Closed [KRI] It's you! (Valerius Nitrozian)

[Alenias]

Season of Summer, Day 14, 513 AV

The wind was calm and the temperature nice, nice weather for flying around in, but Alenias was not flitting about over the city of Ravok for fun today. She wanted to know what else had changed in Ravok, and it was much easier to travel and see while she was a bird.

She hadn't been out and about for very long when she came across a section of the city that caused a tickling in her head, and so she paused in her flight to land on the roof of a nearby building. Her dark eyes darted back and forth over the still visible fence as she tried to think about why the area was familiar.

After a chine or two she had finally pulled up a foggy memory of Treanas and her hiding in an alley, him pointing at the fence and telling her to stay away from it no matter what. He hadn't said why, and Alenias hadn't asked. She'd simply nodded and followed Treanas as he left.

That was a long time ago, and Treanas wasn't taking care of her anymore. Alenias found herself very curious what was behind the fence, and why Treanas had told her to stay away. Was it where Siriana and the others were hiding?

Curious and cautious, Alenias took to the air again and flew closer to the fence. Her heart started beating faster as she drew closer, her dark eyes darting over the people with weapons outside of the fence. They looked like guards, like the man who had taken Aello away. Was this a place where people were put in cages, like the one Alenias had helped Aello get out from? Why would Treanas tell her to stay away from a place like that?

Nervously watching for sign of the guards noticing her Alenias circled around the fenced area. Every few beats of her wings she chanced a glance over the fence to try and see if there was anything interesting inside the area. There had to be something interesting here, and for now her sense of curiosity was greater than her fear of bad men.

Valerius had spent the past two bells assissting Doctor Gaius Alzelin in an operation. The patient, or rather victim, had been one of the numerous Kelvic that were kept at the KRI. The creature had had a parasite, and the good doctor had decided to cut her up to see how it had affected her internal organs. It had been a somewhat messy affair, the creature had died during the operation. Afterwards the young Nitrozian had cleaned himself almost obsessively. Sick people fascinated him, but at the same time he was utterly disgusted and worried that he would get sick as well. Since he had already done most of his work – all the Kelvic were fed and cleaned – Valerius decided to get some fresh air and take a walk around the KRI and watch the various animals as well as the human employees for a while. If anybody asked him, he would claim that he was doing an inspection though. He didn’t want anybody to think that he was lazy or that he had gotten slightly sick during an experiment. It would affect his precious reputation in a most negative way. He nodded at the guards that stood at the fence and exchanged a few meaningless pleasantries with them. It was never wrong to be polite to those that worked for your family and you. Happy employees tended to be more effective than those that hated their superiors. He was just about to return to the center of the KRI when he noticed the bird. There was something odd about the way it was looking over the fence, as if it were thinking about something. Normal birds didn’t look around like that. He furrowed his brow and approached the fence to take a closer look. Was it an escaped Kelvic? No, not even Kelvic were stupid enough to voluntarily return to their place of suffering. But if it was not an escaped Kelvic, what was it then?

After some time Alenias' eyes were drawn to some movement, and she watched a familiar looking man come out of the fenced area and speak to some guards. At first it felt like a simple recognition, someone she had bumped into once maybe, but as the man turned and walked away from the guards she felt her heart leap inside of her chest.

Little dark eyes fixated on the man, Alenias watched as he came closer to her. She couldn't understand it, why would he be simply looking at her like that, but there were many things she didn't understand about people and the world. Maybe he didn't recognize her as a bird?

She fidgeted back and forth nervously, her dark eyes never leaving the man, as she tried to figure out what to do. Her heart pounded as she struggled with the swirl of emotions that fought to drive her one way or another. Briefly she opened and fluttered her wings, as if to fly away, but then she stilled again.

Finally a single desire rose above the rest inside her, and her decision was made. Fluttering down to the ground in front of the man she paused for a moment, giving a little chirp of, "You," and then transforming into her human form in a swirl of light, "You..."

Her thin body shook with emotion, her head down, and face obscured by her hair. Slowly she looked up at the man, revealing the tears gleaming in her eyes, and then she dashed towards him with a wordless cry. Throwing herself at the man she tried to hug him, sobbing as she spoke in a broken voice, "Treanas! I thought you were gone!"

OOCSorry for the delay in responding, last week was crazy. Hope you don't mind the switch up, I thought it could be more interesting this way.

Valerius didn’t look surprised at all as the suspicious bird transformed into a girl. He had seen enough Kelvic transform that it had lost most of its novelty, besides he didn’t like how his face looked when he was surprised. In his opinion it was unattractive and stupid. So he calmly watched her instead, arms crossed over his chest, and waited for what she would do. She was an unremarkable, thin little thing, he thought. Her hair was some boring shade of blonde, her features were plain, and her eyes seemed to be much too small for her face. She resembled a lot of other Kelvic he had seen, but she didn’t look exactly like them. He didn’t recall seeing her among the creatures in the KRI. She was not one of Aunt Amanda’s Kelvic. But who did she belong to then? Why would any Kelvic willingly approach this place? Could it be that she didn’t know where she was? As she started to cry and ran towards him, he immediately made a step back. He didn’t want to be touched by some dirty Kelvic, least of all a naked dirty Kelvic. „I’m not this Treanas“, he informed her. „Why do you think I’m him? My name is Valerius Nitrozian, Kelvic, and you’d better stop this mad behaviour or suffer the consequences.“
