Tare [tair]
Romance, Courtship, Zephyr

❧ Played by Niyx

Appearance: Medium height and light of build, Tare is a very graceful being – though whether one sees hir as a god or a goddess is entirely to their own decisions. Appearing in the late teens to early twenties, xe is highly androgynous with hir basic form a slender youth with short, dark brown hair and dark eyes. Xe wears a light colored, loose sweater with a wide neck which leaves one of hir shoulders bare, and comfortable capri style pants in an light tan. Hir shoes are comfortable sandals with a slight heel, and xe wears woven hemp for bracelets and a necklace with a small, gold charm.

Tare has a tendency to only appear as a breath of wind or movement of air when xe doesn't feel like showing hir face or when xe dislikes someone. Xe will never not appear at all when called though.

Characteristics: Elusive, gentle, capricious, emotional, voyeuristic, polyamorous, easily miffed, passive aggressive, ingenuous.

Likes: Watching people, positive emotional connections and responses, happy endings, fresh scents, freedom of movement.

Dislikes: Prostitution, marriages of convenience, emotionless or cold people, unclean things, stagnant air, entrapments.

Shrine: A wisteria vine grows in the corner of the room with a delicate wind chime suspended within it. A simple metal hoop with four twisted glass bars hanging in the center of it.

Ritual: Blow softly across the chimes to call hir. Xe may or may not appear physically, but if xe is present and listening, the chimes will continue to ring softly as though caught in a gentle breeze.

Is there something you needed?

[looks around nervously]

Do you give advice?

I can try.

How do people find romance?

I mean, when it doesn't just fall in their laps.

Social functions are a good way to meet people. Dances and such. Parties.

True. I'm out of practice talking to strangers, though.

Hm... the only way to get practice is to do it. A social event could be organized though.

Yeah, but idle chitchat and warnings about the wildlife are different.

[chuckles softly]

That sort of social gathering falls outside my interests.

True, but it shows the depths of my inexperience with ones that do. Really, things usually just happen to me.

[xe smiles]

But you do not wish to wait this time?

I'd like to know I can do it.

And maybe I'm a bit lonely, even with friends here.

Hm... would you be willing to help set things up or ... acquire energy for me to provide things for a gathering?

Sure. I wasn't expecting things for free. I even brought a small offering for the advice.

[reaches into his cape and offers a paper airplane]

[claps hir hands]

Toss it for me.

Hm... I suppose the quickest way to do this will be for you to invite people. The more people you talk to, the more energy I will have to organize. Invite them to come, and come up with two activities you would like to see there.

[does so]

I'll have to think about that.

[playing with the plane in the air, using wind to keep it aloft and fly it around the shrine room]

If you are having trouble thinking of activities, come back tomorrow night, and we can think of things. You can ask your friends too. They may have suggestions.

[hope he doesn't mind an impulsive hug and kiss on the cheek]

This will be fun!

[okay, the kiss startles him, but he's used to huggy people]

Right. Fun.

It will be.

I'm sure it will be.
