Open Walking the Streets (Open)

[Jesslyn Skyglow]

Jesslyn listened as the window opened and the sound of wings fluttered off. A frown played at her lips but Jesslyn shrugged, "I guess it got too hot for it too." Jesslyn yawned and started to strip as she stumbled to the bed. Leaving on her undergarment's Jesslyn flopped under the covers. Sleep took a little while for her to find because the silence was slowly starting the creep up on her. At what seemed like five minutes Jesslyn shot up in bed. A small scream let loose from her mouth as her hands sought for Sylvia's necklace. Finding it Jesslyn slowly breathed in and out. Turning quickly Jesslyn let her feet touch the ground and she patted them on the floor to see where she was going. Finding her pants Jesslyn slipped them on and quickly rushed to her hearth. Poking at the stile hot embers with a stick she moved them closer and set some dry wood on top. It would take a while for the flame to take so Jesslyn dragged a chair to the small warmth and sat. After a while the flame built up and Jesslyn was able to put a kettle on. What she needed right now was warmth. While listening to the fire Jesslyn listened to the people who just started to get up. "How long was I asleep..." She mumbled. A shiver ran along Jesslyn's back as she realized her window was still open. Sigh she got up to go close it when her sight picked up on a shape on the other side of the door. It was just past her vision and blurry. Jesslyn moved closer and patted her foot to pick up on the shape. It appeared to be a small... woman? Yes that was a woman. Forgetting that she didn't have a shirt and only her undergarments and pants Jesslyn opened the door, "Yes?" She questioned with a smile.

[Avis]

Avis got rather nervous. Maybe she shouldn't have come. But... It was indeed too late now. How to answer? How to answer? Avis's brain searched itself and couldn't find anything, so it went on auto pilot and blurted out the stupidest thing possible:
"I'm a Kelvic."
Wow, good answer. Avis basically facepalmed herself inside. Her face got red and her eyes darted around urgently, at least quicker than usual.
"Uhh, nevermind, um, my name's Avis and I... um... I was at your house last night."
Her nails dug into her palm's skin as they were clamped shut. Gosh, that came out wrong. She coughed as Jesslyn just stared at her.
"Um... The - the sparrow..." She halfheartedly whispered.
"No...? Umm... Ok.. Sorry, I'll just be leaving then..." Avis turned on her heels, about to slap herself from how daft she was for attempting to come.

[Jesslyn Skyglow]

There was a silence coming from the woman and Jesslyn began to frown until the woman quickly blurted out, "I'm a Kelvic." Jesslyn's smile widened. Jesslyn loved Kelvics, they were so... awkward. And this one proved it. "Uhh, nevermind, um, my name's Avis and I... um... I was at your house last night." Jesslyn blinked a little and then her smile winded, 'Ahhh, so the little bird.' The small whisper that followed confirmed her thoughts. 'A sparrow? Isn't it too cold for a sp..' Jesslyn thoughts were cut short when the Kelvic started to walk away. After quickly setting her foot down to find the woman Jesslyn's hand shot out. "Hey! No it's fine! Come inside! It's too cold for you to be out here anyway." Jesslyn blushed a little but kept a firm, friendly grip on the woman's arm.

[Avis]

"Uhmm... ok..." Avis twitched a bit, she felt so strange, like she should transform now and get this awkwardness over with. She couldn't though, she was wearing clothes, and she might as well get to know the girl now.
Soon they were in the warm interior of the house, and everything looked just as it had before.
"It's so weird seeing it from this perspective..." Avis laughed shyly. She felt like she had been invading last night. "I mean... You didn't mind me being here last night? Right? I.. um... was just kinda looking for someone to talk to..." She gave a weak, strained smile and her fave blushed a violent magenta color. She felt soooooo awkward. She was not good around people. She looked around the room desperately for a subject.
"Uhm, so I see you paint! That's cool! I like drawing." She said, trying to be social.

[Jesslyn Skyglow]

OOCSorry been busy. Jesslyn listened to the little sparrow as she spurted short broken sentences and then desperately tried to look for something to start a conversation. All the while Jesslyn was shuffling around the room looking for her shirt. "Uhm, so I see you paint! That's cool! I like drawing." " I am a Skyglow... it's pretty common." Jesslyn huffed out as her eyebrows furrowed, "Have you seen a white shirt? I was wearing it yesterday and now I can't seem to find it." While Jesslyn glowered at her supplies of art the kettle started going off. Startling her out of her glower Jesslyn quickly shuffled her way to the hot water. Carefully taking it off the fire and setting it on the hearth she moved to her small supplies of food and grabbed a container that was labeled Oats. Carefully padding her way to her art supplies she grabbed two bowls that didn't feel like they had paint in them and moved back to the hearth. As she set them down she turned to the last place Avis's voice was, "Umm, would you like some plain oats? I mean it's not much but it works right?

[Avis]

"Sure! Thanks! I'll eat basically anything!" Avis chirped. She relaxed slightly. "So! A white shirt... Let's see here..."
Avis scoured the table for the shirt and lifted up a few canvases to see if it was under them. She lifted up a very pretty reddish, pinkish fuzzy - looking painting and found it, although the paint had made a small pink smudge on it.
"This must be it... Right?" Avis held the shirt out to Jesslyn for her to take it. Avis looked around the house, getting a better look of the place then she had before. It was almost as she remembered it... Warm and bright, with streams of light (Now golden sunlight, not the faint starlight of the previous night.) Filtering through the shudders.
"Your house is very nice," Avis commented.

[Jesslyn Skyglow]

Jesslyn set the bowls up and bored some water in before adding the oats and adding the rest of the water. It took patience and trial. Having the put her finger close to the hot water without touching it proved to be difficult as always. Picking up a random paint brush and using the wooden end she stirred the poredge until it was thick enough to use you fingers. "Here." Jesslyn said the same time Avis called out, "...Right." Jesslyn gave a small laugh and set down her bowl. Grabbing the shirt she handed Avis her bowl. Jesslyn pulled the shirt over her head just as Avis commented on her house. Struggling to get it on Jesslyn huffed, "Yeah, it's nice. But it's messy. There's paint everywhere.... except the main area and the hearth, that is." Jesslyn pulled her shirt the rest of the way down and did a little happy dance. Sitting down on the floor she searched for her bowl. Finally finding it she sat cross legged and leaned against the hearth. The fire keeping her back warm.

[Avis]

Avis gingerly took the bowl and thanked Jesslyn. She sat down next to her by the hearth and enjoyed the warmth while savoring the delicious oats. The nice texture warmed up her insides and tasted better than any oats than she had before. This might have been due to the fact that she had been beginning to starve, but... None the less, they tasted amazing.
"I like it, even if it is messy. It's a beautiful mess, like a bird's nest or a rabbit's burrow... Almost like life sometimes." Avis took another spoonful of oats and stared contently at everything in the room. The fire crackled and popped as the two girls sat eating in silence. She swallowed her oats and paused, thinking for a moment.
"Full of color, warmth, and life... You've got yourself a good home." Avis sighed. How long had she been traveling...? She rubbed her temples and set the bowl down in her lap. Avis couldn't even remember the last time she had been in a house since last night.

[Jesslyn Skyglow]

They ate in silence but they ate while Jesslyn held a full smile, making it a little hard to eat. Jesslyn liked this Kelvic, she was quiet but seemed full of life. "Full of color, warmth, and life... You've got yourself a good home." Jesslyn nodded and then frowned when the only sound of eating was coming from her. "While it's a good home the people never really see the inside." Jesslyn shrugged, "And do you not like it? I mean it's not much and is probably a little old but if you don't like it I can find something else for you to eat." Jesslyn's eye's couldn't show worry but her face showed a small amount of distress. Jesslyn set down her empty bowl and started to get up. 'I really don't think I have much else... Frost I knew I needed to go to the market.'

[Avis]

"Oh, don't worry!" Avis smiled. "They're wonderful."
She slurped the last out of the bowl.
"Thank you so much. Since you let me in your home, after we go to the market, would you want to have lunch at mine?" Avis stood up, put the bowl gently on the table and picked up her pack. It weighed heavily and familiarly on her shoulders. Avis fingered the pocket where she kept her money. It was still there, and she sighed releif.
"So, if you need to go to market, that's great, because I actually do, too. We can go whenever you're ready!"
