Who: Dustfinger and Del
What: Striking a friendship, perhaps?
When: Tonight
Warnings: Long Haired, Shirtless Paul Bettany is hot.


He pulled his shirt off, folded it neatly and set it down in his bag at the same time he withdrew a bottle that appeared to be full os sparkling glitter. He drank from the bottle, but didn't swallow. He held the sparkles in his mouth, his cheeks puffed which only made the scars that marked his left eye more prominant. Seeming to hold his breath, he removed two items from the bag, and replaced the bottle deep inside. The items were small torches attached to chains, which he wrapped around his hands.

Blowing out his cheeks, fire erupte from his lips the way one might imagine fire came from the mouths of dragos, curling upward into a glowing fireball. Dustfinger lifted first one, then the other torch to the flame, setting the ends to flame. Heaning back tot he point he looked like he might topple backward, his arms began to move in a well calculated move, twirling the torches in the air in a delightful show of concentration and skill.

Perhaps unnoticed among the crowd, a small horned marten named Gwin made his way from person to person, seeking out treasures to steal. Each item he lifted off an unsuspecting onlooker was dropped into Dustfinger's bag along side the bottle of glitter at the precice moment Dustfinger breathed out a new fire ball, flames climbing upward as if to reach the stars, while the man performed his act, dancing among the flame of his torches.

When he'd blown all the fire from his mouth, he slowed his motion, and snuffed the torches out quickly and quietly, bowing before the gathered crowd. He was exhausted, sweat beading his forhead and rolling down his back and chest. Dustfinger wiped his hand across his brow as he stood, turning to his bag to return the torches to their place.

One member of the crowd clapped louder than the rest as the little show ended, hanging around long after the crowd was gone. She waited patiently off to the side as Dustfinger packed up, Gwin running over her hands as if trying futilely to get away. When he seemed to be done, she walked up to him, cocking her head to the side. Her hair went from its usual array of colors to a fiery orange, and she gave him a quizzical look.

"Is this yours?" She held out Gwin with a hand closed around his chest, tight but not to the point of crushing him. Yet.

Gwin's ears twitched, as his beady eyes turned to his master. Dustfinger made a face, at the marten or at Del, one couldn't be sure. He reached a hand up to his neck, scratching where the almost imperceptible weight of Gwin often settled.

"Never seen him before," Dustfinger answered, though the lie was clear in his tone and his expression.

Delirium arched a brow, looking up at Dustfinger with a dubious sort of expression. "That's not what he says." She let the marten go, and watched it scurry up Dustfinger's body to hide around his neck.

"I found him in my pockets. Why'd you lie?" He tone wasn't accusational, as much as curious. She reached in her pocket and pulled out a bright blue dart frog, running her finger along its back. "Nothing wrong with having friends," Her hair turned blue to match her own little friend, as she cooed happily at him.

He noticed the change of hair color and eyed her curiously. That was a trick he hadn't seen before. He wanted to know how she did it.

"'Case he bit you. He likes to bite. I don't want to be liable," Dustfinger answered, the lies smooth and easy.

"So do I, you're not liable for that." She finally let the frog in her hand go, watching it with a fond little smile.

"I liked the fire~ Very shiny. How did you learn to do that, with the...?" She waved her hands, little pantomimes of his act, complete with smokey outlines of the torches.

Dustfinger offered Gwin a bit of bread from his pocket, reaching for it and holding it up to his shoulder without taking his eyes off Del. "The faeries and goblins where I come from taught me." A sharp pang of homesickness hit him and caused him to wince.

"How do you do that?" he asked in turn, a hand gesturing at her hair.

She lit up at the mention of faeries, nodding emphatically. "You know them too? Nice people. Very small," When she saw his wince, her face fell. "Or not. I'm sorry."

When he gestured, she glanced up, tilting her head back as if trying to see her own hair. "Do what?"

Dustfiner blinked. "No, no. The faeries are nice, usually. Not all of them. Most of them are deceitful little twats, nice enough to your face." He nodded, though he wasn't trying to cover his tracks at all. "And goblins, well. They've plenty to teach a man, I suppose."

He gave a shake of his head as Gwin moved from one side to the other along Dustfinger's neck. "Your hair. How does your hair turn color like that?"

"Everybody's like that, though. Least the fairies are honest about that. They're also very good at makiing toast. I miss fairy breakfast." Delirium was playing with a poker chip she'd dug out of one of her pockets, turning it over in her fingers with no effort at all. She found it a lot easier to focus on talkign to someone, when she was focusing on something else.

The mention of her hair made her frown, even more confused. "It just does. I'm broken. It used to listen to me, now it does whatever it wants. It's kind of a deceitful little twat." She mimicked the phrase, not really knowing what it meant. But her hair did remind her of the fairies she knew. So it had to fit. Right?

"I'm afraid I'm miserable in the kitchens." He shook his head. he wasn't sure if she was fishing for him to make her dinner or not, but she wouldn't want to eat it if he tried.

"And my hair is always this dull drab yellow." He sighed and brushed the stray locks out of his hair. "Even when I cut it, it just grows back the same."

"Well, you're not all fairy." She wasn't fishing for anything- it was rare that Delirium even had the mental capacity to reason long enough to lie. The wistful comment was just that, almost childlike in its innocence.

At his disdainful mention of his hair, she turned her head to the side. "Should it be different?" The next chunk of hair that fell in his face would be a deep violet, matching hers at the minute. If he wanted it to be different, she could do that. He was hers, enough.

Dustfinger shook his head. "No. I..." He blinked and pulled at the hair over his forehead. "Oh, now that would be a handy trick." He very nearly giggled, and Dustfinger never giggled.

Del nodded in a decisive way that only emphasized how childish she really felt, just then. "It is. And I like it. It'll stay." For the moment, at least. She considered doing something similar for Gwin, but didn't want to scare him. Instead, she gave a little twirl, starting off down the path.

"I'm hungry." This was (mostly) obviously said Dustfinger, and if he wanted to see what she had planned, he should probably follow.

"I told you I'm useless in the kitchens." Gwin was going to follow, whether Dustfinger did or not. After a moment, Dustfinger stepped forward, following her. Gwin scurried ahead, keeping pace with Del.

Bending over backwards to look at him as she walked, Delirium gave Dustfinger a funny look. "Neither. Am. I?" She stood back up, before pointing and skipping off in the direction of a food cart. "He's not, though," The cart owner didn't even bat an eye at Delirium's strange behavior, just seeming expectant about her ordering.

Dustfinger kept a step back, behind Del. He merely nodded, when the cart owner glanced at him. "I'll have what she's having," he stated, "And perhaps an extra bit of bread?" He added uncertain. Back home, he'd had something of a rapport with a cart owner who gave him bits of stale bread for Gwin.

"A pretzel and a lemonade, please," She gave the cart owner a little courtsey, which earned her a smile as he packed up the overlarge pretzels and handed them to her. She passed one to Dustfinger, and then took the lemonades.

"And an extra pretzel for my friend?" The cart owner gave her another pretzel and another smile, waving her off when she balanced the cups on her head to get out a wallet. "For the lady, no charge." She gave him a bow, somehow managing to keep the lemonades on her head as she did so.

Turning back to Dustfinger, she glanced up at her head. "One's yours. Would Gwin drink lemons?"

Dustfinger took one of the lemonades from her head. He sipped it, carefully, unsure of the taste. "He can...share mine," he said with a little smile. The pretzel interested him far more than the drink, though he offered a bite to Gwin before indulging in a bite for himself.

Del didn't seem in any hurry to pull the lemonade off her head, leavign it there as she continued to walk down the park's path, munching happily on her own pretzel. After a moment of silence, she started to sway her hips a little as she walked, starting a little dance to music that probably wasn't there. Unless he listened real close...

He was amused at the lemonade trick, and wondered how she kept it so steady on her head when she was moving about. But she was a different sort, and he wouldn't question her. He'd just enjoy the show.

He couldn't hear the music, but after a moment of watching her, he could sense his own beat. He was very aware of rhythm, and timing, both things that mattered when he was juggling, be it balls or balls of fire.

His hips swayed slightly, his head moved to the beat he head in his own head. He held his pretzel in one hand, lemonade in the other.
