Nikolai
We are only haunted by the things we refuse to accept
-Bridgett Devoue
A sudden flush spreads across Nikolai's face at the compliment. "O...Oh.. Thank you." He'd never considered his voice to be beautiful or soothing, or any sort of thing worthy of admiration. It had always sounded average to him. But perhaps everyone's voice sounds such to themselves. -Bridgett Devoue
Clearing his throat, Nikolai addreses Ophelia's other question. "There are poetry books written by Ascended in the Atheneum. And.. yes. Sometimes." Glancing at the stars, the Ascended sighed. "Poetry is sometimes easier to write then normal sentences. You can just put your thoughts down, no matter how scrambled or incomplete, and turn it into something beautiful." A small smile comes to his lips as he glances at his new family member. "If you're learning, it might be a fun way to practice writing. And a fun way to journal too."
Nikolai was shocked at himself. He was holding a decent, civil conversation with someone he'd just met. Not only that, but he was being kind and offering advice. It was completely beyond his normal comfort zone but Ophelia's easy demeanor set him at ease. Their eagerness to hear and discuss poetry, a topic he was passionate about, only added to it.
