Almost instantly, after losing himself for a moment on being asked of his old home, some memories bubbled back up into the mind of the opal swordsman, making him scowl in disdain. With a heavy sigh, he shook his head.
“Let’s just say I... wasn’t meant ‘ta be there.”
Jirou turned over and gave a more dismissive pose, shrugging his shoulders as he attempted to vent the negative thoughts:
“It feels nice not havin’ to hear any whisperin’ smacktalk nor gettin’ glowered at. Yyyyep, so long as I’m anywhere but there, I’m cool.”
With a folding of his arms behind his head, Jirou looked down at his chest, smirking at the noted tattoo.
“It’s pretty badass isn’t it? Unfortunately, where I got it from’s another place a looooong ways away from here, buuuuut, the mountain village we came from over there?” The Bisharp pointed over to the west, where he and his group marched from, “They got a parlor for sweet markings kinda like these.” Jirou ended his answer with a nonchalant glance away, towards the mountains, his face more relaxed, teasing even.
“If ya hurry ya can catch it just before the worker goes on break...”
☄ <—- Leave this in my ask if you want to see an AU where our characters are evil.
✣ <—- Leave this in my ask if you want to see an AU where our characters are pirates together

(( heck I’ll do both, Ailyx as evil pirates
These two probably just bested a village and are probably looking on in the haunting purple night sky, smiling over their victory together. Just look at those smirks, they know how fierce they are >BV Love it ))
Alyx’s chest gem radiated a dancing tense light of violet, feeling his muscles tighten if even for a moment. It’s been a while since he’s even last SEEN Ailith, and while they haven’t known each other for quite that long, he knew she was always on the run and in danger. And yet, with the power and unshakable resolve she emanated, he didn’t think someone would succeed. Having gotten to know he so well, this came as quite a shock... and some emotions were welling up violently.
Before he could get a head of himself, Alyx paused and took a deep breath lest his feelings could make him lose focus. As a shock as this was to him, he had little to go on, and needed to know more. His stare was stern, a blend of some righteous determination yet concern, as well as looking inquisitive. He took a step forward, keeping his amethyst pupils locked on the Gothikiss.
“ ... So her blood and trail is all that’s known, huh?” Alyx grit his teeth. Easing his muscles as to allow his heart to ease, he hopefully tried to pry for more answers. “... Is there anything else to know? Is there any way to track her at all?”“
That’s when a soft hiss come from around the corner, from the concave where the double doors were, as well as a low, sly, smooth reptilian voice was heard.
“... that’s...” Alyx muttered aloud before looking over.
Sure enough, from the tone alone, it confirmed his guess; the Hellfire Hoodlum of his team and family, Masou, stationed just at the corner of the entryway to the league’s back entrance.
“ ... Seriously...?” Alyx questioned with a look of disbelief but also a tone of hope.
“If there’sss anything I’m good at aside from fighting and ssssilencing targets, it’sss tracking them. All I’d need is the site of the attack for her sssscent and the general direction.” The rogue Scrafty flicked his tongue for emphasis before pulling his collar back up with folded arms.
“You sure about that?”
“I found you and your sssister, didn’t I?” argued Masou bluntly with overlapped arms. “I’m no ssstranger to traveling to entirely new territoriessss to find people. I may have blood in my hissstory, but I’m a tracker first and foremost. I’m jussst a free agent now.” With that point made, he glanced over at Estelle with a neutral sharp gaze.
“ ... It’sss up to you if you want to accept my help in the end. I merely sssensed something was off when I saw Alyx heading out with a concccerned acquaintance of Ailith’s without Ailith herself.”
(( I fiddled with this for longer than I intended :D;
But yeah, figured for Xmas I’d draw these pairs in their dressy wears for their inevitable dances in their respective RPs, felt like trying a different pose in each. vuv)/
Hope you all have a wonderful Xmas, enjoy yourselves and enjoy time with your families and friends and other loved ones yeah? Good yuletidings to you all! ))
Askthewanderingwarriors Estelle@Dycae: "My my, that's quite the outfit you have there~" Estelle played with the mistletoe she held in her hand, it seemed as though she was testing him before deciding if she would hold it between the two of them. "You don't really seem like one who would attend a event such as this. Why are you here?"
I had to blink several times in order to process who this gal is. I’ll admit, she definitely caught me off guard. Thankfully ol’ Dycae is quick to recover, otherwise this situation might get a little awkward.
“Why thank ya kindly.” I chuckle, my well-known grin returning to my face as I examine the gal’s outfit. “I must say, ya outfit is quite charmin’. Very fittin’ for a gal like ya’self.”
From the looks of her, this gal appears to be some sort of hybrid. Togekiss is an obvious one, but for the second...Gothitelle or Gardevoir pops into my mind. Kinda interesting, seeing how common hybrids are. Always thought they were rather rare, but after seeing how many of them are popping up in this event...it really makes me rethink my opinion.
My eyes wander to the the herb in her hands, I couldn’t put my finger on it...but that thing looks rather familiar. “What’cha got there?” I ask, curious on what exactly that plant is. Is it a good luck charm that she just feels like carrying around? Or is there something more to it?
