Gilese... didn't sound familiar at all to me. I looked up at 13, who nodded down at me.
"...." I sat down on the grass and rubbed the back of my head. "Uh... what are you two doing this far from the facility?" I asked, pretending that I knew what was going on.
13 offered a small shrug in response. "Not sure," she said, "but..." Her eyes became cloudy. "I do know that there are other gods here."
I jumped to my feet. "Where're they? Who's the closest one?"
13 blinked, my voice knocking her out of the trance. ".... I'm not sure," she replied, sounding slightly defeated, "but--"
"SYDNEYYYY!" I shouted, grabbing the hand of my fiercest human creation and starting to run off, "SYD MELISSA RACHAEL JOHNATHAN OTHER RACHEL KATIE CORBYNNN!"
13 blindly followed. She wondered why her creator showed such recklessness when so many others could be around.

Kitty hurried to catch up to 13, but once at her side assumed a pace to remain there. "There are others?" she asked.

Eventually, I was tired enough to stop running. It didn't take too long for me to slow down. I leaned forward, hands on my knees, and panted. Damn medication.
13 looked to her sister and nodded, obediently at my side. "Several," she replied, grinning madly.

"Do I belong to yours?" Kitty asked, silently hoping she said yes.

The cry of Stephano only causes a few of the Flute wings to take flight. The chime of there wings a bit louder when played together.
I knew what the cry meant, but if they all took flight.... I glance down at my feet and spot several fanning there wings on the ground. Hesitantly I place a foot by one. It doesn't move.
"They're dormant?"
Wait, duh, their butterflies not moths.
Carefully I place a foot above one before stepping on it. I feel a bit bad for killing one of my thoughts, but know it necessary. I step on several more before carefully picking them up and offering them to Stephano.
Please don't startle. Please don't startle. I think glancing up at the mass of them.

Stephano gladly licked them up, then looked for more. Finding Sparrow's hands empty, he jumped to the trunk of the nearest tree and began making his way towards the butterflies. It was becoming apparent that he had a very large capacity for food.

I avoided shouting at Stephano as it would only end the same way. I go a bit pale when I see him approach the thick of them.
The majority Flute Wings don't seem to notice the small threat as it approaches. Several watchful ones take flight.

Stephano kept coming, eating any butterflies in his path. He was quite high in the trees at this point, and he spread his wings slightly to help himself balance.

"i find it difficult to believe that when you know my name." I said, watching him warily. "And if I knew, I'd tell you."

The Flute Wings started to sense something was wrong, when they start fanning more frequently shows this. Then one takes flight, barely avoiding being snapped up. It glides to the center of the mass before rapidly beating its wings. Causing an alarm like sound.
"Oh crud." I say snapping my hands over my ears just before it happens.
The entirety of the mass takes flight, forming a swarm. There wings played together cause a overly loud white-noise of chimes strong enough to shatter glass at close range. The sound would be heard for miles around. I continue to watch upwards despite the discomfort to watch Stephano.

Stephano was clearly irritated by the sound and he began viciously beating the insects out of the air with his wings and tail, continuing to try to snap them up.

I'm a bit more then surprised to see Stephano can stand the noise.
The Flute wings make no attempt to fight back and only form tight clusters. Ones that are even partly struck fall to the ground with crippled wing. The majority exit through the canopy and fly away.

Once most of the insects had left, Stephano proved not to be totally impervious. He curled up on a branch and began to wail, covering his head with his tail.

Worriedly I watch Stephano whine to high for me to reach him. I've never been able to climb trees...
"Stephano?" I call up gently, hoping he'll notice.
"Please come down."
I put my arms out as a message that I'd catch him. But I didn't know if he'd take notice.

Stephano made a high pitched squealing noise as he began to climb down. After a while, he simply jumped, spreading his wings to slow his decent. He landed on a branch near sparrows head.
