Where: The plaza, by the coral
When: Afternoon
Style: I shall match you
Status: Open

Those who choose to return to the city may see Cielo in either his human or demon form in just about every location in the bubble. From the street to the top of Vatheon's tallest (still standing) buildings, he's there surveying the landscape.

The first thing he did once the bubble was declared safe to return to was, naturally, to head straight for the Embryon Base and check to see if it was still habitable. Satisfied in its safety, he looked to the city itself. Even though it was the same Vatheon he had been living in for over a year, it seemed like a different place with all the damage.

It reminded him a little bit of the Junkyard. And thinking about the Junkyard brings up certain memories for him. Eventually, he finds himself flying by the Lamufao in demon form, and remembering that he hasn't touched it recently, gracefully descends down to the ground and leans forward, touching his head to the coral while letting out a low growl of frustration and discontent.

Kurloz waves again, then points at Cielo and tilts his head again. Hopefully that will be enough to make it clear that he won't talk, but also enough to get his question across. He's never seen anything or one like this, before, so maybe he can get the guy to ramble about himself. Or maybe he'll just explain what he's doing at the coral. Either way, information is information.

Doesn't want to talk eh? Or maybe...he can't talk? Cielo decides to revert to human form to take a look at this unfamiliar troll. And of course, the first thing to catch his attention is the sewn up lips. Well, that explains things. Maybe it's better if he stays like this. Even if the troll can't talk back, he should still introduce himself.

"I'm Cielo."

Kurloz watches, fascinated, as Cielo switches back to his human form. It's certainly like nothing he's ever seen before, and he's rather curious.

But first things first, introductions. He can mime questions later. Introductions are always a process, but the SFC helps with that. Rather than taking it out to type on it, Kurloz goes to the list of residents, and scrolls through it until he reaches "Kurloz Makara". Then he holds it out toward Cielo, so that he can see it.

"Kurloz Makara."

When Cielo meets a new person, he has a habit of saying their name out loud. It helps him remember it better, associate it with the person. Although, with looks like those, Kurloz really isn't a troll that seems very easy to forget.

Why, he could be a demon himself.

Kurloz nods affirmation. It's a good thing Cielo got the pronunciation, since Kurloz can't exactly repeat the correct way for him.

He gestures to Cielo, then mimics Cielo's demon form with his hands, and finally tilts his head. He wonders if he can get Cielo to explain that whole change. It's not like anything he's heard of before, even cherubs.

Even without the gestures, it's pretty obvious what Kurloz would be curious about. Who wouldn't ask about his demon aside from others like him?

"That was my demon," Cielo explains, raising a finger. "His name is Dyaus. He lets me fly and use magic. You could say he is me."

Kurloz mocks a surprised face. It's definitely interesting, but not exactly what he expected to hear. The way Cielo talks about the demon is interesting as well- the demon is him, but yet he draws a distinction between the two. It seems fascinating, but also a line of inquiry that would be very difficult to pursue.

So he just gives a thumbs-up instead. It works, because he does think it sounds pretty awesome.

Well, Kurloz seems like a fine bro to Cielo. All the trolls he's met so far have been rather nice to be around. Even the less agreeable ones. It takes a lot for Cielo to actually dislike a person, so perhaps his opinions may not be the most helpful.

"If you ever want to go flying some time, I'll take you."

Kurloz again makes a surprised face, and points to himself. That seems a lot of trust to put into a near-stranger. Then again, if the demon can use magic, it's likely that they wouldn't need to be worried about being hurt or sabotaged by someone flying with them.

But of course! Trolls have been good to him so far and Cielo sees no problem with trusting someone who doesn't give him reason to think otherwise.

If someone does give him reason to think otherwise though...well, it wouldn't be very pretty.

"Ja, you."

Hopefully no troll will, obviously.

For now, Kurloz certainly has no plans to. He just gives a wide smile and a nod. He might not get the chance to take Cielo up on that offer, but that's no reason not to accept it.

Wow, communication is both difficult and not as difficult as Cielo thought it might be. He's never met someone who couldn't talk before. Someone suffering from a mute ailment doesn't count. With this gesture, he thinks they have officially solidified status as new friends.

"Will you show me what you like to do sometime?"

It only seems fair.

The grin, if possible, widens. It's been a while since anyone actually asked him a question like that. Most people aren't interested in learning about his clown thing.

He knows not what he's getting into. Perhaps a normal person would be concerned, but Cielo is far from normal. So he smiles back, satisfied with the fact that he seems to have made Kurloz happy.

"Let me know when you have time, ja?"

He nods enthusiastically, then turns with a little wave. He'll be sure to look for Cielo again some time. For now, maybe he'd better let him get on with touching the coral, and not interrupt his day any further.
