It had only been a few days since that scent had vanished from the fishbowl, but as Riku walked... it made him stop in his tracks once more. Weakened once more by battle, he was a little weary of it. Was his senses playing a trick on him, or was the man before him truly...
A faint smile crossed his lips. No, his nose would not lie about something such as this.
"Time may pass and appearances might change, but like the heart our scents remain the same." Riku's smile was as genuine as the gold locket around his neck as he wrapped his arms around the other halfling. "Good to see you again, Adrian."
Adrian stirred as he felt warm, strong arms curl around him. What a comforting feeling, it felt like the long lost embrace of everyone he had ever loved, cradling him in the dark. He breathed in deeply, exhaling his cool breath slowly. His whole body seemed stiff, as if he had been slumbering for hundreds of years before this moment.
A familiar voice echoing in his ears as his dark eyes began to open.
That was his name the dark was calling to him, he knew that voice, it had brought him much joy, speaking with it.
The suddenly, like a revelation, he knew who that voice belonged to and he gasped quietly.
Riku smirked faintly, pulling away slightly to look into Adrian's eyes. The change in appearance was like day to night, but he knew that gasp. It had only been a few days for him, but judging by Adrian's attire...
His eyes seemed to light up in the darkness.
"Time's a fickle thing in this bubble. How've you been, my friend?"
Like he'd admit that he had she a tear when he realized Adrian's name disappeared from the SFC listing.
Adrian smiled gently; a forlorn and distant smile, but a caring one nonetheless. He had missed Riku, the strange boy who longed to exist in the light, but was constantly magnetized to the darkness.
"For me, many years have passed since my absence, but you look no older than you did the last time I saw you... And I feel myself an old man in a young body, yet, when I look at this place it seems like a single day hasn't passed."
Riku listened with with a guarded smile, listening to the halfling as he spoke. He can tell it has been quite a long time for Adrian, perhaps even centuries. It had been a while since he last spoke with Adrian, but not nearly as long as it had been for the other.
"It's only been a few days here in Vatheon, though you did miss a few things..." For instance, Christmas, a rescue mission, and his darkness was more under control.
"Well, in any case, it is good to see you again my friend. I had feared I would never be able to speak to you again." and that thought had saddened Adrian deeply.
Riku chuckled faintly under his breath, reaching into his pocket. "Vatheon always does seem to surprise us no matter how prepared we are for what it could throw at us." What he was looking for his found, and he smirks. Now he's handing Adrian a small gift; inside he'll find a bat charm. "You just missed Christmas, by the way."
A faint smile crossed his lips. No, his nose would not lie about something such as this.
"Time may pass and appearances might change, but like the heart our scents remain the same." Riku's smile was as genuine as the gold locket around his neck as he wrapped his arms around the other halfling. "Good to see you again, Adrian."
