Chapter 8: Obbligato

(Obbligato: An instrumental part which is essential in a piece of music)

“Okay, okay, serious this time, please? I’ll give you a kiss if you try hard enough,” you promised, grinning up at Daniela as you did. A week had passed since your talk in the library, with the two of you spending most days together, and you were progressing nicely with the musical lessons. Still, your girlfriend (you would never get tired of saying that word) was prone to getting a tad ‘distracted’. By you, usually. Not that it was intentional by any means. There was only so much you could do to keep her focused when the two of you were this close together.

“I could just kiss you anyway,” Daniela teased, leaning in with familiar intent. Right before your lips touch, however, she pulls back and smirks. “But if you insist, I can handle the challenge.” Then she’s turning back towards the piano, carefully finding the starting position. Even with her prior experience, you were impressed with how much she had already learned, and couldn’t help but be immensely proud of her. If anyone could meet Lady Dimitrescu’s expectations within a three month timeframe, it was the two of you. Except, of course, you still had to double-check just what her expectations were.

In the meantime, you were excited to hear your girlfriend play through the sheet music you had written up. Most of what you were working with had come from the family’s storage room, but you had also found some blank sheets, and figured it couldn’t hurt to create songs of your own. This particular one was relatively simple. It had been based on a song from a game you had played years ago, and only posed a moderate challenge due to its interesting rhythm. Daniela had seemed to enjoy playing it, with you even hearing her practice the song outside of your lessons, but had so far today refused to play it seriously.

Finally that was going to change. Once she found the starting notes, she nodded to herself, then started playing. For the first time today her expression is stern, focused. Seeing her like this was nice. She was always cute, you just thought that she was extra cute like this. But you tried not to let yourself get too distracted, knowing that you couldn’t give her feedback if you didn’t pay attention. In your head you “play along”, fingers miming the movements, knowing that it would help you catch any possible mistakes. Throughout the piece there are only a couple that you catch, none of them being severe enough to ruin the experience. Finishing with a little flourish, Daniela returns her gaze to you, grinning expectantly.

“Well? I seem to recall you promising me a reward,” she said, perking a brow. Laughing a little, you roll your eyes, before moving in to give her exactly what she wanted. Both of you are smiling into the kiss, enjoying every moment of it. Soon enough Daniela is running a hand through your hair, and pressing against you more, tilting her head just enough to deepen the kiss. You’re blushing hard now, thoughts going everywhere other than music. It’s not until you pull back for air that you remember what you’re supposed to be doing right now.

“As wonderful as this is… we still have a few more songs to go over,” you murmured, despite how much you wanted to keep kissing Daniela. By the way she groaned in frustration, you figured she felt the same way, more or less. “Hey, don’t fret too much. Think of this as an opportunity to earn a few more rewards,” you teased, gently patting her on the shoulder. For a moment she simply pouts, but eventually she sighs and gets ready to play another song…

------------------------------------

Rushing up the steps, practically two at a time, you desperately hoped that you wouldn’t be late. This was your third “update meeting” with Lady Dimitrescu, which by itself was enough to make you a nervous wreck. Add in the fact that this was the first time you’d be meeting alone? And in her personal study, no less? Well, it was safe to say that you were terrified. You hadn’t even been told why things were different this time. No, you were about as clueless as could be, given the circumstances.

By the time you make it your Lady’s study, you cannot tell whether your heart is racing due to stress or physical exertion. Regardless, you make it there in short time, arriving precisely at the scheduled hour. After taking a moment to settle your nerves, you briefly knock on the chamber door. There’s the sound of movement from inside before the way opens. Lady Dimitrescu has to bend a little to see out, but quickly smiles when she meets your gaze. Which was rather unexpected. The last time you had met with her she had been distanced, although still polite. Then again, Daniela had also been with you, and the focus was, as always, on her.

“Lady Dimitrescu,” you greeted, giving a short bow per customs. Then you were being waved in, brought over to a small sitting area, where you waited for permission to sit down. Once it was given, you relaxed a little. Maybe I don’t have as much reason to be nervous as I thought, you muse.

“Please, make yourself comfortable. There are no reasons for you to be unsettled, as far as I am aware,” Lady Dimitrescu said, smile disappearing for a moment at the end. But it’s back as quickly as it had vanished. Did she suspect something? Perhaps she had seen the way Daniela looked at you, or even overheard the whisperings of your roommates. Both thoughts do little other than renew your anxiety. Noticing this, Alcina frowns and shakes her head. “I was merely joking. Now, let us get to the reason for our meeting: How are Daniela’s lessons fairing? There is only so much I can glean from listening.” Glad to have something to think about other than your secret relationship with your boss’ daughter, you nodded and began explaining.

“Lady Daniela is making outstanding progress, in my opinion. Even with her occasional… lapses in attention, once she puts her mind to something, she’s quick to master it. At this point she can sight read nearly as fast and accurately as myself. However, we’re still going over vocabulary, as well as keys and their corresponding chords,” you answered, barely able to maintain eye contact with your employer. Thankfully, she seems to have accepted the inevitability of your nervousness. You were especially thankful now that you prepared to ask her a question. “My Lady, may I inquire about what specifically you expect from my teachings? If there are certain genres you wish for Daniela to be familiar with, or techniques-... I must admit I am unsure as to how to best meet your requirements.”

Slowly reclining in her chair, Alcina appears to ponder your question. In the meantime she sips at her beverage, holding the cup as if it were a fragile heirloom (which it could very well be), eyes looking into the middle distance. Then she gives a soft hum, setting her cup down and returning her attention to you.

“I suppose I can understand your concern. In some ways you have already exceeded my expectations,” she said, expression oddly plain in comparison to her positive phrasing. “My daughter has rarely invested herself in anything as much as she has in your lessons. For this, I am left wondering what she finds so captivating- the music, or the one who pulls the strings?... But that is not the answer to your inquiry, is it?” In that moment, you are incredibly still, willing yourself to keep a straight face, despite the racing of your heart. At your silence, Alcina perks a brow, expecting you to respond. You can’t, your mouth suddenly dry. “What I expect is a passion to educate, a drive to see my daughter flourish. I expect you to teach her exactly as much as she wants you to, focusing on whatever brings her the most joy. But I expect professionalism. Your duties come first, above your health, happiness, and all other desires. Am I understood?”

“Yes, my Lady. Of course, my Lady,” you replied, stuttering, eyes wide. Did she know? Or merely suspect?... There’s another thought, one you try desperately not to voice, only to hear the words fill the room before you can stop yourself. “May I ask where Lady Daniela’s desires fit into this?” Silence hangs heavy over the room for several seconds. Your employer has narrowed her eyes, lips curled downwards into a sharp scowl, watching you with thinly-veiled anger. All you can do is gulp and wait for her response. When it comes, you are surprised by the stability of her tone. It was almost as if she respected your gall.

“She is young still, with the mind of a lovesick maiden. Daniela does not know what she wants, not really, nor does she understand what she needs. If her… flirtatious nature begins to interrupt your instruction, then your response must be swift, and uninterested. Regardless of how unkindly she takes your rejection, I will ensure that she does not harm you,” Lady Dimitrescu said, giving a stern nod at the end. Though her tone was reassuring, you hardly felt better, considering you were far past the point of turning Daniela down (if anything, you had only turned her on). “Now, with that settled, I believe I should let you return to your duties. Oh, and do tell Cynthia that the tea she brewed was perfect, should you happen to see her.”

Then she looked away, practically ignoring your continued existence. So you rose to your feet, gave another bow, and left before your panic could devolve into a breakdown. Daniela is not going to be happy about this.

Gratitude and care in Astarion

Disclaimer Game Version: All these analyses were made up to the game version v4.1.101.4425. As long as new content is added, and as long as I have free time for that, I will try to keep updating this information.

It’s hard to say if Astarion has a level of gratitude, which can be understandable since, as he said explicitly during the bite scene, it takes some time for him to trust in another person due to the torment that Cazador made him pass through (but like everything with Astarion’s words, it may be a plain lie to excuse himself in front of Tav ). The main reason for this lack of gratitude, or a twisted version of it—if there is any—, comes from the possibility of “Dark Desires” working on him (check post about Vampirism).

Astarion has two situations in which he seems to show, ever so slightly, a thread of gratitude. 

The first one is during the bite scene. The acceptance of his vampire nature is not exactly what he is grateful for, but for the willing offering of blood. This is—if we believe in what Astarion told us—the first time he has ever tasted blood from a thinking creature. This may be, like all words from Astarion’s mouth, a lie/half truth. We need to remember that Astarion considers a broad group of humanoids who are thinking creatures as animals (check Astarion Analysis). So he may or may not have drunk blood from a, let’s say, goblin or a gnome before. It’s also true that the only images we saw in his head by using the Tadpole were rats in his master's crypt; we don't see anything about his recent feedings (we know it was a boar). From Astarion’s perspective, killing a nearby goblin would count as feeding on animals, but technically it is not and therefore, Tav is not his first. 

In any case, putting aside this consideration, Astarion explicitly says that this offering of blood is a “gift” that he will not forget (if your rolls succeeded in stopping him). We still need to see how this apparent “gratitude” will manifest—if it ever does—.

If we got the bad luck of failing those checks, in which Tav asked Astarion to stop twice, but he did not, Astarion would end up killing Tav. In the next morning, he is not even guilty or ashamed for his excess (an excess that one could understand a bit since the vampiric bloodthirst is too intense in general), but his careless attitude and his dismiss of the gravity of the situation, giving an apology more concerned about his permanence in this group than being honest with Tav, shows that Astarion cares little for Tav. If he does, it’s always around the fact of guaranteeing his permanence in this group of powerful members that gives him safety and potential solutions in controlling the tadpole. When Astarion kills Tav there is no scene of “gift”, so Tav is completely unaware of how important this event was for Astarion…. if it truly was such (why would Astarion not say anything about it later since it has been such a “gift”? I’m deeply distrustful about his gratitude). Later, in datamined content, we will see Astarion subtly asking for permission to feed on the companions (Check post Astarion's Standards and Manipulation)

The second time he shows a minimal hint of something remotely similar to gratitude is in datamined material, related to a pair of videos that pjenn has shown about the scars on his back [1] [2]. He needs help to read it since he can’t see his body in reflective surfaces due to his vampire nature. We get from the narrator: 

* He might be sneering, but you can see pain in his eyes. He needs help, but doesn’t know how to ask. *

Helping him to decipher the infernal message on his back (if Tav is a tiefling) or at least attempting to (if Tav can’t decipher it at all), Astarion will add “thank you by the way, this is… well, it’s something.”

And that’s all. That’s all the content in EA where you can see a hint of “gratitude” in Astarion, if you squint your eyes, scratching content from a single phrase in two scenes. There is also no meta-knowledge information to add to this, or any explicit reaction from Astarion that could imply more gratitude than this. As a character who represents a “bad behaved victim” probably makes sense. He has only focused on himself and on his own needs for survival. There is little room for gratitude there.

Should we expect any gratitude? Personally I don’t think so. Although he follows the troupe of the bad-behaved victim, he is also a power-focused character that manipulates constantly every situation in order to guarantee his survival or simply to have fun (bloodshed or sex). Those small details of apparent gratitude may have perfectly been part of the games he plays. 

Could he eventually be grateful? Hard to say in EA. If he is, it seems to me that he will be in the evil way. When I say this I keep in mind what Swen said in several talks/videos about how they were not considering alignment change in characters but only in the main char. Which is a curious change from bg1 or bg2, or simply the true reason to work with more generalised alignments: good, neutral, and evil alone. 

It is clear that we cannot trust in Astarion’s gratitude, only shown in two single lines that will not always be seen. Astarion is a great manipulative char and that small hint of gratitude he shows may be one of the many tricks he uses to survive and gather power.

Does Astarion care for someone?

Since we are talking about gratitude, we can also talk about care. If Astarion has shown something clearly during all EA, it is his lack of honest interest for the well-being of any creature beside himself. This includes the members of the group. There is never meta-knowledge information displaying that “deep down, in a silent way” he cares about his companions.

The only opportunity in which he apparently seems to care about some companions, is when he is reading the book of Thay, which apparently is asking him to kill the group, to which Astarion answers with a “No, I won’t kill them. Maybe *insert scripted companion’s name*”. 

We know at this point that he would enjoy seeing his companions suffer and die, because bloodshed is always “fun”, but he is prioritising how this group protects him. This concept can be seen pretty clearly when we are witnesses of Lae’Zel’s death at the hands of the githyanki patrol. Astarion will say something along the lines “what a pity, she was a powerful specimen”. Another proof of this aspect is when he approves of sacrificing one of the companions to the fish-people who worship Booal. Astarion doesn’t truly care about anyone of the group (not even the main char, to whom he may kill in a bite dismissing the gravity of the situation) but he needs them as protection and also as the only way to find a way to control his tadpole. It’s always about his needs.

After all, we should not forget that iconic phrase during the stargaze scene: 

“You think I’d kill you, just like that? Darling, I would never. I still need you.”

And this had been stated in every opportunity: The most important thing at any moment is survival. Astarion doesn’t care about killing or betraying. He enjoys it, “it’s fun”. He is not turning against the group basically because, by now, it’s the only safe and promising means to guarantee his survival. He needs this group so badly that he won’t abandon it even if a good aligned Tav mistreats him and disrespects him at every opportunity they have. Tav is the one who has to insist for Astarion to abandon the group, and even then, he will try to convince them of the contrary. That speaks volumes about what this group (and Tav) truly means to him. Like everything with his character: just a means for survival.

Reflections- @yoonia

“How could I ever forget about you" parent au

Faded- @yoonia

You were his soulmate, that part he knew well. Until one day he didn’t want you anymore. He couldn’t, when all he could see from you was light and all he felt within himself was darkness. Your love has gone cold as he retreated from you, burying himself deep in the dark. But what happened when Yoongi had to watch you start over with somebody else, when Yoongi let his selfishness gain control on him of you.

Monday- @strwberrytae

It’s that special time a month that brings you great pain yet great joy. Sure, there’s cramps and absolute uncomfort but your little monthly friend makes you insanely horny. Needy and desperate for a release that only your boyfriend can provide, will he cave and give you what you want?

What you did last summer- @winetae

Yoongi was fine with a lot of things—you maxing out his credit cards to buy ridiculously expensive items of clothing that you never wore more than once, you taking out his newest ride for a spin without permission, you spending an extra thirty minutes on your hair and makeup when he was running late for a dinner function. 

What he was not okay with, however, was you sharing your pussy with barely-out-of-college boys who were incapable of going five seconds without creaming their pants.

No, that was where he drew the line.

Bad boys bring it to you- @yuengi​

tattoo artist yoongi

Fortuna- @readyplayerhobi

Curious- @honeymoonjin

Gingham- @ropeseok​

There’s no place like home! At least, that’s how Yoongi felt after a long night of taking the little one trick-or-treating. He can’t wait to take his costume off - however, he seems to insist that you keep yours on.​

Somebody else- @jamaisjoons

Do you love me-  @caribbeanempressblog

Pepero day- @kittae

Valentine’s with your best friend, yoongi

The last- @kittae

When the world’s gone to shit and you’ve taught yourself to stay alive while danger lurks around every corner, the last thing you need is another mouth to feed and extra “dead” weight. Yet you can’t bring yourself to leave another human being behind, and it might as well have been your worst decision ever… or was it the best?

Baby’s fist christmas- @hobisbeautifulass​

3 months after you give birth to your first child, you and your husband start putting together the perfect first Christmas for your new family of three.

This is just to say  – @btsiguess

To say it’s unusual to have a soulmate is an understatement, and most people desperately wish to have an elegant name scrawled upon their wrist. In reality though, you’d have to say it causes much more issues than it solves.

I like you – @iq-biased

A surprise visit from a friend leaves Yoongi with a night to remember, and something to say

Small things- @floralseokjin

you and vamp yoongi have an argument

Daddy diaries- @bts-reveries

Drink me- @njssi​

Your vampire boyfriend refuses to bite you in fear of not being able to stop himself. But you always get what you want.

Rule of thirst- @prolixitae

vampires were just folklore until yoongi became one. now he’s got only two emotions: you and hunger. and tonight, you let him feed off you.

A ticket to the sun- @seokeros​ (ao3)

In a world where a person's life is determined by a piece of paper on a monthly basis, love is practically impossible. But there's always an exception, and with that exception, there comes a price.

Alt: yoongo gets punched in the face by a girl who believes she is cursed, and he stupidly, helplessly, falls in love.

Wildest moments- @joonbird

“Min Yoongi is forbidden territory. And although you both know better, the two of you just can’t seem to stay apart.”

Hyung, open the door- @gotmetalkinginmysleep

You’ve been keeping the boys awake with your moaning for months thanks to Yoongi. Tae and Jungkook want to find out why.

The singularity theory- @dovechim

After a bad week with the worst luck imaginable, you happen upon a local dive bar run by an attractive young bartender who livens up your evening.

Your neighbor, Min Yoongi. 

pugna- @jungwoohoos

Mean yoongi- @jjkpls

Min Yoongi asks you to take care of his plants when he’s gone. It doesn’t go as planned and well, he has to deal with your misbehaving ass.

Sour skittles- @softyoongiionly

WELCOME TO GLASSCLAW! The only city where you can get a homecooked meal and a hitman all on the same street! You moved to GlassClaw for a fresh start after a group of raiders invaded your previous compound. Unbeknownst to you, the city has its own collection of riff raff and, at the head of it all is your neighbor Min Yoongi. The mischevious merchant with one hell of a sailor mouth is known for swindling the rich and, serving the poor.

Incarnate (chapter 3)

So here’s the deal on how uploading these chapters will work. I have chapters 1-4 prewritten, so those will come out every day at 12:30-1:00 pm Eastern Standard Time. So expect chapter 4 up tommorrow around then! After that, I plan to upload chapters as I complete them. My goal is at least a bi-weekly update schedule. But no matter what day I post them, they will always be coming out between 12:30 and 1:00 pm Eastern Standard Time. Anyway, this one is from Estos’s perspective and takes place during the meeting with Irayu and Carmella.

“My guardian, is it not a possibility that you are overreacting?”

“Overreacting? How could you say that, Tilo? You saw it, did you not?” I asked my seer. 

Tilo nodded quickly. “Yes, I did, my guardian. But visions are never the complete picture. They are just puzzle pieces.”

I groaned. “I am not overreacting. Irayu is the only one of us that is overreacting! He dares to keep secrets from us! And Askele refuses to punish him! Instead he demands I start supplying food the Ikladore again!”

“Perhaps that is because Askele knows how to keep his temper and do what needs to be done.” Tilo said. “We cannot assume these sort of things, my guardian. We have to know them.”

“I still think Irayu is being entirely unreasonable.” I said. Speaking of Irayu, as soon as I had finished my sentence, there was a knock at the door. And I was certain I knew who it was.

Tilo rushed to answer the door, and I followed. He pulled the door open, and sure enough, Irayu was standing there, along with a young woman whom I recognized as his seer, Carmella. What could they be doing here, especially so early in the morning? I cleared my throat, looking to Irayu.

“Irayu,” I greeted, “I would say it is good to see you, but that would be a lie.”

“The same to you, Estos. But I am afraid the situation is urgent.” He replied.

Carmella nodded in agreement. “We came to speak to you about a vision your seer may have had recently.”

“My vision?” Tilo asked, glancing upwards, “What is so important about it?”

“I have had the same one. We believe that explaining this may clear up the…disagreement Estos had with Irayu yesterday.”

I grunted, but stepped away from the door to let them through. “Very well. We shall discuss this in the dining hall. But for both your sakes, I do hope the girl makes it quick.”

I led them into the Hagia. Carmella, having never been in any Hagia other than the one in Ikladore, stared in wonder. Eabrathae being the farming realm, my Hagia had been built around the largest tree in the entire realm. Its trunk ran through the center of the common room, and the leaves that had not been cut off sprouted through a hole in the ceiling. The trunk itself was hollowed out, and used as extra storage. I was quite proud of the building. It seemed Irayu’s seer was impressed as well.

Of course, I knew Irayu’s opinions of the Hagia. He had always made his distaste for using wildlife in building plans quite clear. However, I would take any Hagia over his. The Hagia of Ikladore was solid metal, clean and shiny. Its walls were lined with weaponry and battle armor. It was clean and plain. At least my home had flair to it.

We finally reached the dining hall. The long table was wooden as well, made of several branches woven together.  The only non-wooden aspect of the table was the glass tabletop, which was a translucent earth green.

“Do you not know wood rots, Estos?” Irayu asked, sitting down. Carmella sat next to him, smoothing out her dress as she did so.

I took my seat across from Irayu, staring at him. “I was under the impression you were here to get on my good side,”

“My guardian, perhaps it is best to not snap at them before they have made their case?” Tilo said, sitting to my left.

I cleared my throat, looking to Carmella. “You may speak.”

“New weapons are being developed in Ikladore, sir. You are correct about that. Long tubes that can spit out balls of metal which fly faster than even our fastest horses can run. However, these weapons are being developed in secret, without Irayu’s permission. In fact, my guardian was not even aware of it until I called him in to tell him the same vision I relay to you now.”

“And who were the ones developing these weapons?” I asked.

“Kadir and Florian,” she answered, “the best weaponsmiths in Ikladore, sir.”

I turned my attention to Irayu. “You trust these two men?”

“Aye, I did. Until I learned they were traitors.” He answered, staring at me with those cold, calculating eyes of his.

“And what are you to do with them? If you are, in fact, against what they are doing.” I asked.

“If they do not halt their progress, they are to both be publicly executed.” He said, “does that satisfy you?”

“I suppose it will suffice. But how do I know your seer is not lying?” I questioned.

“Because I did have the same vision as her, my guardian,” Tilo spoke, “It was the exact same. And seeing as Carmella was not aware of my vision, she could not have fabricated one that was exactly the same as mine.”

“I would listen to your Seer, Estos.” Irayu said.

I huffed, a hot breath running through my nose. “I expect Kadir and Florian to be executed within the next month.”

“If that is your wish, I expect food to be delivered to Ikladore within the week,” he said.

I nodded, “Askele has already ordered me to begin delivering food immediately.”

“Good.” He said, folding his hands together, “What did I miss after I walked out of the meeting room?”

“Gaewelon wants to initiate trade with the four realms,” I said.

“Gaewelon? The nomadic pot makers? The ones who passed through here around ten years ago while on their way to a new settlement?” he asked, raising an eyebrow.

“Aye. It seems they saw a few products that…interested them. I told Askele that I would not be trading with them. It would be too detrimental to Eabrathae if I did. However, they have made it quite apparent that they either trade with all four realms, or none .” I said.

“I believe it is a matter of which would hurt us more,” Irayu tapped his chin, thinking.

I nodded. “I am afraid that if I do agree to this trade, the import of food into the other realms will need to be cut in half.”

“In half? That is quite a cut to make.” He said, his eyes widening.

“Yes. Do you understand my apprehension now?” I asked, leaning over the dining table.

“My guardian, that would be a huge problem for the realms,” Carmella addressed to Irayu, “Gaewelon cannot trade with Eabrathae.”

“Your seer is quite wise, Irayu,” I complimented, looking over to the girl.

At this, I saw Tilo take in a breath of disagreement. He was staring curiously at Irayu’s seer, studying her. I could not grant him any blame for that. A seer spent most of their time at the Hagia of their respective guardians, waiting for a vision. When they did get to interreact with the seer of another realm, it usually didn’t go to well. In fact, I was shocked that this meeting had gone as smoothly as it had. Carmella, as I knew, was very soft spoken and timid. Tilo, on the other hand, was quite boastful and would never hesitate to offer his input. The two seers should have clashed more than they did.

“At least it is the people of Gaewelon, and not the shadow wraiths attempting to initiate trade,” Irayu said.

I nodded. The shadow wraiths resided east of Akitora, the kingdom in which the four realms were located. The wraiths themselves were said to be descended from demons, and were just as evil. They were pitch black, with yellow eyes sunken in the backs of their skulls and thick wisps of gray smoke billowing from their bodies. They were cunning tricksters, looting traders at night. Often times groups of them would initiate trade with a neighboring kingdom, only to take valuables without offering anything in return. So, it was indeed a good thing that the shadow wraiths had not set their eyes on Akitora.

Tilo cleared his throat, demanding the attention of the rest of us. “I believe that we could possibly trade with Gaewelon and suffer little ill effects. Even if we do have to halve food supplies, as my guardian is saying, we would be able to begin supplying regular amounts of food again within a few months.”

“And how do you know this?” Carmella asked, raising an eyebrow.

“Because unlike you, I received some education before I took on job as seer,” he jolted back.

The female seer visibly scoffed. “I am educated just fine. Just because I didn’t know that one small thing doesn’t mean I’m not.”

Tilo rolled his eyes at this. “As I was saying, it may not matter if we trade with Gaewelon or not. If we do not, then nothing happens. If we do, it will hurt us for a short while, but we will quickly bounce back.”  

“Perhaps.” I said, tapping my chin. “But I have made myself clear to Askele. I will not be trading with them.”

“That is your issue to sort out, Estos.” Irayu said, “I have no say in who Eabrathae does and does not trade with,” he stood from the table. “Now, I do believe I must be going.”

“Very well. But one more word before you do.” I said, glancing up at him.

He turned to face me, “Yes?” he inquired.

“If I find out you were lying about your seer’s vision, it will be the end of you.” I said coldly. I wanted him to know that I meant what I said.

However, he did not seem to be bothered by this. Instead of a returned threat, he simply uttered, “By heavens, Estos, I thought you knew how to count. That was much more than one word,” and slipped out the door, Carmella following behind him.

“Your opinion on this, my guardian?” Tilo questioned, looking to me.

I stood, pushing in my chair. “His story is believable, but the most believable stories are often the most untrue. I have to remain skeptical until those two weaponsmiths are executed.”

Tilo stood as well, nodding. “A fair enough point. But what if it turns out that the other seers had the same vision?”

“Then my suspicions shall be lessened. But until then…”

“I understand.” Tilo said.

“I expect so,” I replied, “Well, Tilo, I should go attend to my other duties.”

He nodded, “Of course, my guardian. I wouldn’t want to keep you.”

I smiled at him, and silently walked out of the dining hall without another word.

Jin Namba fanfic: Obstacles part 10

So much has happened today, it was like someone has forced me onto a roller coaster ride without my permission.

-Buzz buzz-

A new message coming from Ayumu?

I open the message:

-Chief, check out the footage below-

?

I scroll down and the frame shows YN in her hospital room. My finger immediately hits the play button.

The footage shows a nurse entering YN’s room carrying a syringe. Her sneaky behaviour suggests that she was up to no good. The woman proceeds to inject something into YN’s drip. Shortly after the nurse left, YN was in grave danger.

My grip tightens around my phone.

The nurse’s build looks familiar. Who is she? Why did she do that? Is she a accomplice to Asahi Kyobe?

-Buzz Buzz-

-Buzz Buzz-

As soon as I finish the video, Ayumu sends numerous text one after another.

-Chief!-

-That nurse is your ex-wife-

-Yuriko-

-[photo of the nurse’s face]-

I stare at the photo Ayumu sent me, it’s an enlarged shot of the nurse from the CCTV footage. The nurse’s face is clearly visible and so recognisable. It’s Yuriko!

My eyes widen in disbelief. Just …what and why is she doing this?

I cannot believe it. She was someone who I was once married to. Although our divorce has put us on separate terms, I never knew this side of her character. Why would she do something like this? As far as to kill someone?

I feel a sense of disappointment and betrayal. I’m sad that someone who was once close to me has committed a crime trying to steal YN from me. I’m also shocked that she is capable of doing something like this.

My eyes are burning holes at the picture. The once familiar face has become a total stranger. So scary and different. Just what has she become? What happened to her?

-buzz buzz-

-Chief, that evil woman is in the second floor outdoor cafeteria. Goto is standing by too. Call when ever you need help.-

I shove my phone back into my suit pocket.

It’s time to end this once and for all. Eyes filled with determination anger.

Confrontation time.

 Yuriko’s POV:

Ah, the sun finally came out. Just like my mood, sunny and great. I finally got rid of her. A burden off my shoulder. Now, no one can hinder my love for Jin. Now all Jin will see is me. I smile in satisfaction.

After disposing the nurse uniform and the syringe, I sit at the cafeteria leisurely sipping on my coffee.

Jin will be sad, but then I’ll be there for him, I’ll be there to help him through difficult time. He’ll then rediscover how good I am. He’ll then know his life won’t be complete without me and realize that he needs me in his life.

Ah, life will be perfect then.

Then we can maybe have another wedding, have another honey moon. Oh! And then we can start having children and then….

“YURIKO!”

I whip my head around at that roaring voice. It’s Jin!

“Jin!”

Ignoring his enraged voice, his name spill out from my mouth in a gleeful tone.

“Long time no see, how’s your day so far?” I ask with a light hearted tone.

“Can’t be worse.” Jin’s reply was blunt and monotone.

“I know you are upset about YN’s death, it must be really difficult for you. If you need, I’ll be here to help you anytime you want.”

“I didn’t say anything about YN. Unless you are the one who committed it.” Jin’s serious eyes turns severe and accusing.

Damn it! How could I be this careless.

Jin’s accusing look is breaking my heart, why is he looking at me like he’s looking at a criminal? I’m doing this for him, for us, for our future!

But there is no way I’m going to admit that to him.

“Ahh…well, you see, I have been visiting YN once in a while to give her some flowers to cheer her up. I’ve seen her condition and the doctor said she isn’t getting any better so I just assumed something has happened to YN if you are this upset….I’m really sorry this has to happen. She was so young too. My condolences.” I said empathetically.

Jin’s stern face did not budge seemly not believing anything I said.

“Just to give flowers or something more?”

“Wha..What are you saying?” I play dumb and put up my most innocent face.

“No point denying! I have the footage recording the whole process of you sneaking into YN’s room and giving her the drug! How could you do that?”

Jin thrust his phone right in front of my face.

I stare at the screen reliving what happened and the joy I felt when I pushed that tiny needle into her IV fluid slowly stealing her life away.

“I did nothing wrong.” I replied calmly without a hint of remorse.

“How could you still say that when you are taking someone’s life.” Jin takes a step closer, intimidating and radiates with rage.

“I merely did what I had to to create a future for us! I’m doing it in the name of love! It’s not my fault! Falling in love is not a crime!”

Surprise passed through his features and quickly replaced with icy cold looks.

“There’s no more us anymore. Our marriage is in the past. We both need to move on.”

Move on? How could he say that? He vowed to be by my side in sickness or in health! He vowed to be with me until death do us apart! He moved on but he left me behind! I was only upset for the moment because he’s always busy with work and made a stupid decision to divorce. But I still love him. I gave him everything, my whole heart and soul and yet how dare he say he’s MOVED ON?!

I snapped.

“NO! You can’t move on! You can’t leave me behind! No one can get in our way of happiness! I’ll get rid of anyone who gets in our way! ANYONE!”

I shout at him, eyes shining with craziness.

“……..”

Jin refuse to comment on my outburst and looks away. Then, in the coldest voice:

“….You are suspected of an attempted murder of a detective. Out of respect, I’ll not handcuff you, please cooperate and come to the police station. Ms Yamata (Yuriko’s last, idk, I just made it up XD).”

“You can’t do this to me! What crime have I committed?!”

I latch onto Jin’s suit trying to meet his gaze.

“Don’t call me Ms Yamata! I’m Mrs Namba! Mrs Namba!” I shout and continues to shake that fact into him.

“Goto!”

Jin’s voice booms above me and the next instant I’m dragged away from Jin.

Goto appears behind me forcefully bends my arm behind my back.

“Mrs Yamato, you will face court and the judge shall decide the punishment.”

I cannot detect even the slightest hint of warmth in Jin’s voice, it’s like he’s speaking to a criminal.

How could he do this to me, while all I considered was our bright future. How can he discard and betray my feelings.

A tear rolls down my face as Jin turns to leave without a hesitation.

Jin…..

A/N: I’m sorry for the slow updates. I just moved house recently so I have alot of packings to do. hopefully I can update faster in the future :) Again, please write some comments and let me hear your thoughts! Would really appreciate them :D
