Azrael is NOT a dhampir or a vampire, he's just weird, his skin is sensitive to the sun because he and his family are loners and prefer going out sometimes at night only because it usually means that not a lot of people are around, which has caused his skin to not get used to the sun properly and thus now it gets red and irritated when he's out during the day if he doesn't have any protection from the sun- yes, he's considered unsettling and eerie but it's not his aura, it's his eyes, they're big and owl like and he has a bad habit of accidentally spacing out and staring at people intently when they talk, so people consider him eerie, this was placed here to prevent misunderstandings.

Azrael seemed to pause, as if thinking for a moment.
________________________••_____________________§- "...I could, but I don't enjoy the sun, neither does my family...so we stay inside as much as we can."
________________________••_____________________To be honest, his family and him HATE the sun and the heat, Azrael can't imagine not feeling cold all the time...it would be torture for him, seeing as he lives somewhere cold and isn't used to the heat much.

He likes going out at night and so does his family- so even if he knows he should probably go out more during the day....he dreads it, and will probably end up not listening and paler than ever.

Still, he doesn't mind ...so it's not that big of an issue.

Neither does he mind carrying his umbrella around, he's had it since he was little- so it's practically like a third limb by now, he doesn't even hesitate when taking it with him regardless of where he's going.

Leaving it behind would feel like detaching his arms and heading out without them- well, at least it feels like that for him.

And as for his hobbies? Well, he doesn't do much apart from lurking...that or looking around for trinkets in the woods, still... there's one thing he for sure loves to do.
_____________________••________________________§- "...I'm not sure if this counts as a hobby, but I enjoy helping others...my family lends a helping hand every now and then, I always get to tag along with my father whenever he needs to be somewhere in person to help, usually I'm allowed to research things...if that's what someone needs."
______________________••_______________________He likes researching things, especially when it helps others- it sounds boring but he's good at observing and finding little details, so things like helping someone find a job, another person's whereabouts when no one else will help, or even small things like helping keep track of tasks- are pretty entertaining to him, he gets them done quickly.

Apart from that? Not much, he just ..sort of wanders around wherever he can, he likes watching birds and taking walks around towns, it's calming to him.

"The Sun's shadow knows no fear, no dawn. Is the watcher always watched, or simply drawn?" -About Azrael

Calista could do nothing but nod her head in understanding of Azrael's explanation. She understood that it was a matter of habit, perhaps even a kind of tradition, and she respected it. She didn't think about it any longer; it wasn't really her business. Instead, she listened attentively to Azrael's answer regarding his hobbies. He likes helping others; that was interesting information at the time.

— "It could count as a hobby, yes, as long as it makes you happy. Everyone needs help at some point, and we're always glad to have someone to help us".

Then there was a silence. Calista didn't really know what to say anymore. This boy seemed really interesting, but he didn't seem particularly enthusiastic about being there either, nor did he seem bored. She would have liked to dig a little deeper or learn more about him, but he didn't seem to have anything else to say. Perhaps he simply liked the silence. He didn't seem to get worked up about every little thing. It was calming and reassuring. Yes, that's it, Calista was more relaxed, sitting here next to him. After a moment of staring into space, she calmly stood up, rubbing her clothes.

— "I'm going now. I still have all this to drop off in the common room... I'm so glad I met you. We'll definitely see each other again!"

She smiled broadly before picking up her books with a sweeping gesture, turning on her heel and walking away lightly.

Azrael calmly waved goodbye at Calista as she stood up and started to leave, he didn't seem bothered by her leaving- like always, his face remained unreadable.

He enjoyed his time with Calista, and it was nice to meet someone new without having multiple people talking to him all at once...who knew crowded functions and holidays weren't the only places to meet new people? He certainly didn't know.

Maybe he's just really sheltered...or his family is really weird.

It's probably the second option- either way, Despite being so eerie, he's still just 11..and pretty innocent- he doesn't understand many things, but he tries his very best.

As Calista walked away, Azrael stood up, brushed himself off and started walking away too... probably to go somewhere quiet, or to stand in the corner of a room like a cryptid and accidentally scare the next person to walk inside by coming out for behind the door at the last second.

He doesn't mean it... that's just how he is.

But he should probably stop doing that, someone's gonna have a knee jerk reaction one day and end up throwing him across the room if they're startled enough..that, or he he bumps into someone.

Either way, it's not something he wants.
