<3 Here's a shorty. Big Grin It also kinda sucks sorry. ; ; WC: 376


It was quite unlike Kesho to be so friendly with another person so soon after meeting them, but there he was, drinking and talking with this girl already. Maybe he would blame his cheerful mood, or the pleasantness of the day. Maybe it was just the fact that he really needed to make more friends; the old man didn't really have too many people to talk to. Though it was also true that he didn't often feel the need to talk. Today, however, he was feeling cordial, friendly, and even talkative. It felt good, it really need. The Hastati needed more days like this, simply basking in the warmth of the sun's rays and enjoying this place that he called home, but whose scenery he did not often stop to appreciate.


"I don't mind at all. Help yourself," Talitha said, the words simply melting from her mouth.


He nodded in appreciation as the liquid's warmth spread through his body. With it came even more of that cloudy happiness. The girl was pleased to share, it seemed, as though she'd only been waiting for someone to share it with. The man's eyes glanced briefly towards the skyline, taking note of the position of the sun. It was still quite early in the day to be drinking, he thought; but didn't he deserve a day off here and there? Of course I do, the man replied firmly to himself. If he couldn't allow himself to indulge, who else would?


The Lykoi woman lifted a gentle hand and patted the dusty floor beside her. With a single glance, he understood, and moved to join her down there. The cold weather and early morning, though, made it difficult for him to move as quickly as he normally might.


"So," he said, as he lowered his body slowly to sit beside her, an easy tone on his lips. "what's your story?" the man muttered, simply curiously, as he settled his limbs along the floor, making himself comfortable against the wooden structure. "Do you often drink alone so early, or was today special?" he asked with a smirk, casually reaching his hand out towards her in a vague motion, in hopes of getting another delicious mouthful of that golden drink.
