@viladlind. // starter.

"that's a very elaborate cosplay outfit. you must have put a lot of work into it. who is the character and where are they from?" maybe it's something in the air, maybe it's trying to find someone who could inform her of how to get back home, maybe it's something else entirely—but the words spill out from manhattan cafe's mouth before she can think otherwise.

she sneezes, a tiny, stifled sound into her elbow, and then huffs in annoyance. the pollen count still reads "good luck! <3" like some cheeky bully, and her tail swishes even more aggressively in her irritation. she clears her throat, focusing back on the very pink person in front of her.

"i am old enough to have once believed there was nothing new for these ancient eyes to see." the 'dragonborn' muses, gazing down at his hands - still half-expecting to see decayed flesh and bone instead of the form his magic allows him to take.

(something alive, rather than the rot he'd inflicted.)

though his magic can recreate the image and physical mimicries of life, it still leaves him feeling cold and empty. what should be shimmering bronze scales seem dulled and lackluster in his eyes - and the oppressive nature of this realm felt constricting.

"i was a fool then," he sighs; still he finds himself doubting the reality of this place and the people here. (balduran, above all.) " - and perhaps still." his eyes drift from his claws to the tiefling, as if only just now realizing there was another person there.

"-- you are fiyero?"

He certainly looks similar to a Majik: but she's seen more than one person who look similar to them, yet happen to be distinct beings who are not dangerous. (Perhaps his bright, spring-pink palette is simply normal in his homeland. It's certainly very beautiful.)

"May I be so bold as to ask where you're from? We...don't have anyone like you in Kagami, nor in the surrounding lands."

Even if she isn't the presiding Queen right now, it wouldn't be right of her to simply stay in isolation, unwilling to learn about those outside of her home. She can offer details about where she hails from, too: an exchange of information, fair as fair can be.
