START AGAIN && o, joining

The familiar thud of wing beats was a telltale indicator of Luca's arrival. At first he had promised himself that he'd ignore the bell and continued with his work, but the repeated ringing had made that all but impossible. Now as he arrived, he did so with the pure intent of scalping the one responsible for his misfortune. His ears, ever burdened by his enhanced senses, buzzed with white noise brought on by the repeated high pitched sound. Luca landed rather clumsily, folding his sharp wings by his sides and looking Australianpaw over with a critical eye. At least Silus had already come forwards to stop the feline's incessant rope tugging. He seemed to relax a bit once the noise died down a little, the fur alone his spine flattening slightly. He shook out his windswept pelt and shot the young sage a smile, finally turning his (now significantly less pissed) gaze back in Aussie's direction.

"No one likes it when you ring it more than once," he added, giving his pink painted claws a little flex for emphasis. "What're you here for, mon chéri?" he continued without much of a pause, his voice becoming softer and smoother as he talked and the rest of his irritation slowly filtered from his system. By the time he spat out the pet name he was completely relaxed again, his eyelashes half lidded over irises of fuchsia. It was easy to forgive foolishness if it wasn't done on purpose, but the intensity of Luca's stare indicated that he wouldn't be so quick to let bygones be bygones next time the pale feline upset him.
