"you are my new pillow" with hubie pleassee he deserves some netflix and chill for once in his life

yess, Happy Birthday Hubert! He deserves many snuggles today.

Fluff Prompt: “You are my new pillow.”

Word Count: 2,517

There are moments where you expect to die. You wonder if anyone will care if you do. You realize your life has been meaningless. You never even made it to the Officer’s Academy last year. What a sad and useless existence.

Those are the thoughts Y/N had while sitting in a closet in Eastags Manor. It was currently being stormed by the Imperial Army. Why they would want that land was obvious. They were on the border of the Kingdom and Empire, as well as being a sturdy stone fortress. If not headed by her Father and Brother, it would have actually been easy to defend.

That night, they had been drinking while the Imperial forces used a Thunderstorm as cover to get close. The heavy rain served a purpose in their plan. Y/N was hiding, holding a sword she barely knew how to use.

She heard the door creak open, and then heavy footsteps. Whoever it was must have known this was someone’s room, and for good reason. It was covered in Black Roses Y/N had grown by herself. Why black? Maybe because of the war. Maybe because she liked them.

Whoever it was, they were standing in front of the closet. She was trying not to breathe. Maybe they wouldn’t realize she was there. A lost dream, she realized, as the door ripped open. Shit. Of course, with her luck, this was bound to happen, wasn’t it?“Ah, Hubert Von Vestra. What’s an Imperial General like you doing here? I haven’t even cleaned. Do you want some flowers? Maybe some coffee or tea?” She asked nervously. He sighed, seeing the sword in her hands.

“What is your name?” He asked. “And don’t consider lying. It will get you nowhere.” His voice was pretty intimidating. Yeah, her sword skills were going to get her nowhere with the Imperial General. She placed it on the ground beside her.

“Y/N Eastags. I don’t have a crest, if that’s what you’re going to ask. Are you going to kill me?” She asked. She didn’t know why she was asking, as she didn’t really care.

“Your father told us that none of his children had borne a crest. Not yet. I believe your father is attempting to work something out with the Emperor. Neither of us are really taking him seriously, however. This may be the ending of your life, I’m afraid.” He said. “I’m supposed to escort you to the rest of your family, if you’ll accompany me.”

He held out a hand to her, which she took hesitantly. She had been training that day, and Hubert took note of her dancer attire. She saw him looking. “I was training to be a dancer for the Kingdom. My teacher left about an hour ago.” She stated.

“It suits you.” He said. They were walking down one of the longer hallways, the one which held the shrine for Y/N’s mother. Above it was the Eastags’ Holy Weapon, a sword that her mother had been able to wield.

In the rain that night, Y/N decided that her life wasn’t just going to go out. Maybe it was seeing her mother’s portrait. Maybe it was the sound of her father and brother proposing stupid agreements down the hallway. Whatever it was, she grabbed the sword off the wall.

While she had meant to take on a fighting pose, she didn’t she couldn’t help but look at the weapon in shock as it reacted to her crest. She held it in her hands, a slight smile on her face. Had her father really never had her tested? Or had he just lied to her?

“Emperor Edelgard!” Hubert called down. Y/N had almost forgotten the situation as she heard the Emperor’s name. It was so strange, getting into an attack position with that sword. She had never seen the Emperor before, and the woman just seemed to look right at her.

With this sword, for the first time, she felt seen. She saw her father come up the stairs, ready to apologize for her, but even he seemed impressed for once. “Y/N,” Edelgard began, “How do you feel?”

“Alive.”

A deal was worked out that evening. Y/N even agreed to it. She and the Holy Weapon would travel to Embarr, where she would live and train as a member of the Imperial Army. In the meantime, her family would continue business as usual. They would serve the Empire, while serving as a space to house Cornelia while she prepared to use troops to take the Faerghus throne.

Of course, Y/N was expected to leave as soon as she was ready, and not to pull any stunts. So, Edelgard left her with her most intimidating general. Someone she couldn’t imagine Y/N trying to stop. That being Hubert. They got into a carriage together, she still being in her dancer clothes and him helping her with her bags.

He watched her lay across some of the seats, seeing her smile for the first time as she stared out of a window. The rain was still pouring down. “In all of the daydreams I had about getting away from here, I was never being escorted to Embarr by an Imperial General. Instead, I was a stowaway.”

“You wanted to get out of here?”

“Did half of my dad’s ideas involve my death?” She gave a sad laugh. “He’s been like that since mom died. Not that he ever liked me, but it was better with mom. He insisted I never get tested for a crest, because where my brother failed I shouldn’t succeed. I’m sure he hates me even more now, since he has to work with the Empire.”

“I take it your father doesn’t like the Empire then?” Hubert asked. “My father wasn’t an especially… Happy story either. He was committed to making sure I was a good servant to Lady Edelgard. But, he was also a corrupt Lord.” Hubert explained.

“People like us find each other because of that.” She said. “At least you didn’t spend your life believing you were useless.”

“Without Lady Edelgard, I am useless.” He said.

She sat up. “Are you kidding? You’re, like, the scariest name in the Empire. I heard your name from my father at least as many times as I heard Edelgard’s.” She said. “You’re nowhere near useless.”

She didn’t see it, but he smiled slightly.

Two months. Y/N’s name around the palace had become synonymous with happy. After any battle, or any meeting, she could even Bernadetta smile. Well, she never saw Hubert smile. Edelgard would send her out into battles, and her dancing would help inspire soldiers to keep fighting. She was a dancer almost as good as the students had seen at the Academy.

Hubert knew that a girl already close to the Emperor and so… well… like her, would have many suitors far better than him. So, he would simply stay out of her way, just as he had used to for Edelgard. Better to be simply a helper behind the scenes than centerstage.

Of course, when he heard her dancing tapping against the floor in a usually empty room in the palace, he couldn’t help but peek in and watch. He loved moments like these, where he could watch her dancing by herself. All the practicing she did… it was no wonder she was so good. And her outfit…

“I can see you, you know. I like this room because it has that big mirror on the wall.” She laughed a bit. The laugh enchanted him further. He stepped in, seeing she had stopped and was watching him in the mirror.

“You shouldn’t be in here without permission. You are still only a guest here.” He explained. “Yet, you’ve seem to come to believe you are more than that these past months. You’re lucky Lady Edelgard likes you so much.”“Are you trying to scare me?” She asked. “Because if you actually come here to tell me off, you wouldn’t have been watching me dance for as long as you did. I don’t really take you to be someone who wouldn’t interrupt me if you had something you needed to say.” She crossed her arms as he came up closer behind her. “And you don’t scare me.”

“I am not attempting to scare you, but only trying to remind you that you are a guest here. You do not truly have status in the Empire, other than your new friends here who tend to be in higher standing.” He stated. “And if you aren’t afraid, you should attempt to make eye contact, rather than staring into a mirror.”

She turned around to face him, looking him in the eyes. “The way you speak makes it sound almost like I should join the family of someone higher than myself.” She thought for a moment, before smiling. “Perhaps the Von Vestra family? That name seems to get a lot of attention here.”

Hubert blushed as Y/N laughed a bit. “Apologies, that suggestion was not my intent.”

“I know, I’m just messing with you. Besides, if I did marry someone from the Empire, it would drive my father off the deep end.” She said. “How about we get something to eat? I seem to have lost track of time and missed lunch.” She went over and started grabbing a bag of things she had brought with her.

“I will accompany you for a meal, if that is what you are asking. Just know I cannot prevent any strange looks you might encounter for asking me to do as much.” He said.

“I don’t mind. You’re my friend, not them.” She said happily.

He watched her for a moment, comparing her to the girl he had met not too long ago. Had being in the Empire really made her this happy? If so, was the war they had been fighting at Edelgard’s side worth it? Had it all been worth it… Because he got to meet Y/N and see her smiling?

“Are you happy you’re here?” Hubert asked. She looked at him, her smile not fading away.

“I told you when we met. I always daydreamed about leaving home, and now I’m here. I love getting to be here.” She said. “You all have been so kind to me. If you all are waging war against Fodlan, there’s no place I’d want to be other than fighting at your side.”

On Hubert’s Birthday, he had to admit he felt a little disappointed. He had gifts and hugs and everything like that… Enough bouquets to decorate his room for months. Of course there was only one person he really wanted a bouquet from… and that bouquet had never come.

Or maybe it had. He wouldn’t know. He had apparently been avoiding her all day. She was in none of her usual rooms, not even her own. He hadn’t even seen her at lunch. Why? Had he done something wrong?

He was so tired from the day, he didn’t bother going to dinner. He instead told the Emperor he was going to his room, and of course she said okay to Hubert getting some rest. Dorothea and Ferdinand seemed to giggle as he walked by. Did they know something? It was none of his business.

Why was his room unlocked? He was so particular about locking it. Had he forgotten that morning. Or worse… Was someone in there? He stepped in cautiously, looking around the dark room. He then saw one of his candles light on his desk, so he looked over.

“Sorry, I know you’re tired, but I knew it was your birthday, so I had some things for you.” He saw Y/N, wearing a piece of Dancer’s attire that left… Very little to his imagination. She had a cake next to her, as well as a bouquet made of her own Black Roses. “The cake is flavored after the coffee beans you like so much. Ferdinand helped me get them.”

“And I assume Dorothea helped you with your outfit. Would that be correct?” She nodded as he stepped closer to her. “And here I thought you had been avoiding me. Turns out, this is quite the opposite.” He stated.

“It is.” She smiled. “I chose the outfit since you seem to like the other one so much, do you enjoy this one as well?” She was blushing, obviously not used to wearing such revealing attire.

“Indeed. However, I would like to see you dancing in this attire as well.” He stated, examining the cake a bit. “Did you bake this?”

“I did. It’s what took me all day. Maybe I’ll dance in this some other time, but you should try the cake. I want to know if you like it.” She said. He took a fork from next to the cake, using it to take a bite. “Is it good?”

“It is. Would you like a taste?” He asked, stepping in front of her.

“I would.” She said. She quickly felt his lips on her own, trapped in a passionate kiss with the dark mage. His arms found her back and waist, holding her closely. When they parted, they still stayed close together. “Is your birthday sufficient yet?” She whispered.

“Not quite.” He whispered back.

The next morning, Hubert had the new sensation of Y/N lying on his bare chest. One of her arms was strapped across him, while his found it’s own place softly rubbing her back and side. It was a perfect moment… one he wanted to have over and over again.

“Y/N.” He whispered.

“Yes?” She whispered back. “What do you need?”

“For you to marry me. To become a Von Vestra.” She sad up, and so did he. They looked each other in the eyes, and Y/N didn’t speak. “Have I managed to find you speechless?”

“Yes.” She said. “Mainly because in my head, my immediate answer was yes. I was already to the part where my father rips his hair out.” They both laughed briefly, before kissing softly for a moment. It was such a nice morning. “I have a condition, though. If you want me to marry you, anyway.”

He laid back down, and she resumed her position on his chest. “What is your condition?” He asked, having seen her smile when she had spoken the words, meaning it probably wasn’t anything too ridiculous.

“You are my new pillow.” She said, attempting to place a serious tone in her voice.

“You sell yourself short. You had enough of my attention to ask for anything.” He said. “But I’ll consider it.”

“Consider it?”

“I don’t know if the Emperor would be permissible to the idea of me sleeping in with you every morning.” He teased her.

“I do not sleep in every morning!” She complained. “Only most of the time. Oh, and that reminds me, I reserve the right to call you Hubie whenever I need.”

“... I may need to reconsider my proposal.”

session 33 - Introductions and Invitations

> 🎵 Sword Search on Koholint Island / LOZ: Link’s Awakening (2019) OST.

After having spent the whole of the morning walking around the group find themselves drawn to the smell of fish wafting around the city square and head over towards the nearby café to refuel themselves over lunch.

After being greeted by the upbeat waitress they seat themselves and begin pondering the menu. The feeling of the bright midday sun beating down on their heads while the cool seaside breeze blows through keeps them company amongst the townspeople in the city square.

Cimmorro: the image rn is finn cimm han plum rokka in the same table..... psalm also but at the edge??? Chip: dnd cafe marching order being determined rn Celebrity Guest Aki: WHY DOES THIS SOUND SO UNBALANCEDD Rokka: BC IT IS Psalm: achieving total mental blankness trying to imagine this Keva:

Finn: im ordering nothing because i literally cant eat or drink Psalm: just ask for the bloodwine alone Finn: yeah ill just inconspicuously ask for fish blood in isolation Plum: they got that just for you actually the blood drink, god put that on there for you finn Psalm: yeah we called ahead

Noticing Keva struggling with the menu, Cimmorro moves to lend her a land subtly. Meanwhile Plum tells Finn they can order the dish that comes with fish blood and split it with him if he’d like.

Keva: she's not really looking at the menu much.... you probably just see her watching everyone else and checking the number on the menu for the thing they order Cimmorro: okay well he's going to look at you for a good second, contemplating if he should offer to help but realizes that might be a bad idea so he's just going to go get the waitress' attention and go like "what would be your best sellers here? and what you would recommend?" Cherry: she hums and thinks "i'd say the sea bed or the prawn's eyes usually sell pretty well! the salty dog ale is a local specialty as well, id recommend it if you aren't made queasy easy" she says with a laugh Keva: trying to picture wtf sea bed and salty dog could mean Cimmorro: (dwfl he wanted to order the sea bed) cimm nods at her and looks at the menu "10 sp for the sea bed... fish and bread sounds appealing today huh i'll have one," he says alla this w/ intention for keva to hear. and adds, "i think i'll just have a glass of water though, thanks" Keva: she looks at cimm for a moment, silently feeling grateful, and says "same as him" tilting her menu a bit towards cimm and hands the menu back

Plum: plum turns to finn and says "i could order this," and points to the caver's treat, "and you could have the cup of blood that comes with it, if you're hungry." Finn: hes already spacing out when plum suddenly speaks to him, whipping his head around a little startled. "oh" admittedly, finn wasn't hungry, or thirsty, but plums attentiveness does touch him a little. he nods. "that is very kind of you plum... if you truly do not mind, then ... id appreciate that." Plum: "sure, no problem" plum says to finn and takes a sip from their drink. they wave the waitress over to order one ＣＡＶＥＲ＇ＳＴＲＥＡＴ

The Group’s Orders ~ 🐟

Plum: Reaver’s Luck, Caver’s Treat Rokka: Berried Salmon, Reaver’s Luck Psalm: Berried Salmon Han: The Phoenix, Fishers Teeth (takeout - Caver’s Treat ) Keva: Sea Bed Cimmorro: Sea Bed

Taking the orders, the waitress gives a nod and scuttles off. After a small wait the dishes are brought out, the scent of fish overpowering the place. The group find their meals appetising and begin to dig in and chatter amongst themselves. Finn stealthily transfers the bloodwine into a cup of his own he can discretely drink from while Keva wraps and saves a slice of the bread for later consumption.

Finn: he clinks his glass with plum to thank them for the fish but before he takes a sip he blinks "oh... what are we to do with the fish plum?" Plum: they clink their mug with finn's and then gives him a confused look. after a moment they look like they're trying not to laugh a little. "what made you think i wasn't gonna...eat it?" plum asks before picking up a fork. Finn: "i simply thought it might be a bit much.. is all.." feeling a little stupid for having asked now. "and it is meant to be eaten with the blood after all.. " Plum: "oh, nah. it was two gold pieces so i'd better finish it, honestly," plum says and starts eating. "also i don't really want the blood," they stop and make a hand gesture as if to say that finn can just go ahead and enjoy the blood himself. Finn: he fails to control himself and finish listening to plum, chugging the glass in one go, feeling particularly satisfied and sated for now. "ah, please... i will pay for it of course, you ordered this for my sake" he says quickly as if he didnt just drink that like a possessed man Han: finns eyes do the cat silly time thing Cimmorro: yess finn goo you fucking horse Han: vibrates in his chair cause he got the blood zoomies

Plum: "or we can just split it" plum says casually, not saying anything at the change in finn's demeanour for a moment there. it'd probably be rude to seem a bit surprised.

Rokka: “LOOKING GOOD” Cimmorro: "kinda pog as they say...." cimm gives his thanks to wee jasus christ and begins to eat in a decent pace... just focused on eating Rokka: halfway through chewing rokka talks with his mouth full, "watsh pogh" Cimmorro: cimm looks disgusted at you, once again, for talking with your mouth full. and just goes. "oh you know like- [does the pog face for a split second]" before going back to his food though he looks up at you again the next second and goes like "oh right. rokka, here." he slides 35gp across the table to you. "for the time at nickels." and he just goes back to eating Rokka: "ohhh so then if i wanted to say my food is "pog" i can just [makes the pog face]?" he looks down at the money "oh! you didn't have to pay me back....thanks though!" le pockets money Han: han goes (mgs ❗ noise) and starts fishing in her side pocket too "wait i owe you for bedroll and rope" and hands rokka X gold Rokka: he then turns to han "WHAT!!! NO, NO ITS OKAY!!" he tries to push it back to han Han: she doesn't even touch it again and goes back to food "i dont like being in debt" Rokka: he stares at the xgp before reluctantly taking it seeing as han refusing to take it back "alrigghtt. thanks hannn" Han: 😇 Psalm: he watches Rokka’s exchanges for a moment. "It just occurred to me that now would be a good time for that drink you owe me." Cimmorro: cimm looks at rokka and psalm and goes "i'm starting to learn that it's a bad idea to be in debt to you psalm" Psalm: "I think I'm pretty fair all things considered 😇 " Cimmorro: he just sighs and goes back to his food

Rokka: his head whips over to psalm like !!!!! "i-WHAT--oh! yeah....do you.......want to share my drink?" Psalm: "No I don't...?" Rokka: well, then.......what do you want?" Psalm: "One salty dog ale please (: ." Han: did chip plan for this joke. its too perfect? Psalm: WAIT YOU'RE SO RIGHT Han: I LEGIT THOUGHT IT WAS A GAG U WERE DOING AND LOOKED AT THE MENU Chip: LIFE FINDS A WAY....

Ghester: you hear a chuckle in your head followed by a voice that says "well he's a good sportsman about it" Psalm: "It was his idea to play." Rokka: he looks around "HUH WHAT?!" Ghester: "that makes a person more reluctant sometimes" he then laughs at rokka's reaction Psalm: he scoffs. Rokka: he abruptly stands up from the table and shaking the table in the process "OK WHATS GOING ON"

Getting agitated by Ghester’s repeated remarks, Rokka bolts up from his seat ending all other conversation in his wake, the rest of the party stares at him, grabbing their plates instinctually in case he flipped the table over. The waitress in the meanwhile hands Pslam his newly purchased drink on Rokka’s dime.

Ghester: "oh he's gotten excited" says the voice Rokka: “WHO!?” Psalm: psalm is just drinking casually

Cimmorro: when rokka finally settles down, cimm just looks at him like 🤨 before looking at psalm again, "speaking of being fair, why don't you tell us about your little friend... ghester? you said you'd tell us about them, no?" Psalm: * doesn't remember what he said * "Yeah alright. I introduced Plum and you already right?" Cimmorro: he nods "introduced us... but we don't even know who or what you introduced us to" Rokka: just looking up at the sky like "....hello?" Plum: they had jumped at rokka's reaction but at the mention of their name by psalm they think they can guess what's happening now. Finn: he was gonna reply to plum but because of all the commotion his attention is focused on psalm rn, but he is bouncing his leg under the table Keva: she just has no idea what's going on

Psalm: "Your guess is honestly as good as mine." @ ghester "You want to explain? I myself am not really sure what to say." Ghester: he chuckles before speaking into the rest of your heads "hmm... well you may call me ghester. i am a companion of sorts to your lovely friend psalm here. pleasure to meet you" Rokka: "ghost...........?" side eyes psalm Psalm: "No I don't think that's quite it." Rokka: “then what?” Psalm: he just shrugs Rokka: rokka slowly nods as if he gets it but he doesnt

Keva: she jumps a bit "what the fuck" Plum: plum shivers at the sudden voice in their head. "i really thought the cult would be the weirdest thing with y'all and yet." Han: she squints her eyes "can you like, read our minds? do you have a body? are you stealing psalms...?" han leans in quizzically and stares at psalm Ghester: he laughs "no i cannot read anyone's mind, not even his. nor do i hold any control over him, i dont think he'd quite appreciate me doing it even if i could" he thinks "i dont have a body, though i feel like maybe i did once, a funny thought to have these days" Han: she pouts thoughtfully but her brain is actually empty "hmmm" Cimmorro: damn so no cock penis? Han: hate your ass Finn: im just imagining the voice of the book from nier rn for this guy Chip: YOU SHOULD THATS HIM Plum: oh my god that was the decided voice, thats so horrible Han: liam obrien haunts us everywhere

Finn: he does squint at psalm, but he thinks that ghester’s voice is quite pleasant so its not like its a huge hassle. after psalm told them about this, at least. he is a bit irritated over having thought he was hallucinating it a while ago. Plum: "doesn't sound like he's been with you for too long" Psalm: "It's been a couple weeks. Maybe a month." Plum: "wow, that's shorter than i expected. i've already known you fuckers for a week by now." Cimmorro: he just kinda looks confused towards psalm and responds to ghester "uhh huh... are you the reason why he coughs smoke or..." Psalm: he’s just blinking at Cimm like oh you saw that lol whoops Ghester: "not directly, but its related. i guess you could say im a conduit for his magic. in charge of watching over him" Cimmorro: just shaking his head at psalm and how he said they've only been together for a short time... like what is wrong with yall

Finn: "and you just.... hid this from us?" Ghester: he chuckles at you finn "thats a funny response" Finn: "im sure it is after youve messed with all our heads" bouncing his leg quicker Psalm: "What reason would I have to tell you? It's not like I've known any of your for all that long." Plum: looking at finn like you good bro Finn: "if you didnt want to tell us you should do better to keep your parasite out of our minds then" Ghester: "ooh quite harsh" Psalm: “Right? Yeesh. Why am I being put on trial here? He called you a parasite (lol)." Cimmorro: "i get the feeling that you don't wanna share more about this. but i just wanna know if you communicating with the rest of us like this won't harm us in any way..." no video game rpg sanity drain so to speak Keva: squinting like wtf does magic do to you...... is orin okay...... Ghester: "oh nothing to worry about there, my job is to keep him safe. If you are his friends then this extends to you as well, quite the opposite of harm" he turns his attention back to you psalm and laughs at his joke Cimmorro: cimm just hums at this, not entirely convinced but it's good for now Finn: just staring at you for a moment longer before looking away, expecting psalm to understand without actually saying anything because he's awful. Psalm: Psalm just 🤨 ...? and just decides to go back to his drink. Finn: finn: dear uncle, ive witnessed another cringe moment. this is number 10 in the top15 list

Psalm: "I think friends is generous :j , but rest assured that for now your life isn't being slowly siphoned away from you or whatever it is youre worried about. At least I don't think it is /s" Ghester: "i wonder why you would even put the thought out...? Psalm: "Because it's funny?" Ghester: [sigh] Plum: "thanks, i feel a lot better about that now." Rokka: just staring at u dead on sarcasm flying over "wait......HAVE U BEEN FEEDING OFF ME" Ghester: he laughs jovially at you "theres nothing on you to eat dear boy" Han: han thinks 'damn... does he mean rokka has no brains to eat....'

Han: she thinks for a bit "do you have big range? before you cannot hear us?" Ghester: "hmm from wherever our good man here is standing i can hear about 120 or so feet...granted you yell when you are far away that is" Han: "does that mean you hear through psalm? and here i thought you would be useful for undercover work" han sighs a bit Psalm: "I have to agree with you on that one. Kind of disappointing." Ghester: "not necessarily, if he cant hear i still can. i can talk to you all if you are all that far away as well even if he himself isnt close" @ psalm "and here i thought you were my one ally at this table" Psalm: :j Han: "oh hmmm... that suppose that is useful..." han thinks abt strategies.. Keva: she sarcastically mumbles "just what i always wanted, a ghost from i don't know where doing god knows what, listening in on whatever i'm doing" Ghester: he laughs Rokka: he mumbles to himself after hearing this "scary..." Cimmorro: well then he stifles a small laugh and looks at keva "what could possibly go wrong, yeah?" Keva: "can't think of a single thing" Psalm: "It's thanks to him (and plum) we didn't lose your money to Rickert though. So I'd say for now the pros are more than the cons." Ghester: "oh such rare praise" Cimmorro: "oho is he not always this nice to you?" Ghester: "tis' a heavy burden i carry" Psalm: "Stop framing it like I'm picking sides" Ghester: [laugh] Plum: "true, and he's more personable than his host," plum says jokingly Psalm: "Alright, alright already." psalm waves everyone off Han: han is like 👁 but also snorting at this

Cimmorro: "aww you poor thing... psalm be more nice... i think ghester does care about you, you know... he immediately went to me when you were unconscious." Psalm: he just rolls his eyes Ghester: "well... as far as charges go i could have been given far worse" you feel a warm presence before he snickers "try not to bully him too much" Han: "far worse?" Ghester: "hmm well imagine if i were companion to someone completely silent...now that would be a trial" Han: she ponders the previous thought "you are right (@ ghester) at least psalm is funny sometimes." Psalm: 🤨 "Okay, pester Psalm hour is over now. Hope you all had your fun." SWATS THE AIR IN FUTLITY Ghester: [laugh] Plum: they wants to say we're not even talking to you we're talking to ghester but they'll leave him alone Keva: she snorts at the try not to bully him and pops a piece of bread into her mouth Cimmorro: he smiles at the warmth but also "no bullying, not even in your honor? you are so humble, king..." and just laughs at psalm swatting everyone off Psalm: "I try." Ghester: he laughs "you'll be fun to be around im sure" Keva: "oh he likes you" like someone talking abt a pet taking a liking to someone Cimmorro: "he knows how to pick them... " he laughs and responds to ghester "if you ever change your mind on bullying psalm, you know who to call"

Plum: "you changed your mind pretty fast, huh?" @cimmorro, plum is amused they're not making fun of him Cimmorro: "oh i'll still get him whenever i can. just leaving the offer with ghester in case he wants to join in." Plum: "oh, i meant on warming up to psalm's mind demon in the first place, but true" plum says Cimmorro: "oh well he's a charmer. what's not to like" he laughs Plum: "agreed" Ghester: "flattery will get you everywhere" Plum: "hah, i guess that's true ain't it." flattery's not really their thing, but they give an amused laugh.

Finished with their food and their curiosity over Ghester for the moment sated, some of the party get up to go pay for their meals while others continue to sit and chat. As they do Han continues messing about and pulling Ghester’s attention over.

Han: she covers her mouth with her hands and whispers to herself "ghesterrrrr can you hear me? tell psalm he looks like a strawberry." then get distracted and moves her hands "actually, can you move things? or are you simply ghostly" Ghester: "i cannot. lest i am a weapon psalm has willed me into and is...well using me to move things" a beat passes "all these ghost comparisons are amusing" Han: "ooooh... maybe living weapon... cool :D" Psalm: "He's what I've been fighting with this entire time." Keva: she’s gonna get up and head to the counter where she spies people paying for their food, and as she passes psalm she kinda gives a little shrug like "i tried" to change the subject lol Psalm: psalm nods, benedict cumberbatch salute

Han: she has lightbulb moment "your weapon that seems to change every time i look? and that you never actually carry on you?" Psalm: "Yes that would be the one."

To drive the point home psalm has Ghester discreetly apperate in his hands as a short sword for Han.

Cimmorro: psalm like yosuke persona 4 pulling out his katanas at the convenience store and gets arrested for it Psalm: I ASSUME EVERYON EELSE HER JUST HAS WEAPONS HONESTLY LIKE I THOUGHT THAT Cimmorro: NO ONE WHIPS IT OUT IN A RESTO Psalm: HDG WELL I DO NOW Cimmorro: AND THEN WE HANDED PSALM CHAN OVER TO THE POLICE

Han: "ghester, can i have you?? it would be super useful to change from bow to glaive in second.." han is v excited now Finn: he’s getting up yet, being intrigued by an ever changing weapon........but he feels too awkward to actually comment on it. he thinks han's reaction is kinda cute. Ghester: he laughs jovially again "sadly you cannot have me, him and i are bound. you'll have to look elsewhere, though im flattered by the thought" Han: "aww booo" han pouts and flicks at the sword (if its in arms reach anyway) Psalm: "I'm amazed you even asked honestly." on the outside psalm is :/ but on the inside psalm is like 😏 Han: HAN LOOKS AT PSALM PUZZLED Psalm: PSALM JUST LOOKS BACK AT HER LIKE WHAT? Han: she shrugs and lets it go

Chip: the pact is marriage <3 Keva: exactly, ordained by psalm's patron Psalm: why areyou trying ot homewreck me he's happily married Cimmorro: damnn psalm already taken before this campaign even started... how can we homewreck that beautiful marriage Chip: next quest Psalm: OI

Having had their fun messing with Psalm the rest of the group get up to go pay for their meals. The party idle around deciding what to do next, as they chat Han orders and waits for an additional meal to be prepared for her to take back to the Swallow’s Perch for Ferrie and the others.

Han: oh before everyone starts leaving han is like "oh oh oh, ferrie chris insists everyone stay at the swallows perch.. its free food and bed " Rokka: "WHAT" Han: "yea :D" Finn: finn gives you this look 🤨 Han: "you included" Rokka: rokkas tail wagging at mach speed bc free roof and food epic!!! "THATS AWESOME!!! TIME TO GO PACK THEN" he quickly gets up and immediately heads home to do as he said Han: han waves bye :D.... Rokka: waving in the distance as he runs off Finn: "i ... see" he cringes at the fact that he will need a new residence soon, and that this is the most convenient option. however, he absolutely doesn't want to be stuck with the others. bad enough that they'll have to travel together for so long

The group split off their separate ways, Han sticking around to wait for her food, though Finn also sticks around to continue chatting with her about Ferrie’s offer.

Finn: finn rolls his eyes and crosses his arms. "ugh. not much of a choice, is it?" he pulls up his scarf more before continuing. "if you want me to stay so badly theres something youll have to do for me first." Han: HAN LOLS INTERNALLY and cocks a hip "what might that be? dont overestimate how badly i want you" Finn: finn makes a grimace, you can tell from his visible eyes. "ive no interest in women, give that up this instant" (so full of himself he believes that) he begins rubbing his temples. "anyway, itll give you an opportunity to be closer to me, i suppose." and motions for you to come closer Han: han guffaws "what?? and i have little interest in small men that cant handle me. whats that got to do with your favour?" she seems entertained and leans in Finn: finn is confused by hans push and pull, was she hoping to charm him somehow like this? when she leans in he yanks her down more to a comfortable level (by her hair) and whispers "i will say this as clear as i can to" an insult lies in the tip of his tongue but his scolding uncle appears in his mind "you. i want you to stealthily move my coffin to that inn, once i have to leave my quarters. youre the strongest so i trust youre capable. ill reward you if need be" Chip: WHY IS THIS THE GREEN M&M COPYPASTA JUDE ? Cimmorro: P;'TLQ30TO305O-0RQOFASF CHIP ILL ILLL MAUL YOUHG Finn: finns done fighting w cimm he needs someone new to hate him Psalm: finn's moral compass is his uncle its not even an angel devil him situation, its vorde

Han: han’s entertained demeanour drops immediately as her hair gets grabbed and shes mad and even madder that she didn't catch that so she just grabs finns hand painfully as he holds her hair and whispers with contained anger without even listening to whatever finns saying "dont do that. if you want to play friendly." Finn: he winces when she grabs his hand like that. normally he would not yield just yet but a fight in direct sunlight, with their bulkiest party member, is not what he needs. he lets go of her hair quickly. "i assumed it was fine to be playful around you. my apologies." <- genuinely meaning this Han: han is silent for a second "... just not the hair" and she drops finns hand "what did you say you need" Finn: "note taken. not the hair." he rubs his hand before going on his tip toes to talk to her instead this time. "i need you to move my coffin the day i move out. but obviously i dont want the whole city to see us with that thing, if you catch my drift." taking on a neutral, dry tone. Han: han thinks briefly "consider it done. i can burrow the inns cart and hide your coffin... actually, what exactly .. is it." Finn: finn blinks a little in surprise, not having expected her to still do it after he's pissed her off. his eyes get a little bigger, 🥺 like. "you will? i.. thank you. we can work out the details closer to my departure..." Han: han is like augh 🙄 at the puppy eyes bc she is immune to them "yea, just tell when to show up" Finn: "ill let you be on your way then." going off his tippy toes and waving goodbye for now Han: han waves him bye too......... cherry wheres my takeaway Cimmorro: how yall going to explain to ferrie chris abt finn's coffin Keva: dont worry about it its his burden to bear Celebrity Guest Aqua: His jesus cross to drag

After waiting a few more minutes Han is handed her takeaway, she soon scuttles her way back to the Swallow’s Perch with the meal, heading in she notes that Cimmorro isn’t back yet either. She promptly hands the food over before getting ready to work on the clock for the rest of the day. Layne joyfully takes the lunch as its handed to him, Ferrie steals a bite from it as well while Jessep stares at it and remarks he's full.

Soon after the two’s conversation, Finn heads back to the blacksmiths to get his rapier worked on for the day, finding no need to head over to the Swallow’s Perch for the moment. The rest of the party head to their inns to prepare and transfer their belongings over, Plum and Cimmorro however make a brief stop off at Vinny’s store first to check in on the goings on and to see if he’s returned yet.

The two glance at the building once they reach it, though it doesn’t exactly look to be open. Squinting through the window they see Cole bumbling around behind the counter in the back. Cimmorro waves at her from beyond the window though she doesn't seem to notice prompting Plum to knock on the glass instead.

Cole: you see her head swoop over like : D ? before she recognizes the two of you, and comes over to the front door, appears it was locked after all, as she wrangles it open the bell jingles "hey guys!" Cimmorro: cimm goes hiya and asks her if everything's been good around Plum: "hiya, i'm just here to buy one or two things" Cole: "yep I've just been cleaning up since vinny still isnt back" she tilts her head with a sigh before turning to you a bit more chipper plum "oho... were closed but ill make an exception for my new pal" she gives you a wink and ushers you in Plum: they jump a little at that and are a bit embarrassed now. a bit red, they scratch the back of their head and say, "i mean, you don't have to. i was just lookin' for shit to buy for my mom and pop before they got here... nothing serious." Cole: "aw dont worry about it, and if its something that easy then its all good for me to let ya nose around" she smiles as she waves her hand Cimmorro: "still no show huh, don't have any news when he'll be back too?" Cole: she frowns as she walks over to the counter "no... but if he isn't back tomorrow ill go over and see if they'll let me poke my head in..." she shakes her fist "he's...got important obligations here... yknow!" next to her one of the cats on the counter meows Cimmorro: he leans over and tilts his head looking at the cat "indeed, very important obligations." he pats the cat's head. "oh but don't get into trouble trying to get him though haha... in any case i oughta be going but i'll be peeking in from time to time. let him know i'm looking for him if you get the chance though, yea? thanks cole" he gives her a smile before gesturing to plum that he'll be heading back first Cole: she folds her arms "aauugh guards and wizards.... but sure thing, i'll...twist their arms somehow!" she gives you a cheery wave as you trot off Cimmorro: he kinda just smiles while shaking his head at that as he walks on off Plum: plum waves goodbye to cimmorro. they're kinda curious because they thought cimmorro was gonna buy something but whatever.

Going off ahead Cimmorro trots off back to the Swallow’s Perch noting Vinny still hasn't been able to return to his own store just yet. Walking back he gets a quick idea and shoots off a sending spell towards him to ease his mind over Cole and Ezra’s current statuses.

Cimmorro: "yoohoo, this is cimmorro. we found cole and ezra all safe and well. they've been back at your store since yesterday. no need to worry." Vinny: after a brief pause you hear a quiet sigh of relief in your head followed by words said in a whispered hush "i cant quite speak right now but. thank you so much, i mean that genuinely" followed by the typical silence Cimmorro: cimm scrunches his face a bit but will continue going abt his merry way then

Soon after he makes his way back to Swallow’s Perch, second after Han, and settles in their shared room. In the meantime Plum takes the time to pick out a few items from the store shelves as gifts for their family, chatting with Cole once they bring them back over to the counter to purchase them.

Chip: the cat seems to stare at you for the duration of this transaction Plum: "what's this one's name?" Cole: she turns her head and scratches its head "this ones coal" Plum: plum snickers. "what? did vinny name this one before or after meeting you??" Cole: she laughs "before! before! this guy here's my senior teaching me the ropes" the cat starts purring Plum: "right, how long have you been round here again?" Cole: she stretches back thinking "hmmmmm a year ago now...probably two actually" she scratches her chin "it's a nice city though, the airs so ...fresh around here even though its so busy" Plum: "yeah it is nice. too bad i'm not sticking around for much longer, i wanted to see the ocean better " plum says, mostly conversationally. "anyways, thanks for the stuff. and good luck getting that wizard lady to let go of vinny, also." plum huffs out a laugh. "poor guy." Cole: she pumps her fist "im getting him back here at some point at least! maybe ill wrangle ezra into it..." she thinks to herself before turning back "you should head down to some of the docks soon, they're real fun for peoplewatching" she says with a smile walking over with you back to the front door Plum: [pumps fist in return] "maybe i'll do that later then, thanks. seeya." Cole: she sees you out with a wave and locks the door behind you as it jingles, getting back to...you're not sure what she was doing actually. Finn: PLUM GOT HER ROUTE UNLOCKED Han: DONT SQUANDER UR CHANCE FOR A CUTE GF Plum: i will Han: oTL

Content with their purchases Plum heads back to their inn to begin their transfer to the Swallow’s Perch. Slightly ahead of them, Psalm and Rokka return to the Hole in the Wall and get the few things they have all sorted to go.

Heading out they note that at the front desk this time appears to be Artie as opposed to the other two employees that work there, perhaps they have their hands full with something at the moment. He silently notes the duos departure and mail transference with a surly nod.

Artie: at mention of the swallow’s perch he tilts his head and remarks “good place. got decent pie there” sending you on your way Psalm: "Also, if Ruth and Esther Brimdrorvi come looking for me can you direct them down the street please." Artie: he nods silently Psalm: Nice Rokka: i give artie my farewells and wait for psalm bc wynaut

The two make their way to the inn next door, after a bit of chatter with Layne he leads them upstairs and directs them to the empty rooms they have upstairs on the first floor, adjacent to Cimmorro and Han’s shared room.

Rokka: "what room are u going to?" Psalm: "I have no preference." That being said he just goes up to the first empty room he finds and opens the door. Rokka: he nods and walks a little further down the walkway and goes into the second room

The two each take an empty room for themselves, forcing those who show up afterwards to decide who they’d prefer to room with. Across the street Keva also checks out of the Out and Inn similarly asking for her mail to be rerouted. At the counter are the two twins who quickly send her on her way

Flinn and Pin: they remark that one of the dwarves there will give you beer at a discount if you tell him a funny joke, but do not specify which one. Keva: she makes a face like 🤨 but with an amused smile "okay... thanks?" and heads over to the swallow's perch

As Rokka and Psalm settle in across the way, Cimmorro in his room takes has a thought and decides to shoot off another sending spell to another important recipient.

Cimmorro: "ulle!!! it's your cimmy. i wanted to show off what i can do now ehehe i'm going to be so cool when i get back" <--- he sounds very excited Ulle: you hear a confused sound in your head in response before spluttering noises and a response "whoa i was-bleh, eating a sandwich just now you scared me! haha this is so cool hey hey mahalia ! cimmorro just spoke to me-" before it cuts off

As Han’s shuffling about and doing some menial tasks around the rooms on the first floor she overhears the sending spell and pokes her head in to spy on Cimmorro. At the same time Keva soon arrives at the inn, getting the same spiel from Layne downstairs she heads up to the first floor hallway staring at which room to pick while Han blocks one of the doorways.

Keva: she does not want to room with psalm and his spying ghost. she does not want to room with rokka bc headache. she does not want to room with han bc headache........... but she figures she has to talk with cimm anyway so........ least of the evils Chip: women and cimm united front Cimmorro: clerics who respect women

Han: "were you talking to someone?" Cimmorro: cimm plops his back into his bed, completely relaxed and thanks wee jas in his head "ohhhh... this is one of the best things you've ever let me have!! thank you, thank you, lady wee jas >_<" and then notices han come in and acknowledges her. "hm? i was casting a spell... did you need anything?" Keva: keva's standing behind han blocking the doorway, in that time she is considering whether she should change her mind Han: she shrugs "nothing, just heard u talking, got curious- AH" at keva teleporting behind her and stares at her for 2 seconds before going "im going back to chores, bye" and scuttling off Cimmorro: he just looks at you two like 🤨 Keva: she moves out of her way and says bye back after she's already left like 🤨 "any room in here?" Cimmorro: he looks at you for a moment before understanding what's going on "oh you're staying here? that makes things so much easier for me. yeah there's room, though han can be a bit energetic" he laughs and points at a spot in the room Keva: she looks back in the direction han left for a moment "yeah that's going to be fun" /s, she'll go over and plop her few things down Cimmorro: a laugh "she's like that... though she can easily be distracted lolll... i think she'll be more focused on dress making than at you, for tonight at least." Keva: keva tosses her cloak on the bed while mumbling "thank the gods for that." turning to cimm "does she work here or smth?" Cimmorro: he nods at you as he sits back up on his bed "she was already here when i arrived a few weeks ago. i'm sure she's been here for way longer" Keva: "hm. well, don't let me get in the way of what you were doing." and she gonna climb onto her bed and take out a little bit of bread to feed amos Cimmorro: he watches you do that for a sec before going "okay, i'm still beat from going around the stores earlier myself so... we can talk about what you want to do with your outfit later. give it some thought meanwhile.."

As Keva settles in, Han remembers to head over to Ferrie Chris and notify her that Finn will probably be showing up later in the week.

Han: "the pampered one will come later... ill borrow the cart to fetch him, if its ok.." Ferrie Chris: she tilts her head from where shes bent over moving crates "hm? sure whatcha need it for anyhow? Han: han shrugs "he needs some stuff moved" Ferrie Chris: she squints "how much stuff could tha' guy have...?" she shakes her head "eh 's fine, we moved most of the stuff earlier in the week anyway" Han: SHE SHRUGS HARDER

As the two of them chat Cimmorro and Psalm both begin the process of attuning to their newly bought weapons in their rooms, though Psalm also goes through the additional ritual of designating his new scimitar as his pact weapon.

Ghester: for the latter ritual ghester is silent the entire while until the end in which he lets out a sigh, quickly remarking how strange a sensation that was Psalm: "Strange how?" Ghester: he ponders the thought a moment "like growing another limb, despite the fact that i dont have any in the first place" Psalm: he nods like he gets it even though that's kinda weirdchamp

As the group settles for the afternoon Plum also arrives at the inn, the last of the party to make their transfer for the day. Receiving the same spiel as those before them they waddle up to the first floor, deciding to pick whoever is behind the closest door to them for their roommate, the result being Rokka.

Chip: for your viewing pleasure

Cimmorro: AKFHJLKASFKSAJFAKLWFKAL Han: EMO A;LKDHGKLLKDSF Keva: I'M LAUGHING THAT GHESTER AND AMOS COME WITH US NOW Chip: your government assigned leeches

Rokka: his ears twitch and he turns towards the door "come in!!" Plum: "oh it's you rokka, nice. you don't mind being roommates do you?" Rokka: he perks up seeing plum enter, "oh plummy!! hi!! i don't mind at all in fact im glad we can be roomies hehehe" rokkas tail wags in delight Plum: "ok great, what are you up to for the rest of the day, then?" Rokka: "hmm" he taps his chin and looks up to think "nothing much unless you wanna do something with me? :D" Plum: "i'm not up to anything today, so sure. got anything in mind?" Rokka: "we can work on that music box you got!!" Plum: "oh, right! forgot about that thing." plum says, and starts fishing around in their bag of holding until they pull out the ＭＵＳＩＱＵＥＢＯＸＥ Rokka: he moves next to plum and leans his head closer to them "i don't know much about fixing music boxes so I don't think i will be much help but i can cheer you on :D" he tilts his head a little "whaddya think it would sound like once it can play" Plum: "i think it'll probably play, just not very well. i'm not even sure how this thing is broken. also thanks, if you cheer me on that means i definitely have to fix this thing though." plum says, lifting the box carefully to peek at it. Rokka: "yeah i had a feeling it would sound like that too...i cant wait to hear it in its full glory" rokka goes 🥺 and speaks with a little gentler tone "i just thought its another way i could help you is all." Plum: a little embarrassed now plum just says "right..." and trails off. then after a moment of looking at the box they say, "y'know this thing might not actually be broken after all. so it only plays on a full moon, right? and i thought that was just some kind of charm attached to it for fun or somethin', probably is. but other than that it's a functional music box. think the seller thought that little catch to it meant it didn't work." plum says this all in one go without realizing because they like to talk about magical objects. "personally," they continue, "i don't think that means it's broken. i think that just makes it more special. i could probably make it so that it plays all the time though, what do you think?" Rokka: he silently nods throughout plums explanation simply enjoying them talking more than usual in one sitting, "thats a bummer we gotta wait until then for it to play but if you can make it play ALL the time that would be super cool of you plum!" he gives them a thumbs up Plum: "well i can try, anyways."

> 🎵 Tired Rynoka / Moonlighter OST

Plum begins working away at the music box as Rokka sits attentively beside them for the rest of the day. In their own mind they decide their course of action is going to be to change the enchantment into a dual purpose one. A person will still need to wind the music box on a full moon to have it play, but it will also play whenever if Rokka is the one to wind it.

Getting to work on inspecting it Plum finds the enchantment is inscribed weirder than they’d thought it would be once they actually get a look at it. Most of the evening is spent trying to make out the creators handwriting, but it is solid progress nonetheless. After much interpreting they see the enchanted name signed near the bottom thusly " -ＲＡＮＤＯＶＵＳ / THE GREAT AND BEAUTIFUL"

Han: randovus instant fave character no lie Rokka: whoever this is i wanna fight them Plum: chip was it that the seller thought it was broken??? Chip: yeahp Plum: oh LOL Chip: zafar like what in the....not gonna ruin my day [puts on shelf] Plum: hHHHFHFG

Plum: "this guy's handwriting fucking sucks" Rokka: he makes a weird sound of agreement as he doesnt wanna admit it "mmmnnyyeeahmnn?????????" Plum: "anyways, that's all i got for you today re: this thing. might take me a couple days." plum says, without telling rokka what exactly they're intending to change about the box until it gets done. Rokka: he oohs and ahhh through the process of what plum does "neat! you got me excited now that I know i can probably hear it sooner!" his tails lazily wags in content and a little nostalgic spending time with plum like this in a room as they remind him of his siblings Plum: "yeah, i'm pretty excited too. and its fun working on something for...fun. i feel like its been forever, even though its only been like, a week. feel free to tune in next time." Rokka: "yeah! i getchaaa especially with what we've been through having some time to just enjoy like this is nice hehe" he tilts his head at plum "really?? then please let me know whenever you choose to work on it! I will be there to watch and cheer asap! thanks for letting me watch plum " Plum: "any time. i can make it a little task while we wait for the ball and all of that." Rokka: he stares at plum for a moment seeming to ponder something "plum, you're really nice. I like you, can we be friends?" he says without his usual loud and cheery tone. this time being more calm as he asks genuinely for the first time Plum: "h-huh?" plum says after a beat, suddenly turning fully red in the face. "man, rokka, why do you sound so serious... and! a-anyways! i thought we were already friends?" Rokka: "I just never-- wait what???i---" he struggles with finding words to respond as he didn't think plum thought they were friends "you.....we're friends? really? really really friends?" he looks expectantly down at plum Plum: "oh i mean i just assumed since we get along and we're stuck in this large group for now. maybe i jumped the gun there, sorry. but yeah we can be friends." plum says and scratches at their face, feeling embarrassed. "you're making me feel kinda embarrassed over here, saying "i like you" to people so bluntly, y'know." Rokka: he lets out a small gleeful laugh with a smile growing larger each second "ah...ahah!! yess!!!!!!!!" he ruffles plums hair "Sorry, I just like to be honest, hehe," now in a very great mood he cant help his wagging tail Plum: [is ruffled] "no it's fine, just caught me by surprise. i like to be blunt too 🤨 " plum says and coughs a little awkwardly. Rokka: he just grins at plum before plopping onto his bed with a content sigh followed by a mumble "my first friend.."

As the afternoon ebbs on Cimmoro also finishes attuning to his new healing knife in his room, the other two going about their business in silence and settling in. Finally he moves and stretches, and gives the knife a stare, he decides to give it a whirl and to check whether he’s been scammed or not. He tightly gripes the blade with one hand and makes a swift cut on his hand, he makes a low hissing sound as he does, alerting the other two briefly as they spot his hand bleeding for a couple of seconds

Han: han just stares like 🤨 Keva: keva was feeding amos the little snack thing she bought from the pet store, but when she hears cimm hiss, she looks over her shoulder. when she sees the blood and the knife she jumps a bit in surprise like "what the fuck?"

However, despite how quickly he made the wound, once he expends the charge, it heals just as quickly, glowing slightly for a brief moment as the skin stitches itself back together, like there was nothing there in the first place. They watch even as the blood quickly rises through the air and zooms back into his body from the wound.

Han: she stares at the immediately closing wound "that..what?" Keva: she's also staring in confusion and curiosity Cimmorro: he watches the wound heal itself, wonder in his eyes and then immediately puts his palm up for han and keva to see it stitch up like ":D SICK...!!" Han: "is magic? thats cool" she pokes the part where he sliced himself Cimmorro: he breathes out in relief "wuhahhu... looks like i got my money's worth..." when han pokes at his palm he goes like "yeah! you wanna try?" Han: "fuck yeah!" han holds out her forearm excitedly >:D Cimmorro: "it only works when i do it though" he's taken aback by your enthusiasm but likes it regardless. cimm swipes the blade on your arm, making a clean cut [will use charge] Keva: she makes a 🤨 face at han's enthusiasm and closes up the jar of treats to put it away as she says "no thanks" .... she does turn back to watch tho

Cimmorro slices again this time on Han’s arm.....blood...a second...thwoosh the body stitches itself back together immediatley and the wound is healed.

Cimmorro: "aw cmon we can do it one more time" once han's wounds begin stitching too he looks back at keva like "see? see?" Han: "oooh.." han goes over the wound with her hand "its only a bit tingly... wanna try it over actual wound?" Cimmorro: he turns to han looking confused for a sec like "... wait are you injured?" Han: "no, but keva can stab me" :D “or you stab with the knife normally. i just trust keva to make it count” 😌 Keva: "you're really excited about being stabbed" Cimmorro: cimm is wondering why han wants to hurt so badly rn and his mouth is just agape Han: "wounds are an honour" Cimmorro: "what... well, i guess?" Han: "well, more in battle than in here but still" Keva: "is that why you tend to go into things without thinking" Han: "without think-?! i think a lot, thank you !!!!" han sounds offended Keva: keva makes geralt from netflix "hm" noise "kay well, i'm not stabbing you so" Han: han pouts "your loss" then goes back to looking at cimm expectantly with her forearm to him Cimmorro: "okay, ladies.... let's...." he sighs "this dagger can do as much damage as it can heal, supposedly... so... to test?" he looks like he doesnt want to tho Han: "to test!" >:) Keva: "we already know it works. why do we have to do this" Cimmorro: "just to be sure!" Han: "to test!" han repeats Cimmorro: "you're not going to hold this against me are you? if i stab you like real stab?" cimm is starting to wonder if this is a good idea Keva: keva puts her hand to her face Cimmorro: he makes a fake stab against the air right now just to make sure han knows what she's asking him to do "like this, stab stab" Han: "huh?? why would i?? plenty of family have stabbed me, just do it" she doesn’t flinch Cimmorro: he completely sputters at that "do-what tthe ?!? the HUH?" Keva: keva's slient for a moment in shock as well and then "...gods you're so weird" Han: han tsks impatiently "i can do it myself, yeesh" takes out her own dagger Cimmorro: "no, WHAT? STOP" Keva: "(medieval fantasy equialvent of jesus christ)"

Han makes a clean slice along her forearm without flinching, taking damage, much to the displeasure of her two roomates.

Han: the dagger looks similar to the hammer shes taken out before, one solid chunk of blueish metal Keva: she winces watching it happen and is like, getting up off her bed Han: "nnnow try it" :) Cimmorro: cimm looks horrified not bc of the wound but bc of han just being so.... han. he clicks his tongue while he makes a weary slice on her already open wound, expending a charge

With a glow the wound stitches together again and the blood zips back in, the wound is not fully healed but it looks alot less bad now, closer to a papercut but long across the arm.

Han: "ooooo~" Cimmorro: cimm lets out a sigh of frustration and keeps han's arm in place while he grabs his holy symbol to cast cure wounds on the leftover cut :( Han: han lets him but is like :/ Cimmorro: cimm lightly blows and pats on her arm as if to check if he missed a spot then lets her go once cleared out. "this thing is more for emergencies, it looks like" tilting the doctor's blade a bit with his free hand Han: han wiwis for a sec Keva: keva relaxes back onto her bed once the wound is healed Cimmorro: "since we'll be travelling together for a while it's good to let you guys know what this does, though i won't use it unless i really have to... i don't like relying on things aside from what i already know anyway..." he puts it away and then looks at han like :| "no more stabbing yourself like that" Han: han goes 😤 "this was for teeeest!" Cimmorro: cimm remembers how han also just nonchalantly sliced her arm in the blood chamber and he rubs at his eyes at the memory "you do this kind of thing so often!! what the hell was that about your family!! uggh" he just keeps rubbing his eyes rn trying not to think of what he was to deal with the next coming weeks Han: han just goes 😟 but says nothing Keva: keva notices the look on han's face and says "anyway." Cimmorro: cimm stares at her and sighs and shakes his head Han: han gets weirdly shy under the attention Cimmorro: "no more hurting yourself. if that's what your family liked to do then whatever. but don't do it around me.. don't like seeing it" he says that rather harshly but there is a hint of concern Keva: keva like a sibling looking out the car window while the other kid gets chewed out Han: han is still like 😟 "no its.. they didnt.. uagh" she looks frustrated by both not wanting to talk about it and not knowing how to explain it, and just drops the thread entirely , pacifying cimm with a non commital "i wont, i wont" Keva: keva just quickly raises and lowers her eyebrows, thinking well that sounds convincing in her head Cimmorro: cimm doesn't seem convinced, but it's not like he expected his words to do anything immediately. he exhales and waves his hand around to clear the air "well... anyway. you two know what this does. don't go stabbing me back when i bring you conscious with this pls..🙄 " Keva: keva waves a hand like yeah yeah Han: han snort laughs a bit and also agrees Cimmorro: he shrugs as if to say he's just trying to make precautionary measures "nice. well okay you are cuties dismissed 👏" he hops off his bed and walks out the door peace out

Cimmorro scurries about preparing things for later on, and as sundown and evening comes the rest of the party settle into their rooms and comforts for the night. Han however, after a bit more pestering of Cimmorro, heads out after clocking off her shift, and walks off towards a familiar destination in the city.

She weaves her way in and out of a few alleys and streets in the business district before entering one of the taller buildings nearby. Despite there having been no rain recently she also spies puddles of water near the outside of the building. Shrugging it off, she heads inside and up a few flights of stairs down some interior hallways, past the doors of a couple other businesses

it’s pretty quiet in the area compared to when she’d usually come around, with the sounds of people revel making and drinking typically filling her ears. She quickly comes to the entrance of the place she’s looking for, the words ‘The Bone Pit’ scrawled nested into a carefully illustrated poster nailed to the front of the door.

> 🎵 Through the Valley / Pyre OST

She opens the door and steps inside, finding herself in a small lobby area of sorts, connected to a larger room that appears to be a bar floor with hallways leading upstairs branching off it. Though looking about it appears pretty empty and quiet, not silent however, some chatter here and there and the sounds of things being moved echo through the place. As she stares about it appears pretty sparse, its then that she notices a whole bunch of cleaning supplies stacked around the place.

Han: she just says loudly "hellooooo?? ruel? stella?"

As Han yodels out the names, someone shuffling around the larger bar floor seems to notice and comes running over, she recognises the woman as Stella, a short pink haired girl.

Stella: “ahh sorry there!!” she gives a cutesy wave “were closed right now for -er” she blinks now seemingly recognising you “oh my gods haaaaaaan, i'm being forced to do manual labouuuur- save me pleaaase” her tone changes to an uncharacteristically whiny one as she dramatically walks over pouting and shaking a mop that she’s holding in her hands.

Looking at her Han notes she’s not in what her typically style, instead in clothes that appear to be much more shabby, probably for cleaning. Behind her she also spots a taller person, whom she recognises as Ruel, a half orc woman leaning herself against a broom

Ruel: “...stella that’s like the 5th walk in, did you even put the closed sign out front..?” shaking her head as if she doesn't even expect an answer from the former. Han: han laughs at stella "you are such a baby." she notes their dress and says "cleaning day? do u want extra hands?" Stella: she lazily throws her head back with a groan “auuugh because of the lockdown the other day the good big boss decided this would be the perfect time to scrub down the whole place” she holds the mop out in front of her “this isnt in my job description y'know, i'm going to have to get my nails redone and everything after this, its tough work looking this perfect” she continues huffing a little before actually realising you asked a question "ah? oh no way we cant make customers help out, bad look..." Ruel: while she chats ruel crouches near the floor fiercely inspecting a stain in the wood near a bar table Han: "with the amounts of fluids this place sees daily i cant believe it took you this long to do deep clean....." han grimaces a bit but its still finds stellas baby attitude funny so it gets a bit lost. "and what? there are no customers around, no one sees me here. i asked a couple hours off." Stella: "ehh well it gets cleaned regularly but i guess she really wants these bar floors finally annihilated" she grimaces at the comment before looking back at you "y.........eaaaaaah but if i got caught doing that i'd get an earful is the thing" she waves her hand noncommittally though she looks like she is internally fighting off the temptation to just let you Han: han is just holding back laughter at stella like ppfftt "im sure you can do it, youre big girl" and then walks over to ruel and opens her arms for a hug Stella: she groans again and shakes the mop menacingly at you Celebrity Guest Aqua: is this like those clubs where they gotta hose the floor every morning or is it a nicer establishment Han:

Cimmorro: hate that gif so much dawg Chip: STOPPPPP Han: I AHTE THIS GIF TOO IT PLAGUES ME Plum: what is that fucking gif lord

As Han walks over to Ruel with outstretched arms she stands up curiously staring at her with a quirked brow.

Han: "i know ure off work but one hug pleeeaaase" >_< Ruel: she stares at you again but eventually sighs and opens her arms out invitingly like 😓 Han: "Oh! i actually came over to ask. me and some ..." han makes some grimacing/thoughtful expressions "friendsss?? like saved the town or whatever and they invited us to be guests at the new ball, do you guys wanna come??" :3 Ruel: ruel just ?? confused face at the question after the hug Stella: she turns her head towards you leaning on the mop completely disbelieving "if you ya want to invite me to a party han you dont need to lie about how cool it is" she says wrly Han: she probably has let go of ruel at this point lolol "no we talked to the king and shit.." han shrugs "its in 2 week, cimm, that priest guy, i dont think i told you about him, he even drew me a dress!" she starts looking around her bag "oh i must've left it with him... well anyway!" han is still in a chipper mood "you guys and the swallows perch are my only friends around so i thought i would invite you" she does get pink at this lol Ruel: she makes a face like 😑❓ silently thinking to herself Stella: she walks over and slaps her hand across your stomach jokingly "yeah and what did the king tell you?" she seems to be a little embarrassed about the only friends statement but is way to distracted by the ridiculousness of the gala thing Han: "uuhhh he was like [han tries to imitate his voice] thank you so much, here is 5000 gold, we are doing ball in 2 weeks, invite your friends. i have the gold to prove it" han opens her heavy ass stash and shows the girls the coin

Stella looks like shes about to crack another joke until Han opens up the bag, after which both her and Ruel open their eyes wide in surprise. Stella looks back between Han and the bag multiple times in shock

Stella: "th... first of all this is like, all platinum han, and second......i...." she stops mid sentence like she doesnt know what to say out of shock Ruel: she pipes up after "........you know they did say they were gonna rehost it...." Stella: at this she seems to snap out of her awe and stares up at han grabbing your giant arm and shaking you "HAAAAAN. YOU CANT BE SERIOUS THE GALA??? LIKE WITH THE ROYALTY AND EVERYTHING??? Han: she gets shaken around "yes, those guys, i dont rlly understand the big deal, ferrie chris was also excited about them?" Stella: "YESSS HAN THOSE GUYSSS" she seems to calm down a little though still gripping your arm "okay okay well im not gonna shoot for the moon or anything so i dont care too much about them but do you know how many rich nobles go to those parties.... the connections i can make there..." she then begins shaking your arm again "and i can brag about having BEEN to the palace my gods what am i gonna wear... i need to create the perfect ensemble, andrella is NOT gonna hear the end of this from me" Han: she laughs "i thought you might like it." she turns to ruel "how about you?" Ruel: as you turn your attention to ruel stella continues babbling to herself while shaking your arm, ruel stands nearby with her arms crossed thinking over it thoughtfully "honestly i am not sure i'd be good schmoozing somewhere so high class but" and she lifts her eyes up seriously with a glint and a thumb on her chin "the opportunity. is way too good." Keva: the egirls looking to get paaaaiiidd yeeeessss Chip: stella getting ready to have 100 business cards made Keva: are they bedazzled Chip: gel pen as well Keva: the other side is sequins that if you run your hand over it it reveals other colors and a message lmao Han: wait thats genius Keva: "stella" one way, "see the stars" the other Han: UA;LHDSGKH;KHWKH3LKESGKDX

Han: she just heehees "i went dress shopping with cimm today, hes gonna help get something tailored, you want dresses too? i can pay" Ruel: her eyebrows go up "oh no no, we can get that done ourselves fine, you're already inviting us and everything" Stella: she nods next to you feverishly "han i love you oh so dearly, now even more so, but i have my pride" she lifts a fist "and its telling me to go all out on this look...." Ruel: she nods sagely agreeing with her Stella: she quickly relaxes to a more joking demeanour before continuing "i appreciate the thought though as ludicrous it is for you to offer you big lug, if this works out i wont even have to annoy you to give me free drinks" she says with a smile ^__^ Han: han giggles then stops abruptly "what!! you said you annoy me because i dont let you tie me up!!!" <- she is faux sad Stella: she lifts a finger "i can have multiple reasons to annoy you" Han: she tsks "im glad you two are alright tho 😊 when you think the deep clean will be done?" Stella: she slaps your arm with a laugh at that Ruel: she thinks a moment "judging by how powerful these wood stains are... i'd say another two days with the others helping out" she folds her arms with a smile looking back at you "i'll be sure to expect a visit now that you're rolling large..." she squints her eyes and tilts her head afterwards though thinking on it "...kind of dangerous carrying all that actually" Han: she snorts at the wood stains comment "i dont have a lot to use it on anyway but thieves would be stupid to go for me" puffs out her chest "i will visit... soon? i will be leaving soon after so yeah.." han think thonks Ruel: she laughs at the chest puffing Stella: at the last comment stella tilts her head "ohhh??...flying the coop? you gotta tell me when we can go out for drinks or something, i'll have to console poor ruel.." she mock wipes her eyes Ruel: she rolls hers and grabs a cloth, getting back to working away Han: she shrugs "dunno, got one other bossman now and he wants us to go to antessa..." han trails off thinking about routes and times "you can grab me whenever you have free day. OH ferrie chris wants have do a banger too..." Stella: "damn moving up in the big leagues of freelancing now, cross country" at the second comment her face lights up "ohhhhh yes! when you have a date let me know i'll free up the evening" she says with a >:) grin Han: han is jsut ^O^ heeho evening successful, STARTS BIDDING THEM ADIOS? "no sex, no cleaning, im useless here" pouts again

Han scuttles off back to the inn satisfied with having said her piece, making sure to tell Stella to stop slacking off as she goes. The party all spend the rest of the little of the evening left idling around and killing time before finally heading to rest and bedding down in the dark.

Always there: wrecking fam oneshot fanfic

Vanellope had discovered cooking shows not long after being introduced to the internet. Watching cooking shows, especially ones that involved baking desserts, quickly grew to be an enjoyable pastime. If she was ever upset, the shows never failed to brighten her mood and distract her from whatever was upsetting her. But this time, it didn't help, not even the slightest. She ended up crying silently by herself, trying not to make a big deal out of it.

She really wanted to get rid of awful the assumptions she had running through her mind lately. She had tried to get advice from the princesses; Elsa had good intentions but locking herself up in a room for twenty years definitely wasn’t the best option.

Vanellope was at a loss for what to do; the right thing to do was to tell them, she knew, but she really didn’t want to tell them. Rather, she didn't have the guts for it. Pride was strong within her, that was for sure. To have them see her crying over nothing? No, not a chance!

But she failed at that. Miserably.

“Stop it,” the raven-haired girl mumbled to herself as she wiped her tears away, dismayed that they came rolling down again anyways. Hugging her legs close, she let out a forfeited sigh before a glitch rippled through her body, showing the emotions she was struggling to keep inside. She’d held her feelings in for way too long and it showed. Her glitch. It was acting up again. Usually, it could be controlled it in the start. But the further she built her feelings up, the worst it got. Sometimes she could even feel it, usually it tickled, but now it was more of a sting.

It could go away,if she just. “No,” she mumbled to herself, trying to calm her glitch down, ‘It’ll go away soon.’ That was she told herself for the last four months.

A sudden creek could be heard as the door opened. It made her jump a bit, before looking to her side, revealing Ralph, leaning up against the door. She hoped that he was just displeased that she was up late, rather than what she might feared.

“What’s goin’ on, kid?”

“What’s it look like?” Vanellope shrugged, “I’m watching a cooking show. Surprisingly interesting.”

“Since when are cooking shows depressing?” he asked, raising an eyebrow.

“Huh?”

“You’re crying, kid.”

“I am? Huh… I guess this show really deserts its job then!” she joked in hopes of lightening the mood, adding jazz hands for emphasis. Ralph was not amused by her joke, not buying her act one bit.

Annoyed, she turned her glance towards the TV again and put her hood on, not wanting to make eye contact with him, ‘Just leave already.’

Finally moving from his spot at the door frame, Ralph sat down next to her. “Hey,” he spoke softly, gently nudging her arm to get her attention, but not a single glance was casted back at the gentle giant.

“You’ve been glitching a lot lately. I know you’re upset.” He leaned down in attempt to meet her gaze, “You’re worrying me, kiddo.”

‘Was it that obvious?’

“Shank also told Yesss that you’ve been zoning out a lot during game times. Getting game overs, too.” He paused, waiting for some sort of reacting from the child, only to continue when she remained quiet. “That sort of thing doesn't normally happen to you, kid. Are you okay?”

Vanellope could feel a lump starting to form in her throat. It was true, she had been getting many game overs in the past few weeks due to her inability to stay focused. It led to Shank telling her to take a break, to stay at Yesss’ place and relax for a few days.

Feeling her eyes welling up, she began to panic. The idea of Ralph finding this out and grow more paranoid was the last thing Vanellope wanted in that moment. Dealing with him like this was more than enough.

He let out defeated sigh. “Listen, Vanellope, it’s okay if you don’t want to talk about it. That’s fine. Just let me know when you’re ready, and I’ll be right here. Okay?”

She didn't say anything back, not even a little nod to let him know that she appreciated his concern. Instead her lip began to quiver

Ralph cared for her, he always had. How could she forget that? After all they had been through, how could she ever doubt that of all things? But… even though her mind knew that, her heart had been doubting it, ever since RJ came into their lives. She loved him, she really did, but at the same time… she missed being the only child in Ralph and Yesss’ lives. They would always be there for her, always there when she wanted to hang out and have fun. But now, they had a baby to take care of. Their baby. Their kid, who was their own flesh and blood – Unlike her.

Defeated by her silence, Ralph rose up from the couch, but only managed to take all but two steps before being pulled back.

He turned around to a sight he wouldn't forget. Tears were falling like a flood down Vanellope’s cheeks, her eyes pleading him to stay. His heart sunk. He hated seeing her like this. His little girl. Ralph scooped her up with his giant hands, and laid her against his shoulder, gently resting his hands over her tiny frame and holding her closer.

She hid her face, pressing it against his shirt, making it wet with her tears. He could hear her small, muffled sobs as he tried to soothe her, trying to not cry himself. ‘You little fool.’

It took a while for her sobs to fade, though some few tears were still lurking.

“Do… do you… still love me?” the soft tune of her voice was overcome by laughter coming from Ralph. Vanellope jumped a little and glitched in the process, flustered by his unexpected reaction. “Why are you laughing?! I’m serious!” she lightly pushed him.

“Sorry, sorry,” Ralph chuckled, gently wiping remaining tears away from the girl’s cheeks, a little amused by the little pouty face she made. “I'm sorry for laughing. It’s just, why on Earth would you think I don’t love you anymore?”

“I dunno, it’s just… sometimes...” she picked at the fuzz on his shirt, needing to focus on something to avoid his gaze as she struggled to set the right words, she wanted to say. “Sometimes I just wonder if you guys even care about me anymore. I know it’s kinda dumb, but… you and Yesss have been so busy with RJ lately. We used to spend so much time together, do a bunch of fun things. But now you guys always have to take care of Rj and cancel our plans.” She continued to ramble, growing nervous of how he would react, “I mean, it’s not like I’m not happy for you guys! Or that I don’t like RJ! I love him. But… I dunno, it just feels like you guys don’t love me as much.”

Ralph didn't know what to say. Really, he shouldn’t be so surprised. It was a lot of change to digest, for all of them – and even though she liked change and experiencing new things, but really, who could blame her for thinking those things and feeling so left out? A new person was in their lives now. She may be quick in her remarks and act tough, but above all of that, she still was a child.

He adjusted her in his hold and gently tilted her chin up to look at him before reaching for his necklace. “You know what this is?” He was proudly holding up his half of the cookie medal.

“G’doi, I know what it is,” she sneered.

He then took her half out and held it next to his, completing the heart.

“What does it say?” he asked her.

“Seriously, Ralph?, what has-”

“What does it say?” he repeated.

Vanellope rolled her eyes with a groan, irritated that he couldn't take this seriously. “’You're my hero’.”

“Exactly.” He smiled, “Van, my life has become so much better because of you. If it weren't for you, I’d still be living alone in the dump, sleeping on a pile of bricks, treated like the ‘bad’ guy by all of the Nicelanders. I’d never know what it’s like to feel appreciated and loved. You’re my hero, my best friend, but most importantly, my family.”

She lightly punched his shoulder, “You’re such a dork, Ralph,” she joked, making them both chuckle. He was right; after the battle with King Candy, both of their lives had changed so much, for the better.

“RJ’s just a baby, he can’t take care of himself yet,” Ralph continued, wanting to ensure that she understood why they had been so busy. “It takes a lot of time and energy to take care of a baby – more energy than it takes to take care of you,” he teased, ruffling her hair, making her laugh, “That’s why we’ve been so busy. I’m sorry for the times I left you hanging. We didn't mean to make you feel like we didn't care for you anymore. I’m—”

He was cut off guard when Vanellope jumped up and wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling his head down into a tight embrace. “It’s okay, Stinkbrain, I’m sorry, too.”

Eagerly, he returned the hug, delighted to see her witty, joyful self again. He cherished every little moment he had with her, not taking any second for granted. He could only hope that she wouldn’t hesitate to talk about her feelings with him again; he’d have to keep a better eye on her from now on, make sure that she was adjusting well to having another child in their little family, to make sure that she always knew, that she would always be part of that family.

It was getting late by the time Yesss had looked around half of the apartment, wondering where her husband and Vanellope were. She’d thought that they would be in bed, by the time she got home from working late. But had discovered that RJ was the only one sleeping.

As she turned down one of the corridors, she spotted a bright light coming from the living room. “There they are,” she sighed, feeling silly over how long it took her that long to find them; she should have checked there first. “Hey, you two, it’s time for bed—” as she walked in, the sight of Ralph and Vanellope snuggled up together on the coach, sound asleep, made her heart completely melt.

Yesss snuck in, trying to not disturb them as she gently put a blanket over them, kissing them both goodnight. “Sleep tight, my little ducklings.” As the moment was tempting, all giggly, she took the chance, and sent a picture of them to Shank.

Yess: Look who I found! #familygoals

Shank: Haha, looks like they finally made up :)

A product of discord shenanigans . For those who don’t know, Rj is Yess and Ralph’s child, that @al-gor-ithm came up with. Also again a thanks to @gliitchiing for looking through grammar. It was a big help since english isnt my mother language

Morgan, Blending In

Thank you so much for commissioning me again, @xpegasusuniverse! I’m really glad with this one came out, so I hope you like it! :D

Summary: Morgan managed to follow her brother Owain to Valla and, under the alias of Linfan, now tries to blend in with the people of that strange and new world on her own Morgan-like way!

Commission info HERE and HERE!

Part 1 - Part 2 - Part 3 - Part 4 - Part 5

After Morgan, now Linfan, was accepted in Corrin's army, not much apart from fighting happened -- or rather, could happen. That place called Valla was crawling with enemies, to the point that even the people keeping watch at night had to be armed to the teeth since they would most certainly fight a battle or two before the sun came up.

That upside-down world was vast and hard to travel -- they had to make sure they stepped on the right bridges after the area had been scouted by flying units. It seemed like their guide, some Anthony fellow, wasn't very well liked amongst the entirety of the army, so Morgan's arriving right after Anthony’s made things a bit complicated to her side, or at least they should be.

"COMBINED..." She took a deep breath, holding her Thoron tome with one hand, the other one pointing to the sky.

"SIBLING ATTACK!" Odin yelled at the same time Linfan did, they tomes' magical powers swirling around them before exploding at the group of enemies right ahead. "YEAH! That was soo cool, Linfan!"

"Heehee, that was actually fun, Brother!" The siblings shared a high-five. "And since this place is crawling with those things, we can try out a lot of different magic!"

Odin had to hold his cursed hand in an extravagant gesture. "Yess! That's what I'm talking about! This is the place where we can truly use our full powers!"

"With my trusty Thoron, no enemy shall be left standing!" Linfan winked, doing a side peace sign over one eye. Odin almost shed a tear of pride. Finally... finally someone who understood and enjoyed his antics!

"... Don't you guys feel any shame?" Selena approached, her battle stance completely drained up due to second-hand embarrassment. "This isn't a joke, you know! They're here to kill us!"

"You wound me, silver-tongued maiden! This is serious business, I'll have you know! Isn't that right, Lin-"

Linfan giggled, "why don't you try it too, Selena? It's so silly, it's fun!"

"LINFAN!" Odin fell on his knees. "Betrayed... by my own blood..."

"Hah! I knew Linfan wouldn't let me down like that." Selena nodded, putting one hand by her hip.

From their posts, Corrin and Leo observed the interchange, both of them smiling at differing scales. "It's really lively out there, isn't it?" Corrin commented after felling the last enemy at their premises.

Leo sneered. "Humph. It's like we got another Odin; I got my work cut out for me."

The dragon prince scratched the back of his head. "Haha, I'm sorry for dumping her on you, Leo. But I thought that since she's Odin's sister, making both of them be deployed side by side would be better for her to fit in faster..."

"Please, don't apologize for that, Brother." Leo dismissed Corrin's worry with an uninterested wave of hand. "She is... a bit too eager for my tastes, but I AM used to having the most eager one, after all." He bobbed his head. "Besides, her talent for magic is real. So much that even by looking at her from this far I can still feel her inane power, waiting to explode. Very intriguing."

Corrin smiled. He knew how much his little brother loved to talk about magic, AND how competitive he was. He would probably push himself harder so as not to 'lose' to Linfan. "Just don't overdo it, okay?" He let out part of his thoughts, making Leo raise one eyebrow.

"I beg your pardon?"

"Oh, um, why don't you go talk to her, then? This can be a great opportunity to make new friends!"

"Hah, hear yourself, Brother." Leo scoffed, urging his horse to move. "I'm simply interested in her potential for combat, not in to suddenly invite her to our inner circle. Come, let's rendezvous with Camilla." He extended his hand to Corrin, who promptly took it so as to mount on the horse.

"Alright, but I still think that you two would get along if you wanted!"

"Yeah, yeah."

At the same time, Linfan, Odin and Selena arrived at the camp after clearing out their position. For the past few days, Laslow has been deployed far from Linfan, surely Xander's way of saying he didn't trust her yet.

At the entrance, Linfan unconspiscously looked at all sides, squinting as though she wanted to see something invisible. "Do you think he's here now?"

"Yikes," Selena shivered, "are you looking for ghosts or something? Aren't the invisible enemies we fight everyday enough?"

Without missing a beat, Linfan looked at the other side. "No, I mean the guy who likes masks Lord Corrin told us about."

"Oh." Both Selena and Odin cleared their throats, ever aware that the ninja could be anywhere around them at any moment. "If you keep being indiscreet like that, he'll stick around even longer!" The mercenary said, slapping her friend's back.

Linfan's eyes sparkled. "Will he?! Maybe this time he'll actually fall into one of my traps!"

Odin snorted. "You never even got Father to fall for them, Linfan!"

The apprentice tactician puffed her cheeks. "Well, YOU did."

Selena pointed and laughed as Odin retorted. "I was indulging my own blood, a-alright? The sacred vow of heroes always tells us to be kind to our kin!"

Morgan put one hand over her chin, her eyes wide in thought. "Will I have to marry him, then...?"

"WHAT? NO!" Both mage and mercenary yelled, slapping her shoulders. "Mor-Linfan, we need to play nice here, you understand? Stop digging these stupid pitfalls!"

"B-b-b-b-but," her voice trembled as Selena aggressively shook her, "but what if I dig deep enough that I can see the sky from below? I need to find out!"

"Linfan!" Odin exclaimed, making both women shut up in shock, the random passerby also staring unbelieving. "Don't do anything reckless, please..." He held her hand. "I won't bear if anything happens to you."

Feeling a bit guilty but also nostalgic, Linfan smiled. "That brings back memories, heehee." She brought Odin's hand to her face. "Sorry for worrying you, Brother; but it's going to be okay! This time, I won't bang a tome on my head or walk around looking up instead of down. I just want to catch him!"

"Aaand we're back at where we started." Selena groaned. "Listen here, Linfan..." She pulled her friend as they walked, leaving Odin behind.

He didn't follow out of pure shock, since Morgan had spoke not only of a new memory they made, but of an older memory of when they were children: She had the habit of looking up to the birds and clouds when she was very small, to she always hit her nose on trees, posts and walls, to the point of Owain needing to hold her hand at all times whenever they walked.

The feeling from way back then flourished inside his heart, making a relaxed smile sprout on his lips. She remembered more each day, and also learned more and more about their lives in this new world.

She would be fine. Sure, not without supervision, but would be fine nonetheless.

The sun took a lot longer than usual to set in that strange world since the sky was upward and downward as well, which only made it even more interesting! What would happen if Morgan started digging a pitfall during the sunset over her head while it was still bright under her feet? Would she be able to catch a glimpse of the blue sky all the while having the stars shining on her head? She simply had to find out!

And no, watching the sunset at the edge of an island did not cross Morgan's mind, nor would it: She was so focused on digging during dusk that she lost track of time. Although it was still clear out, she had dug so deep she leaned on the wall to catch a breather.

It was then that she looked up. "Oh, wow, that's my new record! Someone's REALLY gonna hurt themselves if they fall. Look at the sky wayyy up there, just a tiny round bit." A few moments of rest later, she placed one closed hand over her open palm. "Oh! I'm stuck!"

Laughing, Morgan slid down the wall to sit on the wet earth. "Heeheehaha! That's a first! I didn't know this island was so deep, whoops!" After calming down her giggles, she took a deep breath. "Welp, let's come up with a plan to get out of here! I won't disappoint you, Father!"

Morgan looked on her person for something that could help her up: her levin sword, her Thoron tome, a carving knife, a few samples of masks she always kept on a pouch and the shovel she was using to dig. "Aw, if I had brought a wind tome instead, I could fly myself out of this hole." She crossed her legs, looking at the items in front of her, trying to come up with a connection. "Father, I barely started and I already failed you... how can an aspiring tactician NOT walk around with a rope? This will haunt me to the grave!"

More worried about her lack of preparation than her own situation, Morgan kept thinking by herself, as the sky darkened and the temperature dropped. She didn't notice the time pass by, mind, since she was too busy thinking of what her father would do if he were in her shoes. Faraway whispers could be heard from above a long time later, breaking her concentration.

"Look, Sakura! The sky is soooo bright because of all the stars!" Princess Elise twirled around herself, pulling the shy hoshidan princess with her so they could watch the stars under that big tree over the hill.

"N-not even in Hoshido did they shine so brightly," Sakura commented, huffing to accompany the eager princess. By her own nature, Sakura always walked looking down -- in contrast with Elise, who always looked up -- so she noticed a big enough hole to swallow them both approaching at a fast pace as Elise happily dragged her. "P-Princess Elise, watch out!" She pulled her friend back with all she had, making both of them roll away from the hole.

"Wah- Oof!" Elise fell on the grass right beside the enormous hole that was simply there in front of the tree they were going to watch the stars under. "Whoaa! We could've really hurt ourselves there! Thank you so much, Sakura!"

The hoshidan princess sat up, patting the dirt out of her white clothes. "O-of course... I'm glad you're alright, Elise."

"Weh? Is someone up there? Heeey!" Both princesses heard a voice from below.

"KYAA!" Sakura shrieked, hugging Elise with everything she had. "G-g-g-ghosts?!"

"Whoa!" Elise laughed, bending towards the hole. "Ghosts? From this hole? Helloooo?"

"Oh, there really was someone!" Morgan got up, fastening her sword and tome back at her belt. "You're Lady Elise, right? I can barely make out your face since it's so dark, haha!" She opened her hand, channeling the thunder from her tome to her fingers, lighting the hole she was in. "Do you happen to have a wind tome with you? I'm a bit stuck in here!"

"O-oh, so it was a real person..." Sakura breathed out in relief. "A-are you okay? You fell down from such height..."

"Oh, no, I dug this! Impressive, isn't it?"

"Oh, wow!" Elise put one hand over her mouth, her hair dangling beside her face as she popped her head into the hole. "You did all this? Amazing! But what's this 'wind' tome you speak of? I never heard of it!"

"Oh, so they don't have wind tomes in this world? Whoops..." Linfan bit her tongue with a smile, thanking the heavens that her brother wasn't there to scold her.

"What was that? I didn't catch it!" Elise yelled, lying down at the edge.

"Um, if you don't have it, then it's okay! Do you happen to have a rope or something? I think I can work with that!"

"D-don't you think we should get help, Elise? We shouldn't be having such a leisure talk while she's in such predicament!" Sakura gripped at her friend's sleeve, worried about the new girl.

"Oh, yeah! Wait here, Linfan! We'll call for help!" Elise sat up.

"Oh, no, no, no! Please, no!" Linfan laughed nervously. "If my brother and friends find out, I'll be in deep trouble! I need to get out of this on my own."

"B-but what can we do? I don't think both of us can pull you out by ourselves..."

"Oof, yeah, I can barely flex without getting tired." Elise concurred, feeling sympathetic to Linfan since she, too, didn't like getting in trouble with her siblings. "Maybe if I call my brother? Leo's super good with magic; he can think of a way to get you out of there!"

"L-Lord Leo? Oh no, if he finds out, so will my brother!"

Elise deflated. "Oh, yeah..."

"U-um, maybe my sister Hinoka can help? She's strong, so she'll be able to pull you out in no time!"

Linfan put her free hand on her chin in thought. "Hmm... And she's hoshidan, right? There's no need for her to be a snitch to the nohrians..."

"I-I don't know about 'being a snitch', but Big Sister Hinoka is responsible and strong! I'll bring her here!" Sakura got up too fast for her own legs to follow, her feet wobbling as they tried to get a proper foothold.

They found none, as she was too close to the hole. Elise widened her eyes and yelled a "watch out!!" as Sakura felt the ground slip away from her.

Morgan closed her eyes, scooting to the side to give Sakura room to fall, but she never did. When she looked up, the princess was safe on a ninja's arms.

"Hah... For how long will you two keep this up?" Saizo groaned, putting his princess on the ground. "I won't stand idly if you endanger Lady Sakura any more than this."

"S-Saizo!" Sakura managed to let out her voice. "T-thank you, thank you, thank you so much..." She trembled as Elise breathed out in relief.

"Pheew! That was a close one! Thanks a bunch, Saizo!"

The ninja glared at the nohrian princess, then downwards to the foreigner. "How long do you plan on staying there, woman?"

"Oh no! MASK! IT'S THE WRONG TYPE!!" Linfan yelled, the sparkle on her hand getting out of control and spiraling upwards before flashing out. "I thought it'd be covering the eyes, not the mouth!"

The ninja sighed deeply, getting tired of watching that girl run around in her own little world and staying stuck inside a pitfall for hours.

"P-please, help her out of there, Saizo..." Sakura grasped at his scarf.

Once again did the ninja sigh and, faster than the eye could see, he jumped into the hole, surprising all three princesses. He landed soundlessly besides Linfan, grabbed her by her waist and jumped out.

"Oh, wow, that was easy." Morgan blurted out, grabbing Saizo's scarf as he pulled away from her. "Wait! You're him, right? The Saizo fellow? Lemme take a look at your mask!"

"Unhand me, woman!" Saizo pulled his own scarf back as Linfan studied his face with scrutiny.

"Oh, that sounded familiar, heehee," she giggled, remembering Lon'qu from her world. "But that's not it! Lemme just do this..." with her free hand, she grabbed one of the masks she had made previously and stuck it on Saizo's face. "Aw, I got the size wrong!"

Saizo flicked the mask away, managing to whisk himself out of Linfan's hold. "Do not do this again, girl, lest my blade finds itself in your gut by accident." He said and disappeared into a curtain of smoke.

"So he really was watching..." Linfan crouched to get her mask back, deep in thought. "Guess I'll have to relearn how to make them, huh? Now, to cover the mouth instead!"

"Wow, did you make this yourself, Linfan?" Elise picked one mask up -- since Linfan's pouch wasn't properly tied due to the surprise, it fell down when Saizo pulled away from her. "This is so pretty! What kind of paint is that?"

"Oh, there's one here, too..." Sakura picked one that looked like a fox. "So cute!"

"Do you like it? You can have it! I need to make bigger ones to fit Saizo..." She smiled, gathering the remaining dozen so as to tie them back on her pouch. "I can teach you to make it, if you want? With three heads, we can come up with more designs than me alone!"

"Really? You'll teach me?!" Elise trotted to Linfan's side, the foreign girl only one head taller than the nohrian princess. "I'm very good with my hands if I may say so myself! I love to make flower necklaces and crowns!"

"I-I don't like handling knives, but if it's only to carve, then..." Sakura shyly wore the fox mask, her cheeks flushed under it.

Elise and Linfan laughed. "It really does suit you! You really should keep it, after all." The apprentice tactician said. "C'mon, I'll teach you two right away! Let's get back to my tent for some light!"

Both princesses giggled, taking Linfan's extended hands. Their older brothers had advised them to steer clear of that girl, but she looked like such a fun person to be around! They surely would get along well from then on!

The Unfinished Track [Loco]

Artist: Loco | Word Count: 2.746

YESS I'm back and this time it's because of Loco's newest album! Do give his album a listen because I can guarantee the tracks are amazing:) Sorry for the long disappearance since I'm busy studying finals, and I hope you'll like this little something<3

***

Kwon Hyukwoo was a man of few words, preferring to listen rather than to speak, comfortable enough to observe from afar. He was mostly calm if he wasn’t intoxicated by alcohol or in the middle of a concert, his demeanor somehow keeping him sane until now. He is in his middle 20s, currently single although there were girls throwing flirty glances at him inside the bar.

Right now, he’s seated on an empty seat at the bar, while everyone was excitedly dancing on the dance floor, a large disco ball hovering above them. The vibe was amazing, his friends were all gathered in the club, and the vodka he drank tastes perfect to him, but he was grounded, unable to move. But Hyukwoo’s dark brown eyes moved across the room, glancing at the many faces he recognized, only to stop at the middle, just right below the disco ball. At the center of the dance floor, in the heat of the night, Hyukwoo watched the girl that he loves gracefully move along the beat. It was you, teasingly shaking your hips and banging your head, not giving a care to the world as the music was everything to you.

To say it was a little crush was an understatement, it have been so long since he felt something as strong as this, to the point he could call this feeling actual love. Hyukwoo didn’t remember when or how he was suddenly head over heels for you. Maybe it was when you admitted with glowing eyes that you admire his work, or when you’d help when he’s stuck on the beats, or simply when you’d accompany him through restless nights. Hyukwoo doesn’t recollect clearly due to the alcohol kicking in, but his eyes didn’t break from you.

But then his throat gets caught up, breath hitching as he watched a figure push through the crowd to dance with you, immediately earning a laugh from your red lips. The envious feeling inside him grew bigger as Kiseok held onto your hips, rocking against your body, both of your faces looking in bliss. Hyukwoo suddenly wanted to vomit, his heart clenching painfully at the view. He dawn another gulp, hoping the drink would blur his visions, but his eyes never fail to leave you. Giggling against Kiseok’s chest, while the man let his fingers travel dangerously lower. Hyukwoo finally had enough, and he used the burst of energy to turn the chair around, facing the bartender and the shelf full of bottles.

"Can I have something stronger this time?” Hyukwoo asked, evident pain in his eyes as his lips quivered, “Hit me with the strongest drink, if you would.” The bartender looked perplexed at his attitude, but took Loco’s glass anyway, and coming back a few minutes later with his drink.

Hyukwoo drank in one big gulp, a big mistake he realized the moment the burning sensation travelled across his body, causing him to wince. But the aching was still there, the memory of you and Kiseok dancing was still vivid, and flashes of your conversation with the older rapper added more into his suffering. Suddenly it clicked into him that it was a one-sided love after all this time. All the flirty banter and the cheesy remarks thrown at each other were obvious signs. What was he to the great Simon Dominic anyway? Of course a girl would pick Kiseok rather than him, since the legend is a walking perfection.

"Blondie! I thought you’d save me a dancee?” Hyukwoo almost chocked when he felt an arm slung over his shoulder, pulling him closer as he felt hair tickling his cheeks, “And you’re having all the fun with the drinks?” You sat yourself next to him, leaning close with your head resting at your palms.

"I thought you had quite the fun with Kiseok, I didn’t want to interrupt.” You looked at Hyukwoo as if he was no fun, but the thought of dancing with you and Kiseok was far worse than drinking alone to him.

"You know I’m always up for more fun!” You pouted, crossing your arms in a childish way. Hyukwoo released a chuckle although it sounded hoarse, suddenly swept by your cute act.

Oh was he wrapped around your fingers.

“(Name)!” The shout of your name against the loud music broke Hyukwoo’s attention, as he turned along to the source of the voice. Kiseok finally appeared in front of you, a smirk etched on his face, eyes full of lust that Hyukwoo felt sick again.

"Hyukwoo, there you are!” Kiseok greeted the blonde haired man, patting his back in a brotherly manner, “Why don’t you come to the dance floor with us? Wegun is playing his songs now.” Imagining dancing as the third wheel, awkwardly watching the two collide their worlds, while jealousy boiled inside of him doesn’t seem like something he wanted to do. Hyukwoo cleared his throat and glanced from your shining eyes to Kiseok’s open invitation, but decided to decline the chance.

"I don’t think I can, I feel quite dizzy since the drink’s too strong,” Hyukwoo said, feeling his head buzz but not noticing how your face fell, “I’ll go and take a taxi cab home, you two should go enjoy the night like the others.” As he stood from his seat, Hyukwoo wobbled for a moment, suddenly having no energy in his legs. Kiseok had to hold his shoulders to stabilize him, before looking straight into the man’s eyes.

“Hey, you okay?” Kiseok asked, concern in his eyes, while Hyukwoo noticed you mirrored the same expression as his, “Do you want us to help you flag a cab first?” Hyukwoo shook his head and managed to stood straight, showing the two a smile to assure that he’s alright.

“I’m fine, I can do this,” Hyukwoo laughed in a pathetic way, brushing Kiseok’s hand away, “Don’t drive drunk and don’t take advantage of her, alright?” His last message got a barking laughter from Kiseok and a snort from you.

“No man, she’s cool. You know she’s off limits, so I won’t even try.” The reassurance from Kiseok didn’t seem valid, as how the man circles his arm to your hips weren’t in a good way, but Hyukwoo didn’t have any voice to say his thoughts out.

“I’ll be fine Hyukwoo, I can take care of myself.” Hearing your bright voice and how nice his name rolled from your tongue had somehow changed Hyukwoo’s mood. The man then chose to leave now, taking a few steps back and waving goodbye to the two.

By the time he was inside a taxi, with the car maneuvering through the city and the lights from the building lighting up his night, Hyukwoo knew he was fucked up. There was simply no chance, for the chemistry between you and Kiseok was undeniable. The thought made him sick, and soon tears were freefalling down his cheeks, and he felt more miserable because he felt weak. Hyukwoo suddenly hated everything, hated how he couldn’t have you as his lover, hated how he was so vulnerable because you meant that much to him. Suddenly regret washed over him, the remorse of not being brave enough to ask you on a date, or to confess earlier. Hyukwoo hated how he felt like he had the worst luck, like the universe was against him. And by the time he hit the soft cover of his bed, the pain hadn’t gone away at all.

It was about a week after the incident at the bar was when Hyukwoo decided to work on his newest album, set to be released next month. There would be nights when he just doesn’t go home, using the same pair of clothes and looking disheveled and quite atrocious. He was always companied either by Sunghwa, Jay, or other artists he was working with. Tonight he was working on track thirteen, what he planned to be the last track of the album. The main beat was done, but it was left playing on repeat for two hours now, as Hyukwoo had no idea how to fill it with the lyrics.

As if he was tongue tied, Hyukwoo seemed to have no idea how to express his feelings. His mind kept on repeating the bar scene, reminding him of you and Kiseok, and it made him felt sick and numb. All he wanted was to tell the story, to tell how he felt about all this but no words can’t seem to fathom his feelings. It was like he was floating in space, feeling lost at everything and something that’s vivid was the feeling of his heart breaking.

Suddenly the wooden doors of the studio were knocked three times, and Hyukwoo could only glance at it hesitantly, not really wanting any visitor now. But before he can shout any answer, the door flung open anyway, revealing your form that was grinning up to him.

“Can’t get the lyrics out again?” You asked, shuffling towards the empty chair beside him, “I heard the beat playing again and again, but you didn’t make any sound.” Hyukwoo finally lets out the sigh that flowed with his fatigue, leaning against his chair with eyes full of frustration.

"Yeah, another one of those moments,” Hyukwoo answered, his fingers silently fidgeting as he suddenly felt nervousness inside him, “So, what brings you here?” He asked, raising his head to see your confused eyes."

“I’m here to help! It’s boring listening to the beats and you know I’m way better at compiling words than you.” The remark earned a snort from Hyukwoo, and the man didn’t have the heart to push you out of the studio now. Your company had always been nice, and he’s grown to miss it ever since the incident.

So, tell me how I may be of your assistance?” You started, pulling your chair closer to him and facing the blonde haired man, “What do you want the story for the song about?” He felt himself feeling anxious at your anticipating gaze, and if he was tongue-twisted now, it felt like his lips were sewn shut now."

“Uh, that’s the problem actually,” Hyukwoo stated, his fingers raking against the back of his hair, “I can’t let it out. I feel like I lost my ability to express my feelings, when that’s what I’m supposed to do.” You stared in sympathy, knowing well how the feeling felt and why it happened.

“Is it a bad memory? Is it something a bit too sensitive?” You asked, gently holding Hyukwoo’s sweaty hand with your right hand. Hyukwoo jolted for a moment, and relaxed at the way your thumb caress his skin.

“Kind of, it’s quite heartbreaking. I just want to let the feelings out, you know? It sucks feeling like this, not able to function like you normally do.” The frustration was real in the pleas of his voice, and all sort of thoughts were going in your mind, wondering whatever happened to your friend that made him this distraught?

“Maybe you should close your eyes, Hyukwoo,” You hesitantly said, catching Hyukwoo off guard from his trance, “This is a tip from Kiseok actually, but if you close your eyes and believe that the only thing that exists is you, then maybe you’d be able to speak your feelings aloud. Maybe the words would finally come to you.” The smile on your lips were in the middle of not knowing if it would work and insisting for him to try, and Hyukwoo felt too weak to argue even if it was Kiseok’s damn tips, so he merely let out a hum before his visions were closed by your left hand.

He didn’t felt calmer, in fact Hyukwoo felt attacked, because the press of your soft palm against his face was a strong reminder that he wasn’t alone. Hyukwoo wasn’t in solitude flying through the galaxy, he felt pulled by the gravity of Earth and smacked straight into your memory. He suddenly felt overwhelmed, the memory of the bar not leaving his mind, and he even started to imagine you and Kiseok kissing passionately. His breath felt caught up, his body shaking violently, his hands gripping onto your left hand. You were taken aback by the drastic change, shocked at how Hyukwoo suddenly had a hard time controlling his breath.

"Hyukwoo, are you alright?"

“I loved a girl so much, but she doesn’t love me back, okay?” Hyukwoo weeped, and soon your palm felt moist, and his cheeks were tainted with tears, “It hurts so much because she’s my everything and so perfect in my eyes, but she couldn’t be mine and it’s a constant reminder I couldn’t wipe away!” You quickly pulled your hand away and repositioned them to cup his cheeks, attempting to wipe the tears away, but your attempt was quickly swatted away with Hyukwoo’s hand.

The man looked broken, his glassy eyes mirroring the condition of his soul, full of sorrow. You didn’t know what to do, afraid to touch him and make another bad move, but you wanted to hug him tightly into your arms. How you wanted to run your hand through his blond locks, gently rubbing his back and whispering to him that everything’s going to turn out fine, but it felt like there were walls covering him. And you were lost, not knowing what to do.

“Leave,” Hyukwoo whispered, bringing his hand up to wipe the tears, “Please leave me alone.” Guilt washed over you as you stood up slowly, actually reluctant to go, but Hyukwoo didn’t even look at you, as if hiding his eyes from your inspection. You gulped, pushing the chair away from you.

“I’m sorry, Hyukwoo.” And with that, you walked out of the studio, closing the doors as silently as you could. Moments later, you could hear papers flying inside, thudding sound coming from kicks and punches, and screams of welled frustration painting the studio with a heartbreaking vibe. Inching away from the doorknob, you chose to go home for tonight.

“Did you know that Hyukwoo’s album was supposed to have a 13th tracks?”

“Sorry?”

“Do you know how much tracks are inside Hyukwoo’s newest album?” You asked, nervously staring at Jay. With Kiseok being sick, Jay was your only hope in finding someone to help Hyukwoo, since you can’t seem to help your blonde haired friend.

“In total there’s 12 tracks in there,” Jay answered, brows furrowed in confusion, “And you said it was supposed to have another track? But Hyukwoo only gave me 12, not 13.” You chewed on your lips, silently pondering how you should tell your boss and Hyukwoo’s close friend about this.

“That unfinished track quite fucked him up, Jay,” You whispered, finally having the confidence to talk, “I helped him to tell the story of the song, but that was when everything crashed down. I don’t think I could talk to him about this, since I was the one that urged him to tell me the story. He never felt the same ever since, and I need your help to bring the old Hyukwoo back. He’s really messed up, and I don’t know anyone that can fix this other than you. You’re one of his closest friends, right?” Jay’s eyes were wide, mouth hung apart as he listened to your explanations, as pieces of why Hyukwoo’s been acting different started to show the bigger picture.

And in all honesty, Jay had no idea how he’s going to fix his friend, because he believed only you could fix him. The CEO knew you were the problem that screwed him up, yet the clarity to fix him whole. But how was he supposed to say that when you’re both so clueless and oblivious to the mutual feelings you both shared?

"I… I’ll see what I can do,” Jay said, proceeding to stand up from the sofa he was sitting, “I’ll talk to him later. In the meanwhile, give the guy some space. I’m sure Hyukwoo would come around soon.” And Jay left you, alone with your thoughts, heart hammering in remorse, worried for the man that’s promoting his album in the heart of the town.

You could only lower your head and cry, because you missed Hyukwoo so badly, and the guilt that ate you up somehow made you think the fault if at you. And you couldn’t do anything about it, simply nothing.
