“Cappuccino is what is says.” He lightly tilted head to the side - what an interesting boy. The blond could very clearly read, and could form syllables he had never seen laced together with certain letter formations into words.

“It is a drink that uses espresso - a very caffeinated substance - mixed with foamed milk or cream. I personally prefer milk. You can get it hot or cold, or with flavoring.”

He took out his wallet, did he perhaps pity the man? “Would you like one? Or did you have something else in mind.

{☼}—– "Cappuccino...?" He quietly repeated to himself, eyes fixated on the word that he now knew how to properly pronounce. Though, this didn't make the word any less strange to him. Zeno's attention fell back upon the other as he elaborated on the word. He listened intently to the other, a flicker of awe in his eyes as he offered one to Zeno.

"If mister is offering, Zeno would like one!" A wide child-like grin curled his lips. Not bothering to ask of the flavors they had, or how sweet or bitter the drink was. The most caffeinated drink Zeno's ever had was green tea, so he wasn't entirely sure what to expect, but excited about the surprise. Luckily Zeno didn’t have a delicate pallet and would virtually eat anything, so he was sure he’d enjoy the drink regardless of its taste.

Engine whines as he fidgets with his thumb, still those worried look in one’s eye as he kept his stare. Even if it was a minor injury to the other, it was a huge mistake for him. I mean, the other was bleeding! Once the hand contact with his head did saburo turns his attention back to the individual. The antenna on his head wiggled at the touch he was receiving. “You sure???? Are you sure? Can you regenerate? Does this mean you’re not a human??” He asked, there was only one explanation after all. 

And it was a good thing the other did change the subject, the AI gave a nod to the other’s word, giving a small smile, “Yea! I’m Saburo! Nice to meet you Zeno-san! By the way… What are you doing here in the alleyway?”

{☼}—– Blue eyes widened for a moment as he froze in his tracks-no longer than five seconds. The other’s question had caught the blonde off guard. He’d been told he wasn’t human, and had been called a monster more than once-but this time was different. A soft smile warmed his face, blond messy hair swayed as Zeno shook his head. “Zeno is human! Zeno’s mother use to pick on Zeno because she gained a lot of weight after Zeno was born.” He wasn’t offended, well not too offended--he just wanted to clear up the other’s misunderstanding. “Zeno’s heart still beats just like everyone else’s!” He reached for Saburo’s hand, guiding it to his chest right over his still beating heart. At this point it wasn’t even to prove it to Saburo but to all the others that so hastily called him a monster, and declared he wasn’t human.  He’s long lost count of how many swords had pierced the vital organ, but it was still beating all the same.

“See?” He happily chimed, a wide child-like smile on his face. Finally taking a proper look at the other, blond brows furrowed, “Is Saburo human?” He asked tilting his head. Zeno had never seen anything that wasn’t a dragon or a human so he was very confused.

“It’s nice to meet Saburo too! Ooh, Zeno was tired and couldn’t find the shelter he was given, So Zeno slept on the floor away from people.“ He chuckled rubbing the back of his neck, “But Zeno still managed to get stepped on.” Not even once, but a hand full of times.

His shoulder bumped into another, unused to how crowded coffee shops tended to get when it got colder. He typically avoided coffee and just made his own tea, but sleepless nights called for more extreme measures.

“Excuse me,”

Was it just him, or was that boy staring at the board. Perhaps he was missing his glasses, or he was illiterate. “Did you need help?” He mentally slapped himself - this was none of his business.

{☼}—– Zeno wasn’t sure how long he had been staring at the chalk board in the little shop, but it was long enough for the once slow paced shop to grow crowded. He initially came to the shop for sweets, allured by the sweet smell of baked goods, but quickly forgot about his appetite when he was faced with all the strange words written down. It was odd in itself that he was familiar with characters he’d never seen in his life, but the words on the board where an entire other mystery.

He was snapped out of his daze when the other’s shoulder bumped into his. Zeno looked at the stranger with an utterly clueless look on his face. Wild blonde hair bounded as he nodded intently at the other. “ Yes...!“ What luck, maybe this nice man could help Zeno! His eyes turned back to the board as he pointed at the word cappuccino. “Zeno doesn't know what that says....” His brows furrowed. “Kapp-oo-sin-o?..Kaap-u-cee-no?. . . Kap-oo-key-...no?”

“Your land sure has a great birth story, Kingdoms such as those must always share their stories- their lore. Be the case they….fall into ruin, their word would live on…”

She pokes her head inside many huts to see one that would fit Zeno, until she found one- as cozy as these could be and without as many puddles around it. Really close to hers, too.

“Keep your stories close to your heart, cherish them. After all, you know what happens to those who forget.”

They are doomed to repeat their history.

“But I digress, I believe this is a good home for you.”

{☼}—– Zeno nodded sheepishly. He couldn’t remember the last time he’d relayed the story of the Kouka kingdom to another. It was was nice to tell it to a curious audience, even if it would only reach Ida’s ears. It warmed his heart to tell it. The dragons-his brothers. He’d loved them dearly, and they him. Telling their story helped him feel closer to them again.

He nodded to Ida’s words of caution. She was very much right, especially at the rate the kingdom seemed to be going. “Zeno doesn’t usually like telling this story...It use to hurt thinking about it, but lately it doesn't hurt as much.” That was likely due to the reunion of his dragon brothers and the reappearance of his beloved Hiryuu.

Blue eyes fluttered as he took a peak inside his new home. He looked around the small space in awe “This is Zeno’s new home?” There was excitment behind his eyes, it wasn’t like Kaya’s house, but it was his house.

{☼}—– Trying to figure out what a bathbomb is, but doesn't want to ask because the everyone’s talking about it he feels like he should already know.

“A kingdom is nothing without it’s people, there’s no kingdom without them after all.” They had walked all the way back to the housing area, the little huts stacked side by side, Ida was walking on her tiptoes due to the toxic waste all around. Maker, she couldn’t wait to get out of here- recover the sacred geometry and—

sigh

“Could you tell me more about it?”

{☼}—– It wasn’t hard for Zeno to realize Ida longed to returned to her home-he was positive most wanted to return. So with a soft smile and a nod of his head he agreed. 

“A loooong time ago, the Red Dragon Deity who descended from the heavens and took the form of a human to rule a kingdom on Earth. Hiryuu was really warm, and kind. He was like the sun. When the kingdom fell into ruins, King Hiryuu was taken captive by humans who desired power, and just as everything seemed to be on the brink of destruction, the four Dragons came down from the heavens to assist him. The dragons tried to convince King Hiryuu that they should destroy all the humans as punishment for losing their faith in the Gods then return to heaven. But King Hiryuu rejected them. Even when the humans turned against him and were about to kill him, he couldn’t help but loved them. The Dragons respected his decision but couldn’t bear to lose him. The dragons loved Hiryuu so they gave their blood and granted their power to four human warriors and told them they were to protect and never betray Hiryuu, and to stay with him to the end. So the four Dragons were made-Hakuryuu, Seiryuu, Ryokuryuu and Ouryuu. When the Kingdom finally found peace, the Red Dragon in Hiryuu got sleepy, took a nap and died.” An almost pained smile made his way to his lips. Zeno wasn’t sure how long it’d been since he shared this story. “ After mourning the death of their beloved Hiryuu, the four Dragons left the capital and walked separate paths forming and leading 4 different tribes until their death. The tribes continued to develop on their own into the five tribes in the kingdom today. The Fire, Wind, Earth, Water, and Sky tribes.” 

The blond wasn’t entirely sure why Ida was so cautious with her footing until he stepped in something that sent a tingle emitting from his ankle then quickly shooting up his thigh. The sensation earned a quick scrunch of his nose before be bent down to rub what even it was that splashed onto his ankle was.

“I believe it’s only an odd chant, maybe there'a a cult of sorts?”

{☼}—– “Why would someone come up with such a scary chant? Zeno thought his heart was gonna stop...!” 

[goldenxshield-blog]

{☼}—– “What is Zeno watching out for?”

☠ The demon though that it was just good idea to scare him off but suddenly she just stare at him in silence and blankly. Heaven? friends? It is confusing for her. Cranber blinked confusingly as she is called a pretty lady that cares for his safety. She never did care yet what he just said kind of made her stop of saying anything bad to him.

She tilts her head and kept staring “Banana boy are your friends in heaven?” she asked “I think your friends over there would prefer for you find a much better place.” says Cranber “There are lots of evil people here even if you didn’t do anything bad to them they will come after you and kill you. Get somewhere else to sleep.” Cranber flicks his forehead and just sighed not believe that she have to care for a human boy.

{☼}—– Zeno was just about ready to correct the other, his friends were very much alive the last time he’d seen them. They were all enjoying a nice meal prepared by Yoon with the assistance of Zeno. He was going to clear up the misunderstanding--then he remembered the original dragon warriors, his beloved king, his late wife. His eyes moved once more from the pinkette back to the night sky. Zeno didn’t recognize any of the constellations, and if he were being honest that terrified him. The familiar sky that he knew so well, the sky that he use to watched with his brothers, his king, his wife-his family. It was gone. Though he’d never let that show, or even speak of it for that matter. His chest felt heavy, it was a all too familiar weight. The feeling when he felt Gu-En’s life force disappear, and the realization that he failed to keep his promise to his brother....

It was the flick to his forehead that snapped him out of his trance. His eyes widened as his gaze fell back to her, rubbing his forehead in a confused momentary daze. He had nearly forgotten the other was standing beside him, that they were in the middle of having a conversation. Her words came to a surprise to him as well. A light chuckle soon turned to laughs. “You might be right miss, thank you.” Zeno wasn’t actually too sure himself though. What they might want, what they might think if they saw Zeno now. But he knew what The current dragons would want, Hak, Yoon, and Yona- all of them. 

“And before Zeno forget his friends are still alive. Please don’t kill off Zeno’s friends so easily, you’ll scare me. Zeno just meant he wanted to look at the stars with them like Zeno usually does.” That’s right, his family were vary much alive, and he’d nearly forgotten.

Once realizing what just happened did the AI freaked out, the blood stain on one’s clothes already explained it all. He did bad. Lips quivered as he got to both his knee, “Gomenasai!! Gomenasai!! I didn’t mean to hurt you!!! Does it hurt?! I will take you to the doctor-san!” His body was shaking as if he was a small child, he really didn’t mean to hurt anyone. “Saburo did bad! I’m sorry!! Please, let me take you to see Doctor-san!” Eyes only glance over at the individual, a worried expression finds its way over to his face. 

{☼}—– Zeno’s attention fell back on the other, who was now frantic about Zeno’s minor injury and now kneeling on the floor. There was a tightness in his chest as the sight of the other. The fussing was fine for a moment but this was different. He didn’t like this, he felt bad. Slowly, Zeno got to his feet and walked up to the distressed individual. His hand reached out to pat their head in an attempt to comfort and reassure them that he was fine. “It’s okay, It’s okay~.” He chimed before kneeling before them with a wide smile. “Zeno’s body is strong and heals fast! By the time Zeno would reach a doctor his body would be good as new~.” There was still a dull pain in his side, and he wasn’t sure if that statement was actually true, but it was nothing Zeno couldn’t handle.

Changing the subject so get the taller one less frantic, Zeno popped the question, “Is your name Saburo? I’m Zeno!” He happily introduced himself, as though he hadn't same his name several times already.

☠ “Yes, children will surely use you as a toy if you oversleep but isn’t it better to stop there than on a hard cold floor? Its better over there than getting step on.” 

Obviously the banana boy didn’t remember something, there are lots of evil people who can take advantage of him sleeping. Cranber is one of them but she will have to spare this one.

“Hey, hey~” she said getting closer, being face to face with the boy “There are lots of bad people outside also, if they see you sleeping on the tree they may burn you! and if you sleep on the floor they may get you! Why don’t you sleep in the tunnels~? it is better there!” of course that’s a lie, it is dark and cold. Worse thing is that she’s there in the dark and she could get him anytime.

{☼}—– Zeno stopped for a moment, his brows furrowing in thought. Why would someone burn down a tree to get to him? Zeno hadn’t done wrong by anyone in this place so why would someone want to do him harm? He’d never seen such or heard of such random malice for the sake to harm to an innocent bystander. 

“But why would people want to burn Zeno? Zeno hasn’t done anything wrong.” A smile curled his lips as he looked at the other, “It makes Zeno happy that such a pretty lady cares so much for his safety, but Zeno want’s to sleep under the stars.” The blond turned his gaze to the sky pointed up. “Zeno is sure everyone else is looking up to the heavens. It may not be the same sky, but it’s as close as Zeno’s going to get to them.” The blond had his mind made it. He was truly grateful that someone cared about his safety, but the outdoors was the only way Zeno felt close to his friends.

As Ida walked to the housing quarters her mind wandered back to the valley and the stories it carried, it’s large and impossible moving architecture, the people that once were there. “It is a wonderful place, filled with towering monuments that move in incredible ways powered entirely by a force too strong to understand- even I am not completely sure how it works…”

She looks out in the distance, wistfully.

that isn’t the whole story.

“Anyway, you said you came from the Kouka kingdom, did you not?”

{☼}—– Zeno listened intently, in near awe as Ida spoke, thought she only spoke of her land for a short time, he almost couldn’t believe that she came from a place with moving structures. It sounded amazing. “Thank you.” 

A warm smile curled his lips as he looked a head, nodding at her question. “Yea, It’s a vast Kingdom, with amazing people.” Traveling along with Yona and everyone, Zeno got to see so much more the the kingdom than he ever had along. The kingdom was truly amazing--she was truly amazing.

As the other moved out of their initial spot, Kusuke clicked his tongue. Well that’s no fun, but it is somewhat fair with what he was planning to do.

Muttering an answer under his breath, he looked down the other. As if he never noticed them lying on the floor, he stared at them for a moment before speaking, “… Is there a reason you’re cleaning the floor that way?“ 

{☼}—– It was strange that the other didn’t answer his question, or did he and Zeno couldn’t hear it? “Zeno couldn’t hear you, could you repeat yourself?” He asked looking up at the other from the floor. A blank confused expression painted his face as he tilted his head. What a strange question, “Zeno’s not cleaning the floor. Zeno was sleeping on the floor.” The blond made to correct the previous misconception.

Ida was most worried about how was everything in the Valley, but Zeno was lively and happy during most of their conversation- it helped her forget. What a nice distraction.

His introduction was nothing but a formality at this point but still a very well received one. She bows her head slightly.

“I’m Princess Ida of the Crow People, caretaker of the Valley of Men.” what a formal introduction. “but now that that’s out of the way, let’s go find yourself a place to stay.”

 {☼}—– “A Princess?! No wonder you’re so nice and warm! You reminded Zeno of Yona! She’s a princess to.” And now Zeno has come to the conclusion that all princess are nice, and wonderful people. Zeno happily nodded and followed after Ida. “Yah!” He was far too excited excited to visit the housing, but you couldn’t blame the blonde, it had been years since he had an actual stationary place to call home. 

“The Valley of Men, what’s it like? It sounds nice.” Every valley in the Kouka Kingdom that Zeno visited looked similar if not identical. When you’ve seen one you’ve seen them all. But the Valley of Men sounded intriguing.

He was just coming back from his daily job, much like usual, and usually, he would use the rooftops to transport around the city. It was much more simple and less complicated than walking among the city grounds. That is until he lands in the alleyway, feeling something squishy underneath him speaking. The Ninja perks up as he slowly gets off the stranger.

“HU?” He looks down, “AH!! Gomenasai!! Are you hurt??? I hope so!! Why are you doing on the ground?? Do you need to go to the hospital?!”

 {☼}—– Slowly sitting up, Zeno watched the other’s stunned reaction with a slightly confused but very touched expression. It wasn’t often that others would fuss over his well being, it was nice. “ Zeno’s okay Mister-” Blue eyes widened for a moment before he turned and coughed into the bend of, light speckles of blood dotting his sleeve.”Ahh, Zeno must have punctured something?” Brows furrowed as his hand moved over to his side, his regeneration ability was acting slower than normal? Was it because he was so far from the kingdom? Zeno lost himself in thought, lips pursed to the side with knitted brows.

“What’s your housing? Do you remember?” Sleeping outside is a bit dangerous, especially where you sleep. Sector 003, 2, and another are dangerous. You have wolves, the people, and other things. “I can show you the way if you want. Probably would be better to sleep in the place they provided you with so you won’t have to get stepped on or trip someone.”

{☼}—– Blue eyes brightened as a jubilant smile curled at his lips, lighting up his entire face. “You’d help Zeno even after he fell on top of you while you were resting??” The scruffy little blond was so incredibly moved by the other’s words. Even if it was just common courtesy, or the other taking pity on poor lost little Zeno. Whatever the reason, Zeno was grateful and elated. “Zeno remembers something abo--”

Zeno paused mid-sentence, seemingly caught in thought. He took a moment to look down, only now realizing he was still seated on the other’s back. There was a blank, almost dumbfounded look plaster on his face until his cheeks dusted red with embarrassment as he realized he was still seated on the other’s large back. ”Zeno’s still sitting on you!” He hurried to get off the dragon’s back, only to missing his footing and belly flop onto the floor. “Zeno forgot to introduce himself too. I’m Zeno.” He offered the other a goofy little warm smile as he picked up his head.

[goldenxshield-blog]

  {☼}—– It suddenly seems there was more to worry about when sleeping on the floor other then the fear of getting stepped on....
