Even heard the shuffling footsteps before he saw the man who made them.
He could barely feel his reiatsu. The library, like all libraries in old buildings on Spira, seemed to be saturated with old chakra signatures of people past and present. It leeched into the walls, the books, the fixtures and permeated the atmosphere. Even was sensitive to reiatsu, but here, in a strange place with so many residents and so many unfamiliar signatures, in a library... the strange man got lost in the haze. He would undoubtedly learn to separate both the background noise of the denizens and the vestigia of the place in time, but for the moment it was all too new, too overwhelming, like the noise of an unfamiliar and congested city.
He was, in Even's view, an odd looking man. A hume of around average height, at a guess, but his posture was poor, and made him appear somewhat shorter than he would otherwise have been. He was dressed in a white coat, a laboratory coat, Even saw, but that wasn't what made him narrow his eyes. It was the laugh that did that.
