He gazes at the other, not believing him for a second. One was not find when they fell from a cliff. He raised his brow ever so slightly as he quietly and quickly checked for anything that might be broken or injured. He didn't want to bring this stranger home unless he absolutely had to. He gently sat the elf down against a tree. "I can help… maybe." He gazes at the other. "Does anything hurt… badly?" He wasn't sure how to word it.
Just a gay fantasy rp, what can I say? (Closed)
“Ah…my head and back hurt a bit.” He quickly reached up to his head and the sudden action caused his vision to go spotty. He covered his eyes and continued, “Very lightheaded as well…but no major pain.” He slowly looked up to the human, careful of his head, and smiled softly.
He paused before slowly picking him up. "I have a home not far from here, I can help a little bit…" He slowly carries the other to get through the water. He sighed deeply, "But that's only okay with you." He paused a little bit, "I don't want to drag you somewhere you don't want to go."
Calin blinked in surprise when he was picked up, "I-uh, yeah that's okay," He studied the other before continuing, "But don't think that you have to, we've just met after all…" He trailed as a thought came to him, "Uh, if you don't mind my asking, what is your name?"
He nods a little as he carried the other, making sure to be as gentle as possibly. "Oliver." He replies simply, easily navigating through the woods. He knew this forest like the back of his hand. They finally made it to a rather cozy looking home. It was small, with a surprisingly large garden.
"What a nice name!" Calin put a hand to his chest, "My name is Calin. It's nice to meet you Oliver." His breath caught when they arrived at the house, the garden was amazing looking and seemed to be very well tended. He continued studying the plants, muttering the names under his breath when he recognized one. He was definitely distracted.
He nods a little at the other's words, silently noting the name but not saying anything. He wasn't one to chat often. The garden was bathed in a soft light, a little well resting peacefully in the middle. He hummed as he heard the other muttering names of plants, setting him on the bed near the window that looked out into the garden.
Calin studied the plants a couple moments longer before tearing his eyes away and taking in his surroundings. It was nice and cozy, a comfortable little place, similar to his childhood home. He grimaced at the thought of his parents but sighed and smiled, admiring how neat and organized everything was. He looked up at Oliver, "You have some really nice organization skills, Oli-do you mind if I call you that?" His gaze turned back to the window, "I like your garden as well."
(bump)
(Sorry! I thought I replied!)
The house had no rooms except for a closet and what looked like a place to go to the bathroom. The kitchen looked rather simple, a stove, a few counters, a fire place, a place to keep food cold, and cabinets. The bed was settled a few feet from the kitchen, placed under the window that streamed in the warm sunlight and looked out into the garden. He paused and looks over at the other as he prepped some food and cool water for his guest. "Oli is fine." He shrugs as he looks out to his garden. "Thank you." He replies quietly before returning to cutting the fruits and carrying the water and plate of snacks to the bed, handing them to the other. "Eat and rest for a moment. I'll whip something up to help with the dizziness and pain."
(It's okay! I figured that's what happened!)
Calin turned from the window and took the plate and water, "Thank you." He said with a smile and set the plate down on the bed before taking a bite of a strawberry. His eyes lit up, "These are delicious! You can never go wrong with fresh fruit." He continued trying all of the fruits and other snacks that were on the plate and took a long drink of water. He glanced over to where Oliver was, "Do you live here by yourself or do you people or animals to keep you company?"
Oli nods a little. "No problem." He replies quietly. He gets back to work on making those pain relievers and what not. He nods a little at the others comment about the fresh fruit. "They were harvested this morning." He replies quietly. He paused at the questions, shrugging. "It's really just me and animals. My cat should be around here someone. Probably chasing mice in the field." He offers the herbal remedy to the other, a gentle smile flitting over his lips. "I tend to avoid people."
"Cats are a good pet to have when living in the forest." Calin remarked when Oli mentioned his cat. He accepted the remedy from the other and after studying it for a moment, he swallowed it. He pursed his lips at the bitter taste but mumbled his thanks and listened to what Oli said next, "Is there a reason you avoid people?" He asked curiously.
He nods a little bit at the cat part, he wasn't really one for words, however his guest seemed to be chatty. He paused at the question about him avoiding people, his eyes saddening a little bit. He never really liked thinking about his curse, after all, he had managed to avoid activating it more than he wanted to. He didn't use his magic… at all now. Not after he found out the truth. He shrugged a little bit, "Just anti social I suppose." He replies simply.
Calin noticed look in the others eyes and frowned slightly, he hadn't meant to bring up an uncomfortable topic. He quickly put a smile on his face and laughed quietly, "Well then, I suppose living in the forest is a good thing! You don't have to deal with people often, unless people happen to fall off cliffs often."
He snickers softly at the others words, nodding a little bit. "Just you." He hands the other some more water before settling down into a chair. It looked rather comfortable. He gave a relaxed sigh, his eyes shutting for a minute. "It's a little nice having a visitor. Rare… but nice. I can take you to the nearest village when you get back on your feet and can walk without collapsing." He offered a teasing smile.
Calin's smile widened, "I'm just special then," He said smugly while accepting the water. He listened to other talk about taking him to a village while he took a sip of water. "Dang, so you're saying you can't carry all the way to the village? What a shame." He laughed and shook his head slightly.
He chuckles quietly at the others words before shaking his head. "I'm not carrying someone who is capable of walking on their own two legs. You just have to rest a bit." He glances over at the other with a slightly raised eyebrow and a knowing look on his face. He wrapped his cloak around himself and gave a relaxed sigh.
"Okay, okay…" Calin responded with mock disappointment. He met the others glance with a smile. Something outside then caught his eye. He looked out and saw that the sun was beginning to set. Calin let out a small noise of surprise, "Wow the day passed by quickly, the sun is already setting."
He chuckles quietly at the faint disappointment before glancing out as well. "So it is." He hummed before standing slowly and moving to the fire place, quickly starting one up. "You can rest here for tonight. The forest isn't safe at night." He finished setting up the fire before quickly opening the door and letting in Lotus who sniffed curiously at Calin before settling in his lap. Oli shut the heavy door behind Lotus, securing it shut before shutting the curtains. He walks back to his chair and settles down.
Calin pulled his gaze away from the window and watched Oli start the fire and open the door. He looked to the floor to see the others cat come up and sniff him, "Hello…" He said quietly, smiling at the cat. When the cat settled onto his lap, he began to pet her. "She's quite soft for a more outdoorsy cat, what's her name?"
Oliver glances over at Lotus, humming a little bit, "Her name is Lotus." He chuckles quietly, "As you can see, she's very affectionate." He sets out some food for her, which she glances at but doesn't move. He settles into his chair once more and relaxes. It was… nice having company. Calin seemed chill at the least, which he was grateful for. And he wasn't freaked out by Oliver's extreme height and muscle mass.
"Yes, she's very sweet…" Calin looked over to Oliver, a soft smile on his face. He got lost in thought as his gaze stayed on the other. He snapped back into reality when Lotus licked his hand which had stopped moving. He quickly looked back down to Lotus and flexed his fingers before scratching her under the chin.
(hey just wanted to let you know that I probably won't be super active tonight and that I once again won't be very active on the weekdays, I'll try to respond as much I as can though)
(That's okay!)
Lotus mewled softly and nuzzled into Calin, leaning her head to the side so that he scratched where she wanted him to. Oliver watched them in content, his face warmed the the fire that crackled quietly. "She's been with me for about three years now." He murmured quietly, his eyes shutting for a moment as he relaxed.
Calin hummed quietly as he continued to pet Lotus, he used his other hand to push back a bit of hair that had fallen over his face. He glanced back up to Oliver and leaned his head to the side, "It must be nice to have someone to keep you company." He sighed softly.
He nods. "Cats aren't people." He said simply. He never liked people. He was okay with the occasional person, but he was always seen as a monster… Which of course drove him to hide within the forest. Lotus purred and settles in Calin's lap. Her tail flicked back and forth in a relaxed manner.
