❀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. ]

But...why?
no subject
[Talking about his friend Salt.]
...Why what?
no subject
no subject
I was told the Fae are sometimes benevolent, and other times cruel. Perhaps they don't agree on how to use us.
no subject
W-Why would they give us these then...? [ he touches his crown, looking confused. ]
no subject
[Curious head tilt. Though he also looks a bit confused when Viktor touches his crown.]
I am not sure. For humans it makes sense... they are weak against the creatures here. But, I was given one too, and I don't need its protection.
no subject
Really...? [ a tilt of his head. ] What are you?-
[ his eyes widen and he quickly waves his hands in front of his face, face flushing. ]
A-ah...that was rude- I-I'm sorry-
no subject
Is there something wrong with flowers? I didn't think they were dangerous...
[His brows draw together in confusion.]
It was? [...] I'm a Golem. That is like an angel, though not a true one. An artificial one.
no subject
W-Well- a lot of plants can be very dangerous. Like water hemlock or angel trumpets, o-or hogweed- [ he covers his mouth to keep his babbling at bay, it really seems like he can't control it. once he's quieted down he stares at the ground, meekly replying: ]
Y-You're an angel...that's so amazing...
1/2
Don't you like talking about them? You seem to...?
I'm not sure those plants would damage me, though.
[Except then you stop talking. Rubi doesn't get it, but then again a lot of human emotional subtlety flies 9000 miles above his head.]
no subject
[He sounds a bit sad. The way Viktor said that reminded him rather suddenly of someone.]
no subject
I hope not...! B-But I wouldn't want to find out...
[ when the other man stops talking, Viktor's eyes widen and he tilts his head. h-had he said something wrong? that didn't seem to be the complete case though... ]
I-I do...is that okay?
no subject
No, you don't sound annoying. I don't understand what you mean by forced though. If you love to talk about them, you can.
What are 'angel trumpets?'
[Rubi studies Viktor's reaction very closely, if only to keep himself from picturing the other boy. No. This one is very different. That odd heavy sad feeling lifts slowly, and his expression returns to normal.]
It is okay. [...] Someone said that to me before, but most are afraid if they know what I am.
1/2
[ he takes a deep breath this time, readying himself for the onslaught of verbaltude that is about to erupt from his person at this moment. ]
An angel's trumpet is a plant native in South America... t-they're very poisonous to the body and can kill people and animals if they eat too much. Some people ingest them for rituals...b-but it can be fatal...it's so dangerous...
[ he pauses for a moment before opening his hands, as he does, an orange-yellow trumpet-shaped blossom appears in his hands, almost like magic. ]
They look like this...
no subject
I'm not um. Scared of you sir.
1/2
[He's nodding slowly at the plant's description. Angels can be deadly creatures, whether his kind or true ones, so he isn't surprised at all.
...until Viktor creates one in his hands. Then Rubi's golden eyes widen.]
Oh! You can create life.
no subject
no subject
[ he spots that sad face, and a small smile teases his own lips. ]
Do...you like flowers?
no subject
[Rubi blinks curiously at the smile and then returns it after a moment.]
I don't know much about them...I liked the one you showed me.
no subject
[ and that smile grows a little - Viktor laughs gently but it's a little sheepish. eheheh. ]
A-A lot of dangerous flowers are really pretty...as long as you're careful, um...they can be nice to have around.
no subject
Careful? Hmm... flowers are delicate. They are beautiful but short lived too, like humans. Isn't that so?
... Oh, have you found the village yet? I wouldn't go into the wild areas, even with that crown if I were you. Unless you can fight.
no subject
[ nod ] B-Beautiful? A-A lot are... I-I guess to an angel a humans life must seem really short too...
Village? Is um...that what this place with all the houses is...? I certainly um, can't fight...
no subject
A lot of which? Flowers, or humans?
[Though he keeps smiling, there's a sad tinge to his words for just a moment.]
Human lives can be very short... though even if they live a hundred years, that isn't long for us.
[He blinks a bit at the last part...]
Oh. Do you want protection? I can kill something if it tries to fight you, if you like.
no subject
I-I see... [ he can hear that sad note. he's not sure what to say- ] I wonder if you knew a lot of humans- [ he covers his mouth, looking alarmed at his question. ] Y-you d-don't have to answer that I'm sorry.
O-Oh! I... that would bee nice but...ah...
