Action [Any forest, beaches, or drinking at the bar]
Wherever he goes, he walks silently like a shadow. Unnoticed, invisible, throughout the cities, the forest, wherever he feels like going. One blink of an eye you might see him. The next blink, you don’t. For he’s the Night Walker, one of his many names, and he wanders at night, exploring the cities.

Late at night, he would drink in any seedy bar and keep things to himself. It was hard to see his expression beneath his red hat and the surrounding dark aura around him, drinking his wine and spirits in the corner all alone by himself.

Wherever he goes, he's a tall figure, wearing a red coat, and a red wide-brimmed hat, and a pair of sunset orange sunglasses. The wind whipped at his tailcoat. His shadow overcast darkness itself, blending with the night. Wandering, aimless in his nightly strolls.

Audio
[Here's a voice that Genessia never heard before. It was a deep baritone, dark..and tired. And sad. And lethargic. That voice would have been proud once, even menacing, but the owner of the voice is trying.]

"How do you handle the heat wave? It's hot. Still, for a summer night, it's a good night to drink some blood chilled with ice. I preferred to drink blood, then wine afterward to make it sweet. I feel so hot, exhausted, and thirsty.

I haven't drunk anything decent in 30 years. I think I would pick the path of asceticism by now, but that path is unappealing as most religions go. But I won't lie. I am starving.

Whatever is in those blood bags? Beyond salvation. It's enough that I might want to give prayer a try, but I have a problem with putting my hands together and kneel. "

[Uh-oh somone is a harsh critic tonight.]

It's not every day that Lydia comes across someone that's very much not a native wandering through the woods that she inhabits. Though it's not her that manages to find him first, no, it's the over eight foot tall Aurorus who's letting out a loud and low guttural noise above the treetops that catches her attention.

A frown crosses her lips as she moves from her "home" towards the location, eyes narrowed as her form shifts quickly from the illusion of a flesh and bone creature to skeletal and gaunt with red eyes and dark tattered cloak.

"What do you want?" Comes the snarl not far away, sounding anything but pleased.

Taking a nightly stroll through the woods, he stopped in his tracks when he was asked the same question. It was...a creature he had never seen before. And...whatever the creature is doing, she's protecting her home in an offensive stance, growling at him.

Too bad she wasn't very good at convincing him that she is threatening and menacing enough, at least to him.

"Hm. I should ask the same question yourself. Is this your territory?"

To be fair, she's never really been the most threatening creature even while like this. Though her hands are clenching into fists for a moment before there's the large head and snout of her ice dinosaur coming into view to nudge at her shoulder. Which seems to get a bit of frost on it, but little else.

So much for intimidating.

"Informally. I live out here and conduct my business and survival out here. As does my brother. We aren't particularly keen on people wandering in here." Especially not someone that puts her at ill ease from the very get-go. Not human, she's pretty sure of that at the very least.

"Hm. Very well. I know I'm not very welcomed in most places either. I was out taking a nightly stroll, exploring the wild. I should pick better hobbies, but I couldn't think of anything else to do. Home intrusion isn't my thing."

He tipped his hat toward to her, "I shall go the other way then. You should keep on surviving. After all, Evergladians should be tough just like like yourself and protect what is rightfully yours. It's something I noticed."

Whoever this is, he is trying to be courteous.

[Liora is nestled in one of the trees in Fayren's forest, when something wakes her up. She looks around from the branches, but can't see anything. And yet she can't help the feeling that something is lurking nearby. Is it a wolf? Another dragon? Some other silent thing? Whatever it is, does it even know she's here?]

[Despite her fear, Liora gets curious enough to hop down the tree to look around. At least on the ground, there are fewer branches to obstruct her view.]

Hello...? Is someone here...?

[It's neither of those creatures, not close enough. He heard something rustling in the trees, and when he looked up, he can see her, though the leaves obstruct the view.

He tipped his hat toward her.]

"There is someone. Hello yourself. Who is there?"

[While remaining perched in the tree, Liora extended her long neck towards the ground.]

...I'm...Liora. Who are you...?

Someone's cranky about zhe heat~.

[Admittedly, Rip was no better in some respects. She didn't leave the apartment during the day both because of the heat and the headaches she was still experiencing from her time in the dream docks. Those memories had yet to sort themselves completely out yet...]

Haf you tried zhe rum yet?

"Well, I can't sleep that's why. So I'm out taking walks where no one is awake." He said with a shrug.

"I tried everything. Nothing can ever truly get me drunk. But no, not yet. I haven't found any."

[There's a faint snort.]

I'm an insomniac. I'm used to not being able to sleep so zhe heat keeping me avake hardly bozhers me.

[Fact of her life.]

So, same problem I haf. I've found vats to get drunk... but it alvays involves blood from non-humans.
