party / arrival [ Were it truly a party for Zero, Yuuki, Ai, and Ren would undoubtedly be present. The thought is almost an idle one, despite him actually entertaining it for a moment, but he can't help the bout of curiosity that similarly lingers at the back of his mind.
—The food, however, does have a great deal of Zero's interest. He's absolutely famished, and while he finds this a little peculiar, it doesn't prevent him from filling up a plate, even followed by a second, (however notably without the pasta). It's almost comical with how much he's served himself, quite possibly not fitting the typical look of someone who has a bottomless stomach.
It's only when the Lawspeaker's words come to an end that Zero, too, pause in finishing his food. He momentarily watches the Lawspeaker out of the corner of his eye, contemplating and parsing through what was said. The implications are alarming, but also, the longevity of his family's lives are a reassurance. Purebloods, like Yuuki and Ai, could easily live well into their thousands, and Ren- well, she may not be a pureblood, but she, too, could have a lifespan of something close to that.
So really- even if Zero did take the Lawspeaker's address as a genuine truth, who's to say his family would actually be dead?
It's that train of thought that keeps Zero more settled. Although he's never been one to panic, however, maybe a small part of him can't help but feel devastated and lost over the information. Yuuki, Ai, and Ren are his entire world.
In any case, he won't learn anything more if he doesn't start any conversations. So he'll approach others and ask around; ]
How much do you know about this place?
Can't Unseelie It (Jersey Devil) [ The initial scream makes Zero flinch, its sound even more piercing, for someone with such heightened senses. The subsequent bats are reminiscent of the purebloods' most commonly used familiar animal. For a moment, albeit just one iota, Zero might even think that there really was a pureblood vampire lurking about the maze.
Regardless, Zero is mindful of every step and breath; listening carefully, acutely watching. And so far, he somehow manages to not encounter anything.
—All which abruptly ends.
It takes Zero little to begin running— no, he was practically sprinting, in that extreme "blink and you'll definitely miss it" way. The only time he'll slow down is when someone else is in the path of Zero and the Jersey Devil. By scooping them up in his arms, then continuing to run. ]
That thing keeps catching up to us, we need to go! Hold on!
[ Yep. ]
wildcard [ Go at it! Zero can be seen around the stables, sketching while sitting outside in nature (he's a pretty good artist!), at the library, or in general exploring out and about. Feel free to message me if you have any other ideas! Info on him can be seen here ♥ ]
