“Not so much anymore. But I’d like to keep looking even if it is pointless.” There was once little reason for him to take his own well being into consideration. But since having a hellion of all beings seeming to be bothered on the fact… Well he thought it best to keep that in mind.

“Really now?” Well that was a surprise. That’s for sure. “My fault huh?” He tried not to laugh on the comment really… Yet even then the next words the hellion mentioned had him almost shocked. How was he to really reply to that?

“Can’t say that’s what I expected to hear from you Kid. I was expecting a few more jabs or something.” He let out a chuckle as he rubbed the back of his neck. “Quitting the whole hellion thing? It’d be that easy for you?” Looking over his shoulder as if hearing something from behind him, the seraph thought for another moment.

“I suppose a change isn’t a bad thing.”

“!!”

Lunarre could hardly believe his ears. The crazy old seraph had accepted! The shock made the insanity of his own words hit home. Could Lunarre ever be human again? He had killed the foolish boy he once was - at least, he thought he had.

If Gramps can do it, he thought, then I...

“I...”

Suddenly the sensation of a foot over the edge, feeling air, struck terror into the heart of the hellion. The terror of casting oneself into the abyss, the helplessness of seeking care, the agony of falling when none was found.

Balgair’s mocking laugh, his boss’s cold eyes; both as clear as the day they had broke his heart.

No. Gramps had no reason to keep me around, Lunarre told himself, he’s not like them!

If anything, Lunarre had been a constant obstacle to the seraph, thwarting his self-destructive efforts. It made more sense for the seraph to have gotten rid of him long ago. The purity that emitted from the seraph was genuine. He felt that, was drawn to it, and yet...

In the grip of terror and pain, Lunarre said: “No, it won’t be that easy. I don’t even know if it’s possible anymore.”

He bit his lip.

“I killed the stupid kid I was - yet here I am, askin’ you to be with me like a lost kid! Some hellion I am. Even like this, I can’t be alone. I need somebody. When I’m with you, Gramps, I remember people I hate. People who took me in and threw me away. I remember them because I’m afraid you’ll be like them. After all this time, I feel like it’s a good thing to wake up in the morning. I feel it. You give a damn. You really give a damn. I can’t believe it - it’s too good to be true! I won’t be fooled again!”

His voice, rising to a shout, subsided, along with the fire that had flared out. Breathing out, Lunarre spoke again, his voice catching.

“But that said... I can’t leave you alone and go on like nothing happened. You’ve got under my skin. It pisses me off. I can’t ignore it. I can’t stop it. I don’t know what to do.”

Throwing himself down on the ground, Lunarre slammed a fist into the dirt.

“Damnit! I don’t know what to do!”

Lunarre: Hey Gramps, say ‘damn’!

Kimuri: Poppycock.

Lunarre: FUCKING -

I recalled Muri is the type of guy to still use old terms with speaking at times-

But mostly he’s the guy that would say “good golly” and not think it’s past it’s use.

He didn’t expect that reaction when he accepted the offer and yet…. Maybe it was a good thing for the hellion. He bottled up his emotions for so long it seemed. To finally get out of his system…. Well, he thought that was a first step forward.

Slipping his hands into his pockets he waited for the other to calm down as he finally took a step closer. “You say it won’t be easy but yet it feels like you took a step in the right direction, Lunarre.” How long has it been since he actually said the hellion’s name?

He wasn’t sure.

“We all kill a part of ourselves at least once I feel. I believe I did so a long time ago… before I was what I am now.” What was he before a seraph? He still couldn’t reach those memories. “But we still keep a fragment in the end I believe. That, I think counts for something.”

Making his way over he knelt down before Lunarre, moving to place a hand carefully on his shoulder. A soft smile showing on his face. ”You are no stupid kid. And you’re right, pardon my language with this. But I really do give a damn. You do’t even know how it gets to me there might be a chance of me wandering and not running into you again cause you landed up killed somehow. I always take those run ins we have with joy because I’m glad you are still alive.“

It was odd for a seraph to say wasn’t it? Then he was a rather odd person from how the other talked on him.

Moving to sit beside the other he looked to the sky. ”Honestly. I doubt my vision will ever return. One day these colors I see will be no more and it’ll all be a pitch black void. I can still use the temperature around me to help me navigate but it won’t help on missing things that you can only see with the naked eye… Even then I see things you can’t see with the naked eye.“ He let out a laugh as he rested a hand on his back.

”Take things one step at a time, Lunarre. Change is not something that will happen in a blink of an eye. It’s a series of obstacles  and challenges. But… you don’t need to go them alone. I’ll help out when needed. After all it’s not something you can always do on your own. So let’s help each other out as time goes on, alright?“ Looking to him with a smile he let out a chuckle.

“I’m up for giving a hug if you need one you know. I’m glad to see you’re not bottling this all in. I’m sure it’s nice to finally get it out too.”

Lunarre grit his teeth. He had never spilled his guts to anyone like this before. Not Balgair, the man who raised him, nor Rose, the girl to whose family he once thought he belonged. Kimuri was different, but Lunarre still felt exposed. He kept his face in his hands, huddled and silent. 

The hellion bit his lip when he heard his name. The name ‘Lunarre’ meant ‘fox’, as did ‘Balgair’, the man who had given it to him. Balgair had raised a fox, someone to be as quick and wily as him. A thief, a miniature money-spinner. If it had been anyone else, it would have sounded bitter, but Kimuri was different. He spoke his name with love.

Tears pricked his eyes and Lunarre cursed himself. Even now he couldn’t bring himself to truly believe the seraph’s love for him. He wanted to, gods he wanted to. Perhaps this was the change the old fart was talking about. Maybe if he stuck by Kimuri’s side, leading him through darkness, Lunarre would change. It might take a hundred years or more, but Lunarre was willing. The ache of loneliness subsided when he was around the seraph, like it had for a time with the Scattered Bones.

This time, surely...

Deep down Lunarre had known his efforts to save the seraph’s sight was in vain, but hearing the truth from Kimuri’s mouth cut him. In that moment he knew he couldn’t leave the seraph alone, even if hurt.

So in the end it was all useless, huh...?

The offer of a hug made him tense up. The hand on his back had already made him twitch. He wasn’t used to it. He distrusted it instinctively. This was Kimuri, however. Kimuri was different. The hellion’s shoulders relaxed a little, inviting further touch. In truth, he wanted it. He needed it, now of all times.

A familiar grinning face with glowing amber eyes peered out at the seraph from the darkness.

“Why, if it isn’t the water brat. Long time, eh~?” His mouth showed all his teeth. “Let’s play again.”
