musetime | The breath that passed from you to me

[He had always found the culture in Eorzea very baffling. From the people to just the terrain. It was all very different from what he grew up. It was fascinating to some extent, but mildly stressful. Still... he enjoyed traveling quite a bit. It would be a tad easier if it didn't require having to constantly interact with people of such unfamiliar customs though.

His travels had taken him to an area known as La Noscea. The beaches were actually quite gorgeous and he was particularly taken by the water. Eremes considers trying to find a means to travel on it with a small boat next time.

He was currently hunting though. With how long he spends away from Kugane; it wasn't feasible to just always eat food that was offered at restaurants and the what have you. And he's always been more partial towards preparing his own food. It's why he's currently got his bow out and his eyes trained on a bison. His concentration on what he's doing doesn't help him with how he struggles to react to things to his right though. He hasn't noticed the raptor slowly approaching him from his blind side at all.

His focus is completely trained on his target.]

[Although he'd recently gotten an apartment in the Lavender Beds, Lance couldn't help but go back to La Noscea often. It was an adjustment after an entire life of living with his family, one he had to slowly make. And although Gridania was beautiful, he was still a beach boy at heart.

His current plan was to stay a few days back in Costa del Sol before going adventuring again. For now, he'd decided to take a walk, enjoy the salty scent of the air, and get some sun. From the corner of his eye, as he strolls down the path, he sees a man with a bow aiming at a bison. An Au Ra, at that. Lance doesn't think much of it until he spots a raptor that seems to have caught scent of the hunter.

An archer has to be completely aware of his surroundings, so surely he must notice it. But he doesn't. And Lance realizes it's too late to call out a warning. He grabs his bow off of his back, aiming a shot as quickly as he can--

It goes through the raptor's head, downing it immediately. Phew.]
