Natsu didn't enjoy leaving the house... He didn't enjoy having to go buy things but his mother wanted to spend some time with him tonight. He couldn't object or even give an excuse. He had even said they shouldn't go just in case work calls her back in... Alas, she didn't hear any of it and forced him to go clothes shopping with her. And as he predicted, work had called her in and he was left alone with his chauffeur as per usual. At least he was nice to him...

The two were walking down the quietest sidewalk they could. He didn't like being somewhere so crowded, and it scared him being in a place like this. If his chauffeur wasn't here, he'd probably be panicking right now. But, he was fine... He'd be fine as long as no one was mean to him. Regardless, he'd look at the alleyways he was passing, maybe someone would show up in there? A youkai? Possibly... He didn't bring his sword with him... But he held a talisman close to his chest. He'd maybe be able to protect himself if one showed up or... If something worst did...

Spooky Walk [Wandering Foreigner NPC :: Night] 94244

As fate might have it, a young man walked through the streets, taking every few seconds to stop and look at the area. He hadn't been in Endymion for very long, so he was definitely going to check out the sights that there were to see! He also was here for various other reasons, such as looking into those interesting Demons he had heard so much about. He'd be dressed in rather fancy attire, and definitely almost exotic, painfully obvious he was not from around here. He hadn't been focusing on his current path at the moment, and would be every now and again either stepping on the toes or bumping into others. Of course he wasn't aware and merely walked along without a care in the world. Was he simply an oblivious man or was he just that distracted...?

They would eventually reach where they had parked. It was custom for the chauffeur to go fetch the car band drive back to pick up the one he was escorting. Natsu painfully wanted to just go with him but he knew he shouldn't make things awkward for the man. He'd hand the man his bags before standing on the side walk, watching his only sole protector leave him for the time being. He'd stay as calm as he could, clutching the courage talisman tightly. He'd be fine...

Though, he really wouldn't stay fine. As he tried to block out the rest of the world, a young man bumped into him. He'd gasp and jump back in a startled manner. He hadn't been expecting that... And to have his focus so abruptly broken made his surprise even larger.

Though, he was taken aback by the sight he saw. Such a strange boy walked past him, and instantly he was overwhelmed with a deep curiosity. With an outstretched hand to try and grab the boy's shoulder, he'd mentally scream. He was an emotional person, yes, but this was pushing his limits to a level he wasn't comfortable with.

"W-Wait...!" he'd gasp out in shock, more so reacting to his rash action than anything else. Well, he probably got the boy's attention that way... Or, at least he hoped to have. If not... Goodness, would he even take a step towards the strange boy? Maybe...

The Foreigner looked at the newcomer with a face of interest. "Oh? Can I help you? Sorry for my rudeness, I am new to this city and haven't seen everything," he said, glancing around him before returning his eyes to the other. "Does that mean you too are here for something? The night is rather young and you are here on your own talking to me. To what do I owe your presence? Are you a native to the city?" The man was now becoming more and more interested in him by the second. If he was someone who had lived here for a while then perhaps he could help him in looking for something he wanted to see in particular. It couldn't hurt to ask right?

The boy would simply stare at the man for a few moments. He really didn't know how to respond at first. All of his courage seemed to go into just reaching out his hand to grab the young man. But, he'd inhale deeply. He had to respond... He couldn't just say nothing... Well, he could. And he wanted to. Really badly. But, this guy...

"N-No...You're fine..." he'd say with a small voice. He didn't want to do anything to upset the man... After all, they just met and... He was overthinking this so much, but he couldn't help himself. It was so hard not to think he was thinking all these terrible things and...

"I-I was here shopping... Um... I... Am waiting for my car, yes." was his response on the first bit before he'd nod his head gently. His parents had been natives here before the incident so long ago... "I am indeed a native, yes... I was born here before the incident happened, actually." he'd say with a timid nod. He was stuttering less, that was good... But he only felt confident in telling truths and even at that he was still frightful of what this young man may think of him. He was probably thinking terrible things...

He gave him an inquisitive look and nodded. "Ah, well good. I am not from here and am looking for the sights around the area." He said, placing a hand in his coat before pulling it out to reveal a small notepad. He would take a few glances at it, then the young man then put it away with a confirming nod. "So that event yes. That changed this place, do you think it was for the better?" He almost stared at him, awaiting a sort of answer.

He'd nod timidly at the response. That was obvious... He certainly looked odd enough to be foreign... But, did people really still live outside the walls of Endymion? That seemed kind of risky... But he supposed other capitals had to exist outside of the walls.

"O-Oh... Really? That's nice... It must be quite interesting living somewhere different. Um... S-Sorry... D-Did I interrupt your ventures?" he'd ask with a small twisting of his hands. He really didn't understand why he was doing this... He probably thought he was just awful...

The boy would blink for a moment. What sort of question was that? He'd hesitate, raising a hand to his chest as his heart beated a little harder. Was this one of those terrorists? No, that wasn't right... He'd give a meek smile after a while.

"I-If... Um... If it didn't happen... Then I wouldn't be me right now... And I like me... And I like the kappa that lives in my backyard... So... I guess so. I wasn't very old before the incident... So, this is all I've known." he'd say with a small nod. He had been eleven when the incident happened... But he was so young and reclusive even back then that he wasn't sure what life was supposed to be like before demons and terrorists and the Queen. Maybe it had been better... But he believed that if it didn't happen, he wouldn't really quite exist the way he did. And he liked himself... So... Yeah.

"Not in the slightest. If anything you may perhaps make tonight more interesting." He said, thoughtfully considering the young man's answer in regards to the Eternal Divide. "Kappa? Well whatever you say. Of course you would know little else; peace seems to be rather hard to come by these days. Everyone is out to make up some trouble. I find it very interesting don't you agree?" He nodded once more as what felt like a strange presence brush past Natsu's leg and have enough force to cause him to stumblr lightly yet not fall over. Of course it was naturally a demon. They often didn't mess around or get aggressive till the night time for whatever reason. Did this mean Natsu was in for a peculiar night? The Foreigner chuckled. "This city is full of very exciting things. Hopefully you will give me the chance to partake in it no?"

Interesting in which ways though? It made him question this guy's motives but... He for a split second thought it might be a compliment... Something not awful. But it was only for a split second before he thought the worst again. He'd simply brush a strand of hair away from his eye before looking up at the guy again.

"I-If you say so... I'm not... Um... I'm not the best companion, I'm afraid..."" he'd say quietly before listening to the guy speak. Did he know something he didn't? Maybe... But, if he was foreign to Endymion, it made sense that his experiences are different from his here. Though, he did believe a kappa lived in the river in his backyard. No doubt.

"Do you mean the terrorists? I'm not sure I like what they do... But, yes, they make people think. I'm not sure I have an opinion on them yet though..." he'd say with a small nod, humming gently for a moment. He didn't know what to make of the terrorists... He knew they did bad things to a lot of people, but why? Was their a motive behind their actions? They couldn't just be mindless and insane no gooders... Could they?

He'd stay silent in thought before he was pushed forward, he'd gasp and spin around with the training sword in his hand. He'd blink gently when he saw nothing but a confused looking young man looking at him. Judging him. He'd put the sword away and turn away from him, his hands writhing together as he tried to ignore the beading eyes that were no longer looking at him.

What was that though? He'd look down at his leg before looking at the foreigner he had been talking to. He laughed... Did he play a trick on him? That wasn't nice but... No, he hadn't moved an inch. How could he of...? Was it a yokai? That seemed logical. He knew yokai loved to play tricks on people, at least the more minor ones that didn't want to eat or kill you...

"Y-Yes... It is... C-Chance? Do you... Um, want to do something with me?" he'd ask with a small blush on his face. That was sudden... They had only just met but did he mean something else? He couldn't tell... What if he was wrong and he now thought he was a complete idiot? Oh...

Well that was disappointing. He would have hoped the young man had a mind of their own when it came to subjects like these. It offered room to talk about it; but if they were indifferent then there was nothing he could say, so he merely nodded at him. He chuckled smoothly when he reacted to being brushed at by the Demon. "Worried much? The night is young and full of wonders. Perhaps you could show me places around the nearest area. I have roamed the area the past few nights, but maybe you know of some places that I do not? By all means, I shall follow you where you go!"

He'd stay silent, relaxing his hands gently against his chest as he listened. He wanted to go and do something? Tonight? Right now? He'd blink at the chuckle before wondering where to even go. It was late, many places weren't open at this time. The BackLight was more of a day place than it was a night one.

"I... Might have an idea... Follow me, alright?" he'd say with a somewhat happy smile before walking off into a nearby alleyway. It was just a short cut... He knew where he was going and this was faster than going around the entire block. Regardless, he'd turn right after they got through the alleyway and make a few more turns before stopping at a relatively quiet street. He'd take a few more steps before standing in front of a light post.

"This might seem a little... Weird... But um... This light post is something special." he'd say with a small smile before looking up at the light. Moths were flying around the light, as were they doing to other lights. However, this one seemed to have attracted a noticeably larger moth.

"For some reason, this light post attracts bigger moths. I don't really know why... But I noticed it one night after getting lost here... I saw a shadow and got scared... So I looked up and there were such big moths around this one light post... I think it's a miracle, maybe... Just maybe, though." he'd say with a small nod, smiling happily at the moths before realizing how much he had talked. He looked relaxed for few moments, but he'd soon return to his more withdrawn composure.

"I-I'm sorry... Y-You probably don't even care about moths..." he'd say with a small sigh, looking away for a moment. He probably thought he was stupid or something... Dumb or childish or... Ugh...

He was definitely interested in what the young man had to offer, so he followed as suggested to the destination. He did indeed notice the peculiar large moth surrounding the light. It was a strange post if it had the light to attract them. Was there a trick to it? "Hm, perhaps it is a Demon in disguise....haha what a sight that would be. But the larger moth would end up scaring off the smaller ones no? So it is interesting for a moment of fleeting curiosity..." He said, nodding to himself in confirmation. Not exactly what he was expecting, but it did offer some intrigue into something he didn't know about the city which was what mostly mattered. "I shall consider that and get back to you. Tis a mystery that may not be solved in one night after all."

For a moment? The boy though it would have been more interesting than that... But he supposed something as simple as this wouldn't entertaina foreigner for long with all the sites and attractions Endymion had. He'd smile though, looking at the guy with a suprisngly inquisitive look.

"I had wondered if a yokai could be the cause of the strangeness of this post, but my research prooved frutiless... Maybe a less classical demon is the cause of it." he'd say with a small nod, looking up at the light for a moment. As much as he was a recluse, he loved to fantasize about the possibilities of mysteries. Was he very good at solving them? No, he was always suprised at the end of a mystery novel... But, maybe he could solve the mystery of the weird light post?

"Y-You want to investigate the lamp post? Really?" he'd ask with a confused look, more shock than anything on his face. He couldn't believe his little lamp post could interest anyone but himself.

Spoiler:

"Oh but Demons are what you make of them. The minute you think of an aspect of theirs, it changes them. It may change your mindset of them even. Maybe you noticed something that your eyes played tricks on which caused you to think it was a Demon. What if by that nature, it is then a Demon that caused it? This warrants future investigating...hehe." He said bowing lightly to the young man. "I thank you for this pondering factor. I shall need to head off for the evening, but it is likely we shall meet again, if our involvement with aberrations is so common." So saying, he waved politely and began to turn away, walking off into the night with a thin smile.

A feeling of satisfaction washes over you as a man new to the city shrouded in mystery takes keen interest. Will something develop of this...?
