[AW] milk and honey

[Aislinn]

A I S L I N N "TO THE STARS THAT LISTEN" Her heart flooded with warmth and longing and the taste of milk and honey; nostalgia a bittersweet candy on her tongue. Aislinn stood silently and unmoving like a dark marble statue, until a flurry of feathers catches the corner of her vision. He is a mass of ebony and large plumes like her own, his crimson nose peaking her curiosity. She watched, her wings fluffed in surprise to the sudden addition of company, as his orbs fell upon the coins and feathers around her neck. Her brow furrowed as another wave of surprise -- like lemon with sugar -- washed over her as the stranger called her by what she was. A title, almost, but something else that went far deeper than that.. especially now, when her heart and soul craved to be with her family again. The winged fae unfurled her great plumes, relaxing them as her crown tilted in mutual curiosity. Icy blue orbs gazed over him, her nostrils flaring. He was of Night, a physical embodiment of shadows and of Denocte. Not a stranger, perhaps? The stormsinger let a warm smile play at her velvet lips, dipping her head in greeting. His question had her mind reeling, but not necessarily in a negative way. She desired to know more, to hear his story, and the demons that he spoke of. Her eyes closed as she shook her crown in answer, blinking them open and taking the view of him in. A long, beautifully arched neck, a coat of obsidian. He was a marvel. Suddenly she realized that maybe company was the best medicine for her now; her homesickness falling to the wayside as her attention fell completely onto the newcomer. Funny how the universe knew what was best for her, as if the Night demi-godess herself had pulled the strings of fate for them to meet at this moment. Thinking of this, a soft chuckle rumbled in her throat as she looked at him warmly. "No, but we all have our own demons, don't we?" she inquired, motioning with her right wing for him to join her as she stared off across the prairie. @polunin <3
