( don't take it personally, sasuke. aspen's entire social circle is made up of warriors and one very traumatized and knife-wielding bird. he expects everyone to immediately attack the "problem".
his gaze drifts out of the corner of his eye to sasuke when he speaks, but he doesn't immediately act. he's diplomatic politeness as opposed to sasuke's understandable and blunt caution; he debates continuing to sit and letting sasuke take care of it.
he did admit to not being particularly combat-savvy. his best trait is to keep puck entertained by being a good audience. ... and yet... )
You're certain it's someone else entirely? Does it feel like an illusion or another one of us? ( his voice is soft, hushed, and he doesn't entirely look away from puck. he looks enraptured, from a normal bystander's view. very few would understand how rigid his spine is and the way his wings are spread to hide some of sasuke from view - as if protecting him in his own way. )
