♛ "Grrr, will you just hold still! Wait. Where are you-" A bang and several crashes were followed by a loud screech. "Oh no you don't!"
Choly had put her arms to use in trying to subdue the temperamental bird successfully cutting off his escape attempt, which only seemed to irritate the loftwing all the more. The laguz couldn't have cared less, goddesses forbid she let her mount leave their home looking like that. The beasts russet feathers were stained black in places, courtesy of the ink pot her father had left lying around. Choly hoped it wasn't the expensive stuff. It had already been a set rule that there were no loftwings allowed inside the home, it was small enough as it was without feathered-fiend in the mix.
"Ow!" Amidst her thinking Russo had taken ample advantage of the situation and pecked the girls arm through the fabric. Finally free, Russo wasted no time in making a quick exit out the opened door and taking off into the sky, leaving his rider to slip a hand from her sleeves to assess the reddened skin. Choly stifled the exasperated sigh that desperately wanted out.
These quarrels weren't an uncommon event for the two, though Choly had to admit she was at fault this time around. After all, she had coerced her companion into entering the building in the first place. Either way, her efforts in attempting to wash the substance from his feathers hadn't settled well with Russo.
And what made matters worse? Choly would not have to likely spend the rest of the day hunting for her runaway mount. "I knew this day would be bad," she cried exasperatedly. "Ever since I landed face first out of bed." Her poor nose still ached from that too. Gathering her wits the laguz adjusted her hood to it's usual position and sluggishly left the house and started off down the word path, fully aware of how difficult it would be to find Russo with two feet planted firmly on the ground. If she was lucky maybe someone around town caught sight of him.
"Nya...better get started." Her voice held no amount of enthusiasm, riddled with hesitation more so than anything else. Once more she started to ponder the odd relationship she held with her loftwing. It really took the whole cat and bird dynamic to a whole new level. |

Lilac was delivering the mail to Skyloft. His home of so long looked just the same as usual. He stuffed the letters into the mailbox he'd built on the east end of Skyloft. Lilac decided to sit down in the shade, lay his wings back and gaze up at the beautiful sky. "Ahhh... home." he moaned happily, curiosity making images and shapes out of the clouds in his head, making up stories about them. His imagination running wild in the clouds, he began to nod off to sleep. SCRAWK SCRAWK
Lilac's almost nap was abruptly prevented by the loud squawking of a Loftwing flapping it's way away from it's owner. What? Lilac thought to himself, getting up off of the floor to investigate the strange event. Loftwings never run away from their riders... right? His internal monologue continued, as he curiosity in the matter grew, and grew to larger proportions. He kept track of the birds direction, turning the opposite way to see if he could spot its rider. "Anyone lose a Loftwing?" he shouted out in the opposite direction of the flustered bird's flight path. @choly

♛ Choly didn't seem the least bit motivated in her search, if her rambling pace was anything to go by. Shoulders slumped she kicked absentmindedly at the dirt path as she wandered in what she assumed to be the right direction to take. She fully intended to apologise to Russo, whenever she found him that is. But the bird coulf be so darn stubborn when he felt like it. It grated on her nerves yes but she could never be truly angr at him. Annoyed and agrivated yes, not angry. The two had spent several years in one another's company after all, their bond wasn't as perfect as other riders and their loftwings but it was there all the same.
Her cloth-covered ears perked up when they caught a shout from ahead. Looking up she hoped to see the familiar brown-feathered loftwing maybe stirring up trouble nearby but no luck. Although, she did see a familiar face. "A-ah! Lilac?" The cat laguz sped up her pace a little to faster reach the male. "You say you saw a loftwing?" Choly pressed her 'paw's' together before her in some kind of prayer. "It's most likely Russo." More like most definitely. "Do you know which way he went?"
Her determination had been rekindled somewhat knowing that he'd been spotted so early on in the day. Most wouldn't take a second glance at an airbourne loftwing. Just maybe the rest of her day wouldn't be spent chasing feathered tails. |

Lilac smiled at the hooded Laguz female. "Yeah, I saw which way he went. I'll send Sweft ahead after him, and we'll follow along." Lilac said as he signalled to his Loftwing to follow after the distressed looking Loftwing far off in the distance, flapping just above the ground after them, staying on pace with Choly. "So Choly, you mind explaining to me what just happened?" Lilac asked, curious as to why Russo would be flapping away with such a flustered scarcity about him.
Lilac was also interested in how one of his friends was doing, as Choly would have been a first or second year squire at the Knight's Academy when Lilac left it. He wondered how most of the people on Skyloft had been, but he usually sees them on his weeklies. As far as Lilac remembered, not once had he had to deliver mail to Choly on his rounds, so he hadn't seen her since he'd become a postman. "Oh, and how are you going?" He said with a friendly and curious smile.

♛ It was a relief to know she wouldn't be undergoing her search alone she supposed, though she was still swamped with apprehension. As per usual when she and her companion ended on bad terms. She'd likely be at the end of her wits until they made up. "Ah..." The girl fumbled. "Well, he flapped around indoors and got ink on his feathers." Russo's inner narcissist refused to obey her at all once that happened. "Rus got peeved and took off when I tried to clean him."
Choly rubbed the back of her head sheepishly and shuffled a foot awkwardly. She was familiar with Lilac true enough, though since leaving the academy and taking up an occupation of his own the few encounters became even fewer. Even so it was nice to see a familiar face. Her gaze darted skyward, mindful of the other loftwing gliding a distance ahead. Having eyes in the sky would be useful indeed. "Thanks for offering to help." The girl resumed her walking with the assumption her fellow laguz would follow.
"Things are pretty...um," she pondered for a moment before answering. "Normal? I guess." A small laugh escaped her lips as she held her arms in a hapless shrug. "As you can see." Like before, eyes took periodic glances away from Lilac to assess her surroundings in the hope she'd catch sight of russet plumage, but to no avail. "I haven't seen you much. You must be pretty busy nowadays huh?" |

Lilac listened politely to his friends explanation as to why the bird had 'run' away, while scanning the sky for any more sightings of either Sweft or Russo. "So, he got dirty, and ran away when you tried to clean him?" Lilac asked with a curious look. "No offense, but isn't that more of a cat thing to do? Running away from a bath?" Lilac hoped that his meaning in that wasn't misconstrued as some kind of prejudice against those people who are of the feline kind, but he also was quite appeased by this information. The thought of a Loftwing actually running away from it's partner was a scary one. Lilac hated thinking about that, if it ever happened to him, he wouldn't know what to do. So, hearing that it was just a misunderstanding over some ruffled and wet feathers, he set aside his worries and tried to get back to holding conversation while searching.
Choly rubbed her head sheepishly and thanked him for helping, which made Lilac smile, if that was even visible to others with his having a beak that usually completely obscured the mouth hidden beneath it. "Really, it's nothing. I'm glad to help a friend out." He said as he resumed following along with the girl. She then answered his question from earlier, about how she was doing. She gave a pretty vague answer, stating that it's just 'Normal' as she guessed, but that seemed to be the case anyway, so Lilac happily went along with that. "Good to hear that, I'm happy that you're doing well." He said, before she mentioned not having seen him in a while. Something about him being busy. "Yeah, sorry about that." He gave an apologetic smile, as he scratched the back of his head awkwardly. "It's funny actually... I come to this place once a week to deliver mail and catch up, and there are still people and places I haven't seen since I left." He laughed awkwardly, before snapping his attention back to the search, as to avoid awkwardness.
OOC: Sorry it took so long @choly
