[P] The Darker The Sky, The Brighter The Stars

[Reichenbach]

LIKE ICARUS LOVED THE SUN — The borders of the Night Court were often a well guarded, impassible barrier, keeping the song and dance of the Night Kingdom hidden within their vast and comforting embrace. However, there was the matter of the pass through the Arma Mountains - it was, really, the only way into Denocte, unless you braved swimming in the Terminus. Reichenbach had made it a habit to scout the borders at dawn and dusk, more for his own peace of mind than worry that another court might try to infiltrate their lustrous territory. He travelled like a wraith through the night, a shadow made of smoke and jasmine, silent and graceful as he had always been - as if each slip of limb was dancing to some unearthly song, in tune with the quiet of Calligo's night.  So he was unnoticed as he nestled into the crooks of her embrace, silver gaze sharp as he watched the figure meander from the pass - though already a smile tugged at the corners of his ebony lips, silently begging to laugh with the stranger, to share their mirth and joy. So he did. Emerging from the shadows silently, Reich smiled - a glint of teeth and gold in the night, warmth emanating from his muscled frame.  "Lo Stranger!" His voice was deep and welcoming, a sonorous song that melted the bones. His long lashed gaze lingered upon the slick antlers for a moment, then slid to their sable skin before finally coming to a halt upon the pleasant emerald eyes. Silence fell for a long moment, the shadows clinging to both of their flesh - welcoming them home.  @Seree <3 your table is so pretty!  TOO CLOSE TOO FIERCELY
