" because ? " he watches stance loosen. honestly, it felt as if the prince was upset, if phainon knew any better. a quiet silence in that. 'should you all know me that well? see me that well? ' as always, that's kept to himself.

" no, it's...not strange at all. i also pride myself on knowing you and everyone else as best i can. and if not, to strive further. on this journey of the flame-chase, the more i know, perhaps the more i can be of use. and..." because everyone is precious to me. " ....well, what other reason? what point is a dawn without protecting what's important ? "

oathanatos

Is he upset? Honestly, he's not that sure he isn't. But if he was, why? He never got riled up over things like this. Yet his chest feels a little tighter, his mood a little darker. Gold eyes shut for a moment as he tries to quiet the start of another internal frenzy of thought.

"Yes, that is all the reason one needs." But what good is a dawn if there is no one there to enjoy the rising sun? He shifts slightly and still has yet to bring his gaze back to the other. "My apologizes. I'm not entirely sure what came over me." He bites the inside of his lip before continuing. "Just... don't push yourself too hard in your quest for knowledge."

" . . . why is winning this so important to you? enough to even argue and lose your composure, mydei ? is knowing all of it so important ? " in the scheme of things it's only me.

oathanatos

"Because-!"

He goes quiet. The rigid posture he had unknowingly adopted is forcibly loosened. "...because, perhaps I like to think that I know you best Deliverer. I pride myself on knowing my companions well. Is that so strange?" It is because it's you that it's important.

#Crack ⇌ 𝐘𝐨𝐮'𝐫𝐞 𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐚 𝐬𝐚𝐝𝐛𝐨𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐮𝐩 𝐢𝐧 𝐦𝐲 𝐛𝐚𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞.#but is it really crack anymore

katakaios

" mydeimos. let me phrase it differently, then. " his lips curl into a smirk. " you got an eight out of ten. unless you're going to rig the test and call it a better result, that's your result. or are we going to argue on the ethics of if we should cheat. is that too, part of warfare? "

oathanatos

Oh. Thems fighting words Deliverer. "No."

"Besides I have yet to see anyone score higher than me anyway. Clearly, I'm the winner regardless of whether it is a perfect score or not."

" don't you value fairness above all else ? then isn't accepting your results, also fair ? it seems you still have more to learn about me. of course, if that proves too difficult... "

oathanatos

"Fairness means nothing in a battle of wits. I thought you, debate champion ten times running, should know that. Seems you have more to learn about warfare."

" now, now, an answer is an answer. could it be the great mydeimos the undying doesn't know me as well as he thought he did ? "

oathanatos

See this? His arms are crossed.

You know what that means Phainon.

katakaios

Time doesn't slow down or stop just because the day is one worth noting. The Flame Chase doesn't pause for the sake of anything, they all know this well. Every day could be their last with the Black Tide being absolutely relentless and the reminder of their limited time constantly hanging above their heads.

But maybe it is because of all that, that some still choose to celebrate in whatever way they can. Even if they aren't entirely sure what counts as a good celebration by Okheman standards.

They had agreed to meet at their usual rooftop after their missions for the day were done. Far from unusual for them and no one batted an eye at seeing Mydei, who had arrived slightly ahead of schedule, carrying a few items up to the roof.

And when Phainon arrived, he would see Mydei standing there, somewhat nervously, if the way his hands refused to relax at his side and instead playing with the fabric of his clothes was to be believed, he would find a blanket laid out upon the roof tiles and a small basket upon it.

"Deliverer-" He stops himself, shaking his head as if unsatisfied with his words. "Phainon. I... I don't know if this is really worthy of being called a present but... I thought maybe we for today we could just sit and-" This isn't meant to be this hard. He feels stupid and his chest is fluttering like it houses butterflies. But no, no he will get through this.

He takes a breath before continuing. "There's... those snacks you like so much in the basket. I made them earlier today so they're fresh." His gaze flickers to the side, mouth thinning into a line and a faint color starting to bloom on his cheeks. "...Happy birthday."

phainon's birthday / @oathanatos

all throughout the day, hushed whispers followed the deliverer of amphoreus. nothing new, per say, but with more intensity than phainon recalled. knowing smiles and hushed murmurs. fond touches from familiar faces he'd offered help in some way or another. be it running errands, to helping look after a shop, nothing was amiss. even to those who were lost, be it from the black tide or their own uncertainty towards the future. their sorrow, their fear.

it was an active choice phainon kept every day. to do these things not just as aglaea's heir, not as a chrysos heir on the flame-chase, but because the unspoken secret in his heart was how deeply he saw himself in the people of amphoreus. of okhema. of every named and withered land that would not bloom again. because he knew how it felt. it felt like the least he truly could do.

there was also something else he needed to do.

it wouldn't be long before he reached his destination, but hasty strides were made all the same. phainon hadn't realized how stiff he'd been sitting all that time at dawncloud. listening to the council of elders, particularly a certain elder, navigating why the flame-chase was so necessary. one couldn't forget his new moniker of 'aglaea's errand boy'. a small chuckle escaped into the air at that. now all that was left to do was head to a certain familiar spot.

" mydeimos! " the rooftop in view, he made no mentions of hurrying to the spot. or the slight hitch in his voice as he called the prince's name. it wasn't as if he hurried! " made it on time, i see ! " a grin is flashed to his rival, all too earnestly taking steps towards him and peering curiously over his shoulder. " hm ? what's all this, mydei ? " not too long asking did he notice the prince...not really speaking. if anything his posture was unusually tense, expression flustered and..red?

" it's not often you say my name instead of 'deliverer' , " he quips, shortlived as he notices how much the man is struggling. keen as he is in part, to tease him further, mydeimos' discomfort is plain. the blanket, the carefully laid basket.... a present ?

" wait is...this for me ? my...birthday? " after hearing his words, it comes out like a baffled boy being offered an extravagant gift. it's the same effect, comically silenced and blue eyes wide in his face. it's short lived, and as always, the sun keeps shining.

" wait you made those snacks kyros kept making for me? how'd you -- wait you did this ? "

the smile is proof enough of the prince's intended effect. bright, unabashed, and earnest. said brightness touches much the way sunlight does, and it's no different as phainon all too eagerly seats himself down. " then, if it's my birthday....we should eat these, shouldn't we, mydei? you and me. and oh, the others too! they'd love these. " with that cheerful look on his face, and a slight pink to his cheeks, phainon gestures a hand towards the spot beside him.

" i didn't even know it was my birthday until recently today. so that's why everyone was giving such earnest looks! come, then ! sit with me! this is what you wanted to do, right? then by all means! " he gestures to the basket with surprisingly considerate hands, smile not once dimming.

" mind if i open it? i'm eager to see how delicious these are. it's not every day this happens, you know! " then, more gently, more softly, " thank you, mydeimos. i would have been content to let the day be. you thinking otherwise...is something i'm grateful to have in my life." with a seriousness in a usually jovial gaze, the deliverer pulls the prince towards the spot with the grin back in place.

" now let's eat! it's my birthday, after all, right? " i'm happy you thought of me.

how easy it is, to rile up someone so easily discounted as immutable ! it's never ceased to amuse the deliverer before, and it won't stop doing so now. before him is the one to call his equal, the only person capable of keeping up with him in combat. someone with promise and infinite possibilities to grow with. how isn't that worth challenging so often ? it isn't as if the crown prince complains.

those 'heavy' steps soften, a low chuckle escaping phainon's lips.

" already two marks against me and i've only just spoken to you today. whatever have i done to earn such scorn ? i'll never know. but i can count my victories against you.

or do you mean to say they aren't as enjoyable for you ? surely the great mydeimos the undying would like the one person capable of keeping up with him so eager to give his time in battle. "

a softer chuckle, that confident smile spreading softer on his lips, something more fond. " you know full well we'll be surpassing that mark in time. does it truly matter, what the number is, really ? "

" it does no good to brood. or, pardon me, find peace and quiet for an entire day. unless ...something actually is troubling you ? is it ? " a flicker of concern in those eyes, before his smile fades a touch.

" in that case, perhaps it's good i disrupted the peace. " i'm here to be here for everyone, including you.

oathanatos

⠀Such a feat is only easy due to the nature of their relationship. Mydei is one who prides himself on his restraint, on his immutability as was so plainly put. It only makes sense for his own equal to be capable of shaking up the stoicism in him unlike any other, no? Pushing one's buttons is part of their play, how they unwind from the duties upon their shoulders. If either of them were not in the mood, that would be made apparent within seconds.

⠀Another heavy sigh slips past along with a shake of his head. ⠀"If they weren't enjoyable, I wouldn't entertain you. You know that." ⠀It is blunt yet so achingly honest. Unlike most of society, Mydeimos does not play with imagery and deceit to mask what he thinks. It is a waste of time in his eyes and an unnecessary hassle. Even if, at times, said straightforwardness has made him butt heads with others.

⠀"The number matters little, but again, I must remind you that you're the one who was so eager to keep a tally." ⠀What he fails to mention is that he too buys into the concept all too willingly. Given the chance, he would happily dangle his superior number above the head of the Deliverer; not to boast but to encourage. To serve as a means to drive him forward to improve further still. He can't have his equal falling behind now, can he?

⠀And yet.

⠀The prince remains silent for a moment, gaze not quite lingering on Phainon as usual. Perhaps he was brooding. He shifts on his feet slightly and pursed his lips in thought before giving a quick flick of his head in offering of a seat next to him as all pretense of being ready for a fight have all but evaporated. It is only when Phainon edges closer does he begin to speak his mind once more.

⠀"It is merely the usual. I need time to think on what to do regarding my people. They wish to see me return to the throne but... Is that truly what is best for them?" ⠀For one so stern and impassive, his thoughts often are a whirlpool. ⠀"...Nevermind. That is a problem only I can solve." ⠀Sometimes, the whirlpool threatens to pull him under. Sometimes, the whirlpool doesn't want to let him swim to safety. And sometimes, he lets it.

⠀"And you? Did you come searching for me with intent or simply wanted the company?"

" come now, don't look at me like that. " he lingers in the corner of his vision; a spot of light on the roof. the deliverer's expression is parts playful and equal parts boyish. hand on his hip, phainon smiles as if there's something terribly amusing.

" leave you to brood on the roof or spar ? last i checked, you were behind me in the tally, mydeimos. " he lets the words linger and settle like dust, before a slight headtilt. a twinkle in his eye. " ── of course, if you're fine with that, then i'm more than fine staying ahead of you. but that's up to you. shall i leave you here ?" / @oathanatos

oathanatos

⠀Then how should I look at you, HKS?

⠀The irate comeback remains on his tongue for just a moment before being swallowed down. Of course he knew he was coming; his footsteps carry a certain weight behind them, one that is maybe too big for one person alone. It is distinct to sharp ears such as his, along with the scent he carries. Yet the Prince makes no movement just yet save to roll his eyes.

⠀"Where did you learn to count?" ⠀The gruff tone would make any other recoil away. But not Phainon. Never Phainon. With a purposefully heavy sigh does he finally shift to look at the other man, the previous dullness in his eyes giving away to a familiar spark of one who is challenged.

⠀"And for the record, it's not brooding to simply want some peace and quiet. Not that you would know anything about that." ⠀The playfulness that only Phainon can bring out of him makes it's appearance, bleeding into his voice at the corner of each word. As his hands are brought together, and knuckles pushed down, a satisfying crack is followed by a smirk. ⠀"Now what's this about you being ahead of me? Because last time I checked, you were behind by two points."

For once, Mydei seems genuinely concerned as he steps into her shop. Arms crossed, brow furrowed, he's almost so lost in thought that it takes him a moment to realize she was there.

"Miss Maribelle, apologizes for the intrusion, but I didn't know who else to ask." He paces a little bit around before finally stopping and turning to face her, all serious. "Have you had any visions of animals coming down from the sky?"

It sounds absolutely ridiculous said aloud and yet Mydei is not laughing, or even smiling for that matter.

"I heard someone mention that the weather will be turning sour soon and that it would rain cats and dogs... Surely you would know something about this if that's true?"

ruby eyes crinkle in a smile that brightens her whole face. " oh, hey there mydei - " she's all about mentioning how she had a feeling he'd be here today, just a little nudge from the universe and then -

" you're joking, right? or did you come all the way here to ask to - oh no.. " a grown ass man thinks that's literal ? is unspoken, of course ! nothing but warmth and affection for a dear friend. instead, it comes out so flat, missing the sun-bright warmth of moments prior. her smile fades into something flatter.

but the look on his face is so achingly sincere, as the man had a penchant for being. painfully and achingly true in all he did. she had a doubt that mydei even know how to lie. his insane honor code in their society was...something, to say the least.

in a way, mydeimos was far more ...wholesome, than most lives she'd met or touched in some way, making the question so painfully...innocent.

oh no. he does mean it. he really thinks that. how does he live outside?

she massages her already sensitive temples, so rigorously that the esper probably has stabbed her third eye with her nails ! " uh. so. okay that's a thing. you thinking that is a thing, and you don't lie." isn't he a few years younger than her? barely?

he comes into her shop all riled up and it's for this? way to think it was something serious. she really thought the worst for a minute. ignoring the frustration that curtails that thought, she taps her nails on the counter and gestures with a hand.

" mydei. it's a saying. it's not real. cats and dogs don't fly in the sky and they won't anytime in the future unless a space program decides to fling them back up there. which i hope they don't because that's inhumane." a grimace. " but i get your point." given the nature of his partner....

" i really was the only person you could ask, huh ? not like you could ask your boyfriend or you'd be getting laughed at for five years. " / @oathanatos
