Cardamon liked the forest.

Not the Forbidden Forest, hell no. He wasn't really a nature-oriented person, but even he knew that it wasn't a good idea to go dicking around deep in the bowels of where any number of horrible creatures could be lurking without any kind of camoflauge or protection. And being made of glass, he had neither. Well, someone could argue that he had camoflauge, given that he technically looked like everything else around him (being transparent and all) but he knew better. Even a stupid animal would be able to see him.

So he liked to sit in the woods, far enough that he wasn't quite visible from the main road or anything near there, but not so deep that animals would be lurking around trying to catch a nice meal. It was just the right amount of solitude, as he sad down in the slightly frozen snow and took out his sketchbook and a flashlight.

It was just past seven pm, but it was already dark.

He wanted to draw some plants that still had wet ice on them, even as they were thawing from their little prison. His shop had been unexpectedly busy, so this was the only time he could come out.

He pulled his knees to his chest and started sketching.

Diam had begun his walk back out of the woods. A black parasol was held up over his head despite the fact that the light had faded. He had walked this path several times in the last month, following a trail of splintered wood and fallen trees. He had long since ceased gaining any more information from the mess, and it was more a method of bringing his thoughts into focus now.

The crunching of grass gave way to the displacement of gravel and dirt as he made his way nearer the road. It was then a light flicked on in his peripheral vision. Diam's small frame halted as his eyes darted off to the side. Several moments passed, his dark eyes discerning the silhouette of a figure, and the pages of some kind of notebook.

He turned to head over to the anomaly in the night, his light footsteps winding closer. The small vampire stopped once he was able to make out the lines on the page, tilting his head slightly as he stared over Cardamon's shoulder. "I admire your devotion to the craft, but would not photographs save you from the cold air and the dark?"
