Re: Svarik and the company II

[VisAnastasis]

Tide grinned, and then, shyly observing lad's reactions, he did some movement with his jaw, and his mouth opened up like mouth of a snake, as he swallowed rest of his sandwitch whole, quite dramatically.

[Mirach]

Senecio was taken off guard with that. His eyes widened at first, and then he chuckled. "I thought you liked food," he said. "That's not a good way to savour it..."

[VisAnastasis]

" I enjoy eating with someone just a bit more than eating alone. I didn't want you to wait for me. " He grinned, but then added more shyly. " Besides, I like to slowly ease in the fact to people I care of that I am not a human being. " He admitted." Little cues, here and there... So they are less started later on. I am not really normal in common sense. Lot of what I am could be considered quite. .  Beastly. "

[Mirach]

"By what are they startled later on?" Senecio asked curiously. "You are making me really curious. I just can't help myself, the way you say "beastly" sounds very attractive..."

[VisAnastasis]

" And the way you say *attractive* makes me terribly frussterred.... have you even seen..  me?" Critter asked with little worry. " I know you are the handsomest  Findling on this side of the cost, but I am probably the ugliest Gwendellyn. What do you imagine, when you hear of existnce of primordial demon? I am probably all the ugly you can imagine...."

[VisAnastasis]

" And the way you say *attractive* makes me terribly frussterred.... have you even seen..  me?" Critter asked with little worry. " I know you are the handsomest  Findling on this side of the cost, but I am probably the ugliest Gwendellyn. What do you imagine, when you hear of existnce of primordial demon? I am probably all the ugly you can imagine...."

[Mirach]

"I have seen only what you have shown me. Do you consider that "not you"?" Senecio asked.

[VisAnastasis]

" It is me still. " Tide said quietly." But how I see it.. . It is form in which I put most... effort.. into how it looks. Human equivalent would be... a look which you prepare for hours, carefully chosing clothes, make up, and everything, to show of, to impress. Kind of look you have on weddings, holidays and such. It is still me, of course. But it is... formal..." he sniffted little uncomfortably." It is probably only form in which.. hm... I am not.... self concious...  about my look. It is a decently non ugly form. From afar, you could almost think it is just a human costume... "

[Mirach]

"I see... But I am not looking for beauty. "I already started associating beauty with shallowness after several experiences. I actually think I am rather shallow as well. I don't know what you see in me..."

[VisAnastasis]

" Well, you are a bit self centered, I don't deny that." Critter seemed to try to joke, to cover up the vulnerability of his following statement." I did not plan on falling in love, you know... I just sow you are frail, and wanted to help you. But it is just that... the way you smile and look at me, it makes me feel... pretty. Each look you give me tells me I am pretty, though I know I am not. It is nice. And the way you look at all that I show you, with wonder and curiosity.... It helps me remember why I love and enjoy living and being part of this world so deeply. You are all I like about the world. You are a wonderous, unique experience. You are full of life's flavors.  " He paused, before adding meaningfully." It makes me like you, and in time, I hope it can become more..."

[Mirach]

Senecio nodded. "I will consider it a privilege every time you show me a bit more of your unhuman form, if it means that you feel more at ease with me."

[VisAnastasis]

" And I will consider it a privilege each time I manage to persuade you you are a little less shallow person than you think you are, if it means you'll respect yourself a little bit more. " demon brought himself to smile a little frailly, as he slowly and shyly leaned forth toward the actor. " You know... " he whispered quietly to Senecio's ear, much closer to him by now, with barely couple of centimeters between his and actor's face, as if he was speaking in confidence. " You said you connect beauty with shallowness. Who knows... " he added innocently with a trace of attempted humor, that more sounded like a warm streak of admiration, though, wrapped up in a compliment. " Maybe you just accidentally began to deem yourself shallow after a while, because you are so unfathomably beautiful when you smile...  "

[Mirach]

Senecio indeed smiled with that. "I don't know, maybe. Should we finish the breakfast on the sea?" he asked then.

[VisAnastasis]

Demon seemed to think about something, indecisive for a moment, before he pulled away lightly.
" Yes, we should. " he stood up slowly, then. " I will carry the things, you just lead the way, deal?" he said amiably, as he slowly picked up their things to carry to boat, so actor wouldn't have to stain himself with carrying heavy stuff.

[Mirach]

"I should take half of it, my hand is well again, unlike yours," Senecio protested. "And I don't know where you left the boat. I slept through it..."

[VisAnastasis]

" Oh, yes.. I left it in the same place. " Tide said. " I will lead, then. " he said, as he innocently fastened his step, so actor couldn't have time to take anything from bundle of food and things in his arms.

[Mirach]

Senecio did not argue when he saw that the demon wants it this way, and followed him.

[VisAnastasis]

Demon led him to the boat, and after he put their things there, he used his skill of waterbending, to guide their boat to a place at sea where there was really lovely view of coast and City from the distance.

[Mirach]

"I think no fancy resaurant can compete with this..." Senecio said admiringly, as he was watching the view.

[VisAnastasis]

" You know you don't have to lead me to a fancy restorant, don't you?" Critter smiled a little at the absurdity, as he was unpacking their delicious food." You can lead me anywhere you lke. I won't mind, being surprised."

[Mirach]

"I know, but you just set the bar rather high, and my pride compeks me to surpas it," Senecio grinned.

[VisAnastasis]

" I shall keep setting the bar way too high, then. We will see who gets tired of surpassing one another." Demon chuckled a little, and then he sat down, making himself comfortable, as he took a piece of cake and munched on it calmly.

[Mirach]

Senecio also took the cake and some wine, relaxing with it.

[VisAnastasis]

Demon ate and drank too,  growing more relaxed with time. He was silent, seeming to be in thoughts.

" You know... I know you are going to be writing all day... so I was thinking - would you mind company? Because I want to write something as well. " He admitted." I think I know what I am going to give to Erdel. He is very young and inexperienced demon, but has such tremendous potential... he deserves knowledge to channel his powers better. If I knew I would live, I would offer to teach him. But I can still make sure to do this. I want to craft him instructions, especially designed for type of creature he is, on how to train his mind to think, to help him develop more material forms more in tune with his true self. It is not good, for high demon to have only one form. It makes him too vulnerable - and he deserves to have something of his choice to clothe himself with. I want to write him instructions, proper mind exerices, and everything that could help him learn at least that little basic way to treat himself. What do you think?"

[Mirach]

"I think that today I would find it nice to have company," Senecio smiled.
