Neon on black top, there's gentle rain downtown.
The shadow pooling underneath me, as it follows on the ground.

Truth be told, Saiun wasn't sure what it was he had expected when he finally saw the woman. Princess Lunafrya, whose face he just barely recalled from fragmented, fleeting moments of consciousness, but whose unexpected familiarity gave him pause, the young mage freezing in the doorway.

She looked so much like Minfillia, that for just a moment...

But she wasn't Minfillia. Her voice and her mannerisms both proved as much, and he seemed to catch himself, after that, half bowing in return. Was he supposed to do that? It wasn't as if he'd had extensive interaction with royalty over the years. He couldn't recall having ever bowed to the sultana, and Hien... Hien would just as soon have laughed in his face at the thought of it.

"Can you communicate across time and space?"

It was hard for even him to tell if he meant it in seriousness or not. Even with the pain a distant memory, his body and mind still felt exhausted, and he bit down on his tongue almost sharply enough to taste blood. It wasn't as if she or her people would have any more answers for how he'd arrived there than he did, or any means to contact the only two entities he could think of to get him back home. He stepped fully into the room, shutting the door quietly behind him.

"No, I'm- My apologies. That's a bad joke." Back up. Try again, with a little less of a clipped tone and little more of the reason he had sought her out in the first place. "I was told that you were the one who found me, and I... I wanted to thank you, for bringing me here."

A slight surprise took her face at his question. Communication over space and time? If she could, it was certainly something that she was unaware of. She turned and crossed the way to the couch in the sitting area of her quarters. One hand raised, making a gesture for him to join her.

"In truth, it was one of the servants of the palace that found you. As well as Pryna." A nod was given to the white dog curled up asleep by the balcony door. "As to the question you say was a joke... I do not believe I can. However, I might ask if someone I know can."

Gentiana perhaps could. She was more than a mere Messenger. A secret kept between the two of them as well as a pact that Gentiana would aid the King of Light when it came to it. Lunafreya glanced to the side with a small nod. She would ask on behalf of the wayward man.

"Tenebrae may be under the occupation of the Empire, but, these walls will always remain a place of healing so long as I am here." Lunafreya's tone said she would fight for what she spoke. Even against her brother. "Tell me of yourself, Saiun."
