ALIQVID IMPIVD ILLAM VIAM VENIT [Prompt]

Mt. Sorokyn roils with smoke and the Luxium responds.

The Luxium represents the upper half and primary seat of the Solunarian Capital and one of the dual-cities that comprises Solunarium Proper. Situated between the foot of the volcanic Mount Sorokyn and the wide River Vasta, this above-ground metropolis boasts five thriving districts beneath the shadow of the glorious Palatium Furiarum (The Blazing Palace) from which the Solar Court rules in splendour. This bustling metropolis is by far the most populous region in the realm and, along with its shadowy sister-city the Umbrium, houses upwards of eighty percent of the Solunarian population at any given time. During the reign of a Solar Court, every major government agency in the kingdom is headquartered in the Luxium, with the notable exception of The Silver Sentinels, the covert intelligence agency run by the House of Phaedryn-Sol’Aværys.

Æros smiled at her first sentiment, "well, I certainly do." It was a weird feeling for him to just…engage in casual conversation with others like this. Ever since he'd scuttled away from his family, almost all of his time was spent either unconscious or so blitzed he barely knew what was happening around him and, normally, he wouldn't be awake during the day…so…normal human interaction? A bit of a rarity for the Færie.

He listened as Hilana spoke more on Orks and their viability as sacrifices, he found himself ever the more interested in the idea of, perhaps, collecting one. He'd…fallen behind with his piety of late and a formidable Orkhan would probably be a worthy donation, so to speak.

"Well, should you ever acquire transport or the location of nearby Orkhan, let me know. I do have Master Mesmer; though I am no fighter, I could probably manipulate a couple into walking into the Volcano on their own." He spoke rather casually for the remarkable cruelty of the idea.

When the woman responded to his commentary regarding scent and its impact on the memory and mood, he listened to her with interest before going on to state his admiration for her skills.

"Ah, if that's the case, then whomever you received guidance from must've been rather wise. Honestly, effective teaching outside of a formal setting is an admirable skill…as is the ability to learn on one's own." For even masters of some crafts were horrid teachers.

And when he'd picked out the plant he wanted, Hilana wrote him instructions for care of the plant with her usual jovial sort of haste. Æros was fairly surprised at how low the price ended up being in truth, but he offered little comment on the matter and withdrew his wallet from the fabric of his clothes to pay. After, she thanked him.

"And thank you for your time and kindness," he replied as he gathered his things and turned to leave.

Say goodnight, to the weakness that you hide behind
Leaving the lies, leaving the fear inside
Never once were you truly alive
So scream all you like, no one can hear you
