May I ask for Solace x Hernia, please?
The life of an El Master is always busy.
Just after Ebalon finishes his night shift, Perrihart finds himself running to the library to grab a book for Ebalon, getting sent back to return it upon finding out it’s the wrong one, and then going back yet again after Denif chews them out for “bad work habits”.
Maybe it has something to do with the fact that he’s the youngest one on the job. Perrihart doesn’t know, and frankly, he doesn’t have time to know.
Ventus stops him before lunch to ask him to buy some sandwiches for the group, and Gaia asks him to pick up a coffee after he returns with the sandwiches. By the time he’s back with coffee, though, Rosso has already inhaled most of the sandwiches, quite unapologetically.
There’s more general chaos after lunch. A river in Bethma exploded, creating a waterfall that the people of the world below have taken to calling Bethagara Falls. Hamel is facing another coming tsunami - Perrihart glares particularly hard at Ebalon for this. And of course, Ruben is suffering from the harsh sunlight that only Perrihart can control.
Perrihart groans and begins manipulating the ancient arcane magic that moves the sky, slowly shifting the world from light to dark. Finally, his shift for the day is over. Ebalon comes back in, and Perrihart slinks out to the chamber of the El, ready to see his Lady.
Harnier smiles brightly as Perrihart walks into her chamber, where the heart of the El resides. “Welcome back, Perrihart,” she greets, reaching for his face and pressing a soft kiss to his lips. “How was your day?”
“Terrible,” he admits, “but at least I’m with you.”
From his bag, he retrieves a single packaged item and hands it to her.
Perrihart spends his free shift eating the last sandwich with Harnier, completely forgetting that he needs sleep, but it’s totally worth it.
