"I'll stay and watch." Nakahiro informed her, before stepping aside and letting her enter the shop, while he himself leaned against its wall. His wary eyes scanned the street for any kind of danger, inconspicuous to a passer-by, but he saw everything, and his memory recorded every Nocturne that made its way by. The night was going down onto Ignis-II like a curtain of black silk. The night breeze was browsing through the strands of his hair, blowing it to his face, and that was the full extent of the movement of his figure. He stood in the alleyway with his arms crossed on his chest, patiently waiting for Isana to return with their equipment.<br/><br/>In his mind, though, he was troubled. As he watched the street, a number of them lingered and disturbed his peace.<br/><br/>A young werewolf, a frequent visitor of the library he spoke to a few times before, waved to him. "Hirata! Hey!" she greeted him. He responded to her with a slight bow of his head, and let her move on. Her figure, slowly moving away in the dusk, disappeared in the shadows.<br/><br/>Werewolves like her weren't a problem. Werewolves like this Kira guy, or how he was called, which behaved like they owned the city, yes. Their hunting grounds overlapped... Hopefully they'd meet only some of his underlings. Those were usually weak enough to deal with. If it was the werewolf himself, it could be more of a problem. The last thing he'd want was for Isana to get hurt.<br/><br/>He glanced down onto the ground. The darkness got visibly thicker and deeper, like ink dispersing in water, and Isana has yet not gotten out of the shop... Strange. Did something happen? It wasn't like her.<br/><br/>Turning on his heel, he sprang up and shifted towards the doors, moving with the smoothness of a shadow. There she was! But who was she talking to? That was what puzzled him, even though he didn't let it on, retaining the serene expression on his face. "Isana. I'm sorry to interrupt, but it's time for us to go." he spoke silently, appearing behind the stranger's back without a warning.
