❛ —– ＬＩＫＥ ＳＴＥＥＬ．

                in all honesty, the vassal was very grateful to the supportive arms. it’s been a while since he last got jumped like that and his body was a bit unstable because of it. he would have probably fallen if not for the brace. he turned a thankful gaze onto the blue king, before letting out a soft almost shaky breath. the adrenaline from the situation finally leaving him, letting him relax once more. that could have been a lot worse, but luckily he would be walking away with only a few bruises this time around. 

                ‘‘ i don’t mind at all. your presence would be more than enough to keep them away fr the time being. ’’ he replied after a moment, feeling more balanced now and less like he is going to face plant at any moment. ‘’ though, i would prefer to be taken back to HOMRA, if it’s not to much to ask. i don’t have the right first aid at my place. probably should consider getting some, now that i think about it.  ’’

     Violet irises fell onto the blond, now walking on his own two feet. His hands returned to his sides as they no longer needed to aid the man, but he kept close enough by him so he’s be able to catch the boy were he to fall.

     His attention was brought to something else though. Did this man tell him to escort him back to HOMRA? It didn’t even cross the king’s mind that this man could be a part of that group, though he guessed the Red King didn’t have much criteria to consider when accepting people under his wing...

                 “Y’know, since everything went down, work around here has been                           quite…. scarce. Reports aside, anyways.”                     New work hasn’t come in for a couple days, which wasn’t too common and Fushimi was uncertain whether he was comfortable with that since he’s actually had to work slower on the reports just so that he could keep himself busy for a longer period of time. The workload wasn’t a problem but he’s a bit concerned what the hell will he even do in his spare time? Sleeping wasn’t going to happen obviously but what?

           “ Perhaps it has started to calm down. “

     Though, some would say that’s a good thing. That would mean they were doing their job correctly, though at this rate there would be no work for them to do. Sadly, Reisi would be lying if he said he didn’t see this coming. Though, he could’t help, but feel a bit uneasy over this. He didn’t have much work to push onto the younger and Munakata was sure the others would rather take care of their assigned projects on their own.

Oh. Hm, it’s true. 

He could leave at any time because that’s just the way he is, isn’t it? Of course it is. Poor Misaki never misses the chance to remind him, but this shit coming from the Captain? There’s a tense in his jaw and the quiet grind of teeth. Well, well. So that’s what it all amounts to, huh? What a shitty fucking end. Since the Captain wants to bait him, fine. Let him get up and make it easy; he can bite. Heading for the door in quick stride, Saruhiko nearly beheads the waitress for being such a careless idiot that spilled scalding hot tea all over him, but that burn is nothing in comparison to the one he just received, oh no.

From his fucking superior. Oh well. That’s just the mindset of a King for you, empathy towards all those beneath them. Have fun sitting on your fucking throne without a third in command to fill the only void that prevents Scepter 4′s operations from falling the hell apart. There. The door isn’t a few feet away anymore, it’s right in front of him and open. Loyal to the end. At least he always knows how to do what he’s told.

Once a traitor, always a traitor.

He walked out.

The younger  watched the older, in his moves he was calculated– calm.

“I’m sorry to say…I have not seen them… I do not know if you care…but you have permission to search HOMRA’s territory for them..”

     There was no outward reaction at her words. He was quite sure she didn’t mean much by them, though it was not like he stormed into HOMRA’s territory with a select group of men behind him. No,in fact, it was just the Blue King himself.

     Cool, violet eyes met red ones, his chest falling as he let out a breath through his nose.

                light brown hues widened in surprise at the casual way the thug was thrown. the power shown just now was one he has only seen from someone in a clan, and the way this man holds himself ( including the uniform ) led tatara to believe that he was being saved by a king. the blue king. confirming his earlier thoughts when the man first appeared. he wondered if the man knew who he was saving. tatara doesn’t really make himself known as apart of the red clan, as he is never apart of the big battles really. not that he thought munakata reisi would just leave someone getting attacked.still, even he would admit that he never would have expected to be saved from his attackers by the blue king himself. maybe it would have been reasonable to see someone from the blue clan, considering the area of town they are in. but the blue king? never in his wildest dreams.

                  even so, he was glad someone had happened upon them. these men did not seem the least bit worried about tatara’s own health. and from the way they had been talking, it was almost like the vassal wasn’t going to make it out of this one alive. they thugs who are after homra were starting to get more violent. he could only guess what mikoto would say in regards to this attack. considering what happened to the last group who hurt tatara.

              his gaze moved from the thrown thug and onto the man in blue in front of him, eyes searching munakata’s face before landing on the offered hand. a small breath left his lips, ignoring the pain his body was in from the hits he already received, and he placed his hand in the outstretched one. “ i’m better than i would be if you hadn’t shown up.”  he admitted softly, grateful for the help up as his legs were a bit shaky from all the running. he

    Munakata withdrew his hand, though he was ready to catch the man if he were to fall. Slowly, he took a step forward, waiting each time for Tatara to follow in stride. A supportive arm was behind the blond at all times as he quickly caught the shakiness of his legs, his other hovering slighting by the man’s front. How long had he been in a state before the Blue King’s arrival?

    The corner of the king’s lips turned down into a frown as he saw bruises forming on what would have been flawless skin. The man didn’t look like he fought much or at all, as a matter of fact. So why would those men gang up on him? He seemed friendly enough, not the type to egg people on past their aggressive points.

Sigh.

It’s getting crowded in here. So much for peace and quiet but for the sake of not having to stomach the Lieutenant’s disgusting bean paste, having to deal with idiots for just little under an hour is punishment he’d rather take. He ignores the water and secures himself a steaming hot cup of green tea, pale fingers twitching against the ceramic surface damn near brimming over the edge with aromatic liquid.

Ignoring the mix of passing looks and fixed stares, a half lean over that table has him catching the Captain by his gaze. There’s truth to his dull toned words and a bite of amusement.

❛ — You’re right. I still follow a reckless superior, his orders and deal with idiots on a daily basis. .. but if I remember correctly, that reckless superior wanted me because I’m the only one capable of handling two weapons and auras.  ❜

     How narrow minded the boy could be. Only wanted him for his power.Of course, that was a benefit at times, but Munakata wasn’t so single-minded that he’d only search for power and brutes to fight alongside him. If that were him then he might as well change his name to Suoh Mikoto.

     A huff of air passed his nostrils, though it wasn’t in the same light amusement as it was before.
