The Castle Hidden In the Shadows

[AMystery]

*appears walking around the edge of the roof, at quite a pace, quite annoyed.*

 

[Yoshitsune]

Don't call me lady! Amy is just fine, you're not my follower. *still pacing the wall* ...why are you here?

 

[Yoshitsune]

"your nephew asked me to check up on you. he worries about you. he wants everyone to get along, considering he is a diplomat first a warrior second."

 

[Ririku]

Riku: *sits on a deformed tree stump* Nothing....to see... nothing to do....nowhere to go....just like the realm of darkness...just plot....

 

[AMystery]

"your nephew asked me to check up on you. he worries about you. he wants everyone to get along, considering he is a diplomat first a warrior second."

I do not care about this worlds diplomacy right now. *still pacing* and I told him not to worry, it is not his matter. She just...*calms slightly and sits on the edge of the roof* has no right.

 

[Yoshitsune]

"well my la.." Toshiie caught himself. "Amy. if you would like to talk about it. im here. it is never good to hold feeling in. as being's of the dark we can be easily consumed by any dark energy we hold in. hate, war, rage death it strengthens us, but love, joy, forgiveness and the little things is whats makes us human. if you do not want to talk about it that's fine but remember i'm always here."

 

[Howard]

Howard stood up lazily and yawned stretching his arms upward over his head. He walked past the couple from earlier. He turned toward Becca and began to walk towards her slowly. He heard her frustrated tone and sat down on the roof next to her letting his legs hang from the edge slightly. Is something wrong?
He spoke with a compassionate tone as she seems to calm down and as she does Howard leans back slightly peering up towards the sky. He paused and waited a moment but continued to speak after pausing for that brief moment. You know you can talk to me about anything be it of this world the next or even the one after.
Howard smiled a bit trying to lighten the mood enough to carry on a conversation without an awkward tone hanging over head.

*sighs* don't I know it...you're one of the only people that still thinks I could be even slightly human these days...*she keeps her head down, hood covering her face* it's almost over...so go back to your lord and lady already. She's just not happy with my reaction is all...

 

[Yoshitsune]

Toshiie turned towards howard. "ahh howard. it has been some time. the last time we meet was during the Balko Campaigns. "

 

[Howard]

Howard tilted his head back letting Becca speak. He had interrupted something he shouldn't have so he quieted down a bit allowing her to vent her frustrations on Toshiie. Toshiie then spoke about times long past about something from Howard's past something he still tries to forget about. Indeed it has been a while and I remember them well, too well. I still have dormant power laying somewhere deep within no matter how many times I purge myself of it, it builds up over time. Honestly I'd much rather forget completely I lost people dear to me from those times long past.
Howard seemed to speak in a calm monotone voice speaking of it bothered him but outwardly he tried to show no signs of it. He sat with his legs off the side of the castle next to Becca waiting for her to calm down and acknowledge him.

*senses Howard's present but doesn't dare to look up at him in fear he'd shy away, trying to regain her composure* ...can you both talk else where, please?

Howard looks back down towards her with a confused look. He began to speak, his tone was oddly off almost different then usual, his emotionless monotone speech was full of what sounded to be regret and remorse. Did I do or say something wrong? I didn't mean to intrude and I apologize-... it's just been a while since we last spoke.
He stood up once more as he turned and began to walk away, he lifted his right hand scratching the back of his neck as he usually did when confused or lost before returning to his usual spot he didn't speak again after that. He remained silent back in the shadows away from everyone else.

*summons her scythe, hooking the blade around him to stop him walking any further. she still doesn't lift her head or turn to look at him but she speaks softly* please stay...

Howard turns around once more sitting back down. He moved in close to her and placed his arm around her shoulder trying to comfort her. You know if something is bothering you I'm here and if you just want some silent company all you have to do is say so.
Howard rested his arm around her shoulder holding her somewhat closely he didn't push the issue any further but he wanted her to know he was there for her sincerely. With his right arm over her shoulder he reached out gripping her free hand gently with his left he didn't speak again until addressed.

I just...it's hard being the good guy sometimes...*says nothing more, just leaning on his side in silence, still reluctant to raise her head as she tries to regain her human form*

He sat there listening letting her rest up against his side. I know it's hard especially for you. I want to free you from it, even if I could just take a little bit of the burden off of you and help ease your situation I would. I care for you a lot and all I want to do is see you smile and for you to be sincerly happy.
Howard continued to gently hold her hand noticing her struggling to return to a human appearance. He held her a bit closer and whispered to her quietly. Please don't force yourself. I'm here no matter what.
He rested his head on top of hers again not speaking giving her time to think and speak.

 

[Ririku]

Riku: *continues to walk down the lonesome road searching for the Castle Shrouded in Shadows* I feel...like I have been walking forever....If I was not feeding on the darkness... I would starve....*Riku spies another lowly Shadow and summons his soul eater* Strike Raid!!!! *Riku tosses the blade at the Shadow slicing it in two. He then runs over and gathers up the darkness it left behind and begins to drink it* I will find this place....my suffering will be worth it

Pain grabes Ryn's arm before he slams her into the roof. "Three things, one: i dont care who you are, you do not put your hands on a lady...no matter how upset you are! two: there is a newborn trying to sleep, please be quiet! and finally three: Ryn, you are not the king of this palace, so please respect it....Do i make myself clear?"
Pain grabs the hilt of his blade, leaving it in the sheath in case Ryn tries to attack.

Ryn just pouts and slowly melts into a shadow "I hate being your brother sometimes"
