❝ Politics are something best avoided. I prefer more personal confrontations, myself. ❞ | @szarkais·

          𝕬 relatable statement, to be sure, that COMES FROM THE LIPS OF A COMPLETE STRANGER ; one with eerily familiar features && striking, vibrant eyes of an almost 𝖌𝖍𝖔𝖘𝖙𝖑𝖞 shade of blue. Perhaps he is mistaken, but, after giving the stranger a long, 𝖈𝖔𝖓𝖘𝖎𝖉𝖊𝖗𝖆𝖙𝖊 look, Valas is SURE THAT THIS MAN IS A DROW. Regardless of his pale complexion, there’s something in the structure of his face — a strong angular jawline, thin lips, && AN ALMOST SCRUTINIZING GAZE — that tips Valas off very quickly.

          ❝ 𝖄ou are szarkai, ❞ Valas replies, skimming over the stranger’s initial statement. His curiosity, it would seem, HAS GOTTEN THE BETTER OF HIM, && he has abandoned his 𝖒𝖆𝖓𝖓𝖊𝖗𝖘 in this moment in pursuit of an answer. 

A perceptive one , isn’t he ?  comes sylas’ inner thoughts whilst observing the very visible drow before him .  its almost strange to not be attacked on sight however the vampire found this absolutely thrilling and would continue to press his luck even if it meant this becoming a possibly dangerous situation .  

❝   now , this is quite peculiar.   ❞  comes the charming vocals of the taller man , complexion tilts itself to the side before a small smirk began to grow - fangs becoming a little visible albeit nothing TOO strange yet . ❝   I am , you’re quite perceptive.  I believe you’re the first in a very long time to acknowledge what I am .  ❞

arms crossed along broad chest , black cloak held wisps of shadow almost as if it had been alive itself - the szarkai is clad in nothing but the blackest shade which contrasted nicely to unnaturally pale features . glowing azure relax despite the visible sharp gaze , Sylas didn’t find himself in any danger . ❝  there aren’t many of us around , what tipped me off  ?  ❞

          “ … ” He’s got nothing to say after the last comment. the expression goes from pointedly annoyed to a lot of… staring. thank the gods there’s an actual mask here to save face - both metaphorically and physically.

     “ shut up. just… shut up. stop. talking. ”

           There’s a very VISIBLE smirk along handsome facial features , Sylas T’sarren had very clearly won this little squabble between them & would continue to beam .  unintentionally had he have been showing off those large fangs of his , playful air grew between the duo .  Was Ctaos going to hide behind that mask his entire life  ?   ( most likely , yes . Sylas thinks . )   

               ❝ if I did that , where would the fun be darling Ctaos ? ❞  

[szarkais]

ophiopagy·     STINKY CTAOS.

The very non-pictured smile fades almost immediately. “ i highly doubt you have a sense of smell keen enough to know. your humor is as bland as your tastes. ”

        a VERY large smile grows , sharp fangs peaking through the males tiers as he found COMPLETE humor in this situation --- especially as Ctaos appeared to drop the little fun he had poking around once it was returned.    

❛  i’m a vampire my dear warlock , my prey can be over a few miles away and I can feel , taste & hear their blood flowing through veins.  Ctaos , don’t insult yourself like that - you very well know you are my taste .   ❜

          “ So if–let’s just say hypothetically–you are indeed allergic to water, does that mean i get to spray you with a water bottle when you’re annoying me? ”

@szarkais·

                ❛  So , if you get to spray me when i’m supposedly annoying you , does that mean I can spray you when you’re smelly .  ❜

Dont mind him , hes purposely in his vampire form --- that is the spirit of halloween is it not ? unnaturally long black claws pluck at a piece of chocolate only to pop it in his mouth revealing abnormally large fangs .   he really hasn’t had chocolate before . . . . and he cant make it out if he likes it or not.

PERCHANCE HE IS OFFERED CLARITY.   a small,  almost bedazzled bauble set inside his hands,  half - scalding his already tender flesh.  instinct relies on action but ofttimes action never blooms,  never willed into being  (  beneath nightshade and the howling stars above,  one is offered little else but silence,  silence and stones  ).   alas,   astarion was good at lying.  good at  presenting a false poise,  a false face and even falser words.  skill honed in by many a year though while time drew away,  what really sharpened his skills was the only true drive :  survival.    

❝  alas,  we can never quite tame our own curiosity for too long.  ❞   the pleasant roll of his words skims the palpable atmosphere laid between them.  sure enough space is given,  yet even then he takes precautionary steps.  it was not a meeting of folk,  it was a meeting of two apex predators  though they may try to pretend a little while longer.  ❝  i suppose some habits never really die after all. ❞  

❝     if curiosity is tamed ,  that leaves no room for....  innovation.    ❞   comes the deep voice of the vampire , the shadowy cloak he wore melding almost too perfectly within the shadows he resided in  .  perhaps  he should have kept to himself but alas , the rogue is far too unintentionally social when it comes to the right people & this ivory haired man falls into that category .   he was hardly one for small talk or fancy talk , yet , amusement grows along handsomely sharp features only to let out a throaty chuckle .  ❝   you’re the first of around my own kind to not try to kill me yet . its been about hmm --- two minutes and counting ?     ❞

the arcane trickster replies in a nonchalant voice , almost like he had been looking down at wrist to check a watch yet none of that was present ; instead gloved hands that had the faint outline of claws residing beneath is shown.   It was a good night , though , he has learned to be OF the humans ; sleep at night , wake by day -- his ring aids him in such , a ring of sunlight resistance is surely legendary around these parts & he happened to be the owner of one . ❝  don’t mind my intrusion , though , I’m simply passing by & you’ve caught my attention .  it’s not often I see other things going bump in the night .  ❞

Sylas is officially level 17 ! I’ve been in a campaign with him for almost 2 years and we’re nearing the end of it , its been emotional , very characterizing and splendid. 

so for that , im going to put a bunch of random facts and funny tidbits about him .

Sylas has yet to be dangerously low in a fight , almost every single fight hes been near spotless and not missing any health.  the only health he ever misses is when he casts LIFE TRANSFERENCE to heal an ally . 

he has yet to have any type of blood from a humanoid , he has grown adapted to feasting on the blood of animals . 

while sylas is a vampire , he did not partake in humanoid blood which doesnt make him a full fledged vampire -- he has to channel his vampirisim and forcefully bring it under his control to use it.  

Sylas can turn into a bat or wolf , he can create spawns that are under his control , he can walk up walls , he can also call upon fellow children of the night to heed him in battle ( bats & wolves ).  

Sylas owns a moonblade , which acts as a vorpal sword . He was recently knighted the highest point on the elven queens guard , he serves underneath her oath . 

Sylas has a mount called Skoll , hes a large 12.ft tall wolf -- only 2 of his kind exist and his queen owns the other mount which is Skolls sister . 

Sylas has 2 levels in wizard .

TENSION BUILTS UPON AN UNSEEN PRECIPICE,  for when the air is thick and the marble stone is scratched one cannot help but wonder what awaits in the midnight air.  blanched,  hoary,  partly shivering.  heartbeats are an echo away and though he can hear them with an utmost clarity he refrains,  he waits.  the crush of night deepens until only purple,  bruised together beside blue remains.  no light lingers,  only shadows.   ❝  well,  well  …  ❞  he reveals his hand through murmurings,  almost,  gentle whispers —  but he is wise enough to realise there is no greater threat than one of his own kind.  ❝    …  i see this evening is not my own. ❞

it rarely is. 

♱   @szarkais·, 

not a single breath is taken while the arcane trickster waits with utmost patience , the vampire had known this game for so long and to see another albino - presumably - with vivid red eyes almost like himself created a static of CURIOSITY .  The only different between them had been that unnaturally , glowing cyan eyes peer into the others own  .  when was the night ever one’s own ?  smile curves along strong jaw as fangs become visible within seconds .  “  when is it ever  ?  “  comes his cool deep tone of voice albeit the pale figure is quite relaxed despite the possible threat of another vampire being around .  “  hunting tonight , or perhaps -- that’s quite none of my business .  “  the vampire himself had mastered halting his blood . . . however , he did not consume a single humans blood and had lived off of animals blood - that was due to a threat from a VERY scary dragon  & sylas was in NO position to argue with a DRAGON.
