Greetings. My name is Prince Reyson of the Heron Clan.

As you know, we have trouble lately with the breach. To ensure such a thing does not occur so suddenly, I thought about proposing a part-time perimeter guard of the walls. I think we would be better prepared should anything happen again.

Also, as I know some people were hurt or struggling, you are welcome to see me. I have the power of the galdr which means I can soothe one's spirit, trauma and pain. Should you have need of my abilities, do let me know.

[He's in trouble.]

Just doin' what I could do.

[heron]

You can do things that protects your well-being as well! Perhaps you should keep that in mind before you go running off into danger!

[whenyouneedme]

[??protects??well-being??]

S'fine, s'fine, I've had way worse spills before. This is nothin', promise.

[heron]

[ his wings flare up. ]

Having worse does not make this better! If I were in the same position, would you say that?

[whenyouneedme]

What, if you had harmless scratches and bruises that you'd already gotten checked out? It's not really my place to make judgement calls on if you've had worse or not, y'know.

[You're not the only sass here, buster.]

[heron]

And did you have them checked out?

[whenyouneedme]

[He points at his face.]

These aren't fashion band-aids. Are you gonna have to double check my work?

[heron]

I might have to!

[whenyouneedme]

well I can't exactly stop you, you know where I live.

[heron]

[ reyson scowls. ]

Don't think I won't!

[whenyouneedme]

I feel deeply threatened. I'll have to keep my door open.

[Nevermind the fact that he never kept it locked to begin with.]

[heron]

You should be!

[whenyouneedme]

Oh no. What am I gonna do.

[heron]

Suffer, clearly!

[whenyouneedme]

[Kai snorted.]

Fair enough. Suffering it is.

[heron]

[ reyson huffs, wings fanning out erratically. ]

I will be there shortly to check.

[whenyouneedme]

[Man, he should have been counting how many times those wings had danced in this conversation alone.]

And here I am, too compromised by threats and suffering to even try to lock my door.

[heron]

[ reyson delivers a flat look. ]

Security is no joke.

[whenyouneedme]

[Kai just grinned.]

Mmhmm. Guess I'll see you soon then.

[heron]

[ reyson scowls as he shuts down the connection. ]

[whenyouneedme]

[Someone. Is in trouble. Especially because that someone's door was definitely as unlocked as they had implied it would be.

But hey there was tea on the table in the living room! Wow! And there was Kai! Peeling an orange.]

[heron]

[ REYSON KICKS THE DOOR DOWN



at least in spirit, he'd just break something, but it does feel like a door slammed open. by force of personality. ]

You better not move!

[whenyouneedme]

[A BURST OF FUSS AND FEATHERS

Kai blinks mid-peel, but he!

Doesn't move! (He wasn't going to move anyway.)]

... Can I finish peeling this orange?

[heron]

NO!

[ yes. ]

[whenyouneedme]

[...yes??]

...I mean its mostly done so.

[He peeled it. Come join him, Reyson.]
