Welcome to Gaia! ::

Caedus was a solitary figure for the most part, bundled in his layers of clothes and robes. He did not like to make the first move, and he never ventured further than the last layer of trees. The forest was his safe haven and seemed to be the place he felt safest here in Destiny City—but, then, it was out of the way for most people and gave him plenty of places to hide if he needed it.

It gave him a good vantage point against those that would wander too close, though.

It seemed that most of the faces that wandered into these parts had a purpose—they intended to find him.

He wasn’t certain about this squire, but he didn’t seem to have any ill intention.

It was that alone that drew Caedus from the shadows; he had been wandering around the tree line when he first felt the energy signature and, out of habit or curiosity, he found himself drifting towards it.

The Squire of Cosmos was not difficult to find, but he did not seem like he was trying to enter the forest. Caedus watched him for a moment as he stood before he approached. He was close enough that his silhouette and sharp golden eyes were visible, but still he lingered in the shadows. He cleared his throat—a deep rumble—and asked hesitantly, “Are you lost?”

Caedus regarded the senshi curiously; for a moment he was silent as he watched him.

“No,” he answered after a short pause. “You are not intruding. It is a pleasure to meet you, Erytheia, Knight of Cosmos.”

He bowed his head just slightly in what might have been a courteous introduction.

“May I ask why you were looking for me?”

There was a cautious tone to his words, but there was nothing particularly hostile or ominous about them. His eyes flashed with blatant curiosity, and it seemed he meant no more than what he asked. He didn’t seem like one to beat around the bush if necessary, and given how precious time was to him, he wasn’t going to waste Erytheia’s with pleasantries if there was some important topic at hand.
