[Damian doesn't go out at day. The earliest you will see him is at 6pm, wandering the new streets. He seems weary, like he's suspecting people to jump out at him at any point, or like he's having an incredibly intense argument in his head. Come say hi?]
I.
[The first location to catch his attention, despite his insistence on professionalism, is actually the book store. He could lie and say that it's a good excuse to learn more about this world, but he's actually staring right at the manga section through the window.
Time to wander through and make a bee-line toward that shelf and... He stops, skidding to a halt at the sight of a tabletop playbook section and there's a book that's vaguely familiar to him. It's not Serpents & Spells, but the cover looks... almost identical, like a knockoff.
Despite his previous excitement, he looks saddened.]
Maps...
I wonder if I could bring it back to her, as a souvenir. [He doesn't seem to realise he's not alone.]
II.
[Damian, having come to a hilariously incorrect conclusion about the Ani-Mart, will zero in on that Adults-Only sign.
What could they be hiding from children that needs protecting... He tries to sneak his way in but he is picked up by the scruff of his neck by the mech while he angrily flails.]
Unhand me, machine!! I'll know whatever devious secrets you might be hiding and I'll cut my way through you if I have to!
[He is promptly thrown out on his ass like a feral kitten.]
III.
[Damian can be found sitting on a balcony in the middle of an alleyway in the early hours of the morning. He's holding his sword out, indicating he's clearly been practicing for the last few hours. He seems entirely alone.]
I know our circumstances were, and probably still are different. It's not projection to want other people to have the opportunities you did. She was ten, I'm fourteen, she's a girl, I'm a boy, and I haven't killed anyone yet. You can keep your pity to yourself.
[Without a word he kicks off against the balcony and drops gracefully onto the stone alleyway. Then with a sigh he'll turn around and blink in surprise at the new presence.]
