"oh my WORD" Silver cried as everyone came tromping in. "I thought you were gonna pick up one person?" She tucked her wings tightly behind her as everyone filtered through the rooms. I didn't think I was claustrophobic but… She took a deep breath and eased herself out of the socializing until she found a quiet corner in the upstairs lounge where she could listen but not be caught up in everything.
Hush doesn't say anything but she agrees. Who even are these people and why should I tolerate them? She glares at Violet behind her back.
Dash looks up quickly when the door opened again. Hush, Violet, Leo, Cage, check. Friend of Leo, check. Unnaccounted-for, alarming, random, menacing strangers, check. He stares at the three motionlessly as Hush sits down next to him with a breeze.
(good idea, Sil)
Violet finds Ben in the kitchen, and they start to whisper a bit.
Ben runs his hands through his hair and looks over Todd and Sung while glaring.
"Vi…."
She nods, "I know, I know. But I know her. And she is an elemental."
He turns his glare to Violet, but looks away after a moment and starts to gently rub his collar bone.
"Fine. Мой дом большой в любом случае."
Cage turns to Shadow, "who's element?"
“The angry Russian in the kitchen” shadow said
Cage's eyes go wide and he shushes Shadow.
"Shhhh! You'll make him mad!" He whispers.
"He's fire, so don'y mess with him. I think he's in charge, since we're in his house. He's my brother, Beni."
Leo said back “don’t be so rude”
Cage smiles a bit, "though he is Russian and he is in the kitchen… but he's just irritated, not mad."
“Why does she have wings” shadow asked
Leo answered “she is an air elemental just like you”
“Really, finally someone who I could relate to” shadow said
Shadow started walking up the stairs where the other air elemental was
Cage watches as Shadow starts to trudge upstairs. He makes his way towards him and takes his arm.
"Hey, um, you should stay down here for now. Introduce yourself to Ben and maybe grab something to eat. I think Sil wants to be left alone."
(nice save)
“Fine” he said reluctantly he started walking back down the stairs towards the kitchen
Bless you, Cage. Silver silently thanked him as she squeezed herself between a chair and the wall, having found a Russian dictionary of one of Ben's shelves. She wasn't sure why exactly she had grabbed the dictionary, but hopefully it would distract her from getting too anxious and breaking things again. There were just too many people in the house and she could feel them all.
“So your Ben” he said in ben’s direction “ My name is shadow levang”
(poor Sil)
Ben looks over the people, his heart pounding and his eyebrows creased. Violet takes his hand.
"Look, why don't you calm down for a little while. Once everyone is settled and done chattering we can go over plans."
He exhales. "Это звучит хорошо."
He lets go of her hand and weaves through the scattered people to the stairs and heads up, subconsciously looking for his anxious child.
“So your Ben” he said in ben’s direction “ My name is shadow levang”
(Sorry! I saw this late D:)
Ben turns, looking down at Shadow. He glares over him, then nods.
"If you need anything, talk to Violet." He states. And with that he heads up the remaining stairs.
Silver frowned as she tried to pick apart the Romanized Russian words, not really paying attention, but trying to not pay attention to everyone downstairs. She was so focused on being detached, that she didn't realize Ben's energy had moved upstairs.
Shadow headed over to violet he waited for Ben to be out of earshot “why is he so pissed”
Ben spots her wings arched up high and cramped together between an armchair and the wall. He starts to walk towards her, but stops himself and looks at the ground for a moment, only just realizing he had came up here for her. He turns, running a hand through his hair and sighing.
Она может чувствовать их. Она беспокоится Да ладно, Бен, что ты хочешь, когда беспокоишься?
He runs his hands through his hair again.
Просто рука …
(Anxious translates into worried in Russian)
Silver gasped, her head snapping up as Ben's energy spiked and zapped through her senses. "Hey," she said, seeing him tugging his hair. "Too many people for you too?"
Shadow headed over to violet he waited for Ben to be out of earshot “why is he so pissed”
Violet purses her lips together, looking pass Shadow and at the balcony.
"Well, he's not. He's just a bit overwhelmed. I mean, it's not everyday you have 9 kinds in your house who you're trying to hide. I'd be overwhelmed too."
Silver gasped, her head snapping up as Ben's energy spiked and zapped through her senses. "Hey," she said, seeing him tugging his hair. "Too many people for you too?"
He turns around and takes the last few steps towards her, shoving the chair away from her so he could squish in the corner beside her.
"Mmhn." he nods.
Silver hid a smile, adjusting her wings so her left one arced over his head and around him. "Hi." She flipped the dictionary closed to show him the cover. "I found a manual for you."
“Yeah your right” shadow responded
Violet looks back to Shadow and smiles.
"It's fine. He comes across as angry a lot, but he's usually not."
Silver hid a smile, adjusting her wings so her left one arced over his head and around him. "Hi." She flipped the dictionary closed to show him the cover. "I found a manual for you."
Ben rolls his eyes, a grin crossing his face.
"Я не знаю, поможет ли это, но не стесняйтесь попробовать." He teases.
He takes the wing she's put around him and pets it while looking out past the chair.
Silver laughed, squeezing him gently with her wing. "Okay, wait, you have to talk slower." An idea occurred to her and she used her attunement to the air to the build a barrier between them and the others downstairs to hopefully separate Ben and herself from their swirling energy.
He smiles, though still zoned out looking past the chair.
"Okay, fine. Вайолет принес этот словарь сюда." He states, but slower this time.
He continues to stroke her wing, making sure not to ruffle the feathers or hurt them.
(He would probably say Violet's name in English, btw.)
"Something about Violet? I can work with that. Okay… prines etot" she flipped through the dictionary looking for the words.
(Well, or it would at least sound super similar to the English pronunciation)
His smile slowly fades and he blinks, watching the shades of the window on the opposite side of the room.
(he's just zoned)
