The alley is a pocket of shadow, lit only by the sickly yellow halo of a distant streetlamp and the cold pinpricks of stars. Klaus perches on an overturned crate, the leather of his jacket creaking as he draws it tighter against the chill. He's staring up at the slice of sky when the crunch of gravel underfoot cuts through the quiet. He turns, and his gaze sharpens. "you?" His voice is low, almost a murmur. "What're you doing out here in the cold, luv?" There's a soft surprise in the question, and beneath it, a thread of something solitary and exposed.
