Seventeenth Firefly - [Action] - backdated to the 5th
[When little Seto first wakes up, he finds himself staring off into the white covered distance, his purple eyes barely open, nose and cheeks red and small hands reflexively curled up into fists to keep his already stinging finger tips off the snow. He lets out a long exhale, his breath clouding out in front of him before disappearing into the cold air. There's a long minute of silence as he slowly wakes up, watching his breath blearily, before he finally blinks and moves to at least lift his head off the snowy ground, his entire body aching from the cold.
…Outside. Why is he outside? And in the snow?!
Seto can feel his heart beat rapidly as he quickly makes his way to his feet, dusting the snow off his legs and arms as fast as he can before grabbing his arms. There’s only one winter that he can remember in the short time he spent with his grandpa and it wasn't kind.
What plants his grandfather normally fed them died, leaving them with barely anything, it was always freezing cold and drafts would find their way into the observatory through cracks in the walls and doors and he nor his grandfather never had much in terms of ways to keep themselves warm with clothes. When winter came, his grandfather told him to never go outside or bad things would happen, especially in the snow that fell and covered everything.
He didn't understand it... how something like this could be so scary.
As he moves to step back, looking around in a panic to find the observatory, his heel hits something behind him and he trips and falls backwards over whatever it was with a yelp. He quickly tries to scuttle away but looks back to see what it was he tripped on and…
…A person. Another person.
There's a moment as he stares in surprise. But... he thought there were no other people. His grandfather told him so--didn't he? It's always just been him and his grandfather. He’s afraid that if he touches this person, he’ll disappear… but if he tripped over him, he must be real, right? He's hesitant but slowly turns around in the snow and he puts his hands on the other boy’s chest and starts to shake him.]
M-Mm… w-wake up… [His voice is small and shaking as he shivers, but he’s trying]
ACTION
[Today, the people of Luceti may come across a rather curious duo. Normally, seeing Crow and Seto together is not strange at all--in fact, it's practically the norm, but after a week or so of being gone, when they return, they are noticeably different.
Seto has clearly been affected by his "mallynap", as he's now a little boy instead of a young adult. Unlike the Seto we all know and love, this Seto has yet to experience large crowds of people, or even seeing so many people in general, so there's a lot of wide-eyed staring as he looks around as well as looking back to make sure he's not too far away from his odd companion.
Crow, on the other hand, appears almost exactly the same as before he was taken in for experimentation too...except for some odd differences. His bright green eyes are now a dull, lifeless grey, and he's quieter than usual, barely saying a word, and when he does, there's very little emotion put into it. For now, he's sort of aimlessly following along behind Seto, or occasionally stopping to stare at people or things.
Well, hopefully this will wear off soon, but otherwise they're both lost and confused at the moment. Would you like to offer a helping hand?
(ooc: Seto and Crow have been de-aged as their mallynap effect upon their return. Both of them will be replying per thread, unless specified otherwise.)]

[That's Mr. Cat's domain.]
But... I'd like to try.
[He starts to perform some simple steps slowly, as if he's reliving the basic ballet lessons that Mr. Cat had given long ago. He moves smoothly and gracefully.]
no subject
Seto, however, is more than welcome to try it himself if he wants to, but he'd likely have to literally push Crow into joining in if that is the case.]
no subject
Granted as he dances, it's no where near as graceful as Mytho's movements and he's a little clumsy, but as he moves, his chest feels warm in the cold and butterflies fly around in his tummy. So this is dancing... this is what people did before... this is what it's like to feel more alive, to be living with others.]
L-Like this? [To Mytho, then he turns to glance at his companion to see if he's doing it too] A-Are you going to t-try?
no subject
Yes. [And he flexes some more ballet movements, before turning towards Crow.]
Are you?
no subject
He seems to be a little hesitant for a moment, before he attempts to copy the same movement that Mytho had used before. Admittedly, it appears that he was paying attention and that his dancing is perhaps a little more decent than Seto's...but in comparison, it almost feels mechanical, like the movements of a doll, than a person trying to express their emotions through dance.
Then again, he's not really used to expressing very many emotions, so maybe that's why it feels that way.]
