Dark / Night


Listening to the slime mumbling to itself, the creature wasn't very active, but it was quite odd. Whenever Seros looked back at it, it looked away from him, continuing it's murmurs as if it hadn't looked upon him a single moment in its life. Heaving a sigh, he supposed as long as it kept still, he didn't mind. The night was as dark, but at least the sky was clear, a bright, full moon lighting up the sky overhead while a fire lit the ground below. Made by the dragon of course, to keep him and the damsel warm.

He had found 'her' again sitting beside a river soaking their ankle. Not wanting them to catch a cold, he lit a fire that had attracted the attention of the slime with a skull inside. Being leaned on, they stroked his fiery mane without worry, watching the flames flicker together.


Walking along in the quiet night, Alphonse was murmuring to Gerold as he held the very tired slime that was snoozing in his arms. Not wanting to wake them, Gerold agreed to hold the monotone colored slime for now as they walked along and looked for the other that was somewhere out in the darkness, below the moon and stars that shined down upon them and was the most pleasant time of day to Gerold even if he didn’t blend at all all with it.

“What do we do with the slimes once we caught them all?” Al asked, holding the bag very careful, not wanting to cause too much movement for the ones inside. He wasn’t sure they could feel such things, but he was careful just in case..

“I’m not sure.... I can only assume if i write a letter back saying we found them all they would come and get the bag. Worse case they may wander the sanctuary for the time being, I think Mint may enjoy their company if kept under close watch.” The pair of them had come out to find Seros, Mana had said he’d come collect them before morning and Gerold didn’t want the pretty fire lion wandering away from him and getting lost in the darkness.


Sitting so close together, even the murmuring skull slime had come to roll its way into the rider's lap. The three lightly dozing while they warmed up. Seros was easily able to keep the fire going warm and bright in the night, but became confused when he felt the other suddenly tense up. Their cheeks slightly flushed as they looked out into the void. The void that held one very contrasting white clothed angel coming towards them. "Greeting Gerold. I've found the slime, as well as the young lady from the jungle. She seems to have sprained her ankle, but is otherwise doing well."

Looking away with a shy smile, he wasn't normally so embarrassed but, well, the young pretty male didn't often get to see such a handsome angel on earth. Literally. There were so many different one liners that could be used, but none of them came to mind as he quietly stroked the slime.


“That’s very good, don’t forget to grab some food before it gets too late. Mana will be displeased if you don’t have something more definite to eat before he gets back.” Nodding to agree, Al loved how Gerold always took such good care of all the different dragons, including his sweet wife who was staying with them for a short period of time until the blue rider could figure things out.

Gerold paused to look over the other, carefully sitting down beside the other to look more closely at the ankle but was still very careful as to not wake the strange oddly tired slime that had no cares in the world.

“Come on Seros! There’s still plenty of food! Let’s get some before everyone eats it all, bouncing around a little, Al was so excited to also help, leading away the lion like dragon once he started following. Watching All and Seros be off, Gerold leaned back a bit to hold out the bag, allowing the slimes to slip in before he returned his attention to the other who was putting off an odd aura before it clicked and he gave a sweet smile. A rare site, but a pleasant one all the same as he offered his hand to the ‘damsel’.

“You look lovely, young sir, but I have much better medicine inside if you’d care to join me. It’s just as warm if not warmer, I promise you that.” Only smiling as he gave away that fact he knew what was under those pretty clothes, he still didn’t seem bothered as he waited for the response, helping them up and even picking up the pretty individual if allowed to.


Seros begrudgingly got up to follow after the dinosaur, supposing the temptation of food was nice and all. He would have preferred laying with the other rider, but they were in good enough hands with Gerold. It was highly unlikely they'd do anything unsavory, the fire hybrid huffing as he went with the excited bubbly dragon.

Raising an eyebrow with that slight curve to his lips, the rider was even more intrigued when the one named Gerold picked up on him and still called him lovely. "That's most kind of you. If you don't mind the intrusion, I'd be more than happy for a warm place to rest for a bit." More pleased if anything, he took their hand for assistance, Yelping as they were picked up yet again, but wrapped their arms around the angel's neck to keep steady.


Chuckling at both the excited feeling Alphonse was giving off, as well as to the stranger he swept up, his slime adventures were done. The night was still young, but Gerold has a funny feeling that soon he’d lose track of time in the company of someone else.

Not that he minded that at all, if anything, he welcomed the distraction.
