Alys
LongNight had not been Alys's favorite time of year for quite some time. She preferred to stay home with her partner, staying as safe as they could reasonably expect to be with all light leeched from the world. But when she heard that King's End was throwing a party, well, she had to admit to some sense of curiosity. Besides, she hadn't interacted with her own region in so long that she was starting to feel like a bit of an outsider. She hadn't managed to talk Tal into coming, but she'd promised to stay safe in her exploits, and so he hadn't protested very heartily when she'd suggested she might swing by for a look at the festivities.
So here she was, wandering the stalls, bundled in her warmest coat to ward off the endless chill. Sascha, in her element, plodded along beside her bonded, snuffling at this and that in the snow as they followed the glow of the bonfires into the heart of the party.
It didn't take long to spot Sunjata, sitting by the largest fire and cast in a pretty pink light as merry partygoers celebrated around him. Still, despite being surrounded by people, he seemed alone - a sense that Alys felt further as she moved closer to the Heartless. In truth, she wasn't sure how her appearance would be perceived, when she had been so absent in recent seasons, but she knew, too, that Sunjata wouldn't begrudge her the time with her family after they'd all been through so much.
So she approached with a small, but no less genuine, smile on her face, sliding onto a seat beside the Archon. "Hi, Sunjata," she said, calm and pleasant as ever. "I'm glad to see you. How are you doing?"
