Changed to a bird to save what little sanity I have. I was forced back into my mortal form by forces unknown to obey their will. I wait for Apollo to free me.
@Aeakus@SunLitArrows@KisenTeni Acanthis looked from him to the drink and then back. She had never had alcohol even when she was mortal. "A glass of what?" She tilted her head slightly
@KisenTeni@Aeakus@SunLitArrows Nodding, she followed as kisen led them down the hall and they were met by two doors side by side at the back of the house. He opened one and nodded to her then the other and looked to Aken. "This will do fine. Thank you." She smiled slightly.
@KisenTeni@SunLitArrows@Aeakus Blinking, she shook her head. She wanted to say to just give her a blanket near apollo but could practically hear apollo in her head telling her to take the damn room. "... I'll look at it." She said half heartedly and nodded.
@SunLitArrows@Aeakus@KisenTeni Acana looked between them both and met Aeken eye. "I dont need as much sleep as you both." She did but wouldnt demitra to it. She was only just feeling awake with the night hours.
@Aeakus@SunLitArrows Once Aeken looked away so did she and her eyes fell to Apollo a moment before she turned away to look out the window. "They will come for us... we should be ready." She said simply, trying to change the topic off Apollo since she could tell he was ready to now talk about himself.
@SunLitArrows@Aeakus Arcan looked between them, the anger had vanished the instant he stopped playing but she still wanted to get back at the clan for everything they did to her friend. Her eyes fell on Aeken and she stared at him in a very hawk manner, not blinking as she tried to figure out why he
@SunLitArrows@Aeakus "That cannot be true." She glanced around but they weren't at Apollos home or anywhere she knew so finding an instrument for him to use would be difficult here. "If we had something for you to play... you'd see. The music is still in you
@SunLitArrows@Aeakus Meeting apollos eyes then looking down, she couldn't say much since this anger in apollo was something that wasnt there before the clan and she had not seen him the years he was with the clan. It was all very new to her.
@Aeakus@SunLitArrows "Right now, with both of you... it doesnt feel so bad." She admitted which lifted apollos eyes to meet hers. He glanced to Aeken and chuckled to himself before nodding to her and she grinned back in a way that made it apparent she hadn't smiled for many years in human form.
@Aeakus@SunLitArrows "That's kind of you to say." Her eyes scanned over Apollo who had fallen silent and she wondered why she meant so much to him but at the same time assumed it was much the same as he was to her. "Of both of you... to help free me." She didnt know what to say or how to respond in
@Aeakus@SunLitArrows Look at herself in this form. It was refreshing. "It doesnt repulse you?" She remembered what the burns looked like on her family and had they survived she supposed she would feel the same as him but now she only saw it as a sign of the death she witnessed.
@Aeakus@SunLitArrows Willingly in the past though he had never forced her to remain a hawk. He had also not asked her to follow him, she just did so and eventually she grew on him and he depended on her aid. At first he wasnt as pleased by her trailing him. Aeken was giving her a different way to
@Aeakus@SunLitArrows Acan scanned over him as he spoke about beauty in such a different way than she had ever heard in her mortal life. Apollo had never treated her poorly and she held no I'll thoughts over her hawk form, she had never given Apollo a chance to change her mind as she never changed
@Aeakus@SunLitArrows "I am damaged..." she motioned to the scars around her eye as though he was ignoring her outward appearance, something she felt was impossible to do.
@SunLitArrows@Aeakus -somehow I feel someone like me is a bit different." She looked away from him. It didnt help that the burn scars on her skin had left her with low self esteem.
@SunLitArrows@Aeakus Acanthis glanced to Apollo but her eyes returned to and stayed on Aeakus long after he had stopped talking. Telling her life held beauty when all she saw was the murder of her family every time she held this form, it seemed unlikely. "Aeken. Possible as that may be for a myth-
@SunLitArrows@Aeakus "My mortal life was anything but kind. Why would that change?" She couldn't see how any form of her other than the hawk would have any semblance of freedom.
