post-game spoilers

[lightblessing]

[The Crystarium's iconic crystal domes, open plazas, winding staircases and meandering skytop pathways were no doubt been designed by a genius architect with an eye for beauty in function. In purpose, the paths provide a way to disperse foot traffic around the city, preventing congestion whether your destination is the Musica Universalis, the stalls of the Mean or the amarokeep's perch.

In practice, however, the layout serves to give newcomers intense doubts in their sense of direction and familiar visitors and residents plenty of out of the way nooks to stop and think.

The balcony above the aetheryte plaza is one such out of the way spot. From here, one can stare out into Lakeland without too much chance of running into another, unless one knows where to look. Or unless one is wearing a white dress which makes her fairly visible from the ground level as she watches the sun dip below the horizon.]

[extrarch]

[The Crystal Exarch is on his way back from the gates to Lakeland when a flicker of white in his peripheral vision catches his attention. He pauses a moment and looks up - a task made much easier by the fact that his hood is down (in the days since... everything, he's taken to leaving it down, the time for such secrecy passed). As he walks into the plaza proper, he answers one guard's greeting with one of his own and has a soft smile and a nod for assorted familiar faces he passes. But eventually he makes his way to the stairs up to the balcony. He grips the handrail as he ascends, suppressing a grimace at lingering soreness if he moves wrong; even the Tower can only speed his healing so much.

When he reaches Ryne, he steps up to the railing beside her and leans against it to look out at the twilight with her.]

Enjoying the sunset?

[lightblessing]

[If Ryne had been less occupied, she would have heard the sandals echoing on metal stairs. As it is, however, she jumps and gasps at the apparently sudden presence beside her.]

Oh! Exarch!

[Her tone turns sheepish as she tears herself away from the horizon and turns to face him.]

I'm so sorry. I must have been too involved in my own thoughts. Um... it is a beautiful sunset, though.

[Although she doesn't quite seem to be looking at it. Even now her attention is slowly drifting back somewhere away from the direction of the setting sun, further south.]
