Did they ever have a choice in being awake this early, Felix wondered ruefully. There was always a host of responsibilities that pulled one from bed much earlier than one might like, even after nights like last night. He gave a noise of amusement as he quickly began to drank his own tea. Black with nothing in it. Best way to wake a soul up.

“Indeed.” Felix nodded, thinking back to the evening before. He had the most distinct impression that he’d learned the most interesting bit of news but could not for the life of him recall what it was. Odd, seeing as he typically had a mind for such things. It’d come back to him later.

“You disappeared fairly early. I assume you had a good time?” He could only recall seeing Ben at the beginning of the evening, after that he’d lost track of his friend. Likely this was exactly as Ben intended as he did have a reputation to uphold.
