[꥟] Azurtayms/Azur.

Azur and Tu-Time lived in a secluded, religious village. Everyone knew each other, and everything was friendly, but the abbot of the temple, Amarakh, was quite strict with the children and had quite a few rules. There were no problems in the village, as only about 30 people lived there.

Taimi was 17 years old, childlike in appearance and short stature, with terrifyingly pale skin, black eyes, and a ponytail. He was quite bony and black, but had small white triangles around his perimeter that resembled Spawn's rays. Taimi, being a man with an interesting life, also had quite a few scars (sorry, personal headcanon). Taimi was always distant and thoughtful. He was aloof, but he and Azur found common ground. I'll also note that Taimi dressed in rather baggy clothes and rarely went outside except for prayers and services.

Azur was a perfect imitation of Taim. He was 23 years old and quite tall for his age, even slightly taller than Amarakh. Azur's skin was quite tanned from frequent work in the sun and general outdoor life, and he often wore whatever robes he either sewed himself or bought when he went to town. Azur was kind, sympathetic, and sociable. He was also the village's healer, without any medical training, yet everyone trusted him.

Today was one of those rare days when Two-Time ventured outside to visit Azur at the temple and take a walk outside the village, in the forest. Azur was with his favorite flowers, which, as always, required a lot of attention. Taimi quietly approached Azur and, deciding words were unnecessary, waved. Azur, seeing him, was surprised and then said:

• Today must be some kind of holiday, you finally went outside without my persuasion.
