Challenge #00426 - A051: When You Meet a Stranger...
K'iiv and Del are adorable, how did they meet/begin their relationship?
K'iiv preened his plumage nervously. He hated meeting new people. All the good advice for conquering social anxiety never, ever worked. It was either completely wrong for the situation or just… completely wrong.

People die by the soldier’s steel. People live by the blacksmith’s iron. – RecklessPrudence
They say that magic and iron don’t mix.
What do they know?

no but is david ok
I’m worried too. IDK, I think he was trying to conceal Yet Another Lurgi by doing the accent. Pure speculation on my part, of course.
David - eat more ginger. And take pre-emptive vitamin C. It helps tons.

Even a God/dess needs sustenance.
A (literal, not figurative) God/dess, fallen on hard times, forced to work 9-to-5 to make a living, in the absence of offerings et cetera. And how the lowly mortals around them feel about it.
