“Ah.” The sight is familiar, if only by dint of a troubled description shared over wine, one late night. Not terribly long ago--distant like a dream would be, and close like a breath overside his nape all at once. There is no mistaking that quaking inside that clenches at his nerves, familiar in no small part to the way Aramis had elaborated (while Mekhi only wondered, almost with envy.) The sight of this grand design now is closer than he ever imagined it would be. There is no understanding what it is that shakes his bones at the sight of these strange, divine things, no matter how many he has seen and touched, in dreams or in would-be deaths. He feels. That is the closest thing to understanding that he has.
“He spoke of something like you. But he could speak for days and not translate a drop of what it truly was, to see. I’m sure he has even more questions for you than he ever had of me.” And Mekhi can sympathise, with the way his chest all but burns in this unexpected company. The wind lifts the tails of his coat, but much else about him besides his blinking eyes is perfectly, unnaturally still. “He never mentioned a name. Is that a thing you care to give out to wide eyed wanderers very often?”
