come real quick & get inside my mind
Vesper watches as the ghostly deer twists in midair, nearly tangling itself in an effort to turn and land at the same time. The sheer absurdity of the movement tugs at the corner of his mouth, amusement flickering in his cool blue gaze. And then, right before his eyes, the creature dissolves—folds in on itself like mist giving way to form—until a woman stands in its place.
He takes his time drinking her in, tilting his head slightly as his gaze sweeps over her, noting the pale hair, the lavender eyes still bright with lingering exhilaration. There’s something almost too delicate about her, too light and ephemeral for the way she smirks at him, for the glint of challenge beneath her words. Harder to kill, huh? His smirk deepens, head shaking slightly as he lets his weight settle more comfortably against the tree. "That so?" His voice is a lazy drawl, all smooth amusement as his sharp gaze flickers over her again. "Gotta admit, don’t look it. But maybe that's the point, mm?"
He watches her for a beat longer before he exhales a quiet chuckle and shifts gears. "But nah, wasn't plannin' on takin' a bite outta you," he muses, his smirk sharpening. "Just figured you weren't your average deer. Not many animals out here glow like a will-o’-wisp, for one. And somethin' about the way you moved... seemed like you were gettin' a feel for a body rather than livin' in it." It’s close to the truth—close enough that it doesn’t feel like a lie. His telepathy had given him the real answer, had picked up the flashes of awareness and thought beneath the playful leaps and boundless motion. But Maea doesn’t need to know that.
