All shook up

[replicatedcourage]

Who: Sola and anyone really
Where: In the apartment in the morning, then in the park for the rest of the day
When: All day
Status: Open

[Link's arrival to the bubble had shaken Sola so much that he hadn't left the apartment since he'd screamed at the hero via SFC to leave him alone. Nothing bad had happened since however, so Sola decided that maybe this wasn't the end of everything and he could still live his life unbothered.

That's the plan, anyway.

It takes him all morning of puttering around the hive before he stubbornly, finally decides to head out and take a walk through the park, figuring he can just.. hide from Link if he shows up. Or something.

Truthfully he hasn't thought it through all that well but damnit, he needs fresh air. Or as fresh as it can get in a bubble under the ocean.]

((ooc: Sola can be tagged either during the morning at the apartment he shares with Signless and Psiioniic or for the rest of the day in the park. Please specify which in your subject! Thanks.))

Park o/

[radiantwingedone]

[ Duke had migrated to the park for a change in scenery, because he might as well...

He forgot that the park might have people in it, unlike the depths of the forest quadrant.

Hello random person, he's.. just going to make his eerily quiet way past and find a good shaded spot to sit. ]

yay Duke!

[replicatedcourage]

[Sola can't help but stare at Duke as he glides past him. She's just so...pretty. Wait, she? Yeah, Sola thinks you're a girl, Duke. Not realizing he's doing it, the Hylian takes a few steps after Duke, mesmerized by the way his long white hair catches the light.]

uiasdfhkjn adorables. Duke, bringing confusion to all o/

[radiantwingedone]

[ Duke hears footsteps, but.. doesn't think much of it for now. Perhaps heading off at the same time?

Maybe he should move further into the park then.. ]

[replicatedcourage]

U-um, wait! I'm not following you or anything, I just, uh... who are you?

[He blushes a bit and looks down, rocking on his feet a little in embarrassment.]

You're really pretty...

1/2

[radiantwingedone]

...? [ He's pretty sure this means that he was being followed, but... ]


. . .

2/2

[radiantwingedone]

. . . . [ It would less awkward if he'd confused someone adult. And drunk. Because he's not too sure how to deal with teen and confusion. ]

... Apologies for confusion.

[replicatedcourage]

Woah!

[His voice is deep! And she's a he! Wow that's embarrassing!

But he's still really pretty. He kinda wants to touch his hair and see if it's as soft as Pounce.]

Uh, I-It's okay! I just, umm...

....

.........


Can I touch your hair?

[radiantwingedone]

... Why? [ But he's stopped walking to be confused. ]

[replicatedcourage]

Because it looks really soft and I want to see if it is. Is that.. is that okay?

[At least he knows to ask instead of just touch?]

[radiantwingedone]

.... .. unsure why should find so interesting... [ It's.. just his hair...

But he's not moving away so... that's as close to a "yeah, sure" as he's going to give. ]

[replicatedcourage]

[Taking Duke's silent standing as a yes, Sola walks over and curls his fingers gently in the taller man's hair, making quite the pleased face as it's as soft as he had hoped.]

It's really nice.

[radiantwingedone]

... [ .... What is he supposed to even say to that. 'Thank you' sounds a bit off. 'It's nothing' seems a bit off, not suited for this use. Help, he doesn't have a ready to use phrase for compliments... ]

Thank.. you for the complement...?

[replicatedcourage]

[Okay maybe this is a little awkward...]

Ahh, haha.. you're welcome? Sorry, I just...

[He just can't stop running his hand through it though. It's so soft! And the ends kind of curl around his finger.]

How do you keep it so soft?

[radiantwingedone]

[ Okay, so long as he's not the only one being a social fail. . .

.... Okay, this is still somewhat relaxing for him and.. a little disconcerting that it is so after so long.. ]

.... wash it regularly. ... friend... was of opinion was just texture of my hair.

[replicatedcourage]

What? That didn't make any sense.

[Why are there so many people who talk funny here?! Geeze!]

[radiantwingedone]

How kept soft; regular cleaning. [ Because he just has a habit of talking weirdly. ]

A friend was of the opinion that it was just the texture of my hair, the reason for why it is soft.

[replicatedcourage]

I wash my hair too, but it's nothing like this! Maybe it is just you...

[He fiddles with it for a moment more then finally seems to grow somewhat self conscious and let's go, stepping back a pace.]

U-umm.. thank you, mister...uh.. what's your name?

[radiantwingedone]

[ Okay, good, that was getting a little awkward...

Duke half turns so that his hair isn't in.. tempting easy reach, even with the stepping back. ]

.... Duke. You?

[replicatedcourage]

Sola. [He smiles warmly.] It's nice to meet you.

that icon and action description don't match in my head...

[radiantwingedone]

Hmn. [ Something he knows how to reply to in polite ways. ] And you.

[ Only.. now what does he do. ]

He doesn't actually have a warm smile. Dark Link icons are hard OTL

[replicatedcourage]

[Sola's not sure either.]

Uh.. so... do you come to the park often? I've never seen you, but I haven't been in awhile. I really like it here though. The trees are nice.

hahaha

[radiantwingedone]

.... Forest quadrant, more often.

[replicatedcourage]

[The young Hylian perks up even more.]

You like the forest too? It's my favorite place! I really like all the trees. I feel more at home there, y'know?

[radiantwingedone]

[ Oh dear ]

... much more preferred than city. [ A slightly agreeing tone. ]

[replicatedcourage]

I've thought about moving into a tree but I think I would miss my friends too much. And miss having nicely cooked breakfast.

[A grin.]
