REDVOX "VINNY" ABRAMO - cis male - goat-bat hybrid - harbinger

Despite not being one of the "Alithians" that Bai Shi had requested to come over to the celebration, Vinny still found himself making his way over when he heard the other leader's call. Flanked by several of the other visitors from the Halls, Vin felt his eyes go wide when he saw the way that the area was decorated, all lit up in gold and red with little splashes soft pink occasionally flitting down from the Sakura tree high up above. It was beautiful, and it was a welcome departure from the cold atmosphere that had the Halls in its grip at the moment. Not to say that their forest home was completely devoid of life – it seemed almost comically able to keep itself alive and thriving even in the worst of conditions – but still, this place seemed completely different. The hybrid let his eyes wander all around, just letting it all sink in for a long moment, before his stunned silence was interrupted by the shrill and happy call of a child.

Turning his head, he spotted Leoku, and immediately a small smile curled on his face. He could only assume that was one of the children that Bai Shi had mentioned when they had first come with their invitation. He really was adorable, and Vinny found himself deliriously happy for Bai Shi. After all, both the Halls and Alithis were practically neighbors. It would be best to form a friendly relationship with them. With this in mine, the harbinger made his way over to where Bai Shi was sitting, giving the other a crooked grin before speaking, "Hello, Bai Shi. This place looks... wonderful. I love what you've done with all th'decorations 'n' everythin'. I almost feel like ya one upped the festival the Halls had recently." He chuckled a little bit as he sat nearby, making it clear that he was just joking around. The festival of Bertille and this celebration were quite different, so Vinny didn't actually hold any scorn.

Vinny was a bit startled – although not unkindly – from his amazement at the decorations all around him by the sound of a soft and polite voice right next to him. Blinking in surprise, the hybrid turned his head to see Laeglin, seemingly processing what the serval had said to him. Once he was able to, however, he found himself smiling, the little grin upon his mug showing off little flashy bat teeth. He spoke softly, dipping his head to the polite child in front of him, "Hello there, I'm very happy t'be here for th'festival. Your da did an excellent job with th'decorations 'and everything." He then seemed to process the question that he had been asked, glancing down thoughtfully. He supposed that he did have a few stories to tell, considering his life had been pretty eventful up to this point. Still, he found himself shrugging as he spoke, "I do 'ave a few stories. Y'don't get t'where I am without a few excitin' things happenin'. Like when I saved a bunch'a my clanmates from a roarin' fire." That admittedly might've been a bit of a romanticized version of what happened, considering his death afterwards, but he had saved many Halls members that day.
