In short order, Jaxen hurried from the hotel just another shadow in the shades of midnight darkness. Of course, cities were never completely dark. Not even as old of one as this.
A cursory glance around told him the doorman and valet were off for the evening, or else retired to some interior cubicle until their services were summoned. Another told him how many cars were on the road, bodies in the street, or lights on in windows. It was raining. A sly grin split his mouth as he hurried into the pelting rain. Perfect weather. The white noise drowned out the sound of his otherwise feathery footsteps. The city streets were emptier than usual. Best of all, the water distorted cameras.
Rivulets of water streamed down his face as he walked. He felt his hair mat against his forehead. As he pressed on, he felt a twinge of darkness pull his gaze aside. A menace that crept up his spine like demons.
He almost stopped to go investigate the apparent Ancient, even if he didn't see him. But there was no time. The library called.
((It worked. If you want to follow me, that's cool. Not sure if Li would even be motivated to trail Jaxen, though he'd being pretty suspicious. Otherwise i'm going to gloss over the actual heist part and skip ahead to returning with the prize.))
