❛ stories tell a truth, if not precisely the truth. ❜

moonlight - kissed features soften ; a smile that makes the stars fade appears, and a loving and gentle hand reaches for the other kanmei's cheek ; blessed touch of lithe fingers caresses with love and care, affection and devotion only aphelios knew prior.
❝ so wise... ❞ sweet voice of a heart melted, & twin spirit of night is quick to find herself within the embrace of the other, and as horned head rests upon its chest, it feels like the weight of the spirit realm is lifted off alune's shoulders. it's a relief — to be known and loved despite all, despite little lies and deception, mischief and devilment laying beneath a stoic and calm front. to be known, to be seen, to be loved despite and because of all.
❝ truth is, the fireflies simply slipped from my grasp, ❞ alune speaks, smile brightening as shining eyes seek astraia's, a hint of playfulness sparkling within. ❝ will you help me collect them, put them back on their rightful place on the canvas of the night sky? ❞
