ღ “Excuse me!” He really wants to know what is going on. You know, since coming here, he’s been seeing all kinds of stuff. “Do you know what a Valentine’s Day is?” Like what is the actual true meaning of it? 

☩ | Her curious glances down the alley caught the vampire’s attention. He had no doubt she planned to investigate the commotion and flashing lights. His warning came with a head motion to it. 

           “YOU SHOULDN’T GO THERE, IT’S DANGEROUS.”

As if to emphasize this, a shot fell and an explosion, together with the crumbling of concrete could be heard in the same moment.

There were plenty of oddities in this realm that concerned Black Knight. The lack of color seemed to accompany a somewhat dreary atmosphere. The pathways of the Valley’s villages seemed all the more better compared to this lackluster area--or areas, to be in fact.

Nearly everywhere he’s walked it seemed like the streets were more dead than alive. People shoved, shouted, or stepped aside and ignored the shorter Knight’s pressing questions. All this change... This new and flashy environment he’d been forced into... It was beginning to unsettle him greatly.

Seven times he’s tried to find his way to the local food mart. Four to try and ask what currency was being used--and if gems could still be salvaged by the dirt mounds, along with queries of where castles were or thick forests to find shelter in. Seven times--and by the time he’d laid eyes on his eight stranger to pester, he hadn’t paid attention to the roads.

A loud honking horn causes him to squawk and stop abruptly mid running. The lack of it’s flying sends the armored being rolling over the top. A worried crowd gathers and--he gets up, ignoring the sea of people and pain causing his body to tense. He was STRONG. RESILIENT. HE WAS BLACK KNIGHT and would more than likely feel all that pain in the dead of night to sulk over later. Carrying on with rushing little steps towards the red head he’d seen across the street, a hand raises what seemed to be a crudely drawn map with red circles littered about the page.

It had been a very exciting first day in a new place for the young Sin. So many places to see, so many different kind of people and stores. He had been quite ecstatic and spent hours running around. He had never seen a city this big before!

But as time flied by, Sin forgot a very crucial thing. Yes, his very life dependent on it. As his strength sapped away from him. Getting slower and a pain inside of him building stronger by the minute...

“Aaah.... I’m starving...” He whimpered on the sidewalk. Completely famished. The adrenaline had faded away and his body caught up.

And then, perhaps by fate, or just sheer luck, a person he knew. Well, vaguely. It was the old man’s girlfriend. Something like that wasn’t it? Anyway, she helped them save Elphelt and that was invaluable enough.

She nods and looks down. "Not at all... I'm just glad I found you..."

It was.. Strange, to say the least. Actually having her here right now. Holding a conversation with her. He’d already resigned himself to the fact that she was gone before everything happened and now..

Figures she’d be dragged into this mess as well. Situations like these always took a turn for the worse when he was in the middle of it all. At the very least she wasn’t hurt in any way. At least, not from what he could tell.
