Despite having slept upwards of ten hours, Wolfgang does not feel rested when he leaves the house. He is at least dressed for the occasion this time in shorts with his hair pulled back neatly out of his face, figuring he is probably going to get wet. Doing this in the middle of the afternoon does not make anyone any safer, but it will hopefully make it less awful than the last time he ran off to go chase something that felt wrong in the middle of the night in a creepy abandoned amusement park.

He likes to blame Baedal for this, but honestly, this is what he did back home, too.

He arrives roughly at three, sidling up to the bank of the river, figuring Ilde will be easy to spot. Then again, so is he. While he walks up, he's opening his senses, trying to see if he can feel anything off, and the closer he gets to this part of the river, the more he feels it. The cold. He frowns down at the water, his brow furrowed as he tries to sort through what that might mean. He won't jump to any conclusions, but Ilde mentioned an awareness, and he's inclined to believe her.

In flats for once, Ilde is already crouching at the edge of the bank, knees together to the side, regarding the water with a healthy suspicion. She'd have come in the water, ordinarily, but under the circumstances - with what they're here for - she wasn't sure that seemed like such a good idea.

(So at least she's clothed, this time, although any bystanders are still getting a better view of her arse than they might've bargained for.)

Most of all, her manner seems first affronted; startling out of the water like a skittish child is for humans and people Ilde doesn't like. She's not supposed to have to wear shoes and take a cab to get somewhere on the damned river.

And--

--and it had felt familiar.
