CP? If I may point out- you keep saying you've done all this before, tried every possible angle, had every possible conversation. but this the first time you've learned some of the things about the situation that you have, right? you shouldn't have been so surprised otherwise. maybe some understanding can still be arrived at- maybe there's just still something that needs to be learned or understood, for it to happen. completing a puzzle of any kind while pieces are still missing is... difficult, at best. impossible, at worst.

Bells at least tries to hide their amusement... key word being 'tries.' "tall is nice." they agree, looking up. and up. and well- "my brother has good taste. he-" and here they falter, remembering something, and all amusement kind of, vanishes. they glance away, their expression hard to read. let Nintendo enjoy the pretty paladin for now. the rest could wait.

Umbra climbs down from Huitzi, looks over at Bells, looks to the Ink, then rushes to Bells’ side, hugging them tight.

Huitzi pats their shoulder and holds out his hand to Archer and Nintendo, whoever wants to take it first. He gives the pair a broad smile.

they rub their forehead, eyes half closing. "they cried. my little girls. Sobbed. Mea couldn't understand why."

"Raine? Raine was, afraid. because she knows your magic, knows it's like hers, and knows it hurt him. she asked Greylu if her magic was bad, and... if she was bad. if she'd hurt him too."

they swallow, tightly, sagging a bit against the wall. "and that man that you, seem to resent so much, and judge so harshly? before his burns were even finished healing, he was already comforting her. telling her that no, she wasn't bad, she was wonderful..that it wasn't bad magic... it had just been used poorly."

they lift their gaze, suddenly nothing so much as, just tired of trying to keep peace in their own family. "then? he told her that it was a misunderstanding. her papa had made a mistake, and a mistake doesn't make you bad, much less evil."

"...barely healed now? this is what he told her. that you, her papa, weren't bad, or evil. that it was a misunderstanding."

"..."

"I want, you to know that. And remember it, the next time you resent him for being her father too."

{the guardian stands there listening to their words absorbing it}

“... how long Bells?”

{his tone is heavy... his heart heavy}

“how many times will I have all of this asked of me and be given nothing in exchange? how long will I be punished for not being perfect in every way... how long will they blame me for failing to be the perfect father despite being at death’s door?”

{he looks back at them something in his eye lights enough to cause someone to take pause. it was deep... and it was not a happy thing}

“... will I ever know a day where I will not have to watch my child be pulled away from my arms because someone else wants to have a greater claim on her? will I ever know a day where my own children do not resent me and blame me for everything wrong in their lives? will there ever be a day where I am not PUNISHED for keeping the gates open for askers?”

{he asked a hand reaching for the crack in his skull}

“you always wish of me to stand on the higher road. the selfless road. you ask of me to be the one to give up... fight longer... offer services to others... and I am expected to ask for nothing in return” 

[straightforward-sweetness]

“Hmm... not much comes to mind other than the kits.”

“Me and Nova have been trying our best to keep them all safe! Like, kit proofing sockets and table legs.”

But I really felt like making a GIF and- well, I couldn’t help myself- sorry. -w-“” (I personally like the none evil one the most but had to- just had to-)

This is for: @dreamsaredarkening, @sometimesanartdragon, @mage0flight , @with-bells-upon and Feather but they’re an Anon so, shrug who they are.

If the characters that represent you aren’t what you want, well I just looked at the profile picture of these people so, not my fault if they’re not correct. :V

Except the creepy glitch thing I call MV, none of these characters are mine! I only own the art!

[sleepyskele]

hmm, you know what? I want to see your Cryptid AU 'you.' -well, assuming you haven't already, and I ousted missed it.
