"Hisame, is that you?"
The words naturally fell off his lips, the thought barely crossing his mind before it was projected in any manner whatsoever. A glimpse of the samurai's back even if from a bit of a distance was enough to create a bit of curiosity, and once curiosity was born, action would soon follow.
The moon was high in the sky, and its being was surrounded by a series of dots that littered the sky. The night was so perfectly clear it seemed a little too fortunate, especially after a series of cloudy nights for the past week. Each and every little twinkle seemed brighter than could be, and it all provided a wondrous contrast to the sleepless night that the wyvern rider had been having.
Toss and turn, toss and turn. The restlessness created by a night where no dream would be gifted unto him was enough to convince himself to sneak out in the hopes to find something, though his initial intentions had been stopped by the spectacle that the heavens gave upon him with just the sight that hung above their heads.
"It sure is pretty tonight, huh?"
He couldn't help but at least comment on it as he took some steps closer to the other. What could have easily been interpreted as just small talk came in the form of genuine words. His eyes remained glued to the stars in wonderment, though he did eventually realize something.
"Gah-! You didn't see, did you? Please tell me you didn't!"
He changed his focus, recalling that he had walked out here right from bed, and he hadn't really put in any mind to get properly dressed out of his pajamas and most importantly of all: he had neglected to put on his mask. He hadn't expected to be out much and had even come out alone, not bothering to disturb Ace from his rest. At the very least, he prayed that some darkness of the night had hid his face from the other. Nevertheless, he raised his hands to cover what was normally masked, fanning out his fingers to at least allow him to see.
