I'm lying in the ocean, singing your song
your face is like a melody, it won't leave my head. Love—a strange and foreign thing to her. She has never known the deep emotional feeling of love. The feeling of intense care for another being other than yourself. She has never known the acts that come along with it too. The selfless acts where you would give up your whole world to be at the side of another or to even put yourself in danger too. These are all things she does not know, has never had the privilege too. However, this does not make her incapable to feel love—she could and would. Her ambers eyes are never taken off of them, especially when all three oldest of the group watch her intently. Erinys can see the surprise look in their eyes, and she does not hide her surprise either from them. She does not feel awkward standing in the light of the show right now (not that she has always wanted to be someone that does, she preferred to be in the shadows most times). After all, these were her kind (her specie). Erinys wants to smile but she remains silent, watching them carefully. She can feel her heart beating faster right now. A part of her wants to run from this. It feels like too much, especially the way they all stare at her (wide-eyed, confused, and unsure of what to do). Perhaps being brave had been the worst idea. Perhaps finding her own kind, someone like her, was not possible to ever happen. It felt like her own kind did not want her even—that was the worst feeling of all. But she was entirely wrong. The silver bay speaks first, and a strange noise echoes out of her throat. She is surprised by a word is even being spoken to her. A grin grows on her black, thin lips as each of them are introduced to her by Malfunction. It grows larger as each name is called and by the time Malfunction introduces her to Wound, the biggest grin she has ever had in her life is spread from ear to ear. When the silvery bay turns back, her grin fades though, feeling the rest of the eyes on her as well. She can see there is hesitance in the way he looks at her, but she hopes – so very badly – that this isn’t a goodbye. But, for now, it isn’t though and her grin comes running back onto her lips. “It’s all so very nice to meet you all.” The words from her sound so foreign to her. Erinys has never had a time where she spoke to someone like that. “I had to come meet you all…” she says softly, her grin fading slightly, “I too have never met anyone like myself.. like all of us.” It was truly a wonder for her to find someone like her. No, four of them! The odds of the universe allowing her to find anyone like her had always felt so very slim, and that maybe in this life (or even if there was a next one, a heaven or hell for her kind) she would never find someone like her. “Where did you all come from?” She wants to say more, but she cannot jump the gun, she cannot send them screaming for the hills just now.
