“I am fine.” That was his standard answer to many questions actually, especially those concerning his well being- No matter colds, fevers or anything of the like, if he could still stand up and think, then he was absolutely fine.

And no, bloodshot eyes didn’t mean he was ill or anything of the sort.

The Balrog’s insistence sometimes - most of the time - could be a genuine bother. Luckily, Minos was acquainted with more than one way to soothe that kind of behavior when came from Lune. 

He said nothing in response, and instead he walked around his room, finding liten René quietly sleeping in his bed. With a few gentle strokes on his little head, the Judge woke the poor kitten up before cradling him in his arm. After petting him for a moment, letting him lick and bite lightly his pointer finger, he placed him gently atop of Lune’s chest. 

“He shall make you some company as well, and may remain watching you too, so I will know if you attempt to leave this room,” he said, bringing his hand to stroke gently Lune’s silver locks.

Minos leaned closer, pressing a rather gentle kiss onto his lips while being careful not to press against the little kitten that purred softly on top of the Balrog’s chest. 

“Now, obey me and rest. I shall be back later tonight, so I can look after you.”

[ruleofsilence]

When Minos left the room, Lune already had half a mind of rolling off the bed and trying to get away as soon as he could, but it felt as if his body had started refusing to answer, so he laid there, unmoving and more frustrated than he could’ve imagined- That is until he felt a sudden weight on his chest and the all too familiar sound of sleepy meows.

The Balrog looked surprised for a moment, staring at the kitten first and at the Judge next, finding it hard (if not impossible) to suppress what dangerously looked like a pout. “...Now this, this is incredibly unfair.” Just as he said that, liten René thought it nice to happily rub against his chest, purring as loudly as he could.

“...You know I won’t leave.” Lune’s shoulders dropped and he sighed, raising one hand to gently pet the cat before turning his head upwards to at least try to return the kiss. There was no real point anymore in trying to escape and not only because there was a purring furball on his chest, but also because just by laying down, he was starting to feel sleepy- And there was no way he could work like that.

Not to mention that irritating Minos wouldn’t have made his day any better.

“I might have forgotten,” he answered, and it wasn’t exactly a proper lie. Perhaps this time he opted to forget, as he knew that words and orders sometimes were not enough to convince someone as stubborn as Lune.

“Why, yes.” Minos proceeded to walk, not minding a single bit the curious gazes from other Specters around. It wasn’t that much of an unusual sight, and he couldn’t care less about the lower ranks, either. “You shall rest until your health’s been recovered.” 

He managed to open the door of his chambers, and laid Lune down carefully on his bed. His gaze remained on him as he sat by the edge, close to him. “And in the case it wasn’t clear, that too is not a suggestion.”

[ruleofsilence]

“Sure you have, sir. I will make sure to leave you a note about it next time, then.” He wouldn’t settle for being treated like a useless puppet, nor would he accept the same treatment Minos bestowed on Saints- Strings simply felt wrong on him and they did well in souring his mood further.

Being carried about was the least of his worries, as it was the sort of thing that just started happening more and more often, to the point Lune was forced to get used to it- No matter if it still felt a little awkward. Perhaps that was why he was almost glad when the Judge finally placed him down on the bed- What he wasn’t glad about were his next words. “I insist- Some fever is no hindrance to me.” It felt like speaking to a wall, but he wouldn’t go down without a fight, so to say.

◎ Who are the Specters you would actually trust?

send a ◎ and a question and my muse must answer, even if it’s a secret.

“Now, this is quite the tricky question. Not counting Lord Rhadamanthys and Aiacos and of course not even mentioning Lord Minos, which would be a most obvious answer, I suppose I am forced to say Fyodor. Despite his completely barbaric and unorthodox methods, he knows what he’s doing and knows where his loyalty lies. I could also dare mention some other... Collegause that do come to my mind, but it would be a stretch, to say the least. Everyone has their own interests... No matter what.”

“The sheer amount of work overweights the chaos that sometimes ensues and the infinite patience one needs with the souls who do not stay in line. Certainly, my work tends to greatly decrease when it’s Lord Minos taking care of the judgement...”

◎ If you still had a chance to recruit Shion, would you do so?

send a ◎ and a question and my muse must answer, even if it's a secret.

“Yes, yes, I would. While his stubborness and ridiculous humanity are two terrible traits, a good training and some time in the Underworld would take care of that no wonder. A power like his could prove to be extremely useful and it’s so- Akin to mine, that I cannot help feeling intrigued.”

Minos could have rolled his eyes at Lune’s response - in fact, that was exactly what he did.

After all these years, however, it was almost offensive to be given that kind of answer, especially when he already knew it was far from being true.

Minos could argue, it’d be fitting if he did, as that was his common behavior. Yet, he knew how stubborn Lune was, and he wasn’t in the mood for aimless discussion. Thus, he did something only he could do. With his invisible strings, he pulled Lune to his arms in a single movement, carrying him with both arms in the most gentle bridal style afterwards across the hall.

“That wasn’t a suggestion, Lune,” he said, meeting his gaze. His pale skin was uncommonly reddish. Was he running a fever? “Tsc. You’ll stay in bed and the handmaidens shall take care of you till I return. Understood?”

[ruleofsilence]

There were many things Lune couldn’t stand, as he wasn’t exactly the most patient of people, nor was he good when it came to bearng with particularly stressfull situations- And despite his position as mere assistant, or Lieutenant, he actually wanted to keep as much control as he could.

So when he felt his arms suddenly snap back (causing the disastrous fall of the books he had been holding) and his balance going off, as if someone had just kicked the back of his knees, Lune felt confusion, at first- And anger right after. Surely he didn’t fall, because luckily there was someone there to catch him, but the Balrog couldn’t stand being used as a puppet. He felt far too proud for that.

“I thought you were aware of the fact that I deeply despise it when you use your strings on me, sir.” Being so close to Minos’ face, he could see that the other was inspecting him, albeit discreetly (oddly enough.) and that just made him want to turn his head away: he was feeling perfectly fine. Well, almost. “Am I being forced to stay in bed? I could be perfectly productive despite my... Not exactly healthy state.” And yet, he wasn’t exactly trying to escape the Judge’s hold, as it would’ve proven to be just too tiring. And possibly useless.

i heard that you would do anything for minos

“I heard that you —-” Finish this in my ask box   

“Correct. But that really is no rumor, rather a certainty. And quite the obvious one.”

[ruleofsilence]

I heard that you like Aries Shion a lot.

“I heard that you —-” Finish this in my ask box  

“And I’d love to know where or who you heard that from, as your source is embarassingly unreliable, as I’ve heard nothing more false than that. I mgiht’ve been interested in his peculiar power, but the moment he turned his back to me, was the moment he was also dead to me.”
