[Fuck the Fog, honestly. Fuck whoever has done this to him. It isn't just about the change, it's about...retraumatizing, all over again.
Over, and over, and over again.
After a minute of silent observation, as Adrian notes that Rosso...isn't calming down, he moves to his feet again. He's already talking as he approaches, because he knows what Rosso is going to say. What he must be thinking, irrationally.]
I'm gonna be okay...a'ight? Fire...can't hurt me anymore.
[He says that lowly as his steps meander closer, until he's just a foot away. He can feel the heat radiating off Rosso in waves, so intense that it's warping the air around him, but it's not enough to make him shy away. He thinks if he tried to touch him right now, his feathers would likely burn away to nothing...so he doesn't. Instead, he hunkers down as close as he dares, able to look better at Rosso's face by staring at his distorted reflction in the water.]
[It's not that Rosso forgets that Adrian is immune to fire, but it's Rosso's fire, specifically, that he's worried about. Because, yeah, Rosso too, at one point, was immune to fire. To all fire but his own, when it burned those scars into his arms and left him a smouldering shell that no one could touch. Sort of like now.
When Adrian sits, the reeds bloom with a bright flame, but the added heat is enough to fully burn them away. The crimson dissipates and leaves behind only whorls of smoke, wafting their way into the air.
Rosso stares down into the water.]
...even mine? [Maybe it's not as awful now, since he's here and not there. It's just Fog-granted Ryslig Fire and not... his. Not entirely, despite the deceptive red tinge to the flames and the fact he can feel the lack of control. Not his. But his.] I just need... a minute. Need to calm down. I was trying not to burn the fucking house down. I can't...
[Adrian says that firmly. Not...pushy, or aggressive, but also nothing like a limp-wristed false promise. If Rosso is going to deal with this, it's going to be through his own merits, or nothing at all.]
This ain't your fire, Ainen. Whatever it is...it's magic from this place. Like what I got.
[They have to believe that, otherwise...
Otherwise, they're in really big trouble.
He shifts a bit, his much-larger wings folding at his back.]
You look like a Gargoyle. [Kiiiiiind....of.] So it's gotta be that, yeah?
Even if it feels like you can't right now, you'll get it handled eventually. We'll make sure you do, you hear me?
I can't, Adrian! Clean the cotton out of your ears and listen to me!
[There's a surge, suddenly, somewhere deep within him. A spike of frustration mixed with a warning, and then the clouds overhead warp and lightning suddenly strikes down on the bank on the opposite side of the shore. Rosso actually jolts at that, backing up out of the water, thinking he might get electrocuted.
Oh no. Oh no no no, that better not have been him. That better not have been new fucking magic!
He slumps and, already a mess, simply chooses to lie down on the bank in the mud and grass and cinders of reeds. He's covered in his own blood, what's one more thing to add to it? ...and he learns the hard way he needs to close the eyes on his back when he does this. Eugh.]
I'm fucking tired. I don't want... this. I don't want it! All I want is to be me, god dammit.
[The sudden lightning strike startles even Adrian, who would have jumped clear a foot in the air if he hadn't already clenched his talons into the grass. His wings do extend with alarm a little though, the feathers puffing out as his eyes dart from where the lightning struck to Rosso and back.
Seems like Rosso isn't the only one thinking that.
But it's over as quickly as it happened, and Adrian realizes maybe that was the wrong thing to say. He feels his heart sink as he watches Rosso sink down into the mud, as if it would all just swallow him up and make what's happening to him stop. Adrian would fistfight god if he had to to stop it, but it seems like there's nothing much that can be done.
And that really, really sucks.]
Jagi.
[Adrian manages quietly after a moment, inching just a little closer. He wants to reach for him, but he's scared touching him right now might just make Rosso more upset.]
[Rosso makes the most pathetic whimpering noise in the back of his throat, then rolls over onto his side. There are ashy, dirty spots on the upper backs of his arms where he was just pressed into the dirt. He doesn't want to think about his hair right now, he'll burn that bridge (literally) when he reaches it.]
Aegiya.
[Rosso's skin is very, very hot, but he reaches out and puts a claw on Adrian's hand. He wonders if he's going to burn the guy, like he did to Elsword and Ventus years ago. His hands shake when he thinks of it, or maybe that's simply the chill of cold water as it evaporates on his skin. He doesn't know.]
I think I cooked the fish in the lake.
[He's not joking, really, but he's trying to deflect. To hide from those emotions he dislikes so strongly, otherwise there's going to be another fire somewhere less-controlled.]
[Cooking all of the fish in the lake is probably....bbbbad? It's bad. But it's no worse than some of the worse things that lake has probably seen. Adrian would be shocked to learn that there are any fish left at all, come to think of it.
Adrian watches Rosso tentatively as he places a claw on his hand, just barely brushing his knuckles, and undoubtedly he can feel the sensation of heat. Yet...it's not burning him, not in any kind of way that would cause him real harm. Even the proximity, despite the way the air warps around Rosso, isn't bothering him.
And so, he'll shift his own claws a little, moving to sort of...wrap one of his fingers around Rosso's claw. Pinky-in-pinky, more or less.
[It likely isn't all the fish. If there are any left, it's only the ones near the surface that got fried. The bottom of the lake is freezing cold as always, and Rosso would know that if he'd venture into it and drown. He is, unfortunately, not willing to drown.
Adrian doesn't burn. Adrian is fine, he's not singed, he's not on fire, and Rosso can only exhale a relieved-sounding sigh. He scoots a bit closer through the dirt, accepting the finger-hold for now.]
It doesn't hurt you, does it? I— I used to run so hot that no one could touch me without blistering.
[His hand shifts just a little, edging a bit closer to Rosso's though he doesn't actually take his hand proper. He's respecting his space at the moment, not wanting to push for too much too quickly.]
It ain't burnin' me.
[What goes unsaid is that if Adrian didn't have this power already...it would have.]
[If Rosso had to choose between burning up like this and being alone, unable to touch anyone ever again, or only able to touch Adrian... the choice would be obvious. There's something comforting in the fact that Adrian is immune to his heat, to being boiled alive in his own skin.
Rosso, covered in blood and dirt and soot, scoots further and further, until he can lay his head on Adrian's lap.]
You look dumb as hell. [It's a half-hearted joke.] I don't want to burn your stupid little feathers off, or you'll look like a naked chicken.
[Adrian would joke back normally- "Not as dumb as you", or something- but he's worried he might upset Rosso accidentally if he pushes buttons right now. Instead, he'll take the joking on the chin as Rosso lays his head in his lap, and with one of their hands still only halfway held, he'll reach his claws up so he can stroke Rosso's hair with the other. Like everything else, it's doesn't burn him. It's just very warm.]
[Normally, the hand in his hair would make his tail wag. He's not a werewolf, so his reptile tail doesn't do the same thing, but the effect is conveyed when he nuzzles into Adrian's hand.]
...yeah. After all this shit? You looking like a naked chicken is probably the least of my concerns.
[Rosso huffs out a little breath. It's warm, but it's not fire.]
I'm covered in my own blood and lake gunk. I'm sure I look like shit right now.
I was trying to wait for u to get through some tags but I can't ignore these Rossos any longer
[It's enough for Adrian. He's not expecting anything crazy right now, especially with what Rosso's been going through. Plus, it looks like he's finally starting to calm down...and, in turn, cool down. It's slow, but that's fine. Adrian will sit out here in the mud with him for hours if he has to.]
Yeah, kinda.
[It feels strange, not having parts he's been used to for some time. Like his tail, which has been replaced with tailfeathers that can't move anywhere as freely. He'll compromise by draping a wing around them both, which he's noticing is actually quite larger than his wings as a Manticore.]
But we'll get you cleaned up when we get back home.
[Wing-blankets are always appreciated. Rosso's many eyes turn toward it before most of them shut. If he just... talks through it, he thinks he'll chill out more. Unfortunately, Rosso's idea of talking through things is rather morbid, since he has no filter at the best of times. Therefore—]
The multiple eyes are itchy. [Gross.] They fucking... popped up under some of my clothes, and the fabric texture makes them itch. And the goddamn scales itch, and having mud in literally everywhere itches.
[The ones on his wing, spine, thighs, et cetera — they move to "look" at the things Rosso looks at, in a horribly uncanny sort of way. But they don't see anything. It's something of a saving grace.]
I've got kaleidoscope vision from just that, though. It's disorienting as shit, going from one eye to three.
[Rosso moves the small, vestigial wing covering the side of his face where his eyepatch normally is — the eye sockets on that side are all empty, to match the usual empty one. He takes it as a sick joke from the Fog, to be honest. She was able to put working eyes on one side of his face but not the other? What the fuck's that about?]
[...man. Adrian has seen Rosso's eye before now, it's not a shock seeing it again. But seeing it still empty, even when he has multiple eyes on the other side? It's like some kind of cruel joke, and he's not laughing. Like, there's a small blessing in the fact that the other eyes are sightless- he's pretty sure that would be too disorienting to be able to stand- but still...
Adrian hunches over a little, his wings curving even further around Rosso protectively.]
I can imagine. M'sorry shit can't ever just be normal.
[Just let Rosso be normal for once, he's begging.]
[The vestigial wing ends up over his face again in time. If Rosso doesn't think about what's underneath it, he can at least admit it's kind of a cool eyepatch. He's not sure if he'd prefer it this way or not; having his sight changed at all after five hundred years tends to fuck with him, and either way, he was getting brand new depth perception out of this arrangement.]
Every day's something new. [But it's the same on Elrios, too.] I don't think I'll burn the house down... probably. I need a bath. Stuff's starting to itch like crazy.
[Thigh eyeballs should not itch but here they fucking are. Does he need, like... eyedrops for these things?]
[Rosso's been out here suffering for long enough. And if he thinks he's okay going inside? Then they're going inside.
He brushes his hand over Rosso's hair one more time, then decides to...you know, ask for once before he just slings him over his shoulder like a bag of potatoes.]
Want me to carry you?
[If he thinks he can walk, that's fine, but...you know.]
...yeah. Not 'cause I can't walk, I just don't feel like it.
[No, he wants to be held by his large feathery boyfriend, thank you very much. He'll bother to sit up, though, to make himself easier to scoop. Mind the giant wings, they're just out here. Rosso hasn't figured out how to make them lie completely flat yet.]
Throw me into the tub so I don't get muck all over the floors, too.
[Rosso's big ass wings are going to make carrying him the way Adrian wants- bridal style, how else- a bit difficult, but he manages to find a compromise.
Meaning, instead of scooping him that way, he picks Rosso up with Rosso facing him, making it easy for him to wrap his arms around Adrian's neck and legs around his hips as the Harpy/Faerie hybrid slowly pushes himself up to stand. It takes him a moment to get his bearings, his wings and tailfeathers shivering to shake the mud off, but once he's sure he's got a good grip on Rosso he'll start to make the trek back home.]
I'll help you. Gonna be a bitch with all those eyes.
[What with the water and the soap and the stinging, oh god this is such an existential nightmare he's so sorry-
But, at least, it's something Adrian is willing to do. He isn't just going to leave Rosso in the lurch, after all.]
[Get you a man who's willing to wash your eyeballs for you tbh.
Rosso koalas onto Adrian in a way that might be cute, if he wasn't biblically accurate right now. Or maybe it's very cute to have a little horror stuck to your chest. Unclear.
Luckily, they make it home in one piece. Rosso does not accidentally burn more things, especially not Adrian, and Alisha is happy to greet them (scream) when they come in. As expected, Rosso tries to keep off the floors, which results in him having to lift his too-long tail and coil it around Adrian's thigh, but... hey. It's less to clean up later. Fog knows Rosso doesn't wanna clean right now.]
[No listen he is still cute even if he is biblically accurate, shut up. Adrian just won't stare at those many eyes and as long as they don't stare at him, they won't have a problem. It's fine!!
Back into the house they go, and honestly it's a relief that the place doesn't go up in flames on impact. Adrian has to hope the familiarity and comfort of being home helps Rosso relax a bit, even if it means there's still that lingering anxiety in the back of his mind, worrying if he might accidentally torch something without thinking. Luckily, he won't have to ponder it long, because the Harpy/Fae hybrid is quick to take Rosso straight to their bath tucked off to one side of the house.
As much as Adrian wants to rush to get Rosso cleaned, he takes his time solely because he doesn't want to hurt him. Those eyes are...weird, and he's kindof afraid to touch them directly, but hopefully it doesn't bother Rosso too much being set into an empty tub that's quickly filled with warm water. Probably hotter than any normal person could stand, since the both of them aren't bothered by the heat. It's a careful process, with which Adrian keeps asking Rosso if he's alright, because he does eventually need to get soap involved...and it's probably going to sting. And while Adrian could use a bath too, he foregoes it for now. Only his legs and wingtips got muddy, it's fine, he'll shower later because there's no way in hell both of them will fit with their massive wingspans.
Rosso will get Worshed in due time though, with Adrian taking it upon himself to wrap him in a dry towel and lift him up out of the tub, though he'll let Rosso stand and dry himself off unless he wants Adrian to do that, too (he will). It's a little surprising, actually, because Rosso is so WARM naturally right now that before Adrian can even turn to seeing about drying his hair, it's already wicked away a lot of the moisture...]
Well, you're lookin' a lot better now. How do you feel?
[Yes Rosso is a furnace, this always happens to him. Or it used to, back home anyway. At least he'll make a good space heater (in the middle of fucking summer).]
Less like I have mud in every orifice that sprang up on my body overnight, that's for sure.
[Rosso's pulling on clothes as he says this... there's a lot of clothing that will be too itchy for him to wear, so it's gonna be a shorts and a cropped halter top sort of day. These are the only things in his wardrobe that won't kill him with itchy-scratchies. It's a good thing he has clothing for every single mood he has because otherwise he'd be cutting up t-shirts right about now.]
[It's funny that Rosso is putting on clothes...at all, because Adrian? He's actually not wearing any, at least not yet. He tore through his pajamas pretty spectacularly during the night, and he has so many feathers covering his body he wonders if it's even worth it. It's almost like he's wearing pants as it is, and trying to put fabric on over them is just going to be a headache.
It's fine. We're not worried about Adrian right now, not with how he's still looking Rosso over to make sure there aren't any burns or scrapes he'd overlooked.]
Good. Other than, uh. All the...eyes, it don't look like the changes fucked you up too badly, at least.
[Well. There's still the issue of the fact their floors are covered in blood, but don't think about it-]
