A Proper Introduction
═════════•°•°•═════════
Odysseus whispers of lullaby gradually becomes a soft hum as he tries to comfort the little doll-thing in his hands. When he no longer felt it shivering under his touch, he began to flutter his eyes open, and the first thing he gaze unto was the doll staring at him. It was...giving him a look. Pehaps it was awe, confusion? He doesn't know, it's eyes are literally dots.
"Feeling better?" He whispered. The doll-like thing lowered his head a bit, but then stares back at him with a nod.
The man heaves a sigh of relief. "That's good." He flashes it a smile, as warm as he could, and gently caresses the top of its head with a finger. The texture of its hair was smooth and silky, it was almost enviable. He descended further to its face, and he was a little surprise at how mallowy the skin is.
'It was like the ones I saw at the mall...what was it called again..'squish mallows?' Right, it's like touching one of those' He subtly bit his lips as to restrain himself from pressing his finger any further.
"So, what are you exactly?" He asked. The same question from before, at least this time it seem to be listening.
The doll creature looks down at it's body like it's inspecting itself with little arms. Then it looks back up to Odysseus as if saying: "I don't know either" or something.
"Do you at least have a name?" He titled his head. The doll starts flailing his arms and leaning his body, as if trying to convey something, but Odysseus still doesn't understand.
Probably because it doesn't have a mouth...now that Ody realized it. (Awkward)
'Okay, it can definitely understand me, but can't speak. Or it's like one of those telepath thing that can communicate through the mind....or maybe I've watch too many movies to come to that conclusion. '
"Hmm... Oh! I know!" Ody gets up from the floor, still with the creature in hand and makes his way to the living room. He gently placed the creature on the coffee table at the center of the room, it looks on with curiousity as he walks up to one of the bookshelves and shuffle around it.
"Where is it...where is it- Ah! There it is!" He picked up what he needs and rushed over back to the coffee table.
The creature tilted its head until he revealed a notepad with a pencil that looks like it has clearly been used very often, but the short length is enough for the creature could use.
"Try writing your name here." He said, pushing the pad and pencil towards it.
The creature seems a bit hesitate, but with Ody giving it an encouraging smile, it eventually grab a hold of the pencil with two of his arms.
Odysseus watch with a keen gaze as it glided the pencil onto the paper, for a small thing it really knows how to maneuver something well that's half it's height.
Finally, the creature makes ones last stroke before stepping aside to show Odysseus what it wrote.
HADES
"Ooh, you're name is Hades? That's a cute na--"
