ASTRID fanned his face with his hand, trying to cool down his still warm cheeks. To keep his mind from wandering back to less innocent territory, he popped his plate of eggs, bacon, and toast into the food heater to reheat. It had cooled down while he was distracted, and he wasn't a fan of lukewarm food. While it warmed up, he went back to steeping his tea, pouring hot water over fresh leaves and letting it sit.
Now that he had calmed down and the surprise of Wulfric's sudden appearance had faded, he started to wonder why the other man was really here. Wulfric hadn't said anything about coming to the capital. So what was he doing here? Maybe he had some kind of military business that required him to be in the capital. And since he was already here, of course he would stop by to see Astrid. That seemed like the most likely explanation.
