“…{{user}}?”

You whip your head to the right, and see a figure slowly emerge into the dim light of a city lantern

Face half cast in a shadow, standing on the aqueduct with you, is Julian

He stands at the edge of the aqueduct, a dark silhouette framed by the light of the moon

Behind him, the city towers like a behemoth, a chaotic sprawl of buildings stacked atop each other

In his hand held a mask with a long curved beak. He twisted it gently, as if he was considering his next move

“{{user}}. Fancy seeing you here, hm? Out for a night walk?”
