[Time Frame: Sometime around S2E3-ish]
Perhaps it was the fact that the weather was quite beautiful that day or that Alex was in a particularly jovial mood that day, but noon found him strolling outside with little purpose in direction. Juggling three apples, Alex didn't much pay attention to where he was going. He didn't expect many people to be roaming in the courtyards at the time anyway. Either they were working or had journeyed outside the castle walls to truly enjoy the day. Alex himself might have gone down to the town to see his family, but he knew that his parents were pretty busy running their bakery for the day, and his little sister Lita was at a playdate with a friend.
Alex found himself whistling slightly as he tossed the fruit back and forth in the air. He had been in a great mood recently due to the time he spent around his girlfriend Brynn. She never failed to leave him smiling and Alex couldn't help but spread his good mood around. Earlier that morning even the chef had found himself tapping his foot along with Alex. The sun was currently giving the air a nice warmth that had Alex rolling his sleeves up before long. The heat had him glancing upwards at the sun with a grin. His eyes started to blur slightly from the direct light and he laughed as he dropped an apple due to the temporary mar of his sight.
"Ah, sun. You may try to bedevil me with your rays, but know that I am on to you. I shall simply have to leave my eyes closed!"
With this statement he picked up the apple and closed his eyes. Still humming, Alex began to juggle again. Years working in the palace kitchens had given him good reflexes and a penchent for tossing things around. He hadn't dropped a dish or fruit yet, but he also usually had his eyes open. He trusted his instincts and let his hours of practice dictate when to let his hands dip and throw the apples. Getting into the rythm was easy enough and he didn't have the light bothering him anymore, but unfortunately he also could not see where he was going.
He must have made an amusing albeit strange sight as he was. Apples flying and head nodding back and forth as he hummed to a nameless tune. However, anyone who knew him wouldn't be surprised in the least. It was quite common for Alex to be eccentric, and this was just another day.
