" BEXLEY BRIAR "
The sun is setting, and Bexley’s skin crawls with the promise of impending darkness. Of course the sky will first go purple-and-pink, and she’ll have the pleasure of watching the sunset, of feeling the wind, of going twilight-hazy as the clouds drift and unspool, but then she will be out of her element: night-shrouded. She doesn’t like to be without light. Stars are not enough, neither is the moon. Night may be Camdis’ home, but it’s sure as hell not hers.
I was a King, I have a wife and children that I fled from. I frequented whorehouses and bought an Empress. I have snide jokes and bitterness - is this what you seek? Bexley’s eyebrows shoot upward. No way that’s real. A disbelieving, completely incredulous smile splashes over her face as she watches for any sign of a lie, but there is none. Camdis’ voice is even, his expression flat. He’s being sincere. Holy Solis, what has this man been doing with his life?
Disappointing, she admonishes, and turns around. With slow strides she heads west, sinking deeper into the grass with each step, and knowing, hoping that Camdis will follow. That’s all in the past. What are you doing now? I would guess you’re playing by the rules of whatever court happened to adopt you, but feel free to surprise me. There’s something almost sharp in her voice as she tosses that bomb over her shoulder, tick-tick-ticking, the venom in her body starting to boil as she continues to walk. We all have tragic backstories, but there’s no use for them unless it’ll make you rich. Her body is starting to vibrate. She’s not even sure why she’s so mad, just knows that suddenly the sight of Camdis’ face, the fact that he had a life before her, or exists when she’s not around. It’s crazy, but for her it’s not uncommon.
She grinds her teeth and forces a stop to the bitterness in her voice. She even fights the urge to ask a stupid question.He can’t know that she’s genuinely intrigued. Pretty Bexley will lose that card over her dead body.
@camdis she's in such a bad mood randomly oh ma god i'm sorry
