The prideful Gamma nearly chuckled to himself as he continued to take stock of Naniko: in his excitement to see the lovely Angela, he hadn't noticed the dirt and bristles that covered her alabaster body. In normal times, he would have been slightly put off by her rough and tumble appearance, but these were not normal times. Naniko, for one thing, had seen him in all sorts of states of filth. The first time they'd met, so many moons ago, Shandom had been covered in dirt and disgrace because he'd gotten himself stuck in a goddamned root. A ghost of a smile threatened to curl around his lips, but Shandom Qi'Vaex wasn't in the business of looking like a crazy person; he resisted the urge well, and kept his scarred features wholly trained on the woman before him. Gods above, she was lovely in a way he hadn't noticed since he lost his beloved Linquilea. Naniko D'Angelo made his blood rush in much the same fashion Lea did. The thought was frightening.

But her words were enough to make a tender smile curl across his lips. Secretly, Shandom wished he could spend more time in Anathema, if only to be with the woman. He was relieved to hear that her birthday was acknowledged by her three youngest children - the Dawn man would not have been able to forgive himself if the day went unnoticed. For some reason, Naniko's happiness was dear to him; he chalked it up to her simply being a good friend, and nothing more. The reality of anything else terrified the Gamma - he had never particularly cared for someone, especially a female, in such a way. He had felt tenderness towards Keli, and loved the way she smiled, but the arrogant man's heart was never warm towards her the way it'd been warm to Lea - and now, it seemed, his friend Naniko. I wish you didn't have to feel alone, the white man began, his baritone voice soft and slightly sad. If I were closer, I could -

His words were interrupted by a flash of lightening and the sudden opening of the sky, and Shandom whined and nearly flattened his ears against his head before he realized that he had to be less of a child and more of a wolf about this whole experience if he wanted to impress Naniko at all. Lead the way, he practically shouted over the sudden howling of the wind. She wordlessly nodded and ran off, Shandom following with nervous footsteps and near blindness. He quite disliked storms, and he found himself blinking rather rapidly as he tried to keep the falling water out of his eyes. He hated situations like this, when he was rendered even more sightless by nature's cruel shifts of temperament.

The exit wasn't far, and soon Naniko was slipping into a tunnel. Shandom followed soon after, and stopped after several yards in. The rain was no longer whipping at his head, and he could grin at the whole situation. Naturally, he was entirely soaked. Well, that was unexpected, the Gamma laughed, rubbing himself a bit to warm up. It was cooler underground, and it made him slightly uncomfortable to be so chilly. Where to now, Miss D'Angelo?
