Who: Hayate and Irei
When: Afternoon
Where: The pond in the middle of the town cottages.
What: Irei has a threat to deliver to Hayate.

Hayate had been in an agreeable mood as of late, and there were few things that could break the peaceful state of his mind. Despite the recent murders in the haven, it seemed Hayate walked with a light step and smiled kindly to those he did not know in passing. A biting chill still covered the land, and though it did not bother him much, Hayate dressed warm all the same. As of now, he was walking by the pond amidst the town cottages, surveying the calm scenery of the residential area. People were happy here, and most of them minded their own business, but he noticed the tension rising in the air due to the death of the two fae women. Of course, the tension did not affect him negatively; it put a spring in his step, if anything.

Shadows fell along the ground where he walked, and he paused as he glanced up at the sky above. He noticed clouds forming in the sky and knew it would soon be overcast because of them. The wind appeared to be changing directions as well, and Hayate wondered if a storm was on the way. It was quite possible a storm would be coming to create a blanket over the land, and if that were the case then he would need to find shelter soon.

Of course, others might think of the clouds in another way. There were those who were superstitious and believed in old things, though Hayate did not believe in anything but himself. He decided he would return home rather than be caught in a downpour during the cold weather, but the sight of familiar face nearby quenched the idea as soon as it came.

“You,” Hayate simply said, referring to the other man in a scornful tone. Perhaps the clouds were something to be superstitious about, if this encounter coincided with them.
