An end... and a begining (Galio)

[Lucy]

Timestamp: 4th of Fall, 511AV Time: Evening Lucy was flying around the city to find something to wear or someone. Luna. Images of her appeared and faded away while she was looking at the places they've used to play. She also remembered Galio. Little Galio running around with them. But he is really just a fading image, but Luna is somewhere out there... Actually here. Those memories surprised her. She haven't expected she'll concentrate on something but search for her lost sister when she gets here. It is true, there's no place like home. She tried to forget about past, and don't miss something now. But, in every face she saw her sister. Every person warned her, she'd go trough the same process every time - seeing someone, recognizing him or her as Luna, being happy, getting it's not her, becoming angry on herself. Then she saw someone coming from another corner of the street, a boy. He had brown hair, eyes and... oh, my God, canines! He was Klevic, surely. Canines. That face. That hair. It can't be him. She must be imagining. It wouldn't be the first time since she got here. Canines. After all, there weren't that much Klevics around here. It can't be coincidence. But it's impossible. She looked at him again from the roof. Exactly the same. Even nor he is much older, he was little tiny kid last time she saw him, she knew it was him. There was something in his face... He was slowly approaching. It is him. She was sure now. It was her dead brother, Galio. Just, he were not dead.

Galio turned the corner of the street, head held high and fishing pole in hand. He stopped taking a moment to look up into the air at the sun. He couldn’t stare for more than a second, but the bright warmth he felt across his chest and on his head made it worth it. Continuing on his path to the docks he noticed a bird sitting on the roof of a nearby building. He stopped staring at the bird, even though it seemed strangely familiar. He was no bird watcher, but it didn’t look like one of the native sea birds, not only that but it was pure black. Making note to ask Syllke about it later he continued on his way to the docks. Seeing the bird had brought up an old memory, one that he had thought he had forgotten. His oldest sister Lucy had been a bird, an eagle to be exact. She had white feathers and always was the brave adventurous one of the three siblings, which was ironic that he had been the one to develop wanderlust and traveled. Though with the memory of his sister came the painful memory of her death and the rest of his family. It had all happened in such a rush and he had been so young then that he didn’t really remember much about it. All he could remember was running, with other his sister Luna with him. He didn’t like to think about the past and what had happened. It was better just to forget the bad things right? Sending away the thoughts of doom and gloom he focused on walking. Once he reached the dock he would be able fish all day, and then get Syllke to cook what he caught if he was lucky, or maybe Lena would. So far the only thing he had eaten from Syllke were eels so he was hoping to catch something a bit less snake-like and more fish-like this time.

He looked at her. Now she was sure. It was Galio. She wanted to scream, but just strange sound came out from her beak. She couldn't believe her eyes. She was to happy to stand it. As Lucy was flying down hoping not to scare him or something like that he turned and continued walking, a bit confused. She was aiming to land on his arm, still, she wasn't sure if it's good thing to do, maybe he attack her. She flied around and landed before him. She hoped he'll get at least that she's Klevic, if he doesn't recognize her. Galio would help her to find clothes and then she can turn into human form and talk to him. She raised her wings excitedly trying to get his attention.

Thoughts of fish quickly left his mind as the bird from before landed in front of him. At first Galio was startled by it's sudden reappearance, he dropped his pole and stared at it with confusion and surprise for a few seconds. It took him a few seconds to realize that the bird was raising its wings and moving around, he cracked a smile as it appeared to be dancing. Thinking about what could make a bird do something like this once more realization came to him. “You’re a Kelvic aren’t you?” He looked at the bird, wondering what it looked like in its human form. It’s feathers were black, which was a bit strange though it wasn’t the first strangely colored Kelvic he had seen. Now that the bird was up close he could tell it was an eagle, just like his sister Lucy. With that in mind he started to draw up a mental image of what the eagle looked like in it's other form.

[Lucy]

She kept fooling around until he noticed her. He realized that she's Klevic fast. Though, he still didn't know who she is. Emotions were mixed in her head and she just ignored it. She'll have enough time (and ability, in human form) to cry, laugh and be shocked. Now she needed to make him understand. When Galio asked her if she is Klevic she nodded off. Her eagle head must seem silly nodding off. She flew on his shoulder and pecked his shirt a bit. Will he help her about clothes? She never thought about her brother and sister as about someone who has money, but it's always possible, time passed, he might found good job. But anyways she was planning to share what she has with him. She hid it at forest, few minutes of flying from here, on the tall tree. Just Klevic could find it there, and there weren't that much Klevics around her. Her attention was back to Galio again. She looked at him so she could see did he understand. She wanted to hug him so much that it wasn't normal for Klevic, for animal. Maybe she spent too much time in human form back then with Bryan. She was abnormally thankful to him. If he wasn't so sure she could find Luna and he could go on his own she'd never come here. What happened to him? She looked at Galio again and decided not think anymore. It was a bad habit. At least to her, many peoples terribly missed that.

Galio grinned at the nodding eagle. With that confirmed there was only a few things that he could think of that a Kelvic might need. Those were food, clothes, and water. Judging by the fact that the eagle hadn’t morphed right then and there and had sought someone out he concluded that it didn’t want food or water. Which left clothing, when it flew to his shoulder, albeit startling him at first, it confirmed that it needed clothes. “Okay! I’m a kelvic too, though you might already know that. Since you’re not dying of thirst or falling over dead I can only assume that you need clothing to morph right? Don’t feel bad about needing help, you wouldn’t believe the crazy things I’ve had to do to get clothes, though I would have just morphed instead of trying to ask in your current form.” He gave her another friendly smile before changing his course and heading for the market. He was sure he could find clothes for the Kelvic there, he didn’t mind spending his money either as if he was stuck in his other form and needed it he was sure that someone would help him. With that in mind he continued to walk, already wondering if he should be looking for shirts and jeans or dresses. OOCSorry about the late post, I had some computer problems and they set me back a bit.

[Lucy]

Lucy was happy when she saw that he understood. She used a lot of self-control trying not to morph and hug him or laugh on his words. It would really be nice if she morphed here in the middle of the street. But she could try to kill some animal and make herself clothes... But he has no idea how much is this better. She was flying in circles around him sometimes and from time to time landed on his head which was irritating to him at first, but he started to laugh after a while. She looked at the streets she knew too well, but haven't remembered like this, just waiting for the Market. She really really wanted to let Galio know who is he buying clothes for. Few time she started morphing in air, but she stopped every time, even Galio haven't noticed anything. In the end she calmed down and stood on his arm silently. Could it really be that she's on Galio's arm? It would be terrible if she wakes up on some tree in the middle of the way to Denval. She finally saw the market and got exited again. OOCNo problem, of course.^^

So far the walk had been fun. The eagle was flying around and would land from time to time, but Galio was enjoying it. It was strange, the eagle seemed so familiar, but he knew he had never met the bird before. Maybe they had met while the eagle was in it’s human form? Now at the market Galio glanced around, there were multiple shops and stalls with clothing for sale. Galio grinned at the eagle before speaking. “Okay, now there‘s something you can do in your current form. I need to know if I‘m looking for clothing for a girl and guy. Stay on my right shoulder for girl, or move to my left if you‘re a boy.” He had no intention of checking, so it was much easier for him to just ask. Now that they were at the market the eagle seemed excited, so Galio walked towards a store that had clothing hung outside and inside. Inside he figured he could find something for the eagle to wear and a place for it to morph in privacy.

[Lucy]

When Galio asked she thought about it a bit. She was really not the person for dresses, skirts and things like that. She usually wanted to stay with guard up which was hard in dress. But she lived in Kalinor and Sunbreth, Denval is different place, and she really should try something new. After all it's not even important how will she be dressed, for God sake. Girl. Left arm. Staying here. She needed to take a deep breath and don't do something masochistic after she figured what she was thinking about. She was on Galio's arm - Galio's arm - and she thought about clothing. Who cares if she doesn't like it?

[Galio Keln]

Seeing that the eagle stayed on his left arm Galio assumed that he would be looking for a girl’s clothing. With that in mind he could somewhat understand why the eagle hadn’t morphed right then and there, it was different for girls in his opinion. So over the next few minutes he picked his way through the market, looking for clothes and explaining his situation to any of the store keepers who questioned him about looking for women’s clothing. It was slightly embarrassing, but by the time he had bought everything the telling of it had gotten a lot easier, not only that but he wasn’t as embarrassed about his searching after telling the story. One of the owners had offered to let the eagle use a dressing room to morph and change in as well. Galio stepped inside and laid out everything he had bought inside the room. A linen blouse, an average skirt, the normal things he would usually see a girl wearing around Denval. With that done he stepped outside of the room. “Okay, well everything is in there. If you need anything else let me know once you change back…” He trailed off, giving the eagle an encouraging smile. Not that he was quick to be rid of the bird, it would just be a bit better to not have to carry her around on his shoulder.
