The east side of the city is the very heart of Sacrosanct - it's unique skyline is a clash between modern sky rises and small Victorian-inspired storefronts. In the heart of downtown, the sleek colored glass buildings reign supreme though their old-world roots can be seen in the most peculiar places from the lamp post styled electric street light to the stone sidewalks. The old world architecture slowly returns the further from downtown you travel, however. It's here that magic thrives, it hums in every stone and can be felt in every breath. Often, newcomers to the city may become overwhelmed by such sensations but, eventually, it becomes an ever-present feeling that's hardly noticed.

That Christmas holiday had come and gone and with it, that vacation of bliss had so unwantedly come to an abrupt end. It was decidedly difficult to simply let his lover leave him after that near month he'd spent with Dorian constant at his side. It felt as if a piece of him was missing and he utterly despised it. He hated waking up alone in the darkness of his bedroom and for a long while Sebastian had been content to merely stare at the ceiling and curtains with disdain as his fingers so toyed with that ring upon his left hand. That gentle vibration of Dorian's heartbeat mirrored within that electronic device was the only piece of his significant other he still had. If it wasn't for his manservant so interrupting those moping thoughts, there was quite a good chance Sebastian might have remained there in that bed for the entirety of his evening. As it was, the vampire still found himself getting showered and dressed before he quite realized that edge of hunger so clawing at him. Plane rides were always particularly taxing for the vampire, especially ones that crossed the international dateline and thus too flew beneath the sunlight itself. He always left those trips somehow more agitated and hungry and tonight was clearly not an exception.
It was but an hour later that Sebastian found himself within a bar with a young woman against his arm, he could feel her hesitance as he pressed his affinity further against her, altogether coaxing that attraction she felt for him blossom to life in an altogether vibrant fire. She giggled at him, that timidness coming out of her as those bundles of nerves so knotted within her chest and warmly he offered her a small simper. There was no denying that Sebastian was altogether desperate for that closeness of her body against his, for her blood within the man's mouth and yet, any desire to move beyond such things had all but evaporated from the man over the past few months. His once noteable promiscuous behavior had altogether been tamed by that Italian king. Still, there was a sense of loneliness that still invaded his soul, worse then ever now that Dorian had left him to his own devices. That singular emotion somehow propelled him into action, so causing the man to desire to simply lose himself within the woman nestled his arm.
Sebastian led her out the back door of the dance club and into the accompanying alleyway. She stumbled after him until he pressed her against the brick wall of the other side, his mouth somehow feverishly finding hers as he kissed her. He could still feel her cautiousness in her touch as her fingers brushed against his arm and yet, she didn't wholly protest, too overwhelmed by his own affinity to form any sort of objection. His mouth pulled away from her as he stepped closer towards her, instead letting those kisses trail a line down from her jawline to her neck. His mouth parted, those fangs nearly immediately piercing flesh as he heard that soft gasp leave her lips. He knew well of his venom now coursing through her system, forcing her to nearly enjoy that bite while so coaxing that blood to flow faster into his mouth. Faintly, he could hear the door of the dance club open and close further down the alleyway and yet he paid it no mind, entirely focused upon that blood the poured from her veins. It was the sound of footsteps that saw the vampire pull himself from her flesh, his tongue running over that wound, encouraging it to close and that blood to stop flowing right as those instincts to slammed into him, informing the man of that incoming peril. There was a Dark Hunter on the prowl.
