Who: Zelos and Redsworn
What: Zelos is bored, thus people suffer.
Where: Ruby Sanctum
When: Anytime this week
Warnings: Swearing probably

[Zelos had no idea demonic apocalypses could be so...dull.]

[Okay, maybe that was the wrong word for it. But to Zelos, it's felt as though he's done nothing but train, gather supplies and fight demons for the past several months. And what the only village being a complete boondocks and the fact he didn't get along with a lot of the other Sworn- he couldn't help but start to feel a little like he was going nuts from the repetition. Even in Exsilium he had a job, books to read and a roommate to harrass. Not to mention a bed and a shower. This was painful!]

[And unfortunately for the Sworn, Zelos's boredom had a habit of turning on others.]

[So for the people that hang around the Ruby Sanctum, they might be finding themselves to be the victims of pranks and little annoyances. Practicing your fire? It might suddenly flare up a little (never enough to be dangerous- just startling). Sitting under the shade of the tree? You may have to watch out for falling nuts. Set something down and walked away for a bit? Wow, how did it move ten feet into the bush? Or maybe you found your armor has been painted on! Or any other assortment of mostly harmless, but irritating things]

[Or maybe you got lucky and avoided Zelos's pestering. Instead you might just find him sitting by the lake, looking perpetually bored out of his mind.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Well, of course there's always gonna be some improvement with practice. But- it's like any skill or talent! Sometimes it doesn't matter how much you practice, you're always gonna be bad on some level.

[He just gives a practiced little laugh at that. He knows damn well what a terrible marriage looks like - he spent his childhood watching one firsthand. It's one of the reasons he avoids the idea so much.]

[But like hell he'd admit it. Not to someone he doesn't know all that well.]

Maybe. But I still think it'd be awful.

[She'll raise a brow at him. "Yeah but-" is right on the tip of her tongue to argue against it. She isn't sure that she can say there aren't Draenei who are terrible at sex. She also doesn't know if it's just an age deal with them. ...Huh.]

I hear practice helps. It might take a lot of practice but it seems impossible to stay terrible forever.

[Oh Zelos. She'll respond with a small shrug.]

I think I'd stick with kind of gross as opposed to good looking and a person I'd rather beat with a mace.

Sure, maybe if you have centuries to get it down. But humans don't have that long! There's a thirty, forty year window tops before nature starts to work against 'em! [A beat] Granted, that doesn't stop from some people from continuing anyway...

[He trails off, as if thinking back idly on times that are best not mentioned here, before responding back]

Well, it's fine to have different tastes! I mean, unless you're trying to woo me...

[Oh.] That's more understand. I guess I have trouble thinking in a smaller time-frame. Life without ever learning the way sex works properly. How unfair.

[She will try to stare at him blankly, to try and be as unamused as possible. It only lasts a few seconds before she cracks up laughing.]

You say that as though I could ever be subtle and woo someone at the same time!

Life is a cruel, cruel thing. But that's alright, most of us learn just fine.

[He laughs a little at her reaction. Yes good, crack up laughing this sanctum needs more of it]

Hey I don't know your style! Or draenei wooing customs! For all I know you've been giving me bedroom eyes all this time!

I'm going to have to trust you on that mark. I certainly have no intention of finding out.

[She'll settle back to grinning. Oh wow she missed being silly and laughing.]

Trust me, I am far too old for the coy, bedroom eye act. [a beat] Not to mention, even if the age and race wasn't a big deal, you're too short for my tastes.

Whaaat? I'm too short!?

[RUDE. Even if you are well over a foot taller than him]

That's a first! I'm a perfectly fine height!

[It's not her fault you other races are short.]

You're fine for a human! Compared to me though...well...do you even come up to my shoulders?

Sure, when you sit!

[...She'll get a mischievous grin and rest her arm on top of his head.]

Anyone ever tell you that you're the perfect height to be an armrest?

[NO HIS HAIR]

Ha ha, very funny.

[She would be sorry but well...she isn't. His poor hair can endure.]

There's worse things to be compared to. You're not a footrest.

Oh really? Wow. That's so nice of you. I'm touched.

There's a lot more things I could poke fun at you for. Look! You humans are so different from us! You wear those silly things over those..."feet" of yours. You have no tails, no crests or horns.

[He shrugs, as if not even phased.]

Yeah, but at least we can wear so many more colors without clashing with our skin. Tell me, can you guys even wear warm colors without hurting people's eyes?

I can't but there are plenty who can. They simply need to have a skin color closer to Vas's then mine.

...Trust me, blue's not all that flattering with warm colors either.

How many people with blue skin do you know again?

I know people with blue hair! That's close enough!

'Sides, I'm not entirely uncouth- I know the color wheel!

A human with blue hair? You want to comment about Draenei wearing warm colors when you know people with blue hair.

Forget your color wheel. Besides, from what I see everything you wear all stays close to your hair color. Your...weird...bright hair.

[a siiiigh] Not this again. It's not that weird to have humans with that hair color! Or mine! I don't know about humans on this world, but it's perfectly normal where I'm from!

[Well. In Tethe'alla anyway. Sylvarant was a lot tamer with the hair]

I'm fairly sure that I'm more used to seeing night elves with green hair then I am seeing any human with bright red hair. I don't think I've ever seen a human with blue hair. [She shakes her head.]

It's weird.

Vala, my dear lady, you think everything about humans is weird.

[a shrug] What can I say? I'm not around humans a lot.

Does that mean I'm one of your few exposures to what humans are like?

[A beat]

That's...not good.
