searching for a pulse

Kai had never experienced anything that even slightly resembled whatever Tyranis had gone through. He didn't know the first thing about the man, but the emotion in his song spoke more than words ever could, and Kai knew that he couldn't relate. And yet... he appreciated his honesty, nodding simply at the stranger's admission. He only hesitated if but for a second before answering, and Kai felt a faint smile touch his lips. One of empathy, perhaps? He added a short nod, not finding any need to question him on it further. Kai had approached him first, after all, and for a moment he considered that maybe this man hadn't wanted to be approached at all. He'd seemed initially startled, but the surprised had faded just as quickly, and now here they were. Too late to turn back now, he supposed - especially now that his interest was piqued in this stranger. Despite the sad song, this stranger didn't seem as despondent as he would've expected. His posture was strong, and his gaze clear as he faced Kai. He only stared for a moment before looking away, attention captured by something nearby. It took Kai a moment longer to notice the blazing trail of light nearby, though once he did his eyes widened. All around them the colors seemed to flourish from nowhere, as though replacing the rapidly disappearing sunlight with a spectacle of their own. The stranger uttered a single word, magic, and he chuckled softly. "Magic? Do you believe in such things?" His question was an inquisitive one, genuinely curious rather than incredulous. Regardless of what he believed, it definitely was a beautiful sight. Mirroring Tyranis' movements, he lifted a paw, gently prodding at the water and watching as the blue hue shifted. |
