@skyes_serenade truthfully he’s not sure where to bring null now, so he opts for the markets! it’s bustling as usual.
“at least now you have a companion here in town aside from me, sir null.”
[🏰]
it’s been quite a bit since the rise of the demons in the surrounding woodlands, and mordred could not be even more concerned than he is now.
still, he’s been tasked with defending the kingdom from within the castle walls should threats dare to break through.
so, seeing it glinting on the ground, you pick it up. it seems to warm in your hand. looking closely, there seems to be something engraved on the inside. ]
@yukirurikawha “o-oh.”
< “ah…” >
the two mankai members cast a glance to each other before looking to the girl and the bird.
“gwen-san? would it be mean to ask how your brother is like…?”
@skyes_serenade ~ “please do! i do look forward to it!” ~
she beams, and with a clear of the young man’s throat, null gestures for him to follow.
“we bid you a good day, miss vera.”
~ “and the same to you two as well, sir null, sir mordred!” ~
@yourdreamgai they really hold rosemary in high regard…
a glance to guy, and sakuya nods! might as well bond a little with the residents and maybe get information!
“sure! i’d love to help, this looks like a big task for once person alone.”
“um…!”
sakuya raises his hand, looking up at guy.
“would it be okay if i could come?”
the island sounds fantastical, something that he’d be able to tell the children at the daycare!
and since he hasn’t needed to be at his job as often as usual, it wouldn’t hurt to join!
@yukirurikawha yeah they definitely heard the shift in tone. sakuya and tsuzuru exchange glances before looking to gwen.
< “you can be honest, gwen.” >
awkward tsuzuru mumble.
< “it’s not the most attractive kind of hairstyle.” >
“are you alright, gwen-san?” :0
@yukirurikawha “oh! can i, tsuzuru-kun?”
sakuya hops off the seat, standing in front of tsuzuru with a small smile.
< “… ah, just this once i guess.” >
and with tsuzuru’s approval, sakuya gets to work! gentle hair ruffle for tsuzuru.
@yukirurikawha < “guh-?” >
the clicking of the keyboard stops when tsuzuru looks between gwen and macha, seemingly confused.
“he is! but i guess masumi-kun meant in costume?”
@skyes_serenade “c-come now, pleasantries won’t get us anywhere.”
mordred glances off as vera perks up, smiling brightly at null.
~ “well i’d hate to hold you back while you’re getting settled here, sir null, but i’d love for you to drop by again whenever you’d like to chat!” ~
@yukirurikawha “haha, it’s more like… masumi-kun- he’s in our troupe too!”
sakuya’s smile grows warm at the thought of his fellow troupemate.
“he and tsuzuru-kun butt heads quite a bit, but it’s all in good fun! i know masumi-kun poked fun at his hair during the runs of our show.” ^^
@LiarsMagic his heart aches at that. weighs him down even, with the way sakuya slouches.
“… that’s just… b-bitter, you know…? i don’t hate you for it, chikage-san, it’s just…”
it hurts that you sound so defeated, goes left unsaid.
@skyes_serenade ~ “oh…! sir mordred, you never fail to impress.” ~ ^^
he promptly flushes a rosy pink, clearing his throat.
“y-yes- well, only doing what i can whilst sir gawain tends to outside the kingdom’s boundaries…”
@yukirurikawha < “on the contrary of some of our troupemates…” >
is tsuzuru’s bashful reply, but sakuya pouts in protest.
“but he looked really nice! the appearance just… kind of made the reveal more woah in your face! like a surprise!”
< “tell that to masumi.” >
“that’s just masumi-kun!”
@LiarsMagic “… that… still means you’re part of mankai though, right…?”
he tries to say, the words that the older says biting at him with a bitterness he never really expected from someone like chikage.
“this… organization, isn’t it in your… the past…?”
