[After delivering some drawings to a certain Sansa Stark (he left them for her to find), Moondance is taking a walk around the greenhouse. The plants are looking healthy which hints that perhaps he visits them often. And he does.]

If you could choose an animal to represent you, what would it be? Mixed species are acceptable, though I think it likely there is some existing creature that matches you well.

[He sits in the midst of the greenery, his fingertips lightly glowing.]

Mine is a bird with white plumage. Or black. I have long thought about why I have not bonded with any bird of prey and I think the answer is simple: I am a bird of another sort.

Sloth.

[What? He's already bonding with Speedy.]

[moondancing]

With your speed? Surely not! [Don't jest with him. Or do. Actually, do.]

[doubled_speed]

Not joking. Cute noises and zen attitude. They're good.

[moondancing]

Do you have one as a companion or pet? [Irony?]

Butterfly. [ She's had so much time to think about it. And build an entire identity around it. ] I've used it as a signature for a very long time.

[moondancing]

Butterflies are beautiful and what would we do without them? They are essential to the making of flowers.

[He muses and tilts his head:] What do they mean to you?

[lepidopterans]

Subtly and fine control. When I first came into my telepathy I manifested the butterfly as a symbol. Something to represent the finesse and delicacy need to preform the tasks I need to in someone's mind.

[sonofacesius]

Yeah....so not even going there. That sounds kind of dangerous.

[moondancing]

You are afraid of animals? What of a rabbit or a squirrel?

[sonofacesius]

Well, see. Everything's sacred to someone. So rabbit's Aphrodite. Squirrel, well, that's more Norse than Greek. I could say a dolphin, but those are sacred to my dad as well as Mr. D. But. They're also ocean creatures, so I risk offending Posiedon.

There's no way to win, unless I fancy being a sunflower for the rest of my life.

Water me.

Perhaps you simply haven't found the right bird yet.

[video]

[moondancing]

That was my thinking, Teacher. All of this water has gotten me thinking.

Re: [video]

[adeptable]

What a dangerous pastime. What do you think about?

There's a spell for this, in my world! A wizard friend cast it on us once. I'm a stag.

A white bird would suit you, though. An owl perhaps?

audio

[moondancing]

A stag! You are a handsome beast. [There is nothing wrong with that.] I was thinking more a swan. I wonder what would happen if I visited a lake?

audio

[whiteroadrunning]

Oh! Well... Thank you. [It is still FAR too easy to make Alec blush.]

Go for a swim, I suppose?

I've always been partial to serpents.

[moondancing]

Beautiful and deadly. They are often misjudged, however. Do you feel that suits you?

[itsnothingpersonal]

[He smiles at that.]

Perhaps.

[spoiledbugboy]

Hmm... I dunno. I mean, beetles are cool, with how they look strong and can fend for themselves, but moths are also great because a lot of them just come out at night and just do their thing, and no one bothers them... Ah! But mantises are so cool looking, with how intimidating they are, I mean, no one wants to mess with those! [Yeah, he was trying to narrow down to one insect but... now he's just rambling about cool bug traits and he might be a little off topic. At least he got a smile on his face for a change!]

[Video]

[moondancing]

[Someone has a strong affinity with insects! Moondance hasn't encountered anyone like this boy before.]

What of grasshoppers? Or crickets? I do like any creature that can sing.

[Video]

[spoiledbugboy]

[Haga is more than glad that the older man didn't dismiss his bugs like pretty much everyone he crossed paths with, which makes him actually eager to continue the conversation.]

Hm... I like bugs that sing, but I think my favorite are cicadas. It's nice to hear them near my window during the summer, it's really soothing. [He doesn't like how stuffy summer days are, but he can at least appreciate the cicadas.]

Oh, it would be fun to be a caterpillar too, because they can transform into butterflies, and everyone loves those, right? [He imagines it would be nice to go through such a huge change like that.]

[Okay Alex just is gonna find this hella amusing.]

Oh, I'm definitely some sort of cat. Or maybe a magpie.

audio

[moondancing]

Let's see, that would mean you are vocal and unafraid of being yourself, yes?

Re: audio

[11calls]

That's true.

[And then she laughs softly.]

Also that I'm too damned curious for my own good.
