The first thing Raven noticed was that there was no view of the sky anywhere. it was a bit eerie--he preferred the outdoors himself. Probably something to do with a sense of freedom. However, the majority of the people seemed quite content to go about their daily lives without even looking up. There was something else about this place that he couldn't quite put a finger on, but it was making the hair stand up on the back of his neck. He looked up again at the ceiling above, frowning at the elaborately painted surface. Had that cloud moved? Probably just a trick of the light--

Distracted, he almost didn't notice the woman heading towards him until she bumped against his shoulder, nearly upsetting his balance. Instinct kicked in, and he managed to grab the edge of the bag she was carrying before it hit the ground, reaching out his other hand to steady her before she fell as well.

That was it, Raven realized absently--the majority of the people around looked more or less the same, save for the few odd ones out, like himself. And--time to get back to reality, he was staring. Hopefully this lady would take that as a compliment--from her looks, she certainly deserved compliments. He'd never seen anyone quite like her before, but her beauty was undeniable and rather striking.

"Pardon me, miss," he said hastily. "Are you all right?"
