My All is in the Form of You

The Djinn and the golden light

[The forest Fae but in reverse. To which the architect that got lost in the woods will stay forever lost due to an infatuation from its owner.]

-

The forest of Volans is known for the many dangerous wildlife that resides in it. The thick lush of green covers the entirety of the woods giving it a cozy yet dark atmosphere. Like a room ready to be slept on. So inviting.

It's calling Kaveh's name like a lullaby.

'I'm lost... ' Thought the blonde man as he walked past the beautiful area filled of padisarahs. The city of Sumeru is accross this woods. Or so what the locals told the architect.

His client who was enamoured with the city of wisdom decided to stay there for good and therefore commissioning for the architect to see the place where his blueprints would come alive.

Truth be told there was really no need for the man to be there seeing as he has already been there once, but the glee and joy evident on his client's letter was something Kaveh couldn't say no to. He was at the desert when he received the letter and decided use the closer route to directly head to the city instead of passing by to his home in Ghandara Ville. The local points him at the shortcut which was the forest telling him to follow a certain path to which the blonde pay close attention to.

And still manage to lose his way.

The man sighed as he look at his notes, one that he took when he was listening to the local's instructions.

"Where the hell is this?!" Albeit angry and frustrated, the blonde's voice was never raised both in fear of whatever creature he will disturb and respect for those who resides in the place.

Suddenly a rustling can be heard from across the blonde man. The bushes a few steps away from him moved.

He gulped.

Did he awaken some of the forest's dwellers?

Although the fear is evident for the man not knowing whether awoken creature would be a docile one or an aggressive one there was also a sense of shame knowing he caused a disturbance at a place he just passed by.

He considers it rude if people were to do that so it was only natural for him to act in accordance to what he held as proper.

The bush rustled a bit more before a baby fox jumped out.

"...Oh!" Was the delayed reaction of the blonde as his eyes met the forest critter.

"Did I disturb your sleep? I'm sorry." Kaveh rummage through his briefcase before pulling out an apple. "Have this as my apology."

He gently placed the apple down and slowly backed away for the fox to get close. Not long after that the small fox took the fruit and look up at him. His eyes sparkled before the fox eyes turned above Kaveh. And with a courteous bow, it scurried away.

"Huh?"

"I'm assuming you still have enough food in your pockets if you have the generosity to spare some of your meal with others."

"AHHH!" With a swing of his briefcase Kaveh fell back with the thud as his items were snatched away from him.

"Careful of where you're swinging this. It's actually heavy." Kaveh met face to face with a handsome man, teal eyes gazing at his case while his teal highlighted grey hair swayed as he move his head while inspecting the case.

"I-I'm really sorry! I was so surprised I-" Kaveh was frantic, he immediately stood up to cup the man's face around his hand and check for any signs of injury. "I didn't hurt you didn't I?"

The man could only observe the worried look plastered on the blonde man's face before he let out a sigh.

"I'm fine. Who are you anyway?"

"I should be the one asking that you know!" The blonde didn't respond and instead let out an annoyed huff. "You shouldn't sneak up on other people like that! What would you do if I actually inflicted an injury on you huh?!"

"I'll punish you."

"That's right you-huh?"

"Not only are you trespassing to my territory, you also harmed the owner of the forest you trespassed on. Of course I'll punish you for that." The man replied nonchalantly.
