REXANNA
paint my spirit gold
Oh, it’s not her entire story. Just a snip of the last couple of seasons. She’s lived a long, full life so far, which much more to go. That’s only one chapter. But she still smiles to him, head tilting lightly as the information settles once more. And when he speaks, she actually laughs, a bright cheerful sound like the chime of a bell as she sits back comfortably. “Yes. She was.” She snorts, eyes softening, lidded heavily as she looks back to him and he glances sideways at her.His next question could almost turn her red too as he says it, and she lets the smile remain on her face despite it. “Essentially yeah… But, our bites do a similar feeling.” She shrugs, before she focuses on him a bit, seeking out the boyish features of him. “How old are you?” She asks suddenly, realizing that she should likely know before telling him anything else. If he’s too young, well, it would be awkward to talk about the birds and the bees, so to speak.
But on the other hand, evidently, he’s already slept around a bit.
She passes over the information easily, like shutting the pages of a book and not willing to pick it back up until a later date. A much later date. And she focuses on him again as he almost seems to grow excited about the mention of Wessex. She’ll have to bring him to meet her at some point, to see how it ends up. She’ll have to take him to meet many people, she decides. The Voice, Wessex, Bastien, the list goes on and on.
His movement distracts her from her own thoughts as she focuses on him again. “Well, that’s the hard part. When I came through, I was sure it was a trap of some sort. But here I am, a year later, and things are going relatively well… So now is when I’ve started actually doing things. Some people adjust faster, others take longer. You can stay here however long you need to, but in the mean time just try to stay out of trouble.” She tells him with a wink, leaning forward slightly before she grabs herself a blanket and wraps it around her arms, her neck and brand on display still.
“You can help in the Settlement, sometimes the naturals will ask for help. Longnight is coming up, which will be… Rough, but you’ll have me and Bastien there. And the other Ascendeds. There's no currency here, just bartering and what not.” She shrugs, fully imagining to keep him as safe as possible.
