Moonlight Meeting || Arcelia & Kuan-yu
Makeup was a thing in the theatre, he was realizing the more weeks passed by with him in dress rehearsals for their upcoming performance, especially since they were bringing in a trainee here and there to make sure that things would run smoothly for opening night.

He’d been more amused by their faces at the conclusion when he’d told them he didn’t want to take it off. That had been worth the entire event. Why not wear eyeliner and the faint glittering gold effect across his cheeks until later?
Restless and warmed up from rehearsals and not eager to slip into the dormitory of the theatre, he found his way to the beach, rolling up the legs of his pants once he reached it and leaving his shoes where the path bled into sand. Who was going to take his shoes in this little town? He made his way toward the sea, staring straight at it, and only glanced to his side when he had nearly reached it, and saw...a...a woman with a tail? Sitting right in the rise and fall of the tide?
Kuan-yu stopped immediately, staring, lips parted. Every ounce of his manners told him not to bother whoever it might be, but... “...are you all right?”
