✞ first bite; the dhampir awakes ( action )
genessia city
[ Waking within a coffin isn't anything new to him. One might even say that to eventually one day wake to an entirely different world would not be so far a stretch for him to experience. However, to be taken so abruptly from his comrades and mission to put an end to his father's madness, that is new and potentially frustrating, let alone confusing. Add to that the fact that the coffin itself had been surrounded by water (a nightmare in itself) and, well, it had been a rather trying moment for him to get himself out of that situation, but he had, with minor injury involved. Thankfully.
The dynamics of this world are different and foreign to him, the device he has been given almost magical with the way it functions. However, as always with keeping himself calm and composed no matter the situation, it's only after he has come to learn that it is only him and that neither Trevor nor Sypha have accompanied him here, that he makes his way throughout the city.
It is both during day and twilight that he will be found around the city, wishing to learn as much as he can about his new surroundings and what this might mean for him given his mission has now been placed on hold. Pan's Grocery is one place he ends up and it's clear with the look on his face that he hasn't any idea what much of this stuff that lines the shelves are. The Library is another place he finds himself, having an affinity for the older books that are shelved and always one for obtaining more knowledge. He's already grabbed a few books that have caught his interest, having them neatly stacked beside him to the point where they reach just a touch higher than his own height. Careful not to knock them over? The Garden Park is where he can also be found (though not near the pond), keeping to himself mostly on a bench under a colouring tree, trying to figure out how to properly work this device he's been given. So long as you have no qualms about the sword which he keeps by his side or how unnaturally pale he looks, he will not shun anyone who comes near. He might even appreciate some help with this device. ]
everglade
[ It's no surprise that he would end up within this city, is it? Come dusk or midnight itself, he will be found wandering the foggy streets of the city, not at all looking perturbed by its so-called reputation it seems to have. Although, should one seek to challenge him for whatever reason that may be, it will be with a hand on the hilt of his blade at his side that he offers an "I wouldn't" as means of a warning. Otherwise, The Rabbit's Foot is one place which has piqued his interest given the so-called essentials for one living within this city it claims to have; it's a place which he will be found looking around, if even for idle curiosity. As with the library in Genessia City, Periodicals and Paperbacks is a place he can be found within, the tips of fingers gently caressing over the spine of each and every book that catches his eye, perhaps even intending to purchase a few that he holds within an arm. He will be around the Cloak and Dagger but doesn't enter the shop for whatever reason. Otherwise, it's Mystic's Alley where you might find him making his way through. ]

My father...
[ It's of little surprise that he would think to ask of him, given how he has been on his mind prior to his arriving here within this world. ]
...does he still wish to destroy humanity even while here?
no subject
Before Lisa came... he was mostly just interested in toying with them. But when she arrived... she had been pulled from the depths of the fire. He refused for a long time to even acknowledge that it could be her - very nearly went to war with this world because he was certain someone had created a clever homunculus and given it her face. When he finally accepted it... for a time, he was nearly content. You were here, then, as well - briefly, he had the whole of his family.
Until she was taken away again, and you followed soon after. I have been doing what I can to contain him, with the help of his adopted daughters. But even wielding the same power he holds, I am but one man, and the others... they are reluctant to fight him.
no subject
I tried to reason with him, to offer justice against the bishop who had placed that claim on my mother.
[ He still recalls that day and the rage that filled not only his father's voice, but his eyes as well as he lashed out against his blood, wounding him to the point of needing a rest so long. ]
I still hope that he can be reasoned with... but I am not so sure it is possible.
no subject
[Another sigh.] Which is, I suppose, another way I can prove who I am, since I can also get in there. I don't relish the idea of doing it again, but if it would give you and the others another chance at convincing him to set aside his grudge, at least while he's here... I would do it.
no subject
And what would happen to you?
no subject
[He leans back against the back counter.] There is, of course, also the possibility he can be made to see reason without violence, for once. But I'm not going to put my bet on that scenario.
no subject
[ And he won't. Regardless of the lengths he shall go to stop his father, to subject someone to a madness that may very well be similar to his father's... he will not allow that to happen. ]
But I need you to understand that should my father return and continue where he has left off back within our world... I will do what I must to not have anymore blood spilled.
no subject
[He draws a sword from the recesses of his coat - it surely was not there a moment ago - and regards Adrian across its blade.]
I'm down for that, too. [He puts the sword away again, his point made.]
In the meantime, I'll do what I've been doing. Trying to mitigate his actions and protect those I care for.
no subject
Thank you, for what you have done thus far.
