Papers in the wind. Hotaru, Good Samaritan despite the way he speaks of people: bends to help gather the materials which seemed to spill from the professor(?)ās hands. Sometimes a rabbit doesnāt know itās crossed a lion and wanders in its den regardless. ā⦠bad weather. Ah, here you go.ā
a single second. lots can change in one Ā ā Ā an arrow might strike true, or an encounter might occur. in a single second, his attention drifted. golden irises, deep and rich like pools of ichor, glance towards the sky. it's getting later, the purplish orange hue edging the far reaches of the sky warns him. still, the sun hangs up above with unchallenged bravado. it does not shy away from the shadows; it does not fear sinking beyond the skyline Ā ā Ā it knows it will rise. it will always rise; its destined to shine, so let it do as it was destined. and in a single second, he's jealous of its certainty Ā ā Ā of such a simple fate.
papers slipped from his fingers, plucked by thieving winds, howling and cackling as they went. a soft curse, a dead word, in a foreign land Ā ā Ā slips from his lips. at the very least, none of them went far. explaining how he lost more than half of the documents pertaining to the school wouldn't have been a pleasant conversation. not that thane worries about such things. it's almost time for him to find another place, as things would have it. to see what the next school might offer Ā ā Ā he's sure his colleagues are appalled by how often he comes and goes. their job security is why they stay. however, it's the security he does not want.
the thin metal clips in his dreads clink gently as he kneels carefully, none too eager to exacerbate old wounds. everything he does is stiff Ā Ā ā Ā Ā a plain attempt at coddling discomfort. and suddenly, he's not alone, not that they crept 'pon him unseen. it's just more papers returned to his hands than he gathered himself. some of the glow in his gaze darkens if only for a moment; it's never truly gone Ā ā Ā the lambent within.
ā Ā & āā and just like that, you're my favorite student. Ā ā Ā lips curve into a mannerly smile. Ā ā Ā even if we've never met before. Ā ā Ā he straightens up, smoothing out each document, a practiced gesture. Ā ā Ā thank you. Ā ā

At the far end of the street, on my side, was the silhouette of a man, dancing. It was a strange dance, similar to a waltz, but he finished each āboxā with an odd forward stride. I guess you could say he was dance-walking, headed straight for me.
[ā¦] He was very tall and lanky, and wearing an old suit. He danced closer still, until I could make out his face. His eyes were open wide and wild, head tilted back slightly, looking off at the sky. His mouth was formed in a painfully wide cartoon of a smile.
