[When Kaibus is at school, Gabriel gets really bored. He has a habit of rearranging Kaibus' house weirdly and then putting everything back the way it was. He'll also eat random things, and roll around on the floor. Right now, he's in bird form and doing loops around the house as fast as he can. He'll be spinning and doing tricks and trilling triumphantly when he pulls something off.

He quickly loses track of time, though. So he's still flying around the house when Kaibus opens the door. In his shock, he loses control of his wings and the air and flies straight into Kaibus' forehead. For Gabriel, it hurts like hell. For Kaibus...Well...It was probably funny? And he'll flop into Kaibus' scarf with the wind knocked out of him, chirping miserably.]

[untroubled]

[In actuality, Kaibus can't muster a response for several moments, and then--] Ahahahaha! [Letting his bag fall to the ground, he nuzzles his scarf, paying little mind to gentleness.]

[cruenta]

[Considering that Gabe just slammed full force into Kaibus without dying, he can take his nuzzling. He's still winded though, and chirps in annoyance while puffing his feathers out as much as he can. Which...of course doesn't make him look any bigger. It just makes him look like a puffy bird.]

[untroubled]

You don't look very threatening, y'know. [He'll just use his index finger to rub the top of the little bird's head.]

[cruenta]

[For that, Kaibus gets an angry trill and a peck to his finger. Don't be rude!]

[untroubled]

Hey! [Blowing on a bird is sure to be effective.] Don't peck me!

[cruenta]

[In response to THAT, Gabriel takes flight and perches momentarily on his face, then bites his nose. Immediately following this, he pushes away and floats a couple feet away from Kaibus, then resumes his normal (naked) shape.]

... [Huff.]

[untroubled]

Ow! That re-- [He turns his head to the side, ears dusted red.] --really hurt.

[cruenta]

[Is Kaibus really still embarrassed about nakedness. Really.]

You could've knocked.

[At your own apartment. Yeah.]

[untroubled]

Not at my own place! Nobody does that!

[cruenta]

You do if there's another person living here. [Right? Right. No. Not even Gabriel thinks so. He's just fussing.]

[untroubled]

Since when? Nobody ever told me about it!

[cruenta]

I just told you about it.

[untroubled]

That's super unfair! [POUTING. HOW RUDE.]

[cruenta]

What if I was doing something private that I didn't want you to see? [LIKE ZOOMING AROUND THE HOUSE IN BIRD FORM.]

[untroubled]

Then you should have told me first! [And now neither of them are making sense.] But it was really cute.

[cruenta]

[KFDSHFSJHA

Gabriel doesn't even answer. He just turns around and crosses his arms, flourishing his wings a little bit at the same time. That's so rude.]

[untroubled]

[Fine, fine.... instead of saying anything more, Kaibus crawls over to the discarded pile of clothes and holds up the pair of brightly coloured socks.]

Um, shouldn't you get dressed?

[cruenta]

Yeah. [He sighs and takes the socks, quickly pulling them on before kneeling down to search for the rest of his clothing.]

Did you have a good day?

[untroubled]

[Already on the floor, Kaibus decides to lay on his stomach and rest his chin in his hands, slowly kicking his legs back and forth.]

You look really good in those.

[cruenta]

These? They're probably a little too bright for me... I'm pretty plain.

[He has this idea about himself you see.]

[untroubled]

No way, they look great! You really don't think too highly of yourself, huh?

[cruenta]

[Gabriel shrugs lightly.] White hair isn't too uncommon where I come from. And wings aren't exactly welcome appendages. So I'm not too spectacular.

[He sighs.] I like my eyes, though.

[untroubled]

Seriously? [Give him just a moment to think before reaching out and lightly grasping Gabriel's ankle.] Hey.... could you tell me more about you?

[cruenta]

[He doesn't fight him off. Gabriel is more than used to touches like these by now. He just starts putting his shirt on, leaving his pants for last, since Kaibus' hand is in the way.]

What do you want to know? [He won't say everything, but since he's not planning on leaving in the near future, maybe Kaibus can know some things...]
