“Wow!” Alm’s gaze roved over the wings, smiling to himself. “I bet it must take a lot when you’re awake!” It was hard to imagine just how Aurora would pull such a feat, but he figured that similar to the dragons that wielded a power similar to the Gods of his homeland, there was probably a reason people around here called Aurora a ‘bird’. Maybe she could form-shift as well?

He does not immediately take her offer to touch them, instead turning his beaming smile to her. “It’s not as much awkward for me as it is kind of amazing! I’ve never seen someone with wings before—!”

The closest it’d get would have been seeing Clair’s pegasus for the first time, even if he already knew they existed. It had still filled him with awe, just as Aurora’s wings did now. Maybe they would be a bother for some things, but he was sure they had their upsides too.

“I guess I’ll take you up on it, but if you don’t feel good about it, tell me and I’ll stop right away.” He might as well set that line before he crosses it! Alm had accidentally upset others before, and it was something he didn’t want to make a habit out of.

Reaching out with his left hand, his touch on the feathers is soft and fond, fingertips barely brushing against the wings, admiring their well-kept sheen. For now, he avoids the actual joints themselves, if anything to not make it too awkward for Aurora. Soon, he stops, dropping his hand and wearing a small smile on his face.

“Was that alright?”

While neither of the Reed brothers were closely acquainted with Aurora, they were both of the belief that it was best not to go anywhere alone in this castle -- even when simply returning to one’s rooms -- and where one of them went, the other was close behind. So, when Aurora announced that she was retiring to her room, Lloyd offered to escort her back, and Linus tagged along out of boredom more than anything else.

“Do you spend much of your time here in your quarters? I can’t say that I see you with the others much,” Lloyd spoke up, following a step behind the young woman as she made her way to her designated room. Not that he could really talk, as it were; Lloyd spent much of his time on his own, and only recently began interacting with the other inhabitants of the castle.

Linus snorted behind the two, refraining from pointing out that Lloyd was hardly a social butterfly himself. For now, at least, he’d keep his mouth shut.

“Yeah, you were in the Void for a good while, right? Hard to make conversation in there, I’ll bet,” Linus chimed in, ignoring the scathing look that was sent his way from his older brother. “What? She was!”

Events like these were meant for pretty things, Ike supposes. The entire castle is decorated for the occasion, and it seems any one present is forced to wear these... outfits. Ike hates it, but he can still at least appreciate the aesthetic value to an extent. He wishes he weren’t stuck in such a suit.

Naturally, Aurora looks beautiful, but it’s no surprise to Ike. If he’s learned anything about the herons it was that they’re all ephemerally gorgeous, but past that, he can’t draw any assumptions on Aurora’s nature. The first heron Ike met he’d underestimated and found too harsh to match his gorgeous appearance, the second he’s convinced cursed him out in the ancient tongue, and the third had been everything he expected the first time and had been forced to forget entirely. In the end, he decides to allow Aurora to speak for herself, before trying to draw any conclusions.

He has a question for her, of course, but he holds it, for now. He’s got away with accidentally insulting two herons out of three, and he’d rather avoid ever doing it again.
