BLAME THE MOCKINGBIRD |

no rest for the wicked

The desolation, the destruction, it draws her in from the land not far off. Tierney is almost never home these days, she finds more excitement in new lands and equines that are not her own home or parents. Often is she now alone, prowling the lands she has yet to familiarize with -- making light conversation with whomever decides to talk back. Tierney is used to being alone now, and this does not bother her. Come fall, she will have a sibling, someone she can dote over, and this is exciting. And most nights, she is never left feeling lonely. Mostly satisfied with a good days adventure. For whatever reason, today was not like that. Today, of all days, Tierney feels loneliness creep up into her throat and cast a shadow above her head. What did she know about holding the crown of someone important, like father? She loved him so, but couldn't he see her fear, her bother, he need to wander? The girl let her stormy blues crawl over the volcano, breath held by wonder, amazement, temptations. Was it possible to climb? Yes, for her, maybe for anyone. She sighed, twice, thrice - let the amazement turn into matches sparking her insides. "Who else could even dare appreciate you?"

The wind licked his wayward hair enthusiastically, tousling it so that the tangles and the brambles flew upward - just the way he liked it. It felt brilliant to be out of the Desert, though his heartstrings niggled irritably at the knowledge that his beloved Rhaegar remained behind. The princes dedication to his family and his future was a constant pain in Reich's side - and yet it was part of his attraction to the Dragonborn. Reich himself felt no loyalty to anyone but to himself (and, admittedly and unabashedly to Rhaegar)and he felt no need to tie himself to anyone else. It was exhausting, being around so many royals, amongst all the politics that came with being a part of the Royal family - and he was not a part of it at all, only a hanger-on, unquestioned because he'd grown side by side with the Prince… but a hanger-on nonetheless. 

It was the wilderness, this wilderness, that appealed to young Reichenbach. The rage and the wrath of Mount Socotra threatening to annihilate him as he stood upon it's slopes. Admittedly, Reich felt increasingly drawn to the depths of emerald forests than he did to open plains and lava pits, but the excitement still burned just underneath his coiled mahogany skin. That excitement blossomed further still at the appearance of a dainty girl, her own eyes filled with the burning of the Volcano. If he loved the wilderness, beautiful creatures (male and female alike) came a close second.

"Who else could even dare appreciate you?"

He approached, voice rich and full of appreciation (though whether it was for the Volcano or the girl, it was impossible to tell.)

"Who indeed…"

He grinned, waiting for her to turn, offering his name as he fell into a mock bow;

"Reichenbach, at your service."

Whipster yeee! sorry it was a tad shitty! ♥

Tierney watches as he comes, blinking once and then trying to grasp the worlds to push him away. Make him go. For a second, she doesn't like herself, the skin she's in, regrets feeling this weak because she has been all alone. But, it's decided against, because she listens closely and cocks her head as he bows. She likes the way his eyes shine, and the curls that brush up carelessly at his shoulder, or maybe the confidence. It mirrors her own, on a good day. And whilst she's confused by the emotions in her chest, she brushes it away and remembers: she's a heiress, to be queen. Tierney raises her head and exhales a soft, airy chuckle, stormy eyes alight. "What a pleasure it is to meet you, Reichenbach." She tilts her own head in salutations, a generous salute, before venturing further... "I'm... new here. What say you show me around?"

The girl turned herself to move toward him, flashing a grin of her own mockery and viciousness, something flirtatious and knowing. Reichenbach seems to be intelligent, to know a good kid when he's heard one. Does he feel the electricity like she does as her soft skin brushes past? Tierney flashes her gaze at his own and tilts her head again, innocently so, curious. What was it like to be someone else? Not a princess, nothing expected of you, free from responsibility. She would find out now, wouldn't she?

"What a pleasure it is to meet you, Reichenbach."

That's all it takes for him to know she's different - not because of her words, or even the tone of her voice… there's just, something. It falters his grin for barely a second, but a second nonetheless, and it's more effect than anyone else has had on him his whole life. He recovers quickly, watching the tilt of her neck with something close to greed, drinking in the skin and the silk of her lovely hair. 

"I'm... new here. What say you show me around?"

He grins his grin, the one filled with all the worlds and all the promises she wanted to hear. He does feel the electricity as she brushes past, and he catches her sparkling eyes as she looks to him - theres an intensity he's never felt before. This wasn't the feeling of wanting, of desire, but of need. He does not show it though, knowing that she is watching carefully - he'd rather douse himself in the blood of the Volcano than appear weak in front of her. So instead he offers a charming smile;

"New? From where do you hail, nameless girl?"

He pauses and then adds;

"It would be my pleasure to show you around, of course… and there's nobody better to do so"

His pale eyes sparkled for a moment as he slipped her a quiet wink, blood secretly frothing with the idea that he might find out more about her.

"From the ruins of a beautiful place, a place you would envy if you had the chance to see." Reichenbach would never know the nature of her lies, right? This was nothing serious, a mere passing crush, sudden and nothing lasted forever right? The girl threw her coal colored locks from her face, catching his wink and grinning like some sort of madman, flustered by his gesture but not detered in anyway from wanting his advances and wanting his attention. The days of loneliness were suddenly a true past, she was now living in the present. Maybe even the future? Could that be possible for them, two wanderers happening to cross paths? A girl who is a liar, and a boy with a big heart and a pretty face. Tierney can regret lying, but not now. She is excited. Something that is woken from a once slumber, wakes her up, makes her bat her lashes in his direction.

The girl lets her storm blue eyes rest on his face, nodding in agreement, chuckling airily and letting the heiress crown be thrown atop her head. Tierney takes high steps to dance at his side, mahogany skin brushing agains his own, lips lingering over his cheek for a split second. "Show me your world then, Reichenbach. Let me see you."
