［２８］ You give me hope, and hope it gives me life

[bloodyscore]

[Allen is sitting out on the docks of a courtyard that is mostly a huge lake with only a bit of shore, the tide is in so his toes are lightly skimming the water as he swings his feet. He's been out here since dark, worried about friends and missing the warmth that could only come from family

[It doesn't take Myka long to find Allen, really. He's there quickly, smelling of coffee and Chase and Seren, and with his own golem clinging to his neck with it's tail as he made his way through the halls (too quick for the little guy to keep up with just flying).

He doesn't make a sound when he drops himself down to sit beside the slightly older Allen, and leans over to touch his nose to his twin's cheek.

...he has a feeling he might know what this is about. You smell like Lavi.]

...Hey.

[bloodyscore]

[And Myka was probably clinging to the end of Allen's coat in order to settle back down on Allen's lap with Tim. The two have been getting along better but they're already investigating the new golem. The smell of his little niece gets a jolt of surprise from Allen, just because it's so much stronger than it normally is, so is her father's.

Allen smiles and leans into the gesture, turning his head to return it and presses a light kiss to the other's forehead.

A combination of Lavi and Kanda both, he's worried about both of his dear friends.]

Missed you. [Don't mind him leaning against you, do you?]

[selfdeluded]

[Meanwhile Lavi's scent is so much fainter than usual, though from the smell of things he's seen him recently. Maybe the day before.

Which Kanda? And what's wrong with him? But he smiles lightly at the kiss, and shifts just a little closer, letting out a hum when the other leans against him. Of course he doesn't mind.]

You too.

[And don't mind his little adobe golem. It's crawling into Allen's lap to investigate Myka and Tim up close.

[bloodyscore]

[Spy, all the usual things. He's been debating about the duo with one body. And arguing with Lavi more.

He misses this kind of family cuddling desperately, Allen would like to set his chin on the other's shoulder but knows better.]

And who's this? [Smiling softly as he looks at the golem.]

[selfdeluded]

[Ah, that one. He does make a lot of his own problems.

He could, probably just that much wouldn't hurt. But unfortunately that is the bad arm, since it's on the side with the good eye.]

He was a Christmas present... [And the golem proudly plays the two notes that represent it's "name", and then grins nice and wide. Allen just shrugs.] I couldn't think of a real name for him... so that's it.

[bloodyscore]

[He does, but he's a good friend to Allen.

He's fine with just leaning close, sharing body warmth while they're out at the winter-themed lake. Your feet shouldn't touch the water at least.]

He's adorable, it suits him. Is the violin music something they added to him? [Myka and Tim are jealous. x:]

[selfdeluded]

[That much is good, at least.

Nope, he's just short enough that his boots don't touch, thankfully. Darn you even taller Allens and your height.]

I think so... I don't know how he did it, though. [The golem plays a happy note, and worms its way between Myka and Tim. golempile time? 8D ]

[bloodyscore]

[You shouldn't have wet boots. Be thankful.]

I don't think I'd want to alter Tim or Myka though...

[Absolutely, though they squish him between them and fly out over the lake for some gentle hazing.]

Play nice you two! He's a baby!

[selfdeluded]

[ :T Meh. He is. Kind of.]

Well, it's not like you need to...

[--Ah. Watching as the two take off with his golem. ...He hopes the little guy will be okay. For the moment he seems fine, but well... you never knew about these things.]

[bloodyscore]

[Sighs and lays back on the dock, looking up at the cloudless sky.]

I don't think I could stand it after a while, not with as loud as those two get with their fighting. Imagining it with their wings making all the noise...I'd have an endless headache.

[He laughs and closes his eyes.]

[selfdeluded]

That one is pretty noisy... [Playing strings in his ear when Lavi takes off for the day, wriggling around in his clothing... sigh.

He leans back on his good arm though, and peers up at the sky. It was pretty nice in here, even if it was winter.]

...Are you okay, Allen? [He was worried when he got here, you know. :c ]

[bloodscore]

So are you, you know. [Laughing softly. You're noisy for a baby. ♥

The laughter inside him calms almost immediately.]

I don't know... I don't know how to reach out to Lavi or to help Kanda. And... I think I'm losing my Lavi again... He's barely here.

[selfdeluded]

[gkjdhkajh-- going red at that at first. He isn't noisy! Or a baby!

But... he sobers just a moment after Allen does, and leans over to peer at him more.]

Losing... like he's going to leave? [...he doesn't know what to do about Lavi right now, either.]

[bloodyscore]

[You think about moving silently, twin just goes with it.

Opening his eyes and moves a hand up to thread his fingers through his twin's hair.]

Yeah... I... I hardly see him anymore.

[selfdeluded]

[So he's noisy because he thinks about it too much? Sigh.

Touching his fingers to the other's arm. ...He wonders sometimes, you know. If this is how a normal "family" acts, or if it's even how "normal" vampires act. It still seems weird to him.]

...Can that happen? Can they just... fade like this?

[bloodyscore]

[Exactly so.

It's more like...a married couple sort of thing without the intimacy. Unless they actually wanted it given Vampvi and Allen. Just a lot of closeness. He was like this with his sire even, all the little gestures and things. But if asked about a normal human family...Allen would try to point his twin in the right direction at least?]

The last time he just disappeared like brother did.
