[spoiler]just a little something. interlude between Taken king posts. [/spoiler] [spoiler]thanks for reading![/spoiler] [u]Midnight Musings[/u] Shadow lets out a long sigh. “Ghost?” “Shadow.” His glowing blue eye casts a dim light across her carpeted floor. “Do you like Variks?” He hesitates. “Well...” Shadow turns her head to him, her pale features flushed lavender. At least this time she had the excuse of being upside down for the color in her face. “Variks is the funniest, most relatable Eliksni I've ever met.” She smiles, happy her ghost agrees. “Yeah, he is.” “That's not a hard bar to clear, I'll grant you,” Ghost adds. “But still." She stays quiet, her thoughts drifting. “Why do you ask?” Ghosts voice startles her back into reality. “Do [i]you[/i] like Variks?” Her face feels like it’s on fire. “Yeah, he’s cool.” He sits there for a moment on her nightstand, twitching. “Is that all?” “What else would there be?” She tries to hide the anxiety in her voice. “Nothing, nothing...” he replies, looking away casually. Shadow stays quiet. After a few uncomfortable moments, she closes her eyes, and pretends to sleep.
