[Closed] The Affairs of Dragons
Who: Kija and Zeno
What: How to Not Say the First Thing That Comes Into Your Head the Second it Occurs to You 051: Because Kija isn't ready for the 101 class.
Where: The Near Shore, because all the food is there.
When: May 23rd
Warnings: Massive spoilers for Chapter 99 onwards of Akatsuki no Yona, if anyone is concerned about that.
[How, exactly, do you keep something so very much a part of you - something that defines you, that makes you the man you are - a secret?
[Honestly, Kija doesn't know. Has, in fact, no idea. Fortunately, he knows a man who does.
[It has been... been difficult, realizing that Shin-ah and Jae-Ha have no memory of - of any of it. The four dragons, their purpose, their homeland, and their travels together: even the Princess has been stolen from them, she could be stood by their sides and they would never know. Harder still has been to realize that it has to be this way; that to breathe a word of the truth to them will be to condemn them to madness and corruption and no way out but death. These men are his brothers - though even that is a simplification of the bond they share - and he cannot so much as hint at the reason why, still less about what that bond is for.
[Kija wants more than anything to find the man who did this, and force him to return what he has stolen--
[Before that, however, he must consider his brothers. Before he can begin to set things right, he has to be sure that Shin-ah and Jae-Ha are safe. And - he has to think it! - and, right here and right now, one of the biggest threats to their safety is him. It is him, letting slip something he shouldn't. Telling them anything, anything at all, about why he cares.
[Secrecy may be no kind of virtue at all, but it has become a horrible necessity. Maybe he is no good at keeping silent, but Zeno--
[Zeno is quite another story.
[Which leaves him with no choice but to make his way here. The Near Shore may be another country, and far too loud and far too crowded and dizzyingly full of the strangest sights and sounds he's heard in his life, but it does have one advantage over his - his temple, or Zeno's: there are people here who can cook.]
