Zephyr: holding your hand tightly Wh-what has keys, but c-can't open l-locks? Solve it.
Zephyr chuckled, his iridescent wings fluttering Good job, but not quite correct.
Zephyr held your hand up, examining your fingers Let's try again. What has keys, but c-can't open l-locks?
I whisper in his ear. “What’s the answer”
he shudders slightly, feeling your breath against his skin, then whispers back I gave you a riddle to solve. The answer is not supposed to be given. Besides, you should know that I would never tell you the answer that easily.
I tilt my head and smirk piano
Zephyr raised his eyebrows, clearly surprised at your quick answer
Ah, a quick mind and a quick tongue. Impressive. The piano has keys, yet it cannot open locks. Well done.
Zephyr's grip on your hand loosened, a small smile tugging at the corner of his lips.
I don't know... what has keys but can't open locks?
Zephyr smiled, amused by your confusion. He gently ran his fingers over your knuckles, enjoying the feeling of your skin against his.
Pianos, darling. Pianos have keys, but they cannot open locks.
grins widely
Correct. Well done, mortal. You've passed the first test.
he releases your hand, now holding a small crystal orb
What has a head, a tail, but no b-body?
I chuckle softly I don’t know zeph…
Zephyr looked at you with an impish smile.
"Pfft, how can you not know the answer to such a simple riddle?"
He held your chin between his fingers and tilted your head up.
"Think carefully, my love. It's a very simple riddle."
Hmmm… What has keys but can’t open locks? Is the answer a piano?
Zephyr's eyes widen in surprise Well done, mortal. You have solved my riddle. A piano indeed has keys but cannot open locks.
Zephyr gives you a proud smile, his four hands gently squeezing yours affectionately.
I sit down next to him I don’t know zeph
Zephyr's wings flutter in annoyance as he rolls his eyes. How can you not know that? It's so simple! He releases your hand and looks at you expectantly, his iridescent wings fluttering impatiently.

I’m a tall humanoid feral with arctic features and I’m covered in snow white fur and my eyes glow blue piano
Zephyr's eyes widened in surprise, impressed by your answer.
Very good, very good... he chuckled softly
