1. Arrival in London - Open


No one had noticed a cat slip onto the Tube at Heathrow Airport. A few perhaps noticed the cat get off at Blackfriars, but said cat quite obviously didn't care. He made his way up to street level and darted into an alleyway at the first opportunity. And, a few moments later a man walked out, brushing imaginary dirt off the sleeves of his shirt. He looked around and headed off down the street towards the reconstructed Globe theatre. Unlike the most of the people heading for the theater, he didn't join the press at the box office. Instead, he worked his way around the outside of the building, occasionally trailing his fingers along the theatre's outside wall.

"You're not the same, old friend," he said quietly. "But perhaps you have the same soul."

2. At the Unseelie Court - Closed to Court members



Tybalt had presented himself as was proper, and swore fealty to the Unseelie Court. Mostly because there apparently wasn't much other choice here. But for all London had changed in the centuries he'd been away, it was almost nice to see that at least the fae hadn't changed. He'd just gotten spoiled in San Francisco, where the Seelie and Unseelie Courts were weak enough that he'd been able to declare himself and his independent of that little war. But things were different here, and he would adapt. What he needed to do now was meet the other members of the Court, and get a better idea of how things really worked around here.

3. Taking in the local culture

Unlike a lot of his fae brethren, Tybalt was perfectly comfortable in the mortal world. Sometimes more so than in the Other Realms, truth be told. Not that he had any particular affection for mortals on the whole, except in how they might benefit him. But they could be beneficial, he knew. Like the young woman who was currently handing him his basket of fish and chips. Terrible food, health wise, but oh so delicious. There were small tables outside the shop, and he claimed one for himself where he could watch people pass by. He fastidiously wiped his hands on one of the brown paper napkins, and began to eat his food, all while watching for anything interesting to happen.

"It is kind of a pain," Heiji agreed. "'Specially if you wanna maintain a solid presence. If you're not careful, y'could end up with the neighbor next door phonin' the police about how you're secretly a werewolf."

Not that that would ever happen anytime in the near future.

"Say, I been meaning to ask. You're a cait sidhe, aren't you?"
detectiveofthewest: (Heiji: hee.)

He nodded. There were quite a few catlike fae about, but that was the first that came to mind when he thought Europe.

"Anything in particular brought you to London? Lotta cities in the world, after all."
detectiveofthewest: (Heiji: yeah well)

"Your hometown, huh?" That prompted a fond, slightly distant expression. "There a lot of princes around? Human succession battles can get pretty bloody."

And of course foxes didn't really have kings.

Heiji nodded, but he'd also sort of run out of (polite) questions to ask. So he stood and picked up his drink.

"Alright, well. Just thought I should drop by and say hello. Thanks for chattin' with me."
