driftfleet | (Open)

Who: Maedhros & Open
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Yes! On Ring World Siourew.
When: The tenth.

(It is uncommon for Maedhros to be surrounded by...anyone, truly. He has an air about him that affords him space without him saying a word. Perhaps his scars are off-putting or his height or perhaps word has spread that he - along with certain members of his family - are skilled, cold killers when threatened.

Regardless, the tall Elf is finding himself in an uncomfortable situation. Many of those vying for his attention are Co’kal and he is wary of offending them even in his confusion.)

Forgive me, but I cannot - (There is excitement that follows his gentle rejection and he tenses, barely avoiding a hand touching his hair.) I do not like to be touched.

(Which isn't entirely true. His family can touch him freely and he feels no anxiety. However strangers are a different story.

A smaller, somewhat daintier Co'kal makes a sound of sympathy and he smiles nervously.)

I am honored to be given your affections. (Maedhros meets the gazes of all around him, paling when he feels tensions heightening.) But I am not worthy of them. I must tell you now that we would not be compatible as mates.

I had no idea our hosts were so affectionate. [Watching curiously though not recognizing the fleet member in distress.]

I think...it's uncommon... (Maedhros is doing his best not to insult them while secretly looking for an escape.)

You're just their type? [A little amused.]

(OOC: He does have the Pheromones Glitch, right? I wanted to make sure since it is supposed to work over the network too. Of if you'd prefer it not that's cool too. I'd probably go with interest over attraction since they hadn't met previously.)

I doubt it very much. (He doesn't have enough legs or feathers!)

(OOC: Yup! Go right ahead. :3 )

Opposites attract. [Smiling at him with more interest than she'd normally show another fleet member she hasn't met before. In fact she may not have responded to this at all usually, but there was just something so compelling about him.] I guess not for you though. More for the rest of us. [What did she just say?]

(He will argue very extensively that there is nothing compelling about him. Where are her parents? Where are everyone's parents?!)

I...do not follow, my lady. (Opposites...attract? Yes, sometimes. But they cannot be too opposing. He might be overthinking it.) Are you feeling well?

[They were murdered when she was 13?]

Never felt better. Where did I lose you? [Giving him a dream sort of look that she will find very upsetting later, but at the moment she can't help it.]

(Poor baby. Maedhros knows what it is like to lose one parent and be cut off from the other.)

You appear to be...afflicted. (He doesn't want her to be embarrassed or ashamed of this later.) Do you have need of any weapon, by chance? My brother and I are working together to create as many materials as possible.

Afflicted? What? [Laughing because that's so silly. Just what she's come to expect from the guy she just met and finds utterly fascinating. But the weapon talk does get her actual interest too.]

I have one. [She adjusts the camera to show what could be forearm shielding or a really big statement bracelet in the form of a silver metal gauntlet around her forearm. And then a moment later it shoots out 3 metal claws.] But what kinds of things are you working on? [She knows some people who are into swords.]
