[Naesala's face is looking more indignant and annoyed than ever, sitting on the observation deck with a feather swiveling between his fingers. One of his wings may or may not be awkwardly sticking out. Sothe really has no elegance at all when it comes to extra body parts. Once again his thieves' balance seems to have gone horribly awry]How is it ( Read more... )

plot: you look familiar, :|

I think he specialises in distractions.

backflipping July 26 2009, 19:15:36 UTC

Maybe. But I would have willingly taken any other body on this ship.

oliverplus July 26 2009, 19:20:47 UTC

Seriously? But you can fly like that!

[raises an eyebrow] Is that what he's called? And what do you mean? You got to fly! [having done it once himself, he can't believe how anybody could consider it anything less than awesome]

backflipping July 26 2009, 19:39:36 UTC

Huh? Oh... yeah. Laguz. [he scowls for a minute which luckily Naesala's face is pretty used to, especially on this topic] Thrown off a cliff by the King of Hawks and caught at the very bottom. Yeah, flying is really great.

oliverplus July 26 2009, 19:43:29 UTC

...what!? Why would he do that?

backflipping July 26 2009, 19:48:24 UTC

[mumbled] Because birds hate me.

Let's just say they thought I made pretty good leverage.

oliverplus July 26 2009, 19:52:16 UTC

Leverage for what!?

Hey uh...who is this, by the way?

[frowns] You were a hostage?

Ah, yeah, you wouldn't. I'm the only Brummie on the ship! I don't think we've met; my name's Oliver. Normally I'd be about this height with dark hair that's way shorter.

backflipping July 26 2009, 20:35:07 UTC

It's... a long story. That I'm not exactly fond of.

Brummie? What's that? [he makes a face. Oliver, he knows of an Oliver back home] I see. Well nice to meet you or whatever...despite [another attempt to move the wing which just knocks his balance again] this.

oliverplus July 26 2009, 20:53:43 UTC

Hey, you don't have to share if you don't want to. But I'm sorry to hear that. [makes a face] I guess I can understand why you're not happy about this.

[Oliver realizes he probably should have explained that in the first place; if Sothe is from Naesala's world, he's obviously not from Earth. but maybe that's a good thing, considering what people usually think of Brummies] It just means I'm a person from Birmingham. Uh, that's the city where I used to live. [smiles fondly; he really does miss it]

[he wants to ask more about that since Naesala's a friend of his, but he figures it's better not to pry with someone he doesn't really know yet]

Oh, most people distinguish themselves by country. I mean, we do, too, but...I don't know, mine's just that special, I guess! [grins] But really, a lot of big, important cities do that. Like, you mentioned my accent. Only people from Birmingham or the area near it have this accent. Doesn't that sort of thing happen in your world?
