[9] Frances' First Encounter

Paris, France.

It was oddly cold in France that spring. As if being under Nazi occupation wasn't enough, a sudden wave of freezing temperatures killed all of the freshly planted crops, making matters infinitely worse for the people of the nation. Food was already scarce, and the constant stress of living at the epicentre of World War II wasn't great either. All and all, it was not a pleasant place to be living in 1941. But for many people, France was the only place they had ever called "home", so leaving it behind still felt impossible.

Atticus made his way down the busy streets of Paris. He had already changed out of his traditional angelic robes and into some plain white clothing. If he was going to leave his old life behind, he might as well start by changing his appearance. So he took a quick moment to observe the local humans around him before adopting a suitably casual outfit that wouldn't draw any unwanted attention.
