</div></div><br/><span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua'">Luca watched Aries, his smile returning despite his earlier despairing thoughts of the hunter they were to find. It was nice to see Aries so happy. Luca's smile faded a little as Aries muttered to himself and looked around. He seemed lost in thought for a while as he muttered about where he was before finding Luca. Thankfully it didn't last long and the vampire soon started walking. Luca followed after him, keeping pace well enough.<br/>
<br/>
They moved through back streets and thin alleys. Luca kept an eye out as they walked. Despite it being mid-day, that didn't mean there were other dangers to watch out for. Thieves and the like still plagued the human realm; almost more so now that the undead had made their presence very clear. Thankfully nothing of the sort came out to stop them and soon they were traversing through the darker parts of town. These buildings were dilapidated, the streets falling apart from lack of upkeep. Like every city, there were always sections that fell through the cracks and became poor and underdeveloped.<br/>
<br/>
They came to a handful of apartment buildings that were worse off than anything else in the area. Broken windows were boarded up, whole building sections too, but a few still looked as if they housed the people that lingered around the streets. Those who watched them looked worse for wear and Luca was honestly surprised to see that there were quite a few humans around. How they survived the nights was a mystery. When Aries continued on, Luca followed up until the vampire paused again. Luca waited patiently, knowing full well that of the two -his lover would be the one to find a trail. <br/>
<br/>
When Aries pointed down a connecting street, Luca reached to his vest and drew a pair of knives. He took the lead then, eyes cast to the ground as he searched. The pavement was dirtied by more than just trash. Dark splotches that had long since dried mixed with the general waste. Luca moved slowly. He caught sight of something on the ground ahead and he went over to kneel down by it. He shifted the trash around and the trail of thick liquid that followed it had him frowning. He looked around, it seemed to start there, but where did it go?<br/>
<br/>
Luca stood and scanned the area as best he could. "I think this is our lead, Aries." He said softly. "Do you think you can separate that scent from everything else? I wonder if they took him in a building..." Luca muttered as he eyed the structures around them. <i>Damn...</i></span>
