This is set in north Halifax, a few miles away from the eastern-most tip of Dhalian territory. 400+
Ehno had spent the past few days wandering through the city once again. The uncommon and unknown sights did well to calm that restlessness that had been building within his chest these last few weeks. Everyone had their drug of choice; his was adventure. Exploring any territory, whether man-made or natural, left him with a wonderful feeling and a head full of new thoughts. It helped center him, let him remember his place in the world. This particular journey was exactly what he needed; his thoughts no longer centered on his missing sister, or the fight he had gotten himself into nearly two weeks ago. The adventure had already lasted a few days, leading him to parts of the city he had never been to before. After spending a couple days in the eastern portions of the city, he made his way to the northern outskirts of the city of Halifax.
He had ended up in an area where the buildings were much smaller than those in the heart of the city, simply a cluster of smaller houses and an apartment complex or two. He had arrived there late the previous night with the rain pouring relentlessly from the heavens. The chocolate hued male made his way into one of the abandoned structures seeking shelter from the storm. He chose to rest there for the night, deciding that he would take one last look around the area in the morning before setting off for home. The Chief Sergeant laid himself down on an old couch in the main room of the house, setting his travel bag on the floor next to him before drifting to sleep with the lullaby of rainfall.
It was silent when he awoke the next morning, but the dim light pouring in through the window told him it was still cloudy out. The big grey giants in the sky rumbled ominously in the distance, warning of a storm a few miles east that would be making its way there sooner or later. Ehno sighed, but remained sprawled on the couch in the ramshackle house. He knew it would be wise to head back home soon and get a head start from the storm. He didn’t move though, intent on relaxing for a few moments more. As it was, he would end up getting wet anyway; the weather in these parts didn’t seem to understand the concept of sunshine. The Marino closed his eyes, an amused smile pulling at the corner of his mouth.
