He put his head in his hands and just shook it. These arguments just got more heated everyday. He thought getting this job with Rossiu, after building the city, would make them closer. It seemed to only be tearing them further and further apart. Was Simon making all the wrong choices here? Had his brother picked a bad person to lead humanity and Team Dai Gurren?  All this anxiety was building inside and his mind kept going to darker places after their exchange of words.

That is…until…he heard a familiar voice.

 As soon he looked up to see Kiyal on the other side of the door frame, he tried to play it cool and compose himself. The male propped up his feet on his desk and put his arms behind his head.  “What? Rossiu? He is just upset getting upset with me over some trivial stuff, ya know political stuff.” He wasn’t buying his vague explanation and attempt at feeling well. However, he didn’t wanna bother Kiyal too much with his issues. Besides, she always makes him feel better, Kiyal just brought a certain vibe and energy to the room he couldn’t quite explain. “Though, I’m sure that’s not why you’re here! Come on, while I’m on break anyways! Sit down, and relax with me. I could use a more calm conversation.” He laughed trying to lighten the mood, inviting her in to talk about anything she wanted to. Simon desperately wanted to switch topics, no matter how awkward it seemed.

The closeness she and Simon had developed over the years helped in a number of ways.  She knew him better than most people- plenty well enough to tell when he was putting on a front, hiding his troubles with a lighthearted attitude and leaving his misgivings to gather dust on the wayside.  He never wanted to burden anyone with his emotions, but she'd always talk some sense back into him with that feisty attitude she was so quick to brandish.  Perhaps it was a bit too close to how...how Kamina did things, but something told her he appreciated the spirit she brought in that way.

Of course, that same something told her this wasn't the time for that.  Meeting his feigned enthusiasm with a smile that flickered across her face before the frown returned, she walked into the office, letting the door close behind her as she took a seat.  She took a deep breath, ensuring she would be calm and honest enough to get through that façade. "I need to know you'll be okay, Simon," she told him, hand sliding across the desk as though she were reaching out to him.  "That you won't let Rossiu get to you!  You know I won't let you leave me out in the cold without SOME assurance that you're holding together."

Time has passed since his brother’s death, and Team Dai Gurren has changed since that day. Though some things never seemed to change, and Simon was a living testament to that. The boy tried to still live up to the leader always dreamed for him, and follow his teachings. Simon used to blindly follow those words of wisdom, but times have changed all the same. The young digger tried to adapt, and it’s been a tough road. People still often question if he will be a good leader, though some keep that faith Kamina left behind for him. Unfortunately, Simon still coops himself in his room most of the time, trying to forget this new reality he is forced to face.

 Lunch time came around for the crew on deck and his stomach was groaning. He rolled around in bed, with Boota looking him in the eye. “I know, I know..I need to eat to keep up my strength and pilot Lagann. I just hate going out to the mess hall.” Simon reluctantly jumped out with Boota right behind him. The noise of a bustling crowd of people overwhelmed him aa bit once he left the silent sound proof room. He sighed as he made his way to the lunch room. Once inside he noticed the Bachika family at a table, and they were the loudest of the bunch it seemed. That wasn’t the uncommon thing, it was more what they were talking about that caught Simon’s attention.

Things HAD changed since Kamina's death.  As much as Kittan had been determined to take up the reins of leader, the spirits of the team still were dampened in the wake of their loss.  Even after Simon took the position, things still felt like even more of an uphill battle than before.  They'd need all the might they could rouse if they were to take on the Beastmen.  This fact was something Kiyal recognized.

Her desire to help remedy it, however, would not go without resistance. 

 "I'm not just some dumb kid, Kittan!" the youngest sibling bolted up from the lunch table, stamping her foot on the ground.  Her eyes were blazing, locked on her brother sitting across from her.  "I can learn how to pilot a Gunman!" 

"It's not learning that's the problem!" Kittan fired back, leaning forward to match her glare.  "It's that I ain't letting my baby sister throw herself on the front lines!  You don't have that kind of experience!" "Oh, but you had SO much experience with a Gunman when you took yours!  Now that you actually have it, you can pass it on to me!"  "Well, I'm not doin' it.  I won't let you get in the way in the battle." "GET IN THE WAY?!"

 By this point Kiyal had practically lunged across the table, only stopped by her older sisters holding her back.  "Kiyal, you don't need to attack him over this!" Kiyoh scolded, though a glare was tossed toward Kittan.  "Even if I DO think you should get more of a say in the matter..."  “He just doesn't want you getting put into danger," Kinon added, her grip just as forceful as the older blonde's, surprisingly enough.  "You two were always so close...none of us want to lose you..."

Kiyal's struggling against her sisters' grip had stopped, though she did pull her arms away quite roughly when the grip slackened.  Tears pricked up in the corners of her eyes.  "But we can still lose him?" she spat, voice bordering on harsh and heartbroken.  In the midst of the silence her question caused, both within and outside her table, Kiyal spun on her heel to storm out of the cafeteria.  She'd pass by Simon on the way, though she'd hardly spare him a glance in her distressed exit.

Well, things had gone pretty well with her family.  Kiyoh had been fully on-board, Kinon, while hesitant, thought it would be exciting for her, and while Kittan acted annoyed that she might be leaving(though still clearly emotional about it), he wanted her to go through with it too.  Even so, there was one more opinion she sought on the matter- one more person she wanted to talk to just to make sure he thought it was a smart move.  She’d become pretty close with Simon over the years, and though she didn’t get to see him a lot because of his big political duties, she still made any attempt she could to drop in on him and catch up, see how he was.  This wasn’t quite the same, as she sought him for a specific reason, but it would still be good to see him again.

As she approached his office, however, the faint sound of yelling was made evident, even through the walls.  She picked up the pace a bit to see if she could make it in on time to see what the trouble was, but the door swinging open would prove she was all too late.  And, of course, who should come storming out but Rossiu, a deeply frustrated expression set deep into that brow of his.  Once he passed she took a couple of steps after him, quickly deciding afterward that anything dealing with him wasn’t worth it.  Back to what she came here for.  Clapping her hands on her cheeks, she spun around and hurried up to the door, letting herself in in a much less violent answer than Rossiu had gone the other way.  Her eyes quickly sought out the man she’d came here for, jerking a thumb back in the direction of the hallway.

“What’s his problem anyway?  ...Wait, I meant to ask what he’s so peeved about.  Answering what his problem is would probably take too long.”

Kiyoh: (about Rossiu and Kinon) They're like Romeo and Juliet, aren't they?

Kiyal: If Romeo was a twat.

Maybe I’ll ink and color this later.  In the meantime, have a modern Kiyal sketch.

@drillcommander :

  “I totally understand. Moving can be hard on anyone, especially when times are tough on students like they are nowadays. I know I was in you shoes when I first moved to this dorm from my brother’s place. I was so scared that it wasn’t gonna work out, but here I am!” He remarked in an optimistic upbeat tone. “I’m really glad that I can make you feel more comfortable though. To be honest, I was nervous about the chemistry I was going to have with my roommate, but I can tell we’ll get along just fine.” 

 “Kittan? Too much to handle? What a shock!” He retorted with sarcasm oozing from his tone of voice. “I could never imagine living with him. The guy literally chased me with an obviously used fleshlight, because I brought up anime. I had to burst through the window to escape, it was a weird Sunday afternoon.” Simon recalled as he shook his head in disgust. “Don’t worry though, about me snoring. The worst I do during my sleep is drool, and that only effects me.” 

 Simon listened to Kiyal’s answer, and it seemed to be the icing on the cake to getting a roommate. It turned out he was all too familiar with who Kiyal really was. “Oh yeah, I thought I recognized your voice! I’m subscribed to you actually, you do all those cover songs of like video game, anime, and I think Kpop music to., if I’m right. I was wondering why you weren’t uploading as much as you used to. You were too busy finding a dorm and moving!”

“No kidding?  I guess I never really thought that whoever I’d be moving it may’ve gone through the same thing as me.  Guess it really did work out for you!”  The optimism he spoke with was nearly contagious, as she found herself brightening up even more about the situation than she already had.  “I can see it too!  It kinda makes me wish I’d been more excited about it from the get-go since it wasn’t even worth worrying about.”

“Oh god.”  It was uttered nearly-silently, in a tone as grim as death itself, her expression one of someone who was all-too-familiar with the horrors her poor roommate had been exposed to.  “I don’t know what’s worse- the fact that he even did that, or the fact that I know exactly the fleshlight he probably did it with.  Let me tell you firsthand- knowing the exact appearance, condition, and name of her brother’s sex toys is NOT good for a girl’s mental and emotional health.  Either way, I am so...so sorry.”  Kiyal shook her head as well, shuddering in fear and disgust.  “Eh, it might affect anyone you’re sleeping with too.  But hey, long as it doesn’t wind up in my bed, I think we’ll be alright on that front.”

After reliving one of several traumatic experiences she’d had whilst living under Kittan’s roof, nothing could be more of a relief to her than hearing that her roommate had known about her channel before!  “Wow, that’s right!  Holy crap, I never even considered that my roommate might have heard of the channel before!  I know I’m not one of the biggest cover singers out there, but...that’s awesome!  Guess I don’t have to explain why you might sometimes hear me singing over in my room, huh?”

@spiralxhime

Before she’d found Kinon, Kiyal had done her best to try and get a good handle on the layout of Dai-Gunzan.  Searches for any descriptions of its interior layout had failed her prior to boarding.  Seemed like anybody who went aboard never came off alive- something she planned to change with her sister.  In any case, she still needed to figure out what was where.  Should she wind up being found somewhere she shouldn’t be, it probably wouldn’t go over well.

Silently she wandered through the cold hallways, ever observant as to where she had been and what was where.  Her years spent roaming the surface had made her skilled at getting the lay of the land, and it was that much easier with an interior structure that never changed.  Hopefully she wouldn’t wind up bumping into somebody important- a character wearing an obscuring hood and scarf on their face would probably be cause for concern.
