“I see.”

Jay rubbed the back of his hand, certainly no progress in finding anyone else. At this rate he might as well accept the conclusion that they didn’t make it here, as much as he would rather not.

When Stella looked away and gripped her dress though Jay’s expression changed, he could certainly tell that he had a problem now. He was probably the last person anyone should ever go to for any type of reassurance or the like.

When it came down to it Jay sucked at being supportive.

He thought for a second or two of some possible way to give her comfort, but he wasn’t Grune, or Moses, or Norma, even Chloe would do a better job at this.

“Regardless, they’ll undoubtedly show up sometime knowing them and how they like to pull surprises.”

[seaside-firefly-blog]

She knew Jay. Actually, as long as they were a resident of the Legacy, she knew them well. Though most of her time was focused on making sure Senel was alright, she did check up on Jay, Norma, and the others. She had to. They were his new family and that was more important than anything.

So Stella sat in surprise when he "attempted" to comfort her.

"Regardless, they'll undoubtedly show up sometime knowing them and how they like to pull surprises."

A slight laugh erupted as she moved to sit closer to the shores. Toying with her sleeves, the blond stared up at the ninja beside her. "... Thank you, by the way." Petting her own teriques, she looked down - almost shyly from the smaller man. "For everything you've done."

After all, there's no way Senel would've even been able to enter Vaclav's stupid tower if it weren't for Jay. Though overall, the mission was unsuccessful, she was proud of all of them. And so grateful for all the things they had done for her, Shirley, Senel, and the Legacy she infused herself into. It was probably childish and foolish. Thanking someone when the mission was never completed. But she didn't, in her last few breaths that time ago. So she might as well now - though misplaced and wrongly timed.

❛01｡ how are you ?

[sacrederes-blog]

Hmmmm? What was the bandit going to have for dinner tonight? Would it be boar? Would it be berries? Or maybe fish! Hevia was close by after all, it would  be fun fishing with just javelins! It would be challenging and messy, but Moses enjoyed dinner with fight in it. It just made his dinner more rewarding.

His stomach gave a low growl as he thought about it to himself standing among the foliage of the forest surrounding the area, a hand lightly patted his belly.

He mumbled softly down to his stomach, “I’m goin’, I’m goin’, sheesh!”

Walking toward the lake, his hand continued to rest on his stomach as the pains grew more potent with each step he took toward his destination. By the time he reached the water’s edge, he was almost doubled over in hunger pain. Both of his hands were now wrapped around his midsection, his eyes screwed shut completely as he gave a groan of pain.

At first he heard nothing except the empty gurgling of his desolate stomach, until that giggle resonated within his ears.

Who’s that?

The voice sounded familiar but unfamiliar. The redhead raised his head slowly to eye the woman sitting in the crystal clear water, but it took a while for his eyes to focus due to blurring caused by hunger.

Almost in focus… Almost… And… There!

The bandit jumped out of his skin as he saw the blonde’s figure, he never in a million years had expected Stella to be alive, much less here.

Calling out to the female, he stutters fearfully, “S-Stella?! Ain’t you dead? O-Or am I dead? D-Did I starve to death just now?!”

[seaside-firefly-blog]

There was nothing more calming to Stella than the beautiful waters of Hevia. The place in general was a force that drew her in constantly. The soft songs that were heard, echoing throughout the place.. The beautiful landscape.. That magical force that Stella knew wasn't Nerifes, but just so close enough... And

"S - Stella?!"

Oh, that was calming.

Jumping, the girl sunk into the water, completely surprised. In response, her golden teriques flew around her in circles; perhaps it was protecting her? On guard, she watched as the bandit stared at her in fear. Heart beating, Stella peeked up more until her abdomen was out of the water. One step closer... Two steps closer... 

Yes, she's definitely seen this face before. Definitely heard that voice be--

"... Moses? Moses... Sandor?"

Peeking out of the water more, she felt a ridiculous wave of relief. Though it wasn't Senel or Shirley, it was someone she became well acquainted with-- even if... he didn't have that mutual feeling to her. After all, she watched him closely. He stole her sister the second she finally got Senel and Shirley onto the Legacy!

"N - no, no, wait. Please, don't freak out." There it was. That elderly tone of her's. Of not a sister's, but a mother's. "You're not dead." A tiny giggle. "I'm alive, Moses! Sophia - or rather, the Great Tree - brought me back here."

❛01｡ how are you ?

[guardianguarded-deactivated2012]

Jay smiled a little and nodded, making a bit of an effort to seem pleasant. After all Stella hadn’t given him reason not to be so far. But he was a little surprised that she had bothered to remember his name, after all there really was no reason to.

“That would be my name yes.”

“I apologize again for disturbing you, but could I ask you something? Have you seen Senel or Shirley?”

He didn’t know if she knew anyone else from the group, but he was sure if there had been anyone she’d seen that she knew it would be those two. Jay knew better than to get his hopes up though, so far it really seemed like there more dead ends than anything else.

[seaside-firefly-blog]

Considering how long he's lived ... practically on her, when she was in sync with the Legacy, it wouldn't be much a surprise at all. Of course, her initial reason to even watching over the smaller ninja would be for the sake of trusting him or not. He would be traveling with Senel. He was in the mission to save her, Shirley, and stop a war from breaking out. Of course, she tried her best to memorize the faces of those who stuck by Senel's side - at least until she died.

Beaming a bit, due to her apparent memory, it quickly fell flat and her face fell almost chaotically to a small, tight lipped frown.

Stella didn't even realize she sunk into the water a little more, as if the water was her guardian. Even her teriques wilted again as it faded behind her.

"... Unfortunately not," she muttered softly. "Senel.. I searched for two weeks.. He doesn't seem to be anywhere. Shirley was never here either." And she was so close to at least blocking the depressive thoughts of it out. Gripping onto her dress, she looked off, away - anywhere but at the dark haired teen before her.

Stella was slipping. Rather quickly.

[seaside-firefly-blog]

❛01｡ how are you ?

[guardianguarded-deactivated2012]

There are some things that Jay does not expect, even in places like Arcadios. One such thing was while exploring discover someone who was very much dead in his world, alive and apparently quite well here. He shifted in place a little, keeping himself from making too much noise, unsure of what to do.

This was probably a once in a lifetime opportunity to communicate with Stella and possibly learning something new. But could he even coax things out of her? He doubted she’d really want to talk.

It was worth a shot though right?

Jay moved closer to the edge of the water and waited a moment before speaking to the girl. Hopefully he wouldn’t startle her too badly if he did.

“Pardon me for the intrusion, you are Stella are you not?”

[seaside-firefly-blog]

"Pardon me for the intrusion." Immediately, she perked up. Turning around, her hair whipped behind her and her dress sluggishly followed in the heaviness from soaking due to the water. Stella tensed, keeping blue eyes upon a smaller male... that she swore she had seen before. 

Slowly, tension left as she finally realized where she had seen the ninja before and Stella tilted her head. A bright smile soon followed - though she refused to move from the safety of the water. You couldn't be too careful!

"Y - Yes. My name's Stella," she started, cursing herself for the cracking of her voice. Why should she be nervous? She knows that this guy was good, right? He was with Senel for quite a while. For as long as she watched them. ... Though of course, her mind went to the worst and god knows what has happened since she died. With her fingerpads pressed against her forehead, she thought for a second. It's been a long time since she- Oh!

"You're.. Jay, right?" 

If Stella was nervous, she hid it rather easily.

[seaside-firefly-blog]

❛01｡ how are you ?

"Well, hello. How're you today...?"

Three weeks, five days in. Stella awoke to new surroundings, farther places to walk to reach the water, and a loneliness she understood well. She didn't dwell on it though. The lack of Aster and Senel was something she wasn't surprised at. Even though her own teriques wilted onto her shoulder as she cried and hid herself in the water for a whole day and night. But then again, that was three weeks and five days ago.

No. She made herself comfortable again. Always look on the bright side, Stella had believed. If she could survive Vaclav's torture, three years from her family, and dying, she could totally handle this! Where ever the boys were, she was sure they were... alright. Or she told herself that. It seemed to work anyway.

Busy yourself. If Stella wasn't sleeping, she was at Hevia. Indeed, did the female hear the song of perhaps - mermaids. Stella didn't know what mermaids were though. So she just assumed there was something lovely in the water. Like a god. Like Nerifes. Whatever worked. So she sat there and talked to them daily. Even if she wasn't sure they could hear.

Indeed, the only Ferines of Arcadios must've looked rather odd, talking to herself as she sat fully clothed in the water.

But the water was more company than she could ask for.

"Me..? I'm okay. Look! I got used to walking again. Isn't that a strange thing? Walking?" A giggle. She wasn't delusional, she swore.

Senel is positive he’s going to overheat at any moment - overheat and pass out into the water, and maybe drown for real this time. So embarrassing. Completely, overwhelmingly embarrassing — that is, until she finally answered him.

Things seemed to… slow down. His hand crept along, gloved fingers sliding protectively over the top of Stella’s more dainty hand.

“I think I waited too long for that,” he admitted in a breath, relieved and joyous and… strangely calm. Knowing things could only get better from here helped his state of mind immensely.

… But he was quick to apologize, embarrassed again. “… I’m sorry that wasn’t a bit more… — romantic.” But it was a start.

Her hand twitched. Rather surprised, she leaned against him more with a small smile. It was kind of like they were kids. All over again. And to be honest, it felt wonderful - as much as she was trying to stop living in the past. In return, Stella slowly laced her hands with his and gave a sigh of relief. How long had she waited for this? 

"More romantic, huh?" Stella couldn't help but laugh a bit. "Honestly, I liked it better this way," she admitted, looking up at him. Blue eyes stared at his own and she was pretty sure Senel could see all the relief in her eyes. "I have to admit, I was a little scared you moved on. Though I wouldn't have been surprised," she stated, voice dwindling to nothing but a mutter. She had suppressed most of her fears and worries. The thought of Senel and Shirley forgetting her, the thought of Senel moving on, and the thought of dying completely.

"I was pretty hesitant, you know. You were always looking somewhere else."

“Do you want to— er…”

Shit. How to ask. He’d planned this out in his head a few hundred times, but for some reason none of those words seemed to be coming to him right now.

For a few moments, he struggled with syllables. They really were not working for him right now. No matter how many times he’d given it thought, his brain was just not going to make it easy on him right now.

”- be my special.. — be special - to me? And vice versa. That - shit, that sounds stupid.” He winced, eyes squeezing shut for a moment. Senel’s heart complained by beating frantically on the walls of his chest.

Still, despite the awkwardness he carried on with the sentiment. “… Is that okay?”

... A pause. 

Stella stared at him for a second, slightly turning to face him more. She could feel the dirt in her finger nails as she gripped the poor, innocent grass a bit more. Oh god, he really just asked that? Stella was sure her heart was going through some sort of attack - it almost hurt. 

But alas, it was a good sort of pain. What are you, Stella? A masochist? Hold your composure. The last thing you need is to look like a complete idiot, Stella. Though they were pretty much past that point!

"Y - you silly..." She took this opportunity to get a little closer, only slightly leaning against him. "Of course. Like I could really say no." A small chuckle. What was she supposed to say? Perhaps, the little miss was too happy to even speak.

He was just about ready to turn, open his mouth and tell her exactly what was on his mind, when — she took the initiative and got to him first.

Needless to say, Senel experienced a flurry of emotions after that. Firstly - oh the shame. He wanted to do that—! It was also rather embarrassing, considering who’d just kissed him, and there were probably several boyish dreams of little significance coming true in that moment. And secondly - bliss. Senel was unbelievably happy.

Those two, combined with several other factors, resulted in a lopsided smile, accompanied by the blush that currently plagued them both. It took him a while, but finally after much knee-staring of his own, the marine spoke up:

“S- Stella—”

He did his best to look at her after that, despite how badly his face was burning and hurting. Not to mention the little ticker in his chest beating wildly in some sort of panic. “Uh… There’s something I’ve been wanting to tell you.

Or — ask you, I mean…”

All the embarrassment--!

Stella didn't know if she could handle it. What if that wasn't what he wanted? Oh god, what if he hated her now? Flustered, scared, and yet so happy. She had been waiting years for the moment she could lay her lips against his. And it was just as she imagined it to be. Of course, she hadn't figured he'd be so scared to do it himself in the first place.

Heart as loud as the waves, she looked over at him, turning slowly. Stella wasn't prepared for this, was she? Oh geez. What if he says he hated her -- god, she wouldn't be able to take it. Stella swore her heart was ready to explode. As well as her head. 

".. Y - yes? What is it?"

“That’s horrible!” Anise clenched her fists.

“Why can’t people just put the past behind them?” Granted, humans weren’t much different. They fought each other over the stupidest things as well.

"Because the past is what molds them to what is today," she hummed, looking up at the sky. She couldn't help but laugh a bit. "Or so they say. I think it's getting better though, slowly...!"

Stella couldn't keep a frown, nor did she want to. She was a victim of this war between the two, not that she'd tell Anise. She had no reason to depress the smaller girl. "The difference between me and the rest, however, is that I've learned something different than them." Molded, mistaken, sculpted, and cracked, Stella took the past and went forward with a different path.

And then — five, maybe four inches away. He swallowed, letting her talk. Not that it was really helping his case. But maybe keeping his eyes on the water for a while, and just letting those words sink in wasn’t too bad of an idea.

An unexpectedly difficult task. Senel kept wanting to steal glances at the blonde.

“Affection, huh…? So it’s just another way of telling someone you care about them. — Kissing.. someone.. on the holiday, I mean.”

The urge to panic was rising. He felt it might be painfully obvious what he was getting at; and at the rate his heart was beating, he almost felt ridiculous. It wasn’t a man’s place to get flustered in these types of situations! He had to collect himself.

“…”

He cleared his throat, running a stressed hand through his hair.

".. P-pretty much? I w - wouldn't know." Come on, Senel. You're talking to the girl who barely understood kisses in the first place! Hands under her knees, she continued to look over at him, regardless her red cheeks. It was rude to not look at someone, right? In the middle of a conversation?

.. Alright. This was getting ridiculous. She hated all this tension and flustering, as cute as Senel was. Stella was always the bold one anyway! She took a deep breath. Of course, she didn't even realize what Senel was truly getting at but since the topic came up..~

Slowly, she leaned in and pressed a kiss on his lips. For the first time. Possibly ever. That's what orerines do when they liked a person in the first place, right? Especially on a day for it.. -- Regardless, Stella was bright red, fists clenching the grass beneath her as she tried to hold up her pride and composure. 

-- And then quickly looked at her knees, pretty much as red as she could get.

“A person of water..?” Like Juvia? “I have a friend who’s body is made up of water! It’s really amazing— physical attacks can’t hurt her; it’s almost like she’s immortal!” Lucy explained, with Plue mimicking her actions beside her, then running to the bank and putting it’s hands into the water. What was he doing? Lucy had no idea, since he couldn’t swim and all.

“Isn’t he?” She agreed, picking him up and holding the little spirit like a child. “Ah— yes, he’s a celestial spirit! I’m a Celestial spirit mage, so I use magic to summon him. He’s harmless, so I guess that’s why I was able to,” the blonde explained, holding up the fourteen Gatekeys that she had. 

“These are Gatekeys— the gold ones are extremely rare, and there are only one of each one in the entire world. Currently, I have Aquarius, Leo, Aries, Gemini, Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn, Sagittarius, Scorpio, and Cancer,” she said, pointing to each one as she named them all. 

Stella couldn't help but giggle. Oh. This little lady was adorable.  And so was her little friend. "I don't.. turn into water though," she said with a small laugh. Immortal? Stella's smile faded a bit. If only. "... We're no where close to indestructible." With that, she called the little orange butterfly-like creature of her Teriques. "If this thing is gone, so am I." Still, she smiled fondly at it.

She stared at the little creature and then back at her keys. "Ahh.. that's amazing--! All I can do is fight with this little guy," she said, chuckling as she waved him around. "I'm pretty sure I'm better at healing than I am at fighting though... I haven't used eres in a long time."

[Anise couldn’t help but feel a little sorry for Stella; it was obvious she didn’t feel the same way about humans as the rest of her race did.]

“Really? Why do they fight? Besides the water thing, you don’t seem much different from a human.”

"A long time ago, my ancestors, the Radiant, fought with the Orerines. I suppose we were the outsiders regardless... The Ferines came down upon the world on a ship in the sky. We lost the war and was forced back onto the ship, called the Legacy." 

A pause. The Legacy. The part of her she molded herself into so long ago.

"W - We've just never gotten along. Ever. It's so long ago. The Ferines, for the reason of losing the war, have always hated Orerines. The Radiant were always very angry people, with little regard to the lives of their own as much as the lives of others, sadly..." 

Ugh. It just made her sick.

His lips twitched, wavering between a smile.

Cautiously, he lowered to sit next to her, paying no mind to how the ground was a little damp, or to how they were only sitting about six inches apart, or how they’re really not doing the best at keeping eye contact.

“Uh — it’s… weird, huh?”

Ugh, this is so difficult. The temptation to smile slips away, and now he’s just frowning at the water, trying to keep himself from blabbing about something ridiculous and ruining the atmosphere — which they’re both clearly pretending is completely casual.

“What do you think the point is?” Getting there — slooowly getting there. He’ll get to the point eventually. Just… in a subtle manner.

… This is making him even more nervous.

Moving a foot in a circular motion, she leaned back on her hands a little, trying to keep her small, but insanely nervous smile. Weird? You know what's weird? This whole entire situation and how it happened every five seconds. For a bold girl like Stella, she was almost getting tired of it..! She wasn't usually ever this nervous.

... Then again, it was Senel.

.. Really, Senel? God, can you make her another shade of red? Looking back at him, she coughed a bit. Stella had to rub her cheeks for a second. Oh dear Nerifes.

"... It.. well, gives a chance for people to.. really show their affection and adoration for each other--? A - and to remind ..." A pause. How to say this. Oh god. "Of the simple pleasures of it in the first place." Nope. Don't look - ahh, Stella--

young-prodigy:

Aster tilted his head to the side when Stella asked him that question. He didn’t know why she was questioning him about his appearance. Was he doing it all wrong? But he read about these sort of things in books!

“Eh?”

How was he going to explain this? He thought it was pretty obvious on what he’s wearing.

“I’m wearing swimming trunks and a sweatshirt…? I found them at the Clothe Shoppe.”

He blinked at the pool. He’d already had plenty of time to get used to the bathtubs and the weird things in this world and whatnot, so… Senel really didn’t experience the surprise Stella did.

Not anymore, at least.

However, he… did pay attention to the explanation. That tube was pretty strange, and he wasn’t sure what kind of purpose it served. Senel casually reached over to prod at the squishy, inflated object - ultimately surprised at how it felt!

“It’s filled with air?” HOW DID HE DO THAT.

"I don't mean your clothes, Aster.." A pause, looking back at the pool. It was just too strange. Way too strange. "I mean... that... thing!"

The bagel of air!

Stella poked it too. .. How did the air get in there? Why did he even have it? It confused the Ferines as she tried to figure out its purpose. Really, it had to just be a fashion statement or something. A weird one at that.

"... And.. uhm.." How was she going to bring this up.

"... What is with that puddle?" She asked, pointing to the pool. ... Well, it really was a puddle to her!
