"Can I... tell you something, Mama?" He seemed hesitant. 🌙 unprompted! // @chainedheir​

AND SHE LOOKS UP FROM THE SCROLL SHE HAD BEEN READING, curiosity as Oz approaches. The hesitance were immediately noticed, the nervousness filed away.

It seemed to be something important, and the scroll is sat down before her with a mental note of where she had left off, in order to properly turn attention to Oz.

❝  but even so, every now and then i feel a violent stab of loneliness.  ❞  🌙 * 𝐌𝐔𝐑𝐀𝐊𝐀𝐌𝐈 𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐌𝐏𝐓𝐒 // @chainedheir​ // accepting!

SOMETIMES, HE REMINDED HER SO MUCH OF HERSELF, and Kokushibo idly wonders if that is arrogance on her part. Still, it is only a brief thought as she reaches out, nudges Oz to rest at her side as if her presence would offer some form of comfort in and of itself. She hopes it does.

“--you are a new being in a strange land, it’s natural to feel such.”

The only part of his previous home that remained were Gil, after all.

“Do you need company, or do you need familiarity?”

She knew too well--loneliness weren’t as simple as simply being alone. She had spent far too many years feeling such utter isolation even when surrounded by others. Company weren’t always the solution--sometimes it were familiarity, or understanding.

『•• ✂️ ••』 @chainedheir​ whispered: "My, how you've grown, Vincent."

Without truly meaning to, Vincent had made it much of a point to not interact with the Vessalius boy. His sister was enough for him to handle, and thinking about him too long only served to remind him that his brothers loyalties lie elsewhere, and he would fill with a certain inexplicable jealousy. This time was different though. He had barely an idea how he had found him, or why, but when those words fell from the boys lips he knew instantly. He felt worried, sick, and heavy. He wanted to feel relieved, be overjoyed and cling to the man that he once knew. But he couldn't find it in himself. He knew that Glen had not died and would be resurrected again soon, once everything fell into the right places. He knew the rumours that ran through Pandora, but he hadn't though them to be true. Jack had died, hadn't he?
