ϡ - Chapter Five; live to see another day [action/voice]

[folkloristic]

[ After his little skirmish with Aku Helios is pretty beat up no other way to describe it. He's left a nice little trail of blood from his point of escape and currently resting behind one of the buildings. Arms, and legs cut up pretty good from one of his own attacks even, how embarrassing. Using so many spells at once is taking its toll too even

[Frederic heard his friend over the journals and traced it back to where Helios is now.]

Mister Sprensonne!

[Running over to Helios' body, he places his hands over him and begins to heal him.] Sacred Signature!

[ action ]

[folkloristic]

[ Oh dear he didn't really mean for anyone to hear that. Darn these pesky journals and his complete lack of knowledge in using them. He opens his eyes and watches from his position, that healing spelling making him sit up a tad bit more straighter albeit he winces a little from the cuts. ]

Ah. Mister Chopin, haha. I'm terribly sorry...for you to have to do this.

[ action ]

[harmonicmelodia]

[Frederic helps his friends in need. Sighing, he sits back and watches Helios straighten up and makes sure no other cuts are still bleeding.]

If someone I know is in need of assistance, I will not hesitate to help them. What happened to you anyway? Your injuries were quite severe.

[ action ]

[folkloristic]

Ah you're a truly a wonderful friend Fredric, thank you. I'm...in your debt, really. [ His gazes diverts to the ground almost as if he's thinking. ]

Hm I'm not sure what to call him, a shadow comprised of darkness perhaps? I've encountered similar beings before but none quite like that. Aku is his name apparently. He set the grocery on fire...these people's don't deserve that, no one does. I couldn't just let him... [ He sighs leaning his head back against the wall. ] I would have rather not have fought but reasoning seemed useless. I think everyone managed to get out safely though, thank goodness for that!

[ action ]

[harmonicmelodia]

[He gazes at Helios and smiles a little.] You're most welcome, Helios. But you are no debt to me, you've already repaid it by being my friend.

A shadow of darkness named Aku. [He ponders on this and his eyes go into a glare.] If I ever find him again, I will make sure he pays for doing this to everyone. I will not let such a monster roam about this village causing chaos. I would use my logic to reason with him, but you said it was useless. So instead, I will use my magic to rid the village of this beast.

[ action ]

[folkloristic]

Your friend? [ He smiles at that. ] I see then. Then I'm most certainly lucky to have you as one.

He's formidable to fight alone. Working together however we might be able to put a stop to him.

[ action ]

[harmonicmelodia]

You seem truthful and honest when speaking with me. So for that, I consider you as someone worth giving my trust to. I know I may seem rather distant and cold at times, but I have my reasons for that.

Your logic is more than correct. Perhaps once your wounds are healed, we could fight him together.

[ action ]

[folkloristic]

[ He's going to try and get up now a bit wobbly but using the house as support is making that easier. ] I find it to be uncouth to do otherwise especially with a man such as yourself. Besides do unto others as you would like done to you. There's no need to explain I understand entirely.

[ He nods taking a few steps forward. ]I agree. Some rest would be best for now.

[ action ]

[harmonicmelodia]

[He grabs Helios' shoulder gently to help his friend get around a little easier, since he's worried about Helios falling over again.]

I want to help you back to your home, it's dangerous in your condition to try and walk about alone. You're still a bit injured and I worry if this Aku will come after you again.

[ action ]

[folkloristic]

[ He appreciates that giving Fredric a small nod and smile as he grabs his shoulder. He might flinch a little at the others touch but it's only a repressed action something in the back of his mind that'll never fully dissipate. He really can't help himself in this situation either his state making him more susceptible to letting his guard down. He'll brush it off though as if it never happened. ]

Oh I wouldn't want to be a both-- [ He stops himself knowing that won't work with some like Fredric so he doesn't continue the man is firm in his resolve and he respects that, to not allow him to help him would be rude. ] Ah, er, it's a bit far I'm afraid.

[ action ]

[harmonicmelodia]

[He notices the flinching Helios does and grows a little more concerned, he pulls away a little because even he can tell that is making Helios rather uncomfortable.]

I'm sorry Helios, I don't wish to make you uncomfortable. [His smile is a little sad, but he tries to keep his smile happy for his friend.] I won't force you to do something you wish not to do.

[ action ]

[folkloristic]

[ He blinks and laughs though it sounds tired and without the same upbeat tone it usually has. ]

Oh heavens no! It's-it's not you, please don't apologize. You'll have to forgive me I'm still a bit shaken from the whole thing it seems. [ He gives a soft smile of his own even if the answer is somewhat false. ]

[ action ]

[harmonicmelodia]

[He holds out his hand for Helios, his tone of voice is very sincere and kind.]

If you're able to at least hold onto my hand, I'll help you back home.

[ action ] I wanna say it's brolove so bad but the saying is too modern for either of them

[folkloristic]

[ He smiles and nods as he takes Fredric's hand this time a bit more firm and steady. ]

Yes I'll be able to manage at least that. Thank you.

[ action ] Helios is the brother Frederic never had, since his siblings were made of three sisters

[harmonicmelodia]

[Frederic holds Helios' hand tightly and begins to walk slowly with him.]

I know it seems rather odd that I've started to call you by your first name. However, you always seem to call me Frederic, so I think it's time I start calling you Helios. I hope this is all right with you, unless you'd rather I go back to calling you Mister Sprensonne.

[ action ] d'aw that's so adorable fff

[folkloristic]

[ Steady steps as he gets his footing back feeling a bit more comfortable around the other now. ]

Oh. Yes I hope you didn't mind, haha my apologies for being presumptuous. [ He shakes his head. ] No, no that's perfectly fine.
