NEW AREA UNLOCKED: ZOO To the west side, right behind #farmland , a new room opened up. This was a few acres wide across, and it was made up of enclosures and pathways connecting them. Many of the enclosures were empty, but they all had signs in front of them to say what was supposed to be in them. The closest to the door had a plaque named Gaster. It was a large glass enclosure with some lizard-like creatures in it. They skittered about and mostly tried to hide under rocks. Another said Kofka and Koska. This enclosure was a deep pit in the ground. There were two species of cat-like animals. One species had two heads and brown eyes and the other had three heads and blue eyes. They were prowling around a dark forested area. One was Toads. It was many different species of toad, all in one glass tank. It seemed a little shitty in there to be honest. Overcrowded and dry and hot and not much water. One of the larger ones was a giant grass field surrounded by a small wire fence. There were a few gates to let you inside. This one had cows in it. A small herd of five cows, one of which was just a calf. They frolicked about the fields, eating grass and drinking from the large pond in the center. The final enclosure that was open said Lerava on it, though it was empty. Just a big jungle area surrounded by net and fence. Um.. Thanks Damien..!

Damien could be found here, staring out at the cows. He seemed to have taken care of his wounds for the most part, but otherwise he didn't look well. Another calf had joined the herd, seems to have been accepted, but Damien still didn't leave.

The zoo was a new area that Maki had not explored yet so, why not explore it now! They walked around the area, frowning as they didn't see many animals. How boring. What was the point then? They pulled out their notebook and wandered over to the glass with the cows, watching them curiously as they began to sketch them out. Might as well do something productive. @ajjjjjjjj (edited)

Tattered and a bit bloodied, Kian had finally found the strength to go out into the open wilderness again when he felt the air cool down a bit. His eyes and cheeks were still a bit puffy and red. The boy's clothes were patterned by some blood stains and questionable dark spots that smelled a bit off. Overall, Kian just kinda looked like shit. Even his usual bright and colorful cape was dirtied with sand and dirt. Walking without a goal at first, Kian soon came across this strange looking zoo. He glanced around, confused as to what this place exactly was. He got distracted by the cow exhibit, however, smiling a bit as he saw the calf. "Wow!" Kian happily gasped, unaware of how close he was to Maki. @Cap! | Maki🧿 + Andre🌾

As Maki heard footsteps approach they didn't really pay no mind. At least not yet it wasn't until Kian spoke did they look up and leap back from the other, clutching their notebook too their chest as the narrowed their eyes. Then their gaze softened ever so slightly. You look like a wreck. They signed. Then they huffed, looking down at their notebook and began to write. You look like a wreck. They wrote. You should go wash up. They wrinkled their nose slightly at the smell. Gross. @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

It took Kian a second to notice the person next to him, then he slightly jumped back when he did. "O-Oh! I'm sorry, I-" He paused, taking a second to read what Maki wrote. The boy blinked a couple of times and he let out an awkward chuckle. "Uhm.. y-yeah, I guess I probably do look pretty bad right now," Kian said with a lopsided smile. "S-Sorry.. I don't think rinsing off in the river will really help without soap.. Uhm.. I-I'll stand over there if that will help with the smell," he said and pointed to the opposite side of the cow pen. @Cap! | Maki🧿 + Andre🌾 (edited)

Maki stared at Kian for a few seconds and let out a small sigh. They had no infirmary here. They're illusions couldn't really help now could they? No. Probably not. Maki narrowed their eyes deep in thought before they began to write.

You need medical attention and we lack that on our side. You should ask to speak to someone who can assist you, or if you can heal yourself, you should do that.

They wrote down. Infections are bad. @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

He took a few seconds to read all of what Maki wrote, and when he was done, awkwardly rubbed the back of his neck. "Aha.. Y-Yeah, infections are pretty bad. Uhm.. I'll be okay though, promise. The blood on me isn't mine—well, not all of it, at least. I'm just kinda dirty right now.." He explained. "I'll probably see if I can wash my clothes later o-or something... uhm, I-I'm Kian, by the way. Sorry if I smell..." Kian said with a lopsided smile. @Cap! | Maki🧿 + Andre🌾

Maki. Maki wrote down. I know some medical knowledge but I am not skilled. If you have any supplies I can do my best to help you. They sighed, frowning a bit. I do not think my illusions can help but...I can try, if you would like. It can perhaps it can bring some aid. They suggested. Or can you self heal...well. You would have done that already I assume. Maki pondered. @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

"Maki.. T-That's a nice name. And I appreciate the offer, but I-I am okay, really. I'm not hurt anywhere," Kian reassured them with a smaller, but more genuine smile. "I just got a little messed up practicing my power, b-but someone else healed up all my bad injuries.." He looked down at his feet as he spoke. "I-I can't self heal.. but I appreciate your concern, Maki. Uhm.. I-I think I'd feel better if I just look around this place some more. I like animals.. Though, I think it's a little odd to have a zoo around here. Were you looking at the cows too, Maki?" @Cap! | Maki🧿 + Andre🌾

I was. Maki nodded and then showed Kian a small sketch of said cows. The sketches were pretty loose but realistic! Seems like Maki had a knack for drawing.

I was sketching. Its not finished. I wish there were more animals to sketch. I wish I had a physical book to draw in but my own will do for now.

@Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Kian peered at the drawings, a bright smile spreading on his lips when he saw it. "Wow! That's amazing, Maki! I-It looks so good already!" The prince beamed. "I-I was never really good at drawing, but it's a lot of fun! Do you want to walk around with me? S-So you can see more of the animals?" And maybe because that means Kian has a chance to make another friend! @Cap! | Maki🧿 + Andre🌾

Maki pondered for a moment before they nodded again.

That would be nice. I like animals. I wish there were more...I can create some with my illuisons but, well, they wouldn't really be real. But it is still fun, isn't it?

They shrugged with a small smile. I think that can be fun. @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Kian giggled a bit, excited. "Y-Yeah! It'll be a lot of fun," he nodded. "Even if there's not a lot of them.. I think it's better off that way. It'd suck to be stuck here with all of us in space, y-y'know?" Kian commented as he glanced around. "How about we head o-over there?" The prince said as he pointed to the opposite side of the cows. @Cap! | Maki🧿 + Andre🌾

(There’s two lionesses and alien cats too :3) (edited)

Maki nodded with a small smile. Lead the way, Kian. And if you wish to see an animal...I can create it for us to see. They gave a small thumbs up to Kian. Friendship. Do you have a favorite animal by any chance? @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Kian made sure to walk beside Maki so he could read their notes, but also didn't stand too close in case he smelled too bad. "Oh, I'd love to see what you can make, Maki! M-Maybe after we've seen all of the animals here," he smiled. "My favorite animal? Oh, that's easy. I love cats," he chuckled. "What about you, Maki? What's your favorite animal?" @Cap! | Maki🧿 + Andre🌾

With a small snap of their fingers, a few cats appeared around the room, just lounging about. Cats as well. Maki admitted. And dogs too. I also like sea otters. They smiled a bit. I love animals in general...it is hard to have a favorite I think... @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Kian almost tripped on his own feet when the cats suddenly appeared. "W-Woah!" He gasped with bright eyes as he looked at all of the felines around them. "T-These are illusions? They look so real!" Kian chuckled as he gently pet one of the near by cats. "Dogs and otters are a-also really cute. One of my best friends is a cat though.. S-So I'm a bit biased," Kian smiled. @Cap! | Maki🧿 + Andre🌾

One of the cats purred as Kian pet it. Kian was right! It felt and looked practically real....but at the end of the day. It was an illusion. I have a cat friend...a plush. But still my friend. Maki wrote. What type of cat do you have...? @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Kian didn't really care if it was an illusion or not. He's having fun petting the cat! "Ohh, does your plush have a name, Maki?" Kian curiously asked as picked one of the cats up into his arm. "A-And my friend is a Bengal cat! Her name's Asra. She's p-pretty special. She can actually talk to you! And she has these really cool fire powers!" The boy rambled. @Cap! | Maki🧿 + Andre🌾

Yes... Maki nodded and summoned a small black cat plush. I named him Midnight. I like him. They looked down at the plush before it faded away. Ohh...that's very cool. Maki paused. A cat with fire powers? Now thats something you don't see everyday. Huh. Maki contemplated for a few seconds. I would like a talking pet cat. @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

"Awhh! Midnight is so cute!" Kian beamed when he saw the plush, before giving Maki a nod. "Mhm! S-She talks and has fire powers. She's the one who found me when I was still a baby too.. s-so we've been together for a long time," he explained. "I have another good friend.. he's a chicken though. He also can talk a-and has powers too," Kian said as they walked by another enclosure. @Cap! | Maki🧿 + Andre🌾

Talking animals...I wish I hand a talking cat. Maki sighed. A talking chicken seems funny too. Haha. Cluck cluck. They grinned. You can understand animals then? Is that your power? How fun. Maki wrote down. They looked upwards as they saw the other enclosure, staring at it curiously. @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

( @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽 may we get a quick description of a chicken enclosure of some sort c: )

Nearby the cow pen, there was a small chicken coop. It seemed rudimentary, but very capable of keeping chickens inside, anyway. Around the coop was a thin amount of chicken wire, which if you touched it, would zap you ever so slightly. There was a little door cut in to the wire so you could gain entry if you wanted to mingle with the hens. @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge @Cap! | Maki🧿 + Andre🌾

Kian observed the passing enclosure, his eyes widening in excitement. "Oh, s-speaking of chickens—Looks like they have a coop!" He pointed out with a grin. "And no, talking with animals isn't my powers–I wish, that'd be so cool. Uhm.. no, m-my powers are something else," Kian sheepishly replied. @Cap! | Maki🧿 + Andre🌾

Maki walked over to the chicken coop and examined it curiously, tilting their head before they looked up at Kian. I can't help be quite curious about your powers now if you don't mind me asking now. They wrote down. Though I will not reply if you do not want to share. They turned their focus back to the chicken coop. @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Kian stood beside Maki, just as curiously looking over everything. "I-I wonder where all the chicks are.." He commented before looking down at what Maki wrote. "Uhm.. I-It's a bit complicated--My powers.." The boy smiled awkwardly. "I-I would prefer to just look at the chickens," Kian admitted. "Wherever the chickens are.." @Cap! | Maki🧿 + Andre🌾

Maki was about to reply before the announcement went off. Instantly their tone changed and Maki booked it. Sorry, Kian! @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Falling back onto the ground, Kian flailed for a moment as he looked around. "M-Maki?" He called out, but he was alone. With shaky knees and a frown, Kian picked himself up and dusted off his cape. Looks like Maki was put elsewhere. Kian wasn't sure if that'd be good or not, but he hoped Maki would be okay. They were pretty unresponsive after Moses died... With a worried sigh, he rubbed the back of his neck as he looked ahead of him. The zoo. He was back where he was before, standing in front of the chicken coop. Kian wondered if any chickens had finally come out. His spirits were pretty down. Maybe a cute little chicken would fix that. @Vanessa| Sovran+Zora+Cansu

Checking out the coop, the chickens were just chilling! Little chicks scampered around, chirping eagerly and pecking at the ground. Mother hens rested upon eggs or walked among their young. Nearby, the sound of muffled screaming could be heard.. @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

1

Awh, the chickens were so cute! He wished Maki could see such pretty chicks with him- That moment of bliss was immediately cut out by the screaming, however. Kian jerked his head towards where it was coming from, glancing between the different pens and animals. "Wh--H-Hello?" Kian stuttered, starting to head towards where the screaming was coming from. @Vanessa| Sovran+Zora+Cansu

The screaming seemed to be coming from within the chicken coop. The chickens seemed relatively unbothered by it, though. Seemed like they were used to it. Underneath a hen, a chick momentarily stuck its head down before being protectively sat on. The screaming continued once more. @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

(How it feels to Cansu rn)

At first, Kian thought maybe, just maybe, he shouldn't head towards a loud random screaming, but something about this particular scream was familiar. With a sudden worried rush, Kian managed his way into the pen through the opened area and looked inside the coop. "O-Oh my goodness. H-Hey, little miss--Your chick--Your chick is s-screaming-" Kian said as he gently pulled the hen up from the chick, unsure what else to do. @Vanessa| Sovran+Zora+Cansu

"INSOLENT WENCH!!" Such a grown voice from such a little chick- The chick was talking. The chick was yelling. The chick was familiar. "HOW MANY TIMES MUST I INSIST THAT I AM NOT YOUR YOUNG?! I AM ABOVE YOU!! I AM ABOVE EVERY CREATURE HERE!!!! I AM-" The fuming chick hopped from the hay and gazed up at Kian. His little beak opened in shock. "KIAN?" @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

"CANSU?!" Kian's jaw dropped as he saw the little chick. He comedically dropped the hen onto the hay where she was, his brain short circuiting as he looked over Cansu. The familiar little yellow body, his somehow furrowed brow, and the décor of flowers on the chick's head all pointed to one thing: This was his Cansu. Without even a second of hesitation, Kian threw up his hand and grabbed Cansu, hugging him uncomfortably close to his chest and face. "I-It really is you, Cansu! O-Oh, I thought I might n-never see you o-or Asra again! I've missed you so much! I-I promise I'll get you those seeds you like from South America! I won't forget this time, I-I swear!" Tears were free falling onto the chick's head and feathers as Kian hugged Cansu. The boy's ramblings, along with the tears, would surely be familiar to the chick. @Vanessa| Sovran+Zora+Cansu

It was a good thing that Kian picked him up when he did, because the hen was already rapidly approaching Cansu again to push him back into the nest. To be carried was both insulting, yet his greatest sense of salvation in this moment. He wanted to raise his voice at Kian for getting his tears on his feathers, but he refrained from doing so. He did really like those seeds from South America. THem bitches smACKED. "Hmm, I will require a whole bag of those seeds," Cansu commented as he was hugged closer. He squirmed slightly. "Ease your hold, Kian- I am not going anywhere." @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Kian did not ease his hold. If anything, it got even tighter. "O-Of course! I'll get you as many bags as you want!" The prince nodded as he sniffled. "J-Just don't leave me here p-please.. S-So much has happened since I last saw you-! I-I don't even remember when the last time I saw you was!" Kian continued to cry. "We're i-in space in some sort of, death battle tournament—And, and–Uncle Agustin i-is here and s-so is Sir Lor, b-but not my Sir Lor, some other man who looks exactly like him—And Sir Lor just lost his fight and died-!" Sorry Cansu, the boy is not doing so great. @Vanessa| Sovran+Zora+Cansu

"I will NOT leave you." Cansu's voice radiated with agitation, but there was a sense of a promise in the statement. "I sensed that we're in space. It has been quite some time since I've left the planet, but for you- This is unnatural for you. I assume you were teleported here just as I was a while ago." "I can imagine that it'd be- Upsetting to see Sir Lor die, even if he's not your Sir Lor." Cansu wracked his brain as to who Sir Lor could've been. The names and faces all mushed together at some point. Asra, with a sharper tongue and memory, would remember. @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Kian had known Cansu long enough to know that even if Cansu seemed irritated with him, the chick was never angry at him. So, he did loosen his hold just a tad, but continued to hold Cansu close to him. "I-I can't believe Rakin got you too... I thought at least you and Asra would be safe. I guess not," Kian frowned deeply. He used the fabric on his shoulder to wipe away his tears and attempted his best nod at Cansu. "Y-Yeah... A-And what made it worst was that I met a friend—Maki—Sir Lor was their father here, apparently. They.. T-They weren't doing so good, but now we're separated. Oh.. I'm s-so happy to see you, Cansu," Kian whimpered as he sat down on top of some loose hay. @Vanessa| Sovran+Zora+Cansu

"Rakin, so that's the name of the bastard I have to kill." The name tasted as bitter as it sounded. The chick's feathers became ruffled with his rage. "He will regret bringing the two of us here, I will ensure of it. I'll tear him to pieces and consume upon my living meal. He will regret this." Cansu glanced around, chirping a little as his feathers eased back down. "I don't sense the Cat here, she must've been spared. Good." For a moment, the deity remained silent, before he sighed. "I suppose it is quite nice to see you too, Kian. It's been quite some time since our paths have last crossed." @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Kian seemed to pout as Cansu mentioned killing Rakin. "Cansu... what d-did we say about killing people?—Not unless it's the last resort and to protect others," the boy said with a very matter of fact tone. It was probably something Opal used to tell him. "But i-it's good Asra isn't here.. I don't want you guys to be in such a scary place.. Rakin h-has lightning powers like you, Cansu. It was r-really scary when he first brought me here," Kian sighed. He very gently smiled at Cansu and gave the chick a nice scratch on top of his head–Right where he knew Cansu liked it. "Yeah.. i-it's been.. ten.. eleven years now?" Kian shrugged. "Y-You.. you look good, Cansu. Strong a-and cool as ever." @Vanessa| Sovran+Zora+Cansu

"If they deserve to die, then they deserve to die," Cansu grumbled. He shook his head. "It should be the first resort when you've been captured and taken into space." The chick's feathers became puffy with glee when Kian gave him a nice little scratch on the top of his head. That spot was always his "calm down" switch as well. "Yes, I do look good," Cansu chirped. His eyes closed as he flapped his little feathers. "The years have been good to me." @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Kian continued to scratch and pet Cansu on his head, knowing full well once Cansu was set on his mind about something, it wouldn't change (not yet, at least). So, for now, just nice little head scratches. "Mhm.. H-How has your space vacation been? I was so surprised when you told me you were going to be leaving the planet.." Kian said as his smile fell just the slightest. @Vanessa| Sovran+Zora+Cansu

Cansu was thoroughly enjoying the head scratches. He had calmed down tremendously already. "It was meant to be for a short period of time. Some solar storms caught my attention, and I thought it to be similar to the Storm that created us Deities. I was mistaken." @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

The prince raised a brow at that, curiously looking down at Cansu and his scratches paused momentarily. "A solar storm..?" Kian repeated. "I-I doubt there would ever be one similar that created you or Asra.. you guys are special," he said with a childish, yet genuine smile. "I'm glad to see you are safe--Relatively speaking. Asra was busy e-eating up most of the fish in Taiwan the last I saw her. I think she misses you too, e-even if she doesn't act like it," Kian giggled. Yeah, she probably missed messing with Cansu, more likely. @Vanessa| Sovran+Zora+Cansu

Cansu puffed up his chest. "I am pretty special," He stated, ignoring that Asra was included in that. "I don't believe that there will be another one as the Storm that created me, but it felt familiar. I simply wanted to learn more about it." "That blasted Cat," Cansu rolled his eyes. "No matter how much that damn cat eats, she craves more. A gluttonous creature. I know she doesn't miss me, after all, I don't miss her. I tolerate that damn cat." Cansu huffed. Asra definitely would've missed bullying him. He'd throw hands with her. @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Kian smiled warmly as he saw Cansu puff up his chest, and he gave Cansu another scratch as a gift. "Mhm.. v-very special. The most special bird to me," he chuckled. His smile and laugh only grew as Cansu spoke about Asra. "You two fight like siblings do.. I'm sure she would be happy to see y-you back some time," Kian insisted as he adjusted himself on the hay. "W-We still don't know how to get out of here... Most people are dying left and right. U-Uncle Agustin is on the other side of this place a-and I don't really know anyone on this side. I'm glad you're here, Cansu." @Vanessa| Sovran+Zora+Cansu

"Siblings? Bleh!" Cansu let out a little chirp of disgust. "Please, to share a Bond with that cat is the worst, but to consider her a sibling? DisgUSTING!" "If there's a way in, there's a way out. Perhaps I will torture Rakin to spill the truth. He will not be able to keep his secrets from me." He huffed. "But, I am glad to see you again, though I wish the situation was different." @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

A childish laugh escaped Kian's lips as he heard Cansu's reply and he nuzzled his cheek against the chick. "Awh, don't say that, Cansu! Y-You guys are my only family left. Basically my siblings," he mused. Despite his cheerful tone, however, there was a sense of vulnerability in Kian's choice of words. "I-I wish it was different too.. But I guess we're here so.. S-So we should make the most of it," Kian nodded. "D-Do you want to stick with me until we go home then, Cansu? So w-we can just go back together?" @Vanessa| Sovran+Zora+Cansu

Cansu huffed and turned his head away from Kian, almost as though he was embarrassed. Though, he's a god, and gods don't get embarrassed! ".. I suppose that, as a sibling, you wouldn't be such a bad choice." He cleared his throat. "That CAT though, that cat is cancerous to be around." Cansu fluttered his wings slightly and gave a nod of his head. "I suppose that we could stick together, then we may return home together." @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Kian knew Cansu was embarrassed. The god couldn't hide anything from him after all these years, but it's also not like Cansu was good at hiding his emotions either. "Awhh.. Yay! T-That makes us brothers then! You know I always wanted one of those," Kian said with the goofiest of smiles, choosing to ignore Cansu's comment about Asra. The prince then raised Cansu towards his shoulder, signaling for Cansu to get on. "Mhm.. L-Let's stick together. We can explore together! I-It is really hot here though.. so don't go too far off without me, okay?" @Vanessa| Sovran+Zora+Cansu

"I'm aware, you've had nothing but sisters your entire life. I suppose it was expected that you'd get a brother eventually." Cansu chirped as he hopped onto Kian's shoulder. He got comfortable real quick, as though he was used to this cozy little spot. "I won't go too far," Cansu fluttered his little wings. "I'll go as far as I want. You don't wander too far from me, alright?" @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

The familiar weight of Cansu on his shoulder was reassuring in its own way--Like that spot was meant for the little bird. "Hehe.. Y-Yeah, I guess so. I'm glad I have such a cool b-big brother like you, Cansu," Kian beamed with a warm smile. "And fine, fine.. I-I'll make sure to follow you, oh mighty Cansu, G-God of the Skies," Kian playfully teased, but he knew Cansu liked it when he called him that. @Vanessa| Sovran+Zora+Cansu

“Yes, anyone would be glad to have such a good older brother such as I.” Cansu proudly puffed out his chest again. At the use of his title, Cansu stood a little taller. “Yes, follow me, for I will lead us off of this planet and bring us all back home!” @ajjjjjjjj (edited)

Kian giggled. "Mhm! Aye-Aye, Captain Cansu!" The boy responded with a playful salute, before walking forward. Where to? Who knows. He was still in the zoo area, so perhaps there would be something interesting around still! "Say, Cansu... C-Can I ask you about something?" @Vanessa| Sovran+Zora+Cansu

“What is your question?” Cansu asked. If he could physically raise an eyebrow, he would. @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

The boy walked a couple more steps before finally asking, "..D-Do you think I should give up?" Kian's voice was small and timid. His earlier smile was gone, replaced by a distant and almost disappointed look. "On m-my mission? It's been over two hundred years now.. b-but I'm still no where close to my end goal. I've been thinking.. m-maybe I would be better off just.. doing what you and Asra do—Wander the universe and do what I want," he elaborated. @Vanessa| Sovran+Zora+Cansu

Cansu thought for a moment before he spoke. “I believe that your mission has become a ball and chain for you, Kian,” The deity spoke. “I am familiar with that. I had my own promise that became shackles over time, and once I received liberation, it was the best option for me.” “I’m aware of how much your mission means to you,” Cansu gently brushed a feathered wing against Kian’s cheek. “There is no shame in allowing yourself to be free of shackles, Kian. You deserve freedom.” @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Even though Kian knew Cansu's response would be cut throat, it still made Kian frown when he heard it. He could always rely on Cansu to be honest, at least. The boy leaned his head towards Cansu's feather, reassured in it's soft touch and sighed. "I-I don't know... I just.." Kian looked down at the dirt ground, slowing his steps. "I-I don't want my family to be disappointed in me... everyone gave me their powers because they believed I could use them f-for good... but I still can't even use them when I want to. I'm.. I'm r-really not sure what to do anymore." @Vanessa| Sovran+Zora+Cansu

“‘Good’ has always been a subjective word. I’m sure each of them had their own meaning to it. Knowing each of them, I know that they wouldn’t want you to suffer as you have. In their hearts, no goal is worth putting you through such turmoil.” Cansu responded. “I don’t believe they’d be disappointed if you stopped, Kian. Rather, it’d be the opposite. They’d be proud that you’d be thinking of yourself and what’s best for you in the end. Everyone had their roles forced upon them, which kept them from being able to do such a thing for themselves. They’d be proud of you, Kian.” @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

1

Kian listened to Cansu closely, taking his words very seriously. Over the years, Cansu and Asra had become his aid in times like these, and the boy couldn't be any more grateful. It was like having his mother and uncle with him in way. Just a fraction of a piece he missed. His heart ached as he thought about his family. *'Would they be proud of me?'* A doubt lingered in Kian's mind despite Cansu's reassurance, but he didn't voice that to the chick on his shoulder. "...If I do stop.. what would I even do?" Kian asked, a small bead of tears starting to form in his eyes again. "I-I can't go back home.. I don't have a place to belong there anymore. I don't.. I don't belong anywhere, anymore." @Vanessa| Sovran+Zora+Cansu (edited)

“There’s plenty of the world to see,” Cansu offered. “Perhaps the blasted cat and I could take you to more of our fondest spots. Perhaps even off-world as well. A place could be found.” “And, I believe that there are people for you out there as well. You certainly make bonds of your own with other individuals, you’re quite skilled at it.” @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Was there even anything Kian would want to see? He's seen plenty on his own travels, but he supposed he had never actually stopped to enjoy any of those sights. It could be nice... Seeing those things with Asra and Cansu. "M-Maybe... That might be fun," he said with a small nod. At the mention of making bonds, Kian fidgeted a bit with his cape like he always does. "I.. I-I actually met a few people here who I would like to keep in contact with. There's.. there's s-someone here like me, sorta. Her name is Celena, and she's been stuck at eighteen for some time like me. A-And there's a man named Sovran too.. I.. He called me son... S-Says he sees me as one. It made me really happy.." @Vanessa| Sovran+Zora+Cansu

“There’s plenty of wonders the world holds that many people have yet to see. The cat and I have discovered plenty, we can show you those sights.” Cansu hummed. “I see. Another immortal such as yourself? That’s a worthy connection to keep. Perhaps you two could travel together eventually,” Cansu sounded intrigued by the individual. “And a father figure? Another worthy connection to keep. Is that someone you’d like to stay with once this escapade is over?” @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

"Y-You and Asra have been through a lot together, huh?" Kian teased with a small chuckle. "Yeah.. I think t-that might be nice. Just you, me, and Asra..." That's what felt like home. Kian thought about Cansu's next question, and after a few seconds, nodded. "Mhm.. I-I would like to stay in contact with them specifically. Celena is immortal so.. I thought maybe we could become better friends o-or something," Kian said with a shy smile. "Then Mr. Sovran.. He's just a normal man, but.. H-He's such a kind person. He reminds me a lot of uncle Persis... I would like to make sure he lives a good long life." @Vanessa| Sovran+Zora+Cansu (edited)

Cansu huffed. “The cat was annoying the whole time. You would be far better company than her.” “Then perhaps you can share information with her to stay in touch. I’m sure she’d appreciate having company as well.” Cansu hummed. “I see. I suppose anyone who’s like Persis is worth having around.” @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Again, Kian chuckled. "W-Well, I'm glad you think I'm good company at least," he mused with a childish grin. Kian scratched the top of Cansu's head again, before giving the chick a small kiss on the side of his face. "Mhm.. Y-You always did like uncle Persis more than everyone else. Of course you'd think that," Kian teased lightly. "But.. I guess it's also true. Uncle Persis made everyone want to b-be a better person. I feel the same with Mr. Sovran. I don't w-want to let him down... A-And I hope Celena doesn't forget about me after her family passes..." @Vanessa| Sovran+Zora+Cansu

Cansu let out a huff when he received the kiss. He was a god, he didn’t get kisses! He was above that! Though, it did feel kinda nice. “Persis was a good man. If there’s someone like him around, perhaps it would do you some good to be around that kind of presence.” Cansu hummed. He didn’t quite mind being teased this time around: He really did like Persis a lot. “Perhaps let this ‘Sovran’ know these things. And I’m sure that Celena won’t forget you. I’m sure she’d want to spend time with you as well.” @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

"Yeah.. I-I miss him a lot. I'm sure you do too," Kian nodded solemnly. "I-I miss everyone a lot... But Celena and Sovran make feel a bit more hopeful about everything. Uncle Agustin is here too.. s-so I want to spend more time with him before we go back to our own universes. Do you remember him? He's one of the amphibs. Did you ever meet him at any of the birthday parties o-or anything?" Kian asked with a curious look. "I-I know you don't really remember people so.. it's okay if you don't. I know you didn't really like going to the parties in Laputa either. I know Uncle Enzo didn't," he chuckled. @Vanessa| Sovran+Zora+Cansu (edited)

“If they make you feel hopeful, perhaps they’re worth keeping around. Though, I can’t see you having your mission and them both as well. If you quit your mission, you’ll get them. I think that’s worth more than shackles.” “Pft, of course I remember, I’m a god,” Cansu puffed out his chest again. “My memory is as clear as the finest crystal. I briefly remember the loser meeting him through his memories, but I never personally did. I always snuck off to the flower fields to get away from the parties.” @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Kian pouted a bit at that. "Y-You think so..? Is.. would it really be that impossible? To do both..?" Kian asked quietly. Kian knew he couldn't exactly have his cake and eat it too, but the prince was used to being a tad bit selfish when it came to these sort of things. Though, a small smile did return on his face when Cansu remembered Agustin. "Yeah.. I figured. Uncle Persis said he could sense you out there all the time," he chuckled softly. "Uncle Agustin probably remembers you too... Though, he didn't really talk to other people beyond introductions." @Vanessa| Sovran+Zora+Cansu

“I don’t think you can have both, Kian,” Cansu huffed. “Sometimes, it just doesn’t work that way. This feels like one of those situations. I don’t exactly see either of them wanting to join you on your mission, I’d see them wanting to simply live with you.” “He’d come out there a few times just to see if I was enjoying myself,” Cansu stated. “Of course I was. He always outdid himself with his work on the flowers in Laputa. It was always a sight to behold. As for Agustin, Enzo was the same way, so they perhaps didn’t speak much.” @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Kian grew quiet at that, his steps slowing even more. "I-I don't need them to come with me.. Maybe just be my penpal o-or something... I know it's asking too much to ask them to uproot everything to follow me. They're humans, unlike you and Asra... They have other people they care about." Other people that they care more about than him. Kian was willing to bet with Asra and Cansu, he was still the most important human to them, at least. That train of thought honestly upset Kian, and without thinking, blue roses bloomed in his hair. Roses that would be quite familiar to both Cansu and Kian. Gently, Kian touched one of the roses on his head and he felt tears start to bubble up again. "Y-Yeah... yeah, Uncle Persis was the best, wasn't he?" He sniffled. @Vanessa| Sovran+Zora+Cansu

Once more, Cansu brushed his feather against his cheek. "I believe you need something more than a 'penpal,' Kian. Maybe they don't have to uproot everything, but you should considering placing your roots somewhere. I'm sure they wouldn't mind having you around." "He was the best," Cansu agreed. "But you are as well, Kian." @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

The prince seemed unsure about that, and the roses just seemed to grow in quantity. "...I'm not sure," Kian replied honestly. "I-I don't know how to.. live normally anymore, I guess. I still try to eat a-and shower like normal, but sometimes.. S-Sometimes I don't. I've gone years without doing either before.. A-And I haven't gone to school in a long time, o-or.. or anything normal..." Clearly, Kian was more worried about fitting in than actually settling down. He didn't what he'd do if he just.. stopped. Tears fell out of Kian's eyes despite how hard he tried to hold it in, and he raised his hand to wipe them. "I-I'm nothing like Uncle Persis... He'd be s-so disappointed in me.." @Vanessa| Sovran+Zora+Cansu

“Perhaps your immortal friend has had difficulty in doing the same. Perhaps she could assist you in adjusting back to life for youth your age.” Cansu commented. Cansu, for the tenth time this minute, let out another huff. “You and I know that Persis has never been disappointed in a single soul before. He would never be disappointed in you. He wasn’t ever disappointed in the loser, and he’s made plenty of mistakes in his life.” @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Kian tried to recall what Celena had said about her own immortal life, sniffling as the tears continued to fall. She moved places a lot... and she never really got close to anyone. He already did those things without settling down. The prince stopped in front of an empty exhibit, needing a moment to breath. By his feet, flowers and small vines began to grow. "...I-I know. I know you're right and that Uncle Persis would never feel that way.. I-I guess I'm... I'm disappointed in myself," the prince quietly admitted. "I don't know why they gave me their powers... they would of been better given to someone else. S-Someone more capable than me." @Vanessa| Sovran+Zora+Cansu

“Perhaps they did it out of remembrance rather than expectation,” Cansu replied. “In their eyes, they were leaving a piece of them with you. There’s no one more worthy than you, simply because you’re loved by them.” Ugh, he was beginning to sound like Asra. @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

The prince glanced down at Cansu with teary, watery eyes. If he was any closer, it probably would of been a splash zone for the bird. Kian knew Cansu was right. Cansu and Asra were always right about these things... and yet, Kian couldn't find it in himself to agree. "I-I don't know... I would like to believe that. I r-really do. I just..." Kian trailed off. 'I wished I could be more than what I am.' "...Would you a-and Asra be disappointed if I didn't stop?" @Vanessa| Sovran+Zora+Cansu

“To a degree, yes. We’d be disappointed that you’ve submitted yourself to a fate that makes you miserable.” Cansu answered truthfully. “All we wish for you is for you to take care of yourself and your well-being. We can tell that this quest isn’t the healthiest for you.” @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

That earned a small pout from Kian. Even to this day, he was still every bit a child. "..mm, b-but I do take care of myself," Kian rebutted as he had dried blood and sand staining his clothes, his hair unkempt with unruly curls, and fragments of his cape starting to fray. The utmost epitome of care. (Just like his uncle). "...I-I'll think about it though.. being with you and Asra again.. it sounds like fun," Kian smiled. @Vanessa| Sovran+Zora+Cansu

“Sure.” Was all that Cansu commented when it came to Kian’s appearance. His feathers brushed against Kian’s cheek once more. “As long as you think it over, that’s all Asra and I could ask for.” @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Kian leaned his cheek against Cansu, returning the small sign of affection. If he were anyone else, Cansu would of probably broken the boy down bit by bit, but thankfully, Kian had favorite human privileges. "Y-You and Asra have been there for me for a lot... I definitely d-don't want to disappoint you two.." Kian nodded solemnly. "S-Since you've been gone, have you seen anything else cool? Besides the storm?" @Vanessa| Sovran+Zora+Cansu

Cansu, unsurprisingly, leaned against Kian's cheek. Kian definitely had favorite human privileges. "There's very little you could do that would disappoint us. The cat would argue that there's nothing you could do that'd disappoint us." Cansu hummed. "As for any other sights worth mentioning, nothing has quite captured my attention like the storm has. Though, I have seen a few supernova explosions that have always caught my attention. Those are always a sight to see." @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

A small chuckle escaped Kian's lips, a few of the blue roses in his hair starting to shrink. A few white buds grew in their place. "W-Well, that relieves me a little bit. You guys are too good to me," he sniffled with a fond smile. Oh Cansu and Asra, you spoil the prince too much. Wiping his tears again, Kian nodded as he listened to Cansu. "A s-supernova..? That sounds really cool. There's n-no sound in open space, right? Was it quiet when it happened?" @Vanessa| Sovran+Zora+Cansu

"You're good to use as well. You tend to spoil us with feasts from your travels." Cansu wanted those seeds badly. He was a hungry birb. "It was silent, but there was also a- Calling, of some kind. Every element and every force of nature has its own call and its own cry. It's difficult to place the sound that it created to one that you may be familiar to." @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

He smiled at that. "You and Asra can be such bottom-less pits sometimes," Kian teased with a small laugh and gently kissed Cansu's side once again. Though, Kian curiously looked down at the chick when he explained what the supernova sounded like. "A sound.. b-but also a silence... It must of been quite beautiful," Kian hummed, glancing out towards the fake domed sky above them. "Say, Cansu.. d-do you have your powers still? Rakin altered my powers a bit when he took me here.. I wonder if he did the same to you?" @Vanessa| Sovran+Zora+Cansu

"I am not a bottomless pit. That cat is the glutton. I simply get my fill, and that's that." Cansu huffed. "It was. Perhaps you could experience it eventually." Cansu's feathers became slightly ruffled. "As for my powers, they're not as strong as they had been. If I was at full strength, I would've blown this place to pieces! It'd be a false supernova of its own by the time I would be through with it!" @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

"And how much is exactly your 'fill', all mighty God, Cansu?" Kian playfully asked in return. "I got you five gallons of those seeds from Ghana before.. and you finished them nearly the next couple of mornings," he laughed. The prince then held his hand to Cansu again, gesturing for the bird to get on. "C-Can you transform still..? Or are you stuck like this..?" @Vanessa| Sovran+Zora+Cansu

"At least I'm not like the cat who finished her food in nearly one sitting," Cansu huffed. "And yet she still wanted more." "Of course I can transform still," Cansu hopped onto Kian's hand. "I'm above the rules of this place, I can transform any time I wa-" There was a small burst of lightning that came from the chicken, but instead of him changing forms in front of Kian, he simply was- Gone. @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Kian opened his mouth to retort another joke, but the moment Cansu disappeared out of his hand, his eyes nearly popped out of his head. "CANSU?!!" The prince turned around to look for the chick, panic rising in his chest. Did Cansu just explode?! "C-Cansu!! Cansu!? W-Where did you go?" Kian started to run around, clearly thinking something bad happened to his chicken-brother. @Vanessa| Sovran+Zora+Cansu

A chirp could be heard from within the chicken coop. There, the smoking figure of Cansu could be seen. He was still the form of a small chick, and was currently on his back, rolling and unable to get up. His little legs were kicking wildly in the air as he tried to get up. "BLASTED CHICKEN COOP!!!" He shouted. @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Oh my god. Kian quickly ran back to the coop, careful to avoid the electricity and wires surrounding it, before sprinting to the baby bird. "C-Cansu! O-Oh my goodness. Are you okay?" He asked with worry as he picked up Cansu and turned him back onto his feet. @Vanessa| Sovran+Zora+Cansu

"BLASTED- DESPICABLE- TOXIC- UGH!!!" Cansu shouted as he was helped back up to his feet. The chick was absolutely fuming as he began to pace. "THIS BLASTED COOP IS USING MY ABILITIES TO POWER IT!!! I AM BEYOND BEING USED AS AN ENERGY SOURCE!! I WILL NOT BE A SLAVE TO THIS SYSTEM!!!!" @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Kian watched with an awkward stuper as Cansu paced in the small space of the pen. It was always interesting to hear Cansu's vocabulary come out of such a small and adorable body. "I-It's using your powers..?" He frowned and looked up at the space given to the animals. "M-Maybe I can disable it some how..? A coop doesn't really need an electric fence, anyways.." @Vanessa| Sovran+Zora+Cansu

Cansu was huffing and puffing with how upset he was. “If you could take a look, I can’t do anything with these fucking feathers- Ugh!” Agitated, Cansu pecked and tugged at his feathers, stressfully preening. Lil guy was big mad. @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

"H-Hey, hey.. Don't pull your feathers, Cansu. You're going to go bald again," Kian coaxed the baby bird and gently scratched Cansu's head to calm him down. After a good few scratches, Kian glanced back at the fence again. "I-I don't want to destroy the coop.. The other chickens still need it, but maybe I can somehow break the wiring..?" @Vanessa| Sovran+Zora+Cansu

“I will NOT-..” The petting always worked. The chick’s angry tremors slowly died down once he received the pets. His breathing relaxed slightly. “If the wiring can break, break it.” Cansu spoke in a quieter voice. He still seemed to be in a relatively bad mood, but at least he wasn’t preening anymore. @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Kian hummed, taking a couple steps away to go observe the fencing. He noticed the electric current that ran through the area, but didn't see any wiring that could of been putting up the field. "I.. I-I don't see anything.. It's like your electricity is the field.. not powering it," Kian frowned. "I don't want to risk destroying this entire pen.. It c-could hurt you too." @Vanessa| Sovran+Zora+Cansu

“GREAT- My power is being used in such a way- Ugh!” Cansu angrily pecked at the ground. “Destroy the pen! Or I’ll try and destroy it myself!!! I don’t care what harm comes onto me- I won’t be confined!” @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

The prince jogged back to Cansu, immediately picking up the chick in his hand and cradling him close to his cheek. "N-No, no, no.. No destroying the pen. The other chicks need a place here too!" Kian pouted and started to pet Cansu on the head once again. "I-I'll figure out a way to get the electricity to stop, okay? Until then, y-you have to behave with the rest of the other chickens." @Vanessa| Sovran+Zora+Cansu

“To hell with the other chickens!! They can find a DIFFERENT pen to stay in, one that isn’t powered by me!” Cansu shook with his rage. He grumbled as Kian forced him to calm down with the pets. “This is beneath me,” Cansu huffed. “FAR beneath me.” @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Kian continued to pamper Cansu with nuzzles and pets, sighing. "I know, I-I know.. but just for a little while, okay? I'll make you a little place of your own so that mommy hen can't sit on you, if you'd like." @Vanessa| Sovran+Zora+Cansu

“Fine,” Cansu mumbled. “A place of my own shall suffice for now.” @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

The roses in Kian's hair shifted to a white and yellow color, and he gently kissed Cansu's head again. "I-It'll be okay, Cansu," Kian reassured the chick as he looked around the area of the pen. He chose a spot between the food and water, and with the slight movement of his leg, created a small hut like structure out of some grass and vines. The entrance was small enough for only Cansu-sized creatures to get in, but still enough space to run around inside. Kian set Cansu down at the entrance before picking up some extra hay and putting it inside the small hut for Cansu's comfort. "T-There we go.. It's not as pretty as Uncle Persis would of made it.. but I tried," Kian said with a lopsided smile. @Vanessa| Sovran+Zora+Cansu

“This will suffice,” Cansu stepped inside of it and checked it out. Huh, this was nice. “Excellent work, Kian.” @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

More yellow roses bloomed in Kian's hair and he smiled sheepishly at Cansu. "R-Really? You like it?" The prince beamed as he looked over the little hut from the outside. "S-Sorry I couldn't make it cooler. I know you probably think it's kinda small and cramped.." @Vanessa| Sovran+Zora+Cansu

“Under that hen was small and cramped,” Cansu huffed. “This, however, is good. It’ll keep those blasted hens away from me until I can get away from them.” @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Kian chuckled and he peered inside the small entrance with a goofy smile. "I-Isn't it supposed to be warm and comfy under them? I used to cuddle with you a-all the time as a kid and you didn't seem to mind then." @Vanessa| Sovran+Zora+Cansu

Cansu huffed. “That was different, and you know it.” @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

The prince giggled and reached his hand inside, opening his palm for the chick. "B-But you liked it, didn't you?" Kian mused with a fond smile. "Y-You used to squawk and complain... but then you'd stay with me until I fell asleep." @Vanessa| Sovran+Zora+Cansu

“Someone had to make sure the cat wouldn’t roll on top of you in her slumber and suffocate you,” Cansu glanced away and huffed. “That’s all there was to it.” @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Kian giggled some more at that and he reached around to gently pet Cansu's head. "Mhm... sure," the prince lightly teased. "Y-You're the best brother I could ask for, Cansu. I love you and Asra so much.." @Vanessa| Sovran+Zora+Cansu

“.. But I am adored more than she is, correct?” Cansu asked after a moment of silence. @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Kian stared at Cansu for a moment, but then suddenly burst into a small fit of laughs. Without asking, Kian took Cansu and hugged him close to his chest again. "Awh, is someone a little jealous?" He teased. @Vanessa| Sovran+Zora+Cansu

“I DO NOT GET JEALOUS!” Cansu chirped loudly. He flapped his little wings as much as he could as he squirmed in Kian’s embrace. * “I especially am never jealous of that CAT!!!!” @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

That didn't help Kian's giggles. The prince fell onto his back, smiling from ear to ear. "Awh, it's okay, Cansu! I love you both equally very much!" He beamed, pressing another kiss to Cansu's head. "You guys are my best friends.. I-I couldn't choose one over the other.." @Vanessa| Sovran+Zora+Cansu

“I believe I am worthy of more affection than that cat.” Cansu huffed as Kian rolled onto the floor. “I easily choose you over that cat.” @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

"Asra would say the same, you know?" Kian chuckled as he rested Cansu onto his chest. The boy looked up at Cansu with a silly, childish grin, and started to pet him once again. "We're family. W-We gotta protect each other, even if we disagree sometimes." @Vanessa| Sovran+Zora+Cansu

“I’m sure she would,” Cansu huffed once more. “I suppose if I HAD to protect the cat, I would, for your sake.” The chick grumbled. @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Kian kissed the top of Cansu's head and nodded. "T-That's the Cansu I know... big, strong, and caring," Kian giggled. "Even if you pretend you're not.. I-I know you got a big heart, Cansu. I always feel safe with you. It's the same with Asra... I don't even remember a time before you two." @Vanessa| Sovran+Zora+Cansu

Cansu huffed as he received the smooch. “My heart is small, cold, and empty,” Cansu grumpily insisted. “But if you feel safe, then I suppose that’s a good thing.” @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

"Noooo.. it's big, warm, and full o-of love," Kian jokingly whined as he kissed Cansu again. "I do feel safe.. I-I always do with you guys. It's like... we're bonded together in some sort of way. M-Maybe it's cause I'm immortal now? I dunno.." @Vanessa| Sovran+Zora+Cansu

Cansu craned his head away from the kiss. “It is hollow and dark and practically nonexistent!” The bird insisted. “Perhaps we are bonded to you, in a lesser manner than how the Bond works between bonded and deities, but still are relatively bonded. Sometimes the bonds happen naturally over time. It could be that.” @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Kian pouted as Cansu turned away and he looked at the bird with big, wet eyes.

Though, when Kian had said 'bonded', he had meant more so in loose terms. Hearing Cansu say it could of been a natural forming one, Kian grew a bit worried. "I-It can happen like that too..? Oh, I'm sorry. I-I know you and Asra don't want to make any of those anymore. I didn't mean for it to happen-" @Vanessa| Sovran+Zora+Cansu

Cansu still kept his head turned away stubbornly. “Don’t be sorry for something that happens naturally. It won’t be like that of a Bond, just- A light one.” He paused. “But, if it had to be someone we form a Bond with, it’s not such a bad thing if it’s you.” @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

The prince sighed, resting his head down on the hay underneath him. If Cansu was gonna be stubborn, then no kisses for him. Kian stared at the fake blue sky above them, thinking upon Cansu's words with a small frown on his lips. "N-No.. You two deserve your freedom. I would never make you two do something like that again.." Kian replied solemnly. @Vanessa| Sovran+Zora+Cansu

“And that much is appreciated,” Cansu spoke. “Though I’m sure the cat would jump at the first chance to Bond with you.” @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Kian giggled a bit at that. His hand found its way back onto Cansu's head, gently petting him again as he spoke. "M-Maybe... but I don't want that for you guys. It's n-not like I even need your powers or anything.. Mama gave me hers.. which is basically Asra's. Then I have my own lightning powers. The only reason I'd bond with you guys is so I can annoy you forever," he lightly joked.

“You’re not annoying. You’re far more tolerable than that cat is.” Cansu huffed as he received his pets. His huffiness started to simmer on down. @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

"Hehe.. You just d-don't like it when Asra teases you," Kian mused. "You guys a-are just like mama and uncle Enzo," the boy commented, before a thought suddenly came to him. "Speaking of mama and uncle Enzo.. Mr. Sovran, the man I told you a-about... he's met them before in his world. Enough to where he knows them p-pretty well. Do you.. know anyone like Mr. Sovran in our world, Cansu?" @Vanessa| Sovran+Zora+Cansu (edited)

“I don’t like the cat at all times,” Cansu insisted. As he heard Kian speak, he shook his head. “I never met a ‘Sovran’ before. Perhaps the cat has. The name doesn’t sound familiar to me.” @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

"Mhm... I'll make sure to let Asra know that," Kian lightly teased with his usual goofy grin. Though, he did seem to fall back into his thoughts as he listened to Cansu. "Hm.. T-That's interesting. Maybe Mr. Sovran is out doing something else in our world then..." He thought aloud. "..I-It's a little strange to be here... meeting other people from different universes again." @Vanessa| Sovran+Zora+Cansu

“Sure, let the cat know,” Cansu pecked, playfully of course, at Kian’s hand. “What is this Sovran’s last name? Last names are more familiar given titles and the such.” “Ah, individuals from other universes, huh? Certainly makes you realize how small our world is.” @ajjjjjjjj (edited)

"Owww-" Kian feigned pain as he felt the pecks, but his whine failed him as he couldn't keep his giggles contained. "Mr. Sovran's last name..? Hm.. I-I don't think I ever asked, but he said he's from Kirsi," Kian replied after a moment. "H-He has a similar power to mine, but it's also.. different? It's a lot cooler, honestly. He can replicate powers from others a-and then those powers can manifest into the actual person in a way," the boy elaborated. Kian then looked back up at Cansu, nodding slowly. "Y-Yeah.. makes me feel pretty small," he commented. "...I like to think there's a world out there where I'm still living back home.. W-With everyone and nothing bad ever happens.." @Vanessa| Sovran+Zora+Cansu

Cansu listened to Kian speak when he gave a nod of his head. “Ah, Zelkovas. That family line from Kirsi has gotten the Replicate ability for generations. I’m not familiar with them directly, only that Marco wanted that ability at one point. The cat perhaps worked more closely to them as Ryla was spreading its connection to Kirsi during Aeva’s time, if I remember correctly.” “Given how many worlds and timelines there are, I wouldn’t be surprised if one took place in our past where that’s occurring. There’s millions of different universes.” @ajjjjjjjj (edited)

The Zelkovas family. So Cansu at least, in a vague sense, knew who Sovran was. "I-I see. I'll have to asked Asra about it when I see her again. Mr. Sovran did say he knew my mothers, but that he didn't quite know me there. I-I must still be a kid in his world," Kian slightly frowned. The boy sighed once again and finally mustered the strength to sit back up. He held Cansu in his hand, covering him with his small shadow. "It's nice to think about a place like that... My memories are getting hazy, lately. L-Like everything was almost a dream. If I focus, I can still remember plenty, but it's getting harder. I-I don't know how you and Asra keep your brain so sharp.." @Vanessa| Sovran+Zora+Cansu

“Perhaps. Surely, we can ask him more questions if or when we see him.” Cansu hummed. “It perhaps has to do with the fact that the cat and I are deities,” Cansu spoke. “Our minds are- ‘Built different’ than most. It could be difficult to endure life this long and keep a sound mind.” @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Kian nodded, the solemn look to his expression softening. He gently pressed Cansu up to his cheek again, wanting to feel the chick's warmth and touch. "Yeah.. I-I can ask some more when I see him. Maybe you two would have more to talk about... But Mr. Sovran is on the other side right now. I-It might be some time before I see him again," he sighed. The boy listened to Cansu closely, making sure to stay quiet. "I guess that makes sense... s-sometimes I forget you and Asra are actually gods.. you guys are just my cute best friends to me.." He giggled softly. @Vanessa| Sovran+Zora+Cansu

“You’d have to bring him here since I can’t leave this blasted coop,” Cansu huffed out, still frustrated with the situation. “Cute?” Cansu squawked out. “I am NOT ‘cute’!” @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Kian opened his mouth to say something in regards to bringing Sovran here, but was cut off by Cansu's squawk. "W-Why are you being so mean to me when this is the first time I'm seeing you in a decade?" Kian asked with his big wet eyes again.

"I-I just want to praise you. C-Can't I do that, Cansu?" @Vanessa| Sovran+Zora+Cansu

“Oh, stop your dramatics.” Cansu huffed and looked away. He couldn’t look into those eyes, or else he’d cave. “I’m not being any meaner than usual. In fact, I’m being kind!” @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Kian put himself face to face with Cansu.

"K-Kind Cansu would appreciate my compliments.. And then give me a kiss too-" He whined. @Vanessa| Sovran+Zora+Cansu

Cansu stubbornly turned his head in the other direction. This kid was killing him, absolutely killing him. “… Hmph…” Was all he said. Be strong, Cansu, be strong. @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Oh, that was it. The tears beaded up immediately and he sniffled. "O-Oh.. so you hate me now," Kian frowned. "I-I guess I'll just have to go find Asra to give her hugs and kisses.." @Vanessa| Sovran+Zora+Cansu

“WHAT?!” That has Cansu snapping his head back to look at Kian. “You wouldn’t TRULY go to the cat, would you?!” @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

With Cansu finally looking at him, Kian put his childish wet eyes on full blast. cowabummer

"W-Well.. If you don't take them o-or give me any... W-Who else am I supposed to go to?" @Vanessa| Sovran+Zora+Cansu

“.. Fine.” Cansu grumbled. “If it’ll prevent you from spoiling the cat, then- I suppose I will allow you to spoil me in such a way..” @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

"..A-And you'll spoil me the same way, right?" The boy urged.

@Vanessa| Sovran+Zora+Cansu

“.. Sure..” @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

"Then y-you'll be nice and give me a kiss in return now?" @Vanessa| Sovran+Zora+Cansu

"... Fine." Cansu, very quickly, pecked softly at Kian's cheek before turning away again. @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

In an instant, Kian's feigned hurt melted away, replaced with his usual childish grin. He beamed at Cansu and returned to kiss with one of his own. "That's my big brother chicken," he giggled. "I love you s-so much, Cansu. You know that, right?" @Vanessa| Sovran+Zora+Cansu

Grumbling, Cansu spoke, "More than the cat?" @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

"Mmmm.." Kian thought for a moment. "M-Maybe if you give me nuzzles and kisses without me asking, then yes." Clearly, the boy was enjoying messing with Cansu. @Vanessa| Sovran+Zora+Cansu

“.. Fine, I suppose I can do that..” Cansu huffed. @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Kian's eyes sparkled at that, and he brought Cansu up closer to look him in the face. "Y-You promise?" The boy asked with an excited look. "You have to promise!" @Vanessa| Sovran+Zora+Cansu

Cansu tensed up. He was never one to break promises, because he barely made them. This was something he’d have to uphold for the rest of their lifetimes. “.. I.. Promise..” The deity spoke after several moments of pondering. Maybe this wouldn’t be all too bad. @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

At first, Kian was just joking around, thinking Cansu would do the same, but now, quietly watching the chicken so deeply ponder this question, Kian was surprised with a rather pleasant sentiment. He smiled fondly at Cansu before giving him another soft kiss on top of his head. "I really do love you, Cansu--And yes, if it makes you feel better, more than Asra," Kian chuckled faintly. It was really an equal amount, but he figured Cansu deserved to hear it after all his hard work.@Vanessa| Sovran+Zora+Cansu

Pridefully, the chick puffed out his chest. heheblushy

"I knew that I was liked better than that cat," Cansu hummed. "If only she were around to hear that." @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Kian playfully rolled his eyes and booped Cansu's beak. "But now you m-made a promise to me. You can't break it now," the prince chuckled. "Asra has never broken a promise with me, s-so keep that in mind." @Vanessa| Sovran+Zora+Cansu

"I'll keep that in mind." The chick responded. He seemed pretty proud though to have Kian say out loud that Asra was loved less than he was. @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Again, Kian chuckled a bit. Cansu was so easy to read sometimes. "When we get back home, we'll go find Asra together, okay? T-Then we can see what she has to say about your promise," he mused. @Vanessa| Sovran+Zora+Cansu

"That sounds like the best idea you've ever had, Kian," Cansu let out a deep little chuckle. "I can only imagine her reaction until then.." @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

The prince playfully rolled his eyes again and gently poked Cansu's side. "You know, I-I might have to give Asra more cuddles when I see her since I haven't seen her for longer now. That'll be okay, right?" @Vanessa| Sovran+Zora+Cansu

“Hmph, I suppose she could get some ‘cuddles.’ I suppose I’ll let that pass.” Cansu grumbled. He could live with that. @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Kian chuckled. "You're so kind a-and understanding, Cansu," the boy playfully teased. "It'll be nice to get to cuddle with both of you again.. Maybe I'll be able to sleep soundly again." @Vanessa| Sovran+Zora+Cansu

“I’m sure that you’ll be able to. You always did seem to sleep best when the cat and I were nearby.” Cansu commented. @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

"Mhm... I-I did," Kian nodded in agreement. He honestly couldn't remember when the last time he had a peaceful sleep was. Kian felt like he was always on the move, and when he wasn't, he was alert of his surroundings, never safe. Absently, Kian pet Cansu's feathers, just enjoying his time together. "When we meet Asra.. c-can we take a photo together too?" @Vanessa| Sovran+Zora+Cansu

“You wish for a picture?” Cansu asked. “Very well. If you want one, I suppose I could take a picture with you.” @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Kian nodded, an exicted look to his eyes. "Mhm! L-Like the one I have with my moms and sisters," he said as he reached into his pocket for the photo he had. "Can we dress up for it too? M-Make it fancy like this one?" @Vanessa| Sovran+Zora+Cansu

Cansu looked at the photo. He tried his best to look disinterested in it, but his gaze noticeably lingered on Aeva and Opal for a few moments. The chick then turned away from it to look at Kian. “I suppose we could dress up. How would you expect me to appear?” Cansu asked. @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

If Kian noticed Cansu staring, he didn't comment on it. He was lost in thought as he stared at his mothers as well. They seemed so happy together. Even his sisters were happier then. Then his uncle was there with them. He seemed so energetic that day. Everything was.. perfect. "Mm.. M-Maybe you can wear something blue a-and Asra can wear something red. What would you like to wear?" Kian asked, never taking his eyes off the photo. @Vanessa| Sovran+Zora+Cansu

“Anything beats wearing green,” Cansu made a face. “I am content with blue, it’ll go stunningly with my feathers.” @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Kian giggled at that. "I think you're more of a blue guy, anyways," he agreed and gently pet Cansu's head. "I think it'd be nice t-to take the photo in a garden... do you think they'll let me come back home for the photo?" @Vanessa| Sovran+Zora+Cansu

“They should. If not, I’ll have plenty to say about it.” Cansu huffed. @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

The prince playfully rolled his eyes. "Don't yell at the knights, Cansu.. That w-would make uncle Persis really sad," Kian commented. "I-I wonder if any of the descendants from the people we knew are still there. Kaya took the thrown b-before I left... So m-maybe some of her great-grandkids are still there." @Vanessa| Sovran+Zora+Cansu

“I’ll yell if I need to yell.” Cansu responded. “But- Fine, I won’t. Perhaps her great-grandchildren are there, I do not know. I haven’t visited their kingdom in quite some time.” @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Kian tried to think back when the last both Asra and Cansu were in Laputa. Asra had stayed until Kaya's kids were born.. But Cansu only sparsely visited. "It.. m-must of been after mother's send off. I believe you came to visit me a-and my sisters. I left soon after my mother passed, so if you visited any time after that, I wouldn't know," Kian hummed. @Vanessa| Sovran+Zora+Cansu

“I haven’t visited,” Cansu shook his head. “I saw no reason to once you left.” @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Kian chuckled a bit at that. "You didn't e-even want to visit Oki? I remember you and her got along quite well. Though.. I guess she did grow a bit distant after.. w-well, after uncle Persis passed... but I'm sure that was just about everyone," Kian said a small sad smile. "You know, actually.. do you remember Aunty Albanes? I.. there's s-someone here who I think is related to her. W-Well, sort of. He had died during one of the earlier fights, but then was allowed to come back recently. He's also.. an odd case of an alternate universe." @Vanessa| Sovran+Zora+Cansu

If Cansu could raise an eyebrow, he would’ve. “Albanes? I remember. Who’s the individual that you believe is related to her?” Cansu asked. @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Kian awkwardly shifted his gaze and put the photo of his family back into his pocket. "Aunty Albanes.. she t-told me a little bit about her life before she married Aunty Madelyn.. She said she had a mentor. His name was Yeonaixho.. and he's here. H-He has a wife and daughter, but he seems so.. different than what Aunty Albanes described him as. He must be a completely different person from the man Aunty Albanes knew.. but it was still a bit shocking to learn he was alive here," Kian explained. "I'm quite fond of his wife and daughter though.. they're n-nice. They sorta remind me of what normal life was back home.." @Vanessa| Sovran+Zora+Cansu

“This Yeonaixho may be from another universe. That would make the most sense. I can imagine it must be-.. Shocking, for you, to see this individual.” “Wife and daughter? What are they like?” @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Kian slowly nodded as his fingers brushed through Cansu's feathers. "Mhm.. w-well, I still technically haven't met him yet. I've seen him from afar, a-and I've heard a lot about him.. but that's all," he sighed. "B-But his wife and daughter—Miss Jymaiyri and little Minerva... they're the best. Miss Jymaiyri has nature powers like uncle Persis did! T-Though, hers is a bit different. And little Minerva is the cutest thing ever. She's only about five.. o-or six months old, but she's already so smart." @Vanessa| Sovran+Zora+Cansu (edited)

“Hm. Do you want to talk to him directly? Or would it be strange to do so?” Cansu asked. Part of him wanted to interact with this version of Yeonaixho. It’d be interesting to see “How is it different than Persis’?” Now Cansu definitely was intrigued. “Is it more plant-based than flower based?” @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Kian thought about it for a moment, before giving a small shrug. "I-I would like to confirm he's a good man myself. He's a father to Celena.. so I want to make sure she's in good hands. A-And with Miss Jymaiyri, it seems a lot more limited than uncle Persis' power was. Her plants die like normal, a-and she can't exactly make them from nothing like uncle Persis could," Kian explained. @Vanessa| Sovran+Zora+Cansu

“He has two daughters? I thought you said his daughter was named Minerva.” Cansu chirped. “Ah, I see. Her abilities do sound different than Persis’. His are superior in every way.” @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Kian nodded. "O-Oh, I mean, he has one birth daughter named Minerva.. He's taken some others in since his time here. Celena and her sister Nora.. I'm sure they see Yeonaixho as their father," Kian elaborated. "A-And Miss Jymaiyri's power is just as amazing, Cansu.. you would agree if you met her," he faintly pouted. @Vanessa| Sovran+Zora+Cansu

“I see. He’s taking some children under his wing, then. Generous.” Cansu suddenly looked frustrated as he remembered that he had no traveling rights. “I’d be able to see it if I could get out of this damn coop..” @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

"Mhm.. s-so.. He doesn't sound too bad, especially since Celena said she really likes him," Kian hummed. He glanced around the coop again, frowning as he also remembered Cansu was stuck in here. "Miss Jymaiyri is on the other side of this place right now, anyways.. S-So, we would have to wait until another fight to even have the chance to see her," Kian sighed. @Vanessa| Sovran+Zora+Cansu

“I see. Then, I suppose he may not be so terrible. I would remain cautious until you know more about him.” Cansu stated. “It’s best to be careful when it comes to others.” “Ah, then, when she switches, you should bring her here. I’m sure she would be honored to display her abilities to a deity.” @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

"Right.. W-Well, I would like to try and make some friends still.. Besides Celena... I-I've only really met one other kid about my age, but he's a bit.. odd. I just recently met someone new, but they're not doing the best right now either.." Kian sighed. Though, Kian then gave Cansu a small smile and nod. "O-Okay.. I'll make sure to bring Miss Jymaiyri here. I'm sure little Minerva will be with her too, so you can meet the baby too!" @Vanessa| Sovran+Zora+Cansu

“Odd, how? Does he treat you unkindly?” Cansu’s feathers became ruffled. “I shall tear him to pieces, then.” His feathers smoothed out. “Ah, the infant? I haven’t been around an infant since you were one.” @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

"O-Oh, no, no, Cansu. Nothing like that. Don't just hurt people-" Kian said with a wave of his hand. "His name is Dante and he's an amphib. He's nice.. b-but he's a little bit of an enthusiastic romantic. Apparently, newt amphibs have to mate around his age or else his mother is going to be upset with him..? S-Something like that, so he's been desperately going around trying to find a girl who will let him." Kian sighed, but then smiled a bit again. "Really..? Well, I-I guess that makes sense. You fit perfectly in both my hands back then.. now you fit in one," Kian giggled. "You like babies, don't you, Cansu? You can't be mean to little Minvera, got it?" @Vanessa| Sovran+Zora+Cansu

“I see. So, he’s a loser then.” “I will be civil with the infant.” Cansu promised. @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Kian stared at Cansu, like he wanted to deny what he said, but couldn't find a reason to. "N-No.. just.. odd," he said instead, clearly lying, but still not wanting to be mean. "And good.. you should be civil with everyone though, Cansu.." @Vanessa| Sovran+Zora+Cansu

“I know losers. This person’s a loser.” Cansu huffed. “I’ll be civil with those who I choose to be civil with.” Cansu grumbled. “I don’t have to be civil with everyone.” @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

"A-And what exactly is a loser to you, Cansu? Y-You call at least every other person that," he sighed. "...And this is why Asra is always the more popular one," Kian commented. @Vanessa| Sovran+Zora+Cansu

“… There’s a difference with losers and idiots. Most people are idiots, but it’s a special kind of person to be a loser.” Cansu huffed. “I could care less for who’s more popular.” @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Kian sighed once again, clearly on the losing side of this conversation. "I love you, Cansu.. b-but I think your people skills still need some work," Kian said as he gently pet Cansu's feathers. @Vanessa| Sovran+Zora+Cansu

“I could care less for humans, why should I focus on being liked by them?” Cansu asked. “I think my ‘people skills’ are at the right level.” @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

"W-Well.. I'm human.. do you not care about me liking you?" Kian curiously asked and tilted his head at Cansu. @Vanessa| Sovran+Zora+Cansu

“You’re different.” Cansu answered. “Everyone else, they could perish.” @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Kian opened his mouth to retort something, but the announcement of the fight made his eyes widen. "M-Miss Jymaiyri?" The boy stumbled to get up, still holding Cansu in his hand. "I-It's her fight! She's fighting Nora-" Kian frowned as he realized who that was. The other girl who was Celena's sister. "W-We're going to the fight, Cansu-" And before Cansu could say anything, Kian lifted his hand up—along with Cansu—and teleported them both out of the coop. @Vanessa| Sovran+Zora+Cansu

With a zap, Kian landed back in the chicken coop, Cansu still pressed against his chest. The prince sniffled as his eyes fluttered open and he relaxed as he saw the familiar scenery. "C-Cansu?" Kian quietly said as he looked down at the chicken, making sure he was still there with him. @Vanessa| Sovran+Zora+Cansu

“I am here,” Cansu replied. He fluttered his free wing to alert Kian of his presence. @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Kian nuzzled his face against Cansu, taking in another long breath. "I-I.. I don't feel very well, Cansu.." he mumbled. "I.. I want to go home.." @Vanessa| Sovran+Zora+Cansu

“You’ll go home soon, I’ll make sure of it,” Cansu reassured. @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

He gently leaned his head against Cansu, just needing to be comforted and reassured. After a short while, Kian finally pulled Cansu away and looked down at him with a saddened expression. "I.. I-I should go look for someone who can help get you out of here. P-Promise me you'll stay here and be safe, Cansu?" @Vanessa| Sovran+Zora+Cansu

“I will stay in the small temple you built me,” Cansu spoke. “Travel safely, Kian.” @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Kian nodded, placing a gentle kiss on Cansu's forehead before settling him down in front of the little hut. "I-I'll be back soon. Promise. Stay safe," he told the chick again before standing up and rushing out of the pen. @Vanessa| Sovran+Zora+Cansu

Cansu hobbled into his little hut. @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Isabelle and Tsubari arrived to the zoo together, quite unintentionally really. "You do know split up means different directions, right?" "You followed me." "No I- nevermind. Let's just look around." Isabelle didn't seem to notice anyone around the zoo, but Tsubari happened to be looking into the enclosures, captivated by the few animals that were present. @Vanessa| Sovran+Zora+Cansu (i'm here for a chicken rescue)

In the chicken coop, there was a little hut that was created. From the inside of it came out a small chick, one that could easily fit in your hand. Probably weighed as much as a few grapes. "Ah, more travelers," Cansu hummed. "What brings you here? Is it my presence that you wish to bask yourselves in?" The chicken spoke. With the voice of a grown ass man. Why was the chicken speaking- @Gab | Ip🪩 + Subaru

"What the fuck?-" the question was blurted out without much thought. "Hey, if you're going to be a child, can you at least not- what the fuck?" Isabelle stopped as she looked over at the source. A lil chicken. Just a lil guy. "What's your name, little eldritch chicken baby guy?" Subaru was careful to avoid the electrified fence, looking over at Cansu like an excited child. @Vanessa| Sovran+Zora+Cansu

The little chick puffed out his chest in pride. "I am Cansu, deity of lightning and water," Cansu spoke proudly. "What is your name?" @Gab | Ip🪩 + Subaru

"You don't look like a deity." Subaru replied. "My name is Subaru." Isabelle was more confused than anything. She wasn't addressed so she's just kinda watching this happen. "If you're a deity, why are you in there when we're out here?" @Vanessa| Sovran+Zora+Cansu (edited)

"I am a deity," Cansu insisted with a bit of annoyance in his voice. "I am simply in a form that is beneath me, as my true form is complex for the human mind to comprehend. Though, this form is one of my weakest ones. The fence surrounding this coop is feeding off of my power, reducing me to THIS. Thus, I am trapped." @Gab | Ip🪩 + Subaru

Well now Isabelle was curious. "Why would Alrai Pin have a 'deity' locked up with its own power?" Her eyes aglow once more, she noted the energy running through the fence. Her head was starting to hurt. "So you are an eldritch chicken thing. Hey, you wanna help us beat up the guy who put you here?" @Vanessa| Sovran+Zora+Cansu

"Because Alrai Pin doesn't have the strength to confine me with its own strength. It has to use MY own power to confine me." Cansu huffed. Cansu ruffled his feathers. If the chicken was capable of smiling, he would be. "I will be more than happy to help beat the shit out of the bitch who put me in here." @Gab | Ip🪩 + Subaru

Isabelle just kinda stood there for a minute before looking at Subaru, who was ecstatic at the concept of jailbreaking a chicken. "Alright then. Tsubari, play it." Subaru nodded and pulled up the video, drowning out any and every sound in the zoo. Isabelle took a deep breath before focusing on the electric fence. Surprisingly to those who were not aware of the power, the sparks of the fence subsided as Isabelle redirected the energy. While it was redirecting, Isabelle motioned to Tsubari, who grew a few inches and reached out their hands for Cansu to hop into. @Vanessa| Sovran+Zora+Cansu

Cansu immediately leapt from the ground and into Tsubari's hand. Yup, he definitely weighed as much as a few grapes. "FREEDOM!" The chick cackled. @Gab | Ip🪩 + Subaru

Tsubari just placed the chicken on their little beanie as Isabelle let the lightning fall back into place. She hunched over on the ground, breathing heavily. Definitely the heaviest thing she's done so far. She's gonna need a minute and it's not gonna be here. "Alright. You're free now. We have to split up for real now." Isabelle peaced out. Meanwhile Tsubari looked determined. "Alright eldritch chicken. We have to recruit more people to our cause. Any suggestions?" @Vanessa| Sovran+Zora+Cansu

"I haven't met anyone else here, but I'm sure I could compel them to fight for us." Cansu chirped."Kian would want to fight." @Gab | Ip🪩 + Subaru (edited)

"I do not know a Kian. But that is what I asked for so Kian it is!" Tsubari didn't really mind the compelling to fight thing. "What does Mr. Kian look like?" @Vanessa| Sovran+Zora+Cansu

"Kian is a small child," Cansu nodded. "You will know him when you see him." @Gab | Ip🪩 + Subaru

"Wait there's actual children here?" Subaru was a tad concerned by the thought but eh off they go to look. @Vanessa| Sovran+Zora+Cansu

(Subaru there's an infant here)

(different)\

"He is eighteen years of age, but that is a child in my eyes." Cansu responded. @Gab | Ip🪩 + Subaru

"Legally speaking, that is a child in most countries." They are having this discussion into the void to find Kian. @Vanessa| Sovran+Zora+Cansu

"What's a country?" @Gab | Ip🪩 + Subaru
