[liberare]

I'm fine.

[ just don't look at his hand as he moves it behind himself

also how good is your sense of smell ]

Shall we continue?

[rootless]

[Really really fucking good what are you hiding]

[liberare]

[ my chewed on hand.... ]

[rootless]

[... Honey.

Reaches out to grab that arm, tugging his hand into view.]

You're fine.

[liberare]

[ bleeding is fine ok ]

It's fine.

[rootless]

You know, I like you, but you're kind of a fucking idiot.

[Taking that hand in both of his, and then there's a warm tingly green glow repairing the wounds.]

[liberare]

[ ... oh

well that's..

lifting his other hand up, and smoothing a bit of Tsuyukusa's hair away from his eyes, warmly ]

... Thank you.

[rootless]

[Leans into that touch, eyes sliding half shut...

Then pulls away and walks through the door.]

[liberare]

[ ........... NOPE HOLDING ONTO HIS HAND ]

Wait.

[rootless]

[Rolls his eyes.]

Someone bit you. I'm going to tell them off, nothing more.

[liberare]

[ well you could but there's a dead body in there

like a really gross black thing with tentacles and shit

keeping his hold on him firm ]

It is unnecessary.

[rootless]

[... Catching a glimpse.]

Oh. Guess I missed my window of opportunity.

[liberare]

[ ... ]

Let's continue.

[ reasserting his grip on him, firm, and pulling him away... ]

[rootless]

[Goes easily...]

good job me

[liberare]

[ so the rest of the village is mostly... young people. and like how it was in the castle, they're all super stoked to see him and there's a whole lot of attention and "who's your new friend" and all that. it's not a big place, but there is a whole lot of farmland and trees and even a few roaming livestock. ]

eh I've done it too

[rootless]

[Tsuyu seems pretty comfortable, this time around, though not exactly friendly so much as tolerant, so maybe he really was just startled the first time.]

[liberare]

[ just like an animal

how cute...

eventually they'll reach the end of the town, and the forest that extends beyond stretches out deeper than what they'd traveled through. ]

Do you know what I was doing in the cottage?

[rootless]

No. Do you feel like explaining?

[liberare]

Do you wish to know?

[rootless]

Yes.

[liberare]

[ ... ]

Are you familiar with lunaglyphs?

[rootless]

[Wrinkles his brow]

Moon writing?

[liberare]

It is not something that is often publicized. But...

[ turning Tsuykusa's hand over, and squeezing gently over his fingers. ]

It is what enables us to use magic in this world. Those that are able to be marked by a lunaglyph and, consequently, utilize it, are considered blessed. Those that cannot are unblessed.

[rootless]

... Sounds unnecessarily complicated.

[Curls his fingers a little, trying to catch at Sigmund's hand.]

[liberare]

[ allowing him, lacing their fingers together with a small smile. ]

Sometimes it is necessary. But it comes with a cost, as do most things.

[ pulling him... closer?? if he can. and then resting his chin on Tsuyukusa's head, like he's trying to comfort himself or Tsuyu. ]

Should one ever lose control, or be overwhelmed by the power, then they will start to transform into a creature we call Vermiform. When it progresses past the point of no return... then there is only one thing we can do.
