Damien looks up, giving a weak chuckle at the other’s words. He shifts to pull out the extra chair at the table, offering it to the other. “Can’t. Too busy to.” He replied, motioning to the piles of papers and the laptop with 20 plus tabs open. “I’m so close to figuring this out, I know it. I can’t stop, not until I figure out a way to put an end to this—‘story’.” His expression changes to one of disgust before he sighs. A hand runs through the fallen angel’s hair. “Besides, angels don’t tire.” He lightly jokes.

“You look tired. I think you need to get some sleep.”

He grins and slides into the room, holding a black and blue wrapped box in his hands. Damien happily walks over to where the other sat, offering the box. “A gift. Happy birthday, old friend.” He’s got a warm smile on his face. If Dante opens the gift, he’ll find a ring made of snowflake obsidian within. - knights-blood ((hiii Solace wanted to send smth for Dante/Damien’s bday uwu))

In comparison to the modern mayor, Dante was keeping the day discrete. The only ones who would know it was his birthday were those who knew him as a human, and he hoped they were wise enough to keep it to themselves. He had enough hassle on his 'birthday' in June without having anyone know when the real day was.

Seeing Damien enter alone allowed the entity to lower his guard and put his study notes aside. He knew the knight well enough. There wouldn't be a fuss parading after him. But before he could say anything, Damien presented a small box, one that was beautifully wrapped. "I don't know why I expected you to do nothing. It's a foolish thought, in hindsight. Thank you, and thank you for not doing this in a public place." At least the office gave a sense of privacy, even if the door was open.

The box was carefully unwrapped, in a manner that ensured that there was minimal damage to the paper. Then, the lid was slowly opened to reveal a ring. Simple, yet beautiful. The stone was like a moment of snowfall frozen in time, kept safe in the embrace of the metal. "This... This is beautiful, Damien. I've never seen anything like this before." It was examined with such care, before he made the decision to put it on his left middle finger. "I will take good care of it. I do hope you aren't going to run off just yet. I would like even a few minutes of the day to chat and take my mind off studying."

I found a prof Sycamore rp blog so now I gotta play through X while also playing through black/white though X might take priority

The knight nodded at the thank you, smiling warmly. He quietly listened, chuckling at the mention of Leon’s team liking sweet and spicy food. “Ah, really? Well—I’ll have to see which of them like the sweet and which wanna try the other flavours out!” Damien mused. “I know most of them like the curry I make whenever we hang out in the wild area but who knows, they might find they like poffins more.” He chirped.

Damien then grinned at Shade. “I remember a time before Shade had let me catch him. He wouldn’t leave me alone after I left a few poffins out for him, always getting super happy whenever he’d notice some alongside the berries I’d leave out.” He laughed softly before grinning as the pokemonnin question gently nudged him.

“Oh, no worries!” He replied with a soft chuckle. “Don’t worry about paying me back. Consider it a treat on me!” Damien chirped, smiling warmly at Leon. He had a habit of paying for his friends’ food so it had been an instinctive action mostly. That and he’d like to think he and Leon were at least a little more than jusr aqquaintances.

At the question, the pokemon grew a bit—flustered as he was put on the spot. Damien smiled at Shade’s reaction and nodded. “Yeah, he does. Plus it’s been quite a while since he had any so I figured I’d treat him! I got the other five for the rest of my team to see if they’d like them. Wonder if any of my current team might get their own sweet tooth from them!” He mused aloud, laughing softly.

Leon couldn’t help but smile. “Thank you…”

As Damien explained about the sweet tooth, Leon couldn’t help but chuckle. “I’ve seen a lot of Pokemon adapt to the favourite foods of their fellow trainers and other Pokemon on their team. I wouldn’t be surprised if they all enjoy the sweet Poffins, too! My Charizard and I like spicy food, and same with my Dragapult and Mr. Rime. The rest of my team like sweet foods, though, so I try to have a mix of both whenever we eat.”

though you fall and scrape your knees, you get up. your wings were clipped long ago— it is time for regrowth.

you wonder who you were, before the cruel gods sent you here to suffer. were you someone’s child? a sibling? a lover? alas, you’ve forgotten who you used to be.

“Oh, no worries!” He replied with a soft chuckle. “Don’t worry about paying me back. Consider it a treat on me!” Damien chirped, smiling warmly at Leon. He had a habit of paying for his friends’ food so it had been an instinctive action mostly. That and he’d like to think he and Leon were at least a little more than jusr aqquaintances.

The cashier nodded and input Damien’s order. “Will that be cash or card?” She asked, a smile on her face. Despite it though, she looked like she wanted nothing more than to clock out and sleep. The knight felt bad though he internally praised her for her ability to at least seem chipper.

“Card.” Damien spoke, slipping out his card before Leon could protest. He tapped the card machine before putting the item away. He gently took the reciept from the cashier before moving to the side to wait for their food. He smiled and waved Leon over. Darkrai happily floated after his trainer, seemingly much happier about the idea of poffins. It’d been a while since he had any.

Leon’s eyes widened as Damien decided to straight-up pay for both of them. “A-ah! I could have paid for my own…er, thanks!” 

Welp. Leon made a mental note to do Damien a favor next time around. Maybe he could pay for his coffee or tea next time. As Leon followed (thankfully the cafe was too small to get lost in), he noticed how happy Darkrai was.

“Does Darkrai like sweets? He seems really excited. Also, thanks for paying for my order…”

when you look in the mirror, what’s looking back at you? this body, face, voice— is it yours?

someday you will learn to trust his scarred yet gentle hands.

the voices around you are muffled, as if you’ve been dunked underwater. faces blur together. your head throbs. you want to sleep forever.

“Likewise, Leon.” He smiled, a rush of adrenaline at the idea of being able to rematch the former champion. He knew he’d have to be ready and give it his all. The other hadn’t held his title of champion for so long after all. Shade seemed just as excited about the rematch, seeming to smile at the idea.

Damien hummed, remembering Hop. “Ah! He’s your brother? I’d been keeping my eye on him since he joined in. He did so well! Do give him my congratulations on getting so far in the competition.” He replied. Hop had been the trainer to catch Damien’s attention, having seen great potential in the young trainer.

Once Leon ordered, he spoke up. “I’ll take a large strawberry smoothie and—“ His eyes lit up as he spotted a familiar food item for pokemon. “6 sweet poffins please!” He spoke, the treat catching Darkrai’s attention in an instant.

Leon couldn’t help but smile at the mention of Hop. “I’ll definitely pass that message on to him.”

At the mention of the sweet poffins, Leon’s eyes widened as he realized that Darkrai was also intrigued. Did Darkrai have a sweet tooth? That was…kinda adorable, actually.

the fact that im not wearing a long hooded cloak that obscures my face with a longsword hanging off my belt is very homophobic actually

Oh, to run my fingers over your scars on a lazy morning. I am grateful you are home.

Damien, poking the mun: give me submas to interact with

Mun: mf there isn’t any submas muns
