Next was the Faceless Void.
"Does he live in a house here? I thought he was from another realm or something." The Templar Assassin asked the Crystal Maiden while they walked up to a completely normal looking house.
"That's the information I have." Rylai stared at the equally normal looking door in front of her. "We'll see." She knocked.
They could hear shuffling steps before the door was opened. It was the Faceless Void who stood in front of them, but Lanaya was momentarily absolutely speechless. It even took Rylai a few seconds and an obvious clearing of her throat before she was able to chirp out her "Trick or Treat".
The Faceless Void, a fierce fighter with no eyes and nose on his face (hence the name), was wearing a bright yellow jumpsuit and was munching popcorn from a bowl he was holding in one hand. The yellow of the cloth from the jumpsuit made the deep purple colour of his skin more obvious and the casual way with which he wore it made his otherness stand out. Compared with this normal, almost boring house, Lanaya felt slightly off, as if this wasn't real. All in all, it didn't fit together, especially not with the Faceless Void being the creature he was.
"It's Halloween again? Give me a sec." He vanished. He didn't walk away, it was more like a gliding out of his place and appearing somewhere they couldn't see him.
"Wow," Rylai breathed, "this is really, really strange."
The same way he had disappeared, the Faceless Void appeared a few moments later at the place he had been standing before. He kind of slid into reality, from somewhere. He still held the bowl with popcorn in one hand, but in his other hand he had a full tote bag.
The Crystal Maiden took the bag and the purple creature popped a hand of popcorn into his mouth with his now free hand. He mumbled a "Happy Halloween" between two bites and closed the door.
They headed back to their griffon. "Did you see his slippers?"
Lanaya shook her head. She had been so shocked by this complete encounter that she hadn't even checked their surroundings, hadn't even thought about the danger the Faceless Void could pose.
"They were like the paws of some cat creature, too huge for his feet and with claws made of the same cloth as the slippers. Hilarious!" The Crystal Maiden began to laugh now, her shoulders shaking. "And his jumpsuit even had a hood! It had ears on it, yellow ears! I would've loved to see him put the hood over his head."
The Crystal Maiden didn't stop laughing throughout the whole flight.
