However, Ravji, a fable of Nataraja, and incarnation of Shiva, could not be slowed by such a thing as stone. His blood, filled with the fiery passion of a dancer, moved too quickly to shift completely to hard rock, and his forearm and hand appeared to be... Living stone. His hand, now changed, flexed, and he appeared to be alright, if stone from wrist to elbow. Odd. Reaching up with the new appendage, he brushed the remaining tears from her cheeks, surprisingly gentle.
"This happened for a reason, Flerida... Hrmm... Your emotions are your strength, apparently."
Ji was rather chillax, for someone who's lower arm was a strange kind of stone. The color was strange, reflecting what almost ran in his veins. Black stone, like onyx, with veins of dark purple running through it. The color of his hair... He held it up, watching the sunlight glint off it, and then looked back over to her.
"Perhaps you were meant to change me in this way."

The avian Fable couldn't help but stare at Ravji's arm, she hadn't meant to do that. She didn't even know she was capable of anything like that!
"A-are you alright?" her voice trembled, her hands reaching out to touch Ravji's arm. "I-I'm so sorry, I... I should be getting back home."
She had to find a way to reverse what she had done, Flerida was not as easily calmed as Ravji. She attempted to walk away, but her legs nearly buckled from the effort. She was still rather weak.
She hated herself for having to ask for help from the person she could have hurt. With a furious blush she made her request.
"My legs seem to be uncooperative," Yes, state the obvious Flerida, "Could I trouble you to help me back home?"

Ravji's four arms had already been strong, even more so now that one of them seemed to have... An onyx casing around it. Or something. The tall boy gently scooped Flerida into his top arms, the lower two grabbing his instruments, as he smiled at her, and exited the clearing.
"One must not be too angered with the stars for the changes they set before us. Clarity will come in time."
As she didn't really know where she was supposed to be going, seeing as that was why she'd bumped into him, lost, he allowed her to tell him the general area of her home, and found it himself in around twenty minutes. Once at the door, he gently set her down, and lifted one of her tan hands with his tone one, kissing it.
"Do not belittle yourself for something you did not mean to cause, Flerida."
An understanding smile, and he stepped back, silver eyes scanning the area for... Something.

"Th-thank you, I apologize again for everything." She bowed low as she tried to still the minor tremors in her stomach. People spoke of butterflies in their stomach, but why did Flerida's feel as if they were made of rocks? "I-if there's anything I can do to make it up to you, just let me know."
The curtains rustled slightly, but not from the wind. Someone had been watching from the window.

"Come see me tomorrow, Flerida? That would suffice."
Ravji's silver eyes shifted to the window, and he suddenly felt a little self concious. He didn't like strangers to see his arms, and now especially... Letting go of the hand he'd kissed, he hid his stone appendage behind his back, his other lower hand slipping into a pocket.
Still, he said nothing, waiting for her answer instead. She was an interesting, unique person, and he would enjoy getting to know her better.

Flerida felt her heart flutter at the invitation, but before she could say anything the door opened.
"And who's this? One of your little friends, Riddy? My he's a good-looking lad!" A red-haired woman declared brightly. "Who knew you had good taste?"
"H-Huni!" The Fable winced, "Please don't make assumptions."
Huni laughed it off and extended her hand, she didn't seem to bat an eye at Ravji's multiple limbs.

Ravji looked charmed, and rather relived if anything, and grinned engagingly. Taking Huni's hand in one of his upper one's, he lightly touched his lips to it in greeting.
"Hello, Miss Huni. I presume you are Flerida's guardian? You have a wonderful daughter."
A chuckle and he let go off her, completely unembarassed, shrugging fluidly, stone arm still behind his back. He didn't want Huni teasing Riddy about her accidental magic attack.

"Yes, yes, I am." She nodded, their relationship was more akin to sisters, rather than a mother and daughter sort. "She is, but she'd be so much prettier and more fun if she smiled more often."
"There's very little reason to smile about!" Flerida snapped, growing more and more mortified. "I'll see you tomorrow, Ravji." She had wanted to speak to Ravji more, but not with Huni around. Oh no, who knows what the red-head would say?
"What's the rush? Would you like something to eat? We don't have much, but Riddy here knows her way around the kitchen better than I do." Huni laughed, enjoying the Fable's reaction.

"There's a dignified sort of beauty in those that have few reasons to smile, Miss Huni."
Ravji would have loved to come inside, but really didn't want to make Flerida even more uncomfortable. Turning his attention away from her mother and ack the the fable, he raised his eyebrows.
"I can leave, Flerida."

The Fable smiled gratefully at Ravji and wished her guardian was even a fourth as understanding. She'd have to make do with Huni in the mean time. "Thank you," she bowed in relief.
Huni only chuckled before waving goodbye at Ravji, "Come back soon, then. Let us know in advance so I can tidy up a bit." she winked, before ruffling Flerida's hair affectionately. "Now about your sleeve..."
((and we can end here n.n))
