“Well, of course— ” the drow replies with a bright, tilted grin, just casually leaning his weight on a nearby wall, eyes focused on the woman’s just enough to still be startled by the sight of his fellow soldiers over her shoulder — laughing and making faces and the occasional suggestive gesture.

Gods, that’s embarrassing.

Verin clears his throat as he straightens up. He keeps the smile, but puts a little distance between him and the tiefling.

“There isn’t much to see here in Bazzoxan, to be fair, but since you... carry the symbol of the Bright Queen,” that was unusual, to say the least, “I will gladly show you around. Would you mind— What was your name again?”

He is lounging. Legs stretched and arms behind his head, green cloak spread beneath his body with the hood shielding his eyes from the afternoon sun. He does, however, turn on his side when she speaks.  “ Are you ? Tell me, then. Tell me about this girl, and all of her uncertainties. I want to help. “

Bright eyes find hers, and they do not look away. “ I mean it, Jester. I want to help. I’ll do whatever I need to. “

“The stars look so pretty tonight.” There’s a soft smile arising on her features as her gaze stays focused on the stars shinning above in the night, careful to reach in her bag and withdraw a small cookie she had been keeping along with a few others. It was one of the new that weren’t quite so stale yet, still somewhere between decently fresh and on the verge of starting to harden. “What about you, Jes? Is that why you’re up?”

   The sunrises on the Nein Heroez were nice.  When sleeps eludes him, Kingsley often finds himself in the crow’s nest until everyone eventually stirs awake.  He’s been able to get away with it so far, claiming that he simply woke up early.  Usually he’s able to collect himself by then.

To his surprise, though, he’s not alone this morning.  Joy -- previously known as Jester -- climbs up to stand by his side to watch the sun slowly ripple across the ocean as it climbs into the sky.  There’s no usual chatter, no response to his lighthearted banter.  In a moment, she’s wrapped her arms around Kingsley.

It’s a split second later that he feels tears drying on his face.  Why?

Kingsley’s shocked look turns into a soft smile, and soon he’s wrapping his arms around Joy.  ( Hugs with her are...less awkward than the others. )

“ Beautiful sunrise, isn’t it? “

   She had a brother.  The image of him seems to sting more now as they’re sitting in a tavern.  Her cup of Lionette wine, legally bought this time, holds all the rich flavors of her home.  Of her past.  Of his indifference.  It’s practically a flavor note now, and now he wants to start over.

At least she knows what her brother looks like.

Jester’s gentle touch on Beauregard’s elbow nearly causes her to jerk it away.  With a deep breath, she sits straighter.  There was no reason for her, an Expositor, to be caught sulking like this.  She’s only here to protect her and hers.  Only here for Nott.

“ The sooner we deal with this witch, the sooner I can start believing that again. “  Her tone is almost as bitter as the aftertaste in her mouth.

Shoulder bumps shoulder, and he sighs. A cruel and unforgiving world, and he wishes she were blind to it. “ I know, my dear. I know. They do not deserve it. We do not deserve it. The world would be a better place without it. “ He twists to face her, reaching to grab a hand and give it a comforting squeeze. 

“ But that is why we are here. Through our hands comes joy. The darkness will not vanish, but we can weaken it. “ He huffs out a laugh and shifts. “ I’m afraid these serious talks are not my specialty, and I am a firm believer that actions speak louder than words. So, should we spread a bit of joy ? “
