Cernuunnos: *perched at the top of a tree, feeling flighty and nervous - not really feeling too sure about all the other noodles around* Oh my. Should I talk to somebody? Deary me. I don't know. Probably not. Yes. No...Yes! I will stay here. I am safest at a distance.....
----------
Lada: -giggles up at her brother from her position of lounging on one of the lower branches- Cernnie, you're going to have to get over your nervousness soon! -huffs- Though, I suppose, you ARE the God of New Love - and nerves are a part of that. Even still, new people are great! Why, just the other day I met the Goddess of the Strange - She was delight and her tail could TALK!
----------
Cernnuuos: Oh! But....How ever could I? I mean...what if someone doesn't like what I say. What if they just....Oh. I don't know. I just couldn't. *stops and blinks, looking down at her* ...Her tail? Could talk? Oh my. That's odd. Really though, how different. See! I could never talk to someone like that. I'd be too plain.
----------
Lada: -huffs- Dear brother, sometimes you are just too much! People will likely never take anything you say in offense - you so rarely speak that they'll be too in shock to note what is you are speaking about! -sticks her tongue out teasingly- Yes, it most certainly could talk! His name was Steam, if I recall correctly, and he was quite bold. The Goddess herself was a sweet lady named Contempra. -laughs- Cernnie, please! You are the most conversational person I've met. Your wings, for one, are a great topic of debate. Do you have any idea how many times father has been stopped so that other may admire his wings? And I daresay your's are far more lovely - though don't tell him I said so. -rolls her eyes- It might hurt his vanity.
----------
Cernnuuos: *Absolutely appalled at his sister* OH. My goodness. You can't have just said that. I heard you wrong, surely!? I am in no way more appealing than father. I'm not listening you you anymore. I've decided, you're a liar. Gosh! *turns his back* Anyway, it's not like any of what you said is true. I'm not a conversationalist! Like you said, I never speak. Maybe a word or two! Hardly any more! See, I'm barely talking to you right now. *Hmmphs in agreement with himself*
----------
Lada: -out right laughs at her brother- Honestly, Cernnuuos! Have you no faith in yourself?! -jumps up from her branch to perch on his- Besides, I said you were conversational not a conversationalist! -tilts her head, grinning- People talk about you to you. That's not too scary, right? If you're the topic of conversation, you shouldn't have to worry about answering wrongly!
----------
Cernnuuos: *Mortified, his eyes go large and he whips his head around to his sister, looking like he's going to cry* Really!? OH MY SELF. Seeee! I can't even talk right. How am I supposed to know there is a different between conversational and conversationalist! This is what I mean. That WAS me being the topic of conversation and I can't even do that right! UGH. I'll never be able to talk to anyone! I mean, what if I find someone cute. Lada, I'd die.
----------
Lada: -laughs so hard she almost falls out of the tree- Cernnie! You've got see you're being completely ridiculous! -giggles, wiping her eyes- You're an amazing person. Kind, sweet, and really smart. You always have a nice thing to say about people. Your only flaw is that you don't see yourself clearly at all. -leans against him, smiling- You're really wonderful and it hurts that you don't see it.
---------
Cernnuuos: No. You're wonderful. You can talk to people and do things, and just...yeah. I can't. Ha! See? No good with words here. *pouts at her* What about you! I mean. You're sitting here, talking to me. And stuff. So. Yeah - why aren't you talking to people!
----------
Lada: -rolls her eyes into the next dimension- I AM talking to people! I'm talking to you! -shrugs- I like spending time with my socially inept brother from time to time, so sue me. -sticks her tongue out at him- You're just a little awkward, dear brother. You could hold a proper conversation if you wanted to - I KNOW it - but you just succumb to your nerves instead of powering through them. That's not a bad thing, per say, but it can really make people think you don't like them.
