ANDEN
CHASING THE SUN
Her presence was comforting. Not at all like that of many in the Hallowed Grounds. She didn't seem to bring an aura of brokenness. Or a feeling of uneasiness. Anden liked that. Dani. It was a soft name. She was close enough now that he could make out her appearance. Gorgeous red hair, freckles. She was so... natural. Almost normal, if normal was even a thing in Caido. He raised his hand from the ground to shake hers. In truth Anden wasn't even sure if the people of Caido shook hands. It's not something he ever spent the time to think about. He didn't really stop to think about much here... His mind was always off, dancing under the Sun with Eloise Marie.
"Sorry." Anden quickly pulled his hand back embarrassed, leaving some of his slime on her hands. "My curse." Anden wiped his hand off on his pants. "One of them." He returned his gaze to the sky above. "I sometimes wonder if the people here have name for the stars. Back home we used to name groupings of stars." He pointed to the sky, where a group of stars loosely shaped a large tree. "I call that one home."
It was nice to open up a little to someone, even it wasn't the best of circumstances. From this distance he could see Dani's heart beat. "If it helps put you at ease, you're not cursed." Maybe he was a little jealous. He still didn't know why The Voice chose to curse him specifically - or why she decided to further his curse by changing him even more.
The real question though, was what would Anden do with her? He couldn't just leave her here. Oliver would never let him hear the end of that. Could he really just bring a complete stranger back to Oliver's manor?
