"Hi Uri!" She waved, an ear twitching in greeting back to Y'shtola as they passed the other miqo. "Themis is here to help! He said he could help me with my stuff so that you and Thancred and the others could spend more time with the information gathering bit instead of having to go with me to stuff all the time."
A pause, and an unhappy ear droop. "Also in case stuff like Ifrit happens again so I'm not on my own if a Primal pops up." She offered a tentative smile. "That's okay, right?"
She'd clearly been pining with the way she lit up at the suggestion. "Oh! Yes, that could be helpful. We're always so busy too, so having an extra hand for help would be great. If you're with me too, that frees up Thancred or one of the others for searching out information while you help me deal with the primals. A lot of it seems to be tracking down crystals and where they're being taken, it seems."
She'd helped where she could, but the others were much better at the subtle, delicate information probing conversations than she was so they tended to have more luck. Lumi was a lot better at charging in to deal with the problem at its source once they knew where to look. Themis could probably give her some lessons there, honestly.
"We can go after we finish eating if you like. I still need to report in." And go back to thinking about Ifrit, it seemed.

You said she thinks it would be useful, so if she *could* cry on command, what would she use it for?
Getting out of trouble, of course. The last Azem certainly wasn't the first to do completely off the wall things like steal a concept to stop an eruption to save some grapes, after all.
Crazy was half the requirement for the seat of Azem, honestly.

Can they cry on command? If so, what do they think about to make it happen?
Venat can not cry on command, actually. She thinks it would be useful if she could, but alas it is not one of her many talents.

Venat paused, before she grinned and leaned over to grab a marker and some paper. "Here, I know just the thing!" She scribbled something for a moment, before carefully tearing the strips she'd scribbled off and passing them over. "Angry eyebrows. Just for you."
She'd make him some angry googly eyes later, once she had a free moment. It'd be a wonderful surprise.
"What sort of flower do you think an angry moth would like to eat?"
"I don't think I'd be able to eat something if it was glaring at me like that," he replied, amused. He was always happy to entertain a conversation around her interests because she seemed to come alive the most when she spoke of her concepts and her passion for it was beautiful.
He wanted to encourage her, even if she did keep putting that damnable plant out.
"So what I'm hearing is that angry eyes are a good deterrent," he observed from his sunbeam. "Maybe I should try that out myself."

"Hm? Oh! Hello." She beamed, recognizing her little spark and waving a hand lightly. "Marion! What a surprise, I didn't think I'd see you here." She glanced down, humming. "Look, the mandragoras have been doing so well since their creation in my time! Isn't that wonderful?"
Marion had been helping out in Labyrinthos in exchange for studying it's mechanics when he heard a voice he recognized. He walked toward it quickly, wanting to confirm it was someone else. Only to freeze when he saw her, looking the same as she did in Elpis.
"Venat?" He asked, just to make sure.

“You love him, you do, and here’s the miracle: he loves you too. You are allowed to lick off the colour from his lips to listen to the hymns in his pulse to bask in the sunlight of his voice You are allowed to have him. You love each other, you do, and here’s the tragedy: it’s not enough. You are allowed to watch the sun swallow him whole and burn him up to stain your fingers to the bone holding him together to count the constellations in his eyes as they blink out You are not allowed to save him.”
— you can love him, but you can’t keep him ( j.p. )

"Yes." There was no hesitation in the response, immediate and filled with conviction. "Like this they aren't perfect but they're better. Stronger." She didn't know how he couldn't see it but–perhaps the same way he saw the darkness in them that she couldn't see, Hydaelyn could see the light within each of these broken souls that he couldn't see.
"So long as we are here to protect the world from Meteion's influence then I know they'll succeed. And she will lead them when they finally take this fight to her." Because Hestia would have never stood by and left such a task to others, and Hydaelyn had every belief that her shard would be just the same. She might struggle, but she would still go and face the threat head on.
And she and Zodiark would be right there with them, as always.
Zodiark remained silent as she spoke, allowing his opposite to speak as to how she felt about the matter. There was the occasional tug on her hair, though only to keep himself from drifting in attention; and he let out a sigh as he watched a pair of sundered souls argue on the docks. To him, they were imperfect, broken. He didn’t see what Hydaelyn saw in them – but he supposed that was their nature. They were still, however, his people – their people. Their duty, and their purpose. It was to them, these half, broken souls that were scattered across the star – that their duty laid.
( He would never say it was love, but that was what it was. In its purest form. )
“Do you think they can overcome it this time? As they are.” He asked turning his attention back to Hydaelyn, “Do you think we can help them this time?”

Ah. Her shoulder lifted against him lightly, a noise escaping her throat before she could suppress it. Perhaps he was a bit more concerned than she'd thought. "Alright," she conceded after a moment, shifting in his lap to pat his cheek lightly.
"I do think you're more worried than needed but if you insist." They certainly didn't want any Allagans, though. That would be a headache no one needed. Hydaelyn tugged at him lightly, humming. "I'll behave."
That did nothing to soothe Zodiark’s ire, instead his teeth embedding themselves into her shoulder in retaliation. Stop it, was the quiet demand. “You don’t know that.” He muttered after he let go, letting out a low grumble of discontent. “Remember the Allagans? How they almost got Elidibus because I thought it’d be a good idea to observe?”
He’d finish fussing in a moment, after he was certain that Hydaelyn understood where he was coming from. Please don’t make me destroy another part of the world like that again.
“Just. Be more careful, okay?”

“When I open my eyes that mess you left on my desk better be gone, Venat.” Came the low growl from Hephaistos; who was presently resting on the small couch in his office; ice pressed against his head. “And why in the star’s name did you decide to allow that creature to go galloping into the Anyder without any clearance?” Yes, he had gotten nearly trampled in the process, and yes, he was mad about it.
"Mess? I didn't leave any mess on your desk, Lahabrea." On his chair, however... Well, he did specify the desk. She smiled politely, hands folded in front of her as she studied him for a moment, feeling at least a little bad for the whole mess that had occurred with her little prank.
"I didn't think it would cause any harm?" She'd mostly just wanted to cause a little bit of consternation by walking it through the building, and Hermes had assured her the equine was docile among humans and quite tame for something of its size. She supposed he'd not accounted for the creature being spooked by an unfamiliar environment and startled yelling from surprised researchers.
"In my defense, I hadn't actually intended for more than a simple walk through the lobby with the creature before leaving as a small joke. I didn't think to account for it being spooked and taking off before I could catch it again." She leaned over, pushing closer a small coffee on the table beside his couch.
"Hermes would like to send his apologies for the affair and for allowing me to talk him into it. He sent you a coffee from that cafe you enjoy."

"I don't know what you're talking about," she denies, though she allows herself to be forced down into his lap even as she doubles down on the innocence. She shifts minutely, fully aware that any punishment forthcoming is going to be well deserved. She was pushing boundaries, after all.
"No one saw me. I was quite invisible, so there was nothing to worry about."
At least so long as no one there had had the Echo; it was perhaps possible she'd overlooked a detail or two.
There’s the sort of derisive snort that indicated Zodiark wasn’t buying it, harshly tugging Hydaelyn in a manner that would’ve hurt a lesser being. “Don’t be a brat about this, Hydaelyn.” He said in a chiding tone, “It’s unbecoming of a deity such as you to keep the pretense of someone who’s innocent. We both know that you’re not.”
There was a sigh, forcing Hydaelyn to sit on his lap as Zodiark rested his chin on her shoulder. “I really wish you would be more careful when you’re interacting with the mortals. You know we can’t reveal ourselves. What if they try to capture you?”

@astrcldarkness || alerting yours to a rule they have broken
Hydaelyn straightened slightly, tilting her chin back just a touch defiantly as she met Zodiark’s gaze. For a moment she stayed silent, but when he didn’t continue she tilted her head just a tad.
“I’m afraid you’ll have to refresh my memory,” the primal finally offered sweetly. “As I seem to be unable to remember what rule you’re referring to. Perhaps darling Elidibus isn't the only one suffering the strain of carrying us together?”
