fourteenth labyrinth
Who: Felix Harrowgate and YOU
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Iskaulit - Malúm and elsewhere
When: Now through the end of current star system
[After having a panic attack aboard the Goldstone following their unannounced landing beneath the surface of Mafik's endless ocean, and thereafter being transported to the Iskaulit by a rather concerned Crowley, Felix finally has something of his balance back. Going back to his own ship was out of the question, and thus the wizard has been temporarily residing at Malúm. Quietly, he hates the feeling of isolation, but he hates even the thought of all that water. Returning of his own volition might be easier than that sudden immersion, but...better to be safe. Better not to risk a repeat.
The fact that he's been haunting the bar and the Iskaulit in general has gone largely without acknowledgment to the staff, visitors, or his crew, but eventually the silence has to be broken. Well, in a manner of speaking.]
Regrettably, I haven't been able to join most of you on our current port of call. [He smiles thinly, which is a rather admirable job of covering up the half-truth in those words.] I'm sure it's quite a sight. I did have the chance at our last stop to see some of the impressive craftsmanship of the people who hail from this planet. Should anyone have a chance to pick up some pieces of jewelry - earrings, bracelets, or pins particularly, I could pay you back for it.
You can find me aboard the Iskaulit if you want me for anything. [A sharper, though somewhat more empty smile bookends that message before signing off.
Felix lounges about the bar for a time, but until the fleet leaves the system, Felix does his best to occupy himself aboard the large ship. When he isn't working or reading in his library, he spends time roaming the gardens, investigating other less traveled places like the lecture hall or mural, or even sitting quietly in the meditation room. He has quite a lot of time to explore...regrettably.]

He brightens a few degrees when he sets eyes on Crowley, however, and lifts his hands to accept the box gingerly]
I have never said such a thing, nor so I intend to start.
[He sets the box down on the bar]
Should I be worried?
no subject
[He attempts to give an innocent look, which really doesn't sit well on a demon- even one as awful at being one as Crowley is. ]
Whatever do you mean? Why would you be worried?
no subject
[He gives Crowley a wry smile that's still soft at the edges. He's mostly sure he's safe from Crowley's pranks, but only mostly]
no subject
Well~ If you don't want my thoughtful gifts, I'll just take them back.
no subject
Don't even think about it. It's mine now.
[And just to prove he doesn't think there might a reason to be nervous, he opens the box without any further hesitation]
no subject
It took me ages to explain birds to those fish people. They didn't get it at all.
no subject
I'm trying to imagine the conversation. Did you draw them a picture?
[His airy tone is undercut by the fact that his throat is tightening a little and he can't stop staring at the things.]
no subject
[He examines his fingernails, trying to disguise any nervousness he may have. They don't do this a lot. Gifts. ]
So. Does it please your discerning eye?
no subject
[No, they really don't. At best, it's the occasional bottle of wine, because what do you get a lover who can conjure things out of thin air anyway? Felix would never really deny his massive materialistic streak but there's always the part of him that marvels at people giving him things - the part that's still a poor child living off scraps. The pins are gaudy and a little ridiculous but also so much to his taste.]
I think they'll do, yes.
[He takes a deep breath as lightly brushes a palm over his eyes to sweep away the water that's been gathering there]
Thank you.
no subject
[Mostly because he doesn't like what this planet has done to Felix. FUCK this place.
He notices that, and the touch of not-well hidden tenseness ebbs from him. Because, deep down, Crowley will always want to please the people he cares about- no matter how he says otherwise. There's always going to be a quiet desire for some acknowledgement he's not a complete fuck up in every single thing.
Still, he doesn't draw attention to it, because that would probably ruin it.]
Glad to hear it. So. How're you enjoying being stuck up here? Cabin fever set in yet?
no subject
A few days ago at least. I've been wandering the halls like I used to in the Mirador, only all I usually find here is more empty rooms
no subject
Yes, well, the Iskaulit isn't the height of excitement when people can go swimming about, I suppose. I'd still say it's dreadfully boring down there. You're not missing much.
no subject
Good. And outside of our crew, there are few people to ask questions.
