@waywardcollective / continued.

Every exhale is a faint, crystalized mist ( a puff of white against the vast, black sky. it rises and dissipates between the other clouds, thick and only occasionally allowing the moon to peek through; a quiet night, a lonely night ) that should have made him feel colder than his body made it out to be. But, thankfully, the cold is not as relentless yet: does not slip past the back of his neck when his sweater allowed an opening, does not bite at the skin of his nose and cheeks when the wind grows stronger. His hands are gloved, stuffed in the pockets of his jacket and he turns the corner of the street to finally make his way home when he sees him.

His lack of protection against the night's chill is the first thing he notices ( always fretting over the well-being of others, does he not? ) before he takes the other man in fully, golden eyes blinking at the sight of him. Hunched and shaking, it is only reasonable to approach, to help.

" Excuse me, Sir, but-- ", the gasp catches him off-guard and only then does Valentin realize that he had not seen him, a bashful smile curling around the edge of his lips as he raises his hands, trying to show him that he is no threat. " Sorry, I did not mean to startle you. " Perhaps he has grown too accustomed to be quiet in the night, too aware of his own steps and the loud echo that follows them. The questioning of his motives is what tears him out of his thoughts. Meeting? Help? A pause stills all of his movements before he simply shakes his head. " No. It's--- It's just that you looked like you're freezing. Here, take my jacket. You shouldn't catch a cold. " Slipping out of it and remaining only in his turtleneck, he holds it out with an expression that wordlessly conveyed: no discussions.

A church. Is it not ironic that, despite his heavenly nature, he has never been to one? The promise of tea in return does sound tempting, however and so he nods, smiling gently. " I'd like that, thank you. " He holds out his hand. " My name is Valentin. And you are? "

[waywardcollective]

"A pleasure to meet y', Valentin." Grasping his gloved hand, the Irishman gave a firm shake, using his other to pat the top of it before letting go. "Elsner...well, Lloyd. But everyone tends to call me by my surname." He laughed, shrugging one shoulder. It had been that way for as long as he could remember, and he never bothered to correct them. The title stuck. Now if he was addressed by his first name, it felt odd. "What they call me behind my back may be something completely different, however." A grin graced his features, before he nodded towards the street where they began their journey towards St. Anne's. He would be glad to see those familiar stained glass windows, knowing that behind them was warmth and comfort. For now, the dull glow of the overhead streetlamps provided a small sense of safety -- lighting their path every step of the way. Not a single soul was passed by; they were no fools in this type of weather, escaping the cold by being at home.

Two orbs of light appeared in the distance, somewhat masked by the mist, but Elsner recognised them as the mounted lamps above the large doors. As they moved closer, stone steps started to take shape and the entrance archway gradually followed. A sigh of relief. Although the borrowed jacket did well to shield him from the bitter cold, some of it still managed to seep into him and he pushed open one half of the front door. He immediately felt the difference as they stepped over the threshold, quickly closing the door after them to seal in the warmth. The metal latch falling back into place made a clunking noise, before everything fell silent once more. "This is miles better, don't y' think? Make yerself comfortable." Rubbing his hands together as though to rid the cold from them, Elsner made his way towards the many rows of pews. They were empty tonight, which was hardly surprising. He walked down the side of them until he reached a white door near the pulpit, opening it to reveal a very small kitchen area.

"How d'y take yer tea, Valentin?" The question echoed throughout the church, followed by the sound of two mugs being placed down and the hot drinks made once he listened to Valentin's preference. A cupboard was opened and a packet rustled as a plate of biscuits was prepared, there to accompany the tea. Once it was done, Elsner returned to the other man and placed everything down on a small linen-covered table. "There y' have it." He smiled, picking up a chocolate coated digestive and dunking it into his tea before taking a bite. It was exactly what he needed. Tea first, prayer afterwards. He was sure the big boss would forgive him for the order of priority. After finishing the digestive and taking a sip of his tea, he looked over at Valentin with an expression of curiosity. "I couldn't help but notice yer twang when y' spoke. If y' don't mind me asking, where'y' from?"

Dialogue Prompts II Accepting

"What the fuck was that?" Whatever it was, they were as equally shocked as him. The graze marks positioned haphazardly above his collarbone was unexpected, but its creator had automatically drawn back - startled - upon being given an unpleasant taste of his viscous blood. It was different to what it was used to. Despite the revelation that he was safe, Eli was too stunned to move. He was aware that something attacked him, but never had he seen a creature with quite so many fangs. Eventually reaching up, his fingers pressed against the light wound where drops of blue liquid appeared. Nothing major, thankfully; he would heal straight away. But he could only imagine what kind of damage could have been inflicted had he been fully human. Judging by what he saw, it would be a damn miracle if he survived. When his body finally caught up with his mind, the half-Synth located his trilby that was knocked off in the fray and picked it up. He clung onto it like a lifeline, before settling it back upon his head. Pulling the collar of his overcoat closer around his neck, he released a long exhale.

"I...what?" It was all he could manage to respond with as he looked over at the gentleman with an expression of utter confusion. In that single sentence, Eli believed that he was much more knowledgeable about whatever came from the shadows than he cared to divulge. But the half-Synth was certainly going to find out more. "You sound like an expert," he continued, retrieving a handkerchief from his pocket to clean the blood from his fingers. The white cloth stained a bright blue. "Were you...uh - hunting it down?" It was the only explanation he could come up with as to why the other had come along moments after the event. He hoped he was and not because they worked in pairs.

“You need to rest.” ( from Val @ Elsner? (: )

Prompt List - Concern & Upset II Accepting

"Y' should get yerself off," came the exhausted reply, but there was no real commitment. A suggestion, rather than a command. It had been a challenging day for the leader; there were a lot of things that could have gone so much better. And unfortunately, his mind refused to switch off and instead nit-pick at every part of their most recent raid. He was a fierce protector. Whenever he developed a plan, the safety of his members was paramount over destroying Emotions. From assessing any potential dangers, to making sure there was a quick escape; if the situation became tense, they were immediately told to evacuate and return to base. He covered every possible outcome, every scenario. But tonight caught him by surprise when they were greeted by an ambush. The gang supplying Emotions were supposed to be elsewhere - he monitored them closely - but they had quite clearly caught wind of their plan to descend upon the warehouse. Despite the hail of bullets, his members managed to flee without a single scratch. He, however, was only aware of being grazed across the top of his shoulder after returning to their safehouse and somebody pointed out his bloody shirt.

Adrenaline was certainly a powerful drug.

"I don't think I can sleep right now, even if I tried." A slow laugh followed as he sorted through a pile of papers on his desk, trying to create some semblance of order. But the words were beginning to blur into one and he released a quiet sigh. They were detailed reports of what happened tonight, and he wanted to complete them before addressing everything in the meeting tomorrow morning. Between the pain in his bandaged shoulder, to the headache that was radiating across his temple, he was fighting a losing battle. He felt disappointed, but mostly angry at himself for failing as a leader tonight. Everyone could have been seriously injured or killed because of his rookie mistake. Nobody mentioned it outright - or even hinted - but Elsner blamed himself entirely. And he worried that they would begin to lose faith in him, especially if he was capable.

"I'll be fine, don't y' fuss," a pause as he thought, finally settling his gaze on Valentin. "What time is it, anyway? I thought I was the only one here. Everyone else left a while ago, right?"
