[ The gentleness of his eyes draws Damen in, though he can't quite place why. Historically speaking, what Damianos finds aesthetically pleasing is almost opposite to Setsuna. It might be, he'll muse later, the exoticness in their appearance to him. In Akielos, it was fair hair and pale skin that was beyond the norm, but he has never seen the cat-like eyes and deep dark hair set against milky skin of people like this young man, and Vietnam.
