[ The staff is swatted out of his face, once, then twice, a smile on Sorey's face as he drifts in between a state of wake and sleep.

Rolling over, Sorey gets a wack square in his temple and launches upwards from bed with a yell. ]

I-I'M A SHEPARD! MALEVOLENCE IS -

[ He stops mid-gesture, his arms outstretched as if pulling back a bow drop and he looks stunned for a second before he turns to Mikleo and looks mildly hurt. ]

M-Mikleo! Did you have to use the staff? We don't have anywhere to rush off too....

[His response gets a little laugh out of Mikleo. Hopefully, no human overhears him and gets worried the Shepherd's being attacked...]

Well, I tried calling out to you, but that didn't work. Anyways, Rose and the others already left. They said they were going to do some shopping around town.

[And Lailah looked way too happy when she said it'd be just him and Sorey.]

But you might want to rethink your sleep fighting techniques. I don't know how well armatizing with me will work when I'm your opponent, Sorey.

[ He feels his face heat up a little despite his earlier indignation, it must have been really late if Rose and everyone had left. ]

Who said I was armatizing with-

[ The protest dies on his lips when he remembers it's only when he and Mikleo are together that he uses a bow.

He closes his eyes and sighs, accepting defeat at the hands of his best friend humbly. ]

Sorry Mikleo. I guess it's taking more out of me than I thought it would.

[ He rubs the back of his neck as he quietly admits his exhaustion.

It's everything not, just armatizing. The constant travelling, fighting malevolence, the new responsibilities that came with being a visible symbol...it was easy to explore ruins and wish for different future than it was to be a part of it.

His face returns to being smiles as he steps out of bed and stretches.]

I'm glad you stayed behind. I probably would have assumed something bad had happened and burst into the dining area in my underwear.

I know. I mean, I don't know what it's like being the Shepherd, but- I know you, Sorey.

[Always wanting to do the right thing, always believing in humanity... and having to accept that not everyone feels the same way.]

You're lucky that I was the one who stayed then. Edna volunteered first, you know.

[And they both know how that would've gone.]

[ He gives Mikleo a fond look. All the Seraphim (-and Rose) have become such an essential part of his journey, but there is no doubt in his mind he wouldn't have held up half as well without Mikleo's familiar presence by his side to remind him of the dream that drove them both. ]

You don't have to keep trying to prove yourself when it's just us, I know you're capable! I never doubted it. But, If you were the Shepard and I was the Seraph you'd feel the same way I did.

[ He still is kinda nervous.
But the more pressing and easily imagined fantasy situation of Edna crushing him to death or making creative use of her umbrella takes forefront and he grimaces. ]

Uh...haha, I guess I really owe you one. If I treat you and we catch up to Rose and the others can we call it even?

Hmph. I'm not trying to prove anything...

[He pouts, muttering to himself. He hates how Sorey can be like this... Some days he'll see right through him and other days he's as observant as a rock.]

You always treat. I mean, I doubt there's a merchant or barkeep anywhere that would take money from a seraph. But you're hungry after sleeping for so long, aren't you?

Well, you fooled because you sure are acting like it!

[ Well, there's the rock. He gently bumps his shoulder into Mikleo's as he leads the way out of the inn.

Sorey gives a wave to the young man sweeping in the entrance way before making a tossing motion at him with the key Rose had left for them. The young man is a little bit younger than Sorey and they they match impish grins as he let's the broom fall to the floor to catch the key Sorey pitches him. ]

Just consider it making up for all you did in Elysia.

[ The young man stares at Sorey in confusion, but Sorey doesn't notice. Seeing Seraphim is something he probably won't ever remember is an abnormal and unique skill. ]

So! Catch up with Rose or investigate what a blood pudding is first?

[Mikleo watches as the broom falls, knowing he could easily catch it. But that'd end up causing more of a stir than they needed. He's well used to it, but it's frustrating how humans will fear anything they don't know, even someone helping them.]

Careful. All the legends in the next Celestial Record might just be about the Shepherd talking to air.

[It's said teasingly, but he's seen the way some people look at Sorey. Monster... they called him. Still, those thoughts are shoved away in favor of BLOOD!]

Wait, you don't think it's actually made with blood, right...? I bet it's just pudding with something red in it.

If anyone is going to write about me, it'll probably be you or Rose and I know you wouldn't let her write anything too mean.

[ The thought of Mikleo outliving him is something he's thought about. Something they used to talk about when they were younger and the concept of them living out natural lifespans was more likely. He still won't entertain the idea that Mikleo's existence could be consumed just as easily as his now, by combat or corruption.

Pudding is easier to talk about. ]

Mmmhm. They probably just named it that to keep kids from sticking their fingers in before dinner.

[ He grin. ]

But we won't know until we try. Are you in, Meebo?

Edited 2017-06-30 02:34 (UTC)

I don't know. Mayvin will probably write something, and who knows... he might just take first person accounts.

[Random worker at random inn probably won't be at the top of his list, though. But Mikleo honestly can't imagine a world without Sorey... He's known since they were kids and the difference between them is greater than ever, but it's still not something he wants to face. So, pudding it is.]

Don't call me that! You'll just encourage her, you know! But yeah, I'll try it. If there is blood in it, though... I guess we could give it to one of Dezel's mutts. Well, not me, obviously.

[ He laughs and shrugs his shoulders as he leads them towards the outskirts, the town gives way to dotted tanners and meat business. ]

If it's Mayvin then we don't have to worry, I trust him too. -and once people can see Seraphim again they'll just look like the goofy ones!

[ Sorey turns on his heel to face Mikleo properly instead of just talk at at him. ]

I'm not gonna spend money on something we're just gonna feed to dogs...

[ A pause. ]

Are you going to tell me whats bothering you or is it my fault again?

You really believe that, huh...

[His voice isn't nearly as enthusiastic as Sorey's because he's honestly not sure what would happen if all humans could see seraphim.

But when Sorey turns to face him, he's actually surprised. Something bothering him? Something's always bothering him, but... either Sorey's looking too much into it or Mikleo doesn't even realize it himself.]

Well, you did just call me Meebo. But I'm fine. Let's just get something else then.

Why is that a surprise? Don't you?

[ His pose is still energetic; but his hands on his hips and back straight, but his shoulders sag a little bit at that.

Green eyes search purple ones as if somehow starring at Mikleo is going to close the sudden distance between the two of them now they've left Elysia and are being forced to grow up. ]

It's cute! It suits you...

[ He breaks eye contact and makes a face at the ground before perking back up.]

-and I want something sweet, without blood. The bakery at near the end of the street should be able to satisfy our intellectual pursuits and my stomach.

I mean, I do, but... it seems so far off.

[Like something that wouldn't happen in my lifetime, he almost says. But he's a seraph... Does he mean Sorey's lifetime or? It's hard to think of the two separately.

Wait, cute?! What is he saying? Mikleo feels his whole face go warm as he struggles to respond.]

It's not cute! It's annoying! And I'm a Sub Lord, you know! I'm not supposed to be cute!

[After his little outburst, he sighs and walks ahead of Sorey, not looking back.]

Let's go.

[ He laughs in response and follows, it's weird how quick they go from a potentially serious conversation back to being kids again. ]

You don't have to be cute to have a cute nickname, you know....

But, I think it'll happen. I might not live to see it, but you will. - and thinking of you making other friends, Lailah getting to share hobbies, Edna learning to like people, Zavied making girls blush....it makes me happy. I'm happy to fight for a world that'll benefit so many people I care about.

Edna liking people? I don't know if even the Shepherd's capable of that huge a miracle.

[He wants to argue... that Sorey deserves to see that world himself. That he doesn't need to make other friends. But it's not worth it.]

Remember, you're not fighting alone, Sorey. We're all right beside you. As long as you don't call me cute, I guess.
