The ruffle of a tattered cloak...A triple-barrelled gun hanging by his hip...red eyes surveying the area from a rooftop...
Of course this would have looked a lot more intimidating if the figure wasn't the height of a doll and looked like a child.
No sign of him...I'll be he's moved on again. This is getting tiresome. The un-intimidating figure thought with a low sigh. He skidded down the rooftop and hung off the gutter before letting himself drop...and landing promptly into a trash can he hadn't spotted from the higher-than-he-was-used-to height.

Artemis was on her way home, Momiji trotting at her ankles. She had a vague idea of which way she was to be going now. And didn't get so lost so long as she stuck with the proper way home. and didn't go a different route. She nearly jumped out of her skin though as she heard something from within a garbage can. Turning on her heal quickly, what was it, a cat that fell off a roof?

It certainly sounded like claws on the metal as something began to jump out and golden claws gripped the top of the trash can. It rocked dangerously and then fell over. Vincent rolled gracefully to his feet and brushed himself off as dignified a manner as he could manage, despite a banana peel on his head.

Artemis blinked in surpries whatwas this little thing. One of those faeries she had heard of that sometimes came to town, or a small child...? "Are you uh, ok?" She asked curiously, though still not sure what to makeof the little person.

"Yes, I'm fine." He replied, as if he had known she was there all along, pulling the banana peel from his hair and tossing it back in the trashcan behind him. His voice matched his form, not a child exactly but it sounded younger than an adult. His eyes then looked up at her, looking her over. "You haven't seen a wizard around these parts by any chance, miss? Elderly man, long white beard..."

"Ummmmmmmmmmm..." She puta finger to her lips and tapped as she thought for awhile, trying to not give in to the cuteness of this strange little being. "Would you happen to mean Merlin?" She asked rather curiously.

"I don't know his name, but if you know where I could find him, I would be very grateful." He said formally, bowing to her. He looked like a little doll...

Artemis had to giggle alittle this time, but it wasn't in a mocking way, more of an awww so cute way. "He is in town from time to time helping rebuild.But unfortunately I don't know the directions to where he lives. I'm kind of bad at finding places."

"That's a problem. I suppose the last place you spotted him would be a start." He said, walking towards her and then out of the alleyway, looking around the street.

Artemis thought again, wondering where she had seen the old wizard last... "At my house actually one night. I guess we'll have to think back further than that." She replied as she kneltdown. Momiji was now edging curiously towards Vincent.

"Anywhere will do to be honest. I may be able to find a way to trace him. I got word he was here recently but that trail went cold." He explained and then glanced at Momiji. "I find it disturbing that I could actually use you as a means of travel." He sighed to the fox, shaking his head.

Momiji made a small sound and a snort, sitting donw and tilting his head to one side. as if he were too noble a creature to be just ridden on. Then proceeded to pounce at Vincent returning to his puppy like manner. Artemis was meanwhile thinking of where they could start.

"Oof!!" Vincent was surprised that the little fox could push him over so easily and then shook his head. "Thank you but I am in a bit of a hurry." He told Momiji, trying to push him off gently, using his un-clawed hand.

Momiji tilted his head inquisitively, Artemis finally noticing her fox's mischief. "Ah, I'm sorry!" She said, picking up the little one quickly to help Vincent escape.

"It's fine." Vincent stood up again and quickly brushed himself down. He looked up at Artemis again. "Please, lead the way if you can."
