♫ ❚❙❘ Guild masters were always famous in their own right, at least those who run guilds which such high reputations. However, to those in the music world, miss Hawthorne was famous in her own right. A woman who used mainly classical instruments like herself. By design of course, Olexa's mother was a fan of the genre, and raised her o learned those instruments first.

"...? Oh -- wow. When you said you were findin' me somethin' I didn't think you'd go all out."

He blinked at the ensemble, and had to admit it looked great. A suit all sleek black with conservative but elegant silver embroidering, a violet necktie to match the usual button-down he'd worn before joining. Ichiya had put thought into this. The gesture was in earnest, he was sure, and the suit was definitely one of the nicer ones he'd seen even around the guild.

Maybe even a little too nice, for someone like him.

He could at least try it on, a part of him chided. Sounded an awful lot like someone he knew, too...

"I dunno, Ichiya. Ain't it a bit....much? For me, at least."

[ PROMPT ;; ACCEPTING ]

I do want to base this off of your headcanon, just a little bit. Having Ichiya know of Leo, and the way Karen had mistreated him ( along with other spirits ) really helped him open up to the idea of finally standing his ground. To see that others ( including Master Bob ) could witness the abuse so easily, and in some way acknowledge it, that brewed an idea inside Leo's head for a while till he did finally succeed in doing so. His banishment was kept under wraps, no one besides Master Bob knew of his situation and even though Leo held a high profile in the human world, his appearance changed too much for recognition. He hoped to run into Ichiya one day, to explain the situation or answer any questions he may have had, but above all else, he'd like to thank Ichiya in acknowledging his position. Leo knows that if anyone's words of disgust or reason to be directed at Karen for her mistreatments, it still would've ultimately been Leo who had to take charge in the matter. Ichiya's empathetic apology for Karen was something he was thankful for, though he could never express it. Having someone see him as a being that bleed, and suffered the way a human did was the push he needed to demand the respect Spirits deserved.

I believe that Leo opens his gate one day just to revisit Blue Pegasus. Some time after Tenrou happens, just for his reputation to be dwindled enough for comfort. That's when him and Ichiya reconnect. Proper gentlemen, as they are, they have distinguished conversations over tea or fancy wines. Their interactions would be long, and have depth. Mostly Leo talking on his life as a Spirit; past Summoners, history, and a little insight to some noble gossip. They would also discuss things about his banishment, how he survived so long and the things he put his time into. Them having the same interest in literature would bring their occasionally meetings to a start, giving them a reason to meet often and have a strong bond.

@varietales - kagura

zilla bit her lip. she knew she had to say something. but it was hard. words were hard sometimes. she didn't know how the others did it, how they could just ... say what was on their mind so much. didn't they have this huge wall in their head? why did zilla have it and others didn't? she felt her heart racing in her chest and looked down and away from kagura's kind, consoling face.

the problem was actually quite simple - she had a dream about her mama. her mama who died so that zilla could live. and though most days she knew in her heart that her mama would just be happy that zilla had a life, a family now in fiore, their destination... the words felt like ash. and kagura doesn't know that zilla's mamawas cut apart by mages who were scared of her, of zilla. it was zilla's fault though she doesn't remember what she did in the first place. why did her mama have to die?

actions speak louder than words prompt

today was another adventure through the mountains which was some of zilla's favorite days. it was sunny and bright, which was amazing in of itself and she was with her sister, kagura. simon was somewhere, too, probably on the lookout for any bears while dad was focused on making the map. zilla giggled to herself as she waltzed over near a tree where she could hear birds singing - if she was correct on their calls, they were mountain chickadees. she peeled her eyes through the branches and sure enough, saw them up high and twittering about with their small bodies. they were so cute and so small. zilla did her best to watch them quietly, memorizing the scene so she may sketch it later.

moments later, she felt a tap on her shoulder and turned to see her sister, kagura. kagura was not That much older than her, but sometimes it felt like it. zilla wondered if it was their height difference.

kagura was smiling at her and in her hands were some of the flowers around. zilla's face formed a smile immediately and she took the offered flowers. kagura knew a lot about flowers and somehow, always managed to find the prettiest ones around. these ones were purple, too!

Had he regretted that incident? Abso-fucking-lutely. Had Jenny been teasing him about it mercilessly since she'd recovered her composure? Almost non-stop. It was to the point she'd even gotten Bixlow in on it.
