YOUR PRAYERS ARE POISON
your pleasure is pain
Everyone is small , when it comes to Reliquary . Larger than life and seeming to take up the entire space he occupies , he very much doubts she would stay anywhere near him if she could actually see him . Not many tended to stay near him , and his attitude and cold stare didn't help that . But it was just how it was , and he doesn't mind it . It gives him peace .
All four ears tilt forward as she speaks , and his original assumption about her being too gentle-hearted for a world like this flew out the window . " Not for everyone . " There were those such as himself that held no fear of the world , and no longer saw it as any sort of danger . Even being mortal now , he fears nothing that comes at him . Not a surprise , all things given . But lips purse a moment , teeth gleaming through the skin as he tilts his head toward her , just slightly . " Determination can be foolish in this world , but you may have the strength to push through it . " His voice echoes in the air , and he merely watches her with a sort of faint curiosity .
He doesn't expect the questions , and it shows in the way his wings twitch and his body stiffens . He hasn't had to talk like this in a long time , preferring to stick to himself , and he frowns before licking his lips with his forked tongue once more , wetting the dry skin . "Only brushing off a seashell . " A simple enough answer , and he wouldn't go around lying about it .
Once upon a time , he had seen the beauty in the world , in every little thing . Now he only sees the temporary existence of any of them .
Another question leaves him baffled , and he presses his cloven hooves into the sands a moment , feeling the claws spread slightly . " I am Reliquary , " he starts , before his head lifts a little , letting out a laugh that could actually be considered 'amused' in tone . " I'm plenty taller than you , Elain , and anyone else in this land , it seems . I'm twenty-three hands in height , in all , not counting wings and other accessories . " He shifts his weight then , growing more comfortable instead . She isn't judging him , and for that , he supposes he could spare a little more time .
