The Blessing

The Crocus sun no longer carried with it the scorch it had held during the summer months, the leaves of trees discoloring to all manner of brown, yellow, and red as they fell from their homes to find new ones on the ground. Izar walked through the busy streets, a sight not uncommon to the man who commuted to this city for work nearly every day and even during off days he would find himself at the home of his beloved which rested on the large city's edge. The early afternoon carried with it a slight breeze, a welcome break from the humid air at draped itself across the buildings only a month or so ago.

Stopping at the crosswalk, his gaze falling upon the small cafe just across the street that was his destination where he would soon meet up with someone he'd become somewhat familiar with since joining the magic council. Both through his girlfriend's words and his limited work with the man who now worked as a Rune Knight. The light on the walk sign flashed green before the picture of a non-detailed man who appeared to be walking settled in the small square which prompted the many who waited to begin their march across the narrow street.

Upon reaching the other side he broke away from the crowd and entered the small cafe, pulling the scarf down from his face but leaving it around his neck, a gift from Theia he loved very much as it seemed to always carry a bit of her scent no matter how many times it was dirtied and washed. The cafe was a welcome break from the loud streets, a quiet song played over the speakers, barely loud enough to hear what he assumed to be smooth jazz judging by the saxophone he heard above all the other instruments. His eyes scanned the patrons, many being young adults who likely found their way here from the University not far from there, their presence helping the older looking man stand out much to Izar's relief as he personally didn't feel like searching for very long. He caught the man's eye and smiled softly, making his way over and taking the seat across from him. "Long time no see, how have you been?"
