so I guess the fortune teller's right ((canon update and open rp))

It was the first thing Teru had done in - too long. Months. He'd told himself that nothing was wrong, that in a school full of demonic psychopaths it was only sensible to keep to himself. But that wasn't why he isolated himself, and he knew it

A glad Geat appears!

"SACK JOE," boomed Beowulf, holding out his brawny arms in hopes of a buttery embrace. "HOW FARE YOU IN THESE CHILL AND DWINDLING DAYS?"

[righteous_pen]

Teru winced, covering his head with his hands. "Leave me alone."

[iam_beowulf]

"SURELY SACK JOE JESTS! AH, IT IS GOOD THAT YOU GRACE OUR HALLS WITH YOUR GREASY FORM. DRIP YOU WITH BUTTER, SACK JOE, OR WITH SUET OF ROAST BEAST?"

[righteous_pen]

"It's popcorn butter," he snapped. "Haven't you seen it before?"

[iam_beowulf]

Beowulf frowned, then brightened a little. "AHA!" He had remembered something.

He called a house elf.

"ELF, BRING TO SACK JOE A BOWL OF THE FINEST GRANOLA! HE HAS SORE NEED OF ITS RESTORATIVE POWERS!"

[righteous_pen]

"I don't need -" The elf had already gone, though. He sighed. "Why do you keep trying to feed me?"

Admittedly, the granola had got him through nine days living in the forest last year, but he wasn't going to encourage Beowulf.

[iam_beowulf]

"IF I FEED YOU NOT," said-shouted Beowulf, "WHO THEN WILL?"

Was that a look of frustrated tenderness on the Geat's hard face, or was he experiencing some species of indigestion?

The elf had reappeared with a whole sack of granola as well as a bowl; Beowulf grabbed the sack and thrust it toward Mikami. "YOU SHOULD EAT!"

[righteous_pen]

"I feed myself! You -" You're not my - No no no he didn't think about that person, not now, not ever, not when he was already remembering so much pain and cold. He snatched the granola from Beowulf's hands. "If I eat it will you go?"

[iam_beowulf]

"I HAVE A FEAST TO PLAN. I WILL GO." Unhappy, but resigned, Beowulf turned and trudged away. The house elf placed the bowl on the ground next to Mikami and -- with a please don't blame me wide-eyed look -- also left.
