✝ 004

[he's been quiet lately due to some recent events and all... and hey, he's keeping that up. Robin can be found in the Orrery, preoccupied with gazing at the giant model of the universe spinning above him. the Stewards have done a pretty good job of fixing most of it. you almost couldn't tell anything had happened.

...bothers him a little. come bother him out of his thoughts, if you want!]

[ He isn't sure how he did it, but he shows up suddenly, out of thing air (he thinks) with the faint sound of steel clashing with steel -- a little flashy he thinks, but hey beggars can't be chooses. And it's not like he choose any of this. ]

Hey.

[ LOOK WHAT I CAN DO. ]

[birdmetaphor.livejournal.com]

[he freezes, spins around, but barely has time to stare before he breaks into a grin.]

Hey. That's a trick.

[slukhtis.livejournal.com]

[ He holds his hands out in front of him, making sure his limbs at still where they are supposed to be before looking over at Robin, grinning right back at him. ]

Something changed, not sure what.

[birdmetaphor.livejournal.com]

Not sure? [he will unashamedly get up in Michael's space, just barely standing a couple of inches in front of him.] Bird's growing new wings, huh?

[slukhtis.livejournal.com]

[ He leans forward, resting his forehead on Robin's and shrugs. ] I want to take them out for a test flight, but they're not quite ready yet. Got a long way to go.

[he practically croons with delight. he missed youuu~]

Haha, a baby bird again. It's been a long time...

But you're old. Why's that happening now?

[heresyandlace.livejournal.com]

[if there is anyone who loves to bother others out of their thoughts, it's this guy. On a wander by--he's been wandering everywhere lately, maybe a little neurotically--a particularly attention-tugging presence alerts him in the Orrery.

So... he peeks on in. Just watching for a minute.]

[birdmetaphor.livejournal.com]

[whether he notices him or... is pretending to have not noticed him, Robin continues looking up at the model of the universe. it would appear as though he's not really looking at it so much as looking in its general direction while he thinks about completely different things.]

[heresyandlace.livejournal.com]

[welp, that's interesting enough to blatantly interrupt. So, he wanders on in-- looking at Robin, looking up at the 'universe' spinning away, then back down]

...Hiding?

[birdmetaphor.livejournal.com]

[he gives him a glance when he wanders in, at least. he tilts his head a little before replying.]

Sure. It's quiet in here.

[heresyandlace.livejournal.com]

Hiding from noise, then?

[he'll continue until his wandering path brings him more or less to Robin's side. And then eyes are back up to the orrery itself, watching it from Robin's vantage point now]

...What do you suppose it's for?

[birdmetaphor.livejournal.com]

[sure, that explanation for his hiding works. he will continue to go with it, not reacting to Tek's being so close.]

Science, I'm sure. It's of no use to me, this universe only vaguely resembles the one I know.

[Guess who used Dog's fantastic sense of smell to hunt him down? :| Yup. She'll peek into the Orrery, and when she spots him she's feeling a little more comfortable.]

Hey!

[She'll head into the room.]

What are you doing in here?

[birdmetaphor.livejournal.com]

[snapping out of his distracted thought? you betcha. he turns around.]

Hey. I was just thinking. ...What are you doing in here?

[actionlaced.livejournal.com]

Dog said you were in here!

[Which isn't really an answer but oh well :D]

[birdmetaphor.livejournal.com]

Does Dog always keep tabs on me?

[yeah that's not an answer at all.]

[actionlaced.livejournal.com]

I don't know. That's a weird thing to ask.

[birdmetaphor.livejournal.com]

No it's not. It's a reasonable conclusion.

[adstringis.livejournal.com]

[She's wandering in with grimoire in one hand and a sandwich in the other. Lunch is delicious, but studying this creation more is even moreso.

She starts to head to a different spot than where she was before, and then catches sight of Robin.]

[birdmetaphor.livejournal.com]

[he takes a moment to notice her. he's just that distracted right now. but when he does, he raises a hand in greeting.]

Hello.

[adstringis.livejournal.com]

[She nods her head as she finishes eating her sandwich, dusting her hand off.]

Yo. What's up?

[birdmetaphor.livejournal.com]

[he scratches the back of his head a little. hrm, what is he doing?]

Not much. Thinking.

[adstringis.livejournal.com]

Thinking for the hell of it, or because something's on your mind?

[challengesworld.livejournal.com]

[There's the quiet sound of footsteps, and Cheriour comes out of the darkness behind Robin, a quiet expression on his face as he gazes up at the universe twirling above him. He had been absent for a while, mostly due to the events surrounding Euri and her shadows. It didn't feel good to lose control. It never did.]

...Pretty, isn't it?

[birdmetaphor.livejournal.com]

[goodness, they're all just angsting about one thing or another, aren't they? Robin looks back to register that it really is Cheriour behind him, but his attention follows the other's gaze back up to the slowly-turning mechanism.]

Yeah. It must have taken ages to put it together.
