And Tsurumaru just crouches down to be on Polaris' level. Kiku lands on his shoulder! She's magpie tweeting at Polaris. Probably something like good morning how are you and so on. )
Ah, what a surprise! Did you dress yourself? How beautiful you are!
(He looks up at Kaeya,)
And Kaeya-kun too.
(Tsuru, he is an adult? Don't call him -kun? )
A gift for me? To be treated so favorably... How will I ever repay this?
[ polaris extends the small clipping in his beak. more gifts! bird language revolved around the shiniest of baubles and polaris is happy to provide. he trills out in turn. because no, kaeya dressed him, as in kaeya unceremoniously wound a bunch of vines loosely around his daemon who is more than happy to stand out more.
your compliments are appreciated, met with a soft ruffle of his tail feathers. yes. he is so beautiful. thank you, thank you. ]
Very easy, you spend some quality time with me. I thought we could have a bit of fun, lighten up our situation. [ bounces the vines a bit ] Literally.
(Kiku chirps? She tweets and will flutter down to take the gift from Polaris. She is but a simple magpie who enjoys shiny things. No actually if Daemons are their souls, it's because she, like Tsurumaru, likes to be spoiled and treated well. She's thrilled. Look at the way her feathers spread and she preens. She'll take flight into the room! Hopping on the floor a short distance away and chirping, as if calling for them to come in.
Tsurumaru takes his time standing up straight. Do you ever get the feeling that someone is acting a certain way to deliberately make them look at them? That's literally everything Tsurumaru does. He just wants attention okay.)
Thinking of me? (He's teasing I hate him.) How thoughtful.
(Kiku! Chirps! PAY. ATTENTION. TO. HER.)
When was the last time I arranged flowers...
(His voices trails. Well? When was it? He isn't going to explain anymore.)
Come in, come in. Make yourself at home. Maybe Allen-kun can join us.
(Allen...... who is not Tsurumaru's roommate FYI.)
[ polaris is taking his sweet time, okay, but will follow after kiku happily and find a place to perch with a great sweep of white wings to give him just a little lift. come up here and i will pay attention to you! a trill and lift of the feathers indicates thusly. ]
Ah yes, I'm afraid my only acquaintance with him was at trial... when he said he would only strip for something in return.
[ a chuckle as he will follow tsurumaru in and make himself comfortable wherever! sits like a slut in a chair tbh and deposits the bioluminescent flora on one of the desks. he begins to take the end of one and slowly work it within his hands, not too much so as not to crush the leaves, but with a delicate touch. ]
Mmm, perhaps a fun little crown, what do you think? Doubles as a bit of your own personal lighting in a place like this.
(Kiku will definitely perch next to Polaris. She's just a tiny little magpie next to him but she has the energy and confidence of a big bird, ok. They are just two Daemons that are going to spoil each other with attention apparently.
Tsurumaru thinks its cute.)
And did you give him anything?
(Kaeya ur sitting posture.......... In comparison, Tsurumaru sits more properly. He has good posture, like someone who really likes to look his best but there's something relaxed about it too... like this is something that just comes to him naturally without any effort at all.
He reaches for some of the pieces, picking the ones he likes best. He's always had a talent for making delicate things-- origami, flower arrangements, delicate calligraphy-- he's an old, classical soul.)
I would prefer a red one. (Some of these probably glow a very pale pink which is close enough??) But these will do for now.
[ social preening commencing, which is also just polaris finding loose feather sheathes and being like oh how pretty you are? really these birds are just lifting each other up like we all should be doing. ]
I'll take blue then. That's always been my color.
[ a warm smile as he pushes some of the pinker vines towards tsurumaru as he goes through them. kaeya's sitting posture continues to be that of an inappropriate slut, but he's having quite a good time in tsurumaru's company as evidenced by polaris' happy little trills. asshole. ]
I thought they might also be helpful as beacons of sorts in all the dark. We can better keep an eye on each other this way should something happen.
(These birds are really just being the healthy emotional support their companions probably really actually need but won't reveal because tehre is a human shell covering their soul.
Kaeya mentions blue being his color and Kiku spreads her wings and lets out a loud call. She is, after all, an azure-winged magpie. Blue is a good color. She returns her attention back to Polaris though, her tail feathers wagging with each little hop... this is what happens when your body is 60% tailfeathers ok. But yes, yes, you're so pretty, Polaris. She knows. And so kind too. What a good bird you are.)
A light in the darkness,
(Of course, Tsurumaru is more inclined to think in metaphor. He's an old soul.
He begins to twist some of the vines together, looping smaller pieces between the twists,) and a tool to see.
My, I wonder what other uses we could find.
(He picks up one of star-shaped bloom,)
If we knew the meaning, imagine the secret messages one could send~
(Flower language. He's talking about flower language.)
[ kaeya definitely didn't miss the little show from kiku, he's smiling throughout. blue is definitely a magnificent color. polaris in turn will continue to dote, creating cozy space to continue to be gross and preen any loose feathers before finally simply settling in. it's comfortable here, cozy, and he looks at rest save for one eye open. ]
Perhaps there's a book around here that might have the answers to your question. We could go looking around later if you'd like.
[ he lifts his head. ]
Flower language is incredibly telling when done correctly. The intricacies one could send with just a simple bloom.
[ i cant believe there was a wholeass event in genshin about this im so angry u brought flower language up yells ]
(did you not see the heian bullshit in his profile...... flower arrangement is peak.)
And maybe we can find some other books, too. You can learn a lot from what the people choose to record~
(See, also: "record-keeping."
But he's nodding in agreement here! He's very familiar with this topic,)
A flower by itself can tell a different story when placed with others. The color of one could change the meaning entirely from that of another color.
(From his work, he glances over at Kiku who stops her fussing and settling with Polaris to look at her companion. Hmm, they're both onto something here. But Kiku will settle in next to Polaris, picking at the feathers and arranging them in what might vaguely look nest-like? It's more like a feather mat than a nest. But she just wants to collect what she can, okay.)
