Scarlett was in a good mood this morning as she prepared to head out into the streets of Valais for breakfast again with Monsieur Talbot. The sun was shining and Charlie was happily singing a song of good morning as he followed her down the street, keeping a friendly eye on her. She wasn't even sure why she'd agreed to meet with him again, other than he'd managed to spark some curiosity within her. Who was he? How did he know about what Mercy had said to her last year?

Perhaps most importantly, he'd managed to twice get her out of the apartment now. She hummed a happy tune as she walked the cobblestone streets, inhaling the smells of bread baked fresh this morning, fresh brewing tea and coffee, sizzling salted meats as the street vendors came to life as they did every morning as if by ritual.
