The observation wasn’t exactly wrong as it is a winter 𝘞𝘖𝘕𝘋𝘌𝘙𝘓𝘈𝘕𝘋 no matter where you go but ONE place. “You’ll probably have to find Dan Heng or Mr Yang for the specifics if you’re interested in finding out how this happened.” Either way this place should be..somewhat of a cakewalk for her as her own way of traveling the terrain was just a marvel to look at no matter how many times he bears witness.

“There are a few people I’d like you to meet down there and some of them absolutely love stories.” Namely the member of the moles, when it came down to her own power and swordplay, OH yeah his little sister would fall 𝙞𝙣 𝙡𝙤𝙫𝙚 with what she can do.

It was silent, not a response from him as his legs continued to flail, even seeming to be moving deeper and deeper until finally, the young man pops out of the container extremely empty-handed but there was a specimen atop his head..something that looked akin to a cat and furniture. ‘Mew’, the experimented mewled rather sad from atop his head.

His sentence paused as he spotted someone near him..oooh, this must have been the muffled sound he had heard while he was on his dumpster adventure. Good thing he had his little specimen atop his head, it gave him the scent of mint, figuring that these little guys act as great sources of clean scents made dumpster diving even easier as they literally removed whatever made something stink out of existence. “Hey there, this must have looked weird for you, I was looking for something. Hope I didn’t disrupt your day.”

The sight in front of her took her by surprise and had her staring for a good while ... but it's not the time for her to just stand by and do nothing ! Someone is seemingly stuck halfway into a trash can !

(‘emotional would be the word. But still I am a stranger to her, so I can’t really blame her for being apprehensive of me at first. And what’s this 𝚐𝚒𝚕 she mentioned. ‘On hand’, hmm does that mean it’s the name of the currency? First thing’s first is find a way of getting my hands on some.’) His mind ran a marathon with his thoughts as he came to the decision, after getting out of this ‘wilderness’ he would beckon this young woman for one more favor.

━━  ❝   𝐈-..𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐤 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐬𝐨 𝐦𝐮𝐜𝐡. 𝐲𝐨𝐮'𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐨𝐨 𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐝.   ❞

She said she wanted NOTHING in return, that was a big deal as she stated he doesn’t have much to offer in the first place. “Speaking of not having..gil on hand. Would you know a place where I can make one? Kitchen work, things that needs fixing? (‘not that I’m much of a fixer.’) anything like that? Hmmm if monsters are things people need help taking care of..I’m not so bad in a fight..despite you having to rescue me.” At the very least now that he’s gotten his bearings, he assumes the monsters wouldn’t be much of a threat to him anymore..probably not the smaller ones in this section of the slums’ wilderness.

sometimes it was better caring for animals instead of humans. animals never leave. they stay to remain loyal to you and always listen to what you need to get off your chest. when it comes down to it, people don't. they just don't well . . care. and if they do ? they show it in weird ass ways. maybe, that made tifa to be more stoic and trust only very few people. in the past she trusted so easily. but now ? not anymore. her kindness and respect for others can only go for so far. her crimson hues had looked at the other and seen he had pulled out something from his pocket. what was that kind of electronic object ? was it a phone ? in midgar, there wasn't much of those around and if there were.. they were outdated. if he was trying to call someone.. good luck. there was no such thing here.

❛ it's fine . . i'm an emotional being so some things get to me than usual. ❜ normally, tifa was a lot kinder but since he was a mere stranger, she frankly didn't know him. for all she knows, he could be affiliated with shinra or sephiroth. can't take any chances. being hestiate at first, the brunette extended her hand slowly and shook it before taking a step back. ❛ um well.. i'm tifa. nice to meet you, i suppose. i don't need anything in return. since i know you aren't from here, i doubt you have any items or gil on hand, anyways. ❜

Even with his layers of clothing the Trailblazer still felt the cold creeping against him, so bad that he’d even hug himself as the frigid wind howls in the area whilst the snow fell rather violently. (‘She’s amazing, how could she tolerate this kind of weather wearing hardly anything?’) He gazes at her with such wonder as his mind continues to ponder theories regarding her immunity to cold weather.

However, upon hearing her question the young man quickly nods his head. “T-that’s ve-v-very kind of y-you thanksss.” Oh he was becoming colder by the moment as the temperatures around them continued to drop for him until his entire frame resembled that of a shaking leaf ready to fall from its branch. “My n-name is C-C-Caelus..n-nice to meet you.” His eyes caught the sight of his own breath leaving his lips.

@sluggerstylc - 🌧 (i mean since they'll be in belobog..let's change the rain to a blizzard XD)

Normally, she couldn't care less about the shift in weather, if having shoulders exposed so boldly, wasn't any indication of it but there is someone else out & about.

Hinamori can't possibly just ignore them, especially when there is no telling how strong the blizzard is bound to pick up.

''My home is closeby, if you'd like to stay warm'', and she was heading back either way, from a grocery run.

He spoke, there is a plan of actually buying physical gifts for the conductor, but before he would engage in the shopping aspect of his leisure visit he would contend himself with a little exploration. The trailblazer gets to keep incredible photos AND he gets to explore this wonderful planet as well, it was a win-win as far as he’s concerned. “A friend of mine is really too busy to enjoy the sights with us..so I figured why not bring the sights to him?”

It seemed like a wonderful plan on paper, though this person seemed rather interesting himself. “You look like you might know cool places to visit. I..might not have money to compensate for a tour but-..i mean..” He wanted to ask for a tour of the best sights but again, he did not have the necessary credits to fund such a request so it was for this reason Caelus remained silent as a toddler too afraid to ask their parents for extra sweets after a meal. Heck his fingers were even seen fidgeting ever-so-slightly.

He felt that it wasn’t in his place to ask such a favor being nothing more than a stranger to this person. (‘I might be overstepping if I just ask this guy to show me around.’)

𝐇𝐈𝐒 𝐄𝐘𝐄𝐒 𝐖𝐄𝐑𝐄 𝐀𝐋𝐖𝐀𝐘𝐒 𝐒𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐏, perfect and ideal to the point where they could terrify even the biggest perfectionist.  The bicolor pupils saw the smallest elements that escaped the eyes of typical, ordinary people who passed him.  He believed they would stop for a moment to notice what he himself was staring at when the long strands of hair did not take away his space to observe.  The times when he tied them in a very messy ponytail were gone  -  just as the magic overflowed when he had to accept his new name in this world.  Even here, in a world and space-time that delighted him, he couldn't get used to his new self. 

A finger tucked under a soft white glove over which a gold bracer was clenched tightly lifted, indicating to the photographer the perfect panel.  He knew this planet, its vegetation and animals, but not its people. Their behavior and indifference frightened him  -  but from among the crowd emerged the only one who looked in the same place as himself.  A small smile appeared on Yael's face when the stranger took a picture of a small family of sparrows.  ❝ It's nothing for the price of momentary delight. ❞  He replied to his words when he allowed himself to look in the boy's direction.  ❝ It's not too often that I find people who are looking for the perfect place - or maybe time. Nevertheless... Do you think a photo of tiny birds will be perfect as a souvenir from this planet ? You don't look like a typical tourist in my eyes. ❞  He asked, trying to see the slightest change of reaction on the stranger's face.

HOW did this man instantly make HIM the bad guy in the situation? And Sampo’s mouth just continues to run faster than any robot CAN go. Then just like that Sampo was really able to pin the blame on him, as though this was Caelus’ own fault rather than the ‘merchant’ giving him something that was faulty to begin with. (‘I have a feeling if I opened my mouth he’d just find a way to twist my words or even make it seem that I’M the one that broke it. Serves me right for grabbing something before testing it first.’) The young man thought at the back of his mind before parting his lips to speak.

“What about a free repair? I just bought this from you yesterday, there’s still a 30-day warranty at best.” Or at least there’s supposed to be something as a warranty when it came to purchasing wares. (‘Hopefully he wouldn’t be able to flip the script this time..but honestly, this is Sampo I’m talking about.’) The man might have a charismatic tongue to even convince a machine it was made out of flesh and not metal.But right now he only hoped he could get this device fixed in order to control the stronger machines around the area.

     It's not the first time a client had come across a faulty product delivered by the hands of one Sampo Koski. Promised quality for something that they need, couldn't do without, didn't want to miss out on, along with a smattering of jargon that really held no meaning to him or the other person in the transaction. All part of the act  —   &&  as long as they weren't a subject matter expert, he was golden. 

     &&  it wasn't the first time the mercenary had taken advantage of the Trailblazer  &&  it wouldn't be the last. Though, to Sampo's credit, when it came to Caelus, he wasn't aiming on putting the Nameless in an impossible spot. Sure, it might have been nice to force the guy into calling upon Sampo for assistance, but that was not his goal. It amused him  &&  sometimes he was able to get a laugh out of Caelus. Good enough for the Fool. 

          ❝ Ah, it needs servicing already ?  ❞  Countered with a questioning raise of his blue brow.  ❝ Didn't I just hand that thing off to you ?  How'd you end up breaking it already, friend ?  I'll have to charge you if you want me to fix anything. ❞  Completely glossed over the accusation.

(“How am I going to answer this in a way that he’ll get me?”) The trailblazer ponders and ponders, there were so many things he wanted to say but he felt not one of them would have hit his point 𝙝𝙤𝙢𝙚. (“I can tell him it’s the thrill of finding lost treasure, I mean how could people NOT get it? It’s the perfect place to hide something valuable and one day maybe just MAYBE that hard work will be worth it. But..can I confide in Dan Feng?”) Caelus took a glance at the High Elder and immediately had gotten the answer to his mental question.

“I guess it’s an impulse I can’t control.” That was a safe answer, hell even his facial expression turned to a rather stoic one to help add some weight to what he just said. It would at least give the impression that he realizes that what he’s doing is simply a problem he possesses no capability of solving anytime soon. Not that he’d want to.

‘Could this person be a nameless too?’ Caelus wondered in the back of his mind..welll maybe not a part of the express exactly but maybe they were a trailblazer in their own right. Still, Caelus could not help but rub the back of his neck.

Especially if him being lost would just be at the expense of a local’s good time. ‘Though, just who is he I wonder, maybe it would be better if I got introductions out of the way.’ The trailblazer thought once again at the back of his mind. “My name’s Caelus, and yeah I’m definitely lost..I’m from..pretty far away and me and my friends came here for a visit really.”

A few encouraging words here and there to allow his mental to have the capacity to continue what he was doing, but alarm bells began ringing within his mind the moment she stopped him from massaging her..then she would proceed to look at him. ‘Uh oh.’ The flag that waved in his mind was as scarlet as the woman’s hair as he sensed nothing but danger to him. But then she spoke about 𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧 𝙥𝙖𝙧𝙩𝙨 of her beginning to tense up now, not just her shoulders.

That statement along causes his to swallow air as both eyes were now reconnected with her gaze..oh what a look in her eye. So seductive and dare he say it? Sexy. ‘I’m going to break…there’s no- wait no. You still have the element of ignorance on your side.’

━━  ❝   𝐈-𝐈'𝐦 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐈'𝐦 𝐟𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐠.   ❞

‘Brilliant…if only your face wasn’t as red as a lobster right now..too late for that now. Keep a 𝙘𝙤𝙤𝙡 expression.’ His face betrays his mental intentions as the expression he wore was extremely sheepish, like a sheep in the presence of a hungry wolf. Aeons he could not even make face contact with her as he turned away YET again with a hand at the back of his neck. “You mean your temple’s tense? Yes the heat would do that to you.” He spoke softly as he turned to face her once more..but it was all in vain.

As soon as he turned his flushed face away, the girl openly showed a smirk on her cherry lips. "Alright, if you say so..."

She continued to watch him amused, until she put her hands onto his, making him stop. "I think my shoulders are very relaxed now... thanks." Her fingers trailed over his hands up his arms slightly, leaving a ticklish feeling behind. "Although.. there are other parts of me that suddenly feel very tense..." With a bite down on her lip, the innuendo was clear as day. Surely he knew what she was talking about, right?

She waited for his reaction, a moment, two, then she got up and suddenly turned around to him, standign right in front of him. "Won't you help me, Caellus..?", she purred with a slow bat of her eyelashes and placed her hands onto his chest, ready to watch his face explode again.

[sluggerstylc-a]

‘Cute..that’s one way to put it I guess.’ He thought, but was internally happy that his nervousness never turned her off from him. It’s just..he was giving her a massage..he didn’t know if she suggested this because she wanted to tease him or perhaps she had noticed that there were times he would have a longing expression on his face for her. Hmmm perhaps both reasons would be plausible for her. Either way..at the very least it seemed he was doing pretty good for his first time…on a person. 

He continued on to massage her, taking her advice and had gone just a little rougher this time around, fingers digging into the right spots of her flesh, knuckles even digging into her skin as he continued to knead her flesh before he turned his gaze towards the side when she mentioned his red face. 

━━  ❝   𝐈'𝐦 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐞.   ❞

‘Oh who am I kidding?’ His mind retorts against his very own statement but still the trailblazer persevered and continues to massage her. ‘That’s right..just focus on her very soft skin..never mind that she’s practically built like a dream goddess and just do your job. She’s just bluffing..you can do this, a calm mind breeds excellent results. There isn’t anything else she can do or say that would make you blush darker..so just persevere.’

She laughed, sending her shoulders into a little shake. Oh, how precious he was! "You're so cute, you know that? Hahaha.. worrying over me like that.." Her laughter died down and she turned her head forward again, away from him, a quiet smile still gracing her lips. "There's no need, really. I'm not made of sugar, I won't melt in the rain like they say." A sigh, followed by her closing her eyes to enjoy his hands on her shoulders and the soft pressure on her muscles.

Another through pass? Hehe.. Sera leaned back, her frame hitting his stomach. "Of course.. I'll tell you exactly how you make me feel..." Her head leaned against him and turned up, to meet his eyes. Her smile was quite seductive as she looked up to him like this.

"Oh? What's that? Your face is all red.. You'd let me know if this is too much for you, right?", she threw his words right back at him, amused to no end.

Which character trope are you?

The sidekick

The friends and helpers of the main hero. They can be almost any type of hero playing a secondary role, a normal character observing the action, or be used as comic relief -- sometimes all three. Typically they are a foil to the hero, and this is often underscored by their dramatically different appearance. You like the be the friend of everyone around you and help out others whenever you can. You often hold the role of someone's self control and you can be very supportive when you have to be. You're a bright, ray of sunshine in your friends life and they love having you around!

" Labeled as nothing but a sidekick , though I suppose I do offer my help and support around the express and to the people that need me, so I suppose I see how it came to that conclusion. "

The trailblazer does not dare finish the sentence..because he lacks the courage in  the moment.  How was a stranger supposed to admit that the other was beautiful??? ‘That’s right, If i out myself and say she’s beautiful I’ll just look like a creep.’ He spoke in the back of his mind, that was definitely no way to make new friends in a mysterious world. “You just look like…someone I know. The resemblance is uncanny.” A harmless lie but his tone made it seem legitimate at the very least. Although..now that he’s mentioned it..she really DOES look familiar. With shorter hair and with a bit of squinting this maiden would be a good stand-in for March. “Oh..my name is Caelus by the way.”
