Asechel's face fell at what should have just been seen as a joking comment [color=f26522]"You wouldn't be the first one to..."[/color] He forced out a laugh, passing it off as a joke as he did not want to start unloading emotional baggage onto hopefully-maybe-friends on the first day they met. In fact, he'd be delighted to never bring it up again in his entire life. He was sure they were his parents, he had the birth records and the years of 'family bonding' to prove it, but aside from the faunus traits he shared with his mother and skin tone and eyes of his father, he was clearly an odd spot for the family. At times, he even suspected his parents doubted it, but he'd never say those suspicions out loud. [color=f26522]"Uh, got it!"[/color] He nodded, offering a sheepish smile at the compliment. [color=f26522]"I try?"[/color]

And within the span of a minute, Cinna had spouted off a goodbye and jolted off to find much cooler looking people. Not that Aeschel blamed her, the guy he spotted her heading towards did have that sort of look about him, though something told Aeschel that the man was judging him. But that was just the paranoia. [color=f26522]"Bye then... Nice to meet you..."[/color] She wanted to meet him when they land? How was he expected to find her in this crowd of people? Sometimes, Aeschel did seem to forget that no matter how small he tried to make himself, him and his bright bushy tail stuck out like a sore thumb. [color=f26522][i]She wants to meet again, that's a good sign[/i][/color] But once more, Aeschel was left alone in a suffocating silence, as much as he was afraid of talking and offending others, he was starting to realize that the uncertainty of what to do next was uncomfortable. And reaching into his bag and taking out his puppet collection so he could talk to himself was not an option.

Not that there was anything wrong with that. It was a perfectly normal thing to do. Unfortunately, during his thoughts, his body decided to move closer to the ramp where everyone would get off at the journey's and. And when his body acted without much thought, his tail would soon screw something up, or in this case, the bright orange sorry sight of fur would bump into a random tiger Faunus nearby. It was extremely rude. [color=f26522]"Ah! God, sorry!" [/color]
