❥───────────────────── 🦚 Cerul 🦚 


꧁~ There was only one place Cerul hadn't been to in this rotten little drab town, and it was the docks! She had a job here, but it was a relatively quick one that was done fast. He had a long list on him, with a name and location marked not far from where Cerul stood right now. It was just a mail list, and Cerul had already dropped the letter off so there was no need to be stressed...

꧁~ The best part about being in a new area is nobody expected you to be there! So Cerul was relatively worry free; no need to panic about that bumbling cactus arresting her over some false claim this time! So Cerul was free as a bird; a beautiful bird~. Cerul was fancied up like always, jewelry on the tips of head feathers and a pearl necklace around her neck. The sun was up hanging high in the air, and both the water and sky was as brilliantly blue as Cerul's perfect feathers.

*The docks being the one place unvisited didn't hold as true for a certain Gardevoir. She had a fairly long list of places, a list of places to go and already visited places. Though it wasn't a written list, just a list of thought, recognizing the features of certain places. She didn't have any requirements to fill unlike the bird, so she was fairly aimless, just checking out and keeping note of places.*

*Walking though the docks, Sawyer rummaged through her bag, constantly recounting the coins she had to her name, hoping that a new coin would randomly appear, though that and her clothes in the bag as well remained a constant. After a bit, she closed the bag, sighing softly. Seeing as nothing was going to change, she began looking around for a place to sit and rest, after all she had been walking for a long while now...*

*She had randomly picked an area to sit, sitting down with her back propped up against on of the abandoned stands, setting her bag to her side. She rubbed her face, groaning, before streeetching. Afterwards, she simply looked around, taking in and admiring the scenery. This was definitely not a bad place to rest for now...*

❥───────────────────── 🦚 Cerul 🦚 


꧁~ Looking away from the water for a moment, peeling her awful snooty rich gaze away from the shore, Cerul spotted Sawyer. . . Suddenly, the air seemed to shift, a foreboding aura permeated around. The town had undoubtedly been spreading gossip about Cerul being there; 'a high class neonian? Arrested?' 'I heard he broke down the mayor's door...', it certainly made Cerul a lot more intimidating than he tried to be. But today was different, Cerul was in a better mood than usual!

 ◈ **"Enjoying one of the few nice places in this town?"** Cerul said, approaching Sawyer with a trademarked rich person sneer. **"I couldn't help but notice you, your earrings are absolutely adorable~. I'm Cerul, and you are?"** Cerul spoke, words honeyed up with sugar, trying to cajole good tidings out of Sawyer with a compliment. The bird outstretched a puffy cloud wing to shake Sawyer's hand.

꧁~ Cerul only complimented sawyer because he perceived her as dignified. Why, only a sensible person like Cerul or this gardevior would lounge somewhere so *Dignified*, or wear something like jewelry to distinguish themselves amongst the low lives of Fey~. At least, that's how Cerul saw it, she didn't know for certain if Sawyer was from somewhere outside of Fey.

*Sawyer didn't know of much gossip if any. She may have known a little from what her mother or father had spoke to each other about and she over heard, but other than that she didn't know much, and definitely nothing of Cerul. She sat there, looking off into a direction that didn't include the bird in her vision, taking off her gloves slowly and clumsily as she wasn't entirely paying attention to getting them off. Eventually the gloves were taken off.*

*She glanced over as a voice spoke. She considered that it was most likely directed at her as the voice was close, and there was nobody else around. Noticing Cerul, caused her to stumble over a response she was formulating in her mind for a moment, but she quickly spit something out.* "Uhm, yeah haha... Yeah it's, it's nice out here-." *She nodded gently as she spoke, before the compliment caused her to blush, responding immediately with a* "T- thank you-... I'm, I'm Sawyer. N- nice to meet you Cerul-..." *She looked at their wing for a moment, before taking it and shaking it.*

*Sawyer was somewhat far from dignified. For one, she was fairly young, still only a teenager. Despite that she had some good fashion sense, mostly coming from her stepmother. She might of been on the same level as normal people in Fey regardless of the fashion sense though as her family was simply middle class, and out here she hadn't more than some Poke to her name.*

꧁~ If Sawyer was your average Fey citizen, she'd be unable to tell. Cerul saw people as rich or wet sponges, diamonds or another wet sponge, et cetera~! There wasn't much wrong with being a wet sponge, just that Cerul didn't want to have anything to do with them. 

◈ **"You've got the best view right now, keen eye if I do say."** Cerul liked to think he had a keen eye, after all the earrings he designed were custom made! But apart from jewels, Cerul was hopeless and blind. Carlisle was the only thing that helped steer Cerul when Cerul couldn't steer herself.

꧁~ Cerul's family was more clear cut than Sawyer's. Mother, Father, and Cerul. There were the few dozens of servants, but Cerul didn't consider them anything more than 'employees', maybe Carlisle, but he wasn't the same as family... More just an... Executive servant, a close but not quite friend! Cerul didn't have friends!.. Which is why Cerul was happy to meet someone at least half way to dignified around Fey. To Cerul, Sawyer might as well be the diamond in the roughest rough that ever roughed!

◈ **"I'll just sit right here~"** Cerul plopped herself a few feet from Sawyer. **"So what brings you around here, Miss Sawyer? Just the view?"**

*Sawyer was a bit more of a mess than any average Fey citizen, but it all really depends on what your definition of 'average Fey citizen' really is. Maybe they're all messes in your book.*

*She looked off into the distance, nodding gently as Cerul spoke. Keen eye indeed; whether or not Sawyer meant to come to such a beautiful spot, it didn't change the fact that it was a sight to behold.* "I could... Sit and stare for hours... If I really wanted to, haha..." *She said slowly as her mind was split between watching the water and speaking her mind.* "B- but I've got things to do, so I can't..." *Sigh*

*Wow, that's cool Cerul, all those servants, jewelry, and wealth. Too bad that's some rich people bullshit, and rich people are cringe. She couldn't relate in the slightest to the cloud bird. The most they had in common was the fact that they wore earrings and that they breathed oxygen, otherwise their lives were completely different. Though, her family was at least easy to follow like Cerul's: father, (dead) mother, stepmother, Sawyer. The only thing rough about Sawyer was her family issues... Or maybe her hair; her hair was usually a bit messy, especially when letting it completely loose.*

*She didn't have any objections to Cerul sitting close by.* "Uhm..." *She thought for a moment, debating if it was wise to tell the truth to someone she had just met. Soon enough, she caved and simply spilled the beans* "N- not really... I'm h- here because I- I ran from my h- home. B- bad parents... I've j- just been moving a- around looking for a new p- place to stay..." *She said, closing her eyes and dropping her head a little bit.* "W- what about you-?" *She asked, attempting to pull the conversation into a not so sullen direction.*

꧁~ The gentle sway of the window blew passed, pushing more water against the bank and splashing up the walls. The way the sun seemed to catch every drop of water and reflect its own rainbow. Such a spot was photo perfect! Maybe that's why Cerul had such an issue peering at Sawyer and recognizing that trademarked Fey citizen... 'earthyness'. If you asked Cerul what an average fe citizen was to him, and scanned his brainwaves, it'd come out as a crudely drawn children's drawing of a garbage bag. Sawyer didn't look like a garbage bag! Well, at least on first appraisal she didn't.

◈ **"Yeah well... Uh-... Parents suck, what can you do."** Cerul avoided eye contact.

꧁~ Cerul seemed to genuinely catch herself empathizing, if even for a moment. 'Bad parents'. Hmm... Cerul's brain ticked for a few seconds before restarting itself. Worrying herself with Sawyer's problems, and by some extension her own, was just so trifling. Why, worrying about potential neglect just caused stress lines... And sadness... And Cerul didn't want to think about that! Nope! Not one eency bit. Besides, Cerul's parents gave him money, private tutors and all the toys he wanted... That's good parenting, yeah?

◈ **"Me~?"** She perked right up. **"I'm here on a job. Unfortunately, a lot of mail comes through these parts. And because it's some 'biiiig important family venture' I have to do this."** Cerul gave a big exhausted sigh.

*She listened contently to the sounds of the water, splashing up loudly before softly and carefully drawing away. Such sounds enjoyable without even seeing the visual, better yet you could close your eyes and imagine the scene up close. Luckily, Sawyer didn't have to drift off and daydream as it was right before her eyes, and yet somehow she didn't not pick up on any of the snarky rich kid gestures such as their nasty sneer. Speaking of nasty, Sawyer definitely didn't look like a garbage bag, but she sure felt like one in all senses of the phrase garbage bag.*

"Some parents... M- my real mother was t- the best... T- then, she p- passed... S- sickness got her..." *She sighed softly* "T- then my st- stepmom c- came along... W- worst person I've e- ever met..." *She said, looking down again. It was hard to tell if she was resentful or worryful of her stepmother. One thing was for sure though, not a very cool mom.* 

*Looking back up, she nodded as they spoke about parcels, not particularly interesting as everyone gets mail. She tilted her head a slight bit at one of the points though.* "Family venture? Like what kind?" *She asked with the utmost curiosity. Whatever would keep the bird carrying the conversation rather than her. She wanted to sparingly use the things that she did have to talk about, because there sure wasn't a surplus...*

◈ **"Hm? Oh well, adventuring and doing mail orders outside of Neone, of course~. My parents weren't born like I was; they can't fly in any given weather. Rain could mess with the vision or flying ability, but not me. I'm~just~better~ 🎵 "** Cerul hummed graciously. **"So they send me out and about all across Hecatia for work. Such trifling stuff it is..."**

꧁~ Cerul was busy checking if his makeup looked right with a small delicately crafted compact mirror when Sawyer's body language shifted. She caught it all in the corner of the mirror; Sawyer sinking down, sighing, slowly becoming the depiction of a different kind of garbage bag. A really blue, sad, pathetic kind of garbage bag, one that everyone, not just Fey citizens, were capable of becoming. Cerul let the taste of the atmosphere settle in his mouth and made a disgusted look... Blegh, the vibe was all off right now.

꧁~ But even as heartless as the rich could be, something tugged at Cerul to at least be a little charitable.

◈ **"Chin up, okay? Convoluted doesn't look good on you, or anyone for that matter."** As blunt as it was, that was Cerul's way of throwing a bone. It wasn't very sympathetic, or even empathetic, but its the best one could get out of this irritable blue bird. Cerul searched for a way to steer the conversation from this topic, and suddenly a brilliant idea popped into his brain! **"Where'd you get your earings from? The ones I have on my head feathers I had custom made~. Prettiest azure gem stones I've ever seen."**
