electricity shocked the air, lightning almost kissing the atmosphere, and it was all because of him. the energy was almost palpable whenever he came back, whenever word of him seemed to carry on excited tongues. she had prepared herself, her hair pulled back with it’s blue ribbon, kefta sitting on proud shoulders, trailing behind her as she made her way toward his council room. the fabric of her kefta was smoothed down her figure before she stepped inside, the door being held open for her by another grisha, closing it behind her as she went. chin lifted, hands clasped behind her as she stepped in further, the familiar scent of leather and sandalwood hitting her and for a moment she felt at ease, if only for a moment. “ you didn’t come to see me. “ her words echoed through the room, gaze finding his, a look she had waited patiently to see again since the moment he’d left them. “ are you taking some of us with you when you leave again? i should be with you, BY YOUR SIDE. “ brows lifted as she brought her arms around to fold across her chest. others wouldn’t dare speak to him in such a manner, but there was something about their dynamic that she couldn’t put her finger on at times. and then again, there was something about it that she could explain. she was HIS FAVOURITE, she was the one he went to, the one he trusted, and that put her on a different level than any of the other grisha. “ i want to come with you. on the next crossing. “ ━━ ✦ @dsrkling // the darkling.
