adramelekh:

“I’ve been in a deeper hole than that to be honest. It’s not always convenient, though one does the best with the colours at one’s disposal.” The hole in the air moves the shape of a hand against the red tie, almost the only point of contrast or indication of depth on the being. 

“Sorry if I have unnerved you- As good as I think I’d look in sculpt, I can’t afford to be late for tomorrow’s ten a.m.” The grin spreads a little. “I’m afraid we’re on rather an uneven standpoint. I know who you are, but I’ve not been polite enough to introduce myself. Adramelekh, Ma’am.” He gives the slightest of bows with supplicated hands, a gesture to show he is eager to be in good standing with her.

         She watched him carefully from behind dark shades, but it was as difficult as it was to see in the darkness from behind sunglasses. One look around to be sure no one was passing through the suburban park and she flipped up her shades, revealing bright red eyes. A quiet yet sharp intake of breath and a slight rustling from beneath her wig was the only indication of the slight terror upon realizing his form was completely of shadows, including his apparel. “Oh my, you’re uglier than I thought. Poor thing.” 

           With nonchalance, she looked away, though a smile curled at the corner of her lips at his show of respect. Though she was still on guard, it was clear he wasn’t going to do anything stupid, otherwise he might have done so already. “Need something, Sweets?”
