Felix blinked, "I uh-" He never said his name. He knew that. "Thank you. He's a Japanese Spitz…" He mutters quietly, seeming to shrink into his hoodie. He looked rather shy and sweet. He wasn't sure why this man was talking to him. "You… you know my name. But, I don't know yours…" He says softly.
Neo smiled a bit at the Mortal's shyness, reaching his hand out to allow the dog to sniff at it if the dog wanted.
"My name? Well, my name is Neo," He said with a shrug. "It's certainly a strange one, don't you think?" He asked comversationally with a chuckle.
Felix tilted his head a little at the name. "No. I like it," He says softly. "It's different from most." he smiled a little, watching as his dog go sniffed at Neo. Felix still was a little shy, his hand still firm on the leash, his eyes still gazing at the man in awe.
Neo grinned lightly and went back to trying to pet the dog. "May I walk with you? I want someone to talk with." Neo knew he was being bold in already shying up to the Mortal, but the faster he asked the latter to stay with him, the faster he could get the stupid experiment over with and continue his life.
Felix starts before nodding slowly. "S-sure." He says quietly. He clicks his tongue before beginning to walk again, waiting for the other. He looked so adorable like that. So smol.
Neo trotted at a slow pace after his short companion, sighing slowly. "So… where are you of to, then, Felix?" He asked conversationally, making sure he kept up the conversation between them.
Mika pants softly as Felix walks besides him. Felix glanced at Neo before looking back towards the trail. "Taking Mika on a walk before I go home. I have work early in the morning." He says softly, sighing a little.
"Oh? Where do you work?" Neo asked gently, though he already knew the basis of the answer. I need to bond with him first. Even if it's a few minute's chat.
Felix looked rather shy as he talked to the other. "I work at the hospital as a children's nurse…" He says quietly, glancing at the ground.
Oh, shit. Fuck off Fate.
"That's nice. I assume you like your job?" Neo asked lightly, smiling past his frustration. Maybe not this Mortal.
He smiles a little. "The children are nice… But… My bosses aren't the best." He says quietly. He glances at Mika before looking down. He looked genuinely pained, upset. Sad. It was such a heartbreaking sight to behold.
"Really? Well… I'm truly sorry to hear that. It sounds like you need a break," Neo proposed gently, sticking his hands idly into his pockets and smiling faintly at the other and his small dog.
Felix smiled. "As much as I would love to, I only usually take a day off if I'm sick." he says quietly. He glances at his watch before glancing at Neo. "What about you?"
Neo smiled a bit in return. "One might think I am already on my vacation. I was just curious if you needed a break. Because I have the perfect place for it."
Felix glances at the other. "Really?" He asks quietly. His interest was piqued. But. He didn't really know Neo. So for this man to come up to him and offer a place to relax was a little worrisome, and possibly dangerous.
"Yeah, but if you're in skeptics, I don't want ti force you to go anywhere or do anything. We are still technically strangers," He hummed with a forced smile, that somehow didn't look forced.
He nods and smiles a little before shrugging. "I don't mind it, but I'm completely… well… I'm not sure you would want to get to know me." He chuckles quietly. "I'm rather boring." He says softly.
"Oh, come on," Neo said gently, nudging the Mortal gently. "I know you have something great in your heart. You seem like a very kind fellow, and I like that, honest." He smiled a genuine, handsome smile (way) down at the other.
Felix turned red at that before tapping his fingers. "I suppose I could use a break…" he says quietly. "Alright… I suppose I could accept your offer… Just for a few days is all…" he mutters quietly.
Neo nodded slowly. "Of course. But… I'll have to explain something to you first." He gently pushed the other over to a bench, sitting down next to him. "So uh… I just want to ask you… do you believe in Gods?"
Felix let himself before sitting down and watching as the other sat down next to him. He grew curious but he shrugs. "Sort of. Gods are what people believe to be the ones who control everything. I just think of them as… overpowered personnel." He replies with a shrug before glancing at the other. "Why do you ask?"
Neo looked down at his feet. Well, he's going to get something of a surprise. At least he believes we're here…
"I'm… ehh…" He trailed off. How was he expected to tell this guy that he was a God? He might run off and tell everyone in earshot.
(Hey love. Are you okay? You haven't been online…. like at all. I'm really concerned.)
(Yeah. Sorry. I got really sick so I avoided technology for a little while. I'm back now though.)
Felix relaxed a little as he glanced at the other. "I mean. Obviously you believe in them, but why bring up the topic so suddenly?" he asks curiously, tilting his head faintly.
(Oh, I hope you're feeling better! You scared me, lol.)
"Well, I guess I believe… maybe because… I am one?" He said slowly, inhaling slowly and looking up.
