β iβve walked the earth and there are so few here that know how dark the night and just how cold the wind can blow. β
β iβve no more kept my warmth than blood upon the snow. β
β itβs not my arms that will fail me, but this world takes more strength than it gave me. β
β the only heaven iβll be sent to is when iβm alone with you. β
β iβll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies. β
β iβll tell you my sins so you can sharpen your knife. β
β good god, let me give you my life. β
β so tired trying to see from behind the red in my eyes. β
β every version of me dead and buried in the yard outside. β
β you knew who i was with every step that i ran to you. β
β would things be easier if there was a right way? β
β honey, there is no right way. β
β i fall in love just a little, a little bit every day with someone new. β
β when you kill the lights and kiss my eyes, i feel like a person for a moment of my life. β
β you donβt know what hell you put me through. β
β thereβs something tragic about you. β
β i have never known peace like the damp grass that yields to me. β
β i have never known hunger like these insects that feast on me. β
β iβd be home with you. β
β thereβs nothing sweeter than my baby. β
β no grave can hold my body down, iβll crawl home to her. β
β what did you bury before those hands pulled me from the earth? β
β i will not ask where you came from. i will not ask and neither should you. β
β just put your sweet lips on my lips. we should just kiss like real people do. β
β i know who i am when iβm alone. iβm something else when i see you. β
β you donβt understand, you should never know, how easy you are to need. β
β donβt let me in with no intention to keep me. β
β donβt feed me β i will come back. β
β iβve known the warmth of your doorways. through the cold, iβll find my way back to you. β
β still my heart is heavy with the hate of some other manβs beliefs. β
β i need you to run to me, run until you feel your lungs bleeding. β
β when i was a child, i heard voicesβ¦ some would sing and some would scream. β
β i learned the voices died with me. β
β donβt you ever tame your demons, but always keepΒ βem on a leash. β
β youβve done me wrong for a long time. but after all youβve done, i never changed my mind. β
β honey please, try to love me. my love will never die. β
β nothing fucks with my baby. β
β if i was born as a black thorn tree, iβd wanna be felled by you, held by you, fuel the pyre of your enemies. β
β ainβt it warming you, the world going up in flames? β
β i couldnβt utter my love when it counted, but iβm singing like a bird about it now.β
β iβm almost me again, sheβs almost you. β
β iβve had no love like your love. from nobody. β
β make your good love known to me, or just tell me about your day. β
β iβd suffer hell if youβd tell me what youβd do to me tonight. β
β thatβs the kinda love iβve been dreaming of. β
β i fell in love with the fire long ago. β
β with each love i cut loose, i was never the same. β
β i had been lost to you, sunlight, and flew like a moth to you. β
β know that i would gladly be the icarus to your certainty, oh my sunlight. β
β i have never loved a darker blue than the darkness i have known in you. β
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. Β‘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."
πππ πππππ ππ ππππ β πππ π ππππ ππ πππ πππ ππππππ blows in her own wind as though its foundations were anything less than concrete. he fumbles. shaken. beaten at his own game β 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 β 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 β even if they all should melt into some neutral brown in the base of his throat. she makes him into some man of longing.
β if that is true , then your attention is in good hands. β he meets her extra step. takes her hand in his. flips it to have their palms pressed against one another. β you are an unending mystery , my dear. β emmrich's head tilts forward , slightlyβ ever a gentleman and ever conscious of his own self. β i should selfishly wish to unveil your own secrets. β

"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."
πππ ππππππππππ : ππππ ππ ππππ πππππ πππππ. they are alike , and yet different. a thread flows through them and yet some nuance sets them apart. mortality is , after all , such a concept.
and she sings more of life than he's ever seen β 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.
β then it is settled , my dear , β he starts , infinitely interested in her. tactfulness never leaves him , though. β you teach me ... β 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. β and i teach you. β

"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.

β it is your occupation , my dear , that warrants such preconceptions. β 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. )
β and yet i have never been a man subject to such base judgements. β lips , a faint cherry red , curve into a smile. β the heart tells all. β 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. "

β oh great, it's you again. β
β you? kill me? that's funny. β
β for being someone you hate, i'm sure on your mind a lot. β
β you're the last person i wanted to see, actually. β
β do us both a favor. stay away from me. β
β you really are an asshole, you know that? β
β i'm the asshole? what does that make you then? β
β sometimes i think you must hate me. β
β i thought you said you never wanted to see me again. β
β if you want me to go, then you have to tell me to leave. β
β well, someone's cranky today. β
β well, someone needs to shut the fuck up. β
β just stay out of my way. β
β of all the idiots in the world, i'm stuck with you. β
β what is it you want this time? β
β sometimes i wonder if you're in love with me. β
β do you honestly think this is easy for me? β
β why would i ever want to be friends with you? β
β can we please just talk? β
β there is nothing for us to talk about. β
β you can yell at me later. just let me help you. β
β touch me, and you're dead. β
β oh, so now you care? β
β there is something deeply wrong with you. β
β i know i'm the last person you probably want to see, but... β
β you don't think we could be friends, do you? β
β i'm tired of fighting against you. β
β don't pretend you give a shit about me. β
β you're an idiot, but... i trust you. β
β oh, don't be cute. β
β wait, did you just say that i'm cute? β
β we're not good for each other. β
β if i say yes, will you shut up? β
β don't you have to be stupid somewhere else? β
β maybe we should kiss just to break the tension. β
β i'm sorry i can't turn off my feelings as easily as you. β
β maybe there's a universe out there where we're friends. β
β how can you be so smart yet so dumb at the same time? β
β don't think this changes anything between us. β
β you look ridiculous in that outfit, by the way. β
β if you die, i'll kill you. β
β is that a challenge? β
β ah, so you're not heartless after all. β
β i don't think i've ever seen you smile. β
β you never cared about me, so why now? β
β why didn't you kill me when you had the chance? β
β i don't even remember why we started fighting. β
β i don't have time for distractions right now. β
β you're not as bad as everyone says you are. β
β enemies make the best lovers, you know. β
@theredconqueror : " put this over it to stop the bleeding . "
π πππππ ππππ ππ πππππ and sundered from his youth : emmrich buckles beneath an injury that might once have been but something to shake off. the venatori have , in their arsenal , a handful of strong mages. some of which begin to rival even his own prowess. and such conflict leaves his left arm in sorry shreds. blood clotting too slowly and he begins to wonder if the battlefield is finally rejecting him.
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 β 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.
