[DROP] No time like the present

She had planned on remaining near the back, listening to the others that knew each other a bit more intimately to see what it was all about – though there was little information to go off of. It seemed nobody really knew what this was about, and Rexanna certainly was clueless. However, as she continued to look at the box, she didn’t notice as Alistair moved from where he was and walked toward her. Her sapphire gaze slipped from the box in the creature’s hands to Alistair, offering a charming smile his way. “It seems almost ominous, to be honest.” She offered in response to his suggestion of something fantastic being in the box, and moved to stand by her side. Her head shifted with him to watch as he continued to speak, sparking a bright laugh to leave her chest. “Could you imagine?” She nearly whispered, grinning to him before dipping her head in a greeting. “Hello Alistair.” Her voice was soft but happy all the same as her gaze left him to the creature. She was about to say more before the creature moved and began to speak. It was an interesting creature, and rather than being frightened by it Rexanna was intrigued. How could it move like that, so thin and nearly made of nothing? She supposed anything was possible after her encounter with Remi and Frey, yet she was still uncertain. As the creature stopped speaking and others began to pipe up their single words, Rexanna’s gaze never left the creature. Did it want a nice sounding word, or something that the creature themselves pleased? She wasn’t sure, but she picked the one thing she knew she adored most in the world. The color gold. But it often went by a more beautiful name back home, and so with that in mind, her lips parted and she smiled to the creature. “Aurelian.” She said with a pleased smile, almost having forgotten that others were there. She tore her eyes from the creature and looked back to Alistair with a small shrug and crooked smile. time stops still and lends you hope that hazy due, so black so blue wash away that fear, a cloud of smoke whatever lets you cope
