[ooc: sorry before hand if it's a bit hard to read... I'll teach myself how to do manga/comic composition one day!]
[he wasn't sure when the other had shown up, or for what reason either. They only ever spoke that one time during the festivals while setting up the riddles. He just knew that sometime during the day, he'd found the other walking quietly beside him.
Of course, even those who had only spoken with Keane once knew that keeping silent wasn't one of his strong points]
Did you notice?
At the festival. We're alike, did you notice? &hearts
... We're the Hero, like the others.
Hahaha! You're funny too!
Well then...
What do you think of the others?
I said to someone else that I thought of him as his own person.
It's not possible for something to repeat itself in exactly the same way, so they've been changed by their own experiences.
Ah~
Then what about the legen-
That has nothing to do with it.
Hee~
So you're just as unhappy about that as the others.
That-!
[interrupts] People are strange. They always need something to have hope in when things get rough, they always need a scapegoat. So we make the Hero take the burden of those in their age. It's suppose to be 'inspirational', at least [shrugs] that's what she told me.
...
What a cruel thing to say.
Not cruel, just true.
Then what of our lives?! Don't we have a say in this?
What of them?
You-
It must be nice though, being able to speak to people 'freely'.
?
Heh. Someone's got to do it.
Hey! [
moves in front of the other] how about we play something instead?
Play?
Hahaha~ Maybe we aren't alike after all!
Hmph.
I'll give you a choice... [
he pulls out his violin and bow with a flourish as he asks;] will you conduct or will you play?
How'd you-
I heard you at the festival.
[way to miss the question again, Keane] ... Of course.
Did you have a song in mind?
No, not really~ Let's make up something instead! A song for the parts you can't remember and the others don't know.
... It's surprising how no one's taken your head off yet, Keane.
Isn't it just? &hearts
[a puff of air] I'll play then.
Try to keep up.
What songs will you use?
[an amused 'hm']
So 'maybe we aren't alike after all'.
[a confused expression]
Try to keep up.
[the other simply laughs off the comment before the two start a
medley for the stories that live through all time]
[ooc: this post took three weeks to finish; from drawing (which only took like... a few hours, I think) to formatting the thing. I quit. =_=a it's ugly and has a million errors and is hard to read, should I just replace this with a text post? ... I'm missing a few images because that sheet of paper poofed one night. TT_TT; whoops?
