I don't know what I'm looking for
Sidhe Village at night wears its quiet like a held breath, lanternlight caught in leaves and branches as though the forest itself has learned how to glow without burning. Vesper moves through it without any particular aim, a rarity for him, his pace unhurried and his attention loosely threaded through the press of presences around him rather than fixed on any single path.
He feels the recognition before it ever reaches his eyes, not as a name or a thought, but as a familiar cadence brushing against the edges of his awareness, the echo of a conversation once shared over a bar polished smooth by salt air and careless elbows. Torchline lingers faintly in the memory of it, all heat and noise and honesty disguised as humour. Interesting that it should find him here. Rather than slipping away into shadow, the demigod lets himself drift into a pool of moonlight instead, pale glow catching along silver rings and the quiet line of his jaw as he turns, expression settling into something thoughtfully amused. His gaze lifts as though only just noticing the man approaching, head canting a fraction to one side in an almost theatrical effort to place a face that he very deliberately does not name.
A slow smile curves, restrained and knowing without being unkind, and he raises a hand in a casual, unhurried greeting. "Evening," Vesper says lightly, tone carrying the faintest edge of dry recognition. "Overthinkin' guy, right?"
