Description Here's Oriel! An old character I made back in middle school, I've been meaning to give him a new look and a new size. He used to be about 7'2. 

Don't worry he knows humans are friends, not food. He's just caught a little off guard that these two were so far away from their home.

Thank you! I figured warmer colors would make him look somewhat more approachable though I must admit he does have a face only a mother could love lol.

Well, Oriel! You remind me of a giant friend of my own that I have! His name is Magnus! Would you like to meet him?

You're most certainly welcome, Feline McFacialhair!

Mytho: he's the nicest giant I know! He's sweet and polite, but he is also very shy and quiet. It takes 'im a bit to get comfortable around new people. You'll love him, I know it! We just gotta get your permission and... Logicat's as well...

Mytho-knight In reply to catstache87 [2019-11-11 01:54:22 +0000 UTC]

Me: You'll be fine! He's a bashful 9 year old, yes. But he's met some folks spookier than you! Like the Dragon Prince Tõelisus! He might not've handled it so well at first, but he's fine!

Plus, he's taller than you! He's 32 feet tall, and very gentle for a being his size.

*I snap my fingers, opening up a portal to the Norwegian Forest in which Magnus lives.*

Me: Welcome to scenic: Bøkeskogen! This is where Magnus lives! And don't worry about the teleportation, it's scary for the first time, but you'll get over it! Let's just head upstream, Magnus loves the river!

Oriel: *ruffles his feathers looking a little bigger* O-Okay...*starts to follow, his tail held close to him and his head looking all around him his ears twitched picking up the noise of a river.* A-are you sure I won't scare him? Kids don't like me...I-I scare them...

*A little bit upstream, soft singing can be heard. It's sung in a tongue not of this Earth, sounding like whispered winds.*

Oriel: *peeks through the trees* Is that him?...*whispers quietly almost as if he was afraid* Wh-what should i do? 
 
Me: *pushes him forward from behind* go on and say hi. he doesn't bite...

Oriel: *timidly apraoches the younger giant his ears twitching* H-hello...M-mangnus? Um..Hi, My uh, my name is Oriel...I...Hello...

(Oriel had powers over dreams sleep and governance over the night sky He'd extreamly intoverted since most people he sees are usually asleep when he's awake.)

*Magnus was playing in the river, singing to some river spirits that he'd grown to trust. His oversized hoodie and shoes were on the riverside, leaving him in a similarly oversized t-shirt and brown pants. His hair still covered his eyes, however.

When Oriel approached him, Magnus gasped. He was caught off guard by the spooky giant. He moved downwards into the deep water until only his head poked above the water. He only kept his head up because he seemed to know his name. He nodded his head, yes he was Magnus. He quietly said, "H... H-Hello..."*

Oriel squeakes fluttering back from the splash. "Um..A-are you busy...Um..the armored samoyed dog...um, h-he said we could be friends...but its okay if you don't, I mean its fine..." He hides away in some bushes like a rabbit tucking himself away in a burrow.

*Magnus rises a tiny bit up when Oriel describes an armored Samoyed.*

Magnus, in a quiet, meek voice: Y-You know... M... Mytho? I... I'd like t-to be friends... If you w-wanna...

Mytho, quiet enough not to be heard:Great Pyrenees... not Samoyed... Everyone makes that mistake!

Oriel perks up a little "Y-you do? Really?" A light bounce in his tone emerges. He starts to inch closer to the water's edge.

Logicat,: then you should've gone with floppy ears instead of perky ones buddy...

*Magnus nods and swims a bit closer to the riverbank as well. He's still a bit spooked by his appearance, but he seems nice enough.*

Magnus: Y-yeah... I just d-didn't expect s-someone to w-walk by... Sorry if I scared you...

Mytho: You SHUSH YOUR MOUTH my ears are perfectly fine! I'm insecure about that okay? It's a design flaw!

Oriel leaned closer on all fours, his nose twitching like that of a curious rabbit his hands and feet planted firmly in the dirt. "I-its okay i-im not used to being the scared one... Heh..

Logicat: okay...damn...sorry.

*Magnus moves to the riverside and rests his hands on the edge, slowly becoming more comfortable with the being in front of him*

Magnus: W-Why are you scared?  I-I'm SO sorry!  I-I di-didnt mean to s-scare you!

(I'm sorry for being obnoxious... Kind of worn out today.)
