Though he wore denim trousers to temper the wind, it sliced through his other clothing. He should have worn the canvas jacket Sally had rescued with his other clothing, but he did not want to go back for it—he was too close to Cali’s. He waited for the torrent of wind to desist before he leapt over an alleyway to land softly on Cali’s roof. As he did each night, he skirted the building and checked for Byron’s Rosso before visiting Cali’s garden. Tonight the parking lot lay empty. After the last time, he could not risk calling with Byron home. He had nearly caught Draven drawing from Cali. If the wind had not abated for a moment before Byron opened the door, Draven would not have heard his approach. He had already betrayed Byron through disobedience and defiance, and he could not risk Byron discovering that he now called upon Cali on a regular basis. Draven dropped from the roof to the side of the garden that Cali could reach with her chain. Though he could not reach the door through the bars, he could reach a pot of soil and a few scattered pebbles the sapiens had culled from the dirt.
