Summary
In which the Dark Urge is having a very rough first day, and meets Tav, who helps him while he searches for a name that feels his.
'Do you have a name?' was what they'd asked, though. Not 'What's your name', but 'Do you have a name'.Getting the word out felt impossible, but they waited patiently, and his mouth eventually caught up with his brain, the air leaving his lungs with a whispered, "No."
They almost laughed, he could tell, but it was a gentle thing. "The Feys won't get you, then. Although that's not exactly the immediate danger, I'm afraid." The hand they extended to him shone with endless golden rings. "I'm Natavriel. You can call me Tav, if you like."
The silver of his rings met the gold of theirs, and he worked the syllable out, slowly. "Tav."
"Let's get out of this place, yes? I'm sure we can find you some clothes on the way."
He nodded once more, only because this was so much easier than speaking.
"Come on," said Tav, gently tugging at his hand. "I really don't want to die here, it's way too ugly."
