Rena hadn't been expecting to see someone asleep on a park bench, but then again, it was very early in the morning. She usually wasn't even awake this early unless she had school.
At first, it looked like Mitsuhide-san, but upon closer inspection, the young man had shorter hair and was wearing more modern clothing than Mitsuhide-san did. It wasn't him, either, although he'd worn black too - her head tilted curiously, Rena looked over the sleeping man.
The presence of another stirred Adrian and as tempting as it might have been to roll over and fall back into an even deeper sleep, he did not. His tired eyes opened, revealing those somber golden orbs. This place felt so familiar, so dreadfully familiar, and yet the years away he had spent from Vatheon meant he couldn't quite place this park.
Slowly, Adrian moved to sit up. There was something very vulnerable about him here, he looked lost and the words did not come to speak.
Stunned at first by the girl's courage to approach him, let alone touch him, Adrian sat up somewhat wide-eyed. It took him some time to conjure an response "Ah... yes, perhaps just a little confused..."
Taking her hand back, Rena clasped both behind her back, still gazing up at him. He looked somewhat familiar, but she couldn't place it just yet. "Confused? Maybe Rena can help you." She offered him a small smile.
"Such sweetness..." Adrian murmured with a softening expression "This... place reminds me of something I lost, many years ago. It is uncanny in fact. But so many years have gone by that Vatheon must now be in ruins..."
Adrian nodded at the name and gave his own "Adrian, my name is Adrian." Aliases never seemed to... work in this place so his real name would have to suffice.
"Yes, I have been away from this place for... many, many years. Yet time seemingly hasn't shifted at all here."

"New Year's just passed...but it's only been a few months since Rena arrived here. How long has it been since you were here?"
