wound relentlessly

KIADA i wish that i could say, i am a light that never goes out. His brow raises, his gruff voice calling out in the cold brisk breeze of spring and she nods in response. “Yes. He hasn’t grown in his antlers yet, he’s still very young.” She offers as she looks to Auni with a small solemn smile. His name a perfect rendition of what he became – her help, her light in the darkness of her thoughts and the terrible things she had endured during Longnight. If it wasn’t for him and Seiji, she wasn’t sure where she would be at now, but she knew it wouldn’t have been good. As he speaks again, she listens, her head tilting curiously. “What kind of magic did you have before?” She asks him, intrigued to know what the man might have had before. He struck her as someone that could wield something dark and monstrous, someone with a powerful background of sorts, or the will and aspiration to be one someday. She finds an odd comfort with him, now that she knows he’s not going to shoot her or her companion, and realizes that for once she’s actually quite curious. And as she introduces herself and Auni, his name rolls off his tongue and her eyes narrow slightly in confusion and almost pained as it strikes a chord deep within her. Her Deimos had been a wonderful ruler, had awarded her for recruiting the most people for their home, and she had found comfort in his consistent ruling. But despite the strangeness of finding Ru’in here, she had a hard time believing this man was the one she’d known before. “I knew a Deimos once.” She says softly, head tilting avian-like as she surveys him once more. “He was a good man, a great leader.” She adds with a quiet smile, wondering if perhaps he might have any comment on the factor. At least it’d be easy to remember his name. but i flicker from time to time.
