I LOVE YOU LIKE THE STARS ABOVE
Dusk descended swiftly in Denocte, as if the very earth here sung for Calligo's shadow, her darkness. Reich himself adored the cloak of night, but even more so - the stars. It was what turned others away from the Court, that darkness, believing it to be unsavoury, hiding the worst of the worst and not a shred of a soul more. It served excellently as a defence - but it saddened him to think so many cast ugliness on The Night Court, unable to see the beauty that lay in shadow, curved around a star. Still, he had found a place within the Night Court, and he wasn't the only one. His attention slid to the reptilian skinned man that stood on the boundary of civilisation, the people of Denocte bustling before him, a rare few casting curious glances his way though Reich noticed they looked away quite quickly. He cast his mind back to when the man had arrived - a time not so long ago, though if he recalled correctly it had been Rhen that brought the stranger in. And Rhen... well, his fate remained unknown. Veteris was a chaotic land, more corrupt than Novus and more violent. Reich himself had travelled through the old world and found that he much preferred the leniency of the Solar Courts. After a moment of intense thought, Reich realised he had been staring toward the man - Lothaire, was it? For all too long. He broke the stoic mask of his face and grinned at him, trotting toward him in a mess of bouncing curls and coins. "Lothaire, right?" he questioned pleasantly "It's been a while since I've seen you at the Court, what brings you?" The warrior paused a moment and then added "Just don't tell me it's for that gods-damned relic that has gotten everyone fussing" His silver eyes sparkled with humour, the ease of being friendly leaking from his pores - it was all too easy to fall into friendship with the big bay, his jovial grins addictive and his booming laugh even more so. |
