The hour is late now as Lucas steps out into the darkening streets. He's lost track of time in the office, just like back home, and the moment his foot hits cobblestone the hairs on the back of his neck stand on end. Eyes in the dark. The brutok sure are making the presence felt.

Fumbling with his lantern Lucas decides the best course of action might be to book it to the inn for the night. Sure, he has his little place on the outskirts of town, but he's rather not end up in the woods as a tree. Not even for science's sake.

He is surprised to see someone else out, though. The streets were otherwise empty. He gives a friendly wave before approaching, "Hey there! Probably not the best idea to be out this late. You need a walking buddy?"
