{ The pain and burning grew stronger as the vine attached itself fully onto Yuu's body , as it glows ever slightly }
[ Banished looked back at Yuu with the tears in his eyes before swiping then away briefly ]
Calm down , the pain will ease in a bit ..
[ Yuu was crying again, the younger boy very distressed. He kept eating the food he had been given but there were a lot of tears rolling down his cheeks and his eyes were so glassy with tears that he could hardly see. ]
{ The vines slowly grew to become part of Yuu's skin as a burning pain was emitted from the glowing vines , slowly fusing with the skin in a very painful way }
Just , wait a little ...
"W..wuuhh.." [ Yuu stammered, looking afraid of the vines.. but he took the grilled cheese sandwich that had been offered to him, eating it carefully. ]
[π]
It is one's humble self to announce that our king has passed away.
A private funeral will take place soon. Anyone who wish to visit may approach one of our royal morticians.
The current ongoing Martial Law will now be lifted off from Roadtown and Blackrock.
Ya sure that looking like a homeless man that just went to war isn't self neglecting ?
[ He rolled his eyes , laughing a little at his own statement as he carried player towards Telamon's manor ]
β
β β β whuh .α.α£ β
player let out what could only be described as a yelp as they were suddenly carried .
β neglect is a strong word ... i just have more important things to do ... β
β
[ He took out a grilled sandwich as he signaled Yu to eat it , as he covers the wound with ... glowing vines ..? ]
Just eat it alright , the faster the better .
[ Yuu quite literally was in tears, crying as the other RIPPED the ice spikes off of him. the exposed flesh was agitated and bruises quickly started to form. ]
"I'm.. sorrry- I'm sorry..!" [ He babbled, hiding his face with his hands. ]
Look , just let me help .
[ He literally ripped out a bunch of crystals with force as he looked at the new fresh wound exposing the flesh ]
I shouldn't even really help you cause my armor is now torn into pieces but I'll comply nonetheless .
[ Yuu yelped in pain, weakly trying to shuffle away from BK. ] "Don't.. ddo that, please.. that hurts.."
[ He just kept trying to bandage himself up.. he wasn't all that good unfortunately, especially with shaking hands. ]
You don't look fine .
[ Banished didn't hesitate to listen to player as he abruptly lifted him up with his bare hands like a baby , as if it was nothing ]
I won't let my squire neglect themselves like this .
β
β β β no no γi`m fine γreally .α β
( they wave their hand as if waving away his concerns . )
β i dont need help .. or rest .. i just have to do what i can .α β
( words were spoken in between winces of clear pain . )

{ The cave only got quieter as the steps faded away slowly , the echo not being as strong as one could've thought }
[ The Knight was heading down the path as he lets out a scream , this time it actually did echo across the whole cave . ]
alright..
[ As the other moved, he stood there, now a bit worried. Should he have really trusted him? What if they both got hurt? ]
[ .. eh. He's got this, Bug believes in him.. somewhat. ]
Ya sure you don't want me to take you to the kitchen wizard ? You look horrible .
[ His tone was a little deeper than usual due to the time of the encounter early in the morning ]
Some sleep could fit you as well .
{ As they went deeper inside , the cave got thinner and darker , the roaring getting louder as both Bug's and BK's voice falls down in tone }
[ Now whispering ]
Wait here little one ...
[ He left bug on his own as he kept walking forward , maybe not the best idea ... ]
[ He follows quietly, feeling his prosthetics lightly stab onto the cave ground beneath them as they ventured forward. ]
Eh..? Yeah, I'm okay.
[ A soft smile. Hopefully that'll help his worries. ]
So you were brave enough to actually dare fight the king after all .
Maybe my gut feeling was wrong .
[ He took a closer look at the wound before chipping off a piece without being careful , examinating it as he squints his eyes ]
[ Yuu froze up instantly when he heard BK. He looked.. afraid, scared.... /small/. He already held so much guilt for how π« and π has handled the fight with BK.. and in regards to the other knights at the castle. He let out a shaky breath.. feeling cold but he was alert now ]
[ He looked over at player and the stab , instantly recognizing the power of the ice dagger as he looks back at them , now not feeling like confronting them anymore about the previous fight ]
G-Good lord ! Have you been stabbed by the ice dagger ?
{ BK was still injured from the fight as his once radiant armor was now covered in slashes , considering himself utterly defeated until he caught player in his vision }
[ He stood up to try and confront them , however he soon realized they were also badly injured ]
+ (1/2)
[ Yuu finally came back from the castle, but he was in practical tears. It was from the pain he was in and what he had seen. He didn't want anyone to die, surely. Maybe this was just all some sick nightmare he was being subjected to and he'd wake up soon. ]
[ The knight was walking his way towards Telamon's manor as he comes across player , his gaze quickly shifting towards player ]
MY DEAR TELAMON !? SQUIRE ?!

[ Banished grabbed Bug's hand with caution as he holds out his sword with the other hand as they go into the cave , looking back at Bug in the darkness ]
You okay kid ?
[ He kind of just Stares at him for a moment before looking at the cave. ]
...
[ Then he just Shrugs ]
As long as Dad doesn't know, I'll trust you! [ BUG NO ]
Don't be scared now ! It's gonna be a fun time you gotta trust me !
[ He said as he pointed at a cave nearby , deep , aggressive growls coming from inside ]
