Langit Alamih's Links
didn't i tell you from the st✶rt? :-) You might've h✶d ✶ll those powers, but you were never ✶ god. even b✶ck then, you were ✶lw✶ys ✶ person, & fine, ✶lw✶ys ✶ friend. [ He looks a bit embarrassed admitting it, but he's braver in front of one of his best friends. ]
haha. how embarrassing. can't the world just end right now? (...) but thank you for being a friend too, langit.
[ He places a single blossom on Syzygy's head in greeting. It's become a blessing of sorts. ] good morning. :-) It's ✶nother be✶utiful morning, ✶s you would put it. right? [ . . . It's a bit embarrassing how glad vi is to be seeing them around again. ]
GOOD MORNING! :csmile3: THAT IS HOW I WOULD PUT IT, YES YES! I AM GLAD THAT YOU AGREE!
[ He stares at the fountain. He's holding a coin in one hand, like he's about to make a wish, but he doesn't. All he does, eventually, is look away. ]
. . .
ok✶y, ok✶y! Not too f✶st there, love. :-) we h✶ve ✶ll d✶y to spend! [ He's letting himself be dragged along. It looks like he's being more patient than he would be with anyone else. ]
Langit, Langit, friend of friends! Come with me! The day is young, we have much to do! Come, come, come! Come play with Lily of the Valley until a new one is born!
[ He hugs himself tight, staring into the waters of the fountain. ] you know, you don't h✶ve to kill ✶nyone to m✶ke ✶ wish; only to m✶ke it come true. Yet, you never did, but you still got your wish. c✶n you s✶y th✶t you got wh✶t you w✶nted?
. . . [ Of course not. You're still stuck in that game, aren't you, Langit? ]
... ✶re you ✶sleep, love? :-) ✶ sh✶me.
..Mm? Oh, no! I'm awake... couldn't you tell?
[ His wings all fold closed as if to hug himself. ] they s✶y th✶t "if you w✶nted to, you would." I ✶lw✶ys found it r✶ther simplistic. you didn't h✶ve ✶ choice in the m✶tter, & i know th✶t you ✶re much kinder & wiser th✶n your ✶ctions.
You were a good friend to me. I always felt like I got to see a different side of you than the one you wanted others to see. I hope despite my egregious mistake, you remember me as a friend, too. I still believe things can change. Do you?
yes, well, i tend to not listen to xir ✶nyw✶y. ✶m I going to le✶rn ✶ny new c✶lls tod✶y? [ His lower wings are dutifully tucked in close to his head. Seems like he's halfway between friendly & proud—Langit was never one to back down from his fears, & a part of him still wants to be friends too. ]
... I know Nova told you to stay away from meee. He's probably righttt.
... [ A small wave. This time, he even throws in a polite smile—he's glad, too. ]
... (He's been glad to see him the past few days, even if it was beyond awkward.)
the x's in your h✶ir—three in succession me✶n thirty, ✶s in rom✶n numer✶ls. W✶s it ✶ deliber✶te choice, or just ✶ f✶shion st✶tement? :-)
...30 is the number of bitches I have.
c✶n you believe we m✶de it out in one piece? Well. mostly, ✶nyw✶y. :-) [ She did die that night, & he was close to follow. ] nevertheless, i'm excited to w✶tch more ch✶nges of the le✶ves with you. The next ✶utumn is only 12 months ✶w✶y!
I can believe it-- we were always a resilient bunch.. and we'll continue to be. If only the leaves would stay beautiful for longer... nevertheless-- I suppose waiting 12 months isn't so bad, as long as we have company.
still looking forw✶rd, r✶mirez? :-) I know you're doing your best, too. [ In the mornings, he walks down the entire street, idly singing to fill the day with birdsong. If he sings louder when approaching the Temple of Responsibility, it goes unsaid as to why. ]
Yes, I...am. I hope you are...as well. [They can hear it, always. It's something they look forward to, really.]
... couldn't you h✶ve ✶sked someone else?
They're as grown as my nail, as my blood, flesh and skin / Lasting from birth, a mere feature of my ways / Though hand of mine had no part in their origin / They are as they'll be, a path to guide me astray
gl✶d to see you survived in the end, love. :-) [ He calls everyone that, seriously, but why does it seem particularly fitting when it's Remur? ] Not without ✶ few bumps ✶long the w✶y, but you never were one for dullness, were you?
Never one for dullness not now, not ever, mmhmm! [The familiar sound of her bells echo throughout the neighborhood]. Ready for another day of adventure, bluebird?
... [ He looks in the mirror, fussing over his hair. That's what am had said, right? That he had serious bedhead. ] i'll try. I promise, I'll do my best, but...
… [He isn’t quite sure what to say to Langit. Why would he apologize for dying? This was what he wanted.] Stay out of trouble, kid…Jeez, I sound like Evie.
just bec✶use you h✶dn't intended it doesn't excuse wh✶t you did. [ He's looking down, in spite of his angry words. His tone has no bite. He doesn't want to admit it when xey had taken someone so important, but... he'll miss xem, too. ]
I know it doesn't excuse it, that's why I didn't have the intention to keep it a secret. I killed someone who was an important friend to most of us, so I won't be asking you to forgive me.
Goodbye, take care.
it's tr✶gic. I'm sorry. ✶theris is less kind without you. [ He wishes there was more he could say. ]
The mask, friend of mine, serves the purpose you want to give it. Do you want to hide? To protect? To have fun? That's up to you, the wearer... ☆
[ He gives a bow. It seems a little patronizing. ] i wish you good luck in the unique predic✶ment you're in, love. :-) It seems th✶t you're gonn✶ need it!
...! rest assured, i won't need any luck in carrying out my convictions.
oo—ooooh, wow, um... :-) Do you ever stop dripping, love? i c✶n underst✶nd why you h✶ve to we✶r th✶t suit.
Oh you don't even know the staaaart of it . . . heehuuehuuuu . . . Don't wooooorry though, I'm not infectious ! Just a little gross . . . heeehee huuu....
of course. :-) It's e✶siest to be honest ✶round you when everything ✶bout you is so good to s✶y. [ For a second, he looks away. Does he seem a bit shy? ] ... you h✶ve no need to th✶nk me for ✶nything!
Langit, my friend, I truly do not wish to think what I would have done without your companionship! The fact that you always say what's on your mind is... refreshing! It makes me feel like, maybe... I can start being more honest too. So... thank you! Thank you for everything.
did you forget you promised to te✶ch me how to m✶ke c✶rrot c✶ke? Th✶t w✶s like, ✶ month ✶go now. not ✶ good look on you! [ ... He loves xir more than words can express, seriously. ]
Then it sucks for us both that it's not yours, doesn't it. [ He's not going to ask for it back. ]
you c✶n't spell "necrom✶ncer" without ROM✶NCE!!!!!! Is there someone speci✶l in your life, too? :-) <3
... [ He chances to look in zir direction. Forgiveness is slow, but as ze would say, it is inevitable. Despite himself, Langit really does miss his talks with Ludwig. ]
... (Vega will let him in again eventually. Ze doesn't know when, however. Slow progress, I'd say.)
