getting new mutuals to me is like the joy of a new friend mixed with the panic of “oh god someone’s coming over to my house i need to clean up and hide everything i own” like what if they think i, a user on the Being Weird website, whom they have presumably followed for my weirdness about something or other, am weird? i can’t let that happen

"Well," there's nothing but malicious intent in that tone, "in all of your immortal existence thus far, have you ever loved anyone? Follow up, have you ever lost them to someone else?"

"first of all, how did you know. i didn't- i never- how did you know i was immortal?

.............. and second; ive loved, and ive lost. but that's to be expected really, cant be.... immortal without caring about mortals, ha. ive tried- tried to stop caring, it doesn't really- its not worth it, is what im saying."

Hands walks in front of you, talking to you without turning around. You shouldn't be able to hear them well, but you can. It's like everything they say is engraved straight into your brain.

"I know a lot of things," they start, "would you like to ask the first question, or should I?"

"........... you first, i guess" [xe say, feathers still puffed worriedly]

[nix-rambles]

They purse their lips in thought for a moment before answering.

"I don't know," they shrug, "felt like it'd be more fun as just you and me! There's a lot we can talk about."

They give you a knowing look.

"Like mortality, maybe. The fun stuff, y'know?"

"i... suppose ....? how did you know-"

Hands giggles as they nod. They begin to walk down the path, confident that you'll follow.

"I could be in front of you and still be behind you," they blurt out, "not like it matters much anyway."

"that does not reassure me in the slightest"

"....... why did you yeet shark?"

Hands gestures along the path in front of them.

"You first? or would you like to follow?"

"....... follow i think. i dont- im not sure i trust you behind me"

Hands smiles wider and tilts their head to the side. Their eyes seem to shine with a billion stars,, or is that their tattoo shimmering? Their necklace is glowing still, but is slowly fading in its intensity.

"Some things are much, much bigger than they seem, Felix." Their smile gets wider, their eyes narrower.

Is that face even possible for someone to make? It's clear that Hands isn't human, with the ears and such, but just how inhuman are they?

You never picked up on it before, but now the uncanny valley you get looking at them is overwhelming. They're bigger than the whole world for a moment, but they never changed size. They flicker in and out like a strobe like, shifting rapidly but you can see that they aren't moving; they never changed at all.

And then the necklace goes out, and it's just Hands again. Just a weird elf from somewhere else.

[felix eyes them warily, shuffling back and forth on xyr talons. her wings flutter anxiously, looking out toward where shark disappeared]
