Let's not get too carried away. I still feel like I'm on shaky ground with plain old humanity, some days.
[She wobbles a little, when he alights upon his newly claimed perch, but she stabilizes by the time they hit the stairs, even if the extra weight makes climbing up a little more arduous than it might otherwise have been.]
The sheets aren't top quality or anything, but I grabbed what I thought you'd like for starters.

[In plain view of V himself.]
no subject
[ Oh well. He'll just have to read until the two of you are finished. ]
He's just not that sturdy of a guy, I don't think he should be runnin' around trying to fuck over that ritual.
no subject
[Because he's a squishy summoner.]
At least he'll be more concerned with how to do it, to start with?
no subject
no subject
[A bit dry for the uninitiated, sure, but still important.]
Or are you missing the poetry already?
no subject
[ V interrupts this chatter to be helpful: ]
"About the Dead Man and Medusa."
And it just goes on and on and on and on.
no subject
[Her mind just leaps to the various Medusa mythos, because her instincts are geared in a very specific direction for the sake of her own survival.]
Is it an epic, or is Griffon just being dramatic?
no subject
You keep readin' it over and over! Of course it goes on forever!
[ Griffon flaps his wings in defiance!!! ]
no subject
You could always distract yourself with learning one you like while he does that, you know.
no subject
[ Such a squawking... ]
no subject
[You know, the bard himself.]
no subject
[ And he wants to emulate neither. ]
You seem stressed.
no subject
[But she reaches out and begins gently soothing those clearly ruffled feathers of his.]
V, I think you need a nap.
[Flawless logic.]
no subject
[ Also, how is this scene his doing? ]
no subject
[She hooks her thumb over her shoulder.]
You tell me. Is it snack time or nap time?
no subject
[ Don't even pretend otherwise. ]
Who are you calling bent out of shape?
no subject
[It's a vicious cycle, really.]
no subject
I don't know what you mean.
Why do you think he has anything to do with me?!
[ Wow, you two are idiots. ]
no subject
Wow, I guess you're both getting snacks and naps then.
no subject
[ V just drinks some of his tea. He's clearly being victimized by his friends. ]
no subject
[Notably, she has kept petting the bird through his histrionics.]
You were doomed the minute you crossed my threshold. Want to go see your room?
no subject
[ Top on the list of her goals, surely. V sets aside the cup and rises, looking bemused. ]
Of course.
Dibs on the nerd!
[ By which Griffon means he's riding on her shoulder, thanks. ]
no subject
[She wobbles a little, when he alights upon his newly claimed perch, but she stabilizes by the time they hit the stairs, even if the extra weight makes climbing up a little more arduous than it might otherwise have been.]
The sheets aren't top quality or anything, but I grabbed what I thought you'd like for starters.
[And potion dyed it, but shhh.]
no subject
When do sheets become top quality?
no subject
[Trust her, she is all about soft beds.
She stops in front of his door and it swings open to...
Black. A very black room, with black carpets and bedding and upholstery on the furniture.]
Ta-da.
