［２３］ Stuck in the same place I've always been...

[inkdriedup]

[It's a nice, autumn day with barely a breeze and Lavi is enjoying the somewhat warm weather with Monty. He's raked up piles and piles of leaves, pushing them together so that he could take Kanda out here later. Perhaps they could jump into the leaves together or maybe Kanda's new boyfriend could come and bring his Kanda and they all could enjoy

[While Lavi was raking the leaves, a sudden cold chill - much colder than normal - brushes by him, rustling the pile of leaves until it starts blowing away.

And should he pay close attention, he'd see a cloaked stranger standing a few feet away.]

[He shivers a little and draws his scarf up higher around his neck, huffing indignantly at the pile of leaves starting to blow about again.]

Come on, that's not fair...

[Normally Lavi does pay very close attention to things. But he's worn out from the new exercise he's been doing and just barely gets the feeling of "you're not alone anymore". He stills a little, hand drifting toward the hammer at his side.]

[He takes a step forward, making sure to keep the hood of his cloak over his head to hide his appearance. Though, the smell of blood is suddenly strong, seemingly coming out from him alone.

Without a sound, he just makes his way over to Lavi.]

[It's what has Lavi on edge, it's a scent he's familiar with. Monty is too far away and upwind so he doesn't smell the blood at all. Doesn't realize someone new is in the courtyard with himself and his master so the pup sleeps on.

Lavi lets the rake fall from his hand, hammer in the other and summoning it as he turns around to face the feeling of not being alone.]
