[Ah, the dulcet sound of Valor laughing at you. Though it's coming from a bit further down than usual, as he is still a crow with a halo and snake's tongue. However, he's perched on a planter or something, so at least there's no danger of stepping on him.]

I know you don't exactly like to linger, but throwing yourself out a fucking window's a little much, don't you think?

[ If you aren't laughing at him after that, though, are you even feeling okay. ] [ Lupine stiffens a tiny bit, then snorts softly and turns to look for the birb. ]

Was it not clear from just watching the memory that I was throwing myself out of my own window, because that's definitely the icing on this particular cake.

Edited 2022-01-26 02:12 (UTC)

Wait, that was your window?

[please hold while Valor laughs even harder. his little bird body cannot contain his laughter and he has to hop around a little, flapping his wings]

You're right, that does make it better.

[ He should be more annoyed about this, but he'd rather be laughing about the memory than dwelling on the way he felt during it, so he's slowly smiling instead, if in a decidedly crooked fashion. ]

Must be hoping he didn't get my name and won't realize I live there, I guess.

[hopping closer, cocking his head]

And...let him think you broke into someone's house to get laid?

[ ...It made sense to him for a second, now it doesn't. Grimaces. ]

I don't know, maybe? It wasn't something I was thinking about in the memory, so no idea if I had a reason for thinking it'd work, or if it was just one more really stupid decision on top of all the others.

[have you ever heard a bird snicker? well, now you have.]

So what was the first one? Taking him back to your room in the first place?

Oh, that'll be at least my second mistake. The first was probably getting drunk enough that sleeping with one of the knights seemed like a great idea.

Not a fan of men in uniform?

[ Lipquirk. ]

I mean, maybe this memory predates the rap sheet, but less than a year later I was definitely some kind of petty-crime fugitive.

[snickers again. naturally, Valor approves of crimes.]

That doesn't mean you don't wanna fuck them, though.

[ For no reason at all, there sure is some heat crawling up the back of his neck?? ]

Heh, well. Does make sleeping with them kind of stupid, though.

[ Criminals probably shouldn't sleep with the people who enforce the laws?? ]

[fortunately, between Lupine's long hair and Valor being stuck low down on a planter, he can't see that, so Lupine is safe (for now?)]

Only if they recognize you.

[ Good, good (for now). ]

Least it wasn't the guys in purple, their boss definitely seems like an extra shitty shitheel.

See? There's your fucking bright side. It wasn't the absolute stupidest thing you could've done.

...Yeah. Definitely not that.

[ Was he looking for purple when he looked for the uniform? Is that why he was so relieved? ]

[ Beat, then he looks down at Valor and really seems to see him for the first time. Lipquirk. ]

Somewhere you were trying to go? And a follow-up question: do you want a ride?

[shrugs]

Nowhere in particular, but I won't say no to a ride.

[ Crouches down deliberately, tilting his head so that his hair's out of the way. ]

All aboard.

[hops onto Lupine's shoulder with a little wing flutter. his little bird feet are still icy cold.]

Where are you headed?

Edited 2022-01-26 04:06 (UTC)

[ guh ] [ And there's a beat, but then he admits with some amusement, ]

Out. Might've stopped by the department store on my way back, though. I need more shirts with, uh. Room.

[ For the wings, ]

[in an amused tone]

Yeah, I noticed you had some new accessories.

[and he's hopping around on Lupine's shoulder, craning his neck around to take in the wings...and then peering down to look at the tail]

A lot of new fucking accessories.

[ The wings flare a little, making better space for Valor while also, not entirely consciously, shielding him from the sun. ] [ His eyes are very silver as he watches the bird shift around. ]

Oh yeah? See anything you like?

[ He's gotten some positive responses, ]

[It's a little hard for Valor to take in the full effect from Lupine's shoulder, and he also doesn't have the cultural background that makes the horns/bat wing/spade tail combo ping as anything in particular. Nonetheless, he does find something to appreciate about Lupine's new look.]

Seems like it'd all get in the fucking way, but if it means you're walking around shirtless for a few days, I'm not gonna complain.

[ snork omg Valor ]

I guess that's one way to handle it. It's a little cold out for going totally shirtless, but...

[ Well. .......Thoughtful look. ]

Guess I could always do the cloak-thing. It's really drapey, I could just kind of wrap the ends around the wings.
