[Open] I Could See Into the Soul of Every Passerby

[redlightgreenlight]

Characters: Valdis and YOU!
Date: The Month of June
Location: Around Keeliai and Hatal
Situation: Various
Warnings/Rating: In Headers


The previous month had been somewhat of a whirlwind. Meisheng’s revelation that Milyn had truly betrayed them, Yunxu’s failures as a leader and her decision to move forward with the Police force had set in motion things that she wasn’t certain she was prepared for. In particular, she wished she could spend her time hunting the cultists, but her commitments to the Dojo and the Police Force currently hindered that. Hopefully she would be able to refocus her attentions soon enough.

Personally, she was concerned with keeping the Void under control, it’s temporary possession had been disconcerting to say the least and she couldn’t be certain it would let go so easily the next time. For now, she kept Revelations on hand at all times, the warm glow from the entire blade kept hidden by a dark cloak to keep out the cold and conceal her presence when she didn’t wish to be noticed. So many eyes seemed to be on her and her potential police force, it was different, because any mistake would be closely scrutinized and it reminded her why she had never tried to rule a country directly. The spotlight was detrimental to her secrets.

Silifel held his hand up as a sign of peace as he walked into view. He hadn't expected to stay hidden for long and the lingering dizziness of whatever that was- a hex?- made staying quiet much more difficult. Anyone with any ability to sense magic or such energy would be able to pick up his presence with ease, he was making no attempt to mask his power. The rain was making no more impact on him than it was on her, raindrops veering off to the side as soon as they were about to hit him.

"My apologies," he said in a soft, pleasant voice, not quite sure how to reply to a giant hound that spoke in his mind. "I mean no disrespect or harm, I saw you in passing and was curious, that is all."

The stranger who walked into view was tainted by strange magic, it was potent, powerful and she didn't know how she had missed it. She couldn't sense any lie in his words and her ears rose upright from where they had been pressed defensively against her skull.

Curiosity can be dangerous.

But she relaxed, releasing the tension with a deep breath.

But you didn't answer my question.

She didn't recognize him despite the fact that he must be a foreigner.

"Ah! I am not usually so rude, I'm afraid that spell has left me dazed," Silifel replied with genuine regret. "I am Silifel Surana. Might I know who you are?"

Curiosity was indeed quite dangerous, he was amused by the comment. Of course it was a risk to be following giant magical hounds around in the dark but he would be dead now if he hadn't stuck his nose where it hadn't belong. He'd resigned himself to having to toe a very unfortunate line to stay alive when he was much younger.

Valdis tipped her head, tongue flicking out to lick a drop of water off her nose as she watched the newcomer. He seemed polite enough, non-threatening, but she didn't like the feel of the magic wafting off of him.

My name is Valdis.

She couldn't find a reason for her unease, the man's soul seemed normal enough.

May I ask why you are so curious about me?
