Who: Lucia & Vanafindon
What: random encounter
Where: Outside. Sky. Somewhere on the outskirts of The Realm but still close enough.
When: About now. Towards the end of June.
Why: just 'cause. ^_^
It was a rare day. Not from anything in the day itself, though perhaps it was cooler than usual for this time of year. There was some sun, some light clouds; pretty, but nothing remarkable. No what was rare was the single male angelic soaring through the sky.
Rare not so much in that he was male, angelic, or flying ... but rather who he was and that he was flying alone. Vanafindon seldom went anywhere without his twin, and vice versa. Lifting a black tipped paw the single twin rubbed at the back of his head. Maidhfinden's teasing had started to irk him today beyond their usually friendly tease & argue banter. Silly stuff really. Stuff that should not bother him at all. It had nothing to do with him -just usual playful, hormonal male-talk. About Maidh teasing that the female they'd met the other night -Lucia- would be perfect if her coloring was more bold or her stripes more pronounced.
Vana had decked his brother, shouting at him to shut his yap then flown off in a flurry of falling blue wings. He had never been so really angry at his twin before. But he was this time, and it bothered him.
He could not help it... the young adult thought Lucia was perfect now. Just as she was.
Even if he hardly knew her.
Not that he was about to admit that to anyone. Including his twin.

Lucia was actually flying close by where Vana was, happily flapping her wings to let herself soar higher. Right now she was alone, having convinced her daddy to stay home with everyone else, or everyone else that stayed home. Today was too beautiful of a day to stay home, the sun was out, the air was warm and there was a cool breeze blowing about. She loved days like this, and she was so thankful she had wings, because she loved the feel of the warm air rushing through her light colored, striped fur, her silver halo hovering over her head.
Her light green eyes took in everything before she decided to be a little acrobatic, and she started doing graceful twirls about, a happy, beautiful smile on her muzzle. She just felt so happy, she didn't have anyone to worry about, didn't have to worry about any little ones to babysit, no one to watch over, even though she had to beat back the little voice in her head that said that maybe she would enjoy some company.

Turning his head Vana saw perfection ahead of him, soaring in in upward motion to climb in the sky. The soft colors, the gentle pattern, the fluid grace... so light & perfect &... Beautiful...
How long Vanafindon stared at Lucia he would never say. Surely something could not be that lovely?
He shook his peach capped head even as he flapped his blue wings to near the spot he thought he saw the vision. Stupid! Thinking about a girl like this isn't healthy! Now you're imagining seeing her! Just fly on & clear your head!
But something wanted to see whether he had imagined or not and Vana neared, afraid to look again.

Lucia angled her peach colored wings to let her descend somewhat, starting to get a bit tired from her acrobatics, but she did continued to fly about. But something did catch her attention from the corner of her eye and she turned her head, and a bright, beautiful smile lit up her face.
"Hello again Vana!!!" she called out and she turned her body to fly towards him. Don't ask her how she knew it was Vana, something inside just knew it was him.

Something inside him fluttered. Was that his heart? No way! He had only met her once! Vana turned to look at the call, smiling brightly even in his disbelief. She knew who he was! And she was smiling... wow... the most beautiful smile...
Surely he had to be dreaming, right? He would know in a moment, for she was now coming towards him as he flew towards her. The male slowed, spotted tails wagging happily even if she was only a vision as he slowed his speed a little in the hopes she was not.
At least no one was around in case he started talking to his imagination.
"Lucia!! Hello! What a beautiful sight you are for sore eyes!"

Once she was close enough, she stopped her momentum and flapped her wings at a different angle so she could hover in the air, the same smile on her face, her tails swishing about below her, "Hehe, it's so very good to see you again Vana! I don't have many friends outside of my family, I guess I am just happy to see a familair face! How are you, how is your brother and your family?" she asked.

He did the same once he felt the shift of air currents from the female's motions. His imagination was not that good. He could not properly imagine the flow of air Lucia's wings would make, could he. Gotta shake this, Vana!
Later.
Vanafindon hovered across from her, tails wagging wildly & blue eyes dancing happily. Until she mentioned his brother, then everything faltered a moment before shooting right back up. "I'm much better now. Maidh's okay & the family's great." He laughed. "I talked to Ginny, she says both your house family & ours are huge ... so saying Maidh & I are still getting used to it all probably wouldn't be much of a surprise huh?"
please don't have seen the slip! please don't have seen the slip! Vana smiled warmly, never having been so glad to see someone in his entire life. Even if her question made him uncomfortable, it at least proved he was not imagining her. Imagined Lucia would only have asked for him.
Hurriedly he pushed that thought back. But she did know I was me...
"But you... no way you only have a few friends outside your family. I would've thought kitsu all over would be wanting to be your friend."

She didn't notice the slip, but she still smiled at him happily, laughing merrily at what he said, her laughter almost like bells, "My family is big, and it is sometimes hard to keep up with names! Heck, I have been told I am part of the biggest Angelic family in the Realm, I have two other sisters and one really big brother! But I am not too bummed I don't have alot of friends, but I am really happy you are mine!" she said, her smile getting brighter, and if Lucia had paid attention to what she said, she would have blushed over her own words, not realizing she made a slight slip of her own.

The happiness he displayed was not truly a facade as he was intensely happy to see her, just that he wished not to be asked about the truth for he did not want to lie to this female. If she asked, Vana would tell her. He simply preferred if they skirted the issue.
Relief that she did not seem to notice the falter in his happiness shifted to wide eyed wonder at the mention of 3 siblings -nearly unheard of in an angelic family. Strike the nearly. Never been heard of. "Two sisters and a brother?"
Thankfully then, that covered his next slip in his tough, macho, carefree male impression. His cheeks warmed beneath his fur, tinting the light fur from beneath. She's really happy I'm her friend!! Vanafindon felt he was flying too close to the sun. "I'm really happy you're my friend too, Lucia!!"
Avidly wagging tails only confirmed that. And maybe hinted at what more he would not say.

Lucia's smiled seemed to get even brighter when he said that and a gentle blush went across her cheeks. She then circled him slowly, "Yea, two sisters and a brother! For some reason, Mom just had alot of eggs for an Angelic! But I am glad! But where is your brother? I heard twins usually don't go off without each other? Not that I am not glad you are here, I am really happy you are!!" she added quickly, not wanting to offend her friend.

"Wow. One brother's enough for me." although... Vana quickly kicked those thoughts from his mind! As well as he could. He was still young, there was time for such thoughts later. don't blush don't blush don't blush He intoned mentally while smiling and just savoring the feeling Lucia circling gave him.
Blue eyes grayed and wagging tails slowed. She had asked. The single twin could not meet her face. Still there was an odd tingle of delight that she did not call his brother by name though she had known him by his. "eh... Maidh's at home. Or he was when I left. We, ah... well I needed some time away. To cool off."
His eyes flickered to hers, more wanting to see her lovely soft green eyes than wanting to share a glance. His own eyes seemed to show a sad pain, an almost pleading look behind them.

Lucia saw the pain in his eyes and she felt her own pain stinging her heart and she flew a little closer to him, tilting her head, "Are you ok? You didn't get into a fight with him, did you?" she asked gently, silently hoping she wasn't prying, scared he would push her away for being too nosy.

Those eyes... Vana lifted a paw, heart pounding that she was nearing. He held it there, not moving it to touch her muzzle as he was tempted. The twin saw the concern there and it with her gentle voice was almost too much. But Maidhfinden would tease him unmercifully. Carefully he gave Lucia an attempt at a smile. It was not too forced, for just her being there made a smile come to his face. "Yeah. Yeah we did. But I'm okay." His smile brightened & a little of the hurt faded from his eyes. "It got me out here and getting to see you again, so it wasn't all bad."

Lucia knew better then to ask a bunch of questions, having learned early on in her family that most of the time it was quite rude to pry into another person's business or past and to let them tell you if they really wanted to. Well, that she learned from the Audio Morgana when she was a teen.
She blushed again when Vana said that and she smiled, bringing a paw up to rub at her muzzle, looking down shyly, "Well, that is true, and I am glad for that. I really do enjoy your company Vana." she said softly, finally looking back up into his own dark blue eyes.

Does everything she does have to be so darn wonderful? The way he was going it was going to be hard keeping anything from anyone, much less his twin. And of course he was flying too close to the sun inside all over again. she enjoys my company! she enjoys my company!
"Me too. Totally worth having a first fight for." Play fighting did not count and Vana missed the double implication of truth in his words, lost in Lucia's light eyes. "I like you... spending time with you too, Lucia." He had been speaking softly then hastily fixed his slip with a sheepish grin. stupidstupidstupid!!
"Hey, I was thinking..." oh yeah, switch the conversation. smooth. "Maybe I could take you home, when you go. Ginny's been wanting to stop by, but she's not keen on apparating with the eggs too much even though she's pretty sure they're safe. But we could probably bring them over for a visit. What do you think?" And it'd give me an excuse to maybe get to see more of you without anyone being the wiser. Oh, do say I can!
