WHO: Bodhi Rook
WHERE: House 23
WHEN: Shortly after Kira's arrival
OPEN TO: Jude
WARNINGS: None anticipated, will add
He had to be alone for a while after. There are things he's finally started trying to fix after the better part of a year, but there are also things he understands are futile, and trying to talk to anyone after he finally left Kira would have been one of those. And probably just as uncomfortable for them as for him. So he walked. It's what he does. The chores that he usually uses as excuses are gone now, all the herbs and little edibles dead or entering some sort of seasonal torpor, the kindling wet even if the supply wasn't fine at home, the dog in no need of his companionship... No, can't find an excuse, just a walk, and he stays out until the day begins to fade and the cold gets in too deep.
Bodhi likes to insist he's never cold. He's too Jedhan to be cold. Everyone else is overreacting. And for a while it's true, but the still, wet cold here is completely different from the arid wind he knows how to take, and his robe isn't really up to it. The cold sneaks in subtly, or he's just that distracted. It takes him unawares when he realizes he's shivering and the line between hurting and numb is getting fuzzy in certain extremities.
He's still not really ready to talk to anyone, but dragging himself to exhaustion did make it a bit better. And Jude's not someone, he's safety. Not to mention in a house far away from what Bodhi can't really face right now. He knows he's supposed to come to Jude now, unnatural as it feels to be any trouble. This is where he should go. But knocking still feels awkward and presumptuous and like it can't possibly be a good idea.

"You can wake me up if you need anything," he says, unsure how quickly he'll fall asleep; there's no real desire to escape the situation behind it, but hes's already proven useless, and he doesn't want to chase Bodhi from the warm room with any kind of hovering.
