he'll rekindle all the dreams
you took a lifetime to destroy
From the shadows he watched her, long lashed eyes slightly narrowed, his vast frame as still as the stone walls around him. Reichenbach often watched the arrivals from the coast, for they offered the most interesting — the most threatening of visitors. Some came with items, heavily trussed merchants smiling underneath the weight of their wares, pleased to have made it to one of the most diverse markets within their world. Others came with the shadows of a past clinging to their hair, their skin mottled by memories they were so desperately trying to escape — some even fell into Novus through the skies, confused and agitated at the losses they suffered.
This woman simply walked in — curious, wary, perhaps somewhat lost as her glacial eyes drifted over Calligo's stars. His own gaze followed hers, admiring the canvas of starfire and shadows, his great heart thudding rhythmically. The newcomer drew ever closer as his argent eyes trailed over every line of her elegant frame, her movements strong and certain, the brittle winter air brushing past her silver-dark hair, brightening the vivid turquoise of her eyes. Reich cocked his head slightly, feeling the brush of his own ebony curls against his muscular neck, the shadows coiling around him lazily.
Finally there came the expected...
"Hello?"
How many encounters had began the same way? Reich grinned, pleased, moving easily from the shadows and into the moonlight, casting his mahogany skin black and limned with silver. His roguish face settled into a charming smile, an inescapable grin made from a little bit of chaos, a dash of mischief and the enthralling authenticity of The Night King.
"Greetings."
Was his own, simple response. His voice was musical, a baritone grin given life, melodic and yet utterly masculine. Nothing followed his simple greeting but an expectant smile lingering about the corners of his black lips as the stars glinted lovingly off of his golden earrings and coins.
@Noctiilucent sorry for lack of dialogue, he's much more talkative after introductions I promise haha
