East

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.

He didn't have many friends in Sacrosanct but he was hoping that would change. He had Kat and Adelaide and now he was getting friendly with Adelaide's employees. Perhaps he'd made some friends there. He was determined to count Townsend as a friend too. So far pretty much everyone he met was friendly enough. All besides the child in the park, anyway, or should he say, the non-child? He still couldn't fully wrap his head around what she'd shown him that night in the park. Vampires, real? It still seemed like a fairy tale. But anytime he looked at the healing bites marks on his wrist, he knew better.

She laughed at his teasing question before saying she wanted to meet a dashing stranger. He smirked, his eyes gleaming as she asked where she could find one of those. He scowled thoughtfully, making a show of looking around at everyone before he crooked his thumb over his shoulder. "Um, I think I might have seen said dashing stranger over there by the ice cone stand. Want to go check it out? I can be your wingman." He grinned, his face sobering attentively as she asked what he was up to. He exhaled slowly. "You could say that." He grinned. He couldn't help it. Every time his thoughts turned to Adeliade, he couldn't help but grin.

He shrugged. "Working in my...Adelaide's yard most days and sleeping most nights or hanging out at the bistro. I have an apartment now...and I may have a girlfriend." His eyes lit up at the very thought. He wasn't sure if Adelaide thought of them as official or anything yet but he certainly considered her more than a friend. Of course he had for a while. The cold wind blasted into both of them and he pulled his jacket further around him. She reached out, saying not here and he chuckled. "Too cold for you, Kat?" He teased her gently but he nodded. "Okay, let's go."

He followed her gaze to a bakery and at her question, he smiled. "Seems like as good a place as any to take sanctuary. Plus there might be snacks in it for you. And me, of course." He chuckled when she said she'd race him, turning to make a show of it but she had already taken off. He followed in her wake, getting close but he was built more for stamina than sprinting so she beat him to the bakery. He pulled up beside her, hands on his knees as he laughed. "So...what's my prize for losing?"
