#she thinks he’s neat

Aether:*opens letter*

“Hello my student! If you’re reading this…”

Aether:…Paimon, I’m going out to the desert and will be back deep into the night.

…..

Aether:Paimon?

He peeks into her open room to see her engrossed in one of her many new murder mystery books. She gives him a thumbs up without looking up from the page. Aether kinda wished he knew her reading tastes earlier. His companion actually looked well off with her own company.

xxxxx

A short boat ride and a detailed map showed him the way into ancient ruins where it didn’t take long for him to find Faruzan under a mural as she fiddled with ancient mechanisms.

Aether:Is class still in session?

Faruzan:Huh? Oh! Hello Aether. Fancy meeting you all the way out here. Did the appeal of my studies finally sink its nails into you?

Aether:*holds letter* Happy Birthday.

Faruzan:…Ah, yes. *red* I can’t believe I actually forgot. Good thing I had the foresight to write the letter!

Aether:Why do I have the feeling you could’ve simply chosen not to be here until after your birthday.

Faruzan:Idle hands lose their talents. If you had a lead an important lead to your journeys around your birthday, you wouldn’t dally now would you? *smiles*

Aether:Fair enough. So are we in this together or am I escorting you back?

Faruzan:I wrapped up what I was curious about. Also as your senior, it would be rather rude to keep you out here after disrupting your day. Let’s head back to my camp at least.

She gathered her belongings and walked beside Aether. Faruzan wasn’t expecting him to casually hand her a small wrapped box, but that didn’t stop her eyes from lighting up.

Faruzan:Going the extra mile are we? If I didn’t know any better I’d say you remembered my birthday without the letter I sent you. *opens box*

Inside were small silver and golden gears and components fashioned into a rather interesting bracelet. Not only did it match her particular style, but from intricate design, Faruzan immediately realized this wasn’t a rushed job. It would in fact take time in advance to make this. She looked over at Aether who smiled smugly at her comment.

Faruzan:Well aren’t we cheeky today? Thank you for the gift.

Aether:I’m always fighting mechanical stuff. I should thank you for giving me something to do with the extra pieces. Now you don’t have to miss me as much.

Faruzan:The nerve! You only just left! I have classes to teach and a variety of other things to keep me preoccupied. You should be flattered if I spare a moment to wonder how you are so-

tick-tick-tick

Aether watched Faruzan look down at the new bracelet she wore as they walked under the desert moon. The analytic woman quickly figured out the accessory was also a puzzle that she solved remarkably quickly; Aether took time to make it but looks like he was severely outwitted in terms of puzzle design. A circle plate on it opened up to reveal moving gears that glowed light blue.

Faruzan:Oh! It functions as a watch?

Aether:Kinda. It’s a timer you can set. I’m sure you could probably make it into a full blown watch but I’m not clever enough for all that. Still, with this timer you can always know how long you’ve been in a ruin. It’ll help you remember people are waiting to see you again.

Stunned into silence. Faruzan was never one to dwell on the past, but his words resonated deeply. She was never bothered by going things alone or getting lost in her research. If Aether hadn’t shown up today, then nothing would’ve been lost. However, now that he was here, Faruzan felt a sense of warmth from having someone waiting for her. So many people had waited for her return. It was…a relief to be on time for once. Enjoying the quiet company, she grabbed his hand as they continued walking through the vast desert.

nsbu fans listen to me, listen, most of the cast hasn't had an Ify moment yet where they talk directly to their ?? alter egos?? and before we see dynamics unfold with other characters I need everyone to consider: Liv and Kingskin as unwilling father and his newfound ride or die child trope that is all

Denix: My English is better than my Portuguese.

Pac: Seriously?

Choke: You can't speak in English, Pac?

Pac: [Heavily accented] I can speak English a little bit if you want, but I don't- I'm not good at English anymore because I'm not used to English.

Choke: You are a liar! Because I saw your English.

Pac: My Eng– you saw my English with Fit? [Laughs]

Choke: Yes.

Pac: That's true, Choke has met Fit before.

Choke: I did! It was at a restaurant.

Pac: Really, it's very cool, very cool.

a concept. to consider. what if. what if there was a Remember Them reprise after the Thunder Saga. "We are not to let them die in vain" except he's the only one left so it's "I am not to let them die in vain." and there's no backing chorus of his men. because. they're all dead.

and the line takes on a whole new meaning now that he's the one who chose to let them die.

(not in vain. it can't have been in vain, it can't have been for nothing. i have to see her. i have to see her, because if i don't make it home, those men died for nothing. the ends always justify the means. i can justify anything as long as it ends with Penelope and Telemachus both in my arms again. but if it doesn't-

but it will. it will. it has to.)

and our- ... -and my comrades will not die in vain...

his flower...

Aww, from the signing doodle board and the Adventurer’s Bible long illustration… He likes flowers he likes shells, just a guy and his flower he picked from the side of the road, what’s not to love. Nature lover boy…
