007 - [Action] Backdated to yesterday >>;

[Grune, Norma-- why is everyone suddenly getting kidnapped? All at once? It was an entire year before Dhaos witnessed the kidnapping of anyone he paid attention to other than himself, and then within the space of a month, there were two. It calls to mind something he heard a resident once say over the journals; he can't recall who it was (though he recalls not thinking much of the person in question), or in what context, but the message stuck in his mind:

The second year is the hardest.

...Along with several other comments about how half-year residents are more optimistic. But anyway, it certainly does appear to be proving true, in Dhaos' case.

This train of thought leads Dhaos to realize that there is one other person he cares for that appears to be missing in action. It's a long way from CH3 to House 8, so feel free to catch him on the way over! And by now it ought to go without saying that he is randomly stargazing somewhere at night.]

[ MAN ARE YOU CALLING HIM NONTHREATENING..

.. okay, it's true, he couldn't hurt a fly, but that's by no choice of his. regardless, reyson has surmised that this man is no immediate threat. spreading his white wings, he hops out of the water and takes to the air, landing on the edge of the bridge in a flurry of white light -

- and once that light dissipates there's a man there in place of the bird. ]

No, that won't be necessary. I apologize if I've interrupted your walk.

[Dhaos blinks and takes a step back as the giant heron alights on the bridge, and...

...Whoooooa. Dhaos has never seen that before. He manages to wipe his expression clean after a moment so he can answer.]

...Not at all.

[Not... mentioning... the transforming thing just yet. That'd be kind of rude, Dhaos thinks.]

[heartofahawk]

[ he can't help but be reminded of ike and the other mercenaries, who had had similar reactions when watching laguz transform. it's still odd to think that none of the residents here have ever seen it before either; likely he won't ever grow accustomed to it.

smiling apologetically, he steps lightly down off of the guard rail and folds his wings neatly behind him. ]

It seems I've startled you. I take it that you have never seen a laguz.

[whatdeheckisdat]

...No.

[Laguz? Dhaos has never heard the term, nor has he ever seen anyone transform into an... animal. With their own power, at least. It was usually the involuntary sort of transformation...]

[heartofahawk]

I shouldn't be surprised. As far as I know, I am the only one here.

[ in fact, he's the only person here from tellius at all, laguz or beorc or branded - there are no others here. i suppose that means no more surprises for you, at least! ]

I apologize for disturbing you.
