[the traveler has appeared on the edge of town along the road. anyone in the surrounding buildings may have heard it chirping and calling out as it runs toward the town square. and anyone it encounters along the way will have a close to three foot tall red cloaked creature running circles around them.

ooc; an example of the tonal chirps can be found here on a youtube let's play]

Oh, so you were the one making the music? It's very pretty!

[So pretty, in fact, that she's just going to join in by singing.]

Oh, you're so sweet! [She's going to reach out and attempt to pat the little cloaked creature's head.]</small?

[chirpchirp]

♩♩♪ ♫ ♩♪♪♫ ♫~

[The traveler will never understand why so many people here have feet growing from their heads or why they use them to pat it on the head, but it isn't so bad, so the traveler just bumps up against Kohaku's feet!hand and trills.]

♫~

[angelicamber]

[Oh, it's so cute! She just keeps rubbing it, until she realizes something.

This little creature, this adorable singer, has made her happier than she has been since she fell asleep. The traveler took away her worry. Something about this song... Without warning, she scoops the small creature into a hug, still singing.]

♫♫♫♫♫♫♫~! Thank you!

[chirpchirp]

[WHOA being picked up. The traveler flails for a moment and then calms. Its cloak glows a little from the proximity with another person and it chirps.]

♫

[angelicamber]

[And squeezed for good measure! Before she notices what she's doing and puts him down.]

I'm sorry about that.

... Are you glowing?

[chirpchirp]

♫~♪

[Once down the traveler's cloak stops glowing and it looks up at Kohaku.]

♫♫♫~

[angelicamber]

[The cloak stopped glowing? When she put it down... Hmm.

She reaches out to touch the edge of the cloak, humming all the while.]

♬♫♩♪♩~

[chirpchirp]

♫♪♫　♪♪

[When she touches the cloak, it glows softly again.]

[angelicamber]

[Oh! It must be magical or something! This time, she charges her hand with a tiny bit of energy before touching it again, still humming.]

♩♫♬♪♩...

[chirpchirp]

[With its scarf charged, the traveler flaps its wings and rises into the air for a moment - symbols glowing on the scarf - then it drops back down next to Kohaku, chirping.]

♫~

[angelicamber]

[She stops humming. It can fly? That was unexpected.

When it returns to her, she tilts her head slightly.]

You want to fly? [Maybe it wants to fly with her. Slightly hesitantly, she unhides her wings. Not her Luceti wings, but the larger, mostly transparent white wings that mark her status as an angel. If the traveler likes, she can certainly accompany it.]

[chirpchirp]

♩!

<wings! like the dragons! but you're nice! let's fly!>

[it chirps loudly and tries to flap its cloak...only to find that the power in its scarf is nearly gone and it can't lift off.]

[angelicamber]

[She giggles slightly at the particularly loud chirp, but then she realizes that the little creature can't fly anymore. With a faint, flat hum of worry, she charges her hand with significantly more energy than she had before and reaches out to touch the scarf again. Hopefully it can't be overloaded or anything...]

[chirpchirp]

[NOPE but it can suddenly grow, which is what the overload of power does. the scarf extends suddenly, swirling with golden light. the traveler trills and jumps into the air, flapping its wings as it goes for height.

this person - she is an elder. one who bestows power. the traveler hums with joy, taking to the sky]

[angelicamber]

[Well, that's certainly surprising. Kohaku flinches back slightly when the scarf suddenly expands, but once she realizes it hasn't exploded or something, she just laughs. When the traveler takes off, she flaps her own wings and lifts off the ground to follow it upwards.]

[chirpchirp]

[it flies for as long as it can, flapping its cloak to keep airborne as it tries to head for the forest and the mountain beyond. it a good few yards and then slowly, the power drained from its scarf, it begins to drift toward the ground.]

[angelicamber]

[She flies along with it, but it's not long at all before the owlish little creature is sinking again.]

Oh dear. I don't think your scarf is that efficient...

[Providing it with constant energy could cause her wings to de-manifest, as well. Fortunately, though, another idea comes to mind pretty quickly. Fluttering lower, Kohaku gently wraps her arms around the traveler's midsection and flaps her wings powerfully, lifting them both into the sky. Her new companion is small enough that this isn't difficult.]

[chirpchirp]

[it's used to this, but suddenly there are arms around it and WHOA THEY ARE FLYING WITHOUT HAVING TO FLAP WHAT]

♪♪♪！！

[angelicamber]

[Well, she's flapping he own wings, but it probably can't tell from this angle. At its sudden outburst, she looks down at her little passenger.]

♪? Are you alright?

[Oh dear, what if it's nervous now?]

[chirpchirp]

[this is so cool!!!! it swings its legs excitedly, pipping at her]

♪♪♪♪!!!
