Went to a different woods today, not far away, and saw some good birds.
This is a rufus-sided or eastern towhee, a recently returned migrant. They dig in the leaves with both feet. I let the video go on for a few seconds because at the end it makes the sound that got it its name.
"...?"
A newly made person, something called a human, looked up at Lucifer with curious, bright eyes. With a tilt of his head, he made a questioning noise, his mussed hair accenting his features. It gave him a baby deer quality, awkward and absurdly cute.
'Who and what are you?' The being inquired non-verbally.
(Adam when he meets Lucifer for the first time :3)

「 ☆ 」 This is incredible… He loves it here. With every shred of his heavenly being, the smallest angel absolutely LOVES it. This place, brimming and blossoming and bewitching with possibility! It’s a rush unlike any other whenever something new is welcomed into the universe. What was once a dark expanse of suffocating nothingness slowly but surely being filled— improved with these pockets of breath. Of LIFE. He can’t understand how the others refrain from doing somersaults in the air with each new addition to the carefully-curated canvas of creation.
He doesn’t want to understand.
Giddily flapping his wings to get a better view as dust is pulled into yet another wonder— creation having no shortage of ideas —wide eyes behold what has to be his favorite yet. He’s uncertain why. Surely any of the other creatures conceived are just as worthy of the title. Each of them remarkable in their own right. But even-so, as blue hues ( reflecting the glow of the sun, as if a piece of the sky itself was broken off to allow him the gift of seeing what was birthed beneath it ) focus upon the stranger… Samael knows it’s true.
With a flash of light, angelic form shifts into something closer to this newfound design, the small male swooping down with a beaming grin. Flying around the stranger in a few excited circles— not considering how disorienting it may be —he studies the ❛ human ❜ with a curious chitter. For something so similar, it's also remarkably different. Hair alone is a stark contrast to the heavenly being. So dark compared to golden strands. So messy beside perfectly-fluffed locks...
Sucking in a breath, wide eyes sparkle with newfound light when an unfamiliar voice enters his mind. Glancing around to ensure it's only the two of them, Samael bites his bottom lip to choke back a trill of delight when he sees the other angels off in the distance. Busy tending to the needs of the sanctuary, ensuring it truly has all a human could possibly need... Still, the angel keeps his responses non-verbal as well, not wanting to risk being interrupted during this pivotal moment.
❛ I am Samael... and I'm an Angel. ❜
Hands press into his chest as he introduces himself, smile transforming from overjoyed to comforting as he beholds the delightfully-curious creature. Arms extend to his sides in a dramatic gesture, large wings keeping his petite form afloat to help him reach the taller male's gaze. ❛ Welcome. To your home. To existence! ❜ Grandeur fading, he leans forward and takes the stranger's hands in his own. Giving them an encouraging squeeze as he reverently communicates,
if phil ever makes chirps of content durring their hugs, ik damn well that etoiles lights up like a christmas tree because (either out loud or in his head) he's like "oh i know what that means !!! :D" from picking up avian tendencies with baghera - 💿
THIS, THISSS!!!!
Phil making lil happy chirping and cooing noises when he hugs people he trusts a lot, enjoys being around, etc. >>>>>>
Etoiles just getting so excited but trying to contain said excitement so he doesn‘t disturb the hug, but it‘s so obvious by the way his tail is aggressively wagging behind him.
Pls I need Etoiles to witness Phil in his birb arc
I never really super got into Percabeth when I was reading the books. I saw it and understood, but it was nothing interesting like ever. But now in the tv series, I fucken get it. These two actors are really making it happen, they give the looks and speak the words so good, and the rewriting to the characters and their relationships is so perfect. Riordan really said: I’m fixing up my threads, and I have the perfect cast to help me.
