#ignore the spoopy man from japan

@mal-fortuna-juvat continued from ask:

The Amala Network had this strange habit of just taking him where he needed to be, and not quite where he wanted to go. So when he came out the other side onto a dirt road in a land that was definitely unfamiliar, the young man couldn’t actually be angry. Sure, it was not where he wanted to be, but it was not like he could complain right now.

It had taken longer than he would have liked to just walk to the nearest village. He had made a point to not summon anything until he knew how the locals would react, and he already could tell he was out of place. He doubted he was even in Japan anymore.

Now I won’t be afraid. He told himself. I won’t be afraid just as long as you stand by me.

He pat the line of kuda under his cloak, and hoped that he did not draw any… unfortunate attention.

Despite Raidou’s best attempt to remain unnoticed, or more his -mild- attempt, it was for naught. He had been noticed the moment he stepped into the modest village, making his way towards the main market.

Truthfully, he should have known he would stand out in such a place. Dressed head to toe in solid black garments, with the most unusual hat and shoes of anyone ever seen locally. Yet, no one batted an eye... save one pair.

Raidou wasn’t what the main attention drawer, though....

“Uwaaah~ Sir, is that your cat? How cute! I don’t think I’ve ever seen one like him~.... It’s a him, right? He doesn’t have a collar or leash and follows you around. How lucky!”
