you were in the fallout and you lost some friends //
The boyish smile shifts to something of on edge as Varus appears to jump out of his skin, splashing again in the puddle as he grabs the bag along his shoulder and his head snaps to Remi. “Oh for fucks sake.” He curses, thankful to not have his unbeating heart lodged in his throat. “Warn a guy next time.” Hopefully, there wouldn’t be a next time… But if there were.
Anyway, Varus remains standing in the puddle as Remi speaks of the book, the tale spun in a way that does have Varus carefully pulling himself out of the puddle and appraising this stranger anew, a playful smile forming on his face. “Maybe the boy became a king in an underwater palace?” Varus suggests, innocent at first before it grows quite a bit darker. “Or maybe he drowned.” Shoulders rise and fall in a shrug, the moon glinting off the water that drips from his metal arm. “Wanna take it for a spin?” He gestures to the puddle with a slowly growing shit-eating grin. "It appears safe."
