[Video; UN: chrysalis]
[After the less than desirable events that took place after the LmaO championship, Haga decided to pretty much stay holed up inside his quarters and not really talk to or interact with anyone. Which was likely a terrible idea considering he was still covered in bandages from the wounds caused by the wings that sprouted on him, and some Moonlacing could help patching those up in no time, but he didn't wanna risk it.
He had been feeling pretty weak the past days though. The lack of Chroma finally taking it's toll on him. He's likely one step away from his body crystallizing, but he doesn't really know. And to make matters more complicated, this is his first mooncycle.
After waking up, he's surprised and shocked to find that wings have sprouted on his back and that's enough to make him jump from bed and brace himself for more of them, just like when Majestas showed up. But they never come.
When the initial shock is gone, he does get pretty hyped up about his new bright green moth wings, not to mention the light green fluff around his wrists.
And, as expected from someone like him, he makes sure to broadcast his new features and brag about them, paying no mind to the fact everyone is gonna see his bandaged up arms in the feed.]
How do you like that, things are finally looking up for me! [He beams, wings flapping behind him.] It was about time something truly good happened to me in this place!
So... this is what those moon phases do, hm? I certainly don't see what you people are always complaining about, this is awesome! But I guess I would complain too if I didn't look this cool. [He adjusts his glasses, as confident as someone can be.
Then his stomach grumbles. Loudly.]
Geez... I've been really hungry since I woke up, what's up with that? [He mumbles mostly to himself, deciding to ignore that for now.]
Nevermind that, the point is I look far better than any of you out there and that's a fact! [He giggles to himself before cutting off the feed.]
(( ooc: for those who saved him at the amphitheater, feel free to poke him here and demand he thank you for your help because otherwise he won't do it (not because h isn't grateful, but because he's too proud to admit he needed help...) ))

But I guess I can't sit here and whine about it. It's not like Chroma is just gonna magically appear in my account if I stay here. [Still there's a sigh from him.]
I've been feeling kinda weak these past days. Is it because I'm lacking Chroma?
no subject
If you are in need of a hand to hold, I might offer mine. [A very buggy hand.]
no subject
[Actually a buggy hand doesn't sound bad at all.]
I was gonna say, you look... very interesting. Are you some sort of humanoid insect?
no subject
[What do humans have to do with anything, tbh.]
no subject
With that said...]
Ah, knew it you were a bug! [Haga's new wings flap behind his back and there's a small smile on his lips.]
Heh... It's really cool to meet an insect that can talk! What's your name? [Mine's Haga! He's very uncharacteristically friendly towards this new acquaintance, maybe because he's the one being biased right now.]
no subject
[Grimm bows, low and polite. It's rare to meet someone with a bias towards insects instead of against them - he's particularly charmed by Haga right now.]
Ops, just saw that I put part of the dialogue in the action tag on my last reply XD
[Honestly, you can't find someone with a more positive bias towards insects than this mess of a teen, guaranteed.]
Anh... I hope you were not joking about the hand holding offer. I really could use that right now. [And what better way to get Chroma than to be close to a bug? None really.]
it happens!
[He's adopting this teen now.]
I would not joke about something like that. Where might I find you?
no subject
Hm, well, my place is on level 2, and I really need to eat something. [He pauses to think about it for a moment.] There's a noodle shop nearby, we could meet there? [Noodles are a cheap option for someone like him who's low on Chroma.]
I should probably send you the address, hang on...
[There you go Grimm, he pings you the coordinates to the noodle place.]
to action
[Grimm is not a difficult man to spot when Haga arrives at the noodle shop. Partly because he's a bug, and partly because he's six feet tall.]
Ah, there you are. I took the liberty of finding a table.
Action! Sorry for the delay!
And Haga expected everything when he got to the noodle shop, except the fact that Grimm is waaaaay taller than he imagined. Haga thought he was around two feet at best! Needless to say, his eyes are wide and he has a dazed look on his face as he approaches the large bug sitting at the table.]
I-I didn't think you would be so... tall. [Is the first thing out of Haga's mouth when he takes a seat across the table.] I-It's kinda awesome. [He doesn't care how uncool that just sounded.]
Oh, hm, and sorry if I kept you waiting, I'm not exactly in the best shape... [He looks down at his arms which are still bandaged.] But thank you for meeting up with me, really.
no worries~
Why, thank you. [What a polite young man!] No need to fret. Allow me to recover some of your energy, if I may?
[He offers his hand for Haga to take. It's covered in carapace and not skin, but it's shaped more or less like a human hand would be, and Grimm is always pleasantly warm.]
no subject
He tries not to look too excited about the prospect of touching the hand of a bug, muttering a small 'excuse me' before he places his hand on top of Grimm's. A funny feeling prickles his skin when their palms touch each other, which he doesn't know if it's the Chroma or just his overall excitement.]
T-This is so cool... [Haga says almost to himself, a little lost in thought for a moment as he looks down at his hand. Even though he's trying to hide his eagerness the new wings on his back betray him, fluttering happily behind him.]
Sorry! I'm probably sounding like a weirdo!!
no subject
[After all, Grimm's certainly weird himself, and he knows he's fascinated with various things about humans. Turnabout is fair play.]
Your enthusiasm is flattering.
no subject
And its definitely not bad how the nagging pain from his bruises is slowly subduing the more he keeps his hand on Grimm's.]
From what kind of world did you come from? Are there more of you in it?
no subject
[Still a lot closer than humans.]
It is a dying kingdom suffering from a plague and a goddess' wrath, but those who still live are a good-hearted sort.
no subject
But then Grimm follows that up with not so great news.]
That sounds terrible! [Haga squeezes Grimm's hand a bit.] Did you find any way to reverse either of those?
no subject
[Canon points are complicated.]
no subject
How does your world look like by the way? It's probably very different from mine.
no subject
no subject
We really don't have cool places with floating jellyfish back home, that's for sure. [OK, there are some nice places on Earth, but still...]
Too bad you don't have pictures of those places to show me, I would love to see them.
no subject
[Photography's not really a thing in Hallownest, so it's unlikely, but still.]
no subject
I kinda wish I had something exciting to tell you about my world, but it's just like any other big city on Earth. [Domino didn't really have anything too impressive, specially when compared to a place like Lunatia.]
At least the place I came from had a lot of high end tech, so I wasn't too lost when I first got here.
no subject
[The most important part of someone's home is whether they like it or not.]
no subject
There's just some, hm, people I don't quite like there. So... I don't really know if I wanna go back. [He honestly didn't think much about Domino ever since he arrived. Troubles and unlucky situations aside, at least he could take his mind out of the things that bothered him the most back home.
Then he stiffens up a bit, looking up at Grimm's face again.] Sorry, it probably sounds bad that I don't want to go back because of something so dumb while your world is going through so much!
