Seth's pov.
I woke up already in the castle, in an empty room with dull grey walls and few ceilings to prevent from escaping. It didn't take me long to figure out I was in a prison cell. I sighed and looked around, only to notice someone's silhouette out of window. Curious, I tried moving the ceilings holding the window, and soon enough succeeded. I held on the walls and pushed myself to reach to it, and after slowly pushed myself out.
" Huh? Who is there? "
" Uh, me? I was just- OUCH! "The person hit me and I almost fell, but soon enough they realized their mistake and helped me get back up on my feet, though they could have done it sooner, instead of hitting me!
" Oh, I, uh, sorry? I just didn't think... Anyone would be here, I am usually alone here. "
Now that I have settled down, I could see a man wearing a cloak sitting there. His voice was masculine, but not well defined yet, so I assumed he must be around my age. He had blond curls and eyes about the same color, though it was hard to see most features considering how dark it was.
" It's a-alright. I just... Dunno, saw a random person outside and decided to climb here. "
He was now staring at me, eyes flickering with curiosity. I felt like he was trying to inspect me with the way his eyes were looking up and down on me.
" That's a stupid idea. The guards will see you, it won't end well for you if they find out a prisoner has escaped. "
" That would be the case, but, I fear I am not a prisoner, in fact, I have done nothing illegal, of course if you don't consider my looks as crime. Or stealing someone's heart, in that case I should be stuck here for a long time considering how many times I've done that. "My reply earned me a small chuckle from the man. I didn't know what exactly made me light up the mood, maybe it was because of how tired I was or because I needed to take my mind off things.
" If not a prisoner, oh mr. criminal, then what are you? Or is it a dark mystery that makes the helpless maidens fall for you? "
I didn't expect him to keep the atmosphere, but I couldn't deny the change being welcome.
" Nothing of sorts, good sir. I am a simple man, and if not the looks, then the dance shall woo the ladies! The grace of wildness is what makes my oh so dear charms undeniable! I am a performer, a great one at that, m'lord. "
I added a couple of gestures to make my introduction even more dramatic. The man was trying his best to not laugh, but failed, and we both ended up laughing at whatever ridiculousness that kept happening.
