West

The western part of the city is often home to the poorer residents. Here there is a grunginess that permeates the town from the graffiti on the once cleaned brick buildings to the broken and unmaintained architecture. Crime runs high within the western half of town, making it the home of supernatural gangs of illicit activities. Such activities are rarely reported, however, and most residents are distrustful of individual's of authorities, and often let the powerful supernatural beings sort things out amongst themselves. Be careful wandering the Western streets after the sun falls.

He could only chuckle when she told him that she tended to overthink when she walked. He understood where she was coming from, though. Whenever he thought about her, he often overthought anything that he wanted to do or feel or think. It was confusing for him.

He smiled over at her when she seemed impressed that he was actually making money off his surf lessons. He didn't take offense to it though. They hadn't talked in weeks. How could she know? Unless she saw him out in the surf one day on one of her runs.

As she fell into step with him, he apologized for being distant, not expecting that she might actually not accept it. She was taking part of the blame, though he knew she was not the reason. He had freaked out and ran. She was just something he wasn't planning on finding here in Sacrosanct. "Malia...it's all my fault. I..." He sighed. Keeping his feelings from her was hard and by now it was borderline making him feel like he was lying to her face. "That day we surfed...I felt things I've never felt before. I got startled and I pushed you away." There. He admitted it. He liked Malia and his attraction to her scared him. Never had he felt like this about anyone. Hell, he had spent his whole life trying to be a good son and a good Christian...and here she was threatening to undo everything.
