" you're that sun king guy, right ? the one whose been meeting up with gramps - ow. " shou stops mid - sentence with a small grumble when hikari nudges his side for being too 'rude' as the princess nervously folds her hands together to bow to ozymandias. " g - greetings, your majesty ! it's an honor to be in your presence ! i - i hope you enjoy your visit here ! "

S-SUN KING GUY… NO one had ever addressed him like this before. Honestly, for a moment, he wasn’t even sure what he was supposed to say to such a statement. On one hand, it was strangely amusing for the sheer fact that he could imagine that had any of his retainers been present, they would have gasped audibly in horror at how familiar that simple address was. Hikari’s attempt at ‘damage control’ was unnecessary, and yet, he was entertained by it all the same. ❝And you two must be…❞ Ozymandias lifted his hand, rubbing his chin in thought as he tried to recall Crimson’s children. ❝Shou and Hikari, correct? It is a pleasure to be able to speak to the both of you. I had thought that we would never have an opportunity to cross paths considering we are all quite busy individuals.❞ He smiled, offering his own polite bow of his head. ❝I do look forward to being able to get to know you in the future, if you both would allow it.❞

“ mister jianyu … ! ” hikari runs up to the mercenary with teary eyes, hugging onto his arm with a whimper. “ u - uncle ! uncle atlas got hurt ! somebody— i think something attacked him. m - miss elara managed to stop the bleeding, b - but it looked really bad ! he’s in the medical wing. ”

JIANYU HAD BEEN SPEAKING to one of the mercenaries he brought from the guild when the hurried sound of footsteps caught his attention. At first, he had assumed that one of the citizens was coming to him to beseech his aid in dealing with some issue, but upon catching sight of Hikari, he paused. ❝What happened, Hikari?❞ he asked, gently placing his hand upon her shoulder when she grasped his arm. Had something happened to Crimson? One of her brothers? These were the only reasons he could think of that would make her so utterly distressed. What he expected to hear, and what he heard were two completely different things. Alarmed, there were a great deal of questions he wanted to ask, but before then – ❝Khasar, come. Alaina, alert the others that one of the royals has been attacked and to be on the alert.❞ The mercenary in question stood to attention, hand clasping upon leather breastplate in a quick salute before she quickly ran in the opposite direction, leaving Jianyu, Hikari, and his hound as the only one’s present.

     ❝Fill me in on what transpired on our way to the infirmary.❞ For as quick to adopt a position of authority as he was, it had taken every ounce of control to not simply rush off the moment Hikari had told him that her uncle had been hurt. How had this happened? There were still those who held a grudge against the Elysian family, he knew. Citizens who had lost much beneath the Tyrant King’s rule, and even those within the castle itself as well might, have still looked upon Atlas with understandable distrust. Still, security wasn’t necessarily lax around here, so who could it have been? None of that mattered. He just wanted to see Atlas. That was the only thought that would occupy his mind until he saw if his condition was stable.

STARTER CALL closed ♡.

she gave too much effort to care, it was difficult for anyone to miss even someone who couldn't care less for the opinions of others. why pity the sheep when it was meant to go to the slaughter like every other? the question reigned supreme in your mind. no answer would be satisfying so long as you found yourself bound to this body. this creation that either felt the manufactured emotions or nothing at all. instead you choose to watch her from your distance. this fox and hound game exhausting. yet exhilarating like something you'd never known, it was clear to see how easily someone who portrayed themselves as sane. easily was slipping through reality into the realm of insanity.

the second she acknowledges your presence and thus your game is forced to end you do little else but scoff. feet untangling themselves so you're allowed to stand even proudly. if she must live – why must it be so pitiful? the thought is a current controlled only by the brightly burning moon of your intellect. today was different, like an predator drawn to a wounded animal. without question you pounce. arms crossing as the wind blows, it could leave someone a harsh chill but your lack of things concerning human. leaves you unaffected.

❛ i pity you constantly hikari, your dance with this world is as pathetic as the stars. ❜ words tend to wound but not kill as of yet, enough for talons to tighten harshly into the skin of his prey figuratively. hands cold and unfeeling as his intentions rest on her shoulders, smirk growing cheshire. mock concern worked as well as true pity. ❛ do you think they'll thank you? humans are bred selfish creatures from the second they take their first breath. there's no reward to come from this bullshit ❜

you feel responsible to remind her, with or against her will. ❛ i see inside of you, there's anger and hatred. everyone will tell you to move on and let it go but do not let it go. you deserve the comfort that comes with it ❜

@holyrisen :  "  h - hello ! "   hikari greets at the front doors to adrian,  holding a small basket of sweet treats she ended up baking.  beside her stood shou,  who passes them a simple 'yo' with a wave,  hands dug into the pockets of his cargo pants.    "  hey.  is euriel here ?   stopping by for a visit.  well,  mostly hikari wanted to visit the guy,  i'm just chaperoning.  "   his comment earns him a small nudge from hikari,  who pouts at him.

"Well, isn't my little Euri popular lately."  A soft laugh.  This house is truly starting to feel like a home again since they've met the Tsukinos, sibling bickering and all.  "It's good to see you two. Come in, come in. He's around here somewhere."  The doors are pulled further open to accommodate them with ease, eyes practically sparkling at the sight of a familiar basket in Hikari's grasp.

"Are those Sweet Star Café cookies I see?"

@holyrisen​ said : " i'm gonna kick that prick's ass. "   shou grumbles while stuffing his mouth with a muffin he just baked, almost pouting.  with the way he was glaring at euriel from across the room, quietly cleaning his sword, it can be assumed he was talking about him.  hikari awkwardly laughs next to shou before glancing over at bakugo.   " euriel - san beat shou at uno, so he's a bit bitter. " | prompted w/o meme. 

          HE COULD ONLY FIGURE HE WAS SPEAKING ABOUT EURIEL , considering the four of them were the only individuals taking up the space in the cafe at the moment. somewhat fresh from a session of training by his lonesome , hikari had offered him refreshments after the activities & shou happened to appear soon after. sipping at his own lemonade situated on a coaster , katsuki bites back the makings of a smirk , but allows crimson hues to roll freely. 

          ‘ tch.      let ‘em throw hands , hikari. shou talks his shit , but he ain’t about it. ‘ the words that leave his lips are dripping in subtle taunt , a little less bite & a little more play to them than normal. ‘ ‘specially since there’s NO WAY he could beat me at uno either. ‘ it seems like katsuki also wants to brew some trouble , sorry hikari. 

It was a good thing that Hikari called Patroclus when the BSA agent was in his rest time after a tough mission. However, he had to admit that he was surprised when the young girl informed him that Crimson was sick. At first, he thought it was the effects of a curse or poisoning, but later learned that Crimson was simply sick. So dragons could actually get sick, huh?

Before replying to Crimson, he reached out to lightly press the back of his hand to the ill dragon's cheek and forehead. "I'm not sure if 'a little sick' is the proper thing to call it when you're burning with a fever," Patroclus said with a smile just to tease the other, not really scolding them for trying to downplay their illness. "I'll go bring more water. You lay down and no pushing yourself, alright?" And so he was gently ruffling the dragon's hair before going to the kitchen.

@holyrisen • cont.

@holyrisen sent: “ kira - nee, would you still want to spend time with me even if i was a worm ? ” hikari wants to be sure.

❛      of course i would.    ❜ the witch says it as though the answer was obvious, without a hint of hesitation. a hand reaches out to gently pat the young girl's head in an affectionate manner, giving her a smile as she does. ❛    i'd make a terrarium inside of a crystal ball for you to live in so that you're always comfortable, and then i'd carry you around with me wherever i go. you and i would have the most wonderful adventures, hika - chan.     ❜

"uwah !" + "SHIT !" both hikari and shou yelp in surprise when twilight just appears out of nowhere behind them, with hikari holding a hand to her heart and shou scratching the back of his head. "... will you stop just appearing out of thin air, old man ?"

a little caster runs around with a sheet over her head, having previously played hide and seek with some of the younger servants not too long ago and was attempting to find a new spot, when she ends up bumping against ozymandias while rounding a corner.  a little squeak escapes her as hikari falls back, groaning.  " oww .... a - ah, i - i'm so sorry ! "  she squeaks again when she realizes who she's bumped into.

     TODAY HAD BEEN RATHER lively, at least in regards to the young Servants that ran about Chaldea playing their little games. Normally they entertained themselves with Nursery Rhymes little tea parties and storybook sessions, but today was a 'rowdy' day so to speak. He could hear them giggling, small shoes clacking on polished tile as they ran about here and there. Such earned a small smile from the pharaoh, a hint of nostalgia coming over him for just a moment. Despite having heard the commotion, he hadn't expected someone to round the corner right when he had as well. He grunted as they collided against him, stumbling back as a result of the rather violent clashing. Normally his first reaction was to be angry and indignant, but for a moment's time, he had assumed it was one of the children who had bumped into him, thus any anger had been kept under lock and key, replaced instead, by a small sense of annoyance.

     ❝How many times have you been told not to run in the...❞ A pause. ❝Hikari?❞ Well this was unexpected. Was she the one who currently was keeping the young ones entertained? More than likely the answer to that was yes considering the sheet that laid by her side. ❝So you are the one with the bad habits today, hm?❞ Lips curled into an amused smirk, what ill-temper he had felt moment's prior, gone in an instant. ❝Do not worry, I forgive you.❞ Ozymandias stepped closer, his hand held out for her to take -- a rarity from him, but perhaps his mood was good this day. ❝Do be careful when you round corners in the future.❞

i like when you smile. / hikari @ neuvi

     SEDENE HAVING LONG SINCE placed hot cups of tea between him and Hikari, he hadn’t realized that the soft expression he wore was still present until it was mentioned. For how long had she been staring at him? The thought alone was enough to be faintly embarrassing as he cleared his throat, lifting his cup towards his lips and taking a small sip. Catching him in a smile was a rare thing, such given sparingly and oftentimes primarily to certain individuals – said individuals, of course, being the Melusines. Even so, how could he not feel some semblance of fluster at being observed with such scrutiny without being aware? Rather than talking about his smile, of all things, he casually changed the topic’s focus. ❝The weather has been rather pleasant lately. I suppose that is due to the winter winds blowing through, but it does make one wish to go for afternoon walks. While you are here, I highly recommend giving it a try, Miss Hikari.❞

@holyrisen   ..   [ ʰⁱᵏᵃʳⁱ ] inquired  :  “ mello - san ! ” a chipper hop and a wave ! and soon, a small hug from the side ! ♡ [ unprompted. ]

feet carry him to where he needed , whether it was with his knowledge or not. his own thoughts were all consuming. peace quaking from inside of him. humming he stares ahead. ( soft mutters under his breath: unintelligible to even his own ears. ) reminders to himself to finish things. hands untense from their fisted position. rolling the balls of his shoulders before a faint voice fills his mind. that one was new. body turns 'pon 360 to face her as her arms wrap around him. “ hikari . . . what are you doing out there!? ”

arms raise — hesitating before wrapping their arms back around her. only then feeling her chilled frame that caused him to gasp. “ you're freezing ! lunae just let you walk around like that ! ” shoulders immediately relinquish ownership of his jacket. shrugging it over her smaller frame. ignoring the goosebumps he could feel laying wake on his exposed skin.

" i - i ..... i know i'm not the strongest but -- ! " a firmness dips into her voice as hikari huffs with her chest, hand reaching out to hold onto the other's arm. she looks up at him with determined eyes, smiling brightly. " i'm gonna be strong so that even someone like me can be reliable to you ! "

               “     oh — ?  is hikari training so rigorously that she will crack skulls with her fists?     ”     smokey laughter chimes deeply and steady like grand bells tolling in sync to a resting heart’s beat.  she lets him hold his arm, and he rests a heavy hand atop her head caressing it tenderly. her vehemence is admired, much appreciated. it makes him swell up with pride watching such grand bravery bloom brilliantly in a tiny body.       “      silly pup. striving to become stronger is nothing to look down upon, but ...     ”

arm parts from her grasp to kneel to her. that hand of his remains on her head, he begins to sway her left and right, ruffling her hair and making it a messy tuft.    “    how are you not reliable now, ah?  you have a gift: healing. medicine is as valuable to warfare than it is a warrior with a sword or gun.    ”     he looks down, eyes casting a reflective dive into memory of the civil war. how the nurses fought bravely at aizu, standing their ground with rifles as they tended to the wounded saving as many as they could knowing loss was inevitable. 

“      someone told me once that i shouldn’t be so reckless. that if our army was a body, that i was the head — a body can afford to lose limbs, but never the head for that is it. everything is completely lost.     ”      the vice commander reconnects his crimson hues with hikari, angling it gently.     “     and what are medics to the body? glimmers of hope. save the limbs and you minimize the blood loss. minimizing blood loss then helps circulation to the brain, the head.    ”     smile grows, coolly he murmurs hushed rattling her head delicately,     “    think about that, ah? grow stronger by all means, however you were always reliable.     ”
