things we deserve

Though sometimes Kai is comforted by the quiet stillness of the north, other times he can't help but feel the undeniable need to cause some kind of upheaval. The north, after all, is never quiet for long.. the calm before the storm is a saying that he knew all too well after spending so much time in these unpredictable lands. And.. if the storm never quite comes? Well, goddamnit, he would be the storm.

Maybe that was a slight exaggeration. Still, it was hard to not want to be somewhat chaotic, even if he wasn't sure exactly where to begin. For starters, wanting to run off some of his pent-up energy, he'd decided to run, weaving erratically between the trees of the Sparse Pine forest. His movements were unpredictable, and loud; he was fully prepared to deal with the consequences of disturbing anyone's peaceful afternoon. As a matter of fact, he almost hoped he might run into someone - it'd been far too long since he'd had a good conversation, and he was craving something new.

Only the scent of another would make him pause, slowing his pace and peering around for the source of the stench. After a moment, he hears a voice, asking more than once - 'Stay or go?' though though the voice was oddly muffled behind the creature's mask. Curious, Kai would wrinkle his nose, bewildered as he searched for the source of the voice. After a brief moment of searching he saw a stranger in the distance, with a only skull for a face. Or was he wearing some kind of skull over his head? Kai frowned deeply, perplexed at the side, as he veered toward the stranger, overcome with curiosity. "I'd stay, if I were you!" He called out cheerily, though his brows were still furrowed in concentration as he tried to get a better look at the lanky stranger. "I like your... uh.. face," Kai offered with another frown, not sure if that was the most eloquent way to put it.
