[audio]

[Someone is definitely growling. You'd think he was a dog, but then he seems to form words. Every consonant sounds like a knife against stone.]

I'm staying away from the planet for a while. If anyone needs me—

[He hesitates.]

—too bad. [And he hangs up.]

[action]

[Despite his grumpy broadcast, Dezel can be found in certain places. One of them is Crowley's bar. He's invisible, but that doesn't stop him from cleaning glasses and making tiny, pretentious food. If you can't see him, it's like some invisible Christmas elf keeps leaving tarts everywhere.

Alternatively, he can be seen (or not seen) sulking in the Huntress' cargo bay, sitting on some boxes beside a window. In his lap is a fuzzy happy little slug that he strokes with due diligence.]

[ooc: If you're meeting Dezel in person and haven't done so, please fill out his seraph permissions!]

[He's definitely sulking, visibly so, when Sora finds him. His fingers still in the plush fur of the fluff slug. He looks down from his perch. He's so grumpy that there's not even a smile, but then again, that's probably normal.]

I thought you'd be down on the planet. [Simba needs to stretch his legs, after all.]

[Yeah the lack of smile is pretty Dezel like]

Sure, but I can't stay down there all the time. Something would probably eat me if I slept down there.

[He thinks about the big lizard-like hellion things he's encountered while roaming around. And then he thinks about Sora's size, disposition, and general aversion to fighting.]

Probably.

[He's welcome for the vote of confidence.]

... Something I can do for you?

[Yeah thanks for the confidence in him, Dezel. Sora doesn't think anything of it though, he knows he's nothing special.]

Well, I was kinda wondering what you're doing up here. I kinda thought you'd be taking every chance you could to be enjoying nature, like Mikleo.

[Dezel responds not with words but by tightening the curl of his body against the ship's hull. The fluff slug takes the opportunity to burrow into Dezel's elbow. He doesn't seem to notice, or care.]

I was, and I did.

[He knows that's not going to be enough to satisfy Sora, but he's not sure how to explain this.]

... Someone from home showed up.

[Dude answers like that would satisfy no one I THOUGHT YOU HUNG AROUND HUMANS GOD]

Someone from home?

[He looks confused, maybe a little concerned.]

Is it someone bad?

[He has E rank social skills.

Dezel hesitates. Zaveid had fought them before, many times, but he'd never fought to the brink of killing anyone. Sorey had mentioned, once, that Zaveid saved them on Spiritcrest. Knowing that Zaveid replaced him, too...]

... No, I don't think he'll hurt anyone.

[He draws the brim of his hat down a little more, but doesn't volunteer much else.]

It's complicated.

[Well it's a relief to hear the guy won't hurt anyone. Sora didn't want to see anyone hurt. Not to mention, he'd rather not have to move ships again if he could. He liked the Huntress okay.]

So in other words...you don't like him and wanna avoid him?

Exactly.

[Sora hit the nail on the head, there.]

He talks too much without saying anything at all. [He pets the slug some more, staring off into space (har har).] He's a wind seraph, but that's where the similarities end.

Huh, sounds annoying.

[He rubs the back of his neck]

But do you really wanna stay off planet the rest of our time? I mean it's a big place, I'm sure you could avoid him.

Not likely. He can read the wind, too.

[Do you see why he is up here sulking now?]

So tell him to beat it.

[Sure, he can see why he's up here sulking. Doesn't mean he doesn't think it's stupid though]

C'mon, it's not like we're gonna be at this planet forever. And who knows the next time we'll come across a planet with nature. Won't you regret holing yourself up here all this time?

I have!

[He's trying not to yell at Sora, but damn it, stop calling him out on his bullshit.]

I wasn't going to be up here forever, anyway. [He sounds a little like a scolded child.] Just a day or two, until he gets bored and moves on.

[To give Sora credit, he doesn't flinch much at the yelling. He's not it's not aimed at him]

Really? And you're not worried he'll try to come to the ship in that meantime?

[Good job, Sora. You're learning.]

... If he does, he knows I'll fight him.

[That's... not really helping, Dezel.]

[seriously Dezel?]

Don't go wrecking the ship now. It's not like I know how to put it back together.

[Dezel is always serious.]

Tch. I know better than that.

Uh huh.

I live here too, you know.

[He knows when he's being sassed. And yet he can't help sounding a little bit... petulant.]

[Yeah okay, the petulance can't help but make him snicker some]

Yeah, I think I did hear something about that.
