Tassel: >33 -amusing himself by leaping into huge snow drifts- -covered in snow but still stands out vividly against the snow- -peers about for his next target drift-
Oliver: *daintily stepping through the snow, he cringes each time his hooves make that awful crunching sound* There must be something t- Oh my. *his eyes light up when he notices Tassel's bouncing form across the snow* ... Oh my, oh my. How beautiful. *fearlessly approaches the hart, admiring Tassel's glittering exterior* Excuse me, but I couldn't help but notice.... You. You are absolutely gorgeous, if I may say so. *gives him a gentle smile*
Tassel: -crouches down, about to leap when Oliver approaches- -freezes- o////////////////o U-uh u-um.... -totally caught off guard- ........ T-thanks? ......... -shoves his head into a snow drift to hide his embarrassment-
Oliver: *his smile widens when the blood rushes to Tassel's cheeks* I mean it. *would encourage him to come out of the snow, but he's perfectly content with admiring what is still visible*
Tassel: -wings flutter rapidly, keeps his head hidden- U-uh.... I guess you're nice too? I like y-your ..... -yanks his head out of the snow and gives Oliver a quick look over before shoving his head back into the drift- Hair. I like your hair. >//////< -always been told to return a compliment with a compliment-
Oliver: *his smile falters just a moment when the wings flutter - they rather ruin the whole image with their lack of red* Oh, my hair? *skillfully feigns bashful laughter* Thank you. What's your name, anyway?
Tassel: -hesitantly lifts his head- Tassel. o//o What is your name, Hair Boy?
Oliver: It's Oliver. It's been... It's been quiet a fantastic gift to meet you, Tassel. *dreamy gaze*
Tassel: ./////////////////. Kay. -stares- ......... Why?
Oliver: *almost too caught up in watching the way the sunlight bounces across Tassel's scales to catch what he says* Oh... Well, I just... *sighs in mild frustration* It's hard to describe. But your pelt... *leans forward as if to attempt to smell/nuzzle/taste Tassel's neck*
Tassel: O___________O;; -not sure what to do- -goes stiff as Oliver get's closer- ..... K-kay.
Oliver: *recoils as if that wasn't quite as satisfying as he imagined... but oh well, it's still pretty to look at* Mmhm... *perfectly content with staring at Tassel's coat despite the awkward silence*
Tassel: ..... -nudges- ..... Do you always meet people like this? -staring at Oliver like he's crazy-
Oliver: *blinks out of his hypnotic state as he's nudged* Huh?... Excuse me?
Tassel: -slower- Do you always meet people like this?
Oliver: *warm chuckle* Of course not~ You're not typical people, after all.
Tassel: -ears perk- I'm not? .... Why do you say that?
Oliver; *blinks* Isn't it obvious by now? Your beauty sets you aside, of course.
Tassel: .... Really? -looks over his shoulder at himself- ..... You think?
Oliver: *scoffs gently and rolls his eyes* No, I was lying that entire time. *nudges him playfully with a grin* Of course.
Tassel: Oh.... I didn't know. |3
Oliver: *admires~*
Tassel: -blushes again-
Oliver: Have you ever... *hesitates, wondering how to phrase his question* Have you ever gotten in a fight before?
Tassel: -shakes head- My dad always said that fighting made people stupid. :3 He knew lots of stupid people when he was young. -smiles- .... o_o Have /you/?
Oliver: *frowns* Oh, I understand... Me? *recalls a memory* Yes... I have once. *his frown deepens* But I'm not strong enough to defend myself.
Tassel: DD8 Do people mess with you?
Oliver: *shakes his head* Not typically. A friend was just very upset with me one time and... Well, I can't quite remember where she sliced me, but I did have a nice gash afterwards. *purses his lips, realizing the conversation is going off topic from where he was trying to steer it* Have you ever been hurt, then?
Tassel: Well... A few times. 83 I tripped once and cut myself on a rock.
Oliver: *eyes widen eagerly* Oh really? Did you bleed? *tilts his head, absolutely looking forward to the answer*
Tassel: >> Yeah. I got a scar too. -nods- But it's a little one.
Oliver: But what- *realizes he's getting over excited and tries to calm himself* ... I'm just curious about the way your blood looks in contrast against your pelt.
Tassel: Oh... Uh.... I guess it's pretty close? -eyes his leg- .... -nods- Yeah... It's close. .... But why? ._.
Oliver: *nods slowly and satisfied with the response - his suspicions confirmed* Oh it's just... *warm smile* Most of the time I have too look deep inside to find the beauty in people. You're exceptional that way.
Tassel: Oh.... Thanks? -confused now- .... ><;; So.... uh... Do you want to play in the snow with me?
Oliver: *frowns as he looks out to the snowscape* Unfortunately, I don't tolerate the cold very well... But I would love it if you would let me watch you play.
Tassel: -blinkblink- Oh... Okay. -crouches down before leaping into a nearby drift- -giggles- x3
Oliver: *settles into a relatively snowless patch and watches Tassel* <333
Tassel: -pronks about happily for a good half hour before finally walking over and plopping down next to Oliver with a wide grin- 83 I'm tired.
Oliver: *smiles at Tassel* So soon?
Tassel: |3 Playing is hard work. -stretches out and rolls over on to his side-
Oliver: I see. *admires~*
Tassel: ....... Why do you like blood so much?
Oliver: *his grin droops* I don't know... It's exciting.
Tassel: -eyes- .... You're not a vampire are you? D8
Oliver: *curious head tilt* What is a vampire?
Tassel: >> My dad said vampires drink blood.
Oliver: Oh, I would never do such a thing! *disgusted look* Blood isn't not nearly as tasty as it is beautiful.
Tassel: Oh..... -not sure what to make of that
Oliver: *admires~*
Tassel: .... -rolls closer-
Oliver: *watches the sun ripple across his scales* <3333 It is too bad winter had to kill all of the roses.
Tassel: -nods- :3 They're tasty. But you have to watch for the thorns.
Oliver: Tasty? *makes a mildly disgusted look*
Tassel: D8 -droops- Y-yeah?
Oliver: I just don't understand why anyone want to eat something so beautiful.
Tassel: D8 I only ate a few....
Oliver: I don't blame you for their disappearance, Tassel. The winter swallowed them all up. But I am told they will return with the spring~ I look forward to that.
Tassel: :3 -nods- I hope so. The snow is fun, but it is cold. -shivers slightly-
Oliver: *nods in agreement*
Tassel: -scoots a bit closer to Oliver, trying to escape to snow free ground-
Oliver: *admires~*
Tassel: -blushes again-
Tassel: You stare a lot.
Oliver: *frowns* Do I? *not sure if this is a bad thing to do or not*
Tassel: Yes. -blush darkens- No one stares at me normally
Oliver: Oh... Well... It is a nice change, isn't it?
Tassel: ... I guess.... It's kinda embarrassing...
Oliver: I know.
Tassel: ... You do? -blinkblink-
Oliver: Your cheeks get redder and redder. That means you're embarrassed, doesn't it?
Tassel: >////< -nods-
