Re: Enterprise Mingle

[bloodypast]

[It was...an odd friendship--but Vincent had come to realize that yes, it was a friendship, with Rialynn. Part of why he had sought out appropriate gifts for her for Starlight, and enjoyed her company when their paths crossed. Nor was he surprised to find her on the Enterprise with them.

He did actually have a specific purpose in seeking her out this time, but it would wait. At least until her song finished. He also did his best to not sneak up on her, if she were distracted. Simply moving to stand by her, in black save for his bandanna and cloak, tarnished-gold tipped boots, and tarnished gold claw and gauntlet on his left hand. Unlike the last times their paths have aligned in battle, he wears not only his familiar handgun, but is bearing a rifle this time.

Simply listening, and patient, waiting for her acknowledgement when she is ready. ]

[rialynn]

['Distracted' is a good word for it. But even when she finally notices his dark and silent presence, she doesn't jump oddly enough. Instead she lets her song trail into humming, just long enough to finish the bar. It would have bothered her to cut herself off in the middle of a lyric.]

[She lifts her head to look up at him from over her shoulder, and once she recognizes his face she smiles.]

Hi, Vincent.

[Rialynn pushes some of her hair out of her face as she looks back out over the clouds and distant landscape below.]

Come to admire the view? It looks strangely pretty from up here.

[She moves a few inches to the left, an open invitation for him to stand beside her as he likes.]

[bloodypast]

[When invited, he strode closer and joined her briefly in looking out over the world below. Bittersweet, and too much like traveling on the Highwind. (Which is why he usually stayed inside in a shadowy part.) A reminder that they were all small, and how much and how little they really could effect.

Or he was just being melancholy--which was nothing new.]

I have seen such views before.

[Nah, he came over to say hi--and to seek her out specifically. Crimson eyes turning to watch her, attention given there instead of the grounds below.]

[rialynn]

Mm?

[Rialynn watches him a moment longer, her brows raised. Not here for the view. For her? Sure seems likely, but for the life of her she can't imagine why he'd seek her out specifically. Is it because she's going to take up the bard role in the fight to come? Is he feeling lonely now that his lady love has sadly disappeared?]

[Unsure of what's going through his mind, given his extremely amazing poker face, she just pats the railing to her side to invite him over.]

Well...what's on your mind, then?

[bloodypast]

[There was much on his mind, honestly--but he wasn't usually one to share.]

If I recall, you are keeping logs of your adventures. Journals about those of us you meet, correct? To tell stories of later?

[rialynn]

[She nods, once, still regarding him curiously. Usually she's the one pestering other people for tales to tell to fill the pages. Those coming to her of their own volition? That's new.]

It's in my cabin below deck. Should I go get it?

[The bard is already straightening, prepared to dash off as soon as he gives the slightest indication that he needs it up here. A new tale to fill its pages would be more than welcome, after all!]

[bloodypast]

It is a long story. I had not expected you to write it now...

[Which isn't a no, although he wouldn't object either. At least to her starting. It was clear this was important to him.]
