[Log - Who's there?]

[darrynmiquiztli]

The room had no windows, which was unusual for anything that Darryn requested. From his Scintillian background he always wanted large windows, stained glass and generally set high into the ceilings or spanning the whole walls.

This room had not a single window though, but it was still light inside. Darryn had crafted a sun from his own light and power - just a small one, that would fit between his hands, but it lit the entire room and hung high in the ceiling.

It was also filled with sand that Darryn had crafted. Piles of it that filled every corner of the room, sometimes crawled as high as the ceiling. In the sand Darryn could use his magic, create a swirling vision of Phosphorumbra to look over, or more specific parts of the whole world.

He was doing that now, sat cross legged on the floor with a small swirling whirlwind of sand that showed him the city of Lamsence which he gazed at even while he heard the door behind him open.

"Something you need?" He asked, gesturing at the sand so that it took his view back, to take in Passiada state as a whole.

"To be perfectly honest," Darryn moved over to Maurice and bent slightly, speaking in a low confidential tone. "... I'm not. They keep going on whether I watch or not."

Maurice let out a small giggle, using the moment of closeness to wrap his arms around Darryn's neck and pull him into a hug. He held on just a little too long, hiding his face against the demi god's shoulder while he steadied his nerves.

Darryn slowly slid his arms around Maurice's middle, giving the smaller man a gently tightening squeeze. He said nothing, just held him close.

Maurice held on a little longer, taking another deep breath then pulling away and looking into Darryn's eyes, controlling himself.

"Sorry. I'm in one of those moods. Not quite a lock myself away mood but, more a sort of need a hug from a positive being mood."

"That's fine. Not like I've not come to you with that problem a million times, right?" Darryn gave Maurice a gentle smile. "Kind of happy that you chose to come to me, actually. Flattered I mean... not happy. Man, I'm terrible at this.

"Do you want to sit for a while?"

[mem_more_mihs]

"Yes please," Maurice smiled. "and of course I came to you. You are a good friend."

The sand shifted up and curled itself into a soft sandy couch.

"I only try and return what you give me, you know." Darryn
wrapped his arm around Maurice's shoulders, giving him a squeeze.
