[ This dream is dark and cold and filled with strange, mechanical voices. An abandoned and broken place.
They wander aimlessly, uncertain. They're not sure when they decided to put their charm on, to take advantage of added height to avoid the grasping automatons or knock them away, but - regardless, they're taller now.
The sound of something that's not mechanical clunking attracts them simply for the novelty, and then they pause. Hovering just at the edge of sight, barely lit by the soft glow that this person emits.
They recognise him, of course. It would be hard to forget him, though not for the reasons he would want.
They simply stand and watch, because it's quieter here, away from all the noise and light that the automatons emit. And they're curious about what he's doing. About him. They've never seen him in more than brief glimpses, shards of memory long in the past. Despite themselves, they are interested, at least for the moment.
And if the Pale King, who had only intended for one vessel to reach maturity, were to mistake them for someone else in the poor lighting of this place, well
