❀①. ◤video◢

[ as Viktor manages to turn on his video feed he opens his mouth, averts his eyes toward the ground, glances left, and fidgets with the bottom of his shirt before speaking. ]

Ah...um. It happened a-again. I'm somewhere weird again- c-can someone tell me where I am?- I uh.

[ Viktor tries to take a calming breath, and he closes his eyes, before letting his mind do all the work for him. it was so much easier to not fight the repercussions of his powers. ]

I-I'm nervous and- a little scared- and I-I can't calm down- I had one of these in Tano- but- [ a gulp of breath, it's hard to breathe when he babbles. he raises his free hand up to the crown on his head, nestled in his dark hair. plants. talking about them could always calm him down - ]

This crown is um- made of rowan...they're s-said to be magic and- to protect against bad creatures... I-In mythology it's said to...to protect someone from getting lost on a journey.

But...I-I don't think that means it can help me get home...does it... [ he looks pretty dejected, before shutting off the feed. ]

Ah...

[Rubi is a little surprised, but it's more of a pleasant feeling. He's never sure what to do when humans show him terror.]

I've never met anyone like you before, either... oh, yes.

[And now he gives an elegant half bow.]

I don't think I told you--my name is Rubi. It's a pleasure to meet you.

[Rubi watches this steadily and with a gentle, amused smile. He finds Viktor's reactions interesting.]

Viktor... [Sort of quietly repeating it.] I like your name.

[Then he holds out his hand as if to grasp the human's--a handshake, maybe? Maybe. But he pauses mid-gesture as if he's unsure of taking Viktor's hand.

Well. He did get kicked for this last time...]

[Rubi smiles at the blushing too... That would be the color of his blood against the skin. He's not quite sure why that happens to humans, but it's fascinating.

He tilts his head at the actual words, as if he's a bit confused. He is because well...

Rubi isn't sure how to shake hands. If he likes them, he usually greets them in a way he learned a few hundred years ago (though the last human he protected, Masumi, hadn't seemed to like it at all.) Perhaps Viktor won't mind though.]

[Rubi grasps the hand carefully and lifts it to kiss the back of it. Really this is quite normal for him. He still doesn't understand why Masumi dislikes it.

Though, if Viktor does, he supposes the human can kick him as well.

The angel's skin is oddly cool to the touch and the texture is a bit harder, but it still feels basically like a human hand, or at least a humanoid one.]

[.......]

Ah, there is something wrong with it. Is it because humans don't greet each other that way anymore?

[identity profile] trashheap-angel.livejournal.com 2011-07-17 04:10 am (UTC)(link)
[He lets Viktor's hand go, but then he holds out his own and smiles, as if there's nothing awkward about it.]

Can you show me your kind of handshake?

[identity profile] trashheap-angel.livejournal.com 2011-07-17 04:25 am (UTC)(link)
Oh. I thought it was a way to greet any person, if you like them. That must be why Masumi got upset... He was angrier though.

[Yet he still seems puzzled. He lets Viktor take his hand and bring it up and down. His head even follows the motion in a sort of slow nod.]

I'll remember for next time, Viktor.

[Now Rubi frowns a bit. Perhaps Viktor isn't angry, but he does seem upset. Yet a 'handshake,' isn't very different from kissing a hand...? Though you're only touching with fingertips, so that could be it.

He still isn't quite grasping it, but the mumbled words themselves still make him curious.]


What do you do with them? Boys that are friends...human boys.

[Though really his only angel friend is a girl.]

[identity profile] trashheap-angel.livejournal.com 2011-07-17 04:45 am (UTC)(link)
...Oh.

[Rubi sounds rather surprised and for a long moment he just stares at Viktor. This boy is friendly and interesting, so that's a bit startling to the angel. Humans always seem to be surrounded by people and form many connections with them, even much quieter and less friendly ones.]

I'm not a human, but, would you like to be friends?

[identity profile] trashheap-angel.livejournal.com 2011-07-17 04:58 am (UTC)(link)
Me too.

[Rubi smiles gently at him.]

Did you want me to show you the village?

[identity profile] trashheap-angel.livejournal.com 2011-07-17 05:07 am (UTC)(link)
[Rubi gets to his feet. As an afterthought, he vanishes his wings, since he will be walking instead of flying back.]

I can show you the inn, too. I think some of the humans stay there, or in houses--I don't live anywhere myself yet.

[He and his fairy friend have been hobos on rooftops and sleeping who knows where else.]

((ooc: idk did you want to continue or maybe assume they walked there and leave it at that?))

[identity profile] trashheap-angel.livejournal.com 2011-07-17 05:26 am (UTC)(link)
[Rubi glances behind him where the wings had been, and he just shrugs a bit. They're fairly normal to him after all.]

I'm not sure either. If you find out, maybe you can tell me.

[Luckily Rubi isn't very heavy, despite what he's made of. So he probably won't crush the flowers any more than any other human of his height.]

((ooc: It's cool either way /o/ or Rubi can just follow Viktor into Salt's thread xD Salt-mun said it's ok to commentlog there too.))
