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

It had been quite a while since the hybrid had let his wings linger against the edge of the Pitt's border, his nose filled with the scent of the desert along with a heavy lingering stench of blood, although the latter had somewhat faded as of late. This place had once served as his temporary home, and although he had left it, that didn't mean that he had felt any sort of resentment for it. Sure, he hadn't agreed with their practices, and that's why he had gone off to reform the Halls, but that didn't mean he hated or even mildly disliked those that lived within the Pitt. They had been like family to him for the brief time he had been here, and while he had still interacted with some of them semi-recently – such as Gael and Aine – there was one person in particular that had been on his mind ever since he had left. One canine that he had become fast friends with, and who had wormed his way aggressively into the gat's heart, even when he hadn't been expecting it at all. That was, of course, Auggie. August had been an unexpected addition to his little group of friends, considering the other had once been a slave, but not an unwelcome one. The two of them had interacted kindly with each other, and Vinny had loved their simple and quiet moments together.

The harbinger of the Halls had tried his best not to let his mind linger too much on the emotions that Auggie had made him feel. After all, the other had just been a close friend, that was all. Sure, he'd occasionally make Vin go speechless when he said something sweet or did something particularly cute, and Vinny had been willing to protect the other to the death back when the attack on the Pitt had happened, but that didn't mean anything... Bertille, he was really in deep, wasn't he? If Vin had ever taken a moment to be honest with himself, he would've known well that he had it bad for Auggie, to the point where, when the other had disappeared after Kydobi's death, it had been a motivating factor in him leaving. He just hadn't been able to wake up every day and do his normal routine minus the one canine that was able to make him smile so wide the sparkle of his fangs rivaled the sun. However, after Gael and Aine had come to attend the Festival of Bertille within the Halls, Vox had heard that apparently Auggie was around the Pitt again, and Vinny would've been lying if he said that hadn't made his heart soar a little bit.

So, after the Festival had ended and things had finally begun to wind down again in the Halls, Vinny had left Aslisk in charge for a couple of days, putting together a large basket of flowers and herbs and even a few bits of jewelry to bring to the Pitt. He might've been going just for Auggie deep down, but that didn't mean he couldn't bring the rest of the group a gift, right? The trek to the desert that The Pitt resided in had been an arduous one, and Vin was infinitely glad when it was over and he was finally resting at the edge of the jungle the Pittians called home, but he still didn't regret a second of it. Clearing his throat, the hybrid hesitated for only a moment before calling out, "'Ey, is anybody here? It's Redvox, th'leader of the Halls of Hiraeth. I used t'live here, and I wanted t'come and visit everybody. Uh, Auggie, in particular? If he's here..." His voice was slightly timid, wary of any newcomers that might've shown up after he had left, but he hoped he wouldn't have to deal with anybody attacking him on sight.

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

Redvox certainly couldn't say that he had forgotten about Astiar. No, the hybrid was actually fairly sure that it would've been impossible to forget about such a character, unless you received some pretty major brain damage at some point. For fuck's sake, he was a giant cicada dragon... thing. One who had actually ended up fairly attached to Redvox, as a matter of fact. In all honesty, Vinny had been thinking more about the clanmates he could actually communicate with when he thought about who he would miss in the Pitt when he left, but that didn't mean he hadn't thought about Astiar. The other was like... a big, destructive puppy. And while some might've been annoyed by that – Bertille knew that Vinny had been at one point – Vox now actually found it to be pretty charming, and cute. He still felt himself tense up slightly when the bug dragon came around, however, landing nearby and charging at him with enthusiasm. For a moment, Redvox was terrified he was about to be trampled by the creature, but thankfully instead, the only thing that happened was that his ears were full of buzzing noise... and then his mind was filled with frantic, jumbled words that made little to no sense beyond the very basics. Vinny's eyes widened considerably at this, gaping up at Astiar in surprise, before he finally spoke, "Ah... hey, Astiar. It's good t'see ya too, buddy... y'learn how to talk, or somethin'?" What Redvox had heard hadn't exactly been talking, especially since it had been projected right into his head, but that was the closest approximation he could think of for what had just happened.

However, the harbinger of the Halls was not left to ponder what had just happened for much longer. Because the next one to show up at his little visit was none other than Auggie. August, one of the people whom he had missed the most, and who was currently the subject of his – in his opinion – dumb and misguided infatuation. Still, his own worries didn't stop him from grinning as soon as Auggie came into view, and it certainly didn't stop him from moving forward, large wings wrapping around the canine to embrace him. He could hear what Auggie was saying to him, but his brain was far too preoccupied with burying his nose in the other's fur, greeted by the familiar scent of the Pitt as well as just... Auggie. It took a long moment before Vinny finally calmed himself down enough to actually respond to the other, a breathless laugh leaving him, "I missed ya too, Auggie... And it's okay. M'not mad, or anythin'. I just... I wanted t'see you again." There was so much more he wanted to say, so many words climbing to the tip of his tongue and many more dying in his throat. He couldn't even begin to truly describe how happy he was to see the other, but he was trying his best as he pressed their foreheads together, "I don't... I barely know what t'say... things've been so hectic lately, with everythin' that happened 'n' me runnin' my own place... I wish I could've visited sooner." I really, really like you, Auggie. Kept repeating over and over again in his brain, like the silent chang of a crowd eager to see them together. Still, he felt so nervous. It had been so long since he had seen Auggie, and he didn't even know if the other would feel the same. Vox might've been a little bit more concerned with the other Pittian watching them from the shadows, but he was far too wrapped up in his own predicament, as well as the fluffy male wrapped up in his arms.
