Going On Hiatus

Hi all, I wanted to write this post to state I'm setting myself on hiatus and I'm not necessarily sure when I'll be back. I admit, writing here has been hard even outside of just not getting much for asks or anything. I made 2 replies today but it was difficult to do and took all of my energy, energy I really don't have. I apologize for how sudden this is, but I have been thinking about it for some time and with irl stresses not really relenting... I think its about time.

"Well, of course they're good!" He realizes that his tone might be a bit more annoyed than he intended and so, planting a gentle kiss to their forehead, he says again, "Of course they're good. There is nothing you could give me that I would not love - and it is purely because you thought of me to begin with. Truly, the sweetest gift of all." Emet returns the hug, tightly. The warmth of their embrace makes him feel at ease and he sighs, weighing his head against the elezen's shoulder.

"Alas, I cannot. But I can promise that I will be there whenever or wherever you shall need me, alright?" He pulls away to look down at the man and smiles. "You but only need to call my name and I will answer, my dear. I will answer."

[draikoeques]

Rothalion blinked a little if only for his volume, but cracked a smile quickly the moment a kiss was pressed to his forehead. He giggled, his face heating as he peeked adorably up at him. "Ah, you are ever so sweet... I am pleased that I could hardly make a mistake in giving you gifts. Although, I do think there are things you would not particularly want - so I will avoid those. Like a frog," he teased with another laugh. As Emet-Selch relaxed against him he relaxed in turn, his head tilting to press the gentlest of kisses to his hair. He lifted a hand to caress the back of the other man's head with idle, gentle strokes of his fingers, a relieved sigh falling from lips as he closed his eyes.

When Emet answered, for a brief moment Ro's heart sank a little; so he would inevitably leave again..? But he wasn't done, and the moment the other man pulled back to smile down at him he couldn't help the return of his own smile. "For a moment you had me worried," he murmured, shaking his head. "But, I will keep this in mind. You may just hear my call in the future. I will be cautious with just how much, I assure you... even if I would rather have you with me as much as possible." He dropped his gaze a moment, an ear faintly twitching ere he looked up to meet his eyes again. He stood up on his tiptoes, reaching upward to gently coax Emet down to better reach so he could press a soft, lingering kiss to his lips.

Ah... This was his answer. And it was a lot to hear. He let him live not because of the alliances between nations. He couldn't bring himself to put an end to Zenos anymore. And lastly... out of this strange kinship as Rothalion puts it, he truly wanted a real friendship with him. But there lies a problem with that, Zenos isn't normal. He never will be nor will he ever change that much to become a wandering face among a crowd.

No, people would fear him- step aside or back away in terror at the mere sight of his features. But despite how others would react to his presence, the Warrior of Light would not back away but in fact walk straight towards him. Not even a second thought in his mind or so he likes to believe of course. But still, Zenos did not turn to look back at him all the while.

"You wish to have a... proper relationship?" His voice dare to question the other behind him. How can this even happen anyways? "You dare to dream of me becoming another one of your allies?" This is what he really wanted out of him? Must be wishful thinking as Zenos couldn't help but feel... anger? Would that be the right word for this? Finally he turns around, not at all looking glad to hear all of this.

"Must I remind you who I am?" He questions, a frown placed upon his lips. For the first time, Zenos showed an emotion other then bored, happy or crazy. He looked disappointed at Rothalion's answers. "I am Zenos yae Galvus, former heir to the Garlean Empire. Former general. Murderer of my father..." Finally he takes out his weapon to unsheathe it and pointed it towards the other. "A proper relationship will not suit me."

In other words... he can't be like everyone else.

[draikoeques]

Rothalion had no hope that the other man would answer his call positively, although the tension he could note in his body was somewhat a surprise. Zenos was always a man who froze the air around himself with his apathy, life only seeming to enter his veins when in the midst of ferocious battle. Ro had no belief that the man would change in his solitude, it was evident by prior demands that he had done little more than stew in dissatisfaction at his lingering survival. There was no assumption he would be anything beyond unhappy, although Ro knew not he even had the capacity for rage when even losing his opportunities in the past had lead to little more than an apathetic shrug and further drifting.

To be faced with it now... He wondered if the man had been tipped too far this time.

When Zenos spoke, Rothalion tensed. He leaned forward, eyes narrowed and mouth set in a hard line. Zenos was not necessarily wrong to be angry, but perhaps they did feed off one another as the questions he was directed with next flared irritation right in turn. Perhaps it was his own insecurity? Of course Zenos was abnormal and to be shunned by all others besides Rothalion, but did he truly care how others viewed or reacted to him? The questions seemed to instead judge Rothalion's own wishes, his intelligence. He already had enough trouble convincing himself he wasn't an idiot, but he was indirectly told just that regardless. He wasn't thinking with his brain so much, no, but he didn't think it stupid to wish goodwill on another who has by all measures had it far worse than most throughout his lifetime.

"If you think I ever expected you to simply become 'one of my allies'. You are your own person, you are not the same as them - but that is also why I wanted your companionship at all. I have ever felt there was more similarity between us that none of the Scions or the Alliance could ever understand, but you. You understood me, in all my violence. My rage. They cannot know the true me, I am as much as villain if only on the right side," he retorted, wrinkling his nose.

At his next question, Rothalion flashed a dangerous smile that bordered on a snarl, sharp teeth bared as he took a threatening step forward.

"I know who you are, Zenos viator Galvus. I never forgot." He tilted his chin, his eyes flashing. "Your father deserved it, do not pretend he didn't. Regardless of your intention in his murder, what you did was a positive on the world - a world that would have otherwise crumbled beneath a chemical weapon that only a coward would build."

Ah... ever predictable. He hadn't wanted this to be a fight, but if it need be Rothalion never said anything about being opposed to battle. If Zenos needed to be put in his place, Ro would do it - only to spare him again. Reaching back, he drew his glaive in a single hand and extended the blade towards the much larger man. His head tipped down, that almost manic grin becoming a proper snarl.

"If you will not accept normal friendship, then what is it that you demand instead? I will not grant you death, that is too easy."

Many believe that representing Lust risks little, for the most corrupt may even desire contact with such a demon for an easy thrill. Unfortunately, this demon does not solely represent sexual lust, but equally a lust for power - or blood.

This just in thread where Ro and Emet pine real bad for each other goes from Ro being invited to stay with Emet while his flooded apartment gets repaired and cleaned to accidental first date they internally insist isn't a first date (that's too hopeful) to getting a little tipsy and making out on the couch to confessing feelings to the most loving, intimate sex I have ever written in my life. And oh, it is sooo so good!!!

Oh and there are already plans: Emet is of course making Ro breakfast in the morning<33 Ro is the luckiest man alive LOL.

As Zenos continued to stand there in the jungle, his mind begin to wonder off as to why he continued to seek him out. Besides the obvious answers of his lingering thoughts from mere moments ago, he couldn't help but to still question it all. Is there truly another reason besides him being wanted by nearly all nations at this point? As his ears soon heard of the warrior rushing into his view, Zenos finally did turn around to face him fully.

But even after what Rothalion had spoken, he couldn't really find any words to speak back, at least not right away that is... His blue eyes coming to close, his body somewhat relaxed through his shoulders but he is still very much being alerted to the possibility of others also being nearby them. Did he come alone? Or did others decide to follow close by? He'll find his answer soon enough.

But finally, Zenos open his eyes again to reply back to the hero of this world. "And I assume that I am wanted dead or alive." A pause for only a couple of seconds before he open his mouth again. "Would you rather have me stay in Sharlayan instead?" He didn't really expect an answer to be honest. "Regardless, I highly doubt you wanted me to go back after all this time." Was that a fact or was he secretly hinting that he's not going to come back so willingly?

And then he finally answered his question after another paused moment. "Perhaps I do not wish to see you." He begins to turn away from him now. "Our last encounter was meant to be my last but even you, my friend, decided to halt my death instead... So answer me this, why did you spare my life? Was it something for your personal gain or was it for your allies instead?" Surely there is something more to this, right..? Surely this isn't just a waste of his time, right?

[draikoeques]

Perhaps this was the response he should have expected, but when met with such a statement Rothalion could not help but stop and blink in confusion. Dead or alive..?

Oh.

Rothalion scoffed, shifting his stance and crossing his arms as he shook his head.

"Alive, more like. But I am not fetching you for the Alliance, nor hunting you down to end you myself," he remarked, shrugging. The elezen snorted then at the mention of Sharlayan, taking a casual step aside as if undecided on whether or not he would decide to pace; for now he remained in spot. "Sharlayan? Of course not. Hells, I don't want to remain there any longer than I need to. Of course, 'tis much less tense there than it once was and I get fewer suspicious looks, but the people are still terse and judgemental... I do not take kindly to judgement nor the feelings of inadequacy merely due to my lacking education," he retorted, the hint of a scowl upon his face. He took another step, dropping his arms as he huffed in exasperation.

"No, I came of my own volition for my own goals. If anything the only need to step foot in Sharlayan is merely for the port necessary to travel from."

He shot Zenos a look, lightly furrowing his brow and setting his mouth in a hard line. Ah... That question. Ro hardly had an answer himself, or at least for some time he didn't. A heavy, defeated sigh fell from lips as he slumped his shoulders, glancing away.

"... It was for nobody else... Although you were on my mind, you know, when I made the decision. Although it was death you wanted from our final clash, you spoke as if you were uncertain at the precipice of death. I thought... what if you didn't truly wish to die? I could change that, give you another chance to try something... different. You know, we were a good team when we fought the Endsinger. I was, surprisingly, rather glad to see you when you appeared. I enjoyed fighting alongside you. Initially I thought that, if you had regrets, I could spare you instead... and mayhap we could fight together again, as proper friends," he explained, a frown beginning to tug at his lips. He just barely glanced up, ears drooping.

"... But I will not lie to you either, for the decision was also selfish. I could hope that I had interpreted your words, your dying breath, correctly but... the only thing I knew for certain was that, I didn't want you to go... I didn't want you to leave me, yet. Our relationship has been unorthodox and strange, many think I hate you. I don't. I didn't then, I still don't now. I feel... a strange kinship with you, but empty thinking of your absence. I..." Rothalion bowed his head. For so long he had developed severe abandonment issues and even worse sense of worth, that someone pursued him for any reason was enough to inspire an attachment. An attachment he shouldn't have, that he should have let go.

He couldn't.

"... I am sorry, that I have brought you such suffering. It was not my intention but... it doesn't matter. I admit, I still couldn't put you out of your misery now... I don't have it in me. I haven't had it in me since that day in Ala Mhigo, perhaps the only chance I could have ended your life myself if only for the fact that we, at the time, were little more than faces and weapons to one another. I do not know you so much as I would like, but I know more than I did back then."
