Learning to Be a Bird

2 October 2015

14:29 GyroFeather is still cuddled up against the cute griffon, Saewin~

14:30 Saewin wraps his wings around and nibbles on

14:32 GyroFeather gives soft screeches as he feels the beak tugging gently at his flavorful crest feathers

14:33 < Zuthal> (the front half of a peacock actually tends to be a rather monochromatic blue.)

14:33 Saewin starts sucking, then moves down to preen the peacock's wings

14:33 < Zuthal> (the whole pompousness is kind of lost if you don´t have the rear end)

14:33 < GyroFeather> (Indeed. He's only got hte pretty little crest

14:33 < GyroFeather> (Thats still fairly showy though)

14:33 < Zuthal> (ehhh...)

14:34 < GyroFeather> (http://www.payer.de/amarakosa2/amarak2010643.jpg)

14:34 < Zuthal> (though the peacock is the perfect bird for Gyro. Pompous to the point of uselessness.)

14:35 < GyroFeather> (Why do you think I picked it?)

14:35 GyroFeather shudders happily, letting out a small purr and then fans his wing out enough for Saewin to get to it.

14:36 Saewin nibbles and straightens the feathers, running his beak up and down the wing

14:44 GyroFeather shifts around as he feels the beak pull at his feathers, feeling Saewin work the oils into it. The former unicorn is clueless to the fact that Saewin is using his own oils to preen him, leaving the griffon with the lynx bird's distinct scent.

14:45 < GyroFeather> (Hmm I feel like that should be a griffon thing. Preening someone with your preening oils sort of claims them :P)

14:47 < Zuthal> (Stop always making everything into a weird sexual thing, Gyro)

14:48 < GyroFeather> (Claim doesnt require it to be sexual >.> and lots of animals claim with scents)

14:48 < Saewin> (Cats do it to people they like)

14:48 < GyroFeather> (Exactly)

14:51 Saewin keeps working his own oils into Gyro, until soon the peacock will be able to smell Saewin on himself

14:55 GyroFeather closes his eyes and relaxes as he feels the himself being lulled nearly to sleep as Saewin works on his other wing. Soon though the griffon notices something odd. Something doesnt smell quite right but he cant identify why, though its apparent the tiercel is noticing as he looks around confusedly.

14:56 Saewin is finished preening by now, and cuddles up closer to Gyro again, purring deep in his throat.

14:58 GyroFeather perks up as Saewin pushes against him, filling his nostrils with the other tiercel's scent...and he realizes it. "Wh-what? Hey I cant smell..." The former unicorn turns to sniff himself. "Why do I smell like you? I cant smell myself..."

14:59 Saewin shrugs, barely lifting his head, playing up the laziness of his feline side. "Hmm, don't worry about it, I just used my own oils~"

15:01 GyroFeather blinks at Saewin and thinks over it for a minute before taking a deep breath and relaxing. Since he wasnt familiar with griffon ways, he did not understand the significance. "Alright...fine...if thats all it was...but I liked my scent."

15:02 Saewin shifts his head a little closer to Gyro's, still purring. "Mm, me too. But now you smell like me, so all the other griffons will know..."

15:10 GyroFeather blinks at Saewin's words and gives a loud nervous chirp as he meets Saewin's face and shifts a little bit away from him. "All other griffons will know what? W-we're not like that..."

15:12 Saewin pulls him closer again with his wing, still purring. "What? It doesn't mean we're /together/. Not necessarily."

15:12 < -> Dusk is now known as pony_71856

15:13 < -> pony_71856 is now known as Dusk

15:13 GyroFeather moves nervously as he's pulled back against Saewin's body and clenches his beak. "Then...waht does it mean?"

15:16 Saewin starts to stroke his crest, hoping to calm the anxious peacock down a little. "Just that we're close. That I like you. Maybe like /that/, or maybe in a friendly way..."

15:21 GyroFeather takes a deep breath , seemingly a little calmer now, but certainly still more aggrevated than he had been when his feathers had been being preened. "But...what if I wanted to make you smell like me? Would that be the same?"

15:22 Saewin nods. "That would mean you wanted people to know that you liked me. Of course, if we smelled like each other, then it might get confusing for griffons who don't know us."

15:26 GyroFeather bites down on his tongue as he thinks about what Saewin says and then sighs, lying down on the ground. "But then what does it say about the griffon who recieves it? Since they are letting the other gryphon do that to them..."

15:29 Saewin nibbles on his crest again, making soft cooing sounds as he does. "Nothing, except that he likes the griffon who preened him~"

15:31 GyroFeather looks up across his beak up at Saewin and lets out a cute little huff. "But I dont /like/ you. Ugh...why did I ever let you pick me up like that that one night..."

15:32 Saewin giggles at the huffing, but keeps straightening the crest, not using any oil on it but simply working it with his beak. "Not /like/, remember... And you may deny it, but I get the feeling you do like me, even platonically. Afterall, you're willing to let me preen you, and cuddle~"

15:35 < GyroFeather> (Even if platonically? or did you mean something other than ploatonically?)

15:36 < Saewin> (As in, Saewin knows that Gyro must at least like him in a non-sexual way)

15:37 < GyroFeather> (ok, 'even if platonically' then ^^;)

15:38 < Saewin> (If it makes you feel better, you can imagine I phrased it like that :p)

15:38 GyroFeather lets out a deep sigh and then turns his head away. "Its only because I cant go seek out any of the ponies that I normally do like this. They cant see me as a chicken head." The unicorn flinches almost imperceptively at the cognitive dissonance in insulting his current race.

15:40 Saewin squeezes him slightly. "You're a peacock, not a chicken. You really need to learn your birds," he says, smirking slightly where Gyro can't see. "Besides, they might not think less of you. Remember that mare?~"

15:46 GyroFeather oofs as he feels himself squeezed tight and snorts at Saewin, shaking his head. "You know what I mean. And sure they would. What would they think if I suddenly become one of the things which are so beneath me? Its dumb...." The former unicorn slinks down. "Though she was fun...and reallyl weird."

15:48 Saewin sighs and shakes his own head. "Just because you think they're beneath you doesn't mean everyone else does, silly little peacock."

15:48 < Saewin> (I'll be back in a bit, love)

16:03 < -> Tenno|Sleep is now known as Tenno

16:04 < -> Tenno is now known as Tenno|Shower

16:17 < -> Tenno|Shower is now known as Tenno

16:45 < -> Tenno is now known as Tenno|Work

17:34 < -> Arta is now known as Arta|Dinner

18:06 < -> Arta|Dinner is now known as Arta

22:26 GyroFeather rolls his eyes and pushes Saewin's head away from his crest, before scooching away to pout. "Ya, ya...whatever you say. Ponies are allowed to be silly and wrong...itd been several days and that stripey refused to fix up an antidote... I might be stuck like this forever '

22:28 Saewin harumphs, rolling away as well, leaving the peacock without his warmth. "Have you ever considered what it might mean, if most ponies would disagree with you about griffons being 'beneath you'? Could it be that you might just be..." he gasps overdramatically. ".../wrong/?"

22:31 GyroFeather shivers in the cool sea breeze and puffs up his Feathers to contain the warmth. "Sure...next you'll tell me that zebra was justified in what he did to me too."

22:33 Saewin clacks his beak and shakes his head at that. "Hmm, no. No, as fun as it is to have you like this, he was wrong to deceive you, I'll admit that. And he's even more in the wrong to withhold the means to turn you back to your old self."

22:42 GyroFeather clenches his beak and looks over at Saewin. How could somepony of his type be so reasonable. The stallion lets out a sigh and nods his head. "Yes, and somehow all the other potion makers in this blasted city say they can't help. They all speak some stupid mumbo jumbo about humility or something.

22:43 Saewin lifts a feathered brow, clicking again in thought. "Are you saying they told you that you had to learn humility? Perhaps to reverse the potion's effects?"
