The Lonely Lurker (Aeon+Awatsuki)

[Aeon]

The pitch black masked magi sat at a table, it was the middle of the day and people were out hunting prey, it was a rather quiet day in the city, as he sat there sipping his tea it had been a good while since the apocalypse had occurred and he spent most of his days, researching the world and its environment to try to discover new things.

It was a rather lonely existence, but he wasn’t one to make friends all that much, he kept to himself as much as he could.

He glanced down at his sword, the blade was of master craftsmanship it even carried a rather rarer property of lifesteal, it hadn’t tasted blood in a good while, a shame really for such a beautiful thing.

He relaxed back into his seat and sipped his tea, he would most likely stay here all day, watching the world go by there was little that he could do, even as a battle mage, a rare blood of the mages why would someone want someone who would be standing with them on the frontlines taking more risk than just playing it say with a rearline mage.

He would most likely stay here the rest of the day before turning in and then setting out in the morning for ingredients and creatures for his experiments.

He was sure though the later it got in the day, the more people would come in and he would remain in his own isolated area, its not like people exactly want to be around such a creepy figure.

[Awatsuki]

Slowly I was walking through the city. It was busy time of the day and peple were out so I yawned and looked around. I was walking around in my clothing - japaneese style chain/leather armor and on my side I had my two blades. Today I was wearing a long black cloak too pulling the hood on to hide my fox ears. The only thing that people saw when looking on me were two red eyes, long black hair, armor and those two blades. However despite wearing chainmail armor I didn't make a sound walking around like a ghost. Sleepily I looked on the inn and walked inside. I looked around. The tables were full of people. There were just two tables without many people sitting there. I walk over to one and when I see the scared reaction I just turn around simply with a sigh walking over to the other one.

"I'm sorry to disturb you but would you mind if I sit there?" I asked the man quickly before sitting at his table ordering a cup of tea when the innkeeper came around to ask what would I want. I laid aside my two sheathed katanas, quite good work but they looked old, experienced many hardship and battles since the apocalypse. It seems that I'm used to danger, laying the weapons so that I can access them quickly if I needed to use them. I take some notes out of my bag and start doing something with them. "Thanks." I say simply when innkeeper brings me my tea and leaves quickly again.

I sip it and continue to draw something in the notes. I eye you up and down as I'm drawing observing you with a skilled look. Hmm... Probably a magician... However... With a sword? Unusual. A battle mage huh? So it will be probably a sorcerer. I analyse the person before me quickly while looking on his well made sword too. I look on the small part of your face which is uncovered and then return to my sketch. Finally I finish it and I lay the sketch of a fine katana aside along with the list of things I will need. I push few mischievous locks out of my face to look on the notes before me again and start writing something, my handwriting looking very neat and elegant sometimes making a memo on the side in japanese.

[Aeon]

A strange person inquired if they could sit across from the mage, as such he waved his hand in a manner to allow them to sit there if they wished to.

A female equipped with two Katana’s a sword of Japanese origin designed for slashing rather than stabbing next cladded in chainmail, chainmail correctly made was a brilliant armour layer it over a gumberson could be fairly effective, though Aeon preferred to refer to it as ring mail.

What would this creature want exactly….

He could feel their eyes inspecting him and his equipment, this could either mean a killer, a thief, a prostitute or possibly a recruiter, Aeon didn’t show that he felt the prying eyes, but slowly sipped at his tea.

He wondered what the next moves of this creature would be, if they would sit in the silence or break it, how would the world pan out from here he wondered.

That is the mystery of the world…. Anything can Happen.

I feel a quick gaze on my equipment and weapons. He is probably a skilled adventurer. I sip my tea too. He probably wouldn't start a conversation. That's a fine person which I could respect in time. I think quickly what to do. It would be probably best to introduce myself and start the conversation. Knowing more about him could be usefull after all... I look on him again and start talking in a low, calm voice. "Thanks for letting me to sit there. I realy appreciate it." I say simply. You could notice that my hood... twiched a little? No... that's impossible. "I'm sorry for not introducing myself." I bow lightly. "My name is Awatsuki Shizuri. I'm glad to meet a person like you." I say as I introduce myself to the man before me. I look on him with my red eyes. He could also probably notice the scar on my left cheek now.

After a while after the introduction I sip my tea and smile lightly. "The tea there sure tastes good. I usually prefere other types of tea but the black tea there sure has a nice flavour. Even when I'm used more to green tea." I comment the tea with my calm voice. "I will go there more often probably... Yes, that could be good..." I mumble with a low voice, raising one hand towards my face and sliding two fingers across the scar as I'm lost in thought. You can notice that I use gray bandages instead of normal gloves, but I could be using it outside of combat. In Elder Tales everything is possible.
