"Agh--shit, man, put that thing away."
Wesley blinked at the face that his light landed on, surprisingly
not torn up from the fall. In fact, it looked as though the person had fallen directly onto an old mattress that someone must have thrown out, though Wesley certainly didn't remember seeing anyone lugging an old mattress around, recently. He flicked the light downwards to glance over the man's body, which looked pretty intact as well, though his clothes looked about as weird as anything Wesley had ever seen on anyone in that little town. A tourist? The things his mind arrived at under pressure. Really.
"Um!" Wesley's voice started back up from the silence he'd been stunned into, and he lowered the flashlight to point at the ground. "A-are you--are you alright, sir?" he called into the alleyway, suddenly realizing how cold it was out there now that the adrenaline was fading. "Do you need me to call an ambulance? I have a phone--"
"I know you have a damn phone, you were blinding me with it just now.
Geezus." the man barked, audibly irate, and Wesley drew in a sharp breath as he heard movement from the man's direction. He shone the light upwards again, effectively blinding the poor guy once more, and he uttered a sharp curse and shielded his eyes with a hand. "Just calm down, alright? I'm not here to hurt you, so lay off."
"O-okay," Wesley said dumbly, stepping aside as the man brushed past him, sending a violent shiver up Wesley's spine. Something about this guy felt... utterly inhuman. It wasn't a thing he could place, but his gut wouldn't let him think otherwise. "Okay... wait... w-wait!" he cried, spinning around just in time to see the man leap upwards with a speed and angle that only confirmed his suspicions, and land, perching, on the tip of a streetlamp.
"Don't bother me. I'm trying to figure shit out right now," the man muttered, chewing on a fingernail as he fiddled with the furred cloak around his shoulders with his other hand. "So can you give me a sec?"
"Uh," Wesley breathed, feeling woozy, and he staggered backwards a little to sit on the bench outside the apartment complex. "S... sure. Sure, I'll just... wait."
