Picnic Time (Closed)

[Ssafirsotibones]

Bones thought it a bit odd as Miro shivered, was he suddenly cold? Eh, what he had said was not that intimidating.... Maybe he was getting better at intimidation? Going on, he saw the short exchange as they talked for a bit, then the bird flew off, landed in a tree, and changed into a person? He fell to the ground breaking through a branch, and then ran back while dressing. Then once more he managed to intimidate the bird/guy, as he tried to use Miro for cover.... You say one wrong thing... Its not even like they saw him eating someone.... Not that creepy... Why did everyone assume he was going to eat them? "I never sssaid I was going to eat you... I don't just randomly eat ssings... I jussst ate recently..." Which was true enough. If he had not eaten recently, more than likely someone would have already been eaten... Which is why he tried to keep himself from getting to hungry.... -If the kelvic were to inspect Bones' aura beyond just what was seen passively, he might see something startling. Though there was a deep pit of hunger at the core of Bones' aura, it was buried deep down... Suppressed by sheer force of will... Which was very odd for a dhani... Most would have there hunger right on the surface, being unleashed easily.... But his hunger?.... It had been buried deep down in layer after layer of willpower over time.... This alone would be much more startling than the initial hunger that had been seen. Who or what was this person?

[Miro]

The bird flew away to a tree where it transformed into a human. Miro was even more amazed. He had heard from his mother of morphers, but never seen a transformation in person. Miro had always wanted to try his hand at flying, perhaps it was easier than he thought. This man had effortlessly turned from a bird to a person and could even talk. As the former bird, now man walked towards them he clothed himself. Miro was unsure what he had done to cheat, or even what this competition was. Though, a hollow victory is still a victory. The man was indeed hungry, and people were much easier to take care of than animals anyways. He could take him home and feed him for all of the trouble he had caused.

The man hid behind him now, scared of Bones, who was apparently trying to eat him. This man was...strange. But being strange was never a bad quality in Miro's eyes. "Well, I would invite you both back to my home to eat, but it appears Bones has already had his meal. So, Mr. erm..." Miro paused realizing he had never gotten his name. "I am Miro, very pleased to meet you. If you wouldn't mind me asking, could you teach me to do that trick where you turn into a bird? I have always wanted to try my hand at morphing. You can feel free to come home with me and enjoy a meal if you'd like. Perhaps even stay if Kinneas likes you enough!" He smiled, still playing with the coin in his hand. He wondered if it was his to keep. Nobody else laid claim to it, and the man who dropped it left it undetermined who it was intended for.

[Nowa]

OOCA raven of two years is hardly an adult. I've updated my CS to reflect that a while back. Might want to keep that in mind for the posts. Nowa backed up a few steps. He scanned the Auras of the two once again, this time for answers. "I think..." he pointed to Bones. "You're not a human, not even close. Always hungry, just good at hiding of fighting it. A predator, to say the least. A sneaky, smart one. Of course, you're bigger then me, too." Shifting his point to the next one, he revealed the results of his search. "I think you, are also not human at all. You... need to relax, you're going to explode. Like a widdle kid inside, all ready to play!" He spun around in a couple circles. "Alright, I'll let you be my friend if you want, but no eating me, either of you. I think I was promised some food, yes? What is it? Is it tasty? Is it crow? I like crows when they are tasty. Fruits and veggies are good, too. I wanna know! I like cookies!" His simple smile and childish grin were evidence enough his fear had vanished. He was almost jumping with joy... almost. OOC*Cough-hypocrite-Cough*

Bones shrugged as the statement was made. It was sort of true, but at the same time it missed things. For that was the truth of auristics, it was rather objective, and never tended to see the entire picture. And though you might get a small picture of someone, it took a much more deeper look to truly understand in context what you were seeing. In this case, Bones was rather more than what was seen even by this further look. Regardless, Bones would continue on, unaware of this. He assumed the invite to eat was also for him, though he doubted it would be a decent sized meal. "Okay, I will come along to eat... But jussst ssso you know, I dont eat plantsss, only meat. And I don't need all ssat ssseasssoning and cooking, raw isss fine for me." Having taken the invitation, he would follow along, though who knew what Miro had really meant. But who was going to rescind a dinner invite from a Dhani? They might end up being the meal themselves if they were not careful. Especially after making comments about said dhanis intelligence.

[Miro]

Miro laughed as the kid talked about relaxing then got overly excited at the talk of food. He knew there wasn't too much extra food in the house. Though there was the meat Kinneas had prepared for dinner last night. That would be enough for the three of them. Miro was a bit curious to hear more about this transformation he had just witnessed. "Mr. Bird, Bones, we should all head back to my place for a good meal. I think we still have some food left over, though it is cooked already. Why don't we head there now?

Miro pocketed the coin and began to walk along the path, leading the others behind him. "So, how exactly did you do that transformation trick? It seemed pretty easy for you. Do you think I could learn it? Miro awaited a reply eagerly with his eyes fixed on the child.

[Nowa]

That man asks strange questions, why wouldn't he? He's very strange himself, maybe the normal things baffle him. "It's just something I do, like flying and eating. How exactly... I wonder. How do you walk or fly? The crows don't do it. I doubt I could teach someone to fly without wings, and even when they do, they'd do a lot of learning on their own. Besides, aren't you enough things? Why be something else? I'm not trying to be a dog, or a fruit." Though Miro held the conversation, Bones held Nowa's eyes. They were both mysteries, but Bones hadn't even commented enough to give away his personality. Questions raced through Nowa's head. What kind of person is he? Should I ask? Would he get angry? Why am I so afraid? What makes him so dangerous? He finally stopped staring to fuss with his hair. Maybe I'll ask about Miro first.

Bones followed along, not exactly sure were they were going. Since it was hard to tell which way your house was exactly. If you did not have the key on you, it was almost impossible to do so. It was a bit funny to him that Miro thought he could learn kelvic transforming. Similar to his own transformations, it was just in there blood, not something that could be learned. Though a Kelvics was instantaneous, and they could do it right away... A dhani transforming took time, and they slowly unlocked there forms as they got older. He had only been able to become a human for the last thirty years or so... It was still his roughest form, being as a human. Which was probably why he still had trouble with some of the human expressions. Though unlike a kelvic, you could not tell a human apart from a dhani in human form... A kelvic tended to have telltale signs of there animal nature... As they were really animals at heart... Looking at Miro, he directed his response to him. "It isss not a trick like magic ssat you can learn... He was born wiss it... Jussst like I wasss born wiss my own ssskillsss... You would not expect to learn my forms would you?" This last bit was said a bit sterner, giving a good bit of intimidation, and signifying that responding with yes would not be a good idea for Miro... Humans after all were so different than other races... The way they thought and acted... Not like Bones and Nowa, who were closer to there animal nature...

[Miro]

Miro was a bit puzzled at the things being told to him. He knew that morphing could allow him to transform into different shapes, he had been taught the basics from his mother, but he was never able get the grasp of it. This irritated him as he thought about it. If only he had been able to train with his mother a bit longer before the accident. He started paying attention just in time to hear the last of his comment. Did he say something about expecting to learn his forms? Excitement rushed through him as he thought of being able to have a form to transform into. "Bones I would love to learn that! It would be very useful I think. Once I learn morphing I will have to take you up on your offer! He smiled proudly at him. A few chimes later, they arrived at the manor.

Miro led them inside, introducing the common area as the place they would eat. He then ran off into Kinneas' room, taking the left over food and bringing it out for his guests to enjoy. He gave a sizable, rather burnt looking piece to Bones. A much larger piece that was much cooked much better to Nowa. What was left Miro took for himself and sat down on the couch to enjoy the meal. "So..." Miro took a large bite of the food. "Wah dew ya tink Nowa?" He motioned his hands around to the room that surrounded them, finishing the food in his mouth. "You could stay here with me. Maybe you can teach me some cool bird stuff. Go find some of these crows you keep talking about." Miro shot a smile towards him. He was eager to have a new friend.

[Nowa]

"I will have to take you up on your offer!" Nowa muttered to himself. "That's not what he said at all." He kept quiet behind that, letting the excitement of the meal build up. He almost couldn't stand it as they walked inside. Nowa stood around somewhat awed, he hadn't spent much time invited into homes. He looked between the various furnishings, wondering what to ask about first. His last home hadn't told him much of anything. It was even more exciting when the food was brought, Nowa was almost jumping with joy! He knew he would be as a bird. He didn't wait, or sit down for that matter. Didn't even use the silverware and plate. Just started eating. ...though it didn't taste like meat at all. "Wah dew ya tink Nowa?" "Not as chewy as I expected." Nowa completely missed the gesture, as he was rather caught on the food now. "Clever, though. Was it intentional?" He looked up as Miro made the following offer. "Bird stuff? Do I need to teach you to stay here? Do I need to do stuff? And what about the crows?" Nowa almost hugged the food he had, tension rising in his voice, with a touch of animalistic fear to it.

It seemed Miro just felt a need to be rude for no reason. Bones let out a deep breath, and slowly took in another... Trying to calm himself... He tried to block out Miro's annoyance, but he was not as good at meditating as many others... But compared to other dhani, he was quite civil... Regardless, he did not want to start something... Though it was rather rude to only listen to part of what someone said.... But Bones fought yet another violent urge to kill or maim Miro... Yet his aura was most likely exuding his anger, that he was trying to keep in check... As it lanced toward Miro with white hot intensity... But really, was Miro just trying to start something? Didn't he know by know it was not a good idea to poke a snake? All it resulted in was it snapping off your leg...
