[ today, lute's in a white sundress when the video begins. .. if you were puzzled about his sex before, this probably isn't going to help. (imagine how stiles must feel.) he's perched on what looks like a field of fabric, but it's really just his bed in the room he shares with stiles, and there's a messy lump of fabric behind him that's probably a jumpsuit.

he brightens, smiling warmly, wings fluttering briefly as he rises and smooths the dress down. ]

Hullo! [ as usual, his voice is a cheerful little chirrup. ] I'm afraid I have another request, if you all don't mind. [ stepping toward the pile of fabric, he pats it with a hand, glancing back at the screen again. ] I'd like to make a few sets of clothing, but.. I don't have small enough tools. I don't suppose anyone here is capable of making a small set of scissors and a needle that I could manage, is there? The needle can be almost normal sized, if that helps.

[ a pause, fingers twisting in his skirts, bare toes curling in the coverlet. ] .. Maybe someone could help me make some sort of bathtub, too. I can't keep showering in sinks.

action because I want it fight me

[ stiles moulds a tiny ball out of a piece of the choc-protein bar he's picking apart instead of eating, and tosses it at lute. ]

Are you wearing a dress?

gosh well if you insist...

[wingedly]

[ he darts up into the air to duck it, glancing back at it (very briefly concerned that the chocolate might stain something) before turning his attention to stiles again. ] Oh! Yes!

[ he does a little pirouette in the air, smiling brightly. ] Do you like it? It was one of my owner's favourites.

[ex_question191]

[ stiles is already shaping another projectile: it moulds like dough or soft clay, unsticky. the more he plays with it the less appealing the idea of eating it gets. ]

Yeah, it's nice, I guess?

[ much like shopping for formal dresses with lydia, stiles looks and can't really tell anything beyond "dress" and "small", which aren't really value judgements. but hey, if his roomie needs to be told that he's pretty... ]

So, are you actually a girl fairy? I mean, it's cool if you are. I've just been saying "he" this whole time.

[wingedly]

[ he darts over to land on stiles' knee, crossing over to hop onto the other one with a shake of his head. ]

I'm not really either. I sort of prefer 'he', but it doesn't really matter.

[ technically, he supposes he more closely resembles a human female, but that's not right, either. he glances up, then, briefly distressed. ]

.. Does that bother you?

[ex_question191]

No, nope. Uh uh.

[ stiles is quick to shake his head, because he doesn't like that tone. ]

You be whatever you want to be, little buddy.

[Q finds himself staring at the screen for quite a while before he replies. It's not the gender of the person - if it even is a person - presented to him which confuses him. What he's most puzzled by is the size of it. After a moment of puzzled staring, he realises that some words would likely be a good idea.]

Have you tried a bowl and filling that with water? [That's about the correct size, right?]

Video.

[wingedly]

[ it's okay, stare all you like, q. he's used to it. ]

Well, that's the right size, but.. the problem would be getting the water in it. Away from the sink, I mean. [ because he could put the bowl under the faucet, but then it would be too heavy to move. or he could use a small cup to fill the bowl elsewhere, but that's a lot of work for a single bath. ]

[skillz]

I'm no expert in the field, though surely you could craft some sort of makeshift plumbing system out of a funnel and some straws? [He feels more than a little bit ridiculous, as if he were a child discussing how to build something for a doll.]

I didn't know people with...[he pauses and points vaguely]...wings were able to get wet.

Video.

[wingedly]

[ well, he's not an expert either, but that sounds like a pretty good idea. at the comment, though, he offers a puzzled tilt of his head, fingers curling in his skirts again. ]

.. How else would I take a bath?

video

[elvenking]

A teacup, perhaps?

[Sorry T is so intrigued and amused by you, Lute.]

As for clothing, perhaps someone ought to make it for you.

video

[wingedly]

A teacup might be the better size if anyone has one. Admittedly, it might be a bit cramped, as I like to stretch my legs out, but beggars can't be choosers, I suppose.

[ he blushes a little at the suggestion, tucking his hair back. ]

.. Well, I considered requesting that instead, but.. I can do some basic sewing and embroidery, and.. and I'd like to be a bit more independent.

video

[elvenking]

If you wish, then. Perhaps a teacup from one of the kitchens? I doubt anyone would notice if one vanished.

video

[wingedly]

[ he claps his hands together, expression faintly pleading. ] I don't suppose you'd help me carry one? I suspect it may be a bit heavy for me on my own.

[endeavors]

I could... ask my wife, maybe?

[wingedly]

That would be very nice, thank you! I'd like to be able to do more things for myself.

[endeavors]

Sure. What's your name-?

[wingedly]

It's Lute! [ a flutter of his wings, dropping into a kind of curtsey. ] It's nice to meet you.

voice;

[thebreakingwave]

Hullo. If you've the tools you need, I can shrink them down to a size that will work for you?

video.

[wingedly]

Oh my gosh! Could you really? That's amazing! With magic?

[ if he gets any more excited, he may actually lift into the air. ]

[thebreakingwave]

Yes, I'm a wizard.

[That never sounds any less ridiculous no matter how often I type it.]

[wingedly]

A wizard. I've never met one before! I've read a lot about them in fairy tales, though.

--Do you wear a pointy hat? [ you should've known that was coming. ]

[ploughing]

[ Baw, Iorveth's little friend, hi there :3 And... apparently in a dress today. Sure, whatever makes you happy. There's a moment he thinks on it before answering. ]

A bowl or cup from one of the kitchens might work. I can help you look, if you'd like.

video;

[wingedly]

[ the dress is fabulous, okay. ]

Oh, that would be lovely! I've had someone mention a teacup, which may be perfect, actually.

video;

[ploughing]

[ totally fabulous, you're very pretty, bb ]

I'm sure there's one around here somewhere. And a tea kettle if you want a pool.

video;

[wingedly]

A pool? [ a slight tilt of his head, wings drooping slightly. ] Oh, I-- I can't swim.
