folklorist | ϡ - Chapter Forty-One; a new beginning [forward dated to the afternoon]

[ Anyone nearby the bridge by House 47 and House 35 will see the droids unceremoniously drop a rather disgruntled and startled blonde man into the river. Helios wasn’t awake fully at the time, but he sure is now! He is just going to sputter and flail a bit in the water before making his way towards dryer land. Helios is totally not amused by this guys, especially since it's kinda cold out. The water is also an odd shade of purple…and that grass is blue. He is just…really confused, because nothing is the right color and he’s slightly panicking from this revelation. It must be a side-effect…it has to be. And once he finally runs into people, he'll notice a strange and alarming aura around each individual person. It's a side-effect from John's tampering with his death penalty.

He’ll groggily get up and wring out his long sleeve shirt and jacket, huffing and mumbling under his breath. Not the graceful or nicest of re-entries to the enclosure. You can find Helios walking through the village, soaking wet and a bit miffed, back to his house. And once he gets there he’ll get settled, changed, and make a voice entry.]

[Voice]

I’m, ah, b-back. Thank you f-for whoever took care of the Library in my absence. Everything is well, aside from seeing things in c-color again. Surprisingly…strange and saying that is rather odd too. [ A laugh on his end. There’s a rattling noise from somewhere off in the distance. Luminair’s chirps get excited and happy as Helios gives a surprised gasp. ] Oh! Gods , is it really that time already? I-I didn’t even realize…though the time it takes is far less than your own.

[ Helios clears his throat, his tone slightly more jovial and happy than before. ] It’s a pleasure to meet all the new arrivals we’ve gotten these past few weeks. I hope everyone hasn’t had too much t-trouble settling in. The library is free to use for anyone who wants, and we also have a bookclub that meets once a month. Also if anyone has any questions about the spirits of this place, or m-magic in general, I ah wouldn’t mind assisting you in learning. There’s also a m-magic club that meets every once in awhile too! [ Some more rattling as Luminair chirps more emphatically. ]

Oh, dear, I-I wonder if it’ll last until tomorrow… [ A tapping noise as he taps a pencil on the table. ]

Ah. I-I was wondering…how many people would be interested in seeing a newborn dragon hatch? I-I think this calls for a little celebration, don’t you think Luminair? [ A happy chirp in reply is heard from somewhere off in the room. ]

If anyone wants to stop by tomorrow to see the hatching…I wouldn’t mind having a small little get together! I could make some food and-and a cake too. Anyone is welcome to come by house forty-four. We could all benefit from a little celebration once in awhile, hm?

((ooc; For Helios' return effect he is seeing people's auras, along with seeing the world in weird colors and shades. The auras that Helios are seeing, are just different facets to a person's personality. If you don't want him to see someone's aura just let me know and we can work around that! ))

Ah! [ Helios might...jump slightly at Loki's grabbing of his arm. He was just not expecting that. He manages a small shaky smile though and sighs. ]

Y-Yes that's quite right. I-I'll be fine to, ah, get back to the house. I'm sorry if I troubled you. The droids are indeed most certainly uncouth a-and rude and just in general unsavory at times.

[Loki raises an eyebrow at Helios jumping up.]

Helios, you can blame my hands for being extremely cold, yet I can assure you that they are not going to eat you.

[He tugs at Helios' arm to get him away from the river.]

Making apologies while there is no reason to apologize always confuse me a little. But...apologies accepted.

S-Sorry. I'm just...a bit tense still. The droids will, um, d-do that to you. [ A shaky smile. He's also not too good with people touching him that he doesn't know entirely, even if Loki is a child. ]

It's-it's something of a, ah, inherent response from me. [ A sheepish laugh as he lets himself be tugged along by the other. ]

Wh-what were you doing out here?

((ooc; do you have any description of what his aura might look like? ))

Just trust me, yes? Trust is important. Especially during moments like this.

[Loki does not let go even though he is aware of the fact that Helios is not entire comfortable with this.]

Taking a refreshing walk. The ususal important stuff.

[[OOC: Loki is cold and is not entirely the most happy camper right now. I figure his aura is blue.]

Ah. O-Of course. I-I do, trust you I mean.

[ Which is a very hard thing for Helios to admit and say, or would be, if it weren't for the fact that he's been through so much while here. But Loki is his student and sometimes even teachers need help from their students. He might stiffen a little, before relaxing, as Loki keeps a hold of his arm. He is trying to make it more normal and not as awkward. ]

Ah. I see. It's lovely to walk this time of the year. Not too um, c-cold just yet.

[Loki flashes a bright smile at those words. He likes to hear such words, even though he does take into account that the words might not be entirely true.]

That is good to hear.

[Finally he lets go of the other when he is sure that Helios is within a safe distance of the water.]

Indeed. Even though I disagree with you about the cold. I am rather cold right now.

I've gotten c-considerably better at it. [ He gives Loki a shaky smile and nods. His breath is coming out in a puff of white smoke as he sighs. ]

I suppose I just...got used to it.

[Loki shivers shortly and nods.]

I see.

I do think it is my turn to provide you with some warm tea this time, yes?

[ Helios in turn smiles brightly back at the young Midgardian, a nod following shortly after. ]

I would like that very much actually. Tea sounds wonderful right about now.

Aye. Maybe you can teach me that warmth-spell as well, yes? It will be a two striker in one blow.

[He smiles as well and adjusts his scarf.]

Follow me, I believe apartment building five is not far from here...I think.

I wouldn't mind that at all. A nice cup of tea and sharing spells? I can't think of anything more fitting. [ Helios smiles and laughs as he follows Loki. ]

It...shouldn't be. Just down the road and past the town plaza if I'm not mistaken. [ He'd offer to go to house 44, but he knows that Loki is being kind in offering to take him back to his apartment. A nice walk might do him some good in getting used to all these colors. ]

[This would mean Helios has been the first person he has ever invited to his quarters. What an excellent milestone, it would almost be worthy of a celebration of some sort.]

Aye, it is an excellent deal. As expected from my most brilliant mind.

[Loki points at his head to emphasize his statement.]

I do believe you're right. But I also know a shortcut.

[He knows his way around the village already and all the interesting shortcuts that make his life in the land of Luceti so much easier.]

The shorter cut or extreme, vile cold?
