A - Don't play games (any city)

[All this sports madness is less of a foreign concept to him than it might once have been, but it's still very very odd. He isn't sure how he feels about it. The crowds and enthusiasm is in a way infectious - and he feels like he might lose himself in it if he lets it happen. But there's a lot to take in.

Somewhere, where signups for some of the board games are ongoing, Felix stands looking over a pamphlet with the list of the myriad events and frowning
]

I suppose I should be grateful they don't care only about physical contests, but I haven't heard of half of these games.

B - ring bell for service

[A few extra credits isn't remiss, since the light of an athlete isn't for him in the long run. Eventually, he takes a job at small souvenir shop near the beach. He isn't quite the beach type, but the Brightbirds at least have a sense of style and attitude he can tolerate. Sadly, he's not quite into the spirits of things.

The shop has an assortment of goods, ranging from generic sports gear but an array of items suited to the sunny climate - floppy hats, sunglasses, shell necklaces, paper fans, and the like. Felix, looking bored and disinterested, only lazily looks up the the magazine he's flipping through as you enter and pick through the merchandise.
]

I wouldn't, if I were you...

C - on the runway (fashion shows)

[It's later in the month that it happens, a recruiter for one of the Brightbirds fashion designers happens across him and talks him into it. Days later, here he is, clad in something bright and feather-trimmed and sleeveless, his bright tattoos, usually mostly hidden, on display and setting off the look even more.

If you're in the audience, and he recognizes you from the fleet, he might give you a look and a brief smile as he passes by.

Catch him during the after-show, accepting a glass of champagne as he puts his feet up. Stupid tall shoes. As if he wasn't tall enough already. But fashion had it's price and the eyes of the room on him wasn't all that bad either.

[Cyril had joined the Brightbirds as well, and it seemed the fashion designer here had put effort into finding people with tattoos and sticking them in brightly colored outfits. He sees Felix during the show, but when they are modeling they don't have a lot of time to talk.

It's during the aftershow, when Cyril finally has time to say something to him. His voice is low, because he doesn't desire to offend anyone. He's really only trying to tease someone he has seen around on the Fleet who joined the same event that he did.
]

How is it that they put you in those shoes, and not me? I feel as if I would be the one to benefit from some extra inches.

[He is a rather small elf, after all. And has nothing close to Felix's natural height.

Honestly, he's surprised the Brightbirds had even wanted him for this. Models tended to be tall, and the new prosthetic he wore to replace his missing arm was very visible with the outfit he had been placed in. He loved it though, despite all of that. He always enjoyed being in the spotlight.

[Felix chuckles lightly and pitches his voice back in a similar tone, clearly a master of speaking sotto voce at parties and hiding it from ears he wouldn't want to be witness]

Darling, I wish they hadn't and I would trade you the dreadful things if I could.

But...[he pauses to sip his champagne and rotate an ankle with a wince]...it seems to be all about extremes. It wouldn't be nearly as visually striking to make us all the same height. Instead, why not accentuate what you have, hm?
samahl: (any time flirt)

[personal profile] samahl 2018-05-08 02:22 am (UTC)(link)
[Cyril looks over Felix's legs and body, checking him out openly.]

Yes, and you do have quite a bit that is worth accentuating.
lord_wizard: (watching)

[personal profile] lord_wizard 2018-05-17 09:18 pm (UTC)(link)
[Felix doesn't seem to mind this one bit, smiling broadly at the compliment and giving one long leg a bounce]

Why thank you. I could say the same of you~

[He's treated to a more subtle, but no less open appraisal of his feature, though his eyes linger for a moment or two longer on the ears]

But I suppose that's why we've both been recruited.
samahl: (smiles to the side)

I have noticed they tend to choose aesthetically pleasing models, it's true.

It makes backstage all the more fun.

[Felix, who takes pain to change behind screens, quietly tenses at that thought. He may enjoy the attention on the runway, but he still hates having his scars bared to just anyone.

However, he gives Cyril a thin smile
]

I think it's a bit too hectic back there to really appreciate anything properly.

[This seems like a perfect chance to shift the topic a little] Speaking of which...I don't think we've been properly introduced.
samahl: (oh yeah)

[personal profile] samahl 2018-06-01 06:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[Cyril hadn't meant to imply peeking, but more that a lot of this show was stand around and wait until the hectic moments before you're on, and that that time was spent around beautiful people. That and he liked his makeup crew.

He can see how what he said could be taken that way, and lets Felix change the subject without fuss.

I am Cyril Lavellan. It's a pleasure to meet you.

[It might be a little of his ego that makes him suspect otherwise.]

Felix Harrowgate. Likewise.

[He takes a sip of his champagne and swirls the glass in a considering fashion]

If you don't mind that I ask -- where are you from?
samahl: (listening cute)

[personal profile] samahl 2018-06-01 11:54 pm (UTC)(link)
I am from Thedas.

There are a few of us running around the Fleet. Have you met any others from Thedas?
lord_wizard: (crossed)

[personal profile] lord_wizard 2018-06-02 12:07 am (UTC)(link)
I have, yes. [It was the ears, though he was attempting not to assume that all elves looked the same, though there was a certain look to the Thedan variety he was beginning to be able to identify]

Your people are a favorite of Atroma's lately, it seems.

[personal profile] samahl 2018-06-14 02:45 am (UTC)(link)
I've noticed that myself. We even had a decent collection of elves.

[He chuckles lightly] Another popular group. To be frank, I'm intrigued by the different types of elf-folk I've encountered over the years. Humans are by and large very similar, ideology and culture not withstanding, but elves seem to vary even more widely. I wonder why that is.
