1st Bark [Action] because who can read anyways journals are useless etc

[dogboy]

[With the influx of New Feathers, no one's probably noticed this boy rolling on the ground trying to bite his wings. In the snow. With only those bare amount of clothes. And failing. S'hard being a human.

Once he finds out he can't though, he's reduced to being cold and miserable and sticking by the edge of the forest near the school because he sees all these humans and does not want to interact with them, so obviously the best way to go about this is to wait until it's not so light outside and then go look for someplace warm. And to stay away from those people. Yes, perfect.

The journal's pretty much abandoned beside the tree he's pressing against in some effort of being warm there is a reason he has never gone any place cold in his canon and that is because he is 1. under-dressed for it and 2. from a tropical island. Good luck trying to talking to him or anything though, because he's pretty distrustful of anything remotely human.]

I guess I'm not as hungry as I thought at was...and besides, everything here is free, so if you ever need food or groceries...well, you won't have to worry about it.

[dogboy]

Oh. Uh, thanks then. I guess. [Whatever let's just. Dig into the sandwich. Yeah. Sneak glances at this kind woman. The only other one who'd helped him was Lady Mathias, but this one was a human..!]

... Hey, about that time freezy thing. Is it like, that exact moment? Like, I'd go back to... [being beat up by that group.] tendingto a few things?

[mythmaker]

It's nothing. Please enjoy. [She pauses, watching him eat and idly tending to her soup.]

I haven't experienced it myself, but yes, that's how I'm told it works. Chien, do you...like to read by any chance?

[dogboy]

[... Reading. He'd spit at the word if he didn't have a delicious sandwich in his mouth. So he just shakes his head, but he'll be quick to explain.]

Don't know what's going on in books. [Can't read, can't write.]

[mythmaker]

Ah, is that so...? [She doesn't want to assume that means he can't read, though, it's a bit vague.] There's a guide I can show you that explains everything, from the wars, to how the stores work, what's happened here...it's very thorough.

[dogboy]

[... Grrrrr. Reading.]

Sounds like a lot to know. I can get by without it though, I'm used to gathering information by word of mouth. [You are looking at a master Azusa.]

[mythmaker]

I see. Well, you'll have no problems then, Chien. If you have any questions, though, you can use that journal to ask.

[dogboy]

Okay. I guess I'll just, uh, ask you. Since-- Since you know a lot. [That was... really hard to say uughhh so embarrassing.]

[mythmaker]

I'll do my best to help you, then, Chien. I'd love to. [She chuckles warmly. He's so cute, not that she'll say it. ♥]

[dogboy]

[Too bad there's none of that sandwich left he'd like to shove it into his mouth to muffle his gratitude.]

Th-thanks, I guess.

[mythmaker]

Anytime, Chien. Now...what else can I do for you...?

[She wonders; he needs clothes, a place to stay...something...]

What would you like to do now?

[dogboy]

[Gosh, she's like a mother.]

Uh, I'm good here--

Cer and Ber! I need to find my brothers! [Oh heavens he's been here enjoying himself and they slipped his mind and he feels awful because they'd never forget him and--]

I've got to go. Sorry, but I need to find them. [Okay he's gonna start to leave now, coldness be damned.]

[mythmaker]

[Oh! He's about to make a dash for it. Azusa stands, but he's way too quick for her. She'll try to yell at him before he gets out the door, though.]

Chien, please wait! There's just one more thing I want you to know.

[dogboy]

[-- Pausing at the door, speak quick because he's jittery.]

What?

[mythmaker]

Please be careful with your wings. If you hurt them, terrible things could happen. [...She can't bring herself to say death.]

[dogboy]

Okay, I will. [Yup he's out of there.]
