Ponderous Wonderous

Skylar watched with deep, observant eyes the frustrated young girls’ reaction to his calm nature. He gave a small smile to Shori as he introduced himself, his tanned face seemingly highlighted at the slightest crack of a smile. Sky drew his attention sharply back to Shimei as she blurted out her curiosity, hardly containing herself. The smile fell away from Skys’ face as her voice gained an octave.

Sky closed his eyes for just a moment and the night around him seemed to relax. The tension in the air dissipated and he reopened his deep eyes slowly, the small smile across his lips returning. “Miss Aoitsuki, it is a pleasure to meet you as well.” Skylar turned to Shori and gave a slight bow. Looking up through his dark blue locks he kept eye contact and stated “I am Skylar Dreylah, Shori Benitsuki, and I will see you when school starts.”

Skylar arose with poise and kept that small smile across his lips, leaving the two to wonder about his true nature. He was quite amused at the old yet young girl but left her curiosities unanswered, possibly to be answered another day. Sky was not one to give up information so quickly and because the school uniforms would designate his heritage anyway he left the girl to painfully speculate.

Sky walked away at a slow pace and took in the serenity of the night. He walked slowly enough that if Shimei really wanted to chase after him, which he wondered if she actually would, that she could catch up to him…
