Starter for: Lorcan d'Eath @silenthauntings Where: a muggle park (neutral ground) When: midday
Perhaps some might think it was reckless to invite a half-vampire into muggle territory, but Ted knew better than to harbour prejudicial assumptions. An almost-lifetime spent in the magical world had taught him that books were judged by their covers too harshly, and that in these times it was more important than ever to be inclusive. Cautious, of course - but welcoming nonetheless.
Lorcan d'Eath had not been easy to locate and upon discovering him, Ted was not about to force him into meeting where knowing eyes could see. He had more tactful discretion than that. The man was well-known after all, and not a criminal. But he did need to speak with him. Dark forces were targeting vampire communities, and he feared it was only a matter of time before they were tempted or coerced into the war. Oppress a minority for long enough, it will rebel at some point. He saw the flaws in their own world, knowing that this war had not risen from nowhere, and that the Death Eaters were capitalising on disgruntled peoples to increase their power.
"Thank you for meeting me," he greeted once the other man arrived, joining him on the bench where he was currently seated. "I appreciate it."
