-=Hawke is inside his home, walking about with the PCD blissfully remaining above his belly button. Hawke has no shirt on and there's a fire in the hearth to keep him warm. He looks very perturbed as he's holding up a frock coat=-

What is this? Where is my cloth? Where are any of them?

...What do you wear then?

[A tiny voice, for she's not completely sure she wants the answer to that but still bravely asks.]

[golden_hawke]

I have a cloth that I place around my waist.

[feel-nevermore.livejournal.com]

But this week, the Animus took your... cloth.

This must feel embarassing...

[golden_hawke]

I am not shameful.

[feel-nevermore.livejournal.com]

Ah. Good for you then.

[Okay, if she's told that Hawke walks Astri's streets naked all the time. She's never coming out of her bedroom again.]

By the way, I'm Raven. What's your name?

[golden_hawke]

-=He's more respectful than that.=-

I am called Hawke. -=Touches a hand to his chest.=- You are named after a bird as well!

[feel-nevermore.livejournal.com]

[His reaction kind of amuses her. She nods.] Indeed. And one of my teammates as well: he is called Robin.

[Hawke? She frowns. When did she hear that name already?] Ah, wait... Your name is Hawke... Starfyr? Is that it?

[golden_hawke]

-=Now he's really paying attention. Not many know his last name=-

Yes. That is the name my mother gave me.

[feel-nevermore.livejournal.com]

Well, it's nice to meet you.

[She smiles a bit, glad she remembered his name correctly.]

[golden_hawke]

Well met. -=Bows his head formally, making certain his hair is away from his face.=- Others have told you about me then.

[feel-nevermore.livejournal.com]

[She bows her head in return, careful to do it just the way he did.]

Kind of. It's more like they thought I already knew you because one of my teammates' name is "Starfire"... But apart from your name, I haven't been told anything about you. [A shrug.] I guess I'll just have to learn it from you directly.

So... where are you from?

[golden_hawke]

Ah. I have not known another aside from my family the name Starfyr. It is from a world called Arril, but I was born on Earth. I live on Arril, now, in Earth Mountain.

[feel-nevermore.livejournal.com]

Actually, Starfire is her codename, not her real name. And she wasn't born on Earth but on a distant planet called Tamaran.

Ah. And were other people from your world brought here as well?

[golden_hawke]

No. I am the only one. There have been two who have 'visited,' but the Animus was kind enough to not keep them here.

[feel-nevermore.livejournal.com]

I see. ...You're waiting for the Animus to send you back as well, aren't you?

[golden_hawke]

Yes. Until then, I will help where I can while I am here.

[feel-nevermore.livejournal.com]

[She nods.] Hmm. That's my intention as well. This way it will almost feel like... home. [The word is said awkwardly, as if she was just realising now what it is she had back in her world. A home.]

[golden_hawke]

-=There's something that flashes in his eyes. Something that wavers, but he nods a bit.=-

Yes. This place should be made like a home. Helping will improve that.

[feel-nevermore.livejournal.com]

[A weak smile. She never wants to put too much hope in the future. Hope leads to disappointment and disappointment to pain and anger. And that's usually when she loses control of herself and her powers.] At least it can't make it worse. So it's worth trying.

[golden_hawke]

I do not believe we can make this place worse. It is sick. Other people have seen to that. Even though the spirits are angry and frustrated, we should try.

[feel-nevermore.livejournal.com]

[She nods.] Why should we even care if what we do makes them angry and frustrated? We didn't ask to be brought here in the first place. So whatever happens to them, they'll only have themselves to blame.

[golden_hawke]

Mm. Yes. -=but he doesn't completely agree. With a culture that is steeped in spirits and ancestors, he's a little more sympathetic to the Animus' frustrations. Just not how they act out on it.=-
