@vashtasticmagic There’s a soft chuckle that echoes between them. Though, if asked, they’ll just say Vash was hearing things. That they didn’t actually laugh.
{ FUNNY. I WAS GOING TO SAY THAT TO /YOU/, YOUNG, DREADING ONE. }
Before an answer is made, they leap and soar into the skies once more.
@avegrctia@vashtasticmagic They know their words won’t reach her, so they don’t even bother trying. Instead they step back, encase themselves in glowing light, and emerge back as the griffon they were when first met, staring down at Vash expectantly.
@vashtasticmagic And yet even Moirai cannot protect her forever. When the Chosen fulfills his destiny, Moirai can only hope Nova will not become what they, for once, fear.
{ ...YOU KNOW WHAT YOU MUST DO. PLEASE MAKE IT SWIFT. SHE SEARCHES EVEN NOW, EVER SURE OF HER DECISION. GOODBYE, VASH. }
@vashtasticmagic They close their eyes for a moment before setting off to soar through the skies. It’s decided that they take them to the very place Vash originally called for them, landing to create a large cloud of dust against the ground before bending down to have Vash dismount easier. +

@vashtasticmagic // Sorry in advance for how long this story is...Yikes.
Moirai slowly shuts their eyes for a moment, contemplating. It has been so long since they have heard the tale, or witnessed it through the tides of time, but it will never be… https://t.co/Exsq3FByPG
@vashtasticmagic@avegrctia to learn the truth, then I shall speak of it.” It doesn’t show in their voice at all, but much like Leviathan—Moirai is also quite done with Vash’s shit. “Do know, however, it is not a happy one. Or a short one. It’ll require some time to explain.”
@vashtasticmagic@avegrctia “Which is what I had implied before, and yet that is what you said a discussion is for. Showing no interest into learning the truth from anyone, but delving further into your ignorance. But /now/ you wish to learn more about Leviathan?” They glance at Nova. “As long as /you/ wish

@vashtasticmagic@avegrctia Glances back to Nova. “Perhaps do not follow my example and instead speak your mind. Say what it is you truly want. I do not help those unsure of their true desires. Say to this young woman /the truth/. You are hesitant on breaking this deal, aren’t you?”
@vashtasticmagic@avegrctia “The more you say those words, the more they lose their true meaning. They do not even sound like words of your own. So how am I to believe you?” They glance over at Vash. “Have you and the Hand actually considered if this is truly the Young Star’s desire still? to be freed?” +
