[princeofwhores]

[His Highness and supreme ruler of Tel Maran, crown prince of the Dal'Anor Empire; the Emerald Prince himself is looking.... rather terrible.

In fact, he's not been seen for quite some time, and when he's finally stepping out of his room, he looks a lot thinner. The prince appears sickly and tried, and he walks like he's in his own world, taking a break once before the stairs to catch his breath.

So how about them curses? They tend to suck.]

[I bet the thing that the prince really needs right now is a moth fluttering around his head, doesn't he?

because that's what he gets.]

[princeofwhores]

[Well, crap. He tries waving her away, but the movement just brings him more pain. Insects are gross =/ ]

[wingdust]

[whoooa careful there, buddy. She flutters erratically for a second, before... hey. She notices a bunch of maaaagic coming from something on his wrist.

So, after he waves at her, the moth follows the hand with the fancy bracer back to him, circling that instead. wheee~]

[princeofwhores]

[He sinks down a little against the wall and coughs, covering his mouth with his hand and making a face when it is full of black goo. Noticing that the insect is still around, annoyingly fluttering around his wrist.]

You are a fortunate pest, to not know this pain.

[wingdust]

[oh... that makes her sad.

not that this fact is really apparent, aside from the fact that she tries to come to rest, perching on his bracer]

[princeofwhores]

[He leaves her be, because even if she's a gross bug he doesn't have the strength (or heart) to swat her away.]

[wingdust]

[well, at some random point a few minutes later, that gross bug gets a whole lot bigger.

without thought or reason behind it, the moth is suddenly a moth girl, appearing out of thin air at his wrist and landing soundlessly on the ground right beside him]

[princeofwhores]

[EWW EWWW EWWWWWW... awww. She is so cute!]

What in the name of the sands...?

[wingdust]

[she just blinks at him with her big glittery black eyes and looks confused, because that question did not make sense at all. What sand? There wasn't any sand here that she's seen]

[princeofwhores]

You are adorable...

[Can he pet you, Dusty? He wants to.]

majid stop being so cute gfdjhk

[wingdust]

[oh, compliments are good! she smiles at him. :D]

XD

[princeofwhores]

[He's going to pet her so much if she allows him. Fluffy~]

[wingdust]

[as long as he doesn't ruffle her antennae, she just becomes a pile of giggles, wiggling in place like he's tickling her.

he'll end up with a bunch of pearlescent dust on his hand, and she'll look a little scruffy, but she doesn't seem to mind at all]

[princeofwhores]

[Majid looks at his hand, amused at the dust. Patting her shoulder a little, the pained prince sighs.]<

You're a lot prettier like this.

[wingdust]

[she'd noticed the fact that he seemed to be in pain before... but right now, she's very preoccupied at being called pretty~

She looks down at herself, and then back up at him with a wide smile]

[princeofwhores]

[dsfsdffdg he's dying of cute, here. Well, mostly curse. But still a lot of cute.]

...what is your name?

/chokes on coffee

[wingdust]

[ohh, so many people have asked her this lately, she's getting good at answering. Balancing on one foot, she kicks up the one that has the little wooden tag with 'Dusty' hanging from it]

hehe ♥

[princeofwhores]

[He smiles as he reads it, and then wipes some cold sweat off his forehead.]

...Dusty. That suits you.

[wingdust]

[oh... and that's when her attention is pulled to the sweat on his brow, his expression, and she remembers that there's something wrong with him.

Her smile falls, and changes to one of concern. :< ]

[princeofwhores]

...we are alright.

[She was too cute to worry, dammit.]

[wingdust]

[she doesn't look like she believes him. :< ]

[princeofwhores]

[He'll just... try to pet her again. It helped block out part of the agony.]

[wingdust]

[oh, well that works for her too. going right back to smiling; this is close enough to helping, right?

and in the meantime, her attention gets pulled to his cool magic bracer again, and she reaches for it]

[princeofwhores]

[It's making him feel a little better, at least. But when she reaches for his bracer, the prince moves it away.]

That is not a toy. It is dangerous magic.

[wingdust]

[oh, 'dangerous' and 'magic' are two concepts that she understands very well, especially when put together like that.

She looks up at him with wide eyes as she takes her hand back, curious and expectant. The look of a child waiting for an explanation]
