[ Reyson is currently in the cafeteria. Things were quiet, so he'd taken a moment to relax and .. enjoy the view. The windows here were large, and he frequented this area, because it provided the best view of the sky, in his opinion. There were larger windows on the lower floors, but they were so close to the ground that most of the view was

[ Akari is done scolding Luke off-duty for the moment, and happens to wander by and catch sight of the person with wings staring out the window at the sky. Intriguing. She smiles a little and walks over. ]

You look like a caged bird.

[prince_of_skies]

[ If that was supposed to be a neutral comment, it's backfired; Reyson's expression tightens into a scowl, and he stares harder at a passing clode. ] Why yes, I suppose I do.

[queenofhealers]

[ She stands next to the bench, thinking she probably isn't welcome to sit at the moment. ] It wasn't meant to be an insult. I was reminded a bit of myself, actually. [ She looks out at the clouds as well. ]

[prince_of_skies]

[ Unfortunately for her, he took it as an insult; but it dissolved after a moment, and he sighed, following her gaze to the sky. ]

Oh?

[queenofhealers]

My family was... rather controlling. I didn't get out much for a long time... Long enough that I suppose I didn't even realize what I was missing until I had it.

[prince_of_skies]

[ Yes, he can definitely understand that. ] .. oh. I'm very sorry to hear it.

[queenofhealers]

Yes, well, it's all in the past now...

[queenofhealers]

... And I only told you that so you wouldn't be insulted, okay?

[prince_of_skies]

Oh.

[queenofhealers]

I don't just tell my past to anyone, alright? So consider yourself privileged to hear even a bit of it.

[prince_of_skies]

.. I don't see why I would have reason to tell anyone, but, you have my word.

[queenofhealers]

That's not...

...

Never mind.

[prince_of_skies]

[ He touches his fingers to his forehead and sighs, then turns to look at her. ] I'm sorry, I am .. distracted.

And forgive my manners -- I am Reyson; I'm not sure that we've formally met?

[queenofhealers]

Oh. Well, I'm Akari. Hello there, Reyson.

[prince_of_skies]

[ He lets his chin rest against his knuckles. ] I suppose we'll be seeing a fair amount of each other.

[queenofhealers]

Yes, I suppose so.

... You work entirely inside the Tower?
