❛ i’ve walked the earth and there are so few here that know how dark the night and just how cold the wind can blow. ❜

❛ i’ve no more kept my warmth than blood upon the snow. ❜

❛ it’s not my arms that will fail me, but this world takes more strength than it gave me. ❜

❛ the only heaven i’ll be sent to is when i’m alone with you. ❜

❛ i’ll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies. ❜

❛ i’ll tell you my sins so you can sharpen your knife. ❜

❛ good god, let me give you my life. ❜

❛ so tired trying to see from behind the red in my eyes. ❜

❛ every version of me dead and buried in the yard outside. ❜

❛ you knew who i was with every step that i ran to you. ❜

❛ would things be easier if there was a right way? ❜

❛ honey, there is no right way. ❜

❛ i fall in love just a little, a little bit every day with someone new. ❜

❛ when you kill the lights and kiss my eyes, i feel like a person for a moment of my life. ❜

❛ you don’t know what hell you put me through. ❜

❛ there’s something tragic about you. ❜

❛ i have never known peace like the damp grass that yields to me. ❜

❛ i have never known hunger like these insects that feast on me. ❜

❛ i’d be home with you. ❜

❛ there’s nothing sweeter than my baby. ❜

❛ no grave can hold my body down, i’ll crawl home to her. ❜

❛ what did you bury before those hands pulled me from the earth? ❜

❛ i will not ask where you came from. i will not ask and neither should you. ❜

❛ just put your sweet lips on my lips. we should just kiss like real people do. ❜

❛ i know who i am when i’m alone. i’m something else when i see you. ❜

❛ you don’t understand, you should never know, how easy you are to need. ❜

❛ don’t let me in with no intention to keep me. ❜

❛ don’t feed me — i will come back. ❜

❛ i’ve known the warmth of your doorways. through the cold, i’ll find my way back to you. ❜

❛ still my heart is heavy with the hate of some other man’s beliefs. ❜

❛ i need you to run to me, run until you feel your lungs bleeding. ❜

❛ when i was a child, i heard voices… some would sing and some would scream. ❜

❛ i learned the voices died with me. ❜

❛ don’t you ever tame your demons, but always keep ‘em on a leash. ❜

❛ you’ve done me wrong for a long time. but after all you’ve done, i never changed my mind. ❜

❛ honey please, try to love me. my love will never die. ❜

❛ nothing fucks with my baby. ❜

❛ if i was born as a black thorn tree, i’d wanna be felled by you, held by you, fuel the pyre of your enemies. ❜

❛ ain’t it warming you, the world going up in flames? ❜

❛ i couldn’t utter my love when it counted, but i’m singing like a bird about it now.❜

❛ i’m almost me again, she’s almost you. ❜

❛ i’ve had no love like your love. from nobody. ❜

❛ make your good love known to me, or just tell me about your day. ❜

❛ i’d suffer hell if you’d tell me what you’d do to me tonight. ❜

❛ that’s the kinda love i’ve been dreaming of. ❜

❛ i fell in love with the fire long ago. ❜

❛ with each love i cut loose, i was never the same. ❜

❛ i had been lost to you, sunlight, and flew like a moth to you. ❜

❛ know that i would gladly be the icarus to your certainty, oh my sunlight. ❜

❛ i have never loved a darker blue than the darkness i have known in you. ❜

He takes one step, and she takes two; a light, slow tread like the beginning a dance. One approaching another. And the lull of heartbeat falls into rhythm with her steps for a split second.

"It sounds like we do. ¡Muy bien!" Very good, indeed. Her grin is unwavering. If anything it's only grown. So much so, it results in a crinkle to the corners of her eyes. If she were a more vain person, she might worry of the lines that would be a later result of her habit of wearing her emotions, jubilance and excitement mainly, so freely. This is not such a serious situation that requires masking or personas. No, quite the opposite. She wants him to know her interest beyond the dash of coyness here and there. "I look forward to it, honestly."

After an ecstatic clap, Daisy holds out a hand to him. The intention to shake on it. "Anytime, any place. My attention is yours."

𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐄 𝐈𝐓 𝐆𝐎𝐄𝐒 — 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐅𝐋𝐀𝐌𝐄 𝐎𝐅 𝐇𝐈𝐒 𝐎𝐖𝐍 𝐌𝐀𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆 blows in her own wind as though its foundations were anything less than concrete. he fumbles. shaken. beaten at his own game — only time has changed the rules and left him all but wondering.

she is close enough to touch. close enough that the great poets of his time might have drawn some connection to the EARTH. and yet it is so far away. they are in the heavens. the FADE. froth of the waves and a pin in the map of this world — he is everything and nothing and some sore in-between. he exists in colors less painted by the arts and yet all the more viable in his chest. he could drink them. would — even if they all should melt into some neutral brown in the base of his throat. she makes him into some man of longing.

❝ if that is true , then your attention is in good hands. ❞ he meets her extra step. takes her hand in his. flips it to have their palms pressed against one another. ❝ you are an unending mystery , my dear. ❞ emmrich's head tilts forward , slightly— ever a gentleman and ever conscious of his own self. ❝ i should selfishly wish to unveil your own secrets. ❞

"That's fair." comes the reply without an ounce of hesitation. Quite frankly, it's not surprising. Expected, really. It's not the first time the reputation of her chosen line of work has colored conceptions of her own character. It doesn't bother her...usually. And there is no discernible malice in his speech so there is no cause for offense. "I appreciate that. What's the phrase? Can't judge a book by it's cover? Although I do understand the reservations people have about my character. And letting me near a kitchen besides the fact I'm a horrible cook."

Ah, and there is her signature addition of humor.

A glint catches her attention as she's tucking a bit of hair back away from her face. In a fashion similar to that of an actual crow, eyes are quick to flicker to whatever shiny object gleams in the light. Gold adorns from wrist almost to elbow and downwards on just about every finger. At his hands she stares just a moment too long before she directs it elsewhere.

"I'm not opposed to indulging curiosity, you know. If you ever have any questions, feel free to ask. Especially if it'll clear up misconceptions." Naturally some bodies are better left buried in the garden. Oh now that's in poor taste; thankfully it doesn't leave her tongue. "Likewise, I'm always open to learning more about the Necropolis and Mourn Watch. And you."

and she sings more of life than he's ever seen — at least of late. and whether she wishes to or not. red of her hair casts some song of heat within his throat. were his bones not to ache , he might think himself young again when he hears her own words : and you.

❝ then it is settled , my dear , ❞ he starts , infinitely interested in her. tactfulness never leaves him , though. ❝ you teach me ... ❞ a step forward. roses splayed against his own chest. heat rises in his throat : something new. shadows of the old world and rising like the morning. ❝ and i teach you. ❞

❝   i appreciate it all the same , rook ,   ❞   the words spill from his mouth like ribbons. velvet and smooth. flowering. how he admires his acquaintance so.   ❝  your strength is a marvel , even to my many years.   ❞   a hand folds over his other. it's complicated , everything he feels. nothing like a secret , and yet still persisting under an unwavering blanket.

"Ah, it's no big deal." The corners of her lips quirk up in the hint of a smile. A hand is waved in light dismissal; the praise, while nice is unwarranted in her book. "Just doing what seems right." Though she's hardly what could be considered a pillar of morality. "But thank you."

The irony of the juxtaposition of their career paths is not lost on her. No, if anything she finds the contrast intriguing if not a tad amusing. "To be honest, working with the dead in the capacity I have recently was certainly not something I would have ever foreseen. I don't mind at all though." Rook let's out a gentle chuckle --- light and melodious like a wind chime on a summer's breeze.

Through a curtain of lashes, rose gold gaze rests on his face drinking in each detail and reaction. "I take it then, you had expected the opposite from me? Is it because I am a crow? Or because the living usually have such a disregard for the dead?" Even with such a pointed question Rook's voice remains upbeat, warm. It's a genuine question --- one that makes her head tilt just a fraction.

❝ it is your occupation , my dear , that warrants such preconceptions. ❞ the term of endearment is too heavy on his own tongue. less lacey and light in delivery and emmrich feels as though he has extended , perhaps , too far beyond himself. the years wear him well , and yet wear him all the same. a purveyor of beauty , he ever stands - and the length of her lashes and the slight upward curve of her nose bridge bring to him some sort of indifference. a quelling of longing ( for what? art or something to fill such a singular sized hole? or just something you fancy? you have been missing it. )

❝ and yet i have never been a man subject to such base judgements. ❞ lips , a faint cherry red , curve into a smile. ❝ the heart tells all. ❞ eyes fall to the height of her chest and then rise back to meet her own.

emmrich has brought up the matter - not to reprimand his new leader , but to set boundaries. to put in place understanding. he would fall into line , of course. but before he would walk on even ground with rook.

" i appreciate your openness , rook. " he folds his hands before him. the words are said in earnest. emmrich finds himself folding into the safest corners of himself. words formed of his own being flow despite it all. " not everyone takes a moment to consider the dead. " eyelids hang low , gaze sweeping over her face and onto her eyes. suddenly he feels at a loss for where to look. " you have more than shown yourself to be an ally to the living and the dearly departed. i admire that about you. "

Mon tube de l’été 2017, une tuerie qui vous dézingue le moral en deux secondes, qui plombe l’ambiance, qui fait pousser les toiles d’araignées là ou tous voudraient du fun, du sable, de l’éternel, on va te rappeler que la vie est courte, et qu’un jour 2017 sera une date antédiluvienne, rien de moins, rien de plus, l’humilité s’invite toujours quand l’époque tend à la prétention.

he sits along a crumbling , stone wall of docktown. right hand moves to put pressure where the man had only just placed cloth. not a healer , but by some intricate web of connections....any ally? the enemy of my enemy is my friend. the words ring throughout his head. and he supposes there are worse outcomes to endure.

" your assistance is appreciated. " words are polite enough. with the blood now stopping under the pressure of his own fingers , he manages a moment to inspect his savior. a shadow dragon , by the details of his armor. ah — so a true ally it would seem. " the sooner we rid the world of these ' venatori ' the better , " he adds , putting on a stalwart face.
