[Week 19 | Day 2] (Accidental Video)
[Just a beat, just a moment to feel the magic curl back into his body as the space around him unfurls, flexes back to within its natural bounds once again as Fai slowly blinks open pale, ice-blue eyes to stare around in muted disbelief.
Standing there with his brown suit jacket hanging open, the matching vest neat and tidy, the blue bow-tie hanging undone around his collar, Fai simply glances around, a faint frown pulling down his lips. Far as he can see, there is nothing more than a field of flowers, a pristine brook babbling merrily as the water flowed gently over rocks. All he can feel is the faint presence of gentle creatures, overwhelmed by the sheer force of being that emanates from the ancient, ageless, timeless tree....
It is even clearer that the presences of Syaoran, Sakura, Mokona, and Kurogane are blindingly absent - not just missing from this place, but nowhere in this dimension. He cannot sense them at all, no matter how much he concentrates or extends his magic.
This just... didn't make sense. He'd used his own magic to protect them as they transferred dimensions. He’d been careful to keep the other four close, held within the confines of the spell to keep them safe from harm before Mokona moved them on to the next world.
They should be right here, beside him.
It doesn’t matter though - he can simply go back, then trace them through to the next world. Give a laugh, claim he forgot to hold onto Kurogane or Mokona, wave it off as nothing of great importance. Maybe find a new name to call Kurogane, distract them all with a lovely display of the man’s temper.
Something, anything, once he gets back to them.
A sigh as he shakes his head, his eyes troubled, somber, as he holds up two fingers before him. Bright glyphs in an unusual language stream out of his fingertips, swirling around the mage like a barrier glowing barrier, coalesce into a solid form as he opens his hand, palm out and focuses the magic swirling about him.
For a moment, the space around him seems to simply flow around him, earth and sky swirling in tight around him like flowing water before he disappears...
only to reappear on a root of the great Tree a moment later.
He looks around, then frowns, utterly nonplussed.]
Well, this is unexpected....
[Another sigh before he smiles and pats the tree as if they were old friends, speaks with a light voice, the tone overly cheerful.]
Fine, fine - have it your way for the moment. But if I say now you’ll regret it, don’t say I didn’t warn you~!
[A nimble twist and he jumps down off the root, slips his hands into his pockets, and starts to hum a merry tune as he begins to walk away from the overlarge, smug tree. But when the Hitomi flickers, the screen going dark long enough to hear a muffled voice ask curiously, ‘What’s this?’ before it’s pulled from his pocket, Fai simply smiles brightly as he begins to poke at the thing.]
My my, and where did you come from?
