you're the closest thing to hell i've seen so far
She compliments his name and he puffs out slightly with pride. "Thanks! Pa said his dad's name was similar, and he wants me to be strong like his dad was." Terra, Tyra...it was something of a theme running down the bloodline, in addition to earth-related magic. And bonding to a dragon early on in life, but Volterra just isn't that lucky. He is magicless, dragonless, hornless and wingless.
His attention is quickly stolen away from his morose musings on his uselessness when she reveals that she, too, is a twin. Eyes turn plate-sized, a delighted grin blossoming across his fragile young features. They begin to boggle as she describes her sister, the description fitting the girl he'd met in the Heavenly Fields. Penchant for blowing shit up? Check. A twin? Check. Weird? Double check. Small world. "Hey, I met her! She was kinda cool. Kept blowing stuff up though." Including delicious flowers, RIP pink tasties. "I think I liked her. She was nice, in a weird, bouncy way." Volterra is usually a serious creature, but Shida had brought out the child in him, and that's something he appreciated.
Auriel's offer is gratefully accepted, given he'd requested that very thing - yes, he was definitely up to being a lab rat. "Go for it!" He spreads his stick-like limbs to anchor his balance against the snow, determination flashing across his face. This should be fun.
