Sound of silence

[innocent_insanity]

WHO: Kurloz and you
TONE: Light? Sombre? Contemplative?
RATING: PG-13 for language
WHEN: 18th January - early evening
WHERE: School hallways
WHAT: Kurloz is sitting by one of the windows, sketching the winter scenery outside as well as whatever catches his fancy. Approach for a portrait? Ask to see his pictures? Stare curiously at the mute kid??
STATUS: Ongoing

Kurloz still wasn't sure how he'd convinced his mother to let him stay at Hogwarts (for now) but he figured he'd have to thank his local healer who'd informed her that it would be unwise to move the boy so soon to an unfamiliar location when he had only just begun to re-establish his friendships and function as a healthier teenage boy again. He was grateful though, and was happy to be back at school, even if his mother had been a bit more wet-eyed than usual when sending him back.

It was peaceful that evening, and Kurloz had found himself a nice window-space in the hallway to stare out into the darkening grounds outside, idly sketching out the scene in his sketchbook.

He just stood there awkwardly, fiddling with the hem of his robe sleeve as the other boy looked him over. They're all metal and leather and clockwork, well crafted despite the light dings here and there.

"Since a little before, I came to be at Hogwarts. I am muggleborn so, uh... I got help, so I could be made able to come here easier."

[innocent_insanity]

dunno if a fucker like me could manage that. takes guts, bro.

[littlefairybull]

"What do you mean? You can, uh... probably do, anything you wanted to do."

[innocent_insanity]

not brave enough to do that shit, bro.

He smiled and shrugged, rubbing the back of his neck.

[littlefairybull]

"I don't see, how it's being brave." For him it was more the excitement of being able to walk again.

"I just did, what I had to do."

[innocent_insanity]

not a whole lot of people what can even do that, seriously.

Like himself, he couldn't bring himself to talk even though his tongue and voice box were in perfect working condition, but he didn't bring it up.

[littlefairybull]

"I think, if you believe hard enough in something, it will make it to be less false. To make it real, needs a lot of believing." It was easy enough to say, but for him it's easy to believe wholeheartedly in something. As long as that something isn't himself.

Kurloz tilted his head curiously and smiled a bit before writing:

like fairies?

[littlefairybull]

That earned Kurloz a grin. "Especially fairies!"

[innocent_insanity]

Shoulders shaking with silent laughter, he nodded mutely, finding Tavros' grin adorable. He wouldn't mind seeing it more often, actually.

[littlefairybull]

Tavros is, as always, completely oblivious to any adorableness he may possess. "So I think, maybe you can try to believe in something as hard as can be, until it's a little more true, at a time. I mean, I can walk again and found out magic is real."
