[occulthymns]

[Euri isn't entirely sure what happened. One moment she was out in the forest, gathering some herbs for another batch of potions for her mother. She had managed to climb up one of the smaller giant mushrooms in other to gather some rare hanging dragon's breath, when everything suddenly changed. That mushroom changed into a metal street light, and all the trees had become huge, ugly brick buildings. From green to... greys and browns.

With a squeak of surprise she lets go of the street light, landing very unceremoniously onto the sidewalk and the contents of her basket ending up scattered all over. The only not completely terrible thing about her change in situations is that it's late evening and the street looks empty, so it seems no one saw any of that.

Several choice swears later Euri is pushing herself to her feet, glancing about thoroughly confused. What the fuck? She stays a deer in headlights for several minutes before she decides to do the first thing that comes to mind, and that is awkwardly moving to gather up her basket and its spilled contents.]

[...oh.  Wheeze kskdjdjsks leans away a little, watching her out of the corner of his eye]

Is it...?

[occulthymns]

Mhmm. It isn't normal hair! [She's running her thumb over the barbs.]

[cachinnate]

[They catch a little on her skin, but mostly they stay fanned together aldkjfl Trying to lock together the way they're supposed to, but they're too short, too few, and too weak )8 And Ran... shifts a little, pulling further from her but tilting his head so she can keep toying with it]

Not normal human hair, no... [Normal for him though lskdfkljlj]

[occulthymns]

Do all fairies have hair like this? [Because she thinks this is very very interesting, to the point where she's leaning in closer so she can get a look at the rest of his hair.]

[cachinnate]

[slkdjflksjdf still watching her carefully and he... turns his head a little, trying to hide... the feathers at the nape of his neck fffff]

Some. Depends where they came from, my dear.

[occulthymns]

Explain. [Poking at and touching his hair B)]

[cachinnate]

[LKSDJFLJSDF shivering a little, relaxing some if she ever runs her fingers through it and then lsdkjf tensing up again as he realizes he's calming down fffff]

[Also... confused wheeze]

Explain what...?

[occulthymns]

Where do you come from? [She will so be running her fingers through his hair all curious.]

[cachinnate]

[lskdjlfkjadklfjadfl!!!! omg bowing his head towards her before too long, this faint... comfortable croak slipping past him sobs]

I've. Come from a number of places by now, dear, I have been around a very long time...

[occulthymns]

[He's starting to remind her of Dog, so she won't let up.]

How long?

[cachinnate]

I am... [omg thinking is hard??? He wants to make her stop so he can like... focus again sdklfj but it feels good sob]

Since the world began. [Huu, hums comfortably]

[occulthymns]

[B> She's leaning in a bit, kind of amused.] How old is this place, then?

[cachinnate]

[lskjdf he's... totally relaxed fff probably eerily so, just folded forward under her hands]

Quite old, I think... [...lksdf he doesn't get how time works sorry Euri he has no idea]

[occulthymns]

[He's a big puppy :>>>>>]

Then let's go back to where you're from. You should name some of those places.

[cachinnate]

[sldfjlj non he's a big fierce raven )8!!! FFFFF speaking of which, that faint croaking... thing... is becoming a more regular occurrence... repeating itself every few moments]

Mmn... I'd rather not name places, dear. [The only place he draws influence from is his field and... yeah nope. Nope nope nope unpleasant memories all over that. LSKJDFLKJ THIS IS SUCH A RIDICULOUS MISUNDERSTANDING GOING ON RIGHT NOW FFFF]

[occulthymns]

[She's verrry familiar with bird noises, so she's starting to sound familiar to her.]

Then describe them.

[cachinnate]

[Suddenly moves again, the croak becoming rather distressed as he grabs her elbow and draws a sharp breath]

No.

[occulthymns]

[She freezes immediately.]

W - why not??

[cachinnate]

[Trying to sit up and pull away from her, slowly, shaking his head a little]

It's gone now, my dear. Doesn't matter...

[occulthymns]

[She will be smart and not move.]

Oh... sorry....

[cachinnate]

[Hmm... lifts his head and his eyes are... raven eyes... for a second. Then he blinks and they return to normal. He is going to... watch her for a good long moment here... and then let her arms go again and lean away from her]

Of course, dear. [Just don't do it again 8'|]

[occulthymns]

[He is getting staaaared at as she nods a tiny bit. He seems a lot more like a demon than a fairy....]

..... [Also this is awkward now.]

[cachinnate]

[lalksdf yes it is... and it will continue for a little longer here... and then he grins and reaches over to pat her face again]

I come from ravens, dear, that's why my hair is like that. [There u go ('8]

[occulthymns]

[Wait, a raven?? That makes her brighten up considerably.]

A raven?? So fairies can resemble animals like some Demons??

[cachinnate]

[sdflkjsdf wow cutie. Cackles a little]

Mm, it's fairly common, my dear, especially in the eldest of us...
