It's so nice to not have to worry about being turned into a stool!

[Is she purposefully goading someone? Maaaybe.]

I wonder if he's turning someone else into a stool or something worse! [GASP.] I bet he is. What a criminal!

[Tiny hummingbird wings flutter in indignation on her back.]

Someone should lock up the Crow before he does more damage. Lock him up and throw away the key~

[And the goading continues.]

[ RUBBING HIS TEMPLE to distract from the pink of his cheeks. ]

Phoenix. Not crow. Phoenix.

And I didn't turn you into anything.

[ A certain phoenix is actually sprouting feathers today. And his eyes are firmly shut to hide the fact they are a molten gold. ]

[Video]

[watergrape]

Are you sure you're a Phoenix? You looked pretty black to me when we first met.

[Black and burned.]

You did too! You said it was to teach me a lesson on shifting my form, but I think you did it for your own amusement.

[Video]

[firefalling]

[ And those eyes open to give her an exasperated look that is too fond to hold any real bite. ]

Unless people have been lying to me, I was burnt to a crisp at the time. Of course I was black.

[ And his brother wouldn't lie to him, surely.

He ducks his head then, trying to hide a little grin at hearing he has turned her into things in the past. ]

Did it work?

[Video]

[watergrape]

[Gold? Gold. She might have to rethink her position in this argument!]

You were! That's why I planted you. We thought you were dead, but I felt you breathing.

[Or else he might have ended up in a stew. Her wings make an audible sound, humming as they move so quickly.]

I was definitely a stool! And some other things. You left me like that for a whole day!

[Video]

[firefalling]

[ And that would've been pretty bad. And a sad end. ]

You do not plant birds, Jin Mi. Have you learned that yet?

I could add to that. [ He's mostly teasing? ] I'm not sure the lesson has stuck.

[Video]

[watergrape]

I took you out! I fed you honey and when you turned into a man, you acted like I was doing something crazy by trying to remove your tumor.

[It's not a tumor. She gets that much now.]

No, no no! If you do, I'll - [What? There's not much a stool can do.] Your eyes have changed.

[Smooooth.]

[Video]

[firefalling]

[ How is she this adorable and yet so innocent? Xufeng shakes his head just a little, amused quite despite himself.

His lips twitch again at the abrupt change in subject - he makes a note to turn her into...maybe a flower? A feather? Yes. A feather. When he sees her next. ]

I'm surprised the stool noticed.

[ He's so funny!

Or something. ]

lol i had to also video

[bythewaves]

A stool? Jin Mi, are you alright? Is something wrong?

[Video]

[watergrape]

Yes, Lord Elf. A stool! He was punishing me for not learning the basic mantras.

[But then! Her voice softens.]

I was mostly teasing him.

[Video]

[bythewaves]

[ FRETTING ]

He punished you by turning you into an inanimate object? That seems unfairly harsh. [ His tone is darkening, protective ]

[Video]

[watergrape]

Since I couldn't manage it, he did it for me and... I was suppose to undo it. But it's hard when you can't move!

[Oh she yelled his ears off the entire time.]

[Video]

[bythewaves]

[ The bristling settles, slightly ]

It was a training exercise?

[ Not the sort he would wish on anyone ]

[Video]

[watergrape]

Yes. To make me learn mantras. There was a lot to memorize!

[And her effort left much to be desired.]

[yeoldmonster]

Who is this Crow and why is he going around turning people into things? What right does he have to do this?

[Does someone need to meet his sword?]

[watergrape]

He's secretly a magical bird from heaven. I was his student. I guess he thought he could tease me.

[No swords!]

[yeoldmonster]

[He's... what?]

You're a student of a bird?

[watergrape]

I was! He's a Phoenix.

[yeoldmonster]

He's a Phoenix named Crow? That's.. really stupid.

Is this an actual problem or are you just bothering everyone with your nonsense?

[watergrape]

No, I named him Crow because when I first met him, he was burned to a crisp!

Bullies are a problem! I'm just an innocent fairygoddess.

[dragonrising]

Mi'er? What happened?

[There's a lot of lack of explanation here...]

Video

[watergrape]

Phoenix was ignoring me, so I embarrassed him.

[He gets immediate honesty. Runyu doesn't need more problems and she feels guilty already.]

[dragonrising]

[He blinks in surprise.]

...That's what this was about? You were trying to get Xufeng's attention?

[watergrape]

When he's quiet, I worry about him. [And she had been right, too!] Have you seen his big wings?

[dragonrising]

Not yet. You two are getting along then?

[watergrape]

He taught me how to preen since I have my own wings now. [They're too tiny for her to do much.] We talk about Fish Fairy a lot!
