Having wings magically sprout from your back was something Izu wasn't really familiar with, and they felt weird. They didn't have any sort of weight to them, but holy shit were they big. Nearly as big as Izu was tall, if anyone were to try and measure.<span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="color: #008000">"Izu, let's go inside, alright?"</span></span>Alida stated softly, grabbing his hand gently and leading him away as the guards swarmed in behind the two. Once inside, Alida pelted the young man with a question. Izu could only really shrug in response,<span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="color: #BF0000">"I'm not sure how to explain it. I feel a connection that I've never felt before. It's like an emotion though, not some weird magical driving force. It's..."</span></span>Izu struggled to look for the word,<span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="color: #BF0000">"It just feels natural. Like it's always been there but for whatever reason, I had just sort of tuned it out."</span></span><br/><br/>Izu looked over Alida with a strange fascination behind his gaze, though he wasn't really looking at her. He was just so mesmerized by the radiance that he could feel emanating from her, he ended up tuning out everything else except for that single feeling. He could feel every emotion that Alida was feeling at that moment, though not as individual emotions. It all cascaded together into a singular feeling and emotion that was unique to Alida and no one else.<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="color: #008000">"It isn't fair,"</span></span>exclaimed Alida with a sudden pout,<span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="color: #008000">"Yours are prettier than mine..."</span></span>Izu looked over his partner, still perplexed by the new feelings that rushed in and out of his being so freely. One thing was certain though, and that was that Alida was still rather put off by her wings. Izu was about to try and comfort her with a touch to the shoulder before her radiance shifted once again. Izu paused slightly, sensing that his partner was shifting her thought patterns through the connection they shared.<span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="color: #008000">"Let's go to my room,"</span></span>Alida demanded as she grabbed Izu's hand once again, leading him through the winding tree.<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="color: #BF0000">"So that's what your jealousy feels like, huh? Powerful stuff."</span></span>Izu prodded with a slight chuckle, having a bit of fun with this new connection he felt. Alida pouted a bit, but Izu channeled his inner 80's smooth-guy and made a move on the girl. Sliding towards her with an exaggerated step, Izu winked at her before meandering (me-an-der-ing?) over the the plain bed and laying on it seductively, giving it a pat. He had no intentions of doing anything naughty, but Alida liked it when he was silly. So silly he would be. To add to the situation, Izu peered over his shoulder and, with an obviously large amount of effort, stretched one of his wings out as if to say,<span style="font-style: italic">come hither and lay</span>.<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="color: #BF0000">"You know, these things are a lot harder to use than I would have ever imagined possible."</span></span>
