never danced like this

He was right, she didn't much notice where his eyes were on her because her own gaze was quite caught up in his own form as well as the occasional look out towards the horizon. He seemed interested in what she had to say, at least slightly, so she knew she hadn't given him too much information. He'd add a quick question before she asked him what his life was like, but he'd pause to give her plenty of time to respond. "My parents and grandparents both ruled as equals, though if you ask me my grandmother was always the one who was really in charge." SHe'd smile more brightly at the fond memories of the first Novel and Dutiron, their recent loss still unbelievable in her mind. They'd always been a constant in her life, and knowing they were gone still tried to bring tears to her eyes.

She'd never really given much thought to leadership herself, surely she had the lineage to boast. She had every right to her own thrown, but was the weight of leadership really what she wanted? Rhythm wouldn't think on those thoughts for very long, instead the girl listened as Kyarst gave her a retelling of his past. He had been born here in these lands, to a scenario similar to her own beginning. It seemed that the dark Armada had endured as many, if not more, plights in his journey to Imperium. His expression had changed though not drastically she could see the pain his loss brought. Rhythm wanted to resist the urge to lean closer, but she knew those feelings. She might have experienced them just a bit differently, but she was no stranger to loss.

She would shift a bit closer, her gaze more directly focusing on his features, if he wished her comfort all he had to do was bridge the small gap that separated the two. "I'm sorry," she'd whisper, her voice quiet and her features lowered in respect for those lost. She didn't know how to tell him that she knew how he felt, so instead she would fall quiet again. With a shy but supportive smile she'd offer him an ear to listen and a shoulder to cry on, even if his proximity set her skin on fire.
