The last few weeks have been tiring and healing in equal parts. He had been tending to his Lord as he dealt with the consequences of losing his Gnosis, only departing to quash the dark and demonic remnants of old Gods that would occasionally seep through the cracks in the Earth. These things were ceaseless, but he was used to that by now; though providing round-the-clock care had presented its own challenges, it had also given him more time than usual to pause and take rest.

 (  Mostly because it was demanded of, in one way or another, by his Lord - orders that we would never dream to refuse.  )

He’s been awake in their bed at Wangshu Inn for a some time now, as sleep rarely takes him, and never for long. Honey-brown eyes would flit from door to window every once in a while, surveying their surroundings for a threat that never came, before inevitably settling back on the sleeping form of his former God. They remained upon him now, as the man seemed to stir.

                  “ Ah, there you are, Milday~. ”

The formality is more a term of endearment these days, for their bond has grown so strong that it was not really a requirement. Within the four walls of Saber there is not a soul he trusts more, and he has missed her in her absence, even if they had not been parted for long.

It takes Qiqi a few hours to realise that her herb-gathering quest has taken her beyond the map in her notebook, and into territories unknown. She stands in a place with entirely different topography now, mountains replaced with rolling hills and wooded straits. Though her memory did not often serve her well, in this instance, it could not serve her at all.

In his defence, Rufus had been hoping to bring some levity to the room in which they currently stood, and he could usually count on the other man to meet his insults in turn. But perhaps it was slightly unfair of him to make such comments on what must already be a stressful day for their resident white dragon.

Velvet-gloved hands read out to fix Sting’s tie, and readjust his collar so that it sat flat against his neck. The least he could do to balm-over the sting of his words.

Canon Divergence:

Rufus, like many of my Fair.y Tai.l muses, is canon divergent. 

He does not leave Sabertooth. Under any circumstance. This is a really weird decision on M*shima’s part and one I most assuredly do not vibe with. I wouldn’t put him past the desire for more power - he is a Saber after all - but he wouldn’t leave the guild in order to do so. Which leads me to the next point...

Whilst I do vibe with Sabertooth’s morals improving slightly after the GMG, I do not like the idea that they become Fair.y Tai.l 2.0 and revolve around nakama-power. In line with some other Saber portrayals on this website, they are still a proud and powerful guild - a guild in their own right.

Extra notes:

He can be mean and rude, especially to those with whom he isn’t entirely familiar. And also to those he cares for, because bullying is low-key his love language.

I can’t say he’s particularly fair in battle because his magic literally clones & he uses tactics (many of which are underhanded) to defeat opponents.

Bisexual with a preference for men.

Many fancy hats.
