Séb pulled into the parking lot adjacent to the huge park where the carnival was being held. Through the border of trees, he could make out dozens of stalls, rides, and other attractions all in garish colours similar to those on the flyers that had increased in number the closer he'd gotten to the carnival. They made an interesting juxtaposition against the grey sky and constant drizzle, and to his surprise it looked like the park was already busy in spite of the weather, with more people filtering in through the park gates.
Checking his phone before getting out of the car, he noticed a text from Hecate. [colour=SteelBlue][i]Très excitant[/i][/colour], he wondered, considering her wording. [colour=SteelBlue][i]I guess she knows something I don't know[/i][/colour]. Noticing the smiley face at the end of her text, he felt a familiar but unwelcome flash of mixed excitement and...[colour=SteelBlue][i]Non[/i][/colour]. He screwed up his face and recollected himself before replying to the message.

[b][indent]To: 'Hec'
[colour=SteelBlue]Déjà là. And I'm guessing you are too. If you're thinking of dragging me in there...I know you know that's a bad idea ;)[/colour][/indent][/b]
Séb read through the text a couple of times before hitting the 'send' button. A paralysing blend of fear and excitement held him in his seat for a moment, but it wasn't because of the smiley face he'd returned to Hecate. Unlike her, he hadn't spent his whole life learning to tame his bloodlust. A silent battle was beginning to stir in his mind; he knew Hec would want to go in, and he knew he wanted to go in, but he also knew he'd be like a kid at a pick 'n' mix. That was, the primal part of his mind reminded him, a great reason to go in there too, but feeding so close to home was not something Séb allowed himself. He knew that if he let himself do it even once it would set a precedent for his own behaviour, and regardless, there was no way he would get away without facing retribution, be it from the coven or elsewhere. [colour=SteelBlue][i]I won't stay there long. I'll be out before nightfall. If I get hungry I'll just leave[/i][/colour], he told himself. If the temptation got too strong he would take himself somewhere out of town to sate his bloodlust. So, resolute, he stepped out of the car, slammed the door shut and walked to the park gate, awaiting Hecate's appearance.
