Alys
this night is alive with the smell of insane —
Alys had never been one for socializing, and so it was that when she came across a gate being repaired by a strange man, she very nearly turned tail and walked the other way. It would have been easy to do so. She'd been in the Citadel for quite some time, and she was sure that she could find something else to occupy herself until the repairs were done. But though it would be easy, it would not be convenient, and so she stood for a moment, gazing at the man with a small frown on her face, worrying at her thumbnail with her teeth.
He was a large man - Alys could tell that even with him hunched over at the base of the gate - with dark hair that hung in waves to his broad shoulders. A unicorn accompanied him, which piqued the woman's interest; she'd never seen one before, and it was a beautiful creature. A peryton played on the ramparts above them.
Alys squared her shoulders. This was the way she wanted to go, and surely talking to the stranger wouldn't be so hard. She approached slowly, clearing her throat to announce her presence. "I need to get through here," she said to the man in a way that would likely be considered rude in any other tone of voice. As it were, she attempted a smile and waited for him to - hopefully - move out of the way.

— it's reaching for me and it's calling my name
