awakenerd | Aurora - Rean Heart

Don't lie to my face, because you're continuing on that being vaguely mysterious train. [Can you FEEL his judgement, not!Rean's dad? Because he's actually got a good judging dad stare.]]

Why did you show up then? It's never gone well when I learn about people's dads.

"I thought I should see who my son has a crush on. And the ethical crisis of a soldier is, shall we say, more my forte than the others. Perhaps you would rather speak to a more familiar face. El-Prado, or Ordine."

[Going red at that because he knows Rean likes me, but it's???? An actual crush?!?!?!?!]

[Hello all the flustered feelings.]

....it wasn't much of an ethical crisis. Situation, maybe, but not a crisis. Whose El-Prado and Ordine?

"Ah, I think you would know them as Rufus or Crow."

I wouldn't peg Rufus to go for a nickname like El-Prado, and he certainly doesn't fit for that to be his real name.

[SUSPICIOUS AGAIN.]

The man laughs.

"No, the one you know is simply Rufus. However the Rufus here is, without a doubt, also and undeniably, El-Prado, the Golden Knight."

Ah.

You see them as their roles before themselves.

[And that's a lot more points in the 'is probably an asshole' bucket.]

"No. I see us as who we are. Just as Rean is Valimar, the Ashen Knight. And just as we all exist within him, to a small degree, and he within us. What we are and who we are is inseparable. More so than even an identity such as "soldier", "knight" or "prince" we are Divine Knights. That cannot be changed until our fate is ended."

.....one of these days, I will hear about someone's father and they won't be an asshole who fucks with people's identity issues. But that day isn't today, unfortunately.

"I am not holding you here, young Dusk. You may leave as you will and find who you wish to speak to. If what I say bothers you perhaps it will bother you less to hear it from other sources."

Oh no, it will bother me, but I'm not surprised. I just really hate it from father's because they don't know how to be a fucking dad first before all the other bullshit. If you can't put the kid first, don't be a father, simple as that.

[And he's gonna flip him off and focus on finding Crow.]

The man shrugs but he disappears and instead Crow drops in from the nothingness and gives a jaunty wave.

"Hey hot stuff, looking for me?"

I'm looking for someone whose face I won't want to beat in. [Which he probably would with the other guy because he REALLY hates bad fathers.]

Also you're a smart guy and I'm trying to figure out what I'm supposed to be doing.

[So much frustration and worry now.]

"Don't worry. I get it. If I could gut that guy I would. I've tried a few times. He's a fucking cockroach.

Buuu~t~ not worth our time right now.

Don't think I can help on what you're supposed to do. But I can tell you how to do what you want to do."

....cockroaches still die eventually. [He's speaking from experience. MAYBE A THING TO TALK TO CROW ABOUT LATER.]

I want to not hurt Rean, but apparently I'm in his soul, and for some reason I can just accept that as a thing.

"Well I've been in his soul for centuries. Forgotten what it was like to find it weird.

He's pretty sturdy but he's also really fragile. Just play nice, you shouldn't fuck anything up too bad."

Yeah, that's easier said than done when it'll randomly throw me into a void and he's reacting to what I'm feeling, and me just stopping my emotions is apparently bad.

[U G H]

"Man. You're overthinking it. Just think about what you want. Be specific. He'll try to meet you halfway. If you get hung up on worrying you'll just drag yourself down."

It's his soul, there's no way to not be worried! Things like that...they can do a lot of hurt.

[He sighs, rubbing at his face.] There's things I want to help Rean with, but I shouldn't do it in something like this. [Because he wants to help with the fact he will keep things to himself, that he feels like he should always come second, but it's his SOUL.]

"Man he's literally a tool used to being mind controlled by assholes. You don't have to change things, you can always just look around. If you see something you really want to mess with, just call for me or something, or ask him directly.

He's thousands of years old. I did say he's fragile, sure, but it's not like you want to fuck things up, so you probably won't."

....

Is....

Is there a way to make it so assholes can't mind control him?

[HE DOESN'T KNOW MAGIC, but he's in his soul, he can at least ask????]

[And then that's not changing Rean, that's changing bullshit magic, so winning????]

"Hm... Don't think so. He'd have to stop being what he is. That's a little beyond the scope of whatever you can do from in here, as far as I know."

That would be too easy, huh?

"You're talking about turning The Puppet Knight into a Real Boy. That's above and beyond the level of snooping around his psyche I'm afraid."

He is a real boy. Magical contracts or not. [Defensive and heated.]
