Felix ate dinner alone that evening. Well, perhaps not entirely alone - there were two other people sitting at the reserved table… But Felix didn't know them, and they looked like a couple, so he didn't want to disturb them. He just sat down at the other end of the table.
He was used to eating alone, anyway, so it didn't bother him. It was much better than the awkward atmosphere during lunch, or the (kind of) interrogation at breakfast. He preferred to enjoy his meal in peace.
After dinner, he returned straight to his room. Vivi had already woken up from her afternoon nap, so Felix wanted to spend some quality time playing with her. He might have enjoyed doing pottery, especially since he didn't get to do it much recently, but spending time with his daughter was still the best.
They didn't get to play together in peace, though, just the two of them. Barely half an hour, at most. Felix didn't even finish reading a children's book to Vivi, before knocking on the door came.
