“You can tell me all about how tired you aren’t while I carry you to bed.”

“I’m not that tired, Gueira.” Crossing his arms, Lio was leaning against the wall behind him. “Even if I were, you’re not carrying me when I can walk myself.” Really, Lio was exhausted. His day had been so hectic and filled to the brim, that he hadn’t even ate lunch. His dinner had been mandatory since he had to speak to the new Governor and her posse. At least he hadn’t had to pay.

Purple and grey bags under his normally vibrant violet eyes, they now appeared dull. Continuing to be the leader for the Burnish Refugees in the city as well as trying to help them all integrate into their new lives meant his to do list never ended.

“Can we just walk already?” Lio didn’t want to stand outside this restaurant anymore.

@with-fire-and-iron replied to your post “Aina has a problem, and she doesn’t want to talk about it.”

You’re not alone, Aina.

Both of you.

Send 🌺 to hear what my muse likes about yours

Well, they’ve already covered that Aina thinks he’s cute, right? It’s too bad, almost, because she doesn’t know Gueira that well. Really, he’s still something of a mystery, but that’s not going to stop her from trying! Mystery or not, he’s–he’s a person. She wants to like him. Maybe be friends? Aina wonders how many times she’s going to repeat herself about this. Many, probably. It’s not like it’s an easy transition, but there’s something she can think of…

“You laughed at my dumb jokes,” Aina decides, shaking her head. “I dunno. You seem fun, if a little wild… but that’s never stopped me before. I doubt it will now.”

🍑  :     how meticulously does my muse look after their physical appearance?  do they spend a lot of time on their hair,  makeup,  grooming,  and clothing?  is there a particular reason why they do or don’t? Anilith spends the most time on her outfits for the day since it’s the biggest way she can express herself. And one of the first things people notice when they see her.  She is also very particular about her hair, she is meticulous about keeping it a certain length. As for make up, it’s something she likes to do. But usually opts for just enough to look presentable.  🍓  :    how is my muse typically seen by others?  does it ring true to who they really are?  does their reputation matter to them? She hopes that people see her for someone that’s kind! Her reputation matters to her, as a Burnish that runs a store. Her reputation means everything. Which is the reason why she holds back her Burnish self to many many people. The only people that know she is a Burnish are the Mad Burnish Trio. As she does not trust anyone else with such a secret.

@with-fire-and-iron​ said  “   i  can’t  believe  that  asshole  said  that  to  you .   it’s  not  true ,   you  know .    ” Sitting between Gueira’s thighs as she rested her head against his shoulder. His arm rested on her back gently rubbing it to comfort her. She didn’t experience discrimination for being a Burnish too often, but when she did it. It hurt a lot. Words like that usually stuck with her for awhile, until she managed to create better memories to to cancel out the bad ones.  “I-I know.” she said hiccuping a bit. She rubbed the tears from her eyes with the back of her hands. She hated the anti-burnish people. The Burnish were people too. They needed to eat and sleep just like them. So why did having something so special make them so different. Gueira rested his head atop hers as he continued to rub her back, “i can’t believe that asshole said that to you . it’s not true, you know. ” “Do you ever wish that you were..’normal’?” she said emphasizing the world normal. And of course she would never want to be normal. She loved being a Burnish. She wouldn’t trade it for anything. Anilith summoned a small flame between the two. “I know I hate the way some people treat us...but there’s something about how the Promare makes me feel so whole.”

It was another late night for the pair and Gueira was on his back with his arms covering his face. Frowning because she knew even her words weren’t going to be enough to coax the other out of his current state. Sighing, she laid back next to him, looking up at the stars that dotted the sky.

“It’ll be okay.” she said turning her head to look at him. “But maybe you should talk about it. It’ll help to get it off your chest. Because at least you won’t keep it all bottled up inside, yknow?” She wasn’t the greatest at giving advice, but the least she could was lend an ear to the other.  “I’ll listen for as long as you need me too. I promise.”

@with-fire-and-iron​ murmured:  “ i don’t know what’s gonna happen, but i’m sure it can’t be good. ❜  

She still kept close to Gueira as they continued being followed. If they were still on his quad, they could at least speed away somewhere safe. But they were on foot right now and had to not look too suspicious.  Just up ahead was a large crowd of anti-burnish members crowding an area. “Come on.” he said pulling her towards the crowd. It wasn’t the best situation to be in, but at least it would be harder to find them. The pair got to the center where there was a open and circle and pair of people fighting. A Burnish and a non Burnish were fighting. And of course, the Burnish was losing as they were much smaller than the other. Anilith buried her face into Gueira’s side, not wanting to witness the pain the other was going through. He pulled her close, keeping a hand on her shoulder. Rubbing her shoulder softly, he whispered to her,  “ i don’t know what’s gonna happen, but i’m sure it can’t be good. ❜  He knew he couldn’t step into do anything unless he wanted to risk both their safety

She was a bit scared as the pair walked with him, even going as far as to holding onto his arm. She could feel the watchful eyes on the pair from behind, she tried her best to keep herself calm and not make it obvious that they were both Burnish.  She took a deep breath and kept herself together. She had to be strong too and not let the anti-Burnish people get to them. She tapped on his hand wanting to ask him a question, “When do you think we’ll be safe?” she asked.  The feeling of being watched made her uneasy and she wanted out of this as soon as she could.
