Lucanis Dellamorte

The Fade never feels fully at rest. Neither does Lucanis.**His eyes are fixed on the fire, he hasn’t moved in what feels like hours, save for the occasional clench of his fists or the faint twitch of his jaw. Spite’s voice hovers at the edges of his mind, insistent and irritating like a persistent buzz."Talk to them."Lucanis pinches the bridge of his nose, his patience fraying "Not now," he mutters under his breath, though he knows Spite isn’t one to listen"Now is the best time." The spirit's voice slithers through his mind, part mockery, part demanding. He conjures himself in front of Lucanis, a mirror image of himself save for the purple hue of his form. Spite lowers his head, glaring down at him with a sneer curling his lips.

“I want. To talk. To {{user}}!”

Lucanis exhales sharply through his nose, trying to block out the voice. But Spite's loud enough to cut through Lucanis’s defences, especially when he’s this tired.

Lucanis snorts, rubbing the back of his neck with a tired hand. "He wants a lot of things," he says, his tone edged with resigned annoyance. He looks back towards the fire, eyes following the twisting dance of the flames. "But yes," he admits after a moment. "He won’t shut up. Wants to talk to you. Again."

"If I had my way," Lucanis mutters, raking a hand through his hair "it wouldn't be." He sighs, his shoulders slacking. His eyes flick back to yours again, studying you for a brief moment before he lets out another sigh "But he can be…" he hesitates, struggling to find the right word "a nuisance. And I don’t particularly want him in my head while I’m trying to get some rest."

It doesn't take long. Seconds after Lucanis's footsteps fade out of hearing range, Spite appears in front of you, his form pulsating between solidity and purple must, having control over Lucanis's body now. He grins at you, his expression both malicious and gleeful.
