Royal: *Walking along through the grass, thoughts of Kharon and his mate problem hanging heavy in his mind. He isn't paying complete attention to his surroundings as he is busy worrying about his friend.*

Lysander: - Lysander picks his way through the forest slowly. Having just taken a long flight, he's exhausted and was planning to settle down for a nap when he spots another noodle in the nearby clearing. He grins and bounds up to him - Hey! Who're you?

Royal: *Actually screams and jumps landing on his belly in the grass and pressing himself into the ground looking up at Lysander in complete fear.* ... Royal. *Said very meekly*

Lysander: - jumps back in shock - Uh . . . Hey, I didn't mean to scary you. - chuckles nervously, smiling. He moves just a tad closer cautiously - I'm not a bad guy, I promise. - speaking in a soothing tone of voice - Well, Royal, I'm Lysander.

Royal: *Ears a pinned back and tail wrapped around him clearly terrified.* It's nice to meet you... a pleasure... what are you doing here? *Backs away from him slowly. Wishing to all the gods one of his family members was here.*

Lysander: - pauses, noticing him backing away and chuckles again - Not the biggest fan of people, are you, Royal? That's okay, though, I can wait. - sits down on the floor - Well, I was looking for someplace to take a nap, you know, 'cause I was tired from all the flying, but I saw you, and I came to say hello. Didn't see this coming, though. - smiles - I'm really not gonna hurt you, Royal. Really.

Royal: *Stops moving backwards and just sort of lays there.* Not really no. The scare me.. *Said softly before looking up at the sky and then back to him and his wings.* You can take a nap here, not many will bother you. Not many come this far out. I can go and let you nap. If you would like?

Lysander: Hey, we're not all that bad, Royal. Am I scary? - whines - But whhhyyyy? - pouts - You're just tryin' to get rid of me. - huffs - I'm not going to go to sleep now, I hope you know. - pauses - Is that why you stay out here?

Royal: ... *Nods at him before stopping at the whine and tilting his head he huffs softly.* Why are you scary? Because you are, I'm not trying to get rid of you I'm trying to get away. And you don't have to sleep but yes that is why I spend so much time out here.

Lysander: -sighs - 'Spose I can't really change that . . . for now, anyway. I will prove it to you, though, and I'll just keep coming back until you do. - smiles lopsidedly until he realizes he might scare Royal from here - Uh, but not if you're still scared, like, a month from now or something. But I'm serious, I won't hurt you. And why be afraid of someone that's not gonna hurt you?

Royal: *Sighs* If you insist though I don't understand why... why do you feel the need to prove this to me? *Tilts his head at him before shaking his head softly.* How do I know for sure you aren't going to hurt me? You are capable of lying I am sure. So how can I know beyond any doubt that you aren't going to hurt me in some way?

Lysander: Mm, I dunno why. But what I do know is that there are good people out there, and I'm gonna find 'em for you, got it? - ponders this for a minute - Well, 'cause I'm, well, me? I don't lie, it's poor sportsmanship. You'd know if I wanted to hurt you, I'm not really good at hiding things, so ~ - pauses again for a second, tilting his head in one direction, puzzled. A girl can be seen through the bushes walking around the clearing, for some reason. He pauses, unsure about whether or not he should tell Royal - I thought you said people didn't come here often?

Royal: ... You are a strange person but alright. If you feel you must then be my guest I'm not going to stop you. *Shakes his head slowly.* Well... I suppose it isn't good sportsmenship but people still do it and again it is a matter of how do I believe a word you are saying when you haven't proven to me I can trust you? *Tilts his head and blinks.* They don't... why?

Lysander: - nods - Perfect, it'll turn out perfect. I know it will. - sighs - But you know I won't. Someday I'll prove it, but for now you're just gonna have to trust me. Although I'm pretty sure that's not gonna happen. - coughs - Um, n-no reason. - coughs again - Man, I think the trees are getting to me, or, er the flowers! Yeah, the flowers. - tracks the female's progress and notes how she doesn't circle to the back - I think there's a lovely spot back there where we'd be safe and soung - I mean, stop coughing. Me that is. Y'know . . . 'Cause of the . . . Coughing . . . - coughs again -

Female: - frowns, seeing the way the winged boy attempted to circle back. She steps out into the light, a friendly smile on her face, unaware of Royal's fear - Hi, guys. Wanna play?

Royal: *Tilts his head at him.* I'm sure it will. *Shakes his head before sighing.* You are right... that isn't going to happen. I don't trust easily. *Frowns* The flowers? Are you allergic... if you are allergic you should probably get out of here fairly quickly. *Is unaware of the female until she speaks and thus makes him scream and actually dive behind Lysander in his fear of the girly voice.* Not really. *Whispered.*

Lysander: Well, then you should start with the best, 'cause I'm the best person to trust, hands down. - avoids eye contact - Yes, flowers. I'm deathly allergic, we should really go somewhere else. - turns towards the back, hoping Royal might follow or something, but prepared to do something that might shoo the girl away - Uh, hi-I! - jumps as Royal uses him as a human shield - Hey, hey, it's okay, Royal. - smiles comfortingly - Uh, miss, sorry, he doesn't like people. Would you mind going thataway? - waves at the other direction - It'd be really helpful. - looks back at Royal - It's okay, Royal. I promise. She tries to jump you, I'll protect you, 'kay? Always. - smiles -

Female: - jumps in alarm at the boy's reaction - Oh, I won't hurt you! - advances on the two, unaware of the reaction -
