[hey everyone! how's it been going? how's medieval-fun-time-world treating you? anyone pillaged and burned anything yet? got kicked out of the castle? been planning expeditions? registered for jousting? busy angsting for the last two weeks on your ship?

this is a mingle for everybody, whether they're hiding in the volcano, out and about in the city, or up on one of those random random stations where you can get quirky souvenirs.]

[ after (finally) seeing Kaneis's wings a couple of days back, Lloyd came to the realization that he kind of needs to care for his own as well. he never really thought about it, since he doesn't really fly, but maybe having wings with fewer molted feathers stuck in them would be better.

which is why he's out in the forest, perched on a rock, with his wings out and folded close to him. the blue-green glow intermingling with the sunlight gives the area a more magical feel than what it already has, emphasized only further by the glowing translucent feathers dotting the grass around him.

if anyone approaches him, he doesn't take notice: he seems to be fully engrossed in preening his wings-- there even happens to be some wordless mutterings coming out of his mouth as he slowly goes through his wing, picking out any loose feathers or just straightening them out. ]

Well, this...

[...this isn't what he expected to find when he came out here. he was hoping to find an empty forest to shift forms in, get some of his own restless energy out and re-write his waning illusion spell, but... here's Lloyd, on a rock, with a pair of... wings...?

he's stopped several feet away. with his fingers thoughtfully over his mouth. just looking.]


...is interesting.
idealistic: (【ANIME】OH THE DRAMA;)

[ Lloyd doesn't hear Robin, too engrossed in his preening to even acknowledge the possibility of someone watching him. it's when he happened to coincidentally look over in Robin's direction that he finally notices him.

and jumps right out of his skin. ]


Whoa-- WaaAGH!

[ before he could even catch himself, he loses balance on the rock and falls over, a flurry of glowing blue-green feathers (that were already on the floor) flying upwards from the impact.

angels are truly graceful creatures. ]

[personal profile] birdsbirdsbirds 2015-03-18 05:51 pm (UTC)(link)
[he... watches... this happen...

and raises his hands to clap. politely. a graceful landing, Lloyd. he'll wait for the boy to regain his footing and get that wingspan sorted out.]
idealistic: (【ANIME】i am so dead;)

[personal profile] idealistic 2015-03-24 02:01 am (UTC)(link)
O-ow...

[ talk about a rough landing. it takes a bit for Lloyd to recover, but he manages to slowly right himself, using the rock as leverage to get onto his knees. his wings flare out a little, giving Robin a taste of just how big they are before they fold back onto his back.

Lloyd freezes when he not only spots Robin still nearby, but also clapping at him, likely because of that display. ]


Uh... [ well that sure was embarrassing. ] Hi, Robin.
birdsbirdsbirds: (BROW ♠ or we could not do that)

[personal profile] birdsbirdsbirds 2015-03-24 06:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Hi, Lloyd.

[he raises an eyebrow, looking over those wings again...]

Is this a bad time?
idealistic: (【MANGA】what's up;)

[personal profile] idealistic 2015-03-25 01:39 am (UTC)(link)
Nah, I wasn't doing much. [ just preening his ginormous blue wings, nbd ]

What's up?
birdsbirdsbirds: (♦ legit how he sits 80% of the time)

[personal profile] birdsbirdsbirds 2015-03-26 10:13 pm (UTC)(link)
You, apparently. Are the wings a... normal thing?

[he has at least finally deemed it safe to come closer... get a better look...]
idealistic: (【MANGA】the undies got caught in a tree;)

[personal profile] idealistic 2015-03-29 03:48 am (UTC)(link)
Um...

[ Lloyd's fine with Robin coming closer! his wings won't spear him like they did with Cole; instead, they just flutter lazily behind him. ]

Yeah. Kinda. [ as normal as "borderline-walking-dead" can be, anyway. ] I wasn't born with them, but I had 'em for a while.
birdsbirdsbirds: (♦ in case his username wasn't clear)

[personal profile] birdsbirdsbirds 2015-03-30 04:57 am (UTC)(link)
[he walks around him, swings around to Lloyd's front... and crouches where he can see all of Lloyd and the undersides of his wings.]

...Does that make you not human? ["Angels" are supposed to have wings, aren't they? But he doesn't know a whole lot about them...]
idealistic: like a poser commiting genocide under your name (【SKIT】no other mood killer;)

[personal profile] idealistic 2015-03-30 05:09 am (UTC)(link)
...I don't know. Maybe.

[ angels were complicated creatures back home-- they were nothing more than mutated humanoids. and if Lloyd had wings, then... it'd make him one of them too, right? ]

I never really thought about it, honestly, but I guess I'm an angel.
birdsbirdsbirds: (♠ head like a steel trap)

[personal profile] birdsbirdsbirds 2015-04-01 04:32 am (UTC)(link)
[Robin turns his head, a little, and then... more... and then just turns around completely and plops down on his back on the ground. perfect.]

You've never thought about it? That seems kind of important.
idealistic: (【MANGA】yeah that's interesting;)

[personal profile] idealistic 2015-04-01 11:42 am (UTC)(link)
Not really.

[ he crosses arms on the rock, settling his head into it. his wings continue to flutter lazily behind him. ]

What species you are isn't what defines you. You could be a human, angel, demon, elf-- whatever. It's who you are that really matters.
birdsbirdsbirds: (♠ nel put your pants back on)

[personal profile] birdsbirdsbirds 2015-04-01 06:36 pm (UTC)(link)
That's... I don't think I've ever met anyone who really believes that.

[sure there are optimists who think you're mostly formed of the decisions you make, but even they agree that genetics and species are going to force you somewhere. he rather casually reaches up to see if he can touch the edge of a feather.]
idealistic: (【MANGA】maybe just a little pissed;)

[personal profile] idealistic 2015-04-08 02:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Not a lot of people do.

[ Lloyd doesn't make a move to deny Robin the urge to touch a feather; in fact, his wing flutters closer to his fingers just so that he can touch them. it's an odd sensation: there's a soft crackle of energy and the feathers don't quite feel solid, but they still feel downy like regular feathers. ]

They're always afraid of what's different, even though it doesn't always mean it's bad.
birdsbirdsbirds: (♦ legit how he sits 80% of the time)

[personal profile] birdsbirdsbirds 2015-04-08 06:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Do people think you're bad, where you're from?

[he can't imagine it. maybe Lloyd is talking about someone else. he's satisfied with just a little touch, just knowing that they feel as strange as they look, and lets his arm drop by his side.]
wilder: (❂ observing)

[personal profile] wilder 2015-03-24 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
You missed a spot.

[Kaneis is out there. Maybe he wanted some fresh air, maybe he's stalking Lloyd- really who knows with that guy. Either way, he had been pretty silent in his approach, but now he was moving to sit on that rock next to him]
idealistic: (【MANGA】oh well hello there;)

[personal profile] idealistic 2015-03-24 02:44 am (UTC)(link)
--Huh?

[ silent, indeed. Lloyd didn't even notice when Kaneis walked up to him until he said something, which is pretty clear when he jumps at the sound of his voice. was he really that into preening his wings?

it doesn't bother him, though; he'll always welcome Kaneis, uninvited or not. when he moves to sit down, Lloyd scoots to the side a touch, enough to give Kaneis more room on the rock as he looks over his work. ]


Where did I miss?
wilder: (❂ pretty unimpressed)

[personal profile] wilder 2015-03-24 02:52 am (UTC)(link)
Right by your shoulders.

[You know, that hard to reach spot.]

idealistic: (【GENIS】omfg;)

[personal profile] idealistic 2015-03-24 03:17 am (UTC)(link)
[ ah. That spot. ]

Seriously?! I thought I got it! [ okay now he's trying to reach that spot again because he thought he was pretty sure he preened that spot well enough! ]

Nngh, lemme just-- Argh, come on...!
wilder: (❂ scoffing)

[personal profile] wilder 2015-03-24 03:24 am (UTC)(link)
[And now he's watching. Trying to hide any amusement]

Whoops, careful - you're messing up the good feathers.
idealistic: (【ZELOS】okay OW;)

[personal profile] idealistic 2015-03-24 03:31 am (UTC)(link)
You try doing this with wings this bi-- Whoa!

[ suddenly Lloyd remembered why preening his wings never crossed his mind: they're a fucking hassle to deal with.

case in point, when Lloyd lost balance and nearly fell off the rock. ]
wilder: (❂ what I'm totally innocent)

[personal profile] wilder 2015-03-24 03:39 am (UTC)(link)
[Wow so graceful Lloyd. So majestic.]

[Since Kaneis is on the same rock and has dem angelic reflexes, Lloyd won't go crashing to the ground- lucky Lloyd. Instead Zelos reaches out and grabs him by the side before hauling him up]


Ha- careful Lloyd!
idealistic: (【SKIT】siiiiiiiigh;)

[personal profile] idealistic 2015-03-24 03:45 am (UTC)(link)
[ lucky Lloyd, indeed. and here he was expecting a rough landing, but nope. here's Kaneis to save the day.

thanks Kaneis, you're a true pal. ]


Th-thanks... [ his wings flutter a bit, as though trying to calm down from the shock. ]

Man, how can you even get back there?
wilder: (❂ sarcasm)

[personal profile] wilder 2015-03-24 03:52 am (UTC)(link)
[He meanwhile let's go of Lloyd's side once he's safely back on the rock and gives a shrug]

I dunno- extreme flexibility?
