safrin
Safrin's hands are suddenly on The Captain's cheeks, cool and warm all at once, fingers firm as she tilts his face upward without asking permission. Moon-pale skin gleams with a dusting of gold, constellations drifting lazily beneath the surface as though her body were merely a suggestion laid over a living sky. Her thoughts meet his telepathy in a controlled cascade; galaxies folding in on themselves, stars igniting and dying in elegant silence, the immense awareness of a goddess who has known every version of night. She dials it back deliberately, compressing infinity into something his magic can survive, though even tempered it presses against him like standing too close to the heart of a sun.
"Well done, Jack," she purrs, approval rich and unmistakable. The words resonate through more than sound; they settle into him, weighty and intoxicating, threaded with satisfaction. Her thumbs brush lightly beneath his eyes, a fleeting acknowledgment of effort, of endurance, before her attention shifts and her gaze drops to his wrist.
Safrin releases his face only to catch his tattooed arm, fingers circling his wrist as she draws his hand upward—and with it, him—until he’s no longer kneeling so low beneath her scrutiny. She studies the celestial compass inked into his skin with open approval before her fingers sweep across the tattoo, and where she touches, the ink responds. Gold bleeds into the edges of the compass rose, not painted atop it but woven through. The lines glow, subtle but unmistakable, their reach stretching outward, farther, finer, more attuned than before.
