He hadn't gone far from the gate he'd entered, despite it being a week now since his own arrival. Subaru was restless, a bit paler than normal with hunger, but it was the restlessness that ate at him and drove him to move. This afternoon was no different. The sun would be just past it's zenith, and yet again Subaru was glad that the legends about vampires and sunlight were simply myths. He would have hated to be a completely nocturnal creature. Pleasant people tended to be out in the day.

Not that Subaru himself was a creature of light. But those were musings for another day.

If he wasn't so sure that this place was inherently dangerous, he could perhaps appreciate the beauty of it far more.
