Noctii misses the foals that scurry off with some of the signos the woman has earned, but she has not missed the encouragement from her. Every fluid movement she makes, Noctii follows. It does not take the entertainer long to notice her, she can almost see the flush rise in the breathless woman. A small dragon lands upon her spine, and their inquisitive expression is not missed by the scholar. She is just as curious about him, though he does not leave her breathless in quite the same way as this woman. The world fades back into focus when the woman finally speaks. Her voice is just as captivating as her performance. How easy it is that she becomes so mesmerized by such lovely creatures. The entertainer surmises that it is because she spends her time in the night markets, though Noctii spends much of her time stealing glances at the entertainers in the night markets. The beautiful woman who is made up of both dawn and dusk introduces herself. Runaveig. Her small dragon is Umbra, and she claims he is her best friend. Noctii is almost envious of the small dragon, how she wishes to already be close to this woman. How easy it is for her to become consumed with admiration for someone. The meek question that comes from her companion's mouth is so out of place. Noctii loved it, and she knew that she would come every night if she knew that Runaveig would be there. "Runaveig. What a lovely name. It is great to meet both you and Umbra. I'm Noctiilucent... I go by Noctii though." She introduces herself before she has time to forget her own name.
"I often look down at the night markets... I look for the entertainers. Perhaps I had been looking for you at the wrong times. I didn't know I was looking for you until tonight." Noctii admits to her, but she is still in awe of this woman. Someone who she has known for all of three minutes, someone who she is sure will be frightened off by abruptly deep emotions. Noctii casts her gaze away from the woman shyly, it is only a few moments that her eyes do not fall upon Runaveig. "I loved your show. I'm not sure if you realize how captivating you are. It feels like you should be dancing in a palace, or perhaps the heavens themselves." The words flood from her mouth before she has a chance to formulate a more reasonable response. Noctii can feel her anxiety sink in, she has worn her heart too close to the surface for a first meeting. Her gaze drops to the woman's hooves, and her worries turn to if she has made the entertainer feel awkward. No, not the entertainer, Runaveig. Noctii smiles and a quiet laugh tumbles from her ivory and rose stained lips. "I'm sorry. Sometimes I get caught up in ... moments. Beautiful performances and stories spun by wonderful individuals. I can be a bit overwhelmed by emotion. I don't mean to make anyone uncomfortable."
Her words have lost their confidence, but she feels she needs to explain herself. Noctii wonders how often Runaveig gets such a response from her performances. She truly was captivating, though she also knew that it was easy for her to get swept away by her emotions. Noctii has learned in her time here that she must be wary and guarded. She knows that Novus is welcoming, but it is also capable of harboring terrible acts. The chaotic thoughts in her head were threatening to take hold when she shook them away. Noctii is determined to stay present here tonight, she will not let her mind run away with the terrible thoughts of the future and what-ifs. Noctii raises her head once more, and gives Runaveig another nervous smile, she hopes she has not ruined her chances of getting to know this beautiful woman.
