Vincent Nightray really wasn't one for festivities. No matter how many he was forced to attend, he always seemed to hate the crowds. These types of festivals were unfamiliar to him. All he wanted to do was spend the night with his brother... But blast! The raven-haired man seemed to be hiding away from all of the unpleasant noise and people. Vincent couldn't really blame him, most of the time the women clustered around him. Sighing heavily, Vincent strayed away from the obnoxiously bright lights and the ridiculously loud people. More fireworks burst in the night sky. Vincent found himself on a grassy pathway, beside the beach... The blond gazed out at the serene waves and listened to the blissful noise of the waves crashing against the sandy terrain.

It almost made him want to smile. Consumed by an unfamiliar desire, Vincent broke away from the pathway, and climbed down a cement stairway to the sand. He walked closer to the waves, feeling himself strangely lulled into tranquility. He didn't know how long he had been walking, when he spotted a sitting figure in the distance. Perhaps another person who had chosen to step away from the festival? Some others might ave chosen to get away from the busy, bustling crowds... It ceased to matter. Vincent placed his curiosity behind him and continued on his way forward, maybe not even going to attempt to speak with the seated stranger.
