Since hearing about the attacks, Katherine has been doing her best to hide away, although she could easily fight off her fair share of monsters. She's done it often enough before. But she's far more experienced with running, and she doesn't necessarily want to expose herself as a vampire to the city, at least not yet. And while she can play the part of a frightened teenage girl well enough...well, eventually, she needs to eat. And while she could easily make a meal of someone else who's staying at the inn, it's too risky to do so when there are so many people crowding the place, trying to avoid being attacked.

Which is why she's outside, finishing off a young man who was stupid enough to believe her sob story about needing shelter from the birds. She makes sure to leave the body a bit messy, tearing his clothes and smearing some leftover blood before leaving it in the street (there's one upside to these attacks, a dead body will be far less suspicious).

She happens to be by the river, and she hears Ilde before she sees her. Curiosity compels her to head in her direction, and once she spots her form, she stops and calls out.

"Hello? Who's down there?"
