[This black-out was inconvenient to say the least. It was hard to maintain businesses without electricity, and once daylight was gone, it was even worse. It reminded him how much he missed the simplicity of chem-tech lights and other augmented technology from their world. He wasn't actually bothered by the darkness itself as he had grown up in the dark and learned to read in those small pockets of dimness. He navigated just fine.
The cold of night on the other hand was far more of a problem. He was thankful for the more heavy duty jackets that he and Jinx had acquired in their stay here as they were coming in handy. He disliked having to wear them inside just to make sleep bearable, and despite Jinx's suggestions of cuddling to conserve body heat, he had been resistant to the idea. That wasn't unusual.
He shifted his head from where it rested on his chair and shivered as he stretched from where he had slept, looking up at the ceiling where Jinx's hammock was amid the rafters. He spent some time just watching her up there, letting his thoughts drift to the day and week ahead, his plans and everything else. It was as close to his 'quiet' time as he ever allowed himself anyway.
Still, he couldn't stay here long as there were things to do. His daughter slept and that was odd but not bad at all.]
