Two Doves on a Rooftop (Solo)

[Iris Dove]

5 Winter, 510 AV

Iris was in her dove form, rustling her feathers, and settling into the thatched roof of one of the many buildings that lined Zeltiva. Her white dress and other belongings lay in a pile behind her.

Iris began preening her feathers as the wind began to pick up, and she heard a cooing sound overhead. Iris stopped what she was doing, and lifted her tiny dove head a bit so she could look into the sky. It was slightly overcast today- several ominous looking clouds lining the sky, and threatening to unleash rain down upon the world.

But through all of this flew a single tan-dove, casting a long shadow over her form. Coo coo, it kept saying, which translated to 'hello.'

"Hello," Iris called back in dove, as the bird's beady red eyes seemed to spot her and her belongings on the roof top. It swooped down to her, landing by her side on the rooftop.

"Hello," it said again, as Iris began to preen her feathers some more, as the other dove rustled its own. It stepped sideways moving closer to her, as though seeking the warmth of her body.

Uhh... what's he doing? Iris wondered, as she lifted her head to look into the blood-red eyes of the other dove. "You have nice eyes," it cooed.

"Uh... thanks..." Iris said back, shifting her weight uncomfortably, from left to right. Did this dove think she was another of its kind? Was he hitting on her because he intended to mate with her?

"And such beautiful feathers," the dove added, as though it were for good measure.

[Iris Dove]

"Uh... thanks" Iris whispered into the wind as the other dove crept even closer to her, reaching its head out, to start preening her feathers for her!

My what is this thing doing! she wondered, as she felt a little pinch, the dove had pulled an unruly feather out from under her wing.

"Hey, that hurt!" Iris scolded, unfolding her wing and whacking the other dove in its face, trying to fan it out with a swift flap up and down, to make the sting die down.

The male dove didn't seem to notice, or to care, either one. It irritated Iris a bit, because as soon as she put her wing down, he was back to preening her feathers.

Iris stretched her head over and bit the other dove's beak, "knock it off!" she said, as the other dove looked at her, with an amused expression. Iris pulled back, and the dove moved even closer, her right wing up against his left on.

Iris ruffled her feathers, this was getting to be kind of annoying, she thought, as the other dove introduced himself as Kenny. She was not about to give her name out, not to this dove, no sir-ee.

[Iris Dove]

"You know, you're going to get your tail feathers kicked if you don't lay off!" Iris yelled at Kenny, as he moved a little closer, puffing up his feathers to make himself seem larger, and more attractive, but it didn't work on Iris. She wasn't exactly, attracted, to other doves.

Iris glared at him, should she just shift back and get this all over with? she wondered, seriously contemplating it as Kenny began to coo as he nuzzled her cheek feathers with the side of his face, his eyes closed.

Bleh, Iris thought, desperately wanting to vomit or to simply fly away, but knowing inside that turning back into a human should certainly clear a few things up. It should also get Kenny to shut up and fly away as well.

So Iris stood on the rooftop, spreading her wings to the side and changing. Instantly, she looked like a 19 year old human girl. Her orange feet and talons now long legs, her feathers, pale skin, her eyes slightly larger, but still black and beady, her arms outstretched to the sky, her blonde hair covering her bare breasts.

Iris was now standing on the rooftop, her arms outstretched toward the sky, naked. Iris bent over, and threw on the necklace her father had made, and her dress, before staring over at Kenny, who was still nestled into the roof, glancing at her with wide and slightly-frightened looking eyes.

[Iris Dove]

"Whaa...what are you?" Kenny asked as he looked up at her, waving his wings about frantically.

"A kelvic dove," she replied sweetly, her voice sounding like the most melodious of birds. Kenny's eyes widened even more as Iris stared down at him with her black eyes. The wind picked up, and whipped her hair furiously around her. Her blonde hair splayed across her face, and in her mouth. Iris had to pull it away with her hands, and tuck several strands behind her ear to make everything more manageable. She must seem like a wild woman, she thought as Kenny bellowed, "so you ARE a witch! I knew it, I just knew it!" there was a pause as Kenny kicked off the roof and started to rapidly flap his wings, his feathers fanning out. He was now hovering, eye-level with Iris, beak a few inches from her nose.

"It was definitely those eyes that gave it away," Kenny finished. Iris' brow furrowed and her hands turned into tiny fists. Just who did this bird think he was? she wondered, first hitting on her, and now this?

[Iris Dove]

Kenny flew up a little higher and circled above Iris' head. Iris looked up at him, narrowing her eyes, just what was he doing? she wondered as his tan feathers fluttered with the movement of his wings, and the subtle whistling of the wind, swirling around each of their bodies, whipping Iris' hair and dress all around her.

Iris hands were still clenched in fists, and her mouth was shut tight as she looked up at him. Thankfully, it wasn't too sunny or she'd have to shield her eyes.

Just then, Kenny peered down at her and dove for her, screaming, "die you wicked witch!" Iris barely had time to react. She covered her face with her hands as Kenny flew down and began pecking at her arms. "Hey stop it!" she shouted, as Kenny kept pecking her and pecking her. Pulling out tiny arm hairs, and causing her skin to become all scratched and a little bloody. Hopefully it'll heal quickly, she thought, as Kenny shouted, "die you evil being!"

[Iris Dove]

"That's enough!" Iris shouted as she opened her arms, swiftly. She then tugged at her dress, and pulled off her necklace, throwing them into a heap at her side, Kenny had been caught in the dress, and was hurled into the air as Iris shifted again, back into a dove, and flew after him.

Kenny's eyes had shut tight with the shock, and his wings had curled inwards, he was flying straight and to the left, as Iris rammed into him with her beak. "Owwww," he said, as he flew back at her, trying to ram into her as Iris swooped out of the way. "Missed me," she taunted, as Kenny flew after her and grabbed onto one of her tail feathers with her beak.

"Hey!" she shouted as her elevation lowered with the extra weight, and he let go, flying after her again as she soared over the rooftop, around and around in circles. He was chasing her.

Iris flew up all of a sudden, not expecting it, Kenny kept flying in the same direction they had been going, and Iris dove after him. She was going to show him a lesson, even if it killed her.

Twisting his body, Kenny met her with his talons, and the two birds latched onto each other, their talons holding each other together as they swung around and around wildly. Neither of them wanting to let go even if they were going up and down and all around, and growing more and more dizzy. Each one of them wanted to beat the other, one for being rude, one for thinking that the other was a witch. Each of them wanted to see to it that the other was destroyed.

[Iris Dove]

Their talons remained locked for several minutes, and the two doves spun wildly back and forth, locked in a heated battle, reminding Iris of the way she had seen a few hawks fight over their territory in the past; but she wasn't about to back down, she wasn't about to let him win.

They must have looked like a pin spinning around in an invisible sphere, she thought as her black eyes gazed into Kenny's red ones. Her white feathers glistening, as were his tanner ones. "You shall die witch!" Kenny hollered as they swung around one last time before unclenching their talons from one another, each going flying, Iris farther into the sky, spinning wildly, having lost all control over her flight, Kenny crashing into the rooftop, his back to it, wings spread out, eyes shut in pain, but he didn't say anything, or at least, if he had, Iris hadn't heard it, which was a pleasant change of events, if she may be so bold as to think such a thing.

When Iris had finally gained control of her flight, she was hovering several buildings away from the one Kenny had crashed into. She flew back over to him, the wind whistling around her, running through the space in-between her feathers. When she got there, she found him struggling to stand on his own two feet. Instinctually, Iris turned back into a human, and stood naked on the roof top, staring down at him, one hand on her hip, her eyes glinting.

[Iris Dove]

Kenny just looked up at her. Iris walked over to him, bending down to pick him up. She held Kenny in her hands, his right side resting in her right hand, his left side in her left hand. Her thumbs ended at the top of Kenny's wings, closest to his head. Kenny's feathers felt both warm, and soft on her fingertips. "When someone tells you to cut it out, you cut it out next time," Iris said as she walked over to the edge of the roof and let go of Kenny, watched him fall, before flying low, and weakly, as though he really had been hurt, and weaving in and out through the thin air, as though her were drunk.

Iris rubbed her hands together, that takes care of that, she thought, as she walked back to her clothes and slipped into her dress and her shoes, picking up her bag and slinging it over her shoulder. She supposed she wouldn't be the one to kill Kenny after all.
