[Some time after the trial, Zelgadis is outside in the Subnutica park, sitting on a bench with a guitar in his hands. He's playing a melancholy little tune. I'm sorry he's such a stereotypical anime sadman.
The kitten is also here, sometimes hiding under a bench, then suddenly darting to another hiding spot, as if stalking something.
Zelgadis pauses to greet Rynlan when he sees him.]
[hey, what's up, everything sucks. he takes a seat on the bench, though his own cat's not with him. the fact he smells a little like weed still is probably why.]
[he'll listen silently for a while, eyes closed-- it's calming. a little more peaceful. eventually, his ears relax into something more like their normal position, though not exactly.]
It was often called the 'land of eternal spring'. We preserved its weather to keep the Eversong Woods temperate, despite settling at the northern end of the continent.
...it was always peaceful, there, when I was young. Many of our homes even kept curtains in place of doors.
If they're anything like us, not surprising. We usually like to keep to ourselves unless something affects us, the pace of politics and everything for the others is-- a lot.
[humans are really out there doing things SO much with their shorter lifespans.]

... Hey. It's been a long day, huh.

I didn't realize you were a musician.
no subject
I'm not, really. Haven't played in a long time.
no subject
...mind if I listen, for a while?
no subject
[He'll get back to playing for a while. It's this song. He hasn't learned Wonderwall yet, so don't ask.]
no subject
...reminds me of something I might hear at home.
no subject
... What was your home like?

...it was always peaceful, there, when I was young. Many of our homes even kept curtains in place of doors.
no subject
[That's a guess. That sounds very elf-like to his ears.]
... And you preserved the weather... with magic?
no subject
We maintained a well of magic there, something like controlling the weather was simple enough.
no subject
[He sounds casually impressed.]
no subject
[shrugging one shoulder... 'elves are magic as hell' is just standard, for him.]
no subject
[Well, that certainly fits with what they talked about before.]
I don't know if it's the same where I'm from. Don't meet many elves.
no subject
[humans are really out there doing things SO much with their shorter lifespans.]
no subject
[His tone is deadpan as ever.]
no subject
[slightly teasing. a lot of the humans here are fine, honestly, now that they've gotten past 'wow you're a blue elf that's weird'.]
no subject
I'll take that as a compliment.
