tempting_the_fatesNyx watched Hex go, waiting a beat before turning and headed back towards the remains of what had once been a village.
He wandered quietly at first, poking around in the remains of buildings, and inspecting things he found discarded. There was a sadness here. Something broken. Lost. He could taste it in the air, like chalk and dust.
"Are you still here?" he called out. "You must be, I feel eyes on me. Come out. Come speak."

Date: 2024-07-06 01:56 am (UTC)Nyx slept for some time, eventually waking and rolling closer.
"Hungry," he said, nudging Willy a bit, then nipping at his bare shoulder.
no subject
Date: 2024-07-06 02:05 am (UTC)Willy slowly opened his eyes and smiled at Nyx.
"What would you like to eat?" he asked, rolling to push Nyx down into the cushions so he could indulge in a slow kiss.
no subject
Date: 2024-07-06 02:13 am (UTC)Nyx purred excitedly at the kiss, and the feeling of Willy's weight pushing him down. For a moment his stomach seemed far less important.
"Something sweet," he rumbled.
no subject
Date: 2024-07-06 02:15 am (UTC)"I have sweets," he nodded, but made no move to fetch any.
Nyx was sweet enough, and Willy was enjoying tasting his lips and neck and body.
no subject
Date: 2024-07-06 02:20 am (UTC)"As sweet as me?" Nyx asked with a little grin, his hands sliding down Willy's chest.
no subject
Date: 2024-07-06 02:24 am (UTC)"None as sweet as you," he promised. "Nothing close..."
Both arms wound around him again, holding Nyx close enough to feel the rhythm of his heart.
no subject
Date: 2024-07-06 02:30 am (UTC)Nyx purred louder, nuzzling at Willy's neck and jaw.
"You are sweet too. I will visit as often as I can," he promised.
no subject
Date: 2024-07-06 02:43 am (UTC)"I fear for you in the heat," he said softly. "Come any time you like."
He gave him one more lazy kiss before rising to slip on a gown and find Nyx sweet treats.

Date: 2024-07-06 02:48 am (UTC)Tugging on his tunic, Nyx stretched and then followed along.
"Our homes are cold, they blow false wind, chilled by machines," he explained.
no subject
Date: 2024-07-06 03:48 am (UTC)"Chilled by machines?" Willy asked curiously. "I think I would like to see such a thing."
The same foods emerged, plates of cakes and pies and berries and glass sweets. He laid them before Nyx with a smile.
"Perhaps I will come to your village."
no subject
Date: 2024-07-06 12:07 pm (UTC)"You could, I would show you around," Nyx offered with a little shrug, examining the foods on offer, and wondering what to try first.
no subject
Date: 2024-07-07 12:32 am (UTC)Willy nudged some bright pink bit of fruit his way.
"What are they like? Those who fell with you?" he asked.
no subject
Date: 2024-07-07 12:35 am (UTC)"Boring. ...But nice, mostly," Nyx said. "Hex is interesting, Robin is fun, but most the others are dull," Nyx said, having a nibble.
no subject
Date: 2024-07-07 12:40 am (UTC)Willy wrinkled his nose at that news. Dull. Too much here was dull.
Nyx was brilliant, though. And if this Hex and Robin were as interesting, perhaps he could have a few new playmates in his collection...
"I will come and meet them," he decided.
no subject
Date: 2024-07-07 12:55 am (UTC)Nyx sort of liked having this all be his secret, and he frowned a bit.
"Why? You have all you need here."
no subject
Date: 2024-07-07 12:57 am (UTC)"Hardly. I need many things. I do not have a cold wind machine," he said. "I do not have chocolate."
no subject
Date: 2024-07-07 01:02 am (UTC)"Do I not sate you?" he asked, tilting his head and frowning slightly.
no subject
Date: 2024-07-07 01:06 am (UTC)"Sated? I will never be sated," he replied. "There will always be new and interesting things. And I will have them, you see."
no subject
Date: 2024-07-07 01:10 am (UTC)"Oh," Nyx said, Willy's words taking away some of the shine. He didn't like being part of a collection, he wanted to be a crown jewel.
Hex would never make him feel like he was anything less.
"I'm bored, I will leave now," he decided.
no subject
Date: 2024-07-07 01:24 am (UTC)"Must you? I could cure your boredom," he offered.
"You could stay. They won't miss you yet, surely "
no subject
Date: 2024-07-07 01:26 am (UTC)"They miss me always, because they know I am special," Nyx said adjusting his tunic with a little huff.
no subject
Date: 2024-07-07 01:30 am (UTC)"Special?" Willy asked curiously.
"More special than the others?"
His gaze grew uncomfortably sharp.
"Why?"
no subject
Date: 2024-07-07 01:34 am (UTC)"Because I am. I am the last of my kin, and I am a prince. I am special," Nyx insisted, as if he needed it to be true to be happy.
no subject
Date: 2024-07-07 01:46 am (UTC)"That does make you special," he agreed, smiling with too many teeth.
Suddenly, a wind machine and chocolate were of the least possible interest.
no subject
Date: 2024-07-07 01:49 am (UTC)Nyx puffed up with pride.
"Anyway, it is nearly lunch, I like to have my lunch at the bar. I will see you tomorrow maybe."
