-- GLUTTONOUS HUNT.

Steam curls upward in soft spirals and the noodle stall hummed with quiet life; bowls clinking, broth simmering, and Sunday sits across from Ashveil with his hands wrapped loosely around his bowl of noddles, though the Nameless hadn’t yet taken a bite. His gaze lingered somewhere between the rising steam and the man before him, thoughtful in that careful, deliberate way of his.

“I must admit,” Sunday began, voice gentle but not uncertain, “I am not familiar with this noodle soup you praise so much. However, after your assistance today, please allow me to thank you with this meal.”

Sunday smiles faintly, the expression small but genuine. Following the old wolf's direction, Sunday lifts his chopsticks and spoon, tasting the broth. It's warm. Deep. Grounding in a way that made the world feel less sharp around the edges. The halovian let out a quiet breath, something easing in his shoulders.

“Oh. This is delicious.” Sunday's wings by his ears flutter once. 

After a couple bites, Sunday feels the opportune moment has come.  

“There is … something else I wish to ask you, Mr. Ashveil. Have you ever visited Penacony in the past before?” Sunday asked, the question carrying a quiet weight.

there was the urge to devour this food, the hunger within his soul needing to enjoy this food but also satisfying the eternal black hole within him upon taking the power he has. staring at the food before him as he tries to enjoy it at a human pace, the questions from the halovian came out as ashveil looks up to him and smiles a bit.

"you are far too kind, sunday. i'll happily take this food for compensation for the antics so far in planarcadia. as for this meal, i know the best places, if you want more, i'll let you know~"

he gestures to guide the harmony dove how to eat the bowl, nodding when the other got used to it and chuckles a bit. but the humour dies down, when the comment about him reminding sunday of someone and his head tilts.

❝ i'll always protect you. ❞

❝ i never meant to get this close, but now that i have i can't let you go. ❞

❝ i live for the moments when you look at me. the rest of the time i'm just existing. ❞

❝ i don't like how you make me feel. but i like not being around you even less. ❞

❝ i wish you wouldn't look at me like that. when you look at me like that i...it makes me wanna do things i shouldn't ❞

❝ there's no line i wouldn't cross for you. don't you realize that? ❞

❝ i did this for you. no one else. ❞

❝ i don't like it, but i'll do it for you. ❞

❝ i wonder how much of myself i'll have to give to you—how much i have to lay bare—before you realize how much you're taking. ❞

❝ i'm not trying to fix you. i'm just trying to be your friend. ❞

❝ i'm not um, real good at thank yous. or sorry's. but if you ever need me, i'm there. i owe you one. ❞

❝ i've seen you at your worst and i'm still standing here. ❞

❝ you've seen me at my worst but you're still here... ❞

❝ you can be mad at me, i can take it. i'd rather you be angry than shut me out. ❞

❝ i'm not angry, i'm just scared. ❞

❝ i know you love me, but do you like me? ❞

❝ do you think i'm a good person? ❞

❝ do you think i care for you so little that betraying me would make a difference? of course i'm helping you. ❞

❝ tell me what i can do to show you how i love you. i will give you anything you ask for. ❞

❝ you don't have to keep apologizing. just be here. day in and day out and prove that you're gonna keep showing up. that's all you have to do. ❞

❝ i only sleep well when you're next to me. ❞

❝ i don't want an apology i just want to understand. ❞

❝ i could actually use a hug right now. ❞

❝ i want everyone else to go away, but you can stay. ❞

❝ i actually do care what you think about. you're probably one of the only people whose opinion matters to me. ❞

❝ you always seem to know what i need. ❞

❝ you always seem to know just what i need to hear. ❞

❝ i want you to call me when you need someone. i want to be here for you. ❞

❝ you're the one i wanna call when i need someone. ❞
