high hopes

A chimed laugh escaped her lips at the picture he painted in her mind. “He has a kind soul – and we were both a bit lonely.” She purred to him with an easy smile. Alistair was handsome, yes, but she hadn’t been captivated by the man. In fact, she hadn’t found too many here that had captured her attention. Each one had been beautiful and striking in their own right and how could one really be worth more than the other when they were all so similar in their unique appearances? She eyed Bastien as he thought of who to stay away from, her eyes bright and the peak of true intent of listening to whatever advice the man had chosen to give her. As he began to speak, she nodded along with him. “I already tried to seduce Remi before I realized his preferences.” She offered with another quiet chime of a laugh – though the memory was hazed in darkness and sadness, of bindings and gags that had a chill run up her spine. But he continued to speak of something of a vampire which she wasn’t entirely sure what it meant before he elaborated. She wanted to rub the side of her neck that Archebold had bitten, but she refrained for the sake of art, flashing a quiet smirk to Bastien. “Perhaps I should have come to you for this advice sooner.” She almost muttered with a quiet laugh. “I was bitten before, and let me tell you it was the best feeling I’ve ever experienced.” She hummed. “Though the neck is quite a bit sore after.” A quick little addition before chuckling at her words. But she had to agree, despite the feeling being addicting, she’d rather not die that way. Soon enough, he turned the canvas toward her and she finally moved to peer at it with a bright charming smile. After she inspected it a decent amount, she found her sapphire gaze flicking up toward Bastien with a very pleased grin. “These are stunning Bastien.” Her voice was a light but awed purr. “You already know my good sides.” She added with a swift wink in his direction. RexannA you are a church of broken glass and hallelujahs you are haunted like every holy thing.
