1st song [Video]

[Where?... What? Where is she? What is going on? Leanne wakes up in a startled motion and looks around. Wait a minute, why was her clothes there and why is she wearing underwear (AKA the cotton sundress)?! She reaches over to her dress, moving to her knees.... Only to stumble at the action and faceplant a little, her wings flapping with much gusto before returning to their limp state.

Leanne shakily moves herself to a half standing position, reaching up to rub at her face. How long... How long has she been asleep and why can't she hear the trees anymore? She blinks and goes to examine her hands and arms.... They are so long and big! She blinks a few more times before shaking her head, letting out a few bird chirps. No, she can admiring how big she has gotten just yet! First she needs to remaster the technique of walking again!

Okay, one more try! She can do this! She moves to fully stand up, waving a little as she stands. YES! She has gotten the first step, being able to stand again. Now comes the hardest part... Walking. She goes to take one deep breath and moves a foot to take one single step... Only to stumble and fall flat on her face again in a flurry of feathers before the video shuts off.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Yes, that is what a Beorc is.

I never heard of mermaids before but...

[She goes to let out a sigh as she goes to take flight, hovering in the area of Marco. She has forgiven berocs, she has forgiven them for what they have done... Just have to keep telling herself that. It is better this way.]

I wouldn't mind meeting some of them. [Just smile to help clear the body of the poison within.]

Is Beorc an insulting word for humans? Really, they aren't that bad here, eh.

[He offers his arm for a perch.]

Let me carry you. If you haven't eaten for twenty years, it's not safe to fly. And this way you can stay as a bird and see what I mean about people here, eh?

Mermaids are like you, but fish with tails instead wings.

[She blinks and quickly shakes her head.]

No, Beorc is the respectful term for them. It's that other word that is completely crass and deplorable to call them....

[She blinks as he offers his arm and nods her head, shifting once more in order to perch on it.]

It's alright, my lord Marco. But I still thank you.

I really do have to meet one then, if they are still here.

[Ruffling out all feathers, making herself into a little puffball in order to stay somewhat warm.]

It's crass to call them humans? [Have a few blinks, even as he gently moves her closer to his chest to keep her warmer and safe, covering his arms in blue downy feathers to add to the warmth.]

In our worlds, there isn't a word like beorc, so they might get confused. Not that you have to call them humans if you don't want to, but that's what they go by.

And I'm not a lord, eh. I'm a pirate. A commander actually, but still a pirate.

I promise you though, I'll protect you with my life so long as you're with me in the village. No one will hurt you. The humans here aren't that bad. I've wandered around as a phoenix a lot. Heck, half of my human friends I only met as a bird. It took some getting used to, but they really are pretty friendly to non-humans.

It is the worst insult to call them for my clan. The beorcs of our world have just as an offensive term to call my people.

[All of this contact, though necessary, feels so foreign to her after being with just the trees for so long. But goddess, how much warmer it is for her that she couldn't help but to let out a few contented chirps.]

What shall I call you if not that? And I am sorry but I don't think that I can call them that. I cannot disrespect or lower them to that level to call them such.

[She blinks at his promise. Why? Why would he make such a promise to someone he just met? He wasn't even a part of the Hawk or Crow clan.]

Thank you... For everything that you have done for me and all that I can give back to you are my songs. I just wish there is a way to properly repay you. I have my reasons but I will still put my trust in you.

[And at least she isn't heavy at all, in fact she is as light as a feather to carry.]

You can still call them beorcs then, and I'll try to remember too and explain to those I know.

I'm just Marco, eh?

You don't need to repay me. You're the last of your clan...

[And it's something he fears? Something he desperately fears for himself.] But a bird like me. So we should stick together, eh? I wouldn't mind listening to more of your songs though, they're quite beautiful. But I want you to see that you do not have to be as afraid here. At least not of the beorcs, all right? They all have extra wings too!

[Attempts to show her his Luceti wings.] Like that, eh. Are the beorcs in your world the reason you're the last of your clan?

Thank you. It will be alright if you can't remember.

[So much.... She in debt to this strange Laguz so much. She shifts her position on his arm to snuggle in a little, finally giving him the silent permission of all trust issues.]

I shall try then, to call you just that.

[She blinks and gives him a birdie head-tilt his his words. This man.... There were no lies in his words. With this man, what he speaks is true and she will be safe with him. And she sees that fear, muted but still sees it.]

Only if you are certain that my sticking with you won't cause you any burdens or troubles. My songs, whenever you desire them let me know and I shall sing for you. Beorcs... They have wings? How is that possible?

[She blinks as he shifts her and shows her his set of wings....

.....

........ New mission in life. Must find out more about this wings and see if they are real or not.]

...... Yes, yes they are the reason. I can still remember that day as it were yesterday. All that happen on that day, the scents, the screams and all of the sights and all that the trees told me while I slept. But.... I have already forgiven the beorcs. They are already forgiven in my eyes for what has happened on that day.

[He laughs softly.]

It's a pleasure, not a burden. In my world there are only five bird zoans, and most of them would not be able to get along with me. In this place I've met two other phoenixes and it's a great comfort to me in my ways.

Thank you very much Princess Leanne.

[There's a small lump in his throat he tries to swallow when she explains about the memory, and his arms switch completely to wings and burn a little brighter as though to protect her from even that.]

I'm so sorry. You're very brave Princess, but I hope that won't be as necessary here.

I am glad that you are not the only one in this world. It does fill my heart with joy to hear that. I shall have to ask of you of your world and learn more about it.

The one that owes the other thanks if me. [A smile now.] I will be easier to call you by your name if you just call me by mine.

[She blinks as suddenly his arms turn into wings and then the warmth from them intensify. She frowns even in her heron form and couldn't help but to look up at her new protector with compassion and sorrow for the burden of hearing what has happened. Even though it was common knowledge back in her own world. She goes to take a slow deep breath before going to sing for him.

She is sorry for all of the bad feels you are feeling now, Marco.]

Very well, Leanne it is then.

[He grins softly at the song, and the flames die down a little. He's not the forgiving type, but he is a little impressed at how gentle she is.]

Tell you what, I'll tell you about my world if you can teach me some of your songs, eh? Then that way you don't have to sing alone anymore.

[She couldn't help but to giggle a little at how easily he goes along with that small request. She slowly reopens her eyes once the song was done. She goes to look up at him, nudging his cheek and face a little with the tip of her beak.

Are you feeling better, Marco?

Though now at his request she blinks and smiles as warmly as she can.]

I will be glad to teach you some of our songs. I do not think you can use them to their full potential as your are not of my clan but.... I would love to have a singing partner.

That's all right. I don't want to use them for anything other than to help you continue your traditions, eh?

[Grins and happily pets her head. Cutest heron abububu he's okay. Totally.]

Then it shall be my honor and greatest pleasure to teach you all that I know. I am sure that my people will be happy as well.

[She blinks at the head pettings before letting out a small sigh as he appears to be alright again. She shifts once more on his arm and just goes to rest her head against his shoulder.]

Then it's my honor to learn, eh~?

What kind of things do you prefer to eat? Typical heron diet? [Although what might be typical for herons in his world isn't necessarily typical for other herons in other worlds, but he's willing to bet it's mostly similar anyway.]

What kind of food? Nuts and berries and no meat at all. I cannot eat the flesh of another creature. Whatever the forest decides to provide for me and my people.

(You know, normal things that Herons eat at least in her mind.)

All right good, that shouldn't be too hard to find... no fish though?

Not even ffish. If one of my clan eats the flesh of another living being, we can become deathly ill.

(She goes to let out another sigh as she just cuddles closer to Marco, trying to soak in as much warmth as she can from him.)

No fish then. So fruits, veggies, berries, nuts. [Nods his head and holds her close and warm with a mental note to get her blankets and a jacket as soon as possible.] You should also talk to the airbenders here when you get a chance. They have a pretty similar diet I think.

Is grain okay? Rice and the like?

That is correct...

[She blinks a little at his recommendation but doesn't move much. NOT USE TO COLD WEATHER AT ALL! Also, gonna be talking a lot less now.]

Yes... They are okay as well as sweets.

Sweets, okay I'll remember.

[Takes her in the clothing store first and grabs lots of warm things!!]

Are this cute and acceptable? You can ask Keimi to tailor something better fitting later, but for now, this will do. Also you'll need to get an apartment, eh. This weather will get a lot colder in the upcoming months and it's not safe to stay outside.

[She really cannot care where they head first as long as she stays near warmth. She just nods her head at his question.]

Apartment?..... What is that? [She would rather make herself a nest in a tree somewhere.] But where would be a proper place to nest?

[Oh freck it, sleeping again sounds really nice and tempting. She goes to rub at her eyes with a wing, still remaining in her shifted form.]

You can make a nest inside. In a bed. It'll be safer.

[Wraps up in a blanket and keeps warm in a blue wing. Daw.]

[She has officially became a pure white heron puffball in a blanket. But so odd and oh hey! WARMTH! SO MUCH WARMTH! Okay, much easier to stay awake now. Though she does nudges his wing with her beak.]

Is it truly such a bad idea to make a nest outside? [She was more curious then anything and kinda can guess at the answer.] Is there buildings with a few beorcs within them?

It snows. The water gets cold it turns solid and falls from the sky and stacks up. Aye, staying outside in that might make you pretty sick, eh.

If you join CH3, we don't have too many beorcs, and you can always come to me if things get to be too much, okay? I live at the top with my two brothers, and we're away from most of the noisiest hu-- beorcs.

[Well, Ace and Marco themselves are pretty loud, but he means it's a little more secluded away from the shops and the busiest traffic.]

CH3? [Dude, she has no clue as to what you are talking about! But she does smile and nods her head, giggling as he corrects himself at the end.]

That sounds like a place for me to stay in. Until I get use to being around beorcs.

[Resting position is a go again! Though she does want to fly. She is strong enough to fly! Not very far but she still can.]

Who are your brothers?
