These dweebs

[quintessent]

Alcohol. That's right. You humans and your alcohol.

[She repeats, nodding. Pleased with herself for... having the answer supplied to her?]

A little break wouldn't hurt anyone. [She agrees, tilting her head up to look at the sky and - whoops! She leans a little too far back and promptly lands on her backside, blinking up at Sylvia owlishly.]

Oh, it appears I've already sat down.

they are SUCH dweebs

[stardustish]

...Wait.

[ she also plops down onto the ground and lands on her back, and she doesn't wipe the surprised expression from her face. ]

You humans? You're -- oh.

[ in her "drunken" state...sylvia did not realize the markings or the ears. ] Wait...what does that make you, then?

[ allura doesn't look like any of the monsters she's seen around here...so she must be a witch. a witch who wasn't originally human or something. ]

[quintessent]

[At this, Allura full-on pouts. Much less disguised than it would be normally,]

I am an Altean.

[A melodramatic sigh, and she lifts her hands to the side of her head, touching the tips of her ears gingerly.]

Do I really appear human? Or... a monster?

[stardustish]

I-I wasn't sure! I mean, you look human, but also a little bit of...something else?

[ points at her ears!!! ]

I wouldn't say monster, just...not entirely human either!

[ oh god is she making this worse ]

two ear tags for you in 24 hours.

[quintessent]

That's something, I suppose.

[Another sigh, and she drops her hands to her lap.]

Don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with a human. I even think your ears are a little cute, now. Very unassuming.

oh my god

[stardustish]

Seriously?

[ a beat, then: ]

I think your ears are way cooler.

[quintessent]

[!!]

Thank you. No one has ever said that before.

[Should she be feeling a weird pride over her ears? She does.]

I rather like your hair - back home I did not know humans could grow it so long!

[stardustish]

You do? Really?

[ at this point, it's mostly black with platinum tips. without the right hair dye, well, she can't really color her hair back to what it was when she arrived, so! ]

Thanks! It is pretty long. I'm thinking of chopping it off at some point. Have you ever thought about cutting your hair, Princess?

[quintessent]

Cut off my hair?

[She gapes a little, bringing her hands up to hold the hair at the nape of her neck closer, protective.]

Absolutely not. It would take a lifetime for it to return to this length. Maybe several lifetimes!

[stardustish]

Really? So your hair growth is slow, huh?

[ this is what we're talking about i guess!!! ]

Haha, my hair's gonna get real long soon, so I can afford to chop it off! I'm sure it'll be fiiiine. [ a beat, then: ] Do you think short hair would match me?

[ good luck allura!! ]

[quintessent]

[It sure is!]

I have a lot of hair.

[Just imagine it wet!

At her question, she hums, thinking while looking at Sylvia’s face,] I think you could wear your hair in any fashion. But I am partial to the long.

[stardustish]

You do! It's nice and fluffy, too. I like it!

[ but...girl, how do you shampoo all of that, oh my god? ]

Alright! Thanks for your input. Maybe I'll just trim it a bit!
