Retsarra "Howling Blade"

“Is it that obvious…?” His ears fall a little flat.

“What’s it like? Last I heard about it was too many summers ago.”

“Are you sure? I wouldn’t want to keep you from any world saving… but I’d like that.”

Well, looks like he can’t back out now…

((I know I just sent him out in a journey but what if angst on journey?)£

Restarra blinks and instinctively looked in the direction he heard his name.

“Ah! I could ask you the same… I’m, well, I thought I’d finally take a trip. Make the most of my retirement.”

“No? I bought them myself from the booth.” He pointed over to a ticket booth to the side.

“It was recommended for those who haven’t been to Tural before and don’t know their way around. So I grabbed one.”

“Tickets to visit Tural…” He looked at the Miqo’te with a lopsided smile. The tickets were for a week long Alpaca pass as well as his train ticket there and back.

“Figured I best do something other than training for once but… hmm I’m wary. Is that strange?”

Retsarra stands at the station inside of the Vanguard, tickets and pamphlet in hand as he waits for the train, ears flat and low as he stares down the tracks.

((I'm sorry for sucking in terms of replying to things, MH has honestly taken a bit of a nosedive to the point that I've been having sleep issues/just having moments where I just zone out for ages ;-; TY for being patient and let me know if I'm missing any replies!!!))

You survived. You did great.

What does that make you? My knight in a glitterball armour?

You didn’t have to call it kidnapping!

What why?!?

WH IM NOT CUTE

I’ve never seen it either…

Me

Can you imagine thinking a small spinning metal ball is the sun?

So uh… finally got checked out today from the sentry attack…

Broke a collarbone, three fingers and bruised several bones too.

That explains so much

((I AM WHEEZING))

“I was on my way to see if Eutrope, Yama and Neyuni were ok I’ve not heard from anyone…”

He noticed the wince.

“I… I’m sorry I… damn i feel like if I can’t physically touch someone then I could be imagining it…” he slowly removed his hand, nibbling on his lip.

“She would’ve but…I would stilll do it. I would still risk it for others.”

The Hhetsarro frowned, placing a hand on Seraphs shoulder.

“Don’t you dare say that. You had no idea this would happen. None of us did. You did what you could and that’s more than enough…”

Who? You d like to have a word with them.

“Amongst the panic I just… there was so many of those sentries so I thought if I were to be stupid and lose my self to psychonekrosis… saving people instead of putting on a show would be the best way, especially considering Fenrir’s abilities…”

“I usually have him with me at all times…” he slowly let go of Green checking him over.

“I was in a similar case… down near one of the apartment districts… they started going after kids… /Kids/! I did what I could and…”

He took a deep breath, taking Seraph back to the bench.

I’m sorry WHAT?

“Didn’t want people to think I treated Fenrir like a toy or something stupid like that…”

The tip of his tail, which wasn’t covered in blankets, flicked about as he stared at the projector.

“Can you see ok? It’s pretty dark in here.”

What was strange though was Retsarra was actually wearing his regulator for once.

As soon as he got close enough, Retsarra grabbed Seraph, pulling the Shetona into a tight hug, not caring that it hurt, the stings only making himself feel more alive.

“As are you! I… I feared the worst…”

Reddish eyes darted all over to make sure Seraph didn’t have any life changing injuries.

Retsarra dashed to the bench, eyes widened when he saw the Shetona. His own body had part wrapped in bandages.

“Green?! Green! Is that you?!”

I’d project stuff onto the walls so I could watch and train at the same time.”
