Ari really should be more careful. More paranoid, more cautious, watching the dark shadows for something that might slink out. But in truth, he wouldn’t even know what to look for, which is perhaps the most frustrating thing. Aside from the normal suspicious behavior of people hanging around dark corners, there’s nothing the human can truly see to distinguish who is a threat to him and who isn’t. And so he attempts to keep his head down, to not be such a noticeably easy target, but that also means not watching as intently where he’s going. They come out of nowhere, the person that steps in front of his path, and Ari nearly walks right into them, catching himself at the last moment. “Sor—” the apology is already half out his lips when his gaze snaps up, and he freezes in place. No. No, not him. ( @mateoaguilars )
