ISRAFEL
Israfel had been expecting disappointment, maybe even to hear the sound of her new friend leaving the water and seeking more interesting company. She doesn’t know where these expectations come from, doesn’t have any poor experiences to draw on to create them. She doesn’t have any experiences at all to shape her views of the world.
Whatever the reason her thoughts assume the worst, she’s glad when he drifts closer instead of further away - when he answers her question and her golden eyes finally slide to him. He disappears, earning a quiet delighted laugh that turns a little breathless when she feels the soft touch against the bridge of her nose. Israfel’s golden eyes shine with glee when he reappears. She barely has a chance to think about how thrilled she is to have this thing in common with him before he keeps going.
And those golden eyes widen in surprise when there are two of him - her head turning between them and she jumps a little when the duplicate becomes her. Israfel takes in her golden duplicate - wondering if she’s really that pretty or if he had perfected some things.
He asks if it alarms her and she’s quiet for a moment before admitting. “A little.” but then she is quick to add “Not enough to want to go back, though.”
And then, with a smile, an eager question of her own as her golden gaze locks on his blue eyes “What else?” She doesn’t care what he answers with - whether it is more of what he can do, or more of what exists in the world. She’s hungry for it all now - eager to ignore the rapid pace of her heart as she strays so far from what she knows. But the exhilaration is as addicting as it is frightening and Israfel does not believe she’ll be able to go back at all. Not now that she’s been drawn out.
