daemon: zeymahd; video

[drehnifusbahi]

[Vanyel has apparently gotten his daemon's cooperation for a change, because the first panning shot (several different maps, all in the same blue ink, apparently showing an island off the coast of Xistentia) is slow and smooth, and Zeymahd isn't even grumbling about it.

Finally, the camera comes to rest on the latest map, ink still glistening wetly on the parchment. It holds for a long moment, as if maybe the daemon is reading over it himself. Then comes a tapping, off-screen but very close to the camera, and it swings up so that Vanyel is in the shot too.]

This is my prize from one of the fair games, evidently. [He says, then grins.] So - who's up for a bit of exploring?

If you can secure a boat, I can propel it. I can give us enough wind to get by in calmer waters.

[For a moment, Farraige looks as though he has something more to say. Deciding against asking about Rosie, he'd rather ask about Vanyel.]

You doing okay?

[drehnifusbahi]

Oh! [This is the look of a man who hadn't even considered that potential problem yet. (Look, none of his previous adventures have involved seafaring o k a y.)] Thank you, that would be a great help.

[Then comes that question, and- his grin fades, replaced by a decidedly more bittersweet expression.]

More or less.

[cantseame]

[He nods, understanding how Van feels.]

We could meet up to discuss the voyage if you like. Show you how I'm gonna do things.

[A beat, there's much he wants to say but he keeps himself restrained.]

Maybe take your mind off things for awhile?

[Because if he can focus on making Vanyel feel better he won't have to deal with his own feelings.]

[drehnifusbahi]

[He appreciates the restraint, and that offer even moreso.]

I'd like that. [He admits, offering up a brief smile. Both because he's curious about the workings of the spell in question, and because-

Well, he wouldn't say no to a distraction from his feelings, either.]

Shall we meet at the beach, then?

[cantseame]

Yeah. I'll be waiting out there. Bit closer to home for me, y'know?

[He's tired of feeling like this. Maybe helping Van with this expedition will clear things up for him.]

I can put on some tea if you'd like.

[drehnifusbahi]

I know.

[Things are better than they've been since the fair, between he and Rose, but still awkward. Which might be part of the reason he's throwing himself into this so wholeheartedly - maybe that's his version of running away.]

I would like. Thank you.

[ooc: if you want to thread this out, maybe we can take it to one of their inboxes? just for the sake of keeping things organized. ^.^]

[cantseame]

I'll be there the rest of the day. Feel free to drop by.

(ooc: Link for the inbox!)

[drehnifusbahi]

I'll be there shortly, then.
