[ but a moment. in a few steps, viktor is beside the girl. the tray, pushed aside. he gains her attention with the lightest touch. words are exchanged. the girl's sobbing slows. injured hands, presented. a flick of fingers and aether swirls. a sparkle of his Mother's Light pressed to reddened palms, soothing, chilling. new flowers, aether lilies, white touched with red, sprout and open in viktor's air, at his ears. a sin eater, still.
he plucks the one that grows at the nape of his neck and holds it out in offering. goads a smile out of the girl as she takes it, peering curiously at the softly glowing petals. viktor stands. a few more words. then he turns, points right at fandaniel, and the girl giggles.
there, they part. viktor strolls away, arms stretched lazily over his head as he returns to fandaniel's side. ]
All better. Foment any new d-dark and wicked plots while I was busy? Or just working on that appetite?
[Fandaniel watches as Viktor approaches the girl and speaks to her. New flowers blossom along his hair, a curious sight that the Ascian isn't sure he understands.
After a moment he lifts his gaze to study the high walls of Radz-at-Han, covered in glittering mosaics and brilliant silk tapestries, all of which might as well be overcast in gray for all the beauty they hold to him.
A particular mosaic catches his eye, depicting three dancing figures that he recognizes as the triple goddess the locals call the Magus Sisters. What are you three so damnably happy about?
He looks back to the fountain in time to see Viktor point him out to the girl, who giggles in response.]
Oh, nothing so dark and wicked you need to worry about it just yet.
[Fandaniel has to lift his chin as the Warrior of Light returns to his side, just to meet the taller man's gaze.]
I hope whatever joke you just made at my expense was a funny one.
