He’s running late – he knows that. He shouldn’t have left, but the bag at his hip is something that he covets as he departs from the Maurader with a quick wave to Thal – still acting as though everything is perfectly fine, before he’s moving through the crowd with a surprising amount of purpose, trying to reach the ship heading to the Grounds that looks as though it’s getting ready to depart.
Scanning the crowd, he tries to spot the flicker of diamond horns in the warm sunlight, but it isn’t until he reaches the dock that leads to the skyship that the butcher finally spots Danta and relaxes a touch in relief. Unfortunately, he’s a mess – with a cut on his arm through his shirt that’s soaked up most of the blood, a bit of bulk in his pocket, and his slate pants that had otherwise been perfectly pristine, singed up his calves and hanging on by mere threads.
But gods if he isn’t relieved to see him, rushing in immediately to snag his lover into a brief hug before corralling them onto the ship. “Apologies for being late, darling.” He’ll explain on the way.
