Event Open A Spot of Bother

Jamie was, in every definition of the word, confused. He had gone out in the morning for a nice stroll in the city. He wanted to understand how cities work. The place he had been in Scotland was a town, which is to mean small and less developed. A village was smaller and rural. A city was large and more developed. He had seen pictures of cities before, like London, for example, and New York. This was the first real city he had been to, and it was a nice place, except he would have expected there to be a little more people. It was meant to be a city after all, where it was big and there were a lot of people on the streets.

There weren't many people. He had switched between every security camera in range and everybody was indoors, somewhere. Why weren't they out? It was a beautiful evening. The sunset was one of those pretty pink-orange colours that he's never seen before in his life. Maybe it was cold? Jamie didn't know. He was okay with the cold.

Right now, he sat awkwardly on a bench. There was nobody else around, and most the shops were closed and latched - honestly, it was only 5:38 PM and most stores didn't close until 8 PM - so he might as well entertain himself. He switched between camera and camera, observing the city. This way he didn't have to move. It was going to get dark soon. Maybe he should go back to the academy, read a book, sit in his dorm and think about things. Come back another day?

It was really a beautiful evening.
