[Verus]

Once again, Verus was out and about on his brightening off. Unlike most times though, he was not in the company of his two friends. This brightening he had felt the urge to get out of the city and enjoy his time in the wilderness, and enjoy what he declared was fine weather. Most thought him crazy for this, but having been born and raised in the snow covered peaks of the Arium Mountains he was accustomed to the cold and had come to enjoy it.

The rhagrhnd was dressed in his usual attire, brown woolen pants grey shirt and his now white cloak. He also wore his shortsword at his hip and the leather armor under his cloak, a habit he had become accustomed to from his various adventures in Nexus Prime. His attire was all that was needed to get him in and out of the gate. The guard knew him for what he was, a member of the military and it was completely likely that the guard had seen him before, coming and going from his patrol routes.

Walking out the gates with only a slight nod of the head to the guard on duty, Verus was surprised to see another man. He had figured that he would be the only one to venture out into the cold bite of winters embrace. But no, here, a rather large man stood before him. With his cloak of white, Verus blended in easily with the snow that lay about. The soft crunch that his leather boots made in the crisp snow was the only sound to herald his arrival. Coming up close to the man, Verus greeted him politely. ”Serale, nice brightening isn’t it?”
