sweet like candy

Venom’s bright eyes lingered up at the night’s sky, her mind easily wandering to her father whenever she looked up to the stars. Surely he was up there, looking down on her as she made her way to power. She knew she was making him proud, she could see it in her sister’s eyes, and hear it in Obi’s words. Venom had made it to the first of her lofty goals, and hopefully Archon would continue to guide her as much as those important influences still in her life. Sirius had taken up Archon’s role after he’d been killed. Venom wouldn’t be the same wolf she was now without him.

Her attention was distracted by the other presence in the clearing. Lilac and rose eyes turned towards the brilliant colored woman. She was taller than Venom, and for a moment reminded her of her Warlord’s children. Mostly though, Venom was thrown off guard at the greeting she was offered. Gorgeous was not a word that the girl would describe herself as nor had anyone ever declared her as such before. Strong, capable, frightening even, but never gorgeous. The young Empress wasn’t sure what to make of it, and instead let the compliment roll down her back.

”The night is my home,” she returned softly, eyeing the woman up and down unabashedly, still uncertain how to react. ”I belong in its embrace, and you?” She returned the question with the hint of a classic Klein smirk.
