You have pretty hair.

[There, that's got to be a neutral observation, right?]

[He just smiles--toothily if tiredly--and twirls a lock of her hair around his finger.]

It's just so soft. Is it hard to make things stay in it, since it's so smooth?

Beads, or ribbons? Is that not something humans do?

[Fashion chat is such a reliable source of smalltalk. Every time he thinks he's being normal... Has he seen humans putting ornaments in their hair? He's not sure.]
mentornomore: (really)

[personal profile] mentornomore 2015-09-26 09:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[Girls?]

Well, it's more of an arbora fashion, but I still like it for special occasions. Even if I do usually end up hitting myself in the nose if I wear anything that dangles.
mentornomore: (sigh)

[personal profile] mentornomore 2015-09-26 10:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Sure. I think most of my jewelry is here, or something that looks like it, anyway, you know.

[Cabins are weird.]

I don't have very much, though.

[His personal collection would put to shame the treasures of many a wealthy human fashion plate.]
mentornomore: (really)

[personal profile] mentornomore 2015-09-27 12:39 am (UTC)(link)
Everyone does, if there's somebody to impress. Consorts wear the most, probably.

[Or... normal ones do. When your most notable consorts are a reformed feral and a line grandfather, you take what you can get.]
mentornomore: (sigh)

[personal profile] mentornomore 2015-09-27 12:58 am (UTC)(link)
It's something you're born. There are three kinds of aeriat. Warriors, like me, and queens and consorts.

[And explaining the difference without mentioning wings or shapeshifting is tricky.]

They're much bigger and stronger than we are. And they can clutch.
mentornomore: (dramatic)

[personal profile] mentornomore 2015-09-27 01:01 am (UTC)(link)
Yes.

[Well, he's the one who brought it up.]
mentornomore: (distant)

[personal profile] mentornomore 2015-09-27 01:07 am (UTC)(link)
All arbora can, and queens and consorts. It's just warriors who can't.
mentornomore: (sigh)

[personal profile] mentornomore 2015-09-27 01:11 am (UTC)(link)
[At least the absurdity of that pulls him out of his incipient dark mood. Though there are a lot of genders in the world, he supposes. There's probably someone who can do that.]

Can father clutches, in that case.
mentornomore: (sulk)

[personal profile] mentornomore 2015-09-27 01:37 am (UTC)(link)
No, I didn't think there was any hurry, and... My situation is complicated.
mentornomore: (dramatic)

[personal profile] mentornomore 2015-09-27 01:57 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not supposed to be a warrior. I was born a mentor. It's an arbora caste. But the colony was failing, and dying courts need warriors. It's old magic. No one knows how to fix it even though we're not in danger anymore.
