â»  Ever since Shiki moved away ( or rather â ran away ) from home because of a discomforting childhood, he still couldnât bring himself to dislike his parents. They may have been the sole cause of fabricated lies and blind conditioning, but they were his parents nonetheless. Being the only son to bear the Kurobane name, there was still the possibility of him succeeding the family â something he has yet to agree or disagree to.Â
Shiki still agreed to come back to the Demon Realm at least every 100 years or so; give or take. It was fair. And while he still bore the name along with the status of being the only son to the noble family, he would accompany the his parents and elder sister to speak to the ruler of an allied kingdom.Â
While awaiting, dressed in full uniform, violet eyes cast over to the direction the voice came from. At first, thereâs no verbal response. Social interaction was still a weak point of his, nonetheless. â ⊠Itâs inevitable.â Suffocating in politics, he means.
With how he answered, she had a feeling that he really didnât want to be here himself. He looked rather young, to say the least, but he may be older than her by a few years. She carefully shifted to set her bass down and have it lean against the wall, smiling at the male before her. She couldnât keep being so dull with this man, considering he was probably going to be in there for hours to discuss politics.
   âItâs not always inevitable, but I suppose it depends on your family. My nameâs Marceline by the way, daughter of Hunson.â
Mentioning that she was the daughter of such a high political figure was something still a bit odd to her. She always felt as if she disappointed him because she didnât want to take over his place in the Nightosphere. She just wanted him to be proud. But his disposition wasnât made apparent in her visage.
   âWhat are you here for anyway?â
