I wonder if I should be offended or relieved that I wasn’t your first choice. Should I be heading over soon?
[ The mention of hair all gets a pause and a separate message. He was never quite close to Kilian, but it was such a relief to see someone he personally knew—from his world, not several renditions of Warriors and core figures that seem to remember someone different. Of course, he still has R’yoji. Seeing that Megumi is also from their Crystal, he finds some comfort in her as well... ]
If you miss him, I can send you some of his best pictures. I’d advise looking at them in private, however.
I have more experience with him throwing me across the room, but you're not wrong.
[ FUN TIMES. Except not. He's sure that Kilian was drunk... Then everyone else was drunk. ]
Being able to see anyone sooner or later isn't an outstanding argument to make. Some days one can go on without any longing, but other days they find themselves thinking about someone even if for a moment. Quite frankly, I would admit that I miss his booming voice and rank breath.
That's because I used to do that to him. Guess he finally took it out on someone.
[ Don't ask. Actually, ask, the situations were usually hilarious... and sometimes even on purpose when they were playing around to see how far they could throw one another.
The next text though, makes her ears droop. Damnit Seji, don't talk about logic when she's trying to pretend she's fine. She's glad he can't see her face and her reply doesn't address that observation entirely— what, show her emotions? Ew. ]
His breath was better than most. He did mention you, too. Said you'd kiss and abandon me.
[ Ha ha. ]
Not that that'd be new. But did you ever kiss him? He said you didn't, but surely!!
[ like... what... why would you throw anyone like a ball? no one asked for that kind of punishment? He is surprised to hear that Kilian talked about him. Maybe he should feel flattered. ]
In a way, he isn't wrong. I'm not a committed sort, at least in a romantic sense.
[ With R'yoji knowledge of his first Cordis cycle from the last moon before, he knows distinctively that he had a very large appetite. It didn't tie to just simply food either. He burned through his chroma so quickly that he found himself always hungry for food, but also sex. An almost endless engagement of that particular activity for almost five days straight. He was fortunate to have V'seji even though he worried for his state after all of it.
If not him, it would have been some other unfortunate soul- prismal or moonblessed. That he isn't too sure he would have been too keen with. Just because he doesn't like not being himself around someone he does not know. Even worse around someone he does. With the approaching next cycle he was growing a bit distracted, almost worried. V'seji for the most part was a bit similar to his previous cycle. Except, his mood seemed much more soured, and almost seemed to be hiding something. Eventually he did explain himself but it truly dawned further how easily affected they were to these moonblessings.
However, things went a little differently. The first day started more or less the same... except, there was a bit of a pain in his back. What caused for concern was nothing being there. Minus the various old scars and tattoos anyways. It wasn't until the second day he realized why. Feathers of red, black and white coat the two large wings against his back. Almost the length of his body and not counting when they span outwards. Not that he's checked, having immediately panicked at sight of them and nearly hurt himself in said panic. Once he recomposed himself (as well enough as he's gonna be able to) he found himself merely sitting on the floor with wings branched down behind him over the floor. Every feather puffed and flared out with the amount of distraught he's currently feeling. Looking the perfect image of a miserable bird.
He heard of physical changes but they still did not prepare him to have wings of all things. Realizing Seji was not yet home should give him thinking up some ideas to hide said changes.. if it was even possible with wings of this size. Said wings flicker for a moment and draw tightly close against his back with a grumble of his voice. Distantly he strongly feels as if he oughta fix and preen those feathers back in place but he dares not touch them, there's an underlying fear regarding that. ]
[ V'seji is quite happy whenever it isn't Sanguis cycle... Especially since after his hissy fit earlier, he wants to push the experience out of his mind—the rage, the agitation, the jealousy, and the scattered hard scales across his body. It wasn't a full-blown transformation, but it was enough to startle him.
That's the past! They can go on with their lives, snooping for a way back home, and maybe enjoy Prismatica in between. V'seji's ears droop as he returns to their flat empty-handed. He had a good drink or two, at least. Opening the door, his tail sways happily as he thinks about making dinner with his friend... It's been some time since they had their talk in the Glory—not that he expects an answer. ]
... Oh?
[ He's. Speechless? Eyes wide, he merely looks at the matted wings on his friend's back. Shaking his head, shutting his eyes tight, he thinks maybe he's seeing things. Hallucinations isn't too odd. However, when he opens his eyes again... He's still met with red plumage. His hands raise up above his chest, almost forming into paws as he leans back with ears perked upright, aghast. ]
I've heard about physical changes, but it's different to witness it firsthand. [ If he's taken aback, then R'yoji must be hysterical despite his rather cool composure right now. He has to be calm. This isn't a big deal! Ears pin back as he presses his lips into a thin line, then he speaks: ] Are you all right?
[ At the sound of the door do those wings flare out, feeling them bump into anything is such a strange sensation that it makes him jump. Having another limb he did not have before.. Feathers are equally puffed out as they do a single flapping notion as if to calm his bundled nerves once he realizes who it is. Just V'seji. Nobody else from the sounds of it. That's good. This is fine. R'yoji felt too.. vulnerable to want to be looked upon by anyone else.
His head turns back with ears atop his head still pinned firmly back. Imagine having them- he almost wants to say, to counter him witnessing it. However, he would be turning this at his friend and it is not his fault he's gotten these changes. Not to mention at the end of the Sanguis cycle, his friend did reveal he had some scales littering over dark skin..
So, he bites back the reply, merely brooding though the frustration and panic leaves him a little to give his friend a frown with a knit of his brows. Is he alright..? What does it look like? Were it anyone else he may have been tempted to snap but he just sighs with a light lift of those wings until they just drape upon the floor with them extending out. As though the pressure of them being so tightly wound against his back was a weight he could not get comfortable with. ] Well enough, despite everything 'suppose.
They are as attached to me as my very own ears and tail. There's no helping other than to get use to them. [ He.. may or may not have tugged at them in his panic. They're still a bit sensitive. ]
[ V'seji can see the waning patience in his friend's demeanor and posture, but he doesn't call him out on that just yet. R'yoji did well on controlling his tempter, after all, so he only gives him an apologetic smile as he bridges the gap between them. Despite the new limbs, he can see it's his friend—his voice, his face, those knit of his eyebrows, and everything else.
His tail swishes low, showing he's submitting to him as he approaches. There won't be any teasing or bullying while R'yoji is feeing this vulnerable, at least not at the moment. V'seji circles around his friend with curious eyes and ears slightly perked. Visibly, he can see some signs of tear and soreness, but he keeps the stifled and concerned chuckle down. ]
Yes, yes. They may be temporary, however, so don't grow too fond of them. [ Hopefully this uplifts his mood as he continues to size the span of the wings. By the Twelve... They may cross the room with one flare. Again, this makes V'seji glad that he was afflicted by scales, easy to hide and clean, compared to this. Stroking his chin, he's at his limit. ] May I?
[ Just slightly, he lifts his head, bi-colored eyes watching his friend closely but with a look not as harsh with his agitation leaving him. It's sight of that smile that has his shoulders dipping just a little before his gaze catches sight of movement from that tail. He knows his friend means no harm with his light and careful posture.
Which is why eyes are soon to flutter to a close with one twitch of an ear now and then at sound of those steps maneuvering carefully around him. He hardly minds the curiosity. However, under that watchful gaze does those wings twitch just slightly as if to curl a little more in to be mindful of those steps.
Nothing moves, outside a flick of his tail though eyes do flutter up towards his friend when he speaks. ] Don't really plan on it. [ Which sounds more of a grumble than a reply. Ears flicker back again, pointedly looking to the side until back at his friend. Blinking just a little at the inquiry until he avoids shrugging his shoulder and instead acknowledges it with a short nod.
It's only a second later do his words leave him. ] Since it's you, I don't mind.
[ Which is frankly the truth. But, there's a bit of regret saying it like that, almost wincing once he realizes he's said it out loud. He straightens his posture a little to tuck one wing in to give him an easier time to come closer behind. Which has him taking a closer look at said wings and noticing the disorderly puffed feathers. Ugh, the urge to preen never felt any stronger than it does now, but he absolutely refuses. Maybe V'seji touching them will ease the urge. He hopes, anyways. ]
[ V'seji doesn't think much of R'yoji's words, considering that it might be what he says to friends. The other Miqo'te was never quite a social butterfly, so it isn't at all suspicious. However, it does maky his chest swell with some warmth to know that he's special in some way. His eyebrows arch as he's finally behind his friend, scanning the large wings with a critical eye.
They're a beautiful mix of color, but he doesn't think R'yoji wants to hear any compliments right now. Instead, he smooths a hand over the feathers before going in to fix the puffs and ruffles. It's not exactly like fur, but they seem to work similarly when he slides his hand across. In attempts to comfort him, he pets the limbs a bit once he's done fixing the plumage. ]
What have you done with these so far?
[ Peering over his shoulder, he's curious if maybe R'yoji tried to fly? Or if he tried flapping them... Since his friend has calmed down, it should be fine to ask? Maybe a couple of more rubs will make him feel better? Gold eyes trail down and land on the sore sections again, deciding to gently massage them. ]
Aside from maybe trying to tear them off.
[ It must be safe to tease now. Calm down. Shhh. ]
[ Ears twitch up with a sudden flick of his tail when he feels hands on those large wings. It's... strange. The end tufts of his tail twitches with a cant of his head while he shifts against those fingers. It isn't too foreign- the same sorta sensation he gets when one touches his ears or tail. Still, wings quiver under the contact almost as if ticklish with a soft sound. This feels.. good. A lot more than he expected. Enough to relax his posture with a content sigh.
Eyes glance over with a wing holding up as though to inspect the preening job and almost croons at sight of the work. He hums instead, though looking pleased nonetheless and seeming more satisfied with how the appearance of them look now than moments earlier. His gaze flutters low as those fingers massage and rub at the limbs and he leans a little with a slight stretch as if to provide more room to touch. He wants to feel more of those fingers on him. Feeling the beginning starvation for chroma.
He blinks a little attention as the inquiry comes, ears swerving back with a slow calculating switch of his tail. ] Nothing. Don't really plan to do anything with them.
[ Nervously he folds them against his back before they start to droop once those fingers start massaging at the soreness and winding tightness of said limbs. He frowns a little at the teasing comment and huffs out without another word. There's a few scratches along the bridge of the wings from when he desperately tried to grasp and tear at them. Only stopping once the pain got to him and he fully realized how intact they were.
Still for that comment one wing slightly thwaps at his friend with a slight puff before feathers relax again. Eyes glinting almost amusingly after he's done so. Yeah, it's no different than moving his tail or reacting with his ears so it comes quite naturally. Despite how slightly terrifying that is. ] I did originally have plans to head out and do some shopping.
[ But now he doesn't know. His hunger whines at him, yearning for more food than they currently have and V'seji already went out so he doesn't want to trouble him. A blanket of feathers drape out again upon the floor though closer to his friend as if seeking for his companion to continue preening said feathers. Please let him look good thank you very much. ]
[ Hey... V'seji's eyebrows furrow at the thwap, ears twitching out of slight annoyance. He hasn't been batted by a wing since they played with some griffins from the Fringes. Albeit, they weren't grumpy as they were excited. He wonders if R'yoji and those children share the same spots on their wings. For now, he continues to massage the the area where they connect, frowning at how attached they are to his friend's back.
The scales were already unwelcome, now this. He tries to bring a smile back on his face, attempting to be optimistic in these times. Now fingers start grooming those wings, giving little scritches right under the arc. It's like scratching the extension of his back, isn't it? ]
I don't see why these wings should stop you. This world is filled with oddities and no one would bat an eyelash at this.
[ V'seji doesn't at all mind going out, especially if that comforts his friend in checking off his shopping list. His tail sways side by side as his ears perk up, showing his friend a toothy grin as he peeks over his shoulder again to catch a glimpse of him. ]
If you don't like all the longing gazes, could always hide under these.
[ Let him demonstrate by forcefully prying a wing off of R'yoji's back, forcing it to expand so he can circle around it and wrap it around him like a coat. Now pressed shoulder to shoulder, gold eyes gleam at him, very satisfied with himself. ]
[ The longer his friend grooms his wings do his eyes begin to droop once more. The purr rumbling in his throat becoming more apparent as fingers scratch at spots he was not aware felt so satisfying. Ears fold back at an angle show that despite not looking to him, listening as his friend replies to him and he knows he makes a good point. R'yoji is just.. too self conscious of himself.
If anybody gave him attention it would be mostly a figment of his imagination. Rather, he does know that some effects of this moonblessing attract others to him. He has to hope it does not keep to its record. A light hum leaves him but at this point it's hard to distinguish whether it's to the scratches or actually his reply. Bi-colored eyes do blink as he feels his friend shift behind him, giving him a curious look as he meets with that sunshine grin with an almost telltale gleam in amber eyes.
Briefly brows knit in confusion until he blinks at the notion and watches his companion duck and move around the wing before forcing it to curl around him. He blinks a few more in his surprise until a snort of laughter escapes him. Lips raise in amusement, chuckling now with a tilt of his head. ] I think that's more likely to have the opposite effect.
[ Yet the corner of his eyes crinkle with mirth and mood does seem to have lighten considerably. That wing curls a little more against his cherished friend, tucking him closer with a lean in almost nose to nose. ] At least you're having fun.
[ But he doesn't say it as if to fault him. It helps a little. Like this, he almost cocoons him protectively, feeling a swell of warmth in his chest as he raises a hand to gently brush an ear. Then his arms come to a cross with another tilt of his head. ] Well, I'd appreciate your company if you don't mind accompanying me.
[ Does he need to ask? Probably not but. He does so anyways. Always finding himself more at ease with V'seji by his side. That becomes so much more apparent to him nowadays. ]
[ He bumps their foreheads together when his friend draws close, thinking maybe it would be good to enjoy some time in bed. It's... Odd to have such a peaceful time where they can consider sleeping over working more often than not. When Chroma, a currency gained from physical contact can be monetized so easily exists, what else should one do?
Pursue dreams? It's something V'seji never quite thought of... Money and other resources have always been the goal for their services, then there's acting out of goodwill. He contemplates a bit with a hum, even when his ear is brushed with meticulous fingertips. It flickers wildly at that, drawing his attention back. Maybe his purpose or dream right now is to take care of his friend. Yes. That will do. ]
I surmise I can take a nap like this. [ He brings the wing closer to cocoon him more, like wrapping himself in a thick duvet. Ears fold against his head as he looks at R'yoji with big gold eyes. It's cozy. He's cozy. ] However, I am willing to put that on hold for some shopping. Lead and I shall follow.
[ He says that, but he's still... Going to wait here in the warm confines of R'yoji's new wings. Nose wrinkling, the wings smell just like his friend. He had thought they would smell more alien and unfamiliar, but it only solidifies these modifications stem from them.
It's weird. This is all weird. It's fine. It'll go away. ]
[ Red dyed ears swerve forward at the bump of their foreheads with a soft thump making itself known as his tail raises and drops against the floor. Only for the tufted appendage to sway contently behind him. The warm swell of emotions that his friend meets him halfway with such a notion upon his leaning in makes him quite happy.
It's the very reason for the soft smile on his lips. A look that only grows fonder as those round large eyes peer at him. Being gazed upon with such a look only yearns to tempt him. Wishing nothing more than to kiss him. To show this very person- to express the very emotions he feels for him. He hardly bats an eye with his friend curling said wing around him more. Not when the other wing makes a soft shush of his feathers as it drags to curl around as well.
Coming upon the scene would make it look nothing but a cocoon of feathers. As if R'yoji's very intentions were to hide them from view. Some privacy in this small little world of theirs. His head tilts to rub their ears together now with a touch of affection. Unable to hold himself back from it with a happy rumble. ] I can hold off from shopping for a bit longer. I'll wake you in a short while.
[ Though his growing appetite only seeks to get bigger, it quells enough with the contact he has on his friend now. One hand idly running fingers and light claws over the span of his lower back as if to encourage his companion to nap a few winks. He did enough sleeping himself so he's content with just holding him like this. Something he could easily grow accustomed to.
Idly, he runs his nose against the crook of that neck, drinking in the coolness and comforting scent of his friend. By now these wings are a distant thought in the back of his mind. What with his attention so solely focused on V'seji. The earlier moments of his initial panic all but a foggy memory by now.
In the end, what he feels for his friend, what comfort and ease he has in his company is always familiar.]
[ A little present addressed to V'seji will be delivered on the eve of before the winter celebrations, one that includes a set of small fragrance bottles, and an infuser— as well as a stylish shimmering hand-sewn scarf in his favourite colour. Also included are two tiny hand sewn charms of what looks like a little pair of miqo resembling R'yoji and him holding hands! ]

oct 7th, action;
If not him, it would have been some other unfortunate soul- prismal or moonblessed. That he isn't too sure he would have been too keen with. Just because he doesn't like not being himself around someone he does not know. Even worse around someone he does. With the approaching next cycle he was growing a bit distracted, almost worried. V'seji for the most part was a bit similar to his previous cycle. Except, his mood seemed much more soured, and almost seemed to be hiding something.

:gasp:
Which is why eyes are soon to flutter to a close with one twitch of an ear now and then at sound of those steps maneuvering carefully around him. He hardly minds the curiosity. However, under that watchful gaze does those wings twitch just slightly as if to curl a little more in to be mindful of those steps.
Nothing moves, outside a flick of his tail though eyes do flutter up towards his friend when he speaks. ] Don't really plan on it. [ Which sounds more of a grumble than a reply. Ears flicker back again, pointedly looking to the side until back at his friend. Blinking just a little at the inquiry until he avoids shrugging his shoulder and instead acknowledges it with a short nod.
It's only a second later do his words leave him. ] Since it's you, I don't mind.
[ Which is frankly the truth. But, there's a bit of regret saying it like that, almost wincing once he realizes he's said it out loud. He straightens his posture a little to tuck one wing in to give him an easier time to come closer behind. Which has him taking a closer look at said wings and noticing the disorderly puffed feathers. Ugh, the urge to preen never felt any stronger than it does now, but he absolutely refuses. Maybe V'seji touching them will ease the urge. He hopes, anyways. ]

What have you done with these so far?
[ Peering over his shoulder, he's curious if maybe R'yoji tried to fly? Or if he tried flapping them... Since his friend has calmed down, it should be fine to ask? Maybe a couple of more rubs will make him feel better? Gold eyes trail down and land on the sore sections again, deciding to gently massage them. ]
Aside from maybe trying to tear them off.
[ It must be safe to tease now. Calm down. Shhh. ]
no subject
Eyes glance over with a wing holding up as though to inspect the preening job and almost croons at sight of the work. He hums instead, though looking pleased nonetheless and seeming more satisfied with how the appearance of them look now than moments earlier. His gaze flutters low as those fingers massage and rub at the limbs and he leans a little with a slight stretch as if to provide more room to touch. He wants to feel more of those fingers on him. Feeling the beginning starvation for chroma.
He blinks a little attention as the inquiry comes, ears swerving back with a slow calculating switch of his tail. ] Nothing. Don't really plan to do anything with them.
[ Nervously he folds them against his back before they start to droop once those fingers start massaging at the soreness and winding tightness of said limbs. He frowns a little at the teasing comment and huffs out without another word. There's a few scratches along the bridge of the wings from when he desperately tried to grasp and tear at them. Only stopping once the pain got to him and he fully realized how intact they were.
Still for that comment one wing slightly thwaps at his friend with a slight puff before feathers relax again. Eyes glinting almost amusingly after he's done so. Yeah, it's no different than moving his tail or reacting with his ears so it comes quite naturally. Despite how slightly terrifying that is. ] I did originally have plans to head out and do some shopping.
[ But now he doesn't know. His hunger whines at him, yearning for more food than they currently have and V'seji already went out so he doesn't want to trouble him. A blanket of feathers drape out again upon the floor though closer to his friend as if seeking for his companion to continue preening said feathers. Please let him look good thank you very much. ]

The scales were already unwelcome, now this. He tries to bring a smile back on his face, attempting to be optimistic in these times. Now fingers start grooming those wings, giving little scritches right under the arc. It's like scratching the extension of his back, isn't it? ]
I don't see why these wings should stop you. This world is filled with oddities and no one would bat an eyelash at this.
[ V'seji doesn't at all mind going out, especially if that comforts his friend in checking off his shopping list. His tail sways side by side as his ears perk up, showing his friend a toothy grin as he peeks over his shoulder again to catch a glimpse of him. ]
If you don't like all the longing gazes, could always hide under these.
[ Let him demonstrate by forcefully prying a wing off of R'yoji's back, forcing it to expand so he can circle around it and wrap it around him like a coat. Now pressed shoulder to shoulder, gold eyes gleam at him, very satisfied with himself. ]

If anybody gave him attention it would be mostly a figment of his imagination. Rather, he does know that some effects of this moonblessing attract others to him. He has to hope it does not keep to its record. A light hum leaves him but at this point it's hard to distinguish whether it's to the scratches or actually his reply. Bi-colored eyes do blink as he feels his friend shift behind him, giving him a curious look as he meets with that sunshine grin with an almost telltale gleam in amber eyes.
Briefly brows knit in confusion until he blinks at the notion and watches his companion duck and move around the wing before forcing it to curl around him. He blinks a few more in his surprise until a snort of laughter escapes him. Lips raise in amusement, chuckling now with a tilt of his head. ] I think that's more likely to have the opposite effect.
[ Yet the corner of his eyes crinkle with mirth and mood does seem to have lighten considerably. That wing curls a little more against his cherished friend, tucking him closer with a lean in almost nose to nose. ] At least you're having fun.
[ But he doesn't say it as if to fault him. It helps a little. Like this, he almost cocoons him protectively, feeling a swell of warmth in his chest as he raises a hand to gently brush an ear. Then his arms come to a cross with another tilt of his head. ] Well, I'd appreciate your company if you don't mind accompanying me.
[ Does he need to ask? Probably not but. He does so anyways. Always finding himself more at ease with V'seji by his side. That becomes so much more apparent to him nowadays. ]

[ He bumps their foreheads together when his friend draws close, thinking maybe it would be good to enjoy some time in bed. It's... Odd to have such a peaceful time where they can consider sleeping over working more often than not. When Chroma, a currency gained from physical contact can be monetized so easily exists, what else should one do?
Pursue dreams? It's something V'seji never quite thought of... Money and other resources have always been the goal for their services, then there's acting out of goodwill. He contemplates a bit with a hum, even when his ear is brushed with meticulous fingertips. It flickers wildly at that, drawing his attention back. Maybe his purpose or dream right now is to take care of his friend. Yes. That will do. ]
I surmise I can take a nap like this. [ He brings the wing closer to cocoon him more, like wrapping himself in a thick duvet. Ears fold against his head as he looks at R'yoji with big gold eyes. It's cozy. He's cozy. ] However, I am willing to put that on hold for some shopping. Lead and I shall follow.
[ He says that, but he's still... Going to wait here in the warm confines of R'yoji's new wings. Nose wrinkling, the wings smell just like his friend. He had thought they would smell more alien and unfamiliar, but it only solidifies these modifications stem from them.
It's weird. This is all weird. It's fine. It'll go away. ]

It's the very reason for the soft smile on his lips. A look that only grows fonder as those round large eyes peer at him. Being gazed upon with such a look only yearns to tempt him. Wishing nothing more than to kiss him. To show this very person- to express the very emotions he feels for him. He hardly bats an eye with his friend curling said wing around him more. Not when the other wing makes a soft shush of his feathers as it drags to curl around as well.
Coming upon the scene would make it look nothing but a cocoon of feathers. As if R'yoji's very intentions were to hide them from view. Some privacy in this small little world of theirs. His head tilts to rub their ears together now with a touch of affection. Unable to hold himself back from it with a happy rumble. ] I can hold off from shopping for a bit longer. I'll wake you in a short while.
[ Though his growing appetite only seeks to get bigger, it quells enough with the contact he has on his friend now. One hand idly running fingers and light claws over the span of his lower back as if to encourage his companion to nap a few winks. He did enough sleeping himself so he's content with just holding him like this. Something he could easily grow accustomed to.
Idly, he runs his nose against the crook of that neck, drinking in the coolness and comforting scent of his friend. By now these wings are a distant thought in the back of his mind. What with his attention so solely focused on V'seji. The earlier moments of his initial panic all but a foggy memory by now.
In the end, what he feels for his friend, what comfort and ease he has in his company is always familiar.]
