☆40☆ [Video/Action for Blackthorn City, backdated a day or so because... yeah uh... yeah]

[tearsofademon]

[So today, from the 'gear of a certain lazy mage, comes a video not of said mage or any member of his menagerie... but of a certain work-a-holic king.

With a Swablu on his head.

Oh, by the looks of things he's trying to get the bird off his head, but every time he tries to swat it off, it just hops and dodges out of the way before settling back down immediately after. I guess it likes Sion's hair.

Of course, most of what the 'gear's microphone is picking up? Ryner's snickering.]

Guess someone really appreciates how much time you put into your hair, Sion.

[Sion looks this way indignantly.] That's not--... [and then he sees the 'gear] Ryner, are you recording this?

[And now the video quickly shifts away as Ryner tries to innocently hide the 'gear behind his back.] Of course not.

[The Swablu, having made itself more comfortable on Sion's head in his moment of distraction, gives a content "Swa~", and then the feed is cut.]

[[ooc: blue is Sion]]

*just giving you a look*

Would you want it sitting on your head?

Action

[tearsofademon]

Well, no, not really, but if it's happy...

Re: Action

[dreamsofahero]

I'm sure it can be content somewhere that isn't on my head.

*"blu~ swablu~" it sure sounds cheerful there, though*

Action

[tearsofademon]

Doesn't mean it wants to.

Re: Action

[dreamsofahero]

Well, unless you're going to volunteer to take it, it may just have to make do without.

Action

[tearsofademon]

You're the one it likes.

Re: Action

[dreamsofahero]

And I'm sure it managed just fine before I came along...

Action

[tearsofademon]

But that's because it had never seen your hair before.

Re: Action

[dreamsofahero]

I fail to see what's so remarkable about it.

*seriously this thing has WAY too good a grip here, defying Sion's efforts to gently pry it off...*

Action

[tearsofademon]

I couldn't tell you either.

Re: Action

[dreamsofahero]

In any case, stop standing there gawking and come help all ready.

Action

[tearsofademon]

But it looks so comfortable there.

Re: Action

[dreamsofahero]

I'm not comfortable with it there.

Action

[tearsofademon]

Well, if it cared about that, it wouldn't have picked your head, I guess...

Re: Action

[dreamsofahero]

Stop arguing and help, Ryner!

Re: Action

[tearsofademon]

Fiiiiine.

[getting up now - and no, he's not going to give you an opportunity to steal his 'gear while he's doing this.]

Re: Action

[dreamsofahero]

*getting the swablu off his head comes first, he can check the 'gear later. :| in any case, reaching to try to pry one of its feet loose...*

Action

[tearsofademon]

[Also reaching to gently try to coax it off of Sion's head...]

Re: Action

[dreamsofahero]

*"Blu! Swablu!" it flaps its wings a bit frantically as Sion's efforts throw it a little off-balance*

Action

[tearsofademon]

Hey, hey, calm down!

[still trying to be gentle here...]

Re: Action

[dreamsofahero]

*"Swa~ Swa~" it's gripping hard with the foot still in Sion's hair*

Get it's other foot loose, Ryner...

Action

[tearsofademon]

I'll try... Easy now.

[attempting that...]

Re: Action

[dreamsofahero]

*it's gripping Sion's hair pretty hard there*

Action

[tearsofademon]

[well, he'd really rather do this gently, so he's not going to try pulling the talon with so much force that it has to open or anything.

gentle tugging as well as rubbing the leg in an attempt to get it to loosen its grip, on the other hand...]

Re: Action

[dreamsofahero]

*if you pulled too hard it'd just end up yanking on Sion's hair, anyway. :| slowly it might be letting go, though, while Sion holds on to its other leg to keep it from grabbing his hair again that way*
