Characters:Rafiel and you~
Format: Action or prose.
This log is: open
Location: Deep within the ring of trees/forest. So it could be anywhere on campus, really.
Summary: Rafiel is passing the time with a relaxing melody.
Warnings: n/a

[Anyone walking along one of the less populated paths might hear the faint sound of a soothing melody. If they care to deviate off the paved stone and into the trees to seek the source, after a few minutes of walking they'll happen upon a small clearing where Rafiel sits. As you might imagine, he is indeed the source of the wordless song.

It seems as if he'd decided to have a little personal time in order to relax and feel better about this entire affair. Would you care to stay and listen?]

[Cécile will certainly stay and listen! She's just been exploring the campus, honestly, getting a feel for everything and being privately grateful that at least it's all very scenic. She pauses as she nears the clearing, tilting her head to hear the source of the song before cautiously approaching, taking care not to step on anything and make too loud of a noise. It would be rude to interrupt someone's song, particularly if they don't want to be noticed just yet.]

[waddles]

[If Rafiel is bothered by the fact that the magical properties of the Galdr have been removed, he doesn't seem too bothered by the fact. At least not at this moment.

Instead, the song continues on as he tilts his head slightly upwards towards the sun. This is a moment of peace and tranquility and he truly does enjoy it.]

[wasabisandwiches]

[Cécile is hardly one to interrupt when someone looks so distinctly content. She waits nearby, instead, listening to the song and smiling slightly; it's nice that in the midst of all of this, people are still making their own ways to be hapy. She waits until he's done, and then--]

That was very pretty.

[waddles]

Ah... [He blinks a little bit at the revelation that he had an audience. When he sees Cecile, however, his expression of muted surprise turns into its usual serene appearance.]

Thank you, I did not realize someone was listening.

[wasabisandwiches]

I'm sorry if I'm intruding-- I heard you from other there and decided to investigate. [she offers him a smile; hopefully he isn't offended. He doesn't seem the type, thankfully.]

Does he still have his wings?

Re: OOC

[waddles]

Yes. :)

[Anything in the forest needs to be kept under survelliance, so that's exactly what Huashi does when she hears the song. Sneaking closer and then sitting up on a treebranch.

After a few minutes, she starts humming, though it's quiet.

A man with wings sining? Not strange at all when you've met a dragon that turns into a horse and reincarnated gods. And he sings very prettily, too.]

[waddles]

[Rafiel notices the addition almost immediately, causing a small smile to curl the edges of his lips. The accompaniment is quite welcome actually and he sings a little bit more softly in order to hear Huashi's own tune.]

[monkeystail]

[It doesn't take Huashi long to realize that her 'stealthy' attempt to careful hum along to the man's song has failed, and that he's noticed her, since he's quieted down some. But he isn't stopping...

She hasn't sung a lot, really, but since he seems to attempt to let her sing with him... She screws up her face in concentration to follow him better, and actually raises her voice to sing, instead of just hum.

She could do with some training, but she does manage to not be out-of-tune with Rafiel.]

[waddles]

[As the song slowly comes to a close, Rafiel sends his wandering gaze to the trees around him, searching for his partner. It's only because he's sung the song so many times that he was able to notice the faint addition so quickly. It doesn't mean he knows where she is.]

Will you show yourself?

[monkeystail]

[Oops, yeah, she had hidden herself rather well, but then, that's what she usually did. And while it might have eben foolish to just show yourself at home to someone who's singing prettily, that probably meant no danger here.]

Okay! That was really pretty! [Huashi takes a flying leap from her branch, somersaulting in the air before landing a bit away from Rafiel.]

Your wings are really pretty too~

[waddles]

[Have a surprised blink, Huashi. To date, you're the only other person he's seen with animal features in this world. It makes him wonder if you're from his world.]

Thank you. I am Rafiel, may I ask your name?

[monkeystail]

My name's Huashi. [She says it with a grin, and vaguely wonders if she'll ever get more than one name, like daddy has. And she's been made to forget all of them... She shakes her frown away to concentrate on Rafiel instead.]

Do you only have wings, or are you some sort of bird spirit in human form?

[It seems logical to her, to ask this thing. There's lot of people here with various hair colours, but she's only seen that sort of pale blond and wings on spirits and demons. Rafiel smells nice, though, like mountain air, so she doesn't think he's a demon.]

[waddles]

[Rafiel gives a small shake of his head at that, clearly not happy about the explanation he has to give.] I am a laguz, a being that can shift forms between this one and another. In my case, a heron. Unfortunately, I seem to have lost this ability upon my arrival here.

[monkeystail]

[Never let it be said Huashi wasn't impulsive. She bounded closer and picked up one of Rafiel's hand in both her own.]/small>

I can't either. [She grimaces. She doesn't mind being in (as human as she can manage) human guise, it's not as if she hasn't spent months in it after that god kidnapped her, but... she could always change before.]

Daddy calls us stone monkeys. The Goddess of Mercy calls us nature spirits. [A shrug.]

I just know I'm usually a monkey! Daddy taught me how to shift. I can also turn into a sparrow! [He'd only taught her that so she'd have something small an unobtrustive to shift to that could flee easily. It's kind of hard to stay positive when contemplating her inability to shift, though. But she does her best to smile.]

[loyal_liar]

[Lyra's climbed up into a tree to stay and listen. And besides, she still needs to tell Rafiel about her world, right?]

[waddles]

[The tree isn't necessary for that...

Regardless, if Lyra makes no effort to be quiet, Rafiel will continue the melodic tune as he glances in her direction. Upon spotting her, he'll smile.]

[loyal_liar]

[Lyra smiles back, although she doesn't speak until he's done singing.]

That was beautiful!

[brokencrane]

[a song...? was someone singing? Yuka walked in the direction of the sound until she reached the clearing, then stopped and stood nervously by a tree near the edge of it. she didn't want to interrupt... but it was such a nice song, it would be okay to stay and listen for a bit, right?]
