🌟 THE FALLEN STAR

"Mhm. I can paint uou, if you'd want?"

"That sounds neat! I'm something of a painter, myself. I used to paint portraits for the townsfolk before.. um.. well.. I still do occasionally."

"Pixel.. art? What is that?"

"What.. are you?"

"I can't control it as well as I'd like.. but I promise that I won't freeze you. Just myself."

"Nethaniel."

Relaxing a little at the warmth, the coldness of his being lessening slightly.

"I'm very cold, i apologize."

"Who are you..?"

Like his appearance suggests, the figure is VERY cold.

"Thank you.."

@themetalhearts.bsky.social

"Um.. hello. Your dress is very lovely."

@fimonst.bsky.social

"Are you a flame?"

The being is drawn to him for his appearance. Flames mean warmth.

GETTING COLDER?

"S-sorry... um.. I can't control it very well."

{ hey guys you want a sad sack }

Curled up into a little ball, fast asleep on the tl.

<- very blue & also VERY COLD

"Is that a flame?"

{ more clankers }

Appearing sleepy on the TL.

"Sure, but you're not alone anymore."

Smiling at him.

"You're not, I am sorry to say."

"I can tell that's a lie."

Oof. Sometimes this guy is kinda creepy.

Looking at him intently for a moment.

"You are just as lonely as I am."

"Well.. we'll have to go back to my home for supplies."

{ bro is gonna get a face full of ice if he does that }

"Of course I can! It may not be as easy, though. Painting, like any art, takes time to refine."

"Aw.. thanks! I really do enjoy it. It calms me down."
