[ Lucius has already been here long enough to hear the finer details of the process explainedโthat the trip will be brief, and perhaps not exactly the sort of return to the Diadem that he would want. Nonetheless, the anticipation that hums through his blood remains, unabated. Whether or not this is a true return to his warband, so long as Eridanus is at his side, it won't be one wasted.
That also means he has had time enough to rehearse, within his own mind, the way he intends to break that news to the man in question. The moment he sees Eridanus has arrived, a slim smile distorts his face ridged with scars; unbidden, a purr rumbles his throat in his excitement, the tips of his tails curling with an excitement he cannot suppress. ]
Eridanus, [ he murmurs, and his own voice is low with intimacy rather than the passing of a secret, ] you once wished to witness my flagship as more than a mere mirage, didn't you?
[ He lifts a hand, claws dragging sharp against Eridanus' scalp where his fingers pull possessive through ashen hair. ]
