018. ♘ Kiryuu Zero || [Dream]

[leashed_hunter]

Poor, poor little servant. [A light chime is heard as a silver-haired woman appears behind the Ex-Human who stares forward at the massacred scene of his beloved parents. Red. It covered everything.]

No wonder you’re all alone. Everyone you love always dies around you. [Girlish laughter rings in his ear, while silver eyes darken with rage though

[.... That was more than a little disturbing.]

... Are you all right?

[leashed_hunter]

.....

[He's still shaken from that dream, and takes a minute to respond.]

... fine. [He's breathing hard.] I'm fine.

[truthsfortune]

[She isn't sure he is but she doesn't want to press the subject. She doesn't know him well enough for that, but...]

It's...

...

Are you certain?

[leashed_hunter]

[He was hungry. He was always hungry when she showed up in his dreams. He was breathing harder than before his stomach clenching in pain just as his tattoo began to glow--a warning.]

I--[he clutches his neck, still feeling her fangs lingering in skin, making him sick]

... I will be.

[bratxprincess]

[ Damn. That's a lot she never knew about Zero...Let's just say very surprised and she feels concerned for him as always. He must have suffered all alone like that....shit. ]

[leashed_hunter]

...

[He's a lot more calmer than he was at the beginning of the dream, and when he see's Ishtar on the device he turns away from her.]

It's just noise.

Ignore it.

[bratxprincess]

[ ...now she know something's wrong. He's always looking at her when he talks. When he doesn't it's usually something. Honestly that doesn't just sound or seem like noise.

How can she ignore that? ]

Are you sure?

[ She's asking out of concern of course not to pry. ]

[leashed_hunter]

[Easily, you just close the device. Very simple.]

Yes.

It's just a dream.

[He knows she's concerned and damn it, that doesn't help. He's needs to get himself together. This was pathetic. That woman was dead.]

Voice||Private

[taintdbysin]

You're letting her haunt you even though she's dead?

Voice||Private

[leashed_hunter]

...

[And he'll keep repeating his words from earlier. He's had plenty of time to calm down now. He's not so broken down about it as he had been when he first spoke to Naoto.]

It's only noise from the past.

Ignore it.

Voice||Private

[taintdbysin]

Don't pull that crap with me, Zero. I'm your brother, not some outsider you can just push aside. Unless that's what you want. To brush the past and me under the rug where you can ignore it.

Voice||Private

[leashed_hunter]

...

[That hurt, though he doesn't show it.]

What do you want from me? There's nothing to do about it. I can't control my dreams, Ichiru. No one can.

[grumpycardkid]

hey.

you-...um....you alright?!

[leashed_hunter]

[By this point he's worn out. No sarcastic comment, no mean words, or even the tough guy attitude. He's just tired...]

I'll be fine.

[Just need to pull himself together.]

[grumpycardkid]

You don't seem alright to me.

[leashed_hunter]

Not right now... but later.

Later.

[Later he'd be okay... just not right now.]
