(( The figure on the screen is poking at the obviously lighter and possibly brighter (it's hard to tell in sepia tones) feathers that are strewn throughout his dark hair. From the curious look on his face as he tries to inspect them, it's clear they haven't always been there. No surprise to anyone who's been in Nippon very long, though. ))

I wonder what kind of bird I'm supposed to be. Any thoughts? Do the feathers make me look better or worse? I hope I'm still cute.

(( Tiny pout. ))

[Guess who is tackling Will from behind? It's Riley!]

I always think you're cute!

[floralias]

Ack! (( Will squawked and stumbled forward a few steps, dropping his device. Farewell, network!

But as soon as his surprise passes, Will giggles and then squirms in Riley's arm to turn around so he can thank him with a quick kiss. ))

[hideawayparadise]

[Giggling, he lets his husband turn around to better be able to return the kiss. Then he starts looking at the feathers better.]

Wow. It looks like one of those hair styles where you pin feathers into your hair! It's beautiful!

[floralias]

(( Will wibbled, slipping his arms around Riley's waist. ))

You think so? It doesn't look silly?

[hideawayparadise]

Of course not! It's beautiful!

[He runs his fingers over a feather then looks into his eyes.]

I can't lie, after all!

[floralias]

(( All the more reason to ask him! He'd tell Will if he looked ridiculous, even if no one else would! ))

It feels weird when you touch them.

[hideawayparadise]

Good weird? Bad weird?

[floralias]

Good weird. It's just... it feels almost ticklish, but not quite.

[hideawayparadise]

Well as long as it's good and it doesn't bother you then I'll keep doing it so you can get used to it.

[He gently strokes a feather again.]

[floralias]

(( This time, that touch sends a shiver down Will's spine. ))

What kind of bird do you think they're from?

[hideawayparadise]

Ummm...I don't know. They're pretty multi-colored which I usually only see with tropical ones. At least with these colors.

[floralias]

That makes sense. I'm a tropical flower, after all.

[hideawayparadise]

You are. So maybe you're a tropical bird. Oh! Or maybe you're like me and you're some kind of magical creature instead of just a bird!

[floralias]

(( Oh, how his face lights up at that thought! He ooohs quietly, then quickly pouts. ))

I guess we'll have to wait to find out.

(( So much pouting! ))

[hideawayparadise]

I hope you're a magical creature. That would be so much fun. You and I being so magical together...

[floralias]

I hope so too. It would be so perfect for us.

[hideawayparadise]

Yes! You something of the air and me something of the sea. I think that's really beautiful. Don't you?

[floralias]

Ahh~ Now I'm going to be so disappointed if I'm just a bird.

[hideawayparadise]

But you'll be the most beautiful bird around to me.

[He pouts at him.]

[floralias]

That goes without saying, love. You always think the best of me. But I want to be a magical creature, like you are.

[hideawayparadise]

Well I think the chances are very high right now. Because my gut says so.

[floralias]

I trust your gut.

[hideawayparadise]

That's good. I think it's a very trustworthy one!

[floralias]

(( Will leaned down and pressed his cheek to Riley's belly. No, wait, that was his ear. ))

Your gut's saying we should go get some pastries.

[hideawayparadise]

[Riley giggles as Will does the silly thing of actually leaning down to "listen" to his gut. It never fails to make him happy how Will goes the extra mile to just do something fun.]

Is it? Does it say what kind?
