starter for @usosama
Natsuno traversed the rooftops of Chamomile District with jinrou speed and stealth. He was hunting tonight, so the fewer people who saw him, and the further he was from his apartment in Lakeview Lofts, the better.
And, ugh, he needed to get a bite in as soon as possible. Hungry as he was, he couldn’t afford to play it safe much longer.
Natsuno’s nostrils flared as he caught a human scent closer than he’d expected, and he slowed to a more natural speed before he was close enough for the guy to notice. It was too late to approach from an angle where he wouldn’t be seen, though. Dammit.
Man, were the rooftops a popular hang-out spot in Koi? He’d have to be more cautious about his travel routes.
Oh well. Might as well make the best of it and see if he could bite the guy. Short as he was, he looked like he could probably move pretty fast, so Natsuno wanted to close the distance between them a little before making his move. Which meant trying not to come off as super fucking suspicious, which he knew might be a losing battle in this scenario.
Maybe he could try to - ugh - make some small talk.
“You’re the second person I’ve seen hanging out on the roofs around here at night since I got to Koi, and I’ve only been here, like, two weeks,” Natsuno grumbled, legitimately peeved about it; he’d always been a shit liar, so better to try to disguise his intentions with honesty instead. “Is there a Rooftop Club For Insomniacs at the high school or something?”
At least, Natsuno thought this guy was a high schooler? He could distinguish general age range by scent, but not that precisely; mid-teens to mid-twenties was the best he could do here. This kid was too short to be much over sixteen, if that, though.
Of course, Natsuno looked fifteen, and he was actually a vampire in his mid-30s, so. Size didn’t mean anything, and there could be magic or other weirdness his nose hadn’t caught yet.
