I A C E T - IANTO - I L L I A D I O
Iacet turned around suddenly, startling from the sudden noise that came from right behind him with a spontaneous unexpectedness. He glanced sharply up from his thoughts as he did so, wings automatically flurrying into his full wingspan.
But what met his alarmed gaze was something, someone, far from threatening. There stood a purple-haired boy, head tilted in a gesture of curiosity, though his tone was far from readable.
Iacet's surprised expression quickly softened to embarrassed relief, skin flushing with a pale pink across the bridge of his nose and tips of his pointed ears, a small, nervous sort of smile flickering onto his lips with a sheepish glow.
"O-oh, I, uh,... s-suppose you saw that, huh." He admitted, shifting his weight awkwardly as he bit his lower lip.
He wasn't entirely sure if telling the guy that it was certainly not the first, nor the last, pillar he had walked into was going to reassure or alarm him.
"I mean, I-I'm okay, though! R-relatively." He offered, smile growing with a nervous sort of eagerness, trying his best to reassure the stranger that he wasn't about to keel over.
He didn't feel as though he had a concussion, anyway. Symptoms were already listing through his head like credits scrolling across a technicolor screen, and none of them corresponded to any abnormalities that he experienced. In fact, the only abnormalities he could possibly list was perhaps an elevated heartbeat and sweaty palms, but that was always an unfortunate consequence of meeting new people, he supposed. Though this person was quite unlike other person, in a still people-like personal people way. He couldn't exactly name it just yet, so he imagined he may as well introduce himself. It wasn't as though he could particularly mess it up more than having his first impression be a spectacular performance of running into inanimate objects. Stellar, really.
He mustered up the courage, taking a moment or two just to be able to calm his heart-rate back down to something manageable that didn't highly resemble something akin to a train derailing rapidly.
"My name's Iacet! W-well, um, my full name's t-technically, uh, Iacet Ianto I-Illiadio, b-b-but people tend to, kinda, well-- sorta mess it up a lot, which I don't particularly mind, i-it's understandable, r-really, if one were to take into account the crossed wires within specific sections of the brain that dictate speech patterns and recognition within individual syllables, a-and, uh, well, not to say, of course, that one's specific brain could possibly dictate such a vast collection of smaller influences found within that specific sphere, really, which in itself could, actually, provide a sort of hypothesis for the mispronunciation itself, if-- " He froze in his gestures as he trailed off abruptly, realizing that it was actually rather-- ""O-offtopic, right. S-sorry!!"
The light pink that had begun its slow fade blossomed again into a pastel red across his pale skin as he inhaled sharply, pushing up his glasses quickly and holding his breath for a second to relocate wherever his original thoughts had lain before he had gone off on yet another tangent.
Oh! Introductions! Right!
He tried again, wings fluttering nervously behind him.
""I-i'm, uh, a senior, b-but,... i-i'm also sorta-kinda new h-here--" he cast a quick glance to his watch, before helpfully adding, """by, like, 07 hours, 31 minutes.". He fidgeted a bit nervously as he abruptly interjected self-consciously, """G-give or take a couple seconds, of course!!!", finishing with a helplessly hopeful sort of look, wishing he didn't sound as strange as he felt. He could swear he was a fish out of water, a fae out of forest, desperate for some source of familiarity or comfort. Iacet probably looked it, too, huffing a strand of black hair out of his field of vision with a distracted puff, fingers barely visible from out of the sweatervests long sleeves as he falteringly reached for his glasses to wipe away a fingerprint he hadnt realized was on there from just moments before.
He placed the glasses haphazardly back on his face, rather content that they weren't affected by his quick acquaintance with a stone pillar, only realizing they were slightly crooked after a minute or two with a vaguely confused squint of metallic silver eyes before he hesitated and fixed it with an absent-minded touch to even out the angle it sat on his nose, blinking rapidly as his eyesight focused fully in on the classmate before him.
