A Dip In The Moonlight

Aspen Wreckage

There was a charmer within this male, that much was blatantly obvious. Although she wasn't one to buy into such flattery with ease, Aspen couldn't help the urge to smile at his comment. "You could charm a snake, couldn't you?" She shook her crown however, knowing good and well his flattery was only meant to amuse her, that way he could avoid the more honest answer. So she sat and waited for it, and thankfully it didn't take him very long to figure it out. What Kai spoke of however, made her head turn slightly in his direction, searching his face for something that resembled humor or playful banter, but found nothing of the like. That left Aspen stumped a little, because the words he spoke... they hit a cord within the raven woman she had not yet admit to anyone.

Ever since her brother left there was a sense of unease creeping within her, as if something was amiss and it caused her to be more fleeting than usual. Thus her never ending adventures; constantly moving from place to place, hoping, praying, one day she might find a spot that settled her permanently. But such a place continued to avoid her, but at times like this one, she believed she was close. Her eyes turned away once more to cast their gaze upon the moonlight falls, her thoughts nearly as loud as the waterfall, yet her voice quieter than the night sky. There was so much she wished to say, but she held it in, and thought over what few words she truly wanted to speak instead. "Is there something troubling you, perhaps? The moon is a great listener and if it is a secret, I'm sure the falls will keep it for you." She was such a hypocrite, but that wasn't something he needed to know.
