Shade chuckled a bit at the question.
"It depends on the circumstances, really, but you would not be the first." More like it depended on his mood. But she was in good company among people who had been grabbed without warning.
Her assessment that he wouldn't have taken well to her just flying away was accurate. He really wasn't a fan of people just bailing on him when he was talking to them, even if he was the one who forcibly initiated the interaction.
"It's that simple, is it? So you would have come if I had called?" He supposed there wasn't necessarily a reason to think she would have avoided him, but still.
"I want to learn more about you. What is it that you do out here in the forest all the time? Are you some sort of guardian?"
" Ah... I assumed so much... "
He really seemed like the guy who would do this way more often than most people were comfortable with. Perhaps not out of malice but because he did not cared so much about their opinion... Perhaps both too, who knows.
" It is that simple, yes... And I would have... Even if it might have... taken a moment. I usually come to people I know when they call me... "
Well, as long as those people haven't tried to hurt her or the owls of course. Or someone else she calls a friend. Eule was also not lying when she said she would have come to Shade too.
When the entity spoke again, answering her question, the spirit tilted her head to the side while the owl, that had tried to free her a moment ago, took it's place on her shoulder. It too tilted it's head. He wants to learn more about her?
" What I do? Hm~ I do wander a lot through the woods... Sometimes... I watch people... Othertimes I sing... "
Eule answers while the bird, on her shoulder, eyes Shade up and down.
" I think... guardian is not the exact term I would use... I am more a... voice for the owls I suppose. Protecting... isn't really my forte... "
// Continued from X / @5mind
There is a body in the water... floating down the river that flows through the forest. The owls had spotted Antares first before immediately telling the spirit that resided in said forest. Not the first time someone would drown in said river. Though it was always a rather... sad sight to Eule. Soemthing about the man made her tilt her head though. He didn't felt... dead. And if he wasn't dead then...
" Please... Help me get him out... "
The womans calls to the owls, and not a minute later a bunch of the birds, both small and big, flew over the body of the man before grabbing him and pulling Antares with all their strength towards the riverbank. Just when he was out of the torrent, and on dry grass, the owls let go of him again and sat around him. Eule too approached and crouched down next to the enforcer... before tilting her head as she eyes him through one of the owls sight. He... has a tail. And is wearing a helmet... What a strange person.
Eule then reaches out, running her hands over his helmet before trying to pull it off his head. If he was still alive, he might be drowing from water than got inside his helmet...
He could feel her hands on his as she took stock of her position. It was almost a tickling sensation, contrasting the prickly one he was getting on the other side of his hand from the upset owl's talons and beak. As Eule surmised though, it wasn't enough to break skin.
"You should be patient as well. I didn't intend to keep holding you like this." He had just gotten distracted by the owl.
Once the owl had moved, he turned his hand over, palm up, and uncurled his fingers, revealing her there. The apathetic voice did kind of read as 'unamused' to him, but he was not often dissuaded by that sort of thing.
"It's been quite awhile. I was in the area and I remembered you. Naturally I was curious and wondered, does that unusual woman still spend her time in the forest? And lo and behold, here you are."
He hadn't intended to keep her trapped like this? That sure hadn't been clear to the spirit. That might be because, while they had met before, she didn't knew Shade that well. But Eule released a breath, that she hadn't realized she had been holding, when her little prison was finally no more.
" It had not been... clear that you haven't intended that... Do you always... catch someone you were looking for like this? "
She spoke, again with her more apathetic voice. Eule also had to resist the urge to run away now that she was free. To turn into an owl herself and fly off. But she resists. Mostly because she doubted that Shade will let her go that easily. And she would rather not go back into his hand.
" You could have just called me... The owls would have told me... that you were looking for me. Besides... it would be hard not to notice you anyway... "
Even if she couldn't see, his presence was easily noticed. Also because she could feel someone entering the forest. Except when they were able to dodge her detection...
" Well... Here I am indeed... Now what? "
"I feel it is the least I can do, offer basic respect to those around me," Leofric said, "Or my surroundings. The forest did not ask me to be here after all, and neither did those who live in it."
He looked at the owls again, tilting his head for a moment, as though trying to understand, before looking back at Eule. It seemed he was wondering what was going through their minds.
"I don't usually know what will happen if I appear to someone, or multiple people, as an omen. I just know that something will. I usually refer to it as smelling a disturbance," Leofric replied.
He then nodded.
"The forest always tends to yield a good bounty of mushrooms for my needs and my studies," Leofric agreed, "Yes, that's due to the circumstances of my current existence. It was a traumatic beginning, but I have made the best of it."
And sometimes he could be there to help pick up the pieces if he had known something had happened.
"That is good to know," Leofric said.
He was quiet as the spirit hummed, silently enjoying the little tune. It was a relief to know that she didn't feel threatened by his presence.
"It is nice to meet you, Eule," Leofric said, "I am Leofric. Leofric Lawford. Have you been here long? In this particular forest I mean."
He wasn't about to pry into how long Eule had existed in general. That would have been rude for a first meeting.
Oh. He was so respectful. Eule liked him already. Not many were this respectful who passed through the woods. It's a breath of fresh air in her opinion. Unfortunately, the owls didn't had the same opinion of him yet. They were staying a bit away, scared of the presence he was giving off. She cannot blame them though. Some of them still followed the two as they walked through the woods.
" Ah.... I think I... understand. That sounds... very convenient. Does this feeling only apply when there is someone else involved? Or... does it apply to you too? "
Can he be an omen to himself? Eule also wonders what those circumstances of his current existence were. With a traumatic beginning even. And she wonders if she would be breaking any unspoken boundaries if she asked about it... So in the end, the spirit decided against asking. If Leofric wanted to talk about it, he will.
" I see... It does sound like a... heavy experience. "
That's all she had to say for now about it.
" Hm~ Leofric. What a nice name... And... I suppose I have been here for a while~ Unfortunately... I can't tell how long exactly. Hm~ But I remember that the... city nearby had been much, much smaller vhen I first came be... "
It's been long apparently. Even though she has never counted the years. Eule then turns a little away from Leofric. Towards an owl that was making a few 'hoo' sounds while it took it's place on a tree.
" Ah~! That one says there are some.... mushrooms over there. Come, Leofric~ "
more snowy owls ❄️
Shade lifted his hand after having successfully caught her, giving a hum of satisfaction to himself. A closed fist was pretty tight quarters, almost oppressively warm the longer you were there with the living walls pressing in on all sides.
"You are not the easiest individual to find, you know," was his answer to that, apparently seeing that as a valid reason for grabbing her.
It wasn't clear whether he didn't hear the 'impolite' comment, or just chose to ignore it. Either way, his attention was now drawn to the owl trying to bite him, which, ironically, slowing him down from opening his hand to look at her.
"Your friend is rather impatient, though I do have to commend him for his loyalty." He moved to try and nudge the owl with his finger.
It is tight in there indeed. While Eule couldn't (thankfully) see it, she could feel it as she lets her hands wander around in the narrow space. She does not like this. And while it didn't made her current situation better, at least she wasn't bothered by how warm it got inside of Shade's fist that entrapped her.
" Oh... I know. "
The spirit was indeed hard to find. Or at least to those who didn't knew how to find her. Though she does tend to appear to those few who knew her name and called for her in the woods. This giant wasn't one of them apparently.
The barn owl also was less than happy with the entities behavior. It continues to constantly attack Shade's hand. Even when Eule told it that it was pretty useless to do so. Though it fluttered frantically, and out of the way, when the attempt of a nudge was there.
" They do not like you for... trapping me like this... So please. At least... open your hand... It is very uncomfortable like this... and no need for it anyway... "
She spoke, her voice more apathetic than usual. Well, she wasn't exactly happy. So that might be the reason.
" Why... were you looking for me anyway...? "
[ Captured // Accepting! ]
@icangiveyouanything asked:
«ENTRAP» except the trap is a hand
It all happened so fast that Eule had barely time to send the barn owl away before she got herself trapped... somewhere... by something? And it took the spirit another moment to reconnect with the fled bird to be able to see what exactly had trapped her. A hand closed around her. A giant one. That belonged to someone who she had actually met before. How bothersome...
" What... are you doing? "
The woman asks Shade, even though she wasn't sure he could even hear her voice given that she was trapped in his hand. Like an insect caught with bare hands. And even though her voice didn't showed it, it made Eule feel uneasy to be in this situation.
" This is... very impolite... "
She mumbled while the owl, that served as her eyes, actually started to peck his hand. It probably won't do much, but at least it was trying.

@outofthiisworld asked:
“Are you lost?” Father Necrosis very well might be—a nighttime stroll to get fresh air (or, as fresh as he could get, sealed away in that suit of his)—and now he’s turned around in these woods. A lesser man would be concerned. Maybe even panicked. He has overcome worse. But what’s to say of the silhouette of a miss? One he barely caught a blur of before losing her amidst the trees (long ago, he would believe she were God’s messengers, all cloaked in divine light and angelic wings). “It’s dangerous for a young lady to wander about at this time of night.”
What a strange presence that wandered through the woods this night. Eule had noticed the man claded in black first before the few owls, who remained with her and weren't hunting, took note of him. He feels... different from other humans that crossed her path. Which made her wonder if he was human at all. It would not surprise the spirit if he wasn't.
" No... I am not... lost. "
She answerd after a moment from behind a tree after her presence was noticed. He sees her, even though Eule had not wanted him to see her. Not many were able to do that. And with some hesitation, the white haired woman stepped away from her hiding place. The owls in the trees had watched him long before her showing herself.
That a strange looking man. At least she guessed it was a man by his voice. Cladded in black. A mask hiding his face. A mask shaped like a birds beak even. Makes Eule wonder what purpose it has. Perhaps, he simply didn't wanted to show his face?
And when Necrosis spoke again, the young lady tilted her head to the side. Like the owls do. She opens her eyes as well, and the scientist could see empty white eyes stare back at him. Hm. Dangerous? It almost made her chuckle.
" This place is my home... Danger usually comes... from those who pass through here... "
But she is not afraid. While death can be painful, it has never been her end yet. No matter how many times she had died.
" But you... What brings you here... at this time of the night? We don't... get visitors at this hours... Not usually. "
Most people didn't tended to visit the woods at night.
" Hm~ You look... particular. Most humans... don't wear masks. "
How is she able to know what he looks like if she is obviously blind?

"If this forest is your current residence though, then I shall be respectful while I am in it," Leofric said, "It is the least I can do in your company."
After all, whether in someone else's home or not, a little bit of politeness and basic decency was something Leofric felt was apt most of the time.
Leofric did look curious about the owls more than anything. He didn't appear at all worried about what they were doing. Even if they became hostile at his presence, they couldn't do much to hurt him.
"Perhaps so," Leofric said, "But I would have at least been able to give some idea of what to possibly expect."
Not the details, but of how to prepare at the very least.
"Yes, and even if they aren't the ones I'm looking for, it would still be useful to take a small amount for future use," Leofric explained, "I am also a healer."
But then he nodded. A small smile did fall onto his lips, and his brown eyes showed some warmth at the request.
"Of course. I welcome company, and I will find yours especially agreeable for the moment," Leofric said, "Just let me know if you need me to match your pace. Due to my height, my walking is sometimes accelerated when with others."
" I... appreciate that~ "
It's not everyday that someone respects the forest like that. Even when they know it is her and the owls home. The owls won't attack him. Not as long as they don't feel really threatened. And even if, they would probably just flee from him.
" Hm, I suppose that is true... Do you... always know what is going to happen... when you are an omen in that moment? "
Or did he only know that something is going to happen? Is he also warning people when he knows something is going to happen? Or just in some cases?
" Ah, I see... Then I doubt you will be... disappointed for what mushrooms you will find here. Hm~ An omen... but also a healer... What an interesting combination~ "
The first time for her to hear of such. Eule also smiled when he offered to match her pace. Surely offered because she was way smaller than Leofric. Actually, she was often way smaller than most people. But the spirit only slightly shakes her head.
" Oh, no need~ Despite my height... I will have no problems walking with you~ "
And it was true. She walked alongside the black shuck easily. But that might be because Eule wasn't walking like a regular human. She almost seemed like as if she was floating as no step of her even touched the ground.
" Hm~ 🎵 Hm~ 🎵 Hm~ 🎵 "
The white haired lady hummed softly as they walked through the forest, before she stops and turns towards Leofric.
" Ah... I almost forget... to proper introduce myself... You can call me Eule. What may I call you~? "
[ Singing in the woods // Accepting! ]
@stgzr asked:
“loud lyrics”
[ 🎵 ]
" Shadows fall~ And hope has fled~ 🎵 Steel your heart~ The dawn will come~ 🎵 "
The voice of the spirit could be heard singing while the owl on her shoulder rocks along her song. But not in the forst this time. No. She was actually strolling through the streets as she sings a song she had heard somewhere at some point. It was already dark outside, and while some humans were still up and around... none of them seemed to notice the white haired woman.
" The night is long~ And the path is dark~🎵 Look to the sky~ For one day soon~🎵 The dawn will come~🎵"
Most humans didn't notice her. Especially if she didn't wanted them to. Just like right now. But there were exceptions of course.
" The shepard's lost~ And his home is far~🎵 Keep to the stars~ The dawn will come~🎵 "

"It's fine, really. I keep saying the city is my turf, I might as well start acting like it."
The forest had to be protected since Rook would have really minded seeing all the owls leave. Telling the ghosts to make a slightly longer trip around would be hardly any issue. They would be delighted, if anything.
"Well, it can't be helped. I'm a hunter. It's never good news when any of us shows up. I'm not aggressive like that guy, or most of them really, but you never know at first glance."
Some actually found her fluffy getup intimidating. But it wasn't that big of a loss in the end. She could always visit her family after her nightly round.
Rook tilted her head as well at the response, a motion that looked quite amusing while wearing her helmet. It wasn't much of an answer, but it still had her intrigued.
"Really? Alright." She didn't seem to mind the lack of an answer. It was just like that with some spirits. "I guess I've been a hunter for nine years now. It's...really something to say out loud."
Time does fly when you're having fun and such.
Her turf. Hm~ Well, if Rook decided she wanted to keep the forest save as well, Eule isn't going to complain. She doesn't understand being afraid of Rook only because she was a hunter though. So far she had been nothing but nice. Neither does the hunter seem like someone who would hunt anyone without a really good reason.
" Ah... I understand... If it makes you feel better... I am not scared of you~ You seem... like a very nice and reasonable person, Rook~ "
But it was also very hard to make Eule afraid. While not deprived of emotions... they seem to be a bit... 'feeble'. Still, the spirit smiles at Rook as she walks alongside her.
Eule but noticed the hunters tilted head through the owls eyes and guessed that her answer wasn't exactly... a satisfying one. But she can't help it. There can't be a better answer if she didn't knew much about herself to begin with. Perhaps one day, she is able to tell Rook more about herself and her past... If there was one.
" Nine years... That is a long time for mortals... I... cannot say how many years has passed since I... came to be. Must be many... I remember when the city has been not as big as it is now... "
But she only remember those days very vague. Though it was the time in which she was given that name by someone.
" And what... made you want to become a hunter? "
"Perhaps you could bring me to a building with access to electricity?" That would be the ideal situation, wouldn't it? Of course, this was assuming that whoever owned the building would let a humanoid construct with a blade for a forearm in.
"And no, our creation does not look like any of us." Or should they say, their other appendages (as the AI tended to think of their humanoid vessels). This stranger, however, didn't need to know about all the specifics of their being though. Most people didn't need to. It would ruin their image.
"I suppose do consider myself her parent though..." Early on when Chirptune was still newly created, the AI had actively seeked out knowledge specifically aimed towards young parents. Even now, they still find themselves looking up solutions to problems that a human parent would have to deal with.
"The owls...oh, of course. There would be more than one in a forest like this," Red One replied. "Are they all your friends?"
"And yes, somewhat. We live on the outskirts of Bayfloat."
The spirit thinks for a moment. There is actually a building not to far away. The only problem is that it has been abandoned for a long time. So she doesn't know if it still has electricity. If it still has, there would be at least no problem with anyone residing inside.
" There is a house not to far... But no one has been living there in a long time... Would that work for you? I don't know if it has... electricity though... "
Hm. If it was their creation, how comes it doesn't looks like them? How strange. Perhaps she has a different understand of how their creation should look like? Ah, her. It was still good to hear that despite her apparently looking different from them, they still considered themself her parent. She heard about over situations in which this wasn't the case.
" Hm~ Yes... I suppose I would call them my... friends~ "
Perhaps it was more something like family. Eule never had really thought about it much before. And she heard the name Bayfloat before. It wasn't to far if she remembered right.
" Bayfloat... It is the city not to far away, right? Hm~ What... made you come all the way here? "
It was good to see Eule smile. It meant she was making a good impression and she couldn't be happier for that. Five had been making things so much harder for her with his nonsense she always expected to be banned from places because of something he had done.
"He probably has no reason, but he does a lot of things on a whim and he isn't very good at respecting nature." she explained, "I'll ask some friends to keep an eye on this side of the city."
They better keep an eye on Five in general. There was no telling what he could get up to next. He had messed with ghosts before, so he was willing to bother just about anyone. Still, Rook was glad to see her small offering was being appreciated.
"I don't mind the company. Being a hunter can be a bit isolating. If I meet someone, it either ends in a fight or they're too scared to really have a chat." Rook said, taking the lead, "Why don't you tell me a bit about yourself? How long have you been in these woods?"
Ah, not one to respect nature, huh? Many humans are like that. Not caring. Not respecting. Eule wouldn't exactly call every single one of them evil though. Again, the spirit doesn't know that man, nor what had happened between him and Rook, so she won't judge for now.
" I understand... And feel free to do that... But please... don't feel obligated to go out of your way for us. "
She surely had other things to worry about, being a hunter and all that, than keeping some forest and owls safe. And if something actually did happen to the forest, the owls would simply move somewhere else. It has happened before after all.
" Ah... That sounds... sad. "
It truly does to the spirit. Why would anyone be afraid of Rook? Or start a fight with her? She seemed really nice and not out for a fight. Perhaps that just comes with the profession?
Eule then lightly tilted her head as she walked besides the hunter. The question didn't surprise her. Many had asked about herself before. Unfortunately there wasn't much to tell...
" Hm~ For a long time~ Unfortunately, I can't recall for how long exactly... Actually, I don't remember anything before I... appeared here~ How long have you been a hunter? "
