"Good to meet you in person, dude. And I'm glad you're not hurt, I know how bad landing on your wings wrong can hurt."

Oliver studied the man in front of him. The wing that didn't close worried him a little, but he was no healer, he couldn't fix it, even if he wanted to. He wasn't sure he was up to meeting the others, but also didn't want to stop Necrosis' good time.

So, he got out of the tree, careful to land a couple feet from the other man. He suddenly felt dwarfed. This man was, tall. Very tall. Almost a foot taller than he was.

"Who were you gonna go say hello to? I haven't actually talked to anyone else yet." He scratched his neck sheepishly. "I was just people watching y'know?"

Necrosis looked off at the bbq with a sheepish face, "I'm on the same cloud. Haven't really talked to anyone face to face but you!" He glanced around. "I was just going to go say hello to everyone! I like meeting new people." He smiled and put his hands on his hips. He was really lanky, like a wire of an angel.

Necrosis looked back at the sound of Oliver dropping. He looked eye level and then looked confused. He looked down and then smile, "Ha! Sorry I'm used to my brother, he's almost as tall as me."

"We can go say hi together! If you want to." Necrosis looked mindful, "Or we can hang and people watch!" Oliver reminded him of Natura. She was always so sweet and shy.

On the same cloud was a new one, makes sense, and was close enough he could get it, but it makes sense for a world of flyers. He didn't like having to be looked down at, but it's not as if he was unused to it. Back home he preferred his half-owl form, it was a more comfortable one, but here, humans were the norm, so that was the shape he'd be.

"Good to know I wasn't the only one people watching instead of joining in."

He would like to stay and people-watch, but that probably wouldn't be an option. Whatever way it went would be conversation. It was nice he was given the option not to have to converse as much, usually his friends pushed him to be more social. Which, to their credit, is how he befriended most of his other friends.

"I don't really mind either way, so it's up to you."

Necrosis watched Oliver as he spoke. He seemed like the shy type, something that he wasn't sure if he should push him or not. He gave Oliver a smile. He shouldn't be an older brother, he didn't even know Oliver that much! But he couldn't help it. He had 8 younger siblings!

"Come on! Let's go socialize! We can go get some food and drink!" Necrosis started to walk off towards the rest of the party glancing back at Oliver to make sure he was following. From behind Oliver could get a better view of Necrosis's wings. The one that didn't close fully, it was on the very inside of the wing where the humerus met the radius and ulna, close against his back.

"What do you like to drink?" Necrosis turned around and looked at Oliver as they walked. His wings half opened for balance as he walked.

Socialization it was. He expected this. He should eat something though, shifting always took more out of him than he cared to admit. Though, the food seemed relatively similar to the kinds back home, so at least he can eat. The drinks are all different from what he's used to, but he can probably pick something and just, drink it.

"Alright."

He followed Necrosis, both wanting to ask about the wing and not wanting to be rude. He knew injuries could be deeply personal, and wanted to respect that. His friend was usually the one to abandon decorum and just ask any questions that popped into his head.

"Oh, um, I'm not really sure what most of these are. Sorry."

"Me either!" Necrosis gave a wide smile, "To be honest I don't have to eat so I really haven't eaten in... Oh geez... probably 13 or so years now?" Necrosis looked sheepish as he scratched the back of his head. He glanced over the table, there was so many different kinds of foods he had no idea where to start. Necrosis reached for a plate. "I guess we'll just have to try it all out then!"

He started with some chips, as they look familiar, then a variety of fruit. He glanced over to see what Oliver was selecting and if it looked good. He tasted some stuff on his plate, "Oh these are so sweet!" he pointed to the fruit, "Try it!"

Doesn't have to eat? Everyone has to eat, how else do they have energy? Interesting, but that's not the point. How does anyone eat all these different foods? But stomach limits must not exist when you don't have to eat.

"It all looks pretty good."

He grabbed some of the fruit, and chips, along with some of the sides. He wasn't too big on most foods, because some of them only one form's stomach could take, so his diet was, limited. Ah, well, such is the life of a shapeshifter.

Necrosis seemed to be excited to try everything, and his enthusiasm was endearing. It made Oliver more excited. Maybe socializing wouldn't be that bad.

"Yeah, they looked good!"

"Don't they?" He excitedly nibbled off of his plate as they piled some food. Then he backed off to let Oliver reach the last plates on the table. "Wanna go sit and eat? Come on, we can go sit on the grass."

Necrosis headed over and plopped onto the ground, more careful towards not dropping any of his food. His wings hung half open so that he could sit on his knees. His right wing half splayed out while the left remained tucked. He didn't seem to acknowledge this. He settled in and started eating happily.

"Ahh this is amazing! I forgot how good food tasted!" He smiled while he nibbled his pieces of fruit and crunched his chips. "How does yours taste?" He looked over at Oliver with his same infectious smile.

Oliver followed Necrosis over to the grass, feeling glad to get just a little distance between him and the rest of the group. He joined Necrosis on the grass, careful not to spill his food, but also angling himself to look at both Necrosis and the picnic.

"It's good, closer to the food back home than I was expecting."

He was glad Necrosis seemed to be having fun. Though he felt a little guilty that he was keeping him from being more social. At the same time, he was glad that Necrosis was still hanging out with him. It was nice to be around someone who didn't expect anything from him.

"So, what do you like about flying?"

"Yeah? Whats the food in your home like?" Necrosis engaged in conversation as he ate. He tried not to just inhale his food. He'd been through the outcome of eating to fast too many times. Always made him sick.

"Best thing about flying?" Necrosis thought for a moment, his mind jumping back to all those centuries spent in chains, "The freedom of it. I love just soaring through the sky. Doing tricks and even just riding thermals! What about you?"

"Oh, food back home tends to be more heavily spiced, but similar in terms of the basic stuff. Lots of starches and nuts for me, mostly. I can only eat things all of my stomachs can handle, or I'll get sick when I transform."

Freedom, huh. He supposed that was a nice thing about going. Nothing holding you down, and being free to go anywhere you like. It was a rush, to be sure.

"I think probably the freedom as well, but more that I don't have to be pinned to any one place, I can just choose to go somewhere else. No one can stop you when you can fly."

He'd had to run enough that the ability to go wherever was important. Being able to escape whenever someone wanted to keep him made life better. Not even his parents could find him when he flew off.

Necrosis thought for a minute, "Huh I never considered that. I grew up with angels who always flew with me so I almost always had company!" Necrosis finished with his food. He still didn't feel full, but he definitely felt like he ate.

"Nuts and starches..." Necrosis seemed to trail off in thought. He pulled his non injured wing closer and absentmindedly preened the feathers, "That must taste good." He gave Oliver a smile, recovering from his brief train of thought.
