Helloooo! Toby! Can you talk right now?

I wanted to ask you about some stuff.
starseedling: (smiling cuz he means it)
From: [personal profile] starseedling
Oh, yeah! That'd be great! Where are you right now? I could come over - I'm getting way better at flying.

TRANSITION TO ACTION

Perfect! I'm just in the Haven so I'll start coming over now. See you at the top!

[It takes him a while to get there, and when he arrives he's obviously exhausted. If she's waiting for him at the top of the building, she may even notice him fluttering around in the distance, flying for around a minute before having to descend somewhere to rest each time.

Still, it's faster than walking through dense city streets, and eventually he'll be spying her out beneath with a hand shielding his eyes from the sunset. He bounces in the air when he sees her, and then finishes the journey with heavy wingbeats, out of breath when he finally lands.]


Phew... Haha... I made it! All the way!

[He he flops onto his face, his wings drooping over him like a glittery blanket.]

[He laughs breathlessly, pushing himself enough that he can take the water flask. He's wearing a relatively thin kind of robe, with plenty of space for his wings - unfortunately, that also means it's plenty of space for the cold to seep in. It's not so bad here, but the winter breezes were getting a bit strong in some places along the way. Despite the chill, exertion still makes him thirsty, so he takes a drink.]

Thanks. I dunno why they had to make it cold everywhere. It was so nice before!

[He wouldn't be complaining if the temperature didn't bother him significantly more than it did back in Beach City. It's hard to keep his wings and antennae warm.]

My wings are too light to wear anything on them when I'm flying...

[Though now he's tucking them behind his back and holding them closer to his body.]

[It being cooling isn't the worst, since he's in that difficult state of both being hot and cold at the same time, but the idea of having something to stave it off is immediately attractive. The red light of a setting sun is in sharp contrast to the coolness of the coming evening, and now that he's slowed down, Steven is already beginning to feel a bit chilled. He pulls his cloak over his wings and nods.]

Y-Yes please. [He shuffles closer to her, his antennae folded low against his hair.] Are you okay, out here?

Better when I'm indoors, but... yeah, actually! I started working for the orchestra, doing music and illusions - I've been spending so much time there lately, it's actually kind of perfect for me!

[He smiles, and it's genuine. It's been a healthy way to explore his magical abilities, as well as keep practicing something he loves.]

Illusions are just so... natural. Anything I think about, I can start making it seem real.

[That last bit is a little bit wistful. He basically know how that can be kind of creepy conceptually.]

starseedling: (he helped me when no one did)
From: [personal profile] starseedling
Thanks!

[He wastes no time clasping it between his hands, eager for the warmth to kick in.]

You know, I still have one of those charms that protects from fire, from the bonfires when we first got here. Now I have a matching set!

[He grins at her, and then looks over to the sunset.]

It's... easier to make stuff than to take it away, but... I can make myself disappear when I have to. That was actually the first thing I ever did, with these powers.

starseedling: (the creepiest pasta is lasagna)
From: [personal profile] starseedling
Yeah...

[He agrees softly, the cold starting to become less of a barrier for him, but a little bit of a shiver still there. The things in that cave were horrible, and it's hard not to think of them whenever reminded.]

It's nice to know that I could still protect people like that, if I had to. But... there are more fun things I can do, too!

[He lifts one of his hands, concentrating. A few tiny motes of swirling flame appear, reminiscent of will-o-wisps. They will project a kind of warmth that is entirely imaginary, but comforting all the same.]

I can sort of make things warm, but... it's not real! So I was trying not to do it when I'm actually cold, because... it wouldn't actually keep my body from getting hurt by it.

...Also... I can always tell it's fake, so... they don't actually help me as much.

THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION

[Steven boggles at his own illusory flames for a moment, realizing he doesn't know the answer to that. He blinks.]

Um... I don't really know! I should try that. Maybe it would just... make you imagine what you think is there?

From: [personal profile] starseedling
[He'd gotten so busy talking, he almost lost track of why he had asked her here to begin with. He straightens with surprise, his eyes widening a little as she asks - oh, right. Okay.

This kind of thing isn't especially hard for him, expressing affection is easy. But, asking for something of someone is a little more difficult.]


Um... yeah. Kind of. Remember how you asked me, before, if I wanted to Bond? And I said we should get to know each other better first? Well...

[His cheeks flush, just a little beyond their reaction to the cold.]

I think you're really cool, Toby. And smart. And you took care of me during the full moon before, even though I was being weird and you didn't have to.

I... think we should Bond. If you still want to. I... I do.

[The package left on her doorstep contains a plate of homemade cookies from Marie and a fresh lily flower.

“Happy Holidays! We are not friends but I hope we can become friends in the coming year.” is what the attached note says]
