SUNJATA
the flood
holding back the flood,
in this skyscraper town
He can’t help but to wince as Darkeye explains further. If he’s being honest, he was simply trying to make it seem better than it was. But the other man has come to terms with what he’d done – able to talk about it now despite the tears in his eyes, tears of which Sunjata doesn’t comment on. He simply hums his agreement – forever a believer in second chances and proving ones self.
After all, he’d had to do it most of his life anyway.
“It’s a shame my father didn’t quite get that end in Korofi.” His nose wrinkles, but he shrugs a shoulder and tries to seem like it doesn’t bother him as much as it does. “I tossed us both into the ocean from the cliffs of Aumakua.” And he’d tried to fly out of it, to drop his father and soar back into the sky, only to go tumbling down alongside him. Only to wash up in Rae’s Fingers a while later – thankful that Vai had been there to heal him enough to mostly function after.
Still, hearing that Darkeye was glad that he’d lived through it and was still here was unexpected but kind, something that brings a softer edged smile to his face, a nod of his head as a quiet thanks because he’s never really heard that before. In obligation, perhaps, but not so open. It was a rare occasion and Sunjata’s nothing if not terrible at receiving kind things.
“Sunjata is fine. Prince is too snobbish if you ask me.” To this he rumbles a deeper laugh, a wink shot in Darkeye’s direction as he gathers his things once he’s finished helping Darkeye with the last little bit that he needed help with. “I’m glad I could help. You know where I am if you need anything else.” He dips his chin toward the shorter man, takes another moment to wipe away the sweat pooled at his neck and chest, before deciding that a hot shower back home was priority.

you gave all that sweat and blood,
now you think you're gonna drown
Feel free to use magic/force on Sunjata, without killing him <3
Sunjata speaks with an Australian accent and has a passive magic that makes him produce a subtle scent that matches exactly to whatever those around him most desire him to smell like.
