3rd Person POV

AU Sydrian

Clouds

Adrian never considered looking at clouds to be fascinating. Just laying there, turning their odd shapes into things of the human world. While at first it might sound appealing, after doing it for a few minutes - the hype of it wears down.

That is, of course, when he is playing that game alone. You see alone, Adrian could only guess his answer so many times before he accused himself of cheating. Alone, he could only lay so still before his arm would twitch or leg would itch. Playing it alone, being by himself, only brought on the spirit darkness. But, when he was playing it with Sydney - oh the fun he had!

"Look it's a dragon," Sydney would say. "No it's a flower!" "How do you confuse a dragon with a flower?" "Both remind me of you, my fiery Sage." It really was something, their bantering back and forth and strong competition.

They competed on who could find the most unique cloud, only agreeing with the other so they could start again. Never once did Adrian get bored playing with Sydney, laying together in the cool air, hands clasped with each other. A charmed ring made by Sydney given to Adrian provided a temporary 'shield' from the setting sun.

Sometimes though they would give up, halfway through, simply because being in the presence of each other was satisfying enough. Either way Adrian loved those days, loved the games that were played, but only with his Fiery Sage.
