Remembering to Breathe

[Ifran] The Sunken Conundrum offers another glimpse at the extraordinary powers-that-be in Alvadas.

Considered one of the most mysterious cities in Mizahar, Alvadas is called The City of Illusions. It is the home of Ionu and the notorious Inverted. This city sits on one of the main crossroads through The Region of Kalea.

Remembering to Breathe

“The next available full moon,” Seven echoed, fingers tracing absent circles along the spine of that old religious volume, “and you will take me to the foothills, and show me the stars.”

Another breath of laughter found sagging lips and his shoulders rose, as if to dismiss whatever doubt clouded the turbulent water between them. “Strangers don’t often offer such protection and kindness—but, I am beginning to expect it from those with six arms.” The first had scraped him from the ground in a heap of his own shame.

“When the moon turns and I can wrench myself free of Alvadas’ tangle of streets, I’ll meet you here. Outside of here, that is,” as a free hand formed a conclusive gesture towards the building’s outer walls, the halfblood’s lips tightened into an uncomfortable simper and his pale brows tipped upward, “Provided your entertainer’s god is content with us leaving His walls in dry clothing.”

Notes:

This thread was a pleasure to read, and it makes me sad that I can’t really reward either of you much of it. Meet-and-greets tend to be pretty dull, but there was some character development in here, however subtle. I like how Ifran is slowly unbuckling into a different sort of person as he lingers in Alvadas; when he goes back home I wonder what he’ll have become?

Reading about Seven bumbling through the streets making maps amuses me to no end. The fact that his pursuit of religion was brought along by the city’s illusions, which he hates, is ironic in a beautiful way. No complaints here!
