The creature that had stopped at the bar caught his attention. She was striking and seemed so happy. It was a relief to see it. That there were patrons that were light and happy. Shaking his head, he stepped closer and dipped his head.
"You seem to be having quite the good time, beautiful." He remarked with a smile, keeping the darkness within his heart at bay to not drop her mood as well. This was what he had been seeking, even if he had no idea of it. The life that seemed to surround them, as well as the light in her own eyes, even with the conflicts that seemed to shutter that brightness every so often.
"I am Rhysand Drake, and you are?" He introduced himself, dipping his head and then lifting it with a grin. He didn’t plan on letting his heart get involved. Not when he was terrified that his sire would come and finish his threats. But fun, possible playful banter, a friendly face… those would be welcome as he tried to navigate his future.
Turning to the bartender, he softly asked for another drink, his seafoam eyes drifting back to the dawn kissed creature that he had approached. They were definitely not a pair most would expect. She was bright, dawn, striking. He was dark and troubled. Not the kind of stallion that most looked at unless they knew his power, his lineage. That knowledge hit him and he forced the thoughts down and let himself focus on the mare beside him.
