[AW] Does heaven have a plan for you?

[Lasairian]

is this a natural feeling or is it just me bleeding?

Perhaps he had taken too long to respond, or maybe he had been delusional all along that he heard anyone speak at all. That was where his mind jumped when he noticed the reaction of the mare tucked there in that nook after he had spoken. Lasairian hadn't meant to startle her, though he is reminded that she had first startled him, as much as he had struggled to keep himself collected over it.

She was small where he was not, and that alone could have been seen as threatening, though Lasiarian truly did not mean to been seen in such a manner right now. It had been awhile since he had tried any of that to begin with, because he was no longer a wily child that needed the approval that came with such things. He wanted respect and to be seen, to a degree, but in the medic field more than anything else.

To be known for collecting stories and gathering knowledge; that, too, he wouldn't mind being known for here. Not the point, of course, but many things were prone to running through his mind on the spot. Better than really diving into his past memories, as he had tended to do of late. That sort of thing was not doing him any favors, and it was probably holding him back more than anything else.

Here and now, however, a conversation was unfolding where Lasairian had been concerned there would only be disapproval for how he had approached, and he was grateful that it was the first and not the other. He said nothing at the stare, acting as if he hadn't noticed it happening at all, and offered a polite smile to her in return. "You've done nothing I would need to forgive. I was being clumsy in my observational skills when I stepped too close," he responded apologetically.

She was then speaking more, and Lasairian's interest was peaked when she mentioned the library and her intention to go there. Lasairian nodded when she asked if it was familiar to him; he was new, but the library was in the lands he had been settling into, and it was already his most favored of places in the entire realm. "I know where the library is, yes. It's my favorite place within these lands," he confirmed almost cheerfully.

Seeing her step from the more shadowed spot gave him the opportunity to see her better, to notice that she was also pale in color. The comment on it being beautiful but loud here gained a quick, good-natured laugh from him, "I agree," and he might have said more, but her name was caught, and he assumed it was his turn to give his own, "I'm Lasairian. A pleasure to meet you, Cassilyn. Would you like an escort to the library?" and then, "take you're time, of course. This place really is a sight to see," he amended gently.
