who falls
♥ Who: Crystal Exarch and WHOEVS!
♥ Where: In the botanical garden
♥ When: Fourth week of September
♥ What: Someone's drowsy and doesn't yet know how to stop it.
♥ Rating: PG?
Given his limitations, it was only a matter of time. All too familiar with his own body and how it now worked, the absence of the Crystal Tower within the city was going to show itself on him eventually, and the Exarch was well aware of it. When the first signs appeared and hunger began to gnaw at his stomach, he did what he could to stave it off, eating full meals for the first time in years, but even that could only get him so far.
Well and truly, he belonged to the Tower now in exchange for his immortality. Without its strength, his own would begin to wane, and wane it did. Food kept his eyes open longer and longer for a time, but as the days passed and his movement became more and more sluggish, sustenance failed him little by little. It would come to a head, he knew, and sooner than he would have liked.
In the botanical gardens, it caught up with him. To anyone who happened to observe him, it would appear as though the Exarch was simply taking a very leisurely walk among the flora, enjoying the flowers. But then he stopped, pressed a hand to his forehead, caught in a sudden spell of dizziness. It passed in short time, as they had done before, but it was warning enough that he heeded well. A bench in a secluded area of the park, thankfully not far from where he was, served as a pleasant enough spot for him to lower his weary form down upon and sit, watching leaves sway in a breeze without seeing them at all.
Beneath the hood, eyes fluttered and breathing began to even out. Leaves scuttled along the path, playing a soft lullaby he couldn't quite ignore. Shortly after, fight it though he tried, the sounds of the wind, the calls of strange birds, and everything around soothed him to sleep.
