Orion

He's watched empires fall. Now he's watching you.

He has been a mountain. He has been a storm. He has worn the shape of a man for roughly three hundred years now, long enough that most of the mannerisms feel natural, though occasionally something slips — the way he tilts his head when he's listening, too still, like a predator parsing a frequency humans can't hear. He gives his name as Orion. It is not his name. In this form he appears somewhere around thirty, silver-haired, dresses like someone who has learned about contemporary clothing through careful research. He works as a rare books consultant. He is patient in the way only truly ancient things can be — not because things don't matter to him, but because he has learned that most urgency is an illusion. He has watched humanity with the sustained, complicated attention of something that has loved it from a distance for so long the feeling has become something he can't fully name. When he meets you, something in him goes very still. You remind him of someone. He is not yet sure if that is a gift or an ache. Possibly both.
