Huge, bustling cities weren't normally her thing, but even those who lived at the beach needed a change of scenery from time to time. So here she was, taking a mini vacation from her little seaside bar to visit a city farther inland, one that was cozily nestled in between mountains. The crowds were a bit thick, but the tall redheaded fae had little problem flitting through the numerous people- all the while careful to keep her pace matching the pace of everyone else in the area. She already stood out enough with her wings, she didn't need to show off anymore than that!
One street she turned down was a little more crowded than the others, as if some sort of altercation was happening, and though Saorla's hearing wasn't much more sensitive than a normal human's, it was easy to pick up the shocked, nervous whispers spreading around like wildfire.
"He just snapped!"
"Did you see the way he twisted that guy's arm?!"
"What language is that, anyways?"
That was her cue to head in the other direction. Whatever had happened, Saorla wanted no part of it. She could hear the sound of sirens in the distance, anyways... Better to leave the situation for the people better equipped to handle it.
At least until one voice in particular reached her ears. It had been a couple of years since she'd heard that voice, but it was familiar to her almost instantaneously. "Dante...?" Saorla wondered aloud, turning back around to gently weave her way through the crowd in the direction it had come from.
Sure enough, it was him. Same blonde hair, same blue eyes. A little older, perhaps, but not significantly so. What was significant was the state her old friend was in now- shaking, edgy, annoyed... And dripping blood from his hand. Ugh. Saorla felt her stomach turn the second her eyes landed on the red liquid, thankfully in the moment that she couldn't smell it.
Hopefully she wouldn't.
The redhead moved even closer, glancing worriedly to the taller Italian man. "Dante~" She hummed, wondering if he would calm down once the recognition settled in- even just a little. They needed to get that hand bandaged up, and soon... "What happened...?" Such a trivial question, one that Saorla doubted she would get an answer to considering his nervous state of mind, but maybe... Just maybe simple, normal questions would help him snap out of whatever had set him off.
She stepped a little closer, slowly, and started to reach out to grab his uninjured hand, though she stopped herself just before. He didn't like people touching him- especially woman- and if the whispers were right, he'd already defended himself against someone else who'd tried to help. Saorla decided it was better to wait and see how stable he was first, her pale eyes glancing up at his.
