WHO: Davesprite and Rin
WHERE: The streets
WHEN: October 3rd
WARNINGS: see WHO
SUMMARY: birds
FORMAT: quick

[In the process of moving, Davesprite had quickly realized that his material possessions were few. Obviously, the only way to fix that was a bit of retail therapy in the music shop and beyond. What he ends up coming home with is a new camera on his neck (taking to heart Rose's suggestion of picking up photography in his spare time) and an incredible set of DJ headphones, sitting over the camera strap around his neck.

Hopefully nobody at home would ask him how much he spent. Not to say he didn't have the cash, since he hadn't spent a single dime since his arrival outside of recent billpaying, but it'd certainly be an awkward conversation.

He'd gone for a walk through the park and was en route back to his new home, the usual small flock of pigeons and crows following above him. He'd wrangled control of the power for the most part, but it was clear (to him, at least) that it was never meant to be something he had control over. It was just an aura. Luckily, they usually flew high enough that he wouldn't risk bringing them inside any buildings. He's certain he'd wear out his welcome quickly if that misfortune ever fell upon his new roommates.]

H-H-Hey! What are you even implying with that kind of thing?!

[ The raven puffs out a chest in defiance. Look at those beautiful black feathers. Don't you just want to preen them lovingly?! ]

Ugh--you're trying to distract me and I won't have any of it. [ Clearing her throat (obviously not the raven's). ] I doubt that's the truth, but if you say it is, then I have no choice other than to believe you. It'd be troublesome for me to accuse you of lying and then you prove me wrong right after out of pure luck, so I won't give you the chance.

I suppose you're right about one thing. That raven does belong to me. Came back with me from the other world and since then I've been interested in what has happened in the other ones. Right now I'm experimenting what I can do with it and this seems to be a pretty good use of my time.

[He reaches up and scratches the raven behind its neck, under its feathers. Its about as close to preening as one can get when you're only half bird.]

I ain't doing shit. I was on my way home, until you flew into my space.

[He's never been so thankful for this annoying power in his entire two years of being in the City.]

[ A happy raven is... probably a good raven? Who knows?? ]

Well it was drawn to you and refused to listen to me. Maybe you shouldn't be attracting my raven when I'm out doing my own business.

Now you're blaming your attraction to me on the bird? Come on Tohsaka, nobody's even here to hear you confess.

There's plenty of other birds!

[ That's to tsunven. As in the raven is pretty damn tsundere right now. ]

What if they're doing the same thing that I'm doing right now?!

AND WHAT MAKES YOU THINK I'M GOING TO CONFESS ANYTHING?!

[This is too much. She's so easy to rile. He'll just keep up the neck scritches.]

Brosis, its ok, I understand. Its like basic natural instinct, whether you're a bird or not.

[ The raven will try to peck at his fingers now. ]

Can I kill you with this bird, I wonder.

[It doesn't deter him. He'll smooth its feathers back over and stop the scritching for the moment, at least.]

Maybe if you picked a bird of prey instead of an omnivorous scavenger.

[He knows his birds man.]

I didn't pick this one exactly. It came back with me.

[ Which shouldn't seem possible, but it was a thing that happened. ] Probably one of the ones I fought against while transformed into a raven myself.

Suits you.

[Loud. Annoying. In his business. Yup. Sounds like Rin.]

Are you saying that because it's black? [ Completely missing his insult towards her. ]

The fuck? You're not black.

My hair is dark!

[ It flip flops between brown and black between multiple series???? ]

Oh. Yeah, I guess, but I more meant because you get loud and annoying when you're mad.

[He takes a second to put the necklace back on the bird.]

I do not get loud or annoying when I'm mad!

[ Proving that point the best she can through a raven.

... But wait, there's more! In fact, it sounds as if it's in stereo now?! ]

[He flinches a little and holds his head, but he's smirking. He won't push the issue and risk himself a headache.]

So did you actually want something from me aside from my devilish charm?

[ There's a looming shadow behind him as Rin raises her fist while 'sneaking' up on him. ]

There's nothing charming about you!

You're trippin', Tohsaka. You're still hanging around afte--

[He sees that shadow. No way is he letting himself be choked tonight. Instinctively he jumps a few feet forward and spins on his heels, hands spread in case he needs to shift and fly off.]

[ A little bit of choking might do him some good. She misses and turns around on her heels for round two.

Meanwhile the raven never gets involved in this. ]

Around what?!

[This smile shows teeth. Ok so shapeshifting wasn't involved. But...]

Still hangin' around me. Look, I even got you to come over and say "Hey" in the flesh.

I didn't do this because I liked you!

[ Though judging by the looks the pair are getting, the assumption that it's a lovers quarrel might not be too strange to conjure. ]

I was just bored and testing out my new... [ Sulking a bit as she doesn't want it publicly known she's an imPort even though she's talking to the weirdo here. ] Running shoes.
