[AW] It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah

[Reichenbach]

ON RAGLAN ROAD ON AN AUTUMN DAY I SAW HIM FIRST AND KNEW THAT HIS DARK HAIR WOULD WEAVE A SNARE THAT I MIGHT ONE DAY RUE He watched them from the shadows, wraith-like and silent as he listened, silver eyes glowing in the near-darkness. Reichenbach was rarely cautious of strangers within the boundaries of Denocte: theirs was a city that prospered from trade, a city birthed from all shapes and sizes, home to foreign and native. The symbiosis of new and old blood was what made them different, what made Denocte one of the most sought after places to live within the vast expanses of Novus.  Something hovered in the air between these two though, a companionship birthed from... what? A joint trauma? Blood? This was why he watched, silent and invisible within the shadows that curled around him so lovingly. The King of Thieves had never intended to lead The Night Court, yet here he was: as roguish and jovial as he had always been, only holding hundreds of lives within his hands now rather than a scattered few.  There has to be something or someone around to let us know.. He'd always liked making entrances. "And so there is" Came his musical voice, a low baritone humming with humour. The Night King cast aside his shadows, melting from a copse of trees at the side of the Prairie, dancing upon his neat, hard hooves with vigour. Time had passed as the two had spoken, allowing Calligo to drape the sky with her darkness, the evening star winking brightly above them as Reichenbach arrived a few feet from the pair. The scent of night jasmine and woodsmoke arrived with him, mahogany skin gleaming in the evening light, his wild ebony curls framing that ruggedly handsome face chaotically.  Reich grinned, warmth emanating from him as if he were hot coals - not just flesh and bone. He dipped his head, lowering his lashes slightly as he wiped all thoughts of the last month out of his mind.  "Reichenbach, citizen of The Night Court, at your service." ON GRAFTON STREET IN NOVEMBER WE TRIPPED LIGHTLY ALONG THE LEDGE OF A DEEP RAVINE WHERE CAN BE SEEN THE WORTH OF PASSIONS PLEDGED @ktulu @apollo  agh sorry for my crappy post!  Love the dynamic between your two babes! <3
