what am i supposed to say when i'm all choked up that you're okay?
๐ โ Meikai
@great-sorcerer.bsky.social
โ Please, always remain who you are. โ Let nothing stain you,
meikai let the silent connection in this moment remain, he felt no need to say a word- as everything seemed to be understood already. the wizard, pushing his fingers through the dark locks of short hair, tilt his head as a smile shows soft on his lips. eyes squint just a bit, shoulders give one
He is glowing, he is blooming, the hand on his head makes him perk up. A peaceful silence as he stares at the wizard, albeit he's still occasionally confused by him, hans doesn't miss the understanding and approval, and that is enough to make him smile.
you are the moon and stars; the reason people fall in love with the night.
placing a hand ever-so-gentle atop the head of @diseasedflowers.bsky.social and giving a slight- approving nod. no words shared, just an understand based on the look in the wizards eyes.
โ they?โ th- oh! the flowers, perhaps? โ he slowly crouch, a slight resistance in his knees, and get closer to the flowers closest to him; extending a gentle hand and โ patting one ever-so-light. โ pleased, truly, โ he speaks to the plant, encouraging hans by engaging in the others passion!
rising up from where he was crouched, he seems to perk up at the compliment to his garden. a slight sparkle appears in his eyes, and a small smile shows itself. the vibe seems to lighten up, he truly cherishes his garden. โ oh! well, thanks! i am pretty proud of it. oh, they say also thanks. โ
the man watches as he is studied and circled, no sense of unease washed over him- instead meikai clasp his hands together and nod along with the speaking and ultimately the question posed in his direction. โ i would say! โจ i am โ THE great wizard. merlin? what a beautiful nameโ rolls off nicely! โ
"A wizard, you say..." He paces side to side, studying Meikai like a raptor encircling preyโ-equal parts intrigue and animosity. He smiles. "My name is Merlin, I am a druid. ... I don't meet many sorcerers, this is rather exciting. Are you particularly talented?"
the reaction he originally sought was a positive one, and that was exactly what he got- at least, in his own eyes. a slight tilt of his head to the side as a subtle smile appears. shoulders nudging up a tad. โ yesโ hello! and good evening. a beautiful garden you have here, you must be proud ^^ โ
he was tending to the flowers in his garden when his head was tapped. he's rather confused, and turning around to look back at the wizard. slowly blinking, and his head tilts. โ oh, hi again? โ
if one thing screamed fatherly attention, it was a persistent approach, aimed directly at @diseasedflowers.bsky.social the wizard lightly taps hans atop the head with the very end of his staff, a soft and almost approving action.
that suddenness was frightening! it made meikaiโs ears wiggle just a tad. his smile that was once just a formality of politeness took on a broadened form. โ i am a wizardโ! โ he beams- a slight chirp in his voice, and it remains as he continues. โ my name is meikai, i am the sorcerer of the sea โจ โ
Finally something that piques his interest. His eyes light up almost immediately, tracing the line of stars. His head snaps up abruptly. "Are you a mage of some sort... What did you say your name was again?"
โ โ lost ยฟ no, no. not at all! i think. ๐ง i have no real destination or path i am following around here, so i suppose i am wandering aimlessly. for the time-being. โจ โ he gestures calmly around himself with a hand, a single line trail of twinkling stars left in the wake.
Yep, certified fool. He covers his face with his palm in second-hand embarassment. Should this one really be left unattended...? Merlin does not smile back. "You're not lost are you?"
โ i figured it was the same as staring at the moonโ ๐ โ he reminisces for a moment about the moon, how lovely she is! but in the end he spreads his fingers and peers through the gaps to see his new company. offering quite a gentle smile.
"Yes... You do. Which is why you shouldn't be staring right into the sun. That's a waste of perfectly good retinas~" He rolls his eyes. This guy seems a bit airheaded, but it's not as though that's a bad thing... Necessarily.
surprised! he calmly raises his hands and in a childish way he covers his eyesโ head shaking in a curt manner. โ oh no, no thank youโ i need them to seeโ๏ธโ
"If you don't want your eyes, I'll take them."
made of stardust and magical things.
i heard music in the words you were saying.
meikai can pick up when his presence has become one of unease to another, yet he feels this man needs the attention deep down. so he persist, lowering his head in a slight bow. eyes flicker along the frame before returning to gaze directly at hans- taking in the features, the subtle twitch of
he has noticed the magical item -- how could he not when it was in plain sight. however, he makes no mention of it, nor seems to be bothered by it! however, now he's growing suspicious... genuine kindness is not what he's used to receiving, and it's what he mostly prefers to not receive. but this
such * late hours, the old man is not use to being up right now.. ๐ง
the fatherly wizard examines hans from afar, his eyes filled with a gentle and mannered nature. he offers a wave in return with his free hand, while swiping his staff behind himself with the other; afraid the view of the magical item could cause stress or worry. a polite nod is granted in hans way.
is he aware he's about to be a victim to parental affection he's never received? no he is not. much, he is rather confused and unsure of what to do when approached with such gentle energy. an expression of perplexity on his face and he offers an awkward wave.
โ dad seeking dads to embark on mission. โจ
- โ the first victim of fatherly affection happens to be hansโ๏ธas meikai happens to be staring at @diseasedflowers.bsky.social with the gentlest of smiles. he seems to see the inner pains, and attempts to โ ease with a gentle expression and approach. ๐ซถ
โ gentle tapping of fingers against staff, looking out at a newer world never experienced before. ๐ง better late than * never.
