Slanted eyes would rise, query executing the silence at will. Quiescence was a gift, not a simple tool, yet the stranger would lack ability to go about his own way— So force would beckon he to speak. Discipline and ferocity were terrifying companions, conflating upon triumph and efficiency. 

  “ I happen to be one of the most entertaining     individuals in Sindria, or so they say. ”

              eyelids closed then reopened in an instant, now pulling out the slip of paper with               the a few pieces of information about a job request. this should be enough to               DISMISS any confusion of her appearance there.

Baring a stench that could not be easily overlooked by a creature composed of spiritual transgression. Blinking slowly, strip lashes buffer bronze flesh which emblazon strong cheekbones. Breath flooding from his nasal cavity, carrying a faint whisper of sketched flame, completely translucent to the naked eye.

  “ Nah, it’s okay there’s plenty of other seats     open or you know, I could just stand. ” 

A humble stare is offered in the bay of an approaching individual, languid pools of emerald grazing upon what features offered. Seconds transferring to minutes. That steady gaze rested farther upon the horizon than the stranger, eyes blinking in impeding silence.

         right hand patted the left arm gently, mammary protuberance          gaining a few inches in its diameter, field of view surrounding          the surroundings, especially her back, the opposite side of the          alcoholic. wondered if it was safe and if her lack of physical          strength would place her in another mess.

         petite face met the man at a considerable distance, but her face was          still all mistrust and insecurity. little more than a minute had         passed since the invitation made and already exhausted to the time         of the response. another fast observation to the open space and her         feet finally moved, though hesitant. arms held up in the position that         it was comfortable while her location was altered by shortening         the distance of both bodies.

Sweeping draft of achromatic blanche unseen and unheard by the retiring masses of the converging evening’s auburn strands. Movement throbbing no more in tense footing as drunken gaze pursues who would tread upon the same path as he. Digits twitch at his own side and pace halts steadly, feet dressing the earth in a flicker of dust.

  Which way was it again?

              Left 

                                                         Another Right?

Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.  

    Lucinda ventures closed to the other only to pause. ❝ I-I hope I wasn’t imposing on you…then. I was genuinely curious. ❞ Her cheeks heating up a bit as her hands clasped in front of her. 

                      “ Don’t worry about it, bug. “ 

A blunt retort, causing only for an abrupt scoff to part from betwixt his folds. Lithe brims descending to a subtle smile. Light dawns in the darkness for the upright; he is gracious, merciful, and righteous.
