Open: Open

Where: Close to the memorial.
What: Night arrives and goes exploring for answers.

Warnings: Language, talking about death.

[Standing in front of the memorial is a tall man dressed in a long, black coat with a red sword bag hanging from his shoulder. He has a hand reach up to run his thumb over the engraved names written in the wall, his face schooled in a blank expression. So far he hasn't found many answers since stumbling into this place, but he also hasn't asked anyone for help yet.

Which would probably be a great idea if he wasn't so horribly suspicious already. Oops.]

[Zuko never met Night when she was alive, but she remembers the face well. Zuko had been the one to take her body from Rin after she'd been killed, and carry it to the hospital. That was when the dangers of this place had become real to her.

So seeing the man standing at the memorial is like seeing a ghost. Don't mind her standing there staring while her mind works through the process of noticing that he's a he and remembering what Rin said about there being a male version of her. Is this just another version of Night? It occurred to her before that the version of Rin that Yukio knew might well be dead and vice versa, but the thought didn't leave an impression. Not like actually seeing both incarnations of the same person.]

Staring's a bit rude, especially if you don't plan on introducing yourself. [He doesn't glance back at her right away, thumb tracing over the engraved names on the wall as his lips pull up into a funny quirk. Walking a few steps along the wall he lets his hand drop finally before finally looking over to her, one eyebrow raised.]

Do you live around here?

--Sorry.

[Zuko breaks the stare, glancing off anywhere else for a minute. She's realizing as he addresses her that she has very little idea what Night was actually like as a person.]

Yeah, I- live here now. My name is Zuko.
