[Link woke up, immediately tensing. He didn't recognize this house. How had he even gotten there? This wasn't where he was last! His head felt fuzzy, too...]
[Then, he noticed you. Why did you look so much like him? He didn't like it much. He opened his mouth to speak, and—]
[...Ah, right. He couldn't speak. So, he settled for trying to make noise to get your attention.]

*Pathos blinks, then nearly sprints to you as he sees you look at him* Oh my god-- you're awake! oh thank fuck, I--
...are you okay? you're not hurt anywhere are you? breathing alright?
There’s so much pathos in this scene…
Ed doesn’t get to finish his meal
He doesn’t throw the plate of food
He puts down his cutlery, and dabs the napkin to his mouth Ed raises a finger to excuse himself ‘…one second.’ There’s even a little throat clearance.
The smashing of the chair is away from everyone, and Ed puts his own body between the chair and Stede.
Ed’s first instinct is to steady the vase before second thoughts cause him to knock it down too…
Considering it’s mere seconds since Ed learns the circumstances of Stede’s leaving, and he’s still concussed, Ed’s self-restraint is quite something.
Ed is not out of control. This is performance. It’s real hurt, but there’s method in the madness. And when he leaves the room, Ed is certain Stede will follow. Ed shows Stede he needs comfort by hiding under the blanket, signifying similar emotional need to the battle jacket in the bathtub scene. His ‘Go away’ is ‘Stay and let me vent my hurt at you’.
Ed has tried to fake indifference and stoicism all episode until the latest revelation breaks him; and he finally, openly, flies his emotions like a bleeding-heart flag.
SPECIAL SHOUTOUT TO @nico-the-overlord ! It made a post that inspired me to look at my mlp au again
Ive chosen to redesign the designs i made, looking back some of them were just kinda boring :/ but like janus and remus are the same. Also they all have names! Id honestly love to draw more of them
*There's a letter placed on the table in the kitchen, easily seen and addressed to Pathos. - The master sword Lay beside it. Chiming sadly.*
Pathos...
You're probably worried. I'm sorry I didn't find you. I know this is the best way to do this.
I want to see green with my own eyes. I want to try talking to him one last time. Try to show him the error of his ways.
I've left Fi with you, I need to show him that I dont mean him any harm and... well I know how you all feel about her. Espically him.
I... I need to know im making the right decision. This will help me make that choice.
If... this goes badly. Then we continue on our path. If it goes well... maybe we... won't have to hurt him.
I'll be back in a few hours
Sky
*I place the master sword on the table. My hand is still on her handle.*
I know you dont like this Fi... but I have to do this. I have to ensure I'm making the right decision in putting my life on this.
Master, I must insist you take me with you... You are walking into darkness without-
He won't hurt me, Fi... Not unarmed.
Master, I cannot protect you if I am not with you.
Logos is there... If something goes wrong, he'll step in.
Master Logos went to green. He left.
He did... because he's worried about our friend. I... I get it.
I will not allow you to go unarmed. I'll summon Master Pathos...
Fi.
*She quietens.*
I'm not completely unarmed. I always carry weapons. The ones he knows of and the ones he dosent.
Master Sky... Please...
I have the protection ring. And I'll bring a sword. You and I have a connection like no other. You'll know if I am in trouble. I need you to trust me. Do you trust me, Fi?
*She remains quiet for a moment* With my entire being, Master Sky.
It would make me feel much better if I knew Pathos had a way to hold back the darkness here... Will you watch over them for me?
... I will Master Sky...
*With a step back, I release her from my hold. Fixing the spare sword at my hip, I make for the door. Leaving as quietly as I can. The walk over to Green's house is a silent afair.*
What... what do I say to him...
*Silence meets me. I look over my shoulder almost subconsciously and see FI not at my back.*
Oh right... No. Fi. *I chuckle.* I suppose he... I owe him an apology. I can start with that... and we can go from there....
*The rest of the walk is made in silence. As I listen to the birds chirp.*
*I approach Green's house after a while. looking over the familiar walls. An adoptive family remember. This is... from what Green said. My home too.*
