VESPER
Vesper doesn’t flinch—doesn’t even blink. If anything, the corner of his mouth curves a little higher, smug as ever in the face of a spark he didn’t quite mean to ignite but now finds endlessly entertaining. "Why Niki," he murmurs, all easy drawl and glinting teeth, "adorable that you think you take up that much room in my day. If I was practicin’ lines, I’d save the good ones for someone worth rehearsin’ for."
With a lazy flick of his fingers, he brushes a curled leaf off the railing beside him before leaning his elbows back against it. "Nah," he adds, "just finished chattin’ with my ma. Y’know, demigod shit and whatnot." He doesn’t say Safrin, because he doesn’t have to. The weight of it is carried in his tone, in the arrogance that fits him like shadow fits a flame.
Then his eyes—those pale, flickering things—cut toward the telescope.
"How fun for you," he remarks, faintly wistful despite himself. "I've seen ‘em up close. Big as gods, slow as love, glidin’ through the black." He exhales slow through his nose. "You should really try it sometime," he adds, as if a tour amongst the stars is the sort of thing Niki could jsut get in line for, and not the privilege that came from being born in the heavens.
