The bird angled her wings, struggling to get used to the yanking of the twister. It threw up some perfect thermals, but also made her have to strain to fly.

Her keen eyes scanned her surroundings. She had gotten many ideas from Glory, and she was eager to put them to practice. But first, she needed to find a place where she could 'set up shop' as the saying went.

Speech. Thought.

Near the centre of the swirling whirlwinds laid an gembound ready to hatch. Inside was the confident, self absorbed peacock, some would call him a Dick, and they’d be right in two ways. Dick broke out and stretched out his wings. Slowly he looked around, wondering where the hell he was when he saw someone flying overhead. Dick stated for a few moments before focusing. He needed to get their attention. He NEEDED to. He spread out his tail feathers, revealing his fancy gem and then, out of nowhere, he began to glow. He hoped that this would at least catch their attention.

“Hey, down here!”

He shouted up and the flying bird, waiting for them to come down to him.

@Gea

The falcon's keen eyes only took a moment to catch the glow, and she tilted her head to follow it. What had that been?

It wasn't easy to miss the baby peacock, glowing and fanning his feathers. And he was loud, as well. So she turned, folding her wings to the side before diving with the speed her species was known for, reaching the floor in only moments. Spreading her wings, she caught herself, and landed in front of the baby.

"Oh, hello! Aren't you beautiful!" she gasped, eyes lighting up. She ruffled her feathers, realizing what her duty was with this new child. "Welcome to Monoceros. I am Gea! Do you know your name?"

@Dick

Speech. Thought.

Luckily Dick caught his attention. He waited for the bird to come down to him and smiled at the complement. Even without his adult plume, he was already attracting females to him.

"I am Dick von Blitz and you shall address me as such from now on! Now, admire my beuaty."

He stood proudly, raising his head up high and fanned out his tail feathers as much as he could, revealing the prescious gem. Dick was just self absorbed and arrogant. All he cared about was himself. He glowed softly, enhancing his features as he stood proudly.

@Gea

The falcon observed the peacock amusedly, ruffling her feathers. Oh, he was adorable. She couldn't wait to see him grow up, wondering if he would grow out of his pride and vanity.

"Pleased to meet you, Dick von Blitz." she chuckled. Never before had she met a Gembound with more than a single word to their name. What was a von? And so she asked, "What is a von?"

She observed as he showed off his tail feathers and gem, making an appreciative crooning sound. "You are beautiful." she agreed, wondering if it would be possible to craft something that looked like one of his feathers.

@Dick

Speech. Thought.

A piece of ironcan only becomewhat the blacksmith saysit can become

Dick listened to Gea and upon hearing her question, he cocked his head a little. Honestly, he didn't know. He thought about it for a minute then turned to her, looking her straight in the eyes.

"It means I am....of nobility!"

Of course, he completely lied. He had to make it look cool, right? Once again, she called him beautiful. He smiled brightly and walked closer to her.

"Once I am of age and you see me for my true beauty, I will claim you as my mate Gea! How do that sound?"

He smiled at her, he didn't think he would find someone so soon, but hey. As long as she respected him and he was treated rightly, he didn't care. He had found a future mate.....or had he?

@Gea

"Oh, a noble?" she chuckled, before spreading her wings wide and bowing low playfully. She was well aware that he was, in fact, not of nobility. But he was young, and would hopefully grow out of it. Surely he was just playing a game.

Standing back up, she grinned as well as a bird could. Oh, he was adorable, she just had to play along.

"If you still view me as such, then that is alright with me." she bit down a laugh, ruffling her feathers. "There are many other Gembounds who might catch your eye, instead, after all."

@Dick

Speech. Thought.

Dick smiled as she bowed before him. Yes, he loved this. He loved being treated like royalty. He loved being treated like he was above everyone else because in his mind, he was. He was a peacock. a manificent bird.

"I only need one mate, why bother searching for more when I have you right in front of me? No, you shall serve me well, Gea. I can see us becoming close, very close."

He once again tried to make himself glow, as it brightened up his features, made him stand out more and once again, he was successful. He glowed with pride, head held up high.
