May 27th

[sacredembers]

((ooc: continued from here!))

Game?

[That makes him lift his head to look at the side of hers. Games have always been fun! At least, they'd make him laugh and learn and not let him feel afraid of whatever's around him.]

May 27th

[fourteen]

[ Peeks back at him with a tiny, bright smile. ]

Mhm! Have you ever played I Spy?

May 26th

[fabrecation]

((ooc: continued from here!))

So you remember being here all this time?

[It's worth a try. He glances down at his arm, before he takes in a deep breath and shuts his eyes.]

Then... do you remember how I got this?

[depressedude]

[Noct's eyes follow Luke's as he gestures down to his arm... oh, he remembers how he got that all right.]

...you got it after Sync tried taking your friend's mind for a test drive.

[Luke doesn't move except to curl up further into himself, he's scared, he's so scared, he's -

And then she says a name that he knows very well.

But instead of looking up at her, he lifts his head and looks around, as if trying to search for the little girl he knows rather than the adult woman in front of her.]

N-Na-ya? [Her name is still very hard to pronounce, after all.]

[benevolency]

Yes, I'm a friend of hers. We have the same name.
[ it's said gently. it's painful to hear his slow words again. painful, but it's a dear memory now she knows it for what it is. ]

May 26th

[fabrecation]

((ooc: continued from here!))

[Ambassador...

The fingers of his good hand curl slightly as his shoulder tenses, but he still smiles. Because while that title makes awful memories pierce through his head, this isn't the time for something like that. There's something she said that's caught his attention.]

Queen...? Then you...

[He takes her right hand, even knowing how awkward it'd be in his own right hand, and he kneels down to press her fingers to his forehead.]

... I knew you'd be like this someday. [He lifts his head to smile up at her.] I always knew you'd be a great queen.

[benevolency]

[ it's been years for her and she's seen luke rounded out a little from the journey. natalia is startled as he kneels before her, suddenly feeling a little more lonely though she wouldn't say it.

her face crinkles in a warm smile regardless. ]

I couldn't have done it without my family. Or my friends.

[ her fingers slip from his forehead and go to the top of his head, gently stroking through strands of hair as she smiles down at him. ]

I did not walk to the throne alone. I had you there to help put the mantle on my shoulders. I have you there when the burden is heavy and I need my family. I'll always be grateful to you. I will always be proud. Looking at you now as you were before..you only continue to grow. Both of us have, together.

((ooc: continued from here!))

[Luke stares for a moment... then lets out a long sigh and ducks her head, her hands rising to rest on her hips before she looks up again.]

Oh, come on, not you too! Of course I'm not! I've always been a girl, all right?

June 1st

[notbridget]

Ehh!? B-But-- [She tries to pick up the words to say, but they keep falling out of her mouth.] But this is an experiment! I've been turned into a man, and now... now you're--!

[... ...] I-I mean...

May 26th

[fabrecation]

((ooc: continued from here!))

It's... a place called Luceti.

[The full explanation might scare him. He's young, and he's already panicked. The last thing Luke wants to do is feed it even more.

So he frowns and looks down at the floor as he speaks again.]

But you don't have to worry. You'll go back home in a few days.

[Which... is true. As soon as Luke saw him, he realized this was another experiment. And it'll be over soon, which means Guy will go back to where he was without any memory of this place.]

May 26th

[thefirstshallbelast]

A few... days...

[Blue eyes flare as he takes a step forward, hands shakily clenching into fists at his sides.]

O-oi, don't go saying that and not explaining what happened--!! W-what did I do, who brought me here? D-don't--

[Don't treat me like a stupid little kid--!

He clenches his teeth, eyes darting to the ground and kicking at the blanket. This wasn't fair. This wasn't fair...

He spares another glare at the redhead... and his brows furrow tightly. Damn, if this guy didn't look kinda sorta familiar. It was... creepy.

Lips press into a thin frown as Guy holds his gaze steady, flickering with confusion... before letting out a rough, frustrated scoff, leaning back down to pull the blanket off the floor. A hand moves to yank the edge of his shirt back onto his shoulder, struggling to keep it from slipping straight back down again as he works.

Making the bed. Purely habit. But whatever. It was something to do. >__> ]

May 27th

[sacredembers]

((ooc: continued from here!))

[Luke himself clings tightly to Guy's shoulders, and another wave of security comes over him when he leaves the ground. Being completely held by someone he knows and is fond of, not just with the ground supporting him, gives him an extra sense of that person being there and not going away.

Once Guy is balanced and looking around, Luke does too, and he's actually looking for the first time. When he stumbled out of that big building, he'd barely looked at anything, having been too terrified to really examine it. But now with Guy here, he seems to be looking at everything at once.

It's a little overwhelming. He's never seen anything like this before...]

Aaah...

May 27th

[thefirstshallbelast]

It's alright. It's kind of a lot to take in, isn't it...

[The blonde tries to keep his hold on Luke, hoping that he doesn't squirm too much. They just needed to make it back to where they'd been staying before, and then maybe he could come up with a plan for what to do...

A streak of blue catches out of the corner of his eye. Guy can't help but glance up and see what just...

Oh. Hey, it's a bird. A pretty bird, at that - he didn't really recognize it as something from Auldrant.

Huh...]

May 30th

[sacredembers]

((ooc: continued from here!))

[With Guy's fingers still in his mouth, Luke looks up at him with wide, studying eyes, like he just came across something that utterly fascinates his attention span. This isn't the teenager he knows, this is a different person. But... He's still familiar, in a sense. That security and fondness that he felt around his Guy was still there, mulling under the surface of his feelings of fear. It wasn't really the same, but it was something. Something in this unfamiliar world where everything he grew to know and love was gone.

Luke slowly lets Guy's fingers slip out of his mouth as he shifts closer, enough to let his forehead press against Guy's shoulder. Okay. He can trust you. He can feel this sense of security around you. Try not to break it.]

May 30th

[relinquishing]

[He'll certainly try his hardest.

Fingers now free, Guy discreetly wipes his hand against his shirt. He doesn't speak for right now - not until Luke is relaxed. He just keeps that gentle smile steady, pressing the palm of his other hand against the back of Luke's head and holding him against the blonde's shoulder.

One more step.

Gears click as Guy silently lets the boy squirm closer, digging through some pretty old memories - it had been a while since he'd had to do this, after all - but soon enough, he gently leads his head down and becomes to hum.

It's a simple medley - quiet, warm and low. But it's a tune he used when Luke was about this small. It might sound a little odd, hearing it in a different voice. But whether Luke recognized it or not, Guy hoped that the tone of the song itself would keep him calm.]

June 1st

[hairofginger]

((ooc: Continued from here!))

I know. [Haaa, she sounds so exasperated. Leave it to Guy to drill the importance of washing hands into her skull.

Once they get to the kitchen, Luke obediently goes to wash her hands, though she looks none too impressed.]

Oh hey, I'm going to go see Xion after this. Is that okay?

June 1st

[relinquishing]

Xion?

[Well. This would be fun. Did Luke still think that she was in a relationship with Xion...?]

Ah... yeah, that's fine. It's your time, your friends. Not my job to stop you, you know.

[Asking permission and everything. Huh. What, is he your mother or something, Luke?

...

Well, all super-babysitter things aside, of course. 8|]

June 5th

[fabrecation]

((ooc: continued from here!))

[There's that look in his eyes, present even in the eyes of a child.

It feels like someone just jabbed a knife in Luke's stomach and twisted it.

But he refuses to acknowledge it. Instead, he focuses on the boy in front of him, the way he chokes back a sob and hides his face. Right now? This boy needs help far more than he does. He looked so young, so... The Hod disaster must've been recent.

Luke scoots himself back a few feet and stays knelt down, still keeping that gentle smile on his face. First, he wants to make sure that Guy doesn't feel crowded. He wants to be trusted before trying anything else.]

What's your name?

June 5th

[heirofhod]

[An answer doesn't come at first - the boy simply curls back in on himself for a long moment, knuckles white against the fabric of the coat.

Then he finally speaks. It's muffled and quiet - Luke will only barely be able to hear it, what, with the way the blonde's face is still buried into his arms. But it's still a voice.]

...Guy...

May 28th

[sacredembers]

((ooc: continued from here!))

[OH DEAR GOD she's suddenly right in front of him aldfjasdf

The fact that that was so sudden makes Luke let out a cry of alarm and fear before he curls up, arms over his head, face hidden in his knees. Because of that, he barely catches what she asked him. And even then, he doesn't answer. He's too busy wishing she'll go away.]

May 28th

[lostinmyway]

Oh! [Oh dear.

She immediately kneels down in front of him, and...quickly holds out a hand to him. Oops.]

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare you. It's all right. You don't need to be afraid.

May 28th

[sacredembers]

((ooc: continued from here!))

[Luke isn't very good at walking at the moment. He keeps his arms out and places one foot in front of the other, uttering a quiet mantra of "one, two, one, two". But after some wobbly steps, he loses his balance, and he falls forward to the ground.

There's no one he knows who can hear his cries. But he's still frustrated, still scared. So he raises up slightly on his hands and knees, brings a fist up to rub at his eyes, and starts to break down in tears, calling out for whoever he wants to hear him and be there for him.]

Modher! Guy!

May 31st

[seekinglights]

((ooc: continued from here!))

[The new voice makes him glance down at the girl, and his eyebrows raise up. Hey, someone noticed him! Maybe now he'll be saved!]

Hey! [He leans over to wave down at her.] Come on, climb my hair and get me out of here!
