Cool blues the color of frozen ice watched with interest as people folded in and out of one another in the middle of the floor. She was not clinging to the wall, but to some it might look that way. It wasn’t entirely odd, the dancing… It reminded her of the kind of dances she’d seen at the capitol—in Elysian. Not the least bit common among her tribe, not at all. The one time she had gone on behalf of her people, in place of the chief, she had not known what to do. And she had never quite learned either. But, that had been alright. At some point one of her own tradition—one of another tribe—had lead one the floor and she had joined in—clapping hands, weaving bodies, drumbeats, and smiles.
So many here looked different. She did not see another Traygon, half wondering if she were the only one. How many were from her world? She might have thought it a dream, this moment in misplaced time, but magick was commonplace where she came from. It could be nothing but real.
Her aura expanded and she could sense so much going on, more than in just this room. This place, wherever it was, unnatural and lovely in its own way, was far bigger than it appeared. And yet, despite the desire to fold into the dreamscape, she could not help but want to know more.
And then something prickled at her senses. Cool blues turned toward a figure approaching her. He was tall, skin dark and hair darker still. The long ebony strands made her think of her people as much as the leathers and bone beads did--the mask of a coyote. Many of her kind were pale skinned, as pale as she was. But, there were some still whose skin held the same tint as his. It reminded her a lot of home, the way he looked, and yet didn’t. Was he a familiar face? As he drew closer she could see that he was not; were he, perhaps he was a member of a different tribe altogether and she did not know him.
When he spoke she realized she did not recognize his dialect, not entirely… it was… there was something in it. And the tongue he chose was common among the species in her land, just as the letter had been written in. It was tempting to speak to him in her own people’s language, but she did not think anymore that he was one of her own—of her tribe or another. And had she met him before, it would be difficult for one such as Calandra to forget him.
“You are not a bother,” she said to him softly, meeting his dark gaze. Her voice was soothing to ear, not too harsh or soft. Not too cold and not too warm. It did not lack emotion; rather, it was just the way of her. Her voice, among other things, was likely why she had been selected to work in the temple.
She smiled gently, glancing once at the dancers for a brief moment as he commented on her beauty. It was not the first or the last time someone had said as much, but she appreciated it all the same. His grin, also, felt a little infectious. And she could tell, just by the way he gave her the once over, that he had more in mind than conversation. He tried to hide it, perhaps, under a rough veneer; however, she didn’t mind. She didn’t mind the wording either.
She looked at him again then, holding his gaze without fear of whatever intentions he had as she laughed softly. Not at him, no, but at his attempt at charm. It relaxed and soothed something within her. And for once, she didn’t have to keep the guise intact. “I am not taken, Maca. Tell me, has your heart been broken before?”
