South
The southern part of the city has a chic family-oriented sort of charm to it. Here, small locally owned shops run rampant, neighbors often know each other by name, and the monthly socials are an event not to be missed. In the South, children can often be seen safely playing in the park or on sidewalks and in the weekends, families often take to the beach to enjoy the warm waters surrounding the city.

Andras can't help but wince slightly as he watches the stranger lay amongst the grass, her feathered wings used as a cushion as she closes her eyes. It practically hurt the man to see the twigs and dirt intertwine within those feathers - though, he imagined her wings were much less... vulnerable to such things. His were more bat-like, the warm leathery membrane that spanned the course of his appendages were far more likely to tear than the woman's before him. Yet, it wasn't likely Andras would mention those vulnerabilities of his own, let alone let the woman see his massive wings, those said appendages vanished from the Fae in a moment as he silently climbs down the tree, his steps almost soundless as he pads across the damp foliage. Hands sliding into his pockets, he can't help but offer the stranger a friendly warning, the fiery redhead hardly even opening her eyes to assess him.
How very curious.
She didn't seem to deem him a threat, not that he was anyhow, or perhaps it was because the Faerie Lord was on the far side of the bank, the woman having amble time to ready herself if the need arose. And yet, he didn't immediately sense any ill intent on her part - Andras watching with an amused expression, his body shifting lightly to rest his weight on one foot. Her words bring a dark laugh escaping his lips, the raising of one shoulder casually in a shrug, though he's aware she can't see his movements, "Perhaps not a knight in shining armor... more of a man in a business suit," he replies swiftly, hazel eyes, "Plus, I'm not really one of those rescuing types," his eyes alight with amusement, words coated in that ancient accent long lost to the world. When her eyes finally open, Andras meets her gaze easily, his dark eyes weighing heavily on the woman who finally brings herself into a standing position.
He watches her for a moment, the woman smoothing out her dress, her feathers ruffling to loosen the dirt in them. It's only then that he notices how very large those appendages are, it dwarfed the woman and he was mildly impressed she had the strength to hold them up. His dark hazel gaze roams her wings momentarily, noting the... twigs that poked out from them. Andras wasn't entirely sure why but he had an urge to scold her, to demand that she take better care of herself and yet the feeling soon passed. Instead, his brows arch slightly at the comment she throws his way. "My good lady, they are terribly good at hiding themselves amongst the bushes. Why, I'd say that rabbit over there looks suspicious," he gestures towards the opposite of the bank, a bunny hopping lazily through the greenery in search for a snack. And as if it understood the context of what was being said, it's body turns briefly in their direction before darting away swiftly.
"It seems... I've managed to scare them off for you," he pauses for a long moment, that dark smile lingering on his lips before he removes his hands from his pockets, "You're welcome by the way," he simpers again. It was hardly his usually facade he used with strangers, but they were far from the city and from any listening ears that might report back to certain groups. "I can't say I recognize you, are you new to the city?" He asks after a moment, curiosity coating his words briefly. Andras was good with faces, especially ones that belong to the Fae and yet... the was a nagging suspicion that he had met this woman once upon a time - perhaps in another life. The fiery hair made him question himself and yet, he couldn't quite put a name to the face or perhaps he was simply trying to make a connection the wasn't there.
Still, it would hardly harm anything to get to know her.
