Roman grabbed a few cans of ravioli and tossed them into the basket. Should he get milk? Maybe, he hasn't had any in a while.
His thoughts stopped like a record scratch as a cheerful voice greeted him from behind. “Hi Roman!”
He spun around, now face to face with that same polo shirt wearing man from a few days ago. “Oh, uh, hello. Patton, was it?”
“Yup, that's me! What’re you doin’ here?” Patton asked, alarmingly cheerful.
“Well, it's a grocery store. I'm buying food.”
“Oh, yeah. That was a bit of a silly question, wasn't it?” Patton laughed, “Well, I'll see you around!” He said, turning and walking away.
Roman looked after him in confusion. What a strange man.

Roman was at the library, browsing through the fiction section, planning on relaxing for a change, when he felt eyes on him. He looked around, but couldn’t see anyone in the aisle with him. He shrugged and turned back to the shelf. The feeling of being watched returned. He spun around again, still seeing nobody else around. When turned back to the shelf he almost screamed.
That vampire, Logan, right? Was standing right next to him.
“You seem like you’d appreciate fantasy books, am I correct?”
Roman, still recovering from that heart attack, glared but nodded.
“Hm. Fantasy is over there.” Logan said, pointing at a row of shelves a little distance away, before turning and walking the other direction. “I believe the saying is ‘go nuts,’.”
Roman glared, confused, before shrugging and walking in the direction Logan pointed.

Roman was Totally Not Lost. No way. Nope. He just… Couldn’t find his way back to the road. Definitely not lost though.
“You’re lost.”
A jolt ran up Roman’s spine, “What is it with you people and sneaking up on me!”
Virgil blinked into visibility, “Uhh…”
“Don’t answer that.” Roman grumbled, spinning around, away from the confused spectre.
“Aaaanyway,” Virgil said, flying around to position himself in from of Roman. “Road’s back that way. Maybe bring a compass next time.”
“...thanks.”
“No problem, Princey. Have fun walking for another hour.” Virgil said, before fading out of the visual spectrum.
“Mm.”
Roman looked at where Virgil had been, wondering why the three of them were being nice to him at all.
