Good old reliable, I don't mind my brother's presence though sometimes he can be overbearing and annoying.
"..."
"Hope you don't mind me crashing with Mrs. Stone face. You should teach me some make-up tips :)"
"That doesn't make any sense."
"I'm going to protect you so hard, you won't even know you're being protected."
"Jackal is....a handful. I'm thankful for his help in this sensitive situation." Novem does not consider Jackal a friend, but Jack doesn't need to know that.
"We are literally besties."
The only one Novem will be genuine around. Yet there seems be an air of nervousness and fear around him.
"The Ninth does not seem keen on seeing me right now."
"Haru is very hardworking and determined. I just wish he'd hire other baristas so he could rest a bit more..." is what Novem would say if asked about what he thinks of the barista. However, the truth remains unknown. Perhaps Novem enjoys Haru's presence, or maybe he just appreciates the respite the shop brings. All that could be said is that it's never good to have Novem's attention for long.
"I noticed that he's at Algernon a lot these days, always reading and writing something. Novem's a great customer, he's very polite and pleasant to talk to - and nice to look at too. It's just a shame that he prefers the corner seat than the large ones by the window..."
"Please refrain from using that name."
"Nolan! Surprised you're still around, hope you're allowed to come down soon."
" I believe you're the one who gets on mine."
"This guy doesn't know when to stop, he gets on my nerves sometimes."
The roomie! Hope he works out everything with his family, I like doing what I can for him. He's a nice guy.
Roommate of mine. Malachi does well in his studies and helps me when I get stumped.
Niko seems to be in a rather dangerous profession, luckily my abilities can aid with that but oh- I don't think I can remain 'human' in his eyes for much longer...
She's damn cute, and she has money? (⁄ ⁄•⁄ω⁄•⁄ ⁄) Hope she'll spoil me again.
Mine is a kind and helpful person. Every time he's seen her she's helped either someone else or himself, and she seems to do it out of pure selflessness. He admires that and wants to protect her from any harm that may come her way.
"En is quite sweet, we seem to run into each other often." Four enjoys En's company, spending time teaching him about the wilderness, the plants he can and can not eat. While she doesn't normally need his protection, she appreciates it all the same.
Back then En would have been overjoyed to spend time with Mine, but now? Now he knows Fate's tricks, and he knows if she stays around him she'll get struck down like all the others had. He's been cold, he's avoided reacting to her, yet somehow she still lingers around. He can't help but be frustrated, but he does appreciate the aid she's given him.
There's also something about her that she's hiding. Just what is it...?
"How can you just ignore someone when you see them hurting?" Four is always drawn to those in need of help, even when they don't want it. Something that has gotten her in trouble countless times. She sees his struggles and only wishes to help, even when he's aloof towards her. It doesn't hurt her feelings, Four never expects anything in return for her kindness.
"I don't think I would have gotten very far if not for the aid of Una." His smile remains soft, hands folding delicately in front of his hips.
The smiles fades, Novem's expression a menacing glower as he lets out a sigh. "She aims to use me for her own goals. I don't know exactly what they are, I just know they do not align with mine. She remains useful for now, and does her best to stay in my good graces and for now, that is enough. She's a fool if she thinks she has any pull on me, but that is why I keep her around. She is a fool." A smile is back on his face, though it's softness, a stark difference to the words he just spoke.
"Oh you cannot ask me my feelings on our wonderful leader! I'll get embarrassed."
Oh, no, this was for real? No pretending? Well, she can cut the bullshit for you, dear reader.
"....I thought he was an easy tool. The faces he makes when something's on his mind, it's like a sopping wet kitten! Cute, but the sort of cute you want to pound into the dirt. Squeeze until it pops. Pathetic. Foolish. Arrogant and whiny. He'll be useful, once I wait enough. Become trusted enough. Ah....but I can't help but feel I'm getting a tiny bit attached to him. More than I should. I'll have to be careful before he turns the tables on me. Something about these princely types pisses me off. If only he didn't have such charming hair...."
"Miriam can be quite harsh when it comes to her brother, but she is my sister-in-law, family, so I try to remain patient with her. Most times it seems like I have to mediate between the twins, Miriam treating me kinder than she does Marion- but she knows I must side with my husband. For the most part at least- her company is nice, I don't appreciate however when she and Marion fight for my attention, makes things very stressful."
"Oh? Mai I think was his name, yeah? Visits me quite often, usually when the last flower he drops off wilts- almost like clockwork haha. I don't mind them, they're free to visit as much as they'd like."
'There's more to him. He acts like he's big and scary, not to say I do not believe him, but if he was evil as he says why would he bother to help me? I think he likes the flowers, he hasn't complained yet. I'd like to know more about the wild past he talks about.'
He frowns upon the mention of the small kitsune, though it is one of sadness, not anger. “Her complexion is worrisome, almost as if she is withering away in front of my very eyes,” says the akh, his shoulders drooping. “It is a saddening thing to bear witness to: someone as sweet as she should be rewarded for her actions, not punished for merely existing. I can only hope that one day a suitable substitution for a diet of human meat can be found, but for now, I can only watch.”
