The turning of her hand and the kiss caught her by surprise, it was a gesture that she didn’t receive often but its execution somewhat dazzled her. There were many customs around the world she had yet to discover and the display of his greeting reminded her that there were so many things still to learn.
As Elijah had assumed, Lumikki would chuckle to his jest. Sometimes it was just refreshing to be in the company of someone willing to entertain word play. As a mischievous being herself, she enjoyed weaving deeper meanings to her words and phrases but with a lot of her company here, sadly it would go over many of their heads. She rejoiced in the few that could entertain her, teasing them more tenderly than those who could not. ” Ah, so yer familiar with Desierto? I have yet to explore much meself but I’ll keep yer suggestion in mind. Starring at the stars and marking their placement is a joy of mind and a skill that proves handy at times when yer lost. But I would gather, being under the sky in different places could add more perspective to the celestial bodies up above. I’ll be sure to mark it as a task I’d entertain soon.” And the advice would bring forth her joy which was apparent on her face.
Though this merriment would quickly be cut short in the moment of his pained reaction, helpless to his struggle, Lumikki waited patiently until what she thought was a headache had passed. Trying to cool the air as if to alleviate the pain, though she knew it hardly useful it was a gesture sprung from apprehension. When it finally passed, she left him have a moment to catch his breath. Thought she’d lean in slightly to inspect his condition.
” Would ye like to join me for some tea and refreshments? Perhaps it’s lack of hydration, or maybe all this light. Either way I was mostly done with me tasks and errands, if ye have time to spare I could extend me company. Maybe show ye around a bit more since ye did admire the building? Things become even more pleasing once we begin crossing the bridge.” Lumikki gestured at the entrance that led to the bridge mentioned, and took a few steps in while looking back for him to follow.
One of her personal servants could be found just past the entry, and as the pair progress, she’d call for his assistance. The man in question had mid length golden hair that was tied back in a braid but some of his locks would still hang in front of his face. He wore fine Icebergian dress which consisted of cream colored linens and a deep violet sash. Some black feathers would adorn his shirt like a brooch, while the fabric also contained simple traditional patterns.” Torgny dear, could ye fix us up some lavender tea and refreshments? I’ll be up in the room I entertain guests.” He’d entertain her task with a small bow before walking off to prepare her order, and as he went off, so would they.
As Lumikki took him to cross the bridge she’d point out the buildings of note or their uses. But she mostly let him observe them for himself as he’d appreciate the more than she could assist.” I almost forgot to get yer name lad. Ya know more of me than I could ye.” This was not entirely true, as her World’s eyes would tell her what she needed to know including name. But denying the pleasure of a natural exchange didn’t warrant the convenience of her power and the man with her was far more charming not to converse along with.
