“ promise me that you’ll take care of yourself, okay? ”
❛ leavin’ me so soon, zag? you’ll leave a man lonely with that type of attitude. ❜ he jests, with a low chuckle & the sound of chiming shackles. raihan leans back & presses the heel of his hands against the sooty ground where he’s seated. his heavy tail thumping behind him as he takes delight in the subtle reaction in the prince’s expression. ❛ oh, come now. i jest, my friend. you have much to get to, don’t you? ❜
❛ tell you what. ❜ raihan starts, getting to his feet now. a small beat of strong wings behind him to dust the soot off his body as he crosses his arms. ❛ i’ll give you a little somethin’ ‘n’ you can be on your way, yeah? you have big plans ahead of you. there’s no stoppin’ that. ❜ clawed digits carefully reach up to his neck & unclasp the necklace before holding it out towards the zagreus. ❛ here. it’s ... not special, or as great as the boons any god or goddess could give you but - i learned a thing or two. it should come in handy. ❜
walking forward, he placed the necklace in the prince’s hand & steps back. ❛ i have much to do here ... what with havin’ to avoid drawin’ too much attention from a certain goddess. ❜ he kicks a rock to the side before he’s giving zagreus a kind, soft expression with his meek smile. ❛ if ... i see you around. tell me what it’s like up there, ‘m afraid my memory is not on my side anymore, my friend. but most of all, give ‘em hell ‘n’ find your mother. you deserve that much. ❜
