[Aubri's bored.

It's also right around dusk and, in the background, is the sound of rain and thunder rumbling lowly and the occasional flash of lightning. He's grounded and traveling alone, so he's poking at the locket.]

This world has lovely weather.

[He's also grumpy.]

[ :C she doesn't want fried chicken!! ]

Okay. I guess you'd know better than I would.

The concern is touching.

[boutant]

Well.

[ Shrug. ]

Oh- I have something to show you.

[ Let her grab her sketchbook... ]

Do you?

[Waiting patiently, interest piqued.]

[boutant]

Yes.

[ Ta-da. Look, it's a drawing of Aubri himself. c: ]

[Oh, he likes! He perks up, ear tufts forward and beak gaping. (She's going to learn gryphon body language fairly quickly as this rate.)] It's a fair likeness.

[ She is just fine with that. ] Oh, good! I know the details aren't quite exact, but- Do you like it?

Re: video;

I do like it. It's a lovely image.

[boutant]

I'm glad. [ And relieved. ]

You're a good subject to draw.

Re: video;

[bird_brain]

I know. [He's also a vain bird.]

Thank you. It is lovely.

[ Not at all helped by how much Ariadne strokes his feathers, most likely. ]

You're welcome. I can find a way to give it to you, if you'd like.

I need only look in a mirror. Keep it. Hang it somewhere in your new home.

You'll have to come see, once it's up.

Re: video;

[bird_brain]

I will do that. I look forward to it.
