what
[There is a flash of bright, gaudy colors roughly ten feet in the air above one of the park's equally gaudy fountains, a downward blur, and then a loud splash and a yelp.
Evidently, people can arrive here at most any point in space. Also, the water in Heartland fountains is apparently quite cold.]

no subject
(though he'd be laughing even more if he hadn't gotten sprayed a little when Heartland fell)
Thomas shifts a little on his perch atop the fountain, on a little plateau above where the water actually emerges, and blows smoke out of his nostrils between laughs. ]
Need a hand?
1/2
He heaves an exaggerated sigh and pulls himself to his feet.]
I appreciate the offer, my boy, but--
no subject
He looks slightly taken aback, and as if in solidarity, his over-embellished hat tips off his head and flutters down into the water.]
no subject
Thomas snorts, blowing out a few sparks in the process. ]
no subject
He sighs again. Nothing for this, he supposes.
Carefully, he peels off his coat, laying it neatly over the lip of the fountain before gingerly pulling himself out and dusting himself off.]
You've certainly, ah...updated your image.
[He brushes his hair out of his eyes and pushes the skewed frame of his glasses back into place.]
no subject
[ When has he ever been anything but this, after all?
(when has Heartland ever worn anything quite like that, for that matter?) ]
no subject
Well, from an...upstanding young man like yourself, it might be a bit of a shock to your fans...
[He pinches the soaked fabric of his shirt, debating whether to do something out it, then huffing and opting to leave it in its current place (that is, clinging to him very closely).]
no subject
[ And now he just looks confused as all hell. Tail twitching and curling, Thomas frowns down at Heartland from his perch. ]
What are you even talking about?
no subject
[He's watching IV a little more carefully now, as he flicks through cameras on his lenses and begins to notice that, yes, things are more out of the ordinary than he had expected.]
Are you not in the business of entertaining?
no subject
[ As if anyone'd even want to be entertained by something like him, anyway. ]
But you should know that.
[ He shifts on the fountain, blowing a few agitated sparks from his nose. ]
no subject
[He casts around him, trying to remember the directions to the nearest clothing store.
(but not forgetting about the dragon)
(the dragon who, at this point, is seeming much less like the IV he's seen)]
Do we know each other well?
no subject
You could say that.
[ That and then some. ]
no subject
That well, hmm...?
[He leans in slightly, smiling.]
How very interesting.
no subject
[ He tilts his head, raises an eyebrow. ]
So what are you? Some kinda weird fae copy, or...?
no subject
[The notion doesn't seem to sit well with him, and he tuts.]
I assure you that I'm the genuine article, boy.
no subject
no subject
Then he forces himself to smile.]
Different circumstances, I suppose.
Perhaps you should fill me in on yours?
no subject
no subject
[Huff.]
I think you'll find that I am exactly who I appear to be.
no subject
It's not difficult.
no subject
[He doesn't let the actual extent of his irritation show through, of course.]
I may not be the one you know, but I am certainly not some kind of mimic.
no subject
[ He tucks his wings in, leaning forward. ]
no subject
It would explain you, don't you think?
no subject
Like... other worlds?
[ Hadn't Byron done some research on that, or something? ]
no subject
[He adjusts his glasses, still flicking through cameras idly.]
Two entirely separate versions of oneself. It's an interesting situation, don't you think...?
no subject
[ Thomas contemplates Heartland for a few long moments, then spits a few sparks out in his general direction and turns to face the other way. ]
Well. If you're not the Heartland I know...
[ He shrugs a little and curls his tail. ]
