he listened further, thoughtfully as she shared the words. a faint smile dusted his lips as she explained her mothers tendency to provide an answer for everything. he knew that trait oh so well, his own always had to be right.

all of those questions. that my father passed before I was born. that he didnโt know about me. that if he did, he probably wouldnโt have stuck around. sheโs always refused to tell me how they met. for some reason. โ

he listened without interruption, allowing her every word to settle in a way he could understand deeply. there was something so painfully familiar about the uncertainty in her voice. the desperate need for answers, the frustration of discovering that those entrusted with โ

her own father wasnโt actually dead ? โ I just โฆ. donโt even know where to begin. or how to bring any of this up. โ
his expression carried no pity, no curiousity. in fact, it consumed only a softness of almost relating to her heartbreaking words, at least once upon a time he was in the similar boat; questioning who he was, alone in a world a parent made isolating, but he got lucky, having โ

may be if I do. how hard is it to live with the fact that you never told him everything you once wanted too ?
maybe one of these days sheโll see just how messed up her ways of thinking can be. but I highly doubt things will ever change for me, rouben. โ
he said nothing for the longest time, just listening to her words instead. capturing the rays of her being among the sunset that glistened to a lowering darkness. it was cruel, the events of het life; yet he knew everyone had a story.
and yet something still kept pulling at โ

ironic, really. irony that would soon catch up to her upon knowing who * really helped create her.
โi guess our mothers were kinda alike, actually.โ
a light laugh left his features as grief couldn't even extinguish the fondness of comfort he felt in this moment.
โmine was fiercely protective, she believed the world beyond ours was dangerous, that nothing good could come โ

that. โ thank you, for offering to be my friend. I just * really hope you know what youโre kidding yourself into. โ
she opted to tease, instead of commenting on anything else. not wanting to make this encounter awkward in any way.
the mention of his parents tugged a bittersweet smile, replacing any mischievous attitude that contained it prior.
โmy mother was extraordinary. fiercely protective, stubborn and entirely incapable of telling a lie. a trait i inherited, unfortunately.โ

the faint smile of his curled up at his edges, big brown eyes returned to focus back on the horizon. briefly wandering across the trees. her honesty was striking, yet; welcomed.

โbeautiful, yeah it is.โ
his response came in a wave of calmness. as though mimicking the very still trees themselves in the horizon that captured his attention.
a few seconds passed until he turned to acknowledge the stranger. truth was, he had already sensed her โ

closer, though. hands simply just in her pockets. silently begging the question of if she should sit down, or simply just stand. she opts for the latter.

something beneath the earth had begun to stir. not violently nor hostile, but recognised with familiarity to the seelie. strange how even the flames seemed to quiet when he listened.
he's watching the sunrise. the earth is quiet, and still. too still. perhaps thats the problem wirh vacations, they're not particularly suited to overthinkers.

he caught the concern on lucifer, first by the aura then by a glance. he halted in his pace.
โnothing particularly demanding, no. why?โ
he fell into a step with lucifer, hands reaching his pocket.

a glance to the familiarity of the company beside him.

"Yes well Witches tend to put even the best in a mood."
He scanned him over. He wasn't sure how to bring up this new found strength that had occured. He hummed as he walked closer. Scanning rouben over.
"Come. Tell me everything"

something was different, the colour in lucifers complexion, the strength radiating from him, the almost breathtaking hum of power beneath his skin.
