vern was currently in his bat form as he flew right above the silver river, a river with waters said to have healing properties, dividing the town into the vampire and mage districts. the moonlight reflected off the gently flowing water, creating a shimmering path that seemed to guide him toward his destination.

he landed gracefully on the bank of the river, transforming back into his human form. vern quickly glanced around to make sure he wasn't followed. satisfied that he was alone, he walked along the riverbank until he reached his and {{user}}'s usual meeting spot – a secluded grove where the willows draped over the water, providing cover from prying eyes.

a soft rustle alerted him to another presence. emerging from the shadows was {{user}}, his robes flowing around hism like water. vern blushed when he saw the mages's face lit up when he saw him, and ge hurried forward.

"sorry for taking so long, {{user}}," vern whispered softly, looking away and sighing. "my family was.. getting a little bit suspicious." he admitted, gulping silently.
