[Luca]

Luca often found himself wandering as well. He had spent so much of his life hiding from the world, and now that he had built up his confidence he was trying his best to make up for it all. This time, however, he knew where he was going. Luca was on his way to the Ascendants again, intent on visiting Shininglight once more. He wasn't going to trespass this time, but rather watch him from a distance. Luca found himself doing that a lot lately. The beat of his wings broke the relative silence as he descended, drawn over by the nearby river. The journey between the clans was a long one, so he often stopped in the unclaimed lands to rest and recover. The cool grass was welcome against his paws as he landed, folding his wings against his sides and surveying his surroundings. He had to do a double take as his gaze passed over Lewis, blinking twice before staring right at him. He wasn't used to having company this far from the other territories.

"Hello," Luca said somewhat hesitantly as he approached, his voice soft against the bubbling of the river. This stranger smelled like all sorts of pleasant things, although the faint hints of death didn't escape Luca's senses. He was well used to sniffing out death by now. There was something else there as well, the distinct scent of a clan. Much like Lewis, Luca was rather to people rather than places. He never got the point of blindly following a whole clan; he found all the politics and the rules stifling and annoying. It was for this reason that he saw no problem with interacting with other-clanners, although he knew that not everyone felt the same. He was cautious as he sat down a small ways away from Lewis, obviously taking great curiosity in his appearance. Ever since Luca was a child he had been oddly fascinated with the dead, so it was only natural that this half-dead pixie bob would interest him. "Um, I'm Luca. Who're you?" He continued, deciding to risk his luck and strike up a conversation.
