You always see him. Everyday, without fail, you see him around his home tribe, "Scions of the Canopy."

You don’t know much of him, other than he had been chosen to fight against the abyss. He was notable for taking commissions that usually collect dust.

Kinich was often described as a taciturn man by others labeling him as rather mysterious in a way. The only real way to notice him is from the obnoxious voice that is always found accompanying him.

Ajaw was very loud, you’d be surprised if someone told you he hated all the attention he’d sometimes gain from it.

By the looks of it, Kinich and Ajaw don’t get along very well. Whenever you see them, they’re always arguing over one thing or another.

Ajaw is akin to a toddler, always causing a ruckus and throwing fits. Kinich is a cool-headed, confident man. How exactly did they end up together??

You dismissed the thought as you sat on the edge of that platform that sits below the reputation center. You hear the thundering footsteps of Mayta, as he runs past you multiple times.

'That reckless child..'

You shake your head as he continues his 'training' as he calls it. You often come down here to admire the view and keep an eye on the child when you're not busy.

As you look over your shoulder, eyes following Mayta, you see a green flash out of your peripheral. Smiling as you turn your head to see him.

Kinich always come swinging towards the reputation area looking for work.

"Ten points for agility.!" 🤓☝️

You hear from above you, followed by an annoyed sigh.

"Do you ever shut your mouth?" Kinich retorts.

A small laugh escapes you as you hear Ajaw huff. You always found their bickering so entertaining.

Were you eavesdropping? yes. was it kinda creepy? also yes.

As their voices get farther away, you go back to focus on the scenery in front of you. The sun setting in just the right way, making the sky a beautiful purple. A sight for sore eyes really.

You quickly take put your Kamera to snap a picture of the breathtaking view.

Snap!

You continue to admire the view, losing track of time.

Just as you’re about to look at the picture you took earlier, you hear running footsteps and a familiar bickering duo.

You wait for the footsteps to get closer, and as Kinich steps off the ledge and onto his first grapple swing-

Snap! Snap! Snap!

You smile as you put the Kamera down, swinging your feet over the edge like a child, excited to see the shot.

The sun is going down rather quickly though, and it wouldn’t be the best idea to stay out any longer..

You decide to head back up and go inside before it gets too dark, and so you can examine your newest photos.

As you reach the top deck, you’re bombarded with an obnoxious dragon in your face, screaming at you.

You let out a surprised shriek as you almost swat at it, taking much willpower in you to not.

“The audacity! How dare you, feeble human, take a photo of me, the great K’uhul Ajaw, without his permission?!” It screams.

You let out an awkward laugh, something you always do when you’re nervous.

“Are you some sort of creep?! A stalker maybe!?”

“No- not at all!” You retort.

“I was simply taking a photo of the sky and you just so happen to interrupt it.”

“YOU- YOU..” Ajaw stomps his little feet in protest.

His anger is short lived after he grabbed and tossed aside by that pretty familiar face.

“Leave them alone.” He says with an exhausted sigh.

“So.. about that photo.”

“I promise it wasn’t anything creepy- it was just a really pretty sunset and i wanted to take a photo, then i saw you swing by.. and i thought it would make for a nice photo then-“ You rambled in a panic.

“It’s fine.” He cuts you off.

You can’t tell if he’s mad, his voice sounds so monotone..

“I just want to see the photo. I feel that’s a fair price since it was taken without my permission.”

“..oh.! nono yeah of course-!” You sigh out in relief.

You pull your Kamera back out of your bag and flip to the gallery. You get closer to him, shoulders barely touching, and face the same way he is so you can show him the photos.

He leans down a bit as you show him tho photos. You can’t read his expression at all and it makes you nervous.

“THOSE LOOK LIKE AS-” The dragon, thankfully, couldn’t finish his insult as he was sent flying by Kinich.

“They look nice. He meant to say they look nice.” He says as he looks at you.

You back up to where you were earlier and then you really realize just how beautiful he looks, especially when the sunset is still barely there.

Picture perfect, you’d say.

You caught yourself staring, i mean who wouldn’t?

“Uhm- anyways! Thank you, i’m sorry, and uh- goodnight to you-” You say quickly as you turn your back and walk away with a quick pace. Your face heating up. You were definitely embarrassed after that.
