On returning to a much missed game. ;-;

[heavenlygarden]

Hurray~!

It's wonderful to be back, isn't it? Go ahead and give me the grand tour. I'm ready to see all of it - even the scary parts. [Maybe. 8| ] I'll just need a bodyguard first. Hmmm...

[last_to_kneel]

A...body guard? Are ya thinkin' of goin' in there?

[...]

ARE YA NUTS!?

[heavenlygarden]

Not exactly. But it might be dangerous to get too close or...find out too much.

[last_to_kneel]

Look, I've been in there and it screwed with me so I know first hand the dangers. I can protect us just fine, it's what happens on the inside once ya breathe that mess in that's hard t' shake.

[heavenlygarden]

I'm not worried if you accompany me. We can look out for each other, right? [She gives him a confident smile.]

[last_to_kneel]

[Taken aback by this, he blinks.]

I...yeah. You're not bothered?

[heavenlygarden]

Why would I be? Taking a risk is apart of the deal!

[last_to_kneel]

Damn, an' here I thought I was the reckless one of th' bunch. That's not a bad thing, believe me! I'll go with ya.

[heavenlygarden]

I've been cooped up for a long time. Being alive again makes me feel...adventurous. [She stretches her arms over her head, sighing contentedly.]

[last_to_kneel]

Ha ha, yeah, I know that feelin' too. Maybe a little too well.

[heavenlygarden]

So let's get to work! Do you know anyone else who might want to join us, Varon?

[last_to_kneel]

Tch, hell no. If anything, they're smart not to. Then again, I don't go 'round askin' people, Oy, ya wanna join me in a game of Chicken with the Mist? Yeah, that doesn't go over too well.

'Sids, most blokes I know're the thinkin' type. I'm not 'bout to ask the android. She's too new an' a liability.

[mysistersprotector]

My writer was looking at the same place, not sure if they want to send me there yet or not. But if they do, I'll try to be as much help as I can in keeping everyone safe.

[heavenlygarden]

You'll be very busy. Anatole is a dangerous world. But you shouldn't give up! I would give you plenty to do~.

[mysistersprotector]

That's okay, dangerous and busy sounds about right for my life. Might get a chance to relax if they pick somewhere easy, wouldn't want that, would they.

[heavenlygarden]

They seem to get bored easily. [A sigh.] I like adventures, though, so it's not so bad for me.

[mysistersprotector]

Adventure isn't so bad, I guess it has to beat running for your life daily, it might not be that horrible.

[heavenlygarden]

Why are you running for your life daily?

[mysistersprotector]

Because The One wants my sister's power so he can take over our world entirely and me, well he has to stop me and her both, because apparently according to a Prophecy me and her are the ones meant to save the world. That part, I can almost believe, I know one thing, my M doesn't act up when I am using it to help people or keep them safe.

[heavenlygarden]

[What follows is silence. Aerith can relate to his situation in so many ways. Approaching him, she gives him a small hug.]

I'm sorry.

[mysistersprotector]

(Whit is fairly at ease in returning the small hug, offering a smile that is tinged with boyish flair and gratitude all at once.)

Nothing for you to be sorry for, I highly doubt you're the one who set a maniacal tyrant loose on the world.

[heavenlygarden]

No, I didn't. But...I know how you feel. [Those words are barely whispered into his ear as she bows her head.] There was someone like that on Gaia too.

[mysistersprotector]

(It is Whit's turn to be reminded of home by her demeanor alone and he initiates a hug this time, a bit tighter than the last he still smiles over the emotions his eyes can not quite hide.)

Hey, what's that old saying "Nothing worth having is ever easy." Guess freedom and happiness are definitely worth having, even if they aren't easy. Just have to plow through it all to get there, that's it.
