His eyes lit up and he smiled enormously, a real smile not a playful litter grin or a mischievous smirk. He's the type that talks and talks and talks sometimes far too much for anyone else to get a word in edgewise. But even then he'd heard nearly every question. But this one, this one was a new one.
"Precisely!" he clapped his hands in delight and spun on his heel, "Vacancies of light and life and wonder and mystery. Gaps and holes and cracks and the sad sad people who lived within them... I wanted to fill them all..."
He sighed then, eyes looking vaguely off to the distance, remember those 'early' days. So boring. No one with a sense of adventure, everyone content to eek out their miserable lives one day after another unaware of the cracks in the world slowly yawning open to devour them.
"I did too. Took the old and mixed some new and set it all off to see it'd work. Not just the key but everything else too, though I will admit the key is the key to it all," he sounded almost giddy. His eyes focused on her once again, "You I like."
