| The day started simply enough. Wake to the side of his beloved Eulalie, check on the children and ensure that all was well, then enjoy a mug of coffee before beginning his day. There was hardly any time to simply take it easy, especially since the fires of Viride. The process of regrowth would be a slow one, but gradual; any effort put into rebuilding what was lost was a tumultuous task, but one that the citizens of their court seemed to embrace. Mottled wings stretched wide as he stepped outside of the citadel proper, letting himself bask in the chilly autumn air. It was hard to believe that it was already fall… With the arrival of the new season came the twins’ birthdays, and it was even more difficult to believe that his children were one year old. It seemed like hardly any time had passed since they had been born, and yet here they were, one year later. Breathing in deep, the Dawn King glanced about the main courtyard, nodding to those in passing and murmuring soft ‘good mornings’ to those who greeted him in kind with warm smiles. Peace had settled upon Delumine, and Somnus knew to relish it. Only Oriens knew what else might be in store for them now, and unfortunately his patron deity had not been seen since they had escorted the squirrels to their new home. Stepping away from the citadel, the golden dun walked slowly around the courtyard, stopping every now and again to check on Ipomoea’s gardens and smell the autumn blooms. It was as he ambled about, lax and at ease, that he spotted a somewhat familiar lavender colored woman. She was a pretty thing with ivory tresses and a fine visage, and Somnus smiled warmly and cleared his throat as he approached her. They had spoken, albeit briefly, and he knew that he needed to do better at becoming acquainted with the other individuals who called the Dawn Court their home. “Mesnyi, wasn't it?”The accented inquiry spilled softly from dark lips as the dunalino stepped closer to the lilac woman’s side, dipping his head in cordial sort of greeting. “I believe we’ve met, but only in passing, I’m afraid. How are you this fine morning?” @Mesnyi |
Something quick to get us started. :D
