+ city park

@go. jang yeeun as soon as wonwoo laid a hand on the stranger (respectfully, mind you), his ears were suddenly filled with the sound of hissing - which was honestly unsurprising to him. animals did have the tendency to despise him, even the ones that happened to sit on gorgons' heads. it was why wonwoo immediately assumed that the girl that had fallen into his arms was a gorgon, and his eyes widened as her sunglasses clattered to the ground. that wouldn't do any good - ignoring the aggressive hissing of the snakes, wonwoo immediately bent down to pick up the discarded sunglasses, averting his gaze from the stranger. it wouldn't do him well to have his daily form turned to stone, after all.

"it's no problem," wonwoo said smoothly, unpreturbed by the snakes' attitude towards him - he'd heard worse things before. he reached for where he thought her hand was, still keeping his gaze away from the girl before placing the sunglasses in her hand, murmuring softly. "here - you dropped this." the snakes continued to hiss hatefully at him, but once more, he paid them no mind. in fact, it was rather endearing to learn that they were so protective of this girl. "the glamour's still there," he hummed, having seen no sign of the snakes earlier despite having heard all the hissing. "but it's alright. at least you know they won't hesitate to protect you."

@ea. jeon wonwoo the hissing of the snakes around yeeun's head grew louder the moment the lady felt an arm by her front, eliciting a gasp from her lips as her hands immediately went to hold onto the stranger's limb in reflex. however, that almost tripping moment caused her sunglasses to fall from her nose, and she could only hear where it fell to. for the first few moments, she blinked repeatedly, before one hissed by her ear, "close your eyes, sweetheart," and said snake went back to hissing at whoever had saved him.

"get your filthy hands off of her," hissed one of the snakes, the s being drawled out in each word. yeeun's eyes almost opened up in panic at the snakes' attitude toward her savior, and she immediately straightened her posture, though she only realized then that she didn't know where to look. following the man's voice, she quickly held her hands together and bowed her head. "t-thank you for helping me! but—but i, um, i'm sorry for... whatever you might have heard," she said rather loudly, quite an attempt to try and shush the snakes. straightening her back, she fidgeted lightly, opting to keep her eyes closed and hope that the other wouldn't find it rude. "they... they're just really... um, protective of me — and oh! by 'they,' i meant the snakes in my hair, though i'm not sure if you can see them. are they still hidden a glamour? hopefully."

@go. jang yeeun wonwoo didn't really like the brightness of the sun - it was a stark contrast from the darkness of the cosmos that he was used to. he'd purchased a pair of those transition shades for his convenience, but the sunlight was still far too bright for his own liking. that was something he couldn't help, however - and so he dealt with simply keeping his eyes away from the sun, squinting occasionally to avoid being blinded by its disastrous rays. he was so focused on keeping his eyes shielded that he'd hardly noticed a girl next to him trip over a nearby can. luckily for her, wonwoo's reflexes were fast in this limiting form of his, and he held out an arm for her to fall onto while supporting her back. "are you okay?" he asked quietly, helping her rise to her feet with a silent inspection over her body - she didn't look as if she'd been harmed anywhere.

@ea. jeon wonwoo the park was rather lively in the mornings, and cheery chatters filled yeeun's ears as she threaded the place. the occasional hissing of the snakes in her hair mixed in with the lovely conversations around her, and she could only hum to herself, smiling as she adjusted the sunglasses that was starting to fall off of her nose. often, she wondered why she still needed a pair, but she supposed her eyes were still... active, despite being deprived of its function when she was born. but it had been centuries — there was no need to think about it now, her lovely reptilian friends would say, who were, by the way, the ones that replaced her hair. she had wanted a breather this morning, which was why she had decided to come out, yet she didn't expect the loud noises. her sensitive ears weren't used to it, were only used to the familiar buzz of the company that were rarely ever as loud as public places — her sensitive ears weren't used to it, that when her lovely friends had told her that there was, quite in fact, a lone, rolling can in her way, she hadn't been able to change courses, and her foot stepped on the said can, causing her to lose her balance — "oh!" — and she fell forward, hands outstretched in front of her as though to shield herself from the cement.
