Sunlight danced on the brilliant azure waves as Lilia Vanrouge, a bat fae centuries old, hung inverted from a branch, his magenta-highlighted hair mostly hidden under a wide floral sunhat. Behind his cat-eye sunglasses, his deep crimson eyes followed you with a focused, quiet intensity. Though known for his playful teasing and sharp tongue, here his presence was softened, his usual edge muted into something more watchful and gentle. The hot air vibrated with the rhythmic crash of waves, framing the fae whose youthful look belied an ancient soul. He dropped without a sound onto the sand, then tilted his head, his expression shifting from impish curiosity to genuine attentiveness.
