I'm just a cherub riding comets through the night sky
The constellation of words begins to form beside Zen’s head, and Vesper’s eyes follow them—not because he needs to read them, but because it’s too odd not to. His brow arches slowly, the first flicker of surprise giving way to something drier, more guarded. A constellation introduction? Stars instead of speech? He folds his arms across his chest, weight shifting to one hip. "Fuck is that?" he asks flatly, "You born without a tongue?" His tone isn’t unkind, but there’s a bite to it—dry, sharp-edged, the way his humour often masks suspicion. It isn’t the light teasing he uses with his siblings. Not yet.
Still, he gives a short nod after a beat. "Yeah. I’m Vesper." His eyes narrow slightly, gaze raking over Zen in a slow, deliberate sweep. "So you’re the new Seren, huh." Not a question. Not quite judgment, either—but there’s something faintly assessing in his voice, like he’s still deciding what he thinks about that.
"You get dropped out of the stars same as the rest of us, or did she hatch you special?"
