THE JOURNEY: Innistrad, in a tavern in Thraben

Someone interesting? Well, that depends on your perspective. Still, the young man that walks in draws many eyes. The sound of hooves gives him away, and the long, nervously lashing tail confirms it. A Tiefling. A rarity, an sign of misdeeds.

Which is fine, because Cosmo is used to this. He's noteworthy, whether he's trying or whether he's not. There's a book clutched close to his chest as well, and it's heavy with an arrangement he made via an anonymous broker. This was his ticket out of Innistrad, assuming he could connect with the personage who had the key to open it. A whisper network led him here, directly to this shady tavern. He was to wear a blue handkerchief (done) and order a Blood of Yharnam (in progress). The bartender looked at him skeptically as he ordered, and even more so as he counted out the coins. He had barely enough. Saved up all fortnight.

Finally, he sits in a deserted corner booth. Despite the need for secrecy, he can't help but nervously look around, and accidentally make eye contact.
