Ajax grinned goofily up at him, holding his plate on his lap while the chair legs leaned back precariously as well. "Why, do you underestimate your hosting skills Terran? Because really, I am very happy right now." He spoke, dimples showing as he caught the tempted glint in Terran's eyes.
He fully knew how easy it would be for Terran to knock him out with a single half movement of his tail. It just amused him because he knew that he wouldn't do that. Or rather, his ego was big enough to where he thought that Terran wouldn't. Not while he was holding one of his plates at the very least. He doubted that Terran would break his own things on purpose.
"Yup! I'm a Birdman of the world! You know me, I can't stay in one place unless I have a really good reason to." He responded easily, genuinely relaxing more.
Ajax rolled his eyes, brushing a stray strand hair out of his face.
"Fine, then what are we doing today?" He asked, including himself as if he hadn't even thought of the idea that he wouldn't stick to Terran like glue the whole day. Of course, he would leave if Terran preferred him to, but he much preferred hanging out with Terran than doing his actual job. Blood never managed to get out of his clothes anyways.
Ajax couldn't help but laugh at Terran's reaction, letting his arms fall back down on the table and sitting up straight to take the plate, abruptly swallowing the piece of bread he had taken before to start eating the toast with jam.
"Amazing, I somehow found myself in a handsome stranger's house and he just made me food so I'm on top of the world right now." He chirped, leaned back in his seat to eat his food.
His movements stuttered slightly when he heard the snake man's question before continuing to eat, not letting it show.
"Just traveling! You know me, I don't like to stay cooped up in one place." He responded easily, before subtly changing the subject.
"So what's the plan for today? Are we wrangling sentient plants? Ooo! Are we maybe extracting poisons or something? Is that even a thing? It should totally be a thing."
After he had changed, Ajax made his way to the source of the smell of fruit and hot bread, walking a little faster towards the delightful smell. He stopped at the doorway and smiled, waving as he greeted Terran. "Morning Gorgeous, how did you sleep?" He asked, walking inside and plopping happily down on one of the chairs.
His long hair was left down, the front pieces tucked behind his ears, but some of them always managed to slip out and lay on his face before he realized and pulled it back again, and he rested his chin on the palms of his hands, elbows on the table as he looked up at Terran.
He watched him slither around the kitchen and stole a piece of bread, taking a bite as he relaxed. Calm mornings with the smell of breakfast always had a way of keeping Ajax calm, so he just took a minute to look at Terran and see what he was doing.
Terran being interesting was an understatement to Ajax. He usually liked to talk to people, see how they functioned, what they liked and didn't like. Terran wasn't like the only introverted and snarky person he had ever been interested in learning about, but that didn't matter. He may have only known him for a day or so, but he knew that he liked being around him, especially bantering with him.
When he had to go back to the Bird Kingdom, he'd be glad he met him... even if his annoying personality got him kicked out of the house.
Ajax woke in the most Ajax way possible... tangled up in the blanket in the weirdest way possible face down on the floor. He groaned and stubbornly stayed in that position for a few more minutes until the ache in his wings was just too much. He slowly got up and gently stretched them, grumbling about how sore they were going to be for the rest of the day and the next if his luck was as it was normally.
Opening the door to the closet in the bedroom, Ajax looked through it, realizing with a chuckle that of course Terran didn't have pants, and set his bags inside after taking a new pair of clothes (and his leather jacket of course), grabbing a towel from the closet and getting ready in the bathroom... which he had found after wandering around aimlessly for a while, tiptoeing as to not wake Terran up.
He hated the dreadful process of waking up, but he was in fact... an early bird and rarely woke up after 6 AM most days, unless he had a good reason to sleep in. He took a breath and looked at himself in the mirror for a second, trying to smooth his ruffled wings down before applying gel to them to make sure they stayed perfect the whole day. He actually spent quite a long time in the bathroom getting ready in usual, surprising no one, and while he was every synonym of reckless and impulsive you could possibly think of, he was extremely meticulous about his appearance. Not a feather could be out of place.
On his way back to the room, he stopped by Terran's room, contemplating peering in to see if he was awake (Ajax had never done well staying alone when he knew there were others around him), but contrary to popular opinion, he did not have a death wish... Okay he did, but even he knew that it probably wasn't a good idea to mess with Terran or wake him up this early in the morning if he wasn't already awake or wasn't a morning person.
Ajax had no clue if he was, but he didn't want to screw around and find out in case he wasn't. He liked his limbs firmly attached to his torso thank you very much.
I can't believe it took me a month to answer;-;Mag, I'm sending you a hoard of chocolate in my thoughts I swear
Ajax followed curiously behind him, moving out of the way quickly when he realized he was blocking Terran from locking the door. He turned his head to look around, finally getting a chance to actually look around when Terran wasn't trying to murder him for trespassing. It was almost easy to forget Ajax was half bird when he wasn't preening over himself of perching on the nearest stool-like object, but he looked starkly avian as his eyes flashed slightly in the darkness, using his night vision to gaze upon the gorgeous plants, some with magical properties that caused them to give off magical particles that Ajax was able to see with his falcon eyes.
He managed to shake himself out of it by the time
Terran led him to the very back of the greenhouse where his house was placed, and couldn't help but be very interested in the place that Terran lived in before he really saw it. Would it have many plants? Would it be colorful? Would it be mess- no, Terran was much too orderly to have a messy home. Ajax would have to be on his best behavior and remember to not leave his things everywhere if he hoped to learn more about him, which he very much intended on doing wholeheartedly.
He lugged his bag behind him with one hand and halfheartedly pushed a few strands of his long hair out his face, tired from the long day he had and remembering enough of his manners to take off his shoes at the door.
"No, I like it, and thank you... for letting me stay here with you." He was quick to respond, fully meaning it.
"Got it, I'll try not to wake you up with a rager in the middle of the night!" He chirped after Terran told him where everything was, speeding up towards the room Terran labelled as temporarily his, not wanting to get hit by Terran's tail but not being able to stop his urge to be- well, Ajax.
"Goodnight Sweetheart~~" He practically sang before closing the door, practically falling unconscious as soon as his body fell back on the bed, sleepily deciding to unpack the next day.
