The Diamond of Kalea is located on Kalea's extreme west coast and called as such because its completely made of a crystalline substance called Skyglass. Home of the Alvina of the Stars, cultural mecca of knowledge seekers, and rife with Ethaefal, this remote city shimmers with its own unique light.

In the time that Haneht had dived into the pool and made himself comfortable, the Inarta had changed into a much more comfortable, simple tunic. Gone were the plain, drab hunter’s clothes in favour of beautiful fabric - much more befitting of a fine creature like Raeyn, in Haneht’s opinion - of white and gold, his favourite colour.

Gold was the weakness of many a man, as he’d come to learn at an early age. He himself was no exception, easily enamoured by anything that so much as glinted at him. It epitomised grandeur and glamor, divinity and majesty, and suited him just well. He found that it was a loud and sophisticated colour at the same time, and reminded him of everything he loved. Syna’s glorious, radiant light, Eyktol’s dunes of sand and his home: the glittering jewel that was Ahnatep.

Leaning over the edge of the pool, slender fingers strained in numerous attempts to reach the complimentary bottles of soap by the side, eventually making purchase with one when it was knocked over that he took a whiff of out of habit. Sweet, he noted disinterestedly, already used to the scent, but there was still an inviting urge to give it a taste. Again.

“Oh, I’m blushing,” he purred, husky voice rumbling in his throat, ”Men and women both, actually.” Thick, dark brows waggled playfully, more jesting than suggestive. Raeyn was a lovey creature, but Haneht would rather not push him too much, lest he made good on his promise to make a pincushion of the youth. Or leave. Best not agitate the grumpy little hamster!

The mention of school summoned images of his former tutors, stern-faced and breathing down his neck nearly every waking hour of his childhood, and he involuntarily grimaced. No thanks. He had had enough confinement and rigid schooling to last him a lifetime. Learning came much easier when one did it of their own free will, he found, and when it didn’t involve getting punished for every mistake and imperfection. Granted, he hadn’t been the most focused of children, but he liked to think that amongst his siblings, he had been most obedient as a younger child. Like a puppet, dancing and bending at another’s will.

Had Haneht been any less mindful of his current state of undress, he would’ve shamelessly bolted right out to get a closer look at the lock of hair limp between Raeyn’s fingers. Instead, he simply stayed in the pool, admiring from afar. It was glistening white, almost silver in the glow of candlelight, and he briefly wondered how his newfound wonder would look with a crown of glistening white locks tumbling to his shoulders. Like the mysterious, ethereal Konti of the White Isle? He had yet to meet any personally, his only and limited knowledge of them stemming from tales, paintings and his studies as a child, but he so hoped to. He’d heard a lot about their beauty and natural affinity for divination, and the shimmering, iridescent scales that supposedly decorated their bodies. “I like it,” the boy offered, genuine as can be. He really did mean it. “Makes you look very special. Like you’ve been blessed, painted by Syna and Leth themselves. And those...” the Eyph gestured at his own face, struggling to find the Common word for Raeyn’s freckles. “Like stars,” upper set of arms swept at the sky in emphasis, a bright, child-like smile gracing pillowy lips.

The complement rang in Raeyn’s ears. And truly inert would have though he’d deal with such a thing far better. After all he had heard such complements come from so many people across the years, but none quite as beautiful as the exotic boy.

Before even realising, Reayn felt heat in his cheeks. The constellations of his freckles became engulfed in deep scarlet nebulas, so intense that even from afar it would be difficult for Hannah to miss them.. Black and white lashed blinked for a moment before hiding in his hands. So embarrassed was he. And the embarrassment only angered him. Anger was better than facing any actual feelings he might have, right?

“Do you say things like this to everyone you meet?” He grumbled. Raeyn wasn’t about to get his hopes up. What’s the chances that the hands of fate would drop him in such an oddly coincidental manner in the metaphorical lap of someone he could actually give any care about. Impossible.

Truly, there would no better way to spend the remaining bells of his day with Raeyn, just to see how the other ticked. Already, Haneht knows, that the greying (or whitening?) Inarta was a joy to tease, more hissing housecat than an angry lion despite his flaming red mane. What else could he glean? What secrets and sorrows and stories did he hide, that the brunette could goad him into sharing? Would it take more compliments, or even a kiss?

A spark of desire flickered into existence at the thought of placing his own pout against the rosy red lips of his new curiosity, as he watched a diverse plethora of conflict and emotions swim in the depths of refreshingly blue eyes. Wild, Haneht thought. Like the rest of his brethren of sharp-eyed redheads, this man had a wild sort of beauty that his silent, stern persona greatly contrasted. Raeyn was born to be free, so why did he seem so tied down and burdened?

Deep scarlet bloomed, erupted, across the Inarta hunter’s pale Marigold complexion like paint on canvas, and the painting of constellations in his skin morphed with the addition to form a red galaxy. Then a pair of hands overlapped his features, earning an adoring smile from the very artist who’d put that shade of red there.

He’d be lying if he said he wasn’t the least bit proud, knowing that he had a grown man fully capable of putting an arrow or two in him squirming and flushing like a shy, virgin lass with his saccharine, honey words. Words had never been his strong point as a child, and they sometimes still weren’t, especially with the Common Tongue that he’d struggled to get used to because of how restrictive it was, compared with the gestural Arumenic he grew up speaking. He often still employed the usage of his many hands even as he spoke Common Tongue.

“No, not everyone,” answered the boy, truth and fiction welded together. “Just the special ones,” his radiant smile widened in emphasis, scintillating amber eyes clear and wide and trained on the other. In all fairness, anyone that caught his eyes was special to him, who saw the most obscure hints of value than common masses in the strangest of things. Littlest of features seemed to stand out to him just as much as the glaringly obvious ones did, and he had a tendency to voice out his appreciation. So, it was technically not a lie if it was his truth, and someone closed both their eyes and deafened themselves.

“And I think you’re a wonder, Raeyn.”

Date, Season, Year

The boy was relentless in his pursuit. Something that came as quite the shock of belated realisation to Raeyn who off the batt assumed most did not share in his particular taste in people. But yet here he was. First man in years that had been interested in the Inarta and so very much out of practice with these things, as Raeyn was, he had less than zero idea about what to do with it. He was neither especially flirtatious nor believed himself to make a good partner for just about anyone. Suffice to say, in his head he had already managed to put the cart before the horse, as he often did.

The alchemist gave the comment a long think. A far far longer think than any man should every think bout just about anything.

“An I think you’re marvellously, sincerely, very odd.” It wasn’t a negative word to him. Quite the opposite. Odd was a curiosity. Odd was a mystery worth solving and a place worth finding. But truly Reayn was never great at expressing himself.

A bleep rang the end of the afternoon rest. And in spite of his best efforts to do so, thanks to a certain six armed somebody, the hunter had gotten so rest at all. A long stretch saw him rise from the sofa, a yawn, and fingers began coming though red hair. Nimble twigs of alabaster weaved red and white together into a neat plait. Remaining at the Rest past this bell could only be considered slothful.

There was a pregnant pause that fell upon them as soon as the words had left Haneht’s mouth, and for a moment he was unable to tell what the Inarta male was thinking. Sparing a nervous glance at the bow and quiver placed conveniently in his line of sight, he pressed his lips together, scrutinizing the other in anticipation. Had he misjudged the other? Perhaps Raeyn did not have a preference for those of the same sex. Pity. The brunette had thought he was getting somewhere with the other, even if his hopes hadn’t been very high in the first place.

The hunter broke the silence with a vague, subtle compliment - or at least, that was what the Eypharian chose to receive it as - and Haneht all but beamed, amber eyes lighting up. At the very least, that meant he was interesting, right? Odd was good, odd was fun! Conformity did not suit him at all.

The final bell of rest sounded, signalling the end of the rest and for the majority of Lhavit to return to its usual bustling. He didn’t leave as quickly as Rae did, merely watched and lingered about for just a little longer before dragging himself out to towel off and redress, light bounce in his steps as he made his way through the halls of the Zintia Rest. Hessel, whom he passed on his way out, quirked a brow as if meaning to ask what had the little imp done now.

Briefly, he thought, unaware of the events to follow in the coming Seasons and days, that it would be so nice if they were to meet again. And it would be a few days from now, when he passed by the Shooring Star Inn and caught a glimpse of the fetching barmaid there, that he’d finally recall, albeit vaguely, the banquet where their first actual meeting had been, memories distorted by the sinful pleasures of wine and overwhelming atmospher.
