002. [Text/Action for Violet City.]

Several things have changed in these cities, since I've been here last; I hadn't expected this level of progress in such a relatively short period of time. That isn't to say it's a bad thing, per se; this place is still trying to retain some sense of culture, it seems, even if said culture is centered entirely around these creatures we're being made to befriend.
Although - preservation of culture or no - I still can't say I approve of the architecture, it's incredibly unappealing.
[ACTION]
[This had taken some getting used to.
It wasn't exactly that Tokiomi had been afraid of the creature - it was sort of difficult to be afraid of something that looked so generally nonthreatening, and he obviously saw no reason to fear the flames, given his alignment back home - so much as he really, really wasn't one for physical contact with...anything, much less animals. There was also a mild concern at first that it would throw him, but thankfully the steed in question seemed to recognize him after a moment. It had been a while, but he had belonged to Tokiomi originally; after a while of slow pacing around the creature, it had eventually nudged him as though to imply that he should really get a move on if he was going to do something.
Tokiomi had given it a bit of a Look, though it was more disapproving than angry; however, he did have to admit that the animals here were far more intelligent than they were back in his home world. So it was decided, then; muttering something about how he sincerely hoped this one would use that intelligence to not throw him off or burn him horrendously through his clothes, he had vaulted up onto its back, and...huh.
Well, this wasn't...terrible. The most contact he'd had with any sort of animal in his life, which was certainly unpleasant, but it wasn't intolerable.
And so it had come to pass that Tokiomi Tohsaka had shown up in Violet City, giving absolutely zero damns that he was doing so astride a flaming unicorn and seeing no reason to dismount upon arrival, choosing instead to ride the damn thing like he has all the swag in the world.
...well, that's not entirely true - he clearly dismounted somewhere along the line to partake in Violet City's...ah, specialty, there.
Flaming unicorn.
Glass of red.
Rather expensive-looking jewel-encrusted staff tucked under his arm.
More composure and elegance than you can shake a stick at.
...and no sense of direction, he has no idea where he's going and has taken to just wandering around aimlessly until he finds something familiar or is stopped.
Can't win them all, clearly.]
