Who: Astralin and you! Where: Meadowlands, on his new farm. What: Astralin needs help setting up his new farm, anyone is welcome to help out. Warnings: None.
Prompts below! If you want to mingle, feel free to make your own prompts.
[Astralin has no shame in admitting he wasn't human -- no one was after him, and trying to take his powers in this world and all. Still, he knows that admitting such things may prove to be difficult for other people, so he's pleasantly surprised to see Ven drop his facade, even if it's momentary. Eyes catching that transformation, and silently noting his new features.
Hemlock indeed.
Astralin doesn't make a changing expression, and in fact, the man leaves a ghost of a smile behind. His eyes giving Ven a once over, but not much more than that. If he was masquerading as a human, then he certainly had some reasons he didn't want to reveal his form. So he didn't want him to stay like that for too long, even if it was interesting.]
How fascinating... A beautiful form, really. Our tyrant stealing other's powers would enjoy stealing your form, I must say.
But ah... Is there a reason you're masquerading as a human?
Tyrant? [This is the first Ven's heard of a tyrant. Is it something from Astralin's world or happening here? If it's his home, then... It leaves Ven unsettled that it's another person with powers, being hunted. Why is this a trend across so many worlds? It bothers him, deeply.
But given he's in a safe space, with someone of equal talent, he doesn't summon the magic back, allowing his natural self out for the time being.]
It's...complicated. Habit, mostly? Since I was a child, my people have been hunted by humanity. It's easier to stay alive if we blend in. We only show our true selves in the safety of our homes. Our safe cities. I know now this place isn't like my kingdom, that I wouldn't be hunted, but it's seemed easier just to continue to blend in, to not set myself apart too much, lest I frighten someone. [Or draw too much attention to himself. Given his telepathy, he really trying to keep a low profile, and keep that power to himself. Just in case.]
