you say I'm crazy, but I think I'm freaking amazing.
He can feel the calm that was settling through the mare in front of him. It radiates into the space surrounding them leaving him with a sort of peace. He had forgotten how calmly meeting a new face could go after his period of isolation. Though it was quite nice to have such a relaxing return. The way her smile is shown in her words keeps his own smile dancing across his lips as he listens to her gentle voice and kind words.
He had never been the type to bring harm to those that surrounded him. Rather the opposite. His main goal was to lift those who had a lack of confidence or worries about the world into a higher place with a higher confidence. Fennick had been the first, and then Cress. He had led them both into positions that made them uncomfortable but made them prove to themselves that they were indeed possible of great things despite prior beliefs.
It's definitely what had separated him from the previous leaders of the Valley. A kind mind and patient personality with a strong belief in his peers was much different then the short tempered kings and queens of the past. It was in a way, what helped him to make a mark whenever he was around. All of this was the reason that he approached Chalmette with such care, making sure not to be forceful in his words and respectful in his actions. He knew, like the rest she was just as capable of anyone else. Even with the skeletons that haunted her.
It is when she reaches out and touches her nose to his that he chuckles softly and breathes in her scent in sync before pulling back slowly and grinning. "I have had much practice. But I appreciate your help very much." his voice is calm as he remembers for a fleeting moment his weeks of hiding in the back of the Valley as he got used to navigating the world without his eyes. Those weeks had been the hardest. The struggle of a loss of a gift that had once made him whole and filled the emptiness in his heart, and the struggle of the loss of his eyesight had been two things he had to heal from and get past.
There was nothing like the loss of a part of you. In a way you could say his loss was as great as the pain Chalmette was running from. But he would never compare, no. Because it was no use. As for even the smallest things can be the biggest to some and the smallest to others and so he knew he would never be able to compare or decide which was as great or more so than the other. He tilts his head slightly in curiosity when she begins to speak once more, obviously deciding against what she was going to follow her words up with and patiently he waited for her to continue.
He knew that now wasn't the time to ask, but he was curious. Curious about what her story held in the dark corners of her mind. He had always been the curious type. Wanting to learn about all those he came across. Though he understood deep down she wasn't ready, and silently he noted that when the time came in the future, he should ask her what her story was. Unlike most, he'd love to hear it. No matter how sad and dark it was.
It's her chuckle that breaks him from these thoughts, and with a raise of the brow curiously. "Ah, I too have been there. Not really sure of what exactly I'm doing, where I'm going..." Gently he bites his bottom lip in thought before continuing, "But I've come to find that strangers can sometimes lead us in the most exciting of directions." He pauses for a moment, allowing the sound of the wind to dance between them before continuing. "To answer your question, I am here in search of finding some new faces for the kingdom I live in. My first intention was just to troop around and try to find something to do, practice my getting around... But I figured a bit of an activity would help."
His smile is awkward and with a soft roll of the shoulders he shrugs slightly. "I used to be much better at this you know. I think the loss of my sight was a bit humbling on the confidence." He chuckles once more. "But to explain, I approached you wondering if you were in search of a place to call home. Even if just temporary... I figured if you were up to it, I could show you my home, The Valley and see if you'd like it enough to stay." As his words ended it was then he noticed another approaching, his head turning towards the other mare in slight surprise. He hadn't been expecting a third party but such was the ways of the field. Great possibilities always brought multiple offers.
And though the approaching mare recognized him, he could say he recognized her. He had never met Yael, not personally and hadn't heard much in his time as king. Though he was sure he would of enjoyed meeting her with her shiny appearance and unusual accent. It is when she introduces herself that he nods softly in greeting. "It's quite alright, Yael, I do not mind." He smile is genuine as he tilts his head slightly. "I'm Demian, and this here is Chalmette." He has the distinct feeling he doesn't need to introduce himself, but he does so anyway out of respect and the norm of pleasantries.
Her spritely vigor is a nice add to Chalmette and Demian's happy atmosphere and growing quiet he allows Chalmette to speak for herself, patiently welcoming Yael into their small group.
