Rain fell harshly upon streets of stone. Horse and carriage creaked and splashed along, going this way and that. Men and women, with feet no doubt soaked, carried on whichever way.
Street lanterns swayed.
A dreary, damp cold gripped tight, and one's breath could easily be seen.
It seemed neither the time or weather needed any heeding here, but for a place so lively it felt so... still. It almost... didn't feel real...

From under the shelter of a small nook, with a hood covered head Erën peeked out into the street. It was late, and still the streets were as crowded as any hub in Vel-Anir. There was not a person walking or riding without a heavy cloak or coat about them, but otherwise these were people obviously accustomed to such a heavy and persistent rainfall.
As for where he was, he knew not it's name, or its ways. In fact he'd never heard tell of a city in this place, set against the river just west of the Spine. Further west, in the midst of the river, there was a tall island with a fortress set upon it. Though now through the dark and the rain it was difficult to see, in the light it appears as a daunting fixture, set high up overlooking the city from afar, with dark flags flying. He'd heard nothing during his time here about it, however people spoke very little to even one another it seemed, at least in passing or while they were walking.
He could hear the sound of a bar or the like some ways down the street, and as pedestrians began to dwindle, there the bustle remained. The other way became quiet, and cool. A distant streetlamp gently swung and flickered, and as Erën's eyes drifted away from there, he caught a glimpse of a figure, standing behind the light.
His eyes shot back.
The figure was gone.
He frowned, and kept his attention there for a while longer, daring whoever or whatever it was to show themselves again.
(OOC: There is a path I have in mind but would love any deviation.)
