Sam hadn't ever been to the salt desert, but if he did, he imagined this is how hot it would be. His hood was pulled low, and though it was sweltering within the cloak itself, it was more shade and relief than he would get with it down.
He bumps into someone, accidentally makes eye contact before casting his eyes downwards. "Sorry." He mutters before continuing on his way.

A sun, sweltering as in the desert, hangs high in the midday sky. Its warm rays fall down on the world enveloping in warmth. He smiles to himself was he walks along the nearly empty road. He pulls his cloak tighter around him as if to keep in the warmth of the sun. If only he could fly, then everything would be right in the world. He is small, growth stunted by years spent in a cage. The man who walks into him sends him to the ground. Their eyes meet a moment; black sclera’s catching his attention. Another like him, a monster? Excitement bubbles in his chest, urging him to his feet and after the man. He parts his lips to speak, but no words come. He doesn’t know what to say. SAMUEL ETTEM |

He doesn't notice the sound of the boy following him, not until a little later, when the repetitive pitter-patter of feet hasn't yet gone away. From then it is just a matter of sensing him, hyper-aware of his presence that won't leave him alone.
He stops, turns around and lifts an eyebrow. "Did you need something?"

The cloaked man’s halt is so abrupt that Fintan nearly walked into him. If he were walking any faster than he was, he would have. But now he stood face to face with this man. He could see the red eyes and the black sclera which had attracted his interest. It seemed strange for a monster to have such obvious signs of its heritage now that Fintan had a moment to think on it. “Are you a monster?” The words burst from his mouth before his second guessing can put a stop to him. His face flushes with color at once. “I.. um… I mean…Your eyes.”SAMUEL ETTEM |

sam is used to getting questions, especially ones like this - usually from a small child that's keep their curiosity under wraps. it didn't feel much different from now, in fact. he pauses, lets his eyes judge the boy and watch him squirm under his gaze. he doesn't quite feel like being rude. "that's not something you ask a stranger in a city built on champions."FINTAN |

Now he knows he’s made a mistake in his hast. Even little mistakes will prove fatal, especially to the likes of him. “I’m sorry.” He muttered, averting his eyes so he stared at the cobbled path. “I didn’t mean any offense. I was just curious about your eyes. They are unusual.”He wonders if he can play off the role of innocent beggar, who merely didn’t know his place. But he already fears he has condemned himself with his loose tongue and desire to find another comrade among the humans. SAMUEL ETTEM |

sam looks him up and down, a pang of pity striking him. maybe he shouldn't have been so blunt—the kid looked genuinely curious, after all. "my mother dealt with some bad magic when she was with child." he said by way of explanation. voicing the exact effect it had had on him was always difficult, so he left it at the. the boy couldn't be so dense as to be unable to connect the dots.

“So you’re cursed?” There is a disappointment underlying his curiosity. He had hoped he was a monster when he approached. The fact that he hadn’t meet another monster on the street makes him feel lonelier than before. “Didn’t you try to get it removed?”Fintan doesn’t care much for witches, salt witches in particular.

"of course i did." sam isn't sure why he's bothering at this point—he feels like that should have been obvious. that or this boy was just dense. "not all curses are that easy to remove, you know.""why do you care?" he crosses his arms, tempted to glamour his eyes right then and there if it'll make he boy stop asking questions. FINTAN |

Another stupid question? another surge of annoyance. Fintan pulls his threadbare hood up over his white hair. His face is burning with the heat of his mistake. If he could disappear, he would. "I guess you're right. Witches are tricky with their curses." And he knows that for a fact. Isn't this cycle of rebirth everyone is becoming aware merely a curse? It's one to the phoenix, robbed of this rebirth unless bound to a human who's aim was their death. "I'm sorry."How could he ever say why he cares? It'd certainly condemn him if he spoke the truth. But lies are easier. Always easier. "I'm cursed to."SAMUEL ETTEM |

samuel softened slightly at the boy's apology. a slight smoothing of the wrinkles by his by his eyes, on his forehead. not much, really. he raised an eyebrow. it wasn't as if cursed individuals weren't commonplace. it was just that sam hadn't ever met one in shara, let alone one that would admit to it. in sam's case, he had little choice. "how so?" he asked. "if you don't mind me inquiring. it's only fair, since you asked me."FINTAN |

the tension released in the smoothing of the man's brow, and the relieved exhale from fintan's lips. "it's nothing the eye can see," he begins, rubbing the back of his white head. "more of a concept, really." and he draws up on his well of lies to add another one. his existence, even the face he wears, is painted in lies. lies made so he can survive. "anything bad that can happen will. in the beginning, i thought i was just unlucky, but it seems misfortune is drawn to me, a curse of bad luck." was that believable? the small phoenix wasn't sure. he didn't care either. it was close to the truth, close enough but not. he was likely never to meet this man again.
