[ His eyes narrow slightly, looking offended and wondering how it's in any way feminine to want to look good and have amazing hair? That's just a boorish thought. ]
Yes, because the women will be crowding around you when you look like an unkempt slouch. How many admirers do you have courting you at the moment?
[ He makes a show of looking around to see if he can find any of these mythical admirers of his. ]
[ Because he sees no issue in actually using language correctly so people can understand him without confusion. Except this man who is apparently confused for reasons Subaki doesn't understand. ]
And there were plenty of women around me earlier. Just as I appeared in the land, the maids were eager to disrobe me and measure me, even fighting over the honor.
For once, you're actually starting to sound sensible. I don't have all night to spend educating you.
[ He can simply do that later, but he'd rather devote this time to looking for his allies as soon as possible, rather than becoming further embroiled in this pointless dispute. ]
I shall be returning to my search then. You can march in the other direction away from me.
[ Oh, that is disgusting... Subaki is having a harder time of holding his stomach in check, unwilling to add vomit to the mess on the ground. That would turn a situation from bad to excruciatingly terrible rather fast.
It seems they'll have to deal with the both birds sooner rather than later, and he bravely sweeps his hands under both the falcon and rooster, holding them a midst all the squawking and feathers being ruffled. It takes every effort to keep them locked in his grip so he can zip towards the window and drop them outside for the time being. It's the best he can do, and he's sure they won't fly away too far... they are their carriers after all. ]
That should do it for now. They can stay out there until this mess is taken care of. I won't have them undoing all of our hard work and ruining our clothes. I had spent so long coordinating everything to capture the perfect look. I won't allow a disobedient fowl mess it up.
[He doesn't even stop Subaki for putting both of those disasters outside. In fact, he sighs with relief now that they aren't in the hall itself. He really hopes this isn't the preamble to the remaining time he'll spend in Cassia, whether or not that means his whole life, but that's not a thought he's going to dwell on on his first day here.
Apollo picks up some of the cleaning supplies once more, after taking a second to calm down from the horror that was the seemingly never-ending poop machine that was their Carriers.]
Uh, right. (I guess no one ever told him "beauty is in the eye of the beholder.") Let's just hurry before we attract a crowd.
[There are people already starting to gather, even more than before. Apollo starts right into it, and with their teamwork, it's all cleaned up before they know it, much to Apollo's relief.]
[ Subaki's arms ache and burn by the time he's done, but at least, there are no more disgusting bird droppings everywhere. He's manages to spare the two of them from a lifetime of embarrassment. ]
We did well with my guidance and leadership.
[ Which is to be expected. ]
I didn't expect you to be such an avid cleaner when I first saw you, but I misjudged you. You're more hard-working than I gave you credit for.
[ He smiles sincerely as he bows towards him. ]
I am Subaki, by the way, retainer to Princess Sakura of Hoshido.
[Apollo wipes his brow, having rolled up his sleeves at this point and unfortunately managed to get a little bit of the excrement on his pants, but nothing too horrible. He knows he's going to have a hell of a time when he gets back to his room.
He also knows that this Subaki guy is totally full of himself. Which when he states he's in the service to a princess, explains everything.
Who even says retainer anymore anyway?]
...Thanks. I'm Apollo Justice, erm...defense attorney to the Wright Anything Agency.
[He's not sure if he should offer a handshake or not.]
[ That is... a thing he doesn't know. His eyebrows scrunch together, repeating the words- ]
Wright... Anything Agency? Do you mean to say you do anything there?
[ Anything anything? Because it doesn't look like he knows how to clean which is a fundamental task. Subaki's also not quite familiar with what an attorney is. Perhaps, it's a fancy way of saying he's a paladin-type warrior of sorts if his expertise is defense. ]
So you are skilled in multiple classes? Is that what you mean to say?
[ Again, he doesn't appear that way nor does he look like he'd make a good paladin. He can't even protect himself from falling excrement. ]
No, no. It's just a name that was given to the office. I also work with two other defense attorneys and a professional magician.
[He realizes, the minute it comes out of his mouth, how strange that must sound. He also realizes he has no clue what Subaki means by multiple classes.]
So, I suppose the Agency is willing to take on people with a wide array of talents.
[ ...No, he's still uncertain what a defense attorney is and if it's a paladin type class or what, but magician is at least somewhat more recognizable. ]
I see. So much like Lord Corrin's army, you collect a variety of classes and specialties, though only the brightest and strongest shine through and get chosen to accompany him in most battles.
[ He smiles, making it obvious that he's among the highest tier and one of the prince's most trusted warriors. ]
I do hope to see you on the battlefield then, so I can see your array of talents as a 'defense attorney.'
[ He shushes her fast, his embarrassment rising slightly again. ]
It won't be much of a secret if we keep mentioning it.
[ As for his carrier ID... he has no idea what it is actually. Where is that dastardly bird of his? His eyes skim the ceiling before spotting it perched on the lighting fixtures. Of course, it'd be hiding after reach. He heaves out an exasperated sigh before trying to whistle gently to it. ]
Come on... is now really the time to be hiding? Do I have to sing to get you down?
[ Not that he minds serenading it with his lovely voice, but now really isn't the time. Fortunately, it seems to favor the spirit more than himself, and it instantly flies to her shoulder and perches there. ]
Is there some trick to these carriers that I am not aware of? Why is this one so ill-bred?
Oh! [She quickly covers her mouth.] A-ah yes. Nothing happened.
[There, she's going to pretend to not know what he's talking about. It's totally the best plan of action! Meanwhile, as he looks for his Carrier...
It seems like it plays hard to get with him, and purposely is nicer to her. Or at least that's what she's getting.]
Hello... [She greets the Carrier, wondering if she could pet its little head, so she sticks her hand one to try.] Mine is a bird too, but it is...always staring off somewhere. [And she gestures to her own, just sitting by the table. Staring. That's Flappy Bird.]
They seem to behave like pets. Our sassy companions. My roommate, his is a little fairy that is occasionally rude to him.
[ Well, maybe his situation isn't that bad after all. He's not sure if he'd enjoy a fairy's cruelty constantly buzzing in his ear over his bird's occasional high-pitched squawk. On the other hand, her friend might have been rude to the fairy first. It's difficult to judge, but he's fortunate his bird has the good sense not to talk. ]
I assume in time and with good training, the bird will become the perfect carrier and pet. I can think of no one better to instill discipline in it than I.
[ He'll just have to reinforce good behavior until its little bird brain adapts.
His finger reaches out, letting the bird hop onto it before smiling gratefully. ]
He's already way calmer than he was upon arrival, and should you ever need me to come to your rescue, do call for Subaki.
[ Because he's nothing if not gallant, and he hopes the image of him as a heroic rescuer will outshine the image of him as a glutton. May that memory leave him be once and for all. ]
[Having a carrier that can't talk might actually be a blessing in disguise. Sometimes pets are the best companions...or the worst ones. Imagine the judgment!]
You are a knight, no? I think you'll definitely be the best teacher. Perhaps it just needs to warm up to you first.
[And see, look how it obediently moves over to his finger. She believes in him already.
Now here is the thing. A gallant knight can definitely be a hungry glutton as well. After all, he trains hard and probably needs a lot to eat. It's only human, and she appreciates that, truly. It's not a bad look at all. Possibly even more heroic on her eyes.]
Subaki? Alright. In that case, to call for me, you need only say Vietnam.
[Flappy Bird stares off into the distance when it hears that.]
[ He smiles and waves to her as he walks away, pleased to have acquired at least one new ally here. It's better than his other interactions have gone so far. Not everyone is quite as friendly, but he supposes land spirits do inherently have to possess some degree of altruism if they are to protect and guide the people within.
No, he still has no idea what she actually is, but he's sticking with the definition that makes the most sense in his head. ]

(no subject)
Date: 2016-07-29 06:42 am (UTC)I don't see any chicks following you around either, for that matter.
[So none. Their rather immature argument IS starting to attract a crowd, though.]

Date: 2016-08-04 12:17 am (UTC)[Side eyeing the crowd. This isn't the impression he wanted to make here.]
Hey look, we're both under a lotta pressure right now. Weird circumstances and all.
Why don't we just, like, let it go at this before one of us throws a punch and the bouncers throw us both out on the street?

(no subject)
Date: 2016-08-08 01:48 am (UTC)Good enough for me.
[Lucio spun around and did indeed actually march with exaggerated precision in the other direction away from him.]
