11 ♐ Patience, n. A minor form of dispair, disguised as a virtue

Who: Darkleer and anyone/everyone
When: Saturday, starting in the morning and lasting far into the night
Where: The plaza
Style: Any, will follow
Status: Open

He wakes up that morning feeling... calm, in a way. No, calm isn't the word. Darkleer isn't quite sure what his feelings are doing, but it isn't something objectionable. It's almost hardly noticeable as he goes about a regular morning minus two adolescent highbloods. And at some point, he finds himself needing to leave the hive on some minor errand, something he could do at a later time but he simply decides to get it out of the way sooner. It brings him towards the area of the plaza...

And in the plaza, by the sprawling mass of the coral Lamufao, he pauses.

In his memories, he recalls someone who would lazily sprawl against him and drawl out things to tease him. He remembers a warm shoulder beneath his palm who'd lean against him now and then. Darkleer remembers other people, people who have never been here but he thinks maybe there's a slim chance they could be...

Deciding that his errand can wait for now- it isn't going anywhere, Darkleer knows- he goes over to one of the benches in the center of the plaza and takes a seat.

That's where he stays the entire day, and well into the night, just watching and waiting. He has a very long life, after all.

A long life and so much patience.

[Sola looks up at Darkleer at the gesture, unsure at whether it's an offer of comfort for him or the seeking of it for the Troll. And then he realizes it doesn't matter.

Sola takes Darkleer's hand, curling his smaller fingers into the much larger palm.

And waits.]
