[A man is approaching the north edge of town late in the evening, the cold, harsh winds whipping his somewhat battered coat around him. He's looking a little the worse for wear, with tears in his clothing here and there, frozen, muddy snow caked on his boots, and his hood pulled down low over his face to block out the icy bombardment from the wind

[Peril or no, there's what is most distinctly a Sniper wandering past.]

[lunaticked]

... [well that was terribly subtle. he follows after it]

[gravity_splode]

[Xigbar is not great at subtle. But it'll lead him towards the housing buildings nonetheless.]

[lunaticked]

[How kind. Nothing like the impression that you're being fetched like a wayward relative.]

[gravity_splode]

[What, he'd rather wander around the town forever?]

[lunaticked]

[No.

But that doesn't mean Xigbar is going to be spared a cold stare.]

[gravity_splode]

[He'll probably just ignore, and after a while the Sniper stops outside one of the community buildings. End of the line, so presumably Xigbar's around somewhere.]

[After that stunt Saix certainly isn't going to go traipsing around looking for him. Instead he digs out his journal, flipping it open.]

Xigbar.
