Black Star

Blake Wu

His father was here meeting with some rich people who were entrusting them with their Abraxan winged horses and Blake needed to come with him because apparently this could give him experience once he's in charge of the entirety of their sanctuary. The meeting's over now and his father had headed home first but Blake had stayed behind to explore. His snow leopard cub Xinyi was in his arms, dozing off, while Blake walked around Mayfair looking very much like a lowkey rebellious rich kid with his loosened tie and all that jazz.

Blake Wu

The sudden voice made Blake stop in his tracks, right below the light of a lamppost. He turns to face the owner of the voice, a curious hum escaping Blake's lips. The statement registers in his brain and he flicks his gaze to the sleeping Xinyi in his arms, a small smile tugging at the corners of his mouth. Blake's eyes land back to the boy before him. The boy is familiar. Blake recalls the scent of paint, then followed by the sound of waves crashing into the shoreline. The name escapes him, but he does remember the boy who was far from home, like him. "Thank you." He doesn't know what to say afterwards so he settles on stroking Xinyi's head, the cub letting out a purr in his sleep.

Blake's head took on a curious tilt as the other boy went to the bush nearby, his own feet making him follow the other's footsteps. "Star... blossoms?" He's familiar with them, yes. He vaguely remembers it being part of a certain magical creature's diet, but Blake couldn't recall what it was. Nevertheless, he crouched down, careful to not jostle Xinyi too much and cradling her carefully in his arms. A spark of fascination and recognition shone in his eyes as he gazed on the small blossom. "I think we have these in our botanical gardens." He spoke softly, "But under a different name in Mandarin."

Blake blinks in surprise when a couple of the blossoms appear on his hand, courtesy of one Gianluca Romano. This lets him have a clearer view of the flowers and he handles them gently, as if the tiniest jostle could make them shatter like spun glass. "They're beautiful." He breathes, eyes captivated by the soft glow the flowers emit. His thumb gently caresses the petal nearest to it, his mouth letting out a soft "Oh" at how soft it feels under the pad of his thumb. Blake is knocked out of his reverie by Luca's words, reluctantly tearing his eyes away from the flowers to look at the other boy. A small voice at the back of his mind declares that Luca's smile outshines the glow of the Magical blossoms in his hand and Blake finds himself silently agreeing. He lets out a soft hum, "It's part of my family's animal sanctuary. To cater to the more... exotic Magical diets of some of the other species."

"It's more of a private institution. We do have some of the rarer Magical Creatures so its existence is kept as vague as possible." As he says this, Blake gently arranges the Star Blossoms on Xinyi, making the small cub look like she was wearing a shiny flower crown and Blake smile with unbridled fondness for Xinyi. His ears caught wind of Luca's last words, "Ah, you would love our botanical gardens then. Dad says we pretty much have the entire world's discovered species under our belt though I don't know how accurate he is. I'm not that well-versed in botany..." He admits, a shy lilt in his voice. For reasons unexplainable to him, Blake doesn't want to appear inadequate in front of Luca. Before he could ponder on it further, a look of surprise starts to take over his features. Of all the things Blake didn't expect, Luca remembering his name was the biggest one of them all. For someone as *bright* as Luca to remember something about an insignificant shadow like him... that was definitely a surprise. Blake nods slowly as confirmation, "I... I'm not exactly a painter per se, but I do enjoy doing it." It seems like the fine gentleman in front of him is full of surprises because Luca's invitation takes him aback yet again. Blake's gaze turns to the direction of the place he and his dad were staying at. "My dad had told me to not stay out too late, but he didn't say exactly *when* I should return..." He trails off, a glint of mischief peeking out from Blake's previously shy demeanor. He tilts his head up at the sky, a small hum escaping his lips, "I remember I connected your name to light. Lu- Luca was it? Funny how our names contrast." Blake returns his gaze on Luca, a playful grin on his face.

He startles at Luca's words, a soft red flush quickly making its way up his cheeks at the implication that Blake's absolutely welcome to stare at Luca all he wants. Not that he *doesn't want to* but there was this huge chance that Blake wouldn't be able to make himself stop once he does take up the offer. In his flustered state, Blake almost fell backwards when he tried to stand up too quickly. The action caused the small cub to let out something between a whine and a mewl, her sleep disturbed. Blake was quick to coo small words of apology and affection at smol Xinyi, quite thankful for the distraction. Xinyi then proceeds to climb up to settle herself on Blake's shoulders, deeming it the only way she would accept his apology by giving her master a tiny lick on his cheek. Pleased, Blake gave Xinyi an affectionate rub at the back of her ear before turning his attention back to Luca. He's not gonna lie, he's still a little... shookt from Luca's earlier statement, but two can play it that game. "Does that mean you'd be willing to fight the stars for my attention then?" He asks, tone shy but with a few specks of mischievousness.
