Certainly it’s been some time, but what had simply been an absent face amongst Geardagas’s crowds had become more of a fully realized absence― the frilled curtain that sat in the little window of her flat sitting still for the whole of several weeks, the brass knocker left un-knocked, the knob left un-turned. In the day, it seemed simply vacant.

In the eve, however, its state was more telling: a lamp lit in that same little window, the occasional vague, passing shape. Perhaps it was your own curiosity that brought you here, or the curiosity of another you’ve decided to carry along― reaching to mar the dust on the brass knocker with a gentle hand, or perhaps a less gentle one. Regardless, it takes several and a bit of frustration before the gilded light behind the curtain flickers, before the lace stirs to reveal a flushed cheek, a bit of downy fluff. Seen, and in so being startled, the shape darts from the window; you’re left on the stoop, feeling rather jilted in the air of an evening just beginning to cool.

Do you dare to tread on what’s polite and press on? For the braver, might you try the doorknob― or braver still, the window latch?

―Gerardagas’s evening markets were generally a jovial time: lanterns lit, flickering soft orange under the fine, heavily-woven canopies strung between the little stalls, with Monster and Witch of every shape, size, and forme bridging the gap between. The amount of beings made for a bit of a noisy affair, but once immersed, the din smoothed over into more of a white noise― occasionally parted with music, with the calling of a shopkeep. Aside from the shopping itself, the evening market seems to have become a social affair, with food and drink and chatter, naturally; filled with faces to recognize from all of Aefenglom’s reaches.

Perhaps you keep to yourself― there to see to one or more of the vendors― or perhaps you’re there simply for mulled wine and talk, interspersing quips through the crowd, weaving in-and-out― regardless, however, of whether or not you make yourself seen willingly, you are seen.

Looking up from your place in the crowd, or alongside a stall, you catch a glimpse of a little hand wrapped around one of the posterns that keep the canopies aloft― no, a glove, a widely-blinking gilded eye, an equally golden curl peering out from beneath a rather suspicious looking shroud. Seeing herself being seen, the creature starts― and takes off into the crowd, the breeze of her speed catching on her hood, revealing two white ears and a stream of curls.

―if you aim to follow, are you quick enough to fight through the crowd? If you aim to confront, you might be able to head her off if you duck between the stalls…

[The shopkeep immediately begins fussing about hoisting the rugs back into place, having not seen the cause of their violent displacement. If anything, he seems to assume that the swiftly running Puca had just careened into to stand on her own. Some individuals might see it as an opportunity to jump right in and start helping; not L, so much. The rugs are heavy, most of the magic he knows would only make them heavier, and it's doubtful that he could move them with much efficacy.]

I'm not humiliated...

[Even if he really should be. He seems to think this is some kind of a reassurance.]

Why were you running? Is someone chasing you?

[If she hadn't been, he wouldn't have had to knock a bunch of rugs onto her to stop her! Also, it would be good to know if someone armed is approaching them from behind, in general.]

[Like many geniuses of his caliber, it wouldn't be incorrect to call various aspects of him daft. There's something somewhat helpless about the way he hovers and observes, absolutely inept under these circumstances.

Now might be a good time to pitch in and help pick up rugs. Instead, L counters with]


That's not a satisfactory answer. I don't pose a threat to you...

[Aside from knocking carts into her... but she was running before that point. He doesn't consider it a part of this equation.]

Are you in danger?

[L blinks, wondering if he would sound daft if he admitted that, yes, he in fact often is so tone-deaf. ]

It wasn't my intention to... accost you.

[He doesn't feel it's the right word, so his tongue trips over it a bit.]

Wait, you were... running because of your vanity?

[He stares, as though trying to figure out just what's so unsightly about her. He's never been beautiful a day in his life, and she still very clearly is.]
