From all of the places in Magnolia, he had stumbled upon one of the worst. The food, while good, was accompanied by awful waiters, and even more awful people. He didn't want to cause a scene, nor did he wish for others to know that he was aware of their stares and glares. Truth be told, he didn't know why. Maybe it was his clothes. Maybe it was the fact that he ate alone. Or, maybe, they just saw that he wasn't someone who gave their money on expensive things, without actually needing them. Either way, he paid, got his food bagged, and headed home.
While the encounters weren't that bad, what Ri felt the worst about, was the fact that he was basically alone. He didn't know anyone in Magnolia, and had come here only to visit, or to gather some more money. He'd have to go back to Baska at some point. The days here were proving to become more and more boring, and he couldn't just repeat the same ol' 'Eat, sleep, work' routine he currently had. He was young, for goodness sake. He didn't want to overwork himself. After all, who else had this shiny blonde hair, like he did.
As he thought of this, a small smile formed on his face. "Maybe I should visit an inn. Or a park. I might find someone who can actually show me the good things about Magnolia.." He muttered, to himself. He felt like voicing his thoughts gave him more ideas, or verified if the idea he thought about worked. And, yes, he did seem like a lunatic who spoke to ghosts.
The sun set a long time ago. He'd assume about an hour or so. With a sigh, he trudged on, debating whether or not to visit the library and find himself a new book. His right hand reached for the back of his head, softly scratching it.
The lamp's lights began to turn on, as he walked under them, his gaze slowly lifting to the darkened sky. Almost full moon tonight.
He stopped, as his ears picked up another set of steps. He looked behind him, but not actually seeing anyone, he continued on.
