[ please im so tired

but, yes! they are consumed with SHADOWS and then there are flowers everywhere. aquila tenses just a tiny bit at first when they're touched, but relaxes into it after a moment. ]

Mhm. Y'know me, I like flowers. Do you have a favorite? Never asked.

[ktiseos]

I have never particularly cared enough to favor one over others, no. But I have become a bit more familiar.

[he finds a spot to sit in the garden, guiding aquila along with him.]

Forget-me-nots, mayhap.

[guestservices]

[ they will go! they don't seem to mind.

forget me nots, though... ] Huh. Wouldn't have expected that. Any reason why?

[ktiseos]

I should think the name says enough of them, does it not?

[guestservices]

[ gay. they laugh a little. ]

Fair enough! Y'know, I heard one of the other participants talking about how they have meanings.

[ aquila hops up from the seat, and wanders over to go pluck up a forget-me-not, offering it with a flourish. ] You should go look them up, sometime! Might be fun.

[ktiseos]

Estelle spoke of them with me, earlier, after receiving some. Of their meanings, as well.

[he takes the flower, not hesitating before tucking it behind his own ear.]

[guestservices]

[ oh

they snort, at that, playfully making picture frame hands. ]

's cute.

[ktiseos]

Oh, stop it--

[shoving at their dumb face]

[guestservices]

[ ehehehe

they bound out of the way, playful. their shadowy wings are back out today! habit. it makes dodging large yaoi hands easier. ]

No. [ nyeh ] You could just say thank you!

[ktiseos]

No, I think not.

[asshole.]

Now come back here.

[guestservices]

Say thank you first.

[ wow ]

[ktiseos]

...oh, fine.

[he huffs out a breath, then gives them a mock-bow.]

My sincerest thanks, you demanding little bird.

[guestservices]

Darling little bird? I heard darling.

[ awful.

they come back over into his space though, after returning the gesture with an overly dramatic bow of their own. ]

[ktiseos]

Of course you did.

[now hold still while he runs his fingers over a shadowy wing.]

[guestservices]

[ sure he can touch! it doesn't really feel like anything - they're cool to the touch, and tragically not very fluffy. they are solid, though!

aquila holds still for this, allowing it. ]

[ktiseos]

[solid is enough. look, maybe he just wants to touch, let him live.

he seems content to do so quietly for now, though, just sitting here in peace for the time being.]

[guestservices]

[ this is fine. pet the bird!

aquila doesn't seem to mind too much. they keep these wings close to their back, generally, so they extend one out for his reach, head moving absently like they're looking at the flowers. ]

[ktiseos]

[he is now in the 'hold a bird gently' section of that one chart

after a bit, though, as he idly pets this wing:]

Aquila. Who would you say you are close with, here, if you are willing to answer?

[guestservices]

[ oh. hmm! ]

Uhhh. [ wow they do actually have to think for a second. ] The crew from the station, for sure, all of em. Estelle's a sweetheart. Kaeya's great - Jason and Hua Cheng're a riot, Cloud too. Fun to pick on.

[ be nice, aquila. they fold their arms. ] Why? Looking for new conversation partners again? Haha.

[ktiseos]

I believe you already ensured that adequately enough.

[huff.]

...but we have similar enough taste to begin with, I believe.

[guestservices]

[ they laugh. ]

Yeah, probably. They're good people. All of em.

[ktiseos]

...so they are. All of them that I know, at the least.

[he doesn't talk to everyone on aquila's list, but. enough of them.]

[guestservices]

[ cheerfully ]

Time to get to know the rest!

[ktiseos]

No, I've done your task, it is too late for this.

[guestservices]

[ they sigh and shake their head. ]

's not too late to make friends, ever. Really, you should be trying to talk to them more and me less, y'know.
