Oh please, I walk everywhere! Am I supposed to be impressed?

Haha, well...wouldn't we have to find a way to suppress our powers first?

oh whoops i thought i hit post

[showmeyourwreath]

Of course not. [She rolls her eyes.] I haven't had wings my entire life you know, walking isn't a foreign concept to me. I like doing it. But it wouldn't surprise me if you'd be content to just effortlessly float around everywhere if you could.

[Even if Zelos is really fit from what she can tell, but she wonders if it's the way Stella's fit: exceptional when pushed, but lazy otherwise.]

[wilder]

Heh.

[He puts his hands behind his head] You'd think, but nah. I actually prefer walking! Floating around tends to just give me that feeling like I just missed a step or something.

ty i try

[showmeyourwreath]

[Without missing a beat.] You get used to it. [Wait.] I mean, you do if you can fly. Wait, Zelos, can you fly? Or like float around?

[Maybe he uses his wind elemental spells?]

[wilder]

[He taps his chin] Oh.

Didn't I mention it before?

[showmeyourwreath]

No? No, you did not, Zelos Wilder!

[Flora's not upset, not even indignant, she he is actually joyously surprised in a "wow, you sure got one over on me boi, well-played"]

[wilder]

[Yes, good reaction]

Huh! Guess it just never came up then!

[showmeyourwreath]

[That earns him a little noise. Not quite a snort--how unladylike--but it carries the same derision, albeit playfully.]

Yeah, it's not like you had any opportunities at all to interject when I mentioned being a fairy or transformed, or something convenient like that.

[wilder]

Of course not!

I mean, I thought about it, but it felt rude! It's not like I'm a fairy, so it might have sounded like I was trying to one-up you or something!

[showmeyourwreath]

Yes, because we both know you're just at the pinnacle of politeness and modesty. How magnanimous of you.

[But she knows he knows he could have dropped that little detail. It could have been to mess with her or because he might not have been comfortable at the time. As ever, she's aware he's keeping secrets and that she's not a mind reader (she's not that kind of psychic). So, her tone is friendly, but careful.]

May I please see, sometime? Maybe?

[wilder]

Why thank you, thank you! Perfect gentlemen, Zelos Wilder- let it be known!

[But yep. it had been partly out of comfort. He didn't go to as great of lengths to hide it anymore, but he still preferred to keep it quiet. It was better to be known as a human than as something else.]

[But...well, Flora was a friend - as much as they argued. And she wasn't exactly human herself, so it wasn't like it'd be that big a deal to her right?]

Well...you free right now? If you come over to my room, I could show you.

[showmeyourwreath]

[Okay.

Flora is all for manners and propriety and all that lovely (usually) necessary jazz, but the only reason why she didn't break into her then-crush's room herself is because she was too shyyyyy.

She's sort of over that now.

And she's not breaking in, anyway. Besides, Zelos is a friend.]

Am I? I can be there right away!

[wilder]

[You wild child Flora.]

Yeah, I know you can! [MISS TELEPORTER] My room's [HERE HAVE A ROOM LOCATION]. Hop on other when you're ready.

[showmeyourwreath]

See you soon! [Locket goes click and like half a second later there's a knock on his door.]

[wilder]

[Wow really? She teleported to the hallway? Whatever- he gets up and opens the door]

Really? You couldn't have just- teleported in here?

[showmeyourwreath]

I didn't want to be rude in case you needed another minute. You were tidying up, weren't you?

[wilder]

Just a couple plates. It's not like the place is trashed.

[But whatever! He'll hold the door open for her so he can shut it when she's in]

[showmeyourwreath]

[Such a gentleman and wow, these are some nice digs, okay. Not that she gawks, because 1) that's unseemly 2) she's used to seeing nice places, but still, she has a cursory glance or two. She's never been in someone else's room before.]

Lovely place you have here.

[wilder]

[Yep and since he counts as a sub-ruler- he's got some nice digs too! Even a study attached to the room!]

Thanks. They hooked me up pretty nice here.

[Though frankly, he doesn't give two shits about it]

Anyway, you wanted to see my wings, or do you want a glass of wine first?

i cannot believe how long this thread is

[showmeyourwreath]

It doesn't surprise me.

[She doesn't come from a rigid caste system but rank does matter quite a bit where she comes from. That's just how life is.]

I'm alright, thank you for offering.

[She's being patient, really, but that still doesn't mean she's not thinking wingswingswings.]

honey all their threads get this long

[wilder]

[He shrugs] Sure, sure.

But alright, guess I'll get it over with. [HE CAN TELL YOU'RE TRYING TO HOLD BACK THAT EXCITEMENT MISS. Stepping into the middle of the room (since it'd suck to knock anything over), he tries to ignore how weird this feels and summons out his large golden wings.]

Tah-dah.

i know but she just WANTED ONE THING HOW DID IT GET LIKE THIS

[showmeyourwreath]

Zelos they're...they're beautiful. [She clasps her hands, delighted and humbled all at once.] Absolutely wonderful.

BECAUSE ITS THEM VYND, BECAUSE ITS THEM

[wilder]

[His wings flutter a bit, and he rubs the back of his head. Honestly, he's very used to getting compliments on the rest of his appearance. The wings though...not so much. It's still kinda awkward for him tbh]

Heh, thanks. [Oh right, should probably cover the awkward with something] But that's not a surprise, right? I mean, they do come from me after all.

TRUER WORDS HAVE NEVER BEEN SPOKEN

[showmeyourwreath]

[She knows that he knows that she has wings too, but she wonders if it'd be better for him if they were on more equal ground, so to speak. If anything, it might give him something to look at so he's not so focused on how focused she is on him.

She might have to clip him one if he makes a "i'll show you mine if you show me yours" joke, though. Nonetheless, she makes a little victory sign and says.]

Winx Believix.

[There's that brilliant flash of gold and she is transformed. There, much better hopefully. But oh no his wings are fluttering. That's co cute even if they're wings she sees them all the time, but they're not her wings, okay. There's a world of difference!]

Of course, not surprising at all in hindsight, but a girl can be impressed, can't she? And what a fabulous colour--they go great with your hair and your eyes, too.

[But they're so great, they're so great, and her own wings perk up a little with how happy she is.]

[wilder]

[Honestly, it does help. Maybe not so much for the staring at her so much as just not feeling like he's the only winged freak around. It was the same reason he felt more at eased with stuff like this when Colette was around- he wasn't alone then.]

[And even if he knows Flora isn't a Chosen, or even an angel- well she still isn't entirely normal]

[Also..might apparently have a thing for wings. Wow. Who knew. ]

Heh- no no, you can be impressed all you like! [He won't stop you!] I'm glad you like them so much.
