key_illusion | [Asgard] IC Contact ♛ (OLD)

[???'s just a bit weirded out, although he's still convince Draco messed up on something. But whatever, back to packing. He'll probably be headed out to go visit his cow once he's done with that.]

[Only a few hours go by before Draco sends another message. That same tone is there, though ??? can probably hear some bubbling in the background, bottles clanking around as a sure sign Draco's working at the apothecary.]

What are you doing now?

[Draco.

Draco.

He's really hoping, from the sounds of bubbling, that this isn't some weird cry for help to stop him from doing something stupid AGAIN.]

On my way to see my cow. What are you doing?

--well now I'm wondering why you still have that cow.

I don't. [Sob, sore spot. So sore.] I gave her to a native to take care of her, but I still visit because she's my friend.

But it's just a cow. [He's the most caring person. Really.]

So? She helps me calm down, and she likes to be by my said. She's simple. [Mentally. It's weird how comforting it is to have a mind that remains stable after he's bombarded it with Telepathy.]

Don't you have a dog?

You can't exactly play fetch with a cow. Osiris is a different case entirely and originally he was Jade's anyway.

...besides, now we have two of them.

No, but who says you need to play fetch with an animal in order to enjoy its company?

Pick up a stray?

I had an owl who used to deliver packages back and forth, and then I adopted Osiris. I think I have a standard now.

...Jade had a dog in her world. Name's Bec. He lives with us now because the gods felt it was necessary to give her a present.

Alright, but I'm completely fine with my cow.

Good for her, I got something too. ...But you don't seem to happy about that.

Let me come with you then.

Of course I'm not happy about it. Do you have any idea how awkward it is to have a dog watch you sleep?

................Uh? [Wait, give him a moment.] Actually, no. I don't. And why...? Aren't you busy?

It's incredibly awkward but he won't leave Jade alone. [Grumblegrumblebitch. But.] I mean. It's my shop. I can kind of come and go as I please.

...And you're sharing a bed. [Kiiiiind of want to get away from this topic now.]

Aren't you making something right now? It sounds like you were.

This isn't anything new. [Poor ???. Draco's just used to this fact.]

Well yes, but Euri can watch it.

Right. [Dodge, dodge, dodge--]

...Fine, but if you make fun of her, I'm going to beat you up. [Because he loves his bro cow very much.]

Meet me over at Loki's House.

Doubt it. I'll meet you there in less than five minutes then.

Okay.

[Ending the feed, ??? will just take a seat on the steps to the House. He's not really sure what to make of Draco today, but something's definitely up. Because he highly doubts Draco is looking to be friends with him.]

[It's a long, long weird explanation, ???. Draco will remember to apologize later but as it stands he's practically zooming across the city to meet the other boy in front of the House, landing gracefully a few feet away before approaching him. He's a lot less uptight now that he has ??? in his line of vision, but he still is giving him a critical stare. Not damaged, right?]

There you are.

[Not damaged, but definitely weirded out. And seeing him move though the sky so fast brings up more question marks. So ??? just gives him a partial nod, not really smiling or trying to react too much, as he gets up from his seat.]

Yup. [He's not saying much more than that for a little while as he immediately moves in the direction of the outer wall.]

So, what's your sudden interest in hanging out with me? [BECAUSE NO ONE REALLY HANGS OUT WITH HIM considering he is entirely antisocial.]

Who says I need an actual sudden interest? [He might look marginally offended even as he continues examining ???] I just wanted to, all right? Get over it.

...If you say so. [No, he can't get over it.

It's a bit of walk to the edge of the district, and the farther they go, the greyer it gets. The only thing ???'s not telling is that he had a teleport placed in the House to get to the outer area, but he prefers walking when it comes to going to his cow.

When they arrive, the house itself looks out of place considering it's the most colorful in the area. It still has some greyness to it, but it's easy to tell that ???'s visited frequently. There's a little barn next to it (it could have been a bigger shed in the past) with a fenced in area, one that's currently being occupied by a brown cow, who has her head draped over the fence. Once she spots ???, she blinks once, nods her head a bit, and moos happily. It seems to work pretty well in cheering up ???, making him smile rather brightly as he picks up his walking speed to join her.

Sorry, Draco, you're being left in the dust.]

[He walks along in silence, not really having much to say but keeping an eye on the other boy and making sure he doesn't suddenly disappear. However he comes to a screeching halt behind ??? once they approach the house and the barn, staring at the cow.

What the Merlin it actually responded to ???'s presence. Aren't cows supposed to be stupid animals?

He slowly approaches, keeping a small distance between him, ??? and the cow. He's mostly monitoring to make sure the cow doesn't go mad and attack, but he's progressively inching closer and closer until he's side by side with ???]

...it. Actually recognizes you.

[It's ???'s turn to look mildly offended as he reaches the fence.]

Of course she does. She's been with me for awhile. [She's rather small for a cow too, but that doesn't matter to either of them. The cow will just nuzzles his hand when ??? reaches out to her, finally moving to sniff at his face afterwards.]

Or, I don't know, maybe she's a magic cow. She's pretty friendly though. [While he's rubbing her neck, the cow turns her head to look at Draco, blinking at him and trying to get a sniff as well.]
