‘ i feel a responsibility to do what’s upstanding and right. ’

@rubiesintherough

"Good for you, pal. And what, as the kids say, the fuck is that?" Morality was a sort of sliding spectrum in Dean's experience. He couldn't always pinpoint his own ethics, let alone someone else's, and monsters of any kind tended not to think in the same terms as a human.

Not because they were worse by nature--humans could be plenty terrible all on their own, and he'd met monsters who just wanted to live peaceful lives--but because "right" looked like a lot of things depending on where you were standing. He had no fucking idea where this guy was standing.

i just had the most aedusy aedus thought i've ever thunk in my life...

this ancient fiery birb comes home one day after being out shopping, to find a guy ransacking his living room, in the process of robbing him. Aedus gets a gun pointed at him... and, instead of calling the cops, or fighting this guy, he just goes and makes tea which really confuses the robber. And Aedus just... offers him a cup like they're buddies, completely ignoring the gun in his face, and sits down and just... invites the robber to chat.

And the poor would-be burglar is so confuddled and confused he takes the cup, and sits down, and actually starts talking to Aedus. Admits that he's stealing to make ends meet and care for his family. So, Aedus gets up, and grabs his checkbook, and just asks how much his new friend needs, completely flabbergasting the guy even more. And robber leaves with a check to cash, and probably a pocket full of whatever pastries Aedus decided to make that day bc he likes baking in general and will pawn them off on everyone and anyone.

Also you know for a fact they actually become friends and the burglar brings his family over for dinner at Aedus's place every week, and Aedus goes all out with like a 5 course meal... they just never admit how they met.

Idk, I had this thought and it's just... very much smth he would do.

rubiesintherough asked: ❛  is there anything you need? anything i can do for you?  ❜ ( aedus )

A SHAKE OF her head was given as she directed her gaze over to the phoenix. She did not want for or need anything ~ well, not that she would send Aedus off to get, anyway. Never one to ask for help, Sima was the helper, the fixer, the one who helped everyone else, even though she probably needed the help the most at times.

Right now, however, she was just glad to have him as a friend and to have his company. She was also glad that Phen had him to look after her, Sima was incredibly protective of her baby sister, and with good reason, so to know that she was deeply cared for by someone like Aedus lifted a small weight off Sima's chest.

Sima would still come by when Phen regressed; it was a force of habit above anything, but Sima had been the one who had gone through such moments the most with her sister over the millennia, so it was perhaps understandable why she continued to be present during the moments.

Luckily, the firebird was sound asleep in her nest for the time being, leaving both Sima and Aedus to relax for a bit ( or at least partly relax, anyway ) and just have the time to chat with one another. Come to think of it, maybe there was something. Sima would not say no to a warm drink. " Are you heading to make a drink at all? --- I would not be opposed to a coffee... I'll remain here and watch over her if you like, whilst you do? "

“My love, are you sitting down?” ( aedus )

’Lines that have made me cry at one point’ starters!

@rubiesintherough

It was not often he accosted her with such questions. Juliette paused, delicate fingers in the process of typing out a message on her phone. Aedus had been placed on speaker while she moved through her apartment, bent on finding a shirt she was sure she had just seen the other day…

So when he asked if she was sitting, Julie jumped. She squinted, then rapidly booted the video-chat. Now he was faced with a confused mute who made a very clear point to sit down in view of the camera.

After some adjusting, she grabbed her tripod and set her phone up so she could sign at him through the phone. 

“Is everything okay?!”

Concern etched itself across her freckled features. Juliette frowned deeply.

“Do you need me to come over there?”

send  [cuddle] : a gentle cuddle between our muses turns sexual (Felicity and Aedus)

@painofhumanity

A quiet night together was always welcome, and a preferable way to spend an evening, in the phoenix's opinion. He and Felicity both, reclined together on his sofa, the soft crackling of the fireplace across the room filling the room with a gentle music. His arms around her. Chatting about nothing much. Bouts of quiet laughter interrupted by peppered kisses... growing deeper, joined slowly by wandering hands and hitching breath.

" Do you want me to touch you here, love? " Aedus's hand hovering, pausing above her core, awaiting sweet permission. Golden eyes almost pleading, begging, ' please, let me give you pleasure. '

[rubiesintherough]

There was a rowdiness as soon as the cafe door was opened today, a bickering of identical voices. Coming in revealed the proprietor, doubled, standing on either side of the counter. Same image, down to the outfit.

"I don't really give a damn what you're doing," the Hanekoma behind the counter said, "just leave me outuvit."

"Aren't we supposed to be gettin' along now?" The one on the outside of the counter barked back. "Why the hell are you being so stuffy about it?"

"Because, we --" and his voice stopped short as his eyes drifted over to the door, catching sight of the man in the doorway. "Oh goddammit."

The second turned to follow his gaze and grinned wide, "Oh, shit! A customer! Aaah, we can explain!"

The first swatted the second's shoulder and glared, "This is why. You come here, you gotta... agh, nevermind. Hey, Hinotori. This is, uh..."

"I'm 'is twin brother!" The second chirped. "Pleased to meetcha! Everyone calls me Espresso~"

The first Hanekoma sighed and passed his hand over his face. -> Aedus

@strawberry-barista

It certainly wasn't what he was expecting to see when he wandered down for a chat... And he stopped short in the doorway, blinking in confusion at the sight before him. Unsure if he'd somehow bumped his head unknowingly on his way here. That had to be the reason he was suddenly seeing double...? No, ah, twin. Twin made much more sense. And Aedus responded to that information by striding forward, hand outstretched in greeting.

" Pleasure to meet you. Aedus. " And with a glance toward who he now understood to be his Hanekoma, noticing that he seemed overtly less than excited to have family here. Aedus couldn't fault him for that. If there was one who understood, it was him. " I wasn't aware you had company, very sorry to intrude. Would you like me to come back later? "

Words veiled with a hint of ' do you need me to save you from this socializing? '

[ 🐾 ]ㅤ.ㅤdo animals like them instinctively ? — for Aedus!

@dollhidden

For the most part, yes! He gets along pretty well with animals. He, of course, stops and pets dogs he meets when he goes for walks and chats with their owners. He has a birdfeeder hanging from his balcony and has made friends with a couple of the neighborhood crows... leaves them cracked corn and peanuts on the railing, and they bring him back bottlecaps.

Back when he lived in the woods, way back in the day, he minded his business and let the wildlife mind theirs... enjoyed a cup of coffee on his deck while blackbears, and deer, and elk, wandered through the yard. Just very chill when it comes to animals, and they return the favor.

(( @tuppencetrinkets sent ---  “ i miss you and i can’t sleep . ” wynonna & aedus ))

The earliest hours of the morning were certainly Aedus’s least favorite of the day... times when MOST of humanity were home, tucked away in bed And leaving the phoenix with little to do beside page through old tomes he’d read already throughout the centuries, or jump from channel to channel on the television in search of something of interest, or, were he feeling bold, take to the street for a walk.    Though, tempting as that last option sounded... Aedus was well aware it could end with trouble.  A mugging perhaps. And he was of no mind to be shot at the moment. It would, undoubtedly, ruin his clothing and leave him with the unpleasant business of having to pluck a bullet free and mend himself... 

                         Still... it would give him something to do. 

Hand was already reaching for his coat when the shrill ring of his telephone made him start. Plan paused, he answered it, surprised to hear her voice at this late, late hour. Even more so to hear that admission.    “ Well, if you would like, I could make my way there for a chat? You did just happen to catch me preparing to step out for some air. Impeccable timing on your part, I might add. “   A smile was evident in his voice... for a moment before he leaned himself against the wall, expression shifting to one of concern.   “ Though, do you mind if I ask... it’s hardly like you to call like this, Wynonna, is everything alright? “

Yule cat -Aedus

(( @moonbeammuses — folklore questions ))

Yule Cat: what sort of gift would your muse most like to receive? Do they tend to like more practical or frivolous things?

Gift shopping for this phoenix is a tall order. Not because he’s picky — he would fully appreciate any gift — but, because there’s really nothing he’d need.  And if asked, that’s exactly what he would say. He’s loaded as far as money goes. A low-key millionaire. So, if there’s something he really wants, which is rare, he’ll usually just buy it for himself?  

He definitely leans toward the practical side. Really, the most expensive thing he’s ever bought for himself are his clothes, and that’s just ‘cause he spent a lot of time and effort ensuring his body looks precisely how he wanted it to, so he wants to accentuate that work and only wear things that make him look good. 

I guess if there’s one thing he definitely likes for gifts, it’d be old Irish whiskey. He loves having a glass of it in the evening to unwind from the day, and would never turn down the gift of a bottle of it. But, for him, the best gifts aren’t material things. He’d much rather his present be someone’s company, like spending an evening with him for dinner and chatting, rather than them spending money on him.

"I get that a lot," he deadpanned. Dean had been framed for more than his fair share of murders because of that tendency to show up when bodies were dropping. He didn't cause the terrible things to happen-- usually. He was just trying to clean them up and put down the things responsible. But, y'know, try explaining a skinwalker stole my face and used it to commit murder to the local police.

"Pleasant," he echoed skeptically, raising an eyebrow. He knew a lot of hunters. Even the ones who were his friends, he would hesitate to call pleasant. At best, they were a rough and grumbly lot. At worst, they'd tried to kill him.

As he'd said, though, it was really neither here nor there. Dean might be watching him like a hawk the whole time, but he wasn't going to turn down help, especially when he wasn't sure precisely what had happened here. "Alright… Do you know what we're looking for?"

@rubiesintherough

"You realize that's kinda suspicious, you showing up to 'help' when there are bodies on the ground." He didn't lose his suspicious frown, but his hand eased off the weapon he'd automatically reached for at the sight of a stranger. To his credit, he hadn't actually pulled it, but the instinct was there. If a hunter wasn't paranoid, they were usually dead.

"You don't sound like a hunter." Most of them didn't kid themselves that they were doing the most good or the least harm, or whatever that was about. That sounded more like a crusade, but as long as it didn't get him or other people dead, Dean didn't really care how he justified it.
