((Or, Watch As Ireny Attempts To Capture A Moment In Time And Fails Miserably.))
He turns and the world stops.
Gleam of sun on metal, faces frozen, eyes alive but blank like pale, white-washed walls of an empty room. Mouths set in grim lines, some half-open. Hands, some worn, suited to the simple, repetitive task of death, others still pale and smooth, unused to the biting blade of reality. Feet, all used to the long, slow dance of war. Hearts stilled, yet there is an audible beating noise in the air, like the vacant yet full hush in a room with a thousand silenced clocks. Movement is halted and yet the wind still rushes around them, howling past these cold-eyed sentinels who mark the steady passage of time.
And they stand like courtly gentlemen, awaiting their partners on a ballroom floor, and he gives the order to dance.

I believe a valid argument could be made that the man watching is Enjolras at the barricades, Boromir or Aragorn observing their armies, or Joshua L. Chamberlain at Little Round Top, but I honestly didn't have anyone in mind when I wrote it. My subconscious is funny like that.))

I finally decided to get off my butt and actually get a little active on Gaia again. This included the creation of my journal, which you can see here.
Unfortunately, I have less than 1000 gold at the moment, due to my spate of inactivity. Therefore, I cannot buy the forest green university vest which would be absolutely perfect for 'Ferre here.
Combeferre: Does it come in red? Or black?
I don't know. I have dial-up. The stores take forever to load. By the by, does anyone know where I could buy glasses, and how much they cost? Because 'Ferre needs glasses, you see. surprised
