Keegan seeing a god in his dreams, one of beauty, and violence. At first gaze he is mesmerized not at the man himself, but at the gentleness this scar-ridden god seemed to have, interacting with everything as if it's all made of thin glass. As if everything needed to be treated with such gentle care. Keegan himself is covered in scars himself, but the scars on this god glowed gently, buzzing with a light that could only be described as magnificent. Delicate.

"I am anything but delicate, dear."

The god speaks, turning his head a little to where his eyes could be seen, a brilliant rich brown that glow in the sun like no other. A color that would never leave your brain. Unlike rumors Keegan had heard, his voice did not demand attention, quite the opposite. It asked for love, for generosity and kindness, to put it simply.

"I don't bite—" The god begins with a chuckle, "—come, sit, we should chat, you and I."

Usually those specific words would make Keegan shit his pants but he felt nothing but calm, taking a few steps forward.

"Don't be frightened, I am not here to hurt or harm you. I simply want to have a conversation with you." The god says, fully turning to face Keegan, whose eyes never lever him.

Keegan gulps softly, and he almost gravitates towards the god.

"Keegan Russ. I've been watching you."

The god says pleasantly, patting the seat in front of the god that seemingly formed out of nothing. Keegan sits, and it has to be the most comfortable thing he's ever sat in. The god's chuckle rings in his ear, and he can't get enough. As strange as his statement was, Keegan only finds comfort in it.

"Watching me.. how?" Keegan asks, and the god taps his chin with his finger.

That's when Keegan is really able to get a good look at the god. His outfit of silk and speckled in what he believes is actual stars. The color is absolutely magnificent on him too, a deep blueish-purple, paired with white accents that make the short blonde hair pop on him pop. He has flowy clothing on, and as much as Keegan wants to reach out and touch it, he doesn't out of respect.

"I like to watch humans, humanity is as interesting as it is destructive. But you. You're my favorite one to watch. You're kind." The god begins, but he pauses.

"Ah. Where are my manners, you can call me Logan." The god reaches out his hand, and Keegan takes it.

"Nice to meet you, Logan." Keegan smiles, and he focuses on Logan's grip, which has the same delicacy that he had when reached for and touching anything else.

"You, you are not as different from other humans- no offense! But you're a lot more gentle, even with the killing." Logan says with a light laugh, and it makes Keegan's insides soar, and he finds himself laughing too.

"I think you've got me confused for someone else." Keegan says, and Logan's hand moves to Keegan's once more, starting to rub circles into the soft skin.

"I've made too many mistakes with people not to recognize that talking to you will not be a mistake. I am here to offer to court you. I believe you are a fantastic man and this place, this space you created in your dreams, it reflects that."

Keegan takes another moment to really take in his surroundings. He created this?

"You may have done unsavory stuff in the past but that doesn't mean redemption is not possible." Logan says quietly and fondly to Keegan. Keegan opens his mouth, before closing it. He's not wrong, at all.

There's a silence that goes on for a minute.

"What if i'm not the one you're looking for? What if I make too many mistakes?" Keegan asks, and Logan shushes him with a gentle finger over his lips. A bit close for someone he'd just met, but a welcome gesture.

"Nobody is perfect, nothing is perfect. I know you aren't, and I know that i'm not either. You see these scars? Past mistakes. But it's the present that matters, not the past." Logan says, and Keegan finally lets it sink in after taking a deep long look at the expanse of Logan's scars.

Many look unique, as if they were specially fitted for each of his mistakes. Some are from what Keegan can guess is his past lives.

"If you have faith in me, then you have my full trust."

"Good, you don't have to offer servitude, just your love. We can take this slow too, we have plenty of time." Logan says, smiling at Keegan.

"I'd like that."
