Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā A groan of frustration escaped his throat as his huddled figure sat crouched beneath a rocky outcropping, his clothing soaked and mood souring. The torrential rain and high winds having invaded his small shelter, heād abandoned it in search of something that would serve him better in conditions such as these. It would be preferable to not have to sleep chilled to the bone, shielded from the elements and what doubts that might plague his mind.Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Kaneki rose to his feet, and continued on alongside the rocky wall, his wearied gaze seeking out anything that might hint at a cave lying present. It seemed hours before at last he discovered a worthy enough shelter, stumbling in and nearly collapsing when heād gone far enough in. The winds, still present if somewhat subdued by the walls howled on, serving as a reminder of the poor conditions outside - and the dampness of his clothes combined with the darkness of the cave,Ā reminding him of the sewers where heād nearly lost himself.Ā
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Exhausted, the half ghoul allowed himself to sit and rest his weary limbs, nearly allowing himself to sleep. Still, he found himself all too wary yet - uncertain yet of if he were alone. He was aware of others present in this land, but dulled senses left him feeling vulnerable. He couldnāt shake the feeling of being watched, tired eyes searching the darkness with single kakugan revealed - his sense of unease triggering it.Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā ā Is someone there? āĀ Query voiced softly, Kaneki waited a long moment and sighed, wondering if he were perhaps imagining things again, as he had in the past. There probably isnāt anyone there. Even if they are... His eyes closed. Itās not as though Iāll remain here once the weather improves.Ā
