Action

[Eleytheria was very confused. Never mind that he had just woken up half-naked, his old clothes piled up neatly beside him, he was more worried about the fact that he was away from his world. He had helped to maintain Aether for thousands of years, and this was not his forest.

Then there was that... feeling, as though something were on his back. He felt behind him, then looked to see a pair if small white and gold wings resting there. He stretched them out, testing them, trying to learn to control them. They were every bit a part of him, but at the same time they felt alien. He had not put them there. He could not force them to go away. What was happening here? What strange force had torn a Spirit from his world and altered him like this?

After dressing himself to try to feel at least a little bit more normal, noticing the new holes in his clothing for the wings to slip through, Eleytheria looked down to find a book. Curious, he reached down to pick it up and flicked through it. He wasn't sure if he really understood what he was seeing...]

-Later-

[As Eleytheria wanders through the forest, trying to work out the journal he's carrying, he soon finds himself on the outskirts overlooking the village. So there are people here... Since he's unsure about just walking right into town with no idea of what kind of people he should expect, he decides to sit somewhere at the edge and observe from a distance for now.

It's then he notices that the book is also filled with people. Perhaps they all use the books to talk to one another. He could try to use his own to talk and learn more about this place.]

Voice

I am afraid that I am unfamiliar with these lands. I am lost. I am changed. These new wings of mine will not alter or fade away as I please. While I waste time trying to find answers here, my own world will be thrown into turmoil. The planet and its people will die without me. I must find a way back, no matter what the cost. As there must be people here, I look to you for help.

I... do not understand what has happened. What do I do next?

(OOC: The first part is just a description of Eley arriving! Any action will take place during the 'Later' part as he sits on the outskirts of the village. Feel free to go poke him~ Or just voice him if you want to chat. He'll come out more as he learns more.)

Hmm? Oh, this? It's a handshake. [pause, still smiling.] ... Something wrong?

[Rudy had to admit, that was quite the unexpected response. Could it be... maybe he doesn't know what handshakes are?]

[Action]

[winds_voice]

...but your hand is not shaking. And, what would it mean if it was?

[Yes he is very confused at this point, Rudy.]

[Action]

[ofwesternwinds]

[Looks like his guess was right. Whoops, what to do.]

Well... you have to take it first. It's just a friendly gesture. [...] Here, I'll show you.

[He'll try to motion Eleytheria to take his hand. A demonstration would probably work best instead of attempting to explain it.]

[Action]

[winds_voice]

[Ah... a friendly gesture? Well, Rudy had been friendly towards him and more than helpful. It... seemed suitable enough.

So he nodded, and took the boy's hand, wondering just what was expected of him next.]

[Action]

[ofwesternwinds]

[That's it, you've got it! When Eleytheria takes his hand, Rudy will give it a gentle, but firm handshake.]

It's good to meet you, Eleytheria. [There, now we've got it! Smiling, he'll finally let go of the other man's hand after that.] Anyway, have you been to the village yet?

[Action]

[winds_voice]

[Oh... a handshake. Yes, that made sense. At least by description. He would have to remember this for later, should anyone else offer their hand and he deems them good enough to receive the gesture.]

It is... good to meet you too. [He says, assuming that was the appropriate response! He looked back to the village though and shook his head.] Not yet. I wanted to learn more about this place before venturing too close.
