Nothing to be Afraid of [Complete]

[nonomoribird.livejournal.com]

Character(s): The Beast and Yorda
Content: Yorda and the Beast meet.
Setting: The streets of Paixao
Time: Morning
Warnings: The Beast has a temper. Do Yorda and her questions count as a warning?

Yorda loved mornings, fresh and clean and full of possibility. She loved the coolness of the air around her, and the sunlight - and even if there weren't any birds to be found here, at least she could attempt to imitate the sounds they had made with her own voice. Of course, she was failing miserably, but she had fun nonetheless, and she giggled to herself.

It was so wonderful to be free, with the world bright and full of possibility. The princess gave a soft, happy sigh, her eyes drawn to the domed ceiling of the city - she had not yet gone outside of the city, especially as there were rather disapproving guards posted at ever gate. Despite that, Yorda didn't mind - she never ran out of things to do here or places to explore, and today was one of those days.

She wondered what would happen today.

Beast had an exasperated air about him for a moment. "I...I'm...not used to..." He trailed off, then rubbed at the fur on his collar. "I'm not used to people being nice to me," he blurted out quickly. It was hard to admit that to someone he hardly knew, but it was very true.

What few people he'd met since...then...he scared them. Before coming here, the only ones who'd shown him any kindness were his servants.
