❀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. ]

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.

[ 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...
no subject
I did. [...] I do. Sometimes I go among them as a human, and they don't know me. That is usually best.
[Well, now Rubi is smiling widely.]
All right. I'm sure I can find you--you're in an open area, right?
[Abruptly he switches to audio instead of video and there's an odd metallic crackle and rushing noise, and a rush of air.
This would be Rubi taking flight and preparing to scout out this new person.]
no subject
I-I see... [ he's glad he didn't offend him. ] You don't um- have to do that around me... o-oh. Unless you're comfortable that way-.
I am... [ Viktor goes quiet as he sees the video feed turn off, and gently sits down by the edge of a large fountain, resting his device on his lap. what was that noise? was he maybe flying? it sounded to strange... but cool at the same time. ]
no subject
[That doesn't sound creepy at all, Rubi.]
Around you... but you already know what I am. Many people in this village are different, so I don't conceal my nature.
[There's a lot of wind static. In a few moments, Viktor might hear the -whoosh- of his wings, now without the metallic sounds. Both his body and wings can move organically, despite what they are made of.
Then Rubi descends closer, both enormous metal wings outspread. They're pretty but eerie, more gothic than classical. He is dressed all in flowing black leather, and his hair and eyes are so bright they nearly glow--an odd contrast to all the darker colors.
The artificial angel lands quite soundlessly on the opposite side of the fountain. He crouches down a bit and stares across at Viktor, smiling all of a sudden.]
...Found you.
no subject
O-Oh. Right...! That makes sense...
[ quietly Viktor sits by himself, until, with a small jump, he hears Rubi nearby. clutching his communicator to his chest he glances over at Rubi's, eyes wide.
huge metal wings... he looks so...cool. ]
W-Wow...
no subject
He tilts his head and asks, after a moment.]
Are you afraid?
no subject
I-I didn't mean to be rude. [ he'll quickly get to his feet, flustered. ]
no subject
[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.
no subject
I-I'm uh- V-Viktor! It's nice to meet you too...
no subject
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...]
no subject
as he glances up he notices Rubi's hand and straightens up, nervously extending his own hand, before hesitating as well, curling his fingers to his palm. ]
A-Ah- um... [ he'll glance at the ground, flustered and nervous as he extends his hand again. ]
D-Do you want to shake hands? It...it's okay.
1/2
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.]
no subject
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.]
