** Rambling about life, history, or interests for extended periods. Aurelians are taught to appreciate and reflect on history and passions and the history of passions sometimes. Their rite of passage is to recall and recite their entire family and flock history in extensive detail. It often takes many hours, up to a few days. So he can be chatty. On the plus side, he'll listen to the things you say and never feel like it's too much. He thinks people's idea of "long-winded" is child's play. | ** Rambling about life, history, or interests for extended periods.

Most common ones being, "Feathers / My Feathers", "Flame in the sky", and "Six flames." There are others, but those are the ones he uses the most. He can also be known to utter affectionate phrases with those themes, too if he feels strongly enough about it. Such as, "I love you from ashes to return."

** Currently, he's damn near impossible to offend for any significant length of time. Aurelian communication skills are instilled early. They communicate so effectively that they've never had a conflict that couldn't be resolved amongst themselves. Usually, a family conflict is solved within a day or two. And any conflict that lasts longer is worked on to find a good solution whenever it's possible. If someone has hurt ''him,'' Dekas is likely to check in on them first. In his mind people don't lash out if something's not bothering them already. People don't ask uncomfortable personal questions, make insensitive comments or touch his wings without asking out of malice. And people don't criticize him, even harshly, if they aren't trying to help him in some way. He's naive enough to feel that way about the majority. Even while he knows there are people who hurt others on purpose. He wants to believe it's less common than it is, or that people are actively willing to learn from their actions and do better at some point. Any disappointment, sadness, anger, or upset doesn't usually last long and he gets back to it with even more determination. In the event he's said or done something harmful on accident or during one of those moments of upset, then he is deeply appreciative of people who hold him accountable. | ** Currently, he's damn near impossible to offend for any significant length of time.
