(( Well here's a fresh new face on the network. He smiles brightly and waves at the camera as if addressing good friends he hasn't seen in a while. The same hand that waved, cards through his messy dark hair more out of habit than anything else. ))
Hiii~ My name's Will. You can probably guess I'm new here. I'm sure I'm not the first to do this and sorry for being repetitive. I'm looking for someone: a cute fellow Fae with striking blond curls. If you've seen him, could you please let me know? If not, I'll just have to search elsewhere!
Thanks in advance!
(( Another wave, some finger guns, and he cuts the feed. ))

Can you swing the camera around for me? I'll figure out where you're at then come over.
no subject
(( He stops walking and turns the camera away to show not only his surroundings, but the nearest shops and cross streets. ))
I was given a map so if there's somewhere specific you'd like to go, I'm sure I could find it.

[This is how you know it's definitely Riley no matter what universe. That obsession with sweets and books.]
no subject
Are you sure you're not a dragon?
no subject
Give me ten minutes, okay?
no subject
no subject
Do you want anything? I can order for us.
no subject
no subject
Yeah! I do!
[Coming to sit at the table, he slings his bag over his chair.]
You're not at all like the other Fae I've met.
no subject
(( He nods in agreement, and though he's trying to be casual and keeping the conversation light, there's something heavy weighing in those dark eyes. ))
They don't like me very much. I'm not particularly fond of most of them, either.
no subject
I've probably told you what they've done to me too. So I'm not a fan either.
no subject
You have. But I'll hear it as many times as you need to get it off your chest.
no subject
Thanks. That means a lot. I try to not dwell on it too much but sometimes it just kind of bubbles up.
no subject
(( There's an earnestness in both his voice and the way in which he looks at Riley. He's seen first-hand the horrible cruelty of the Fae. It makes his heart ache to recall his own experiences. So yes, he understands that sometimes these things have a way of haunting. ))
no subject
[Because he rather loves that being the way they met. Right there in a place he adores and feels so at peace.]
no subject
That's right. It's to help the kids learn to read without feeling embarrassed of making mistakes. They read to the dogs instead of adults to gain confidence.
no subject
[Their milkshakes arrive and his face lights up. He takes a big sip and moans happily.]
So goooood.
no subject
(( It makes him happy just thinking back on it. A few weeks into the program and they were planning for coffee (or, in reality, sweet treats) at a local bakery-cafe. They really clicked, which Will hadn't expected, but found pleasantly surprising.
Once Riley makes that sound, Will laugh heartily. It's all so very familiar. he's not quite as dramatic in his delight, but he's had a few hundred years to tone it down. ))
What else would you recommend here?
no subject
[He sticks his tongue out dramatically.]
Oh and there's a vendor that sells ice cream nearby. I also found a shop with all kinds of candies in it. I'm still going through and trying all the different kinds!
no subject
Maybe we can try some together?
no subject
[After taking another sip of milkshake, he gets up and heads to the front so he can order a number of pastries for them which he carefully balances then sets them down for them to share on the table.]
I got as many as I could carry, Will.
[He's finding it so easy to connect with Will. He encourages everything he loves and even wants to join in on them with him.
Would be also like his art? Him reading to him? He hopes so because it's really freeing to get to share all this with someone who seems to know him so well already.]
no subject
(( And he couldn't be happier to try each and every item Riley brought over. Just spending time with the other was enough to make him happy. He lays out a few napkins so they can split the pastries without making a mess all over the table.))
Do you have a favorite? I'd like to try that first!
no subject
[Breaking a strawberry tart in half, he offers it to Will, so thrilled to be with someone who appreciates sweets as much as he does.]
no subject
I love candied strawberries.
no subject
Me too. Do you like chocolate covered ones too?
