Soft breaths departed out of his pallid lips, low-heeled boots contacting the pavement repeatedly, hands shoved into the small depths of the pockets that his cerulean coat had. Cold breezes cut through the air, tickling his skin as his scarf successfully prevented the lost of body warmth, a small cloud forming with each exhale. Pupils seemed dazed and nowhere near reality, though his figure had swiftly navigated through the various groups that were in his way just as well as he normally would.

Fingers pulling down the cloth that had been wrapped around his neck loosely, the swordsman made his way towards the waiting person, noticing the ever-so-familiar smile that never left his lips. Taking his seat, the teen sighed once more, a stoic expression on his features as always.
