19. symmetry
[attr="class","kikstart-post"]

It's strange, to see it. Ozias hadn't grown up with a mirror in the house, only reflections in ponds or puddles in city streets. Despite it all, he stands in front of one in the wash room of a man with more money than sense. He had some need for him. A cleric of the Lady of Death, so he had worded it. So few knew of his allegiances, it was almost surprising.
[break][break]
At least it had been, until pieces started to fall into place. An offhanded mention of a captain, of a statue his mother had only spoken about at bedtime. Those stories were far away, even as he looked out into the courtyard where the statue of his other parent stood. The wealthy man that had called upon him knew... something.
[break][break]
That was more terrifying than anything.
[break][break]
Pale eyes drag back to the mirror, to the symmetry of his nose. To just how closely it resembles the statue. The scar on his lips ruins it, so does the quirk of one brow. How they never look quite even. Perhaps he's more of his mother, then. It's not like Ozias had ever truly gotten to know.
[break][break]
His features are sharp, all pointed edges. Not truly symmetrical, nor the perfect vision most see high elves to be. No, he's always carried more of his mother. That's the nature of drow, even if it comes from tainted blood. Another breath, in and out. His chest moves, steady. There's a twig in his hair, a frizz to all of it either way.
[break][break]
Nothing about his appearance is pristine, nor kempt. He is not of symmetry, only that of the dark. Perhaps it will be enough, for today. For whatever will be asked of him. Perhaps this is as 'freshened up' as is possible.

6. how have you been?
[attr="class","kikstart-post"]
[attr="class","kikstart-post-2"]
[attr="class","kikstart-post-3"]

It had been nearly a hundred years since he'd been in the same room as his sister, although there wasn't a thing in the world that could've stopped him from recognizing her in an instant. Even with his vision fairing worse most days, a flood of relief hits in waves. It begins with calling her name, again when she turns to look, and finally with the way she runs in his direction.
[break][break]
Ozias clung to her the moment she was close, barely managing to catch his twin as she barreled into him. She's quick to tears in a way he had never been, simply holding her close. All he felt was intense relief, like he could finally drop the tension in his shoulders. Like he could finally release a breath he'd been holding all this time.
[break][break]
"How have you been?" The question comes through a sniffle, although he imagines it's not entirely just him. They always found each other in places the Raven Queen thrived. He had been drawn to the village to assist with the deaths, while she had been brought to protect the lives of the soldiers who Lady Luck smiled upon.
[break][break]
She breaks away from the hug just enough to look up at him, and he merely offered the same reassuring smile he always had with her. It was specially hand crafted from when they were still children. "I've lived this long, haven't I? What about you?" Death was calm, while life was energetic and passionate. Almost like the sun and the moon, they were twins primarily by looks. In everything else, they were opposites. Compliments to one another, serving both aspects of their Queen.
[break][break]
While he took the silence of a morgue calmly, Ariadne took to the lively and ever flooded medical tent. Temporary, in place for those fighting. A revolution was never quiet, nor without blood or casualties. Her teary-eyed smile is the only answer he needs.
[break][break]
It's much harder on her than him. The dead don't exactly speak to him, nor connect with him in those small moments. One last squeeze is granted before he spun around to give her a noogie in a headlock, a reminder in it's own way that there was still work to be done. "We'll have more time later, go on. No more tears."

28. hero
[attr="class","kikstart-post"]
[attr="class","kikstart-post-2"]
[attr="class","kikstart-post-3"]

It's Ariadne that gets pulled in by the idea of a revolutionary. Big grandiose ideas of heroism, someone who fights injustice at every turn. It's no wonder she wanted to help them. Himself, on the other hand- it's not quite as convincing. In their travels, their paths had clearly diverged. Her trust in people around them versus his own hesitations held stark contrast against one another. The only reason he'd even arrived was because he heard of a drow cleric around that wasn't himself.
[break][break]
A part of him is still all too convinced that this war is going to end soon.
[break][break]
Kio'ro Kysai is confident and proud and so convincing even with a bruised cheek and a bloody lip. Damn handsome, too. Enough that in better circumstances, he would've tried to chat him up. It didn't stop his sister from looking at him with stars in her eyes.
[break][break]
But this was going to end very, very badly. It felt like something he so inherently knew to be true. He had tended to their makeshift morgue, had seen their losses. Ariadne got to heal and inspire, but he understood that most of them would end up with him soon enough. Their fearless leader had mentioned a big push soon, which only spelled death.
[break][break]
Ozias knew that Kio'ro's sister must see the same signs as him with how she paced. They whispered to one another in a darker corner afterwards, but he didn't need to hear it to understand. She was a healer, like them. Not built for combat, unlike them. She would only be able to watch her brother throw his life away in the next coming days.
[break][break]
He was fairly certain he heard her cursing at her God later into the night, as he passed by her tent.
[break][break]
On the day of, he merely waits. This isn't his battle to fight, and so his talents remain to the morgue. It's solemn, a silence that only death knows. The silence is only interrupted by the true essence of life. Ariande is the one to tell him the news, bursting into the tent with tears in her eyes. Kio'ro Kysai has been captured. He is to be hung in town square. A town square where the rest of his family lives, where a mother and father will have to see their eldest son die.
[break][break]
Pale eyes close, a deep breath taken. "We've done all we can then, Ari. It's time to go."

The stairs creak under his feet. Pale eyes look down to the dirt coating them, another reminder of the journey he's taken. All to come here, all to be faced with the same dilemma. Elves don't take well to seeing a drow; this is known to him. Deeply known. This elf wants something from him, sees value in him that can be used to his advantage. That's the only reason he's being tolerated. It makes his skin crawl.
[break][break]
He knows something about his parents, has leverage. There's a plan here, so what in the hells is it? It's frustratingly close to piecing itself together, like something on the tip of his tongue- There isn't enough time.
[break][break]
Each boot feels ten times louder than it actually is once they hit the bottom of the staircase. Murmurs from the living space stop. Expecting him, because that's what high society did with guests. Even ones they merely wanted to use. Ozias took a deep breath before walking into the space, expression as neutral and calm as possible. He wasn't usually the best at wearing masks.
[break][break]
Another figure has joined the Lord. One with horns and a tail, and a handsome face- which is enough to shock him. A tiefling, in a city full of elves that couldn't bear to see a drow. It either confirms that outsiders simply get used in cities such as these, or is supposed to be seen as a comfort. To put him at ease, falsely or truthfully. "This is Lysander, I do hope you'll agree to allow him to join you."
[break][break]
Looking at Lysander, there's a chill. Not out of fear, but simply... at a lack of anything. There was nothing behind his eyes, expression not even bored. Simply... blank. It was unnerving. "Join me? Will I be needing company for a chat?"
[break][break]
"No, dear boy. But you will be needing it to get through the Upper city tonight. You've created a target on your back, you know." Pale eyes squint, dragged away from the Lord back to Lysander. The tiefling offers a polite shrug in turn, a near apologetic smile. "Having company to ensure no one stabs you in the back is better than getting stabbed, no?"
[break][break]
Adding a voice like that to the mix only further confuses that unnerving feeling from earlier. It's silky, like honey. The emptiness before is replaced by what feels like an attempt at playfulness. At coy. There's an underlying current still, but saying no to a generous offer could get him killed. "... thank you- to both of you, then."
