this whole thing happened, a certain vampire was taking a shortcut through the woods after being unsuccessful in his attempt to visit a certain cave, not even stopping by the café yet to get new clothes though he did re-button his ruined shirt so he wasn't walking around half-naked. failing that, he tried his shortcut to find a half-remembered entrance down to the labs underneath camp.
one could guess that the momentary leaning didn't mean to deepen into unconsciousness.]
