crimson gaze is adamant in its discomforting stare at the familiar stranger ; try as her mind might ( screaming and cursing for her to stop thinking / it’s no one she knows ) she was determined to keep sights pinned to the ginger. she was not so easily swayed to forget. 

“ i know you, so tell me where from. “

            Dark gaze, black centers hardly a point of contrast to surrounding blue rings, flit up and up and what feels like up to eyes set in an unfamiliar figure’s face. Not once in his memorable life has he met this person. Surely, he would remember someone with this... force of presence and remarkable stature. 

            Unless... he had met them when he’d been without time; he had always wondered what he did when he blanked out, not able to remember how he’d gotten to somewhere new, doing something different than what he had been — swallowing thick this feeling of trepidation that rises in his throat tasting of bile, he removes his hat and dips his head, eyes wedged shut in apology.      

            “ I’m sorry if I’ve ever caused you any trouble, but... I’m ashamed to admit I don’t recall what I did, or who you are... miss? “      A tentative guess; unsure  — but not wanting to offend.      “ I’m willing to take responsibility and make reparations, if possible. “

            Ah! Another overdue introduction. It’s almost as if he forgets himself, along with the time. Clearing his throat and removing his hat from his head, does Roark extend a free hand out to the other man, but before it can be taken, if it is even grasped, does he flinch so hard that it feels as though spine’s every vertebrae snap against one another — sending a violent shudder through his slim form. Fingers do clench, and close, but he persists through this… foreboding feeling, intent on remaining composed. 

            If it is the Devil he feels, he is certain. No weakness can leech upon his heart or faith if he stands resolute. He must, even as skin crawls. Even as his hands cramp with the need to sign the cross over himself.      “ O’Riordan, Roark. I… may be of some assistance to you. “      Surely, he can’t just leave him in this state? Tainted… and… overcome.

            “ I-I wasn’t giving you… any… look. “      Oh, she’s fearsome — tall and immaculate ( and so very vain ) he doesn’t know what to do but avert his eyes and shut his mouth as pink - staining chagrin overcomes his face. Fingers fidget with the collar of his shirt, at a loss of how to address her… command.     “ I was… lost in thought for a moment too long, is all, I assure you. “      He would not look upon her, or anyone, with either desire or judgement. Either practice would be against his values.
