The flame inside the breathing ashes
Who: Lavi and Everyone
What: Aftermath of various things
Where: Far Shore
When: August 17-24
Warnings: None at the moment!
[A. August 17th - Afternoon]
[After his fight with Lux and talk with Allen, anyone who would have tried to reach Lavi will discover radio silence on his end. He left a note to Cardia explaining he’d be out all day. He wasn’t in the mood to talk to anyone right now, not after the parting words Lux had left him with.
Avoiding everyone seemed to be the best option right now, even if he would argue instead that he was just grabbing some fresh air.
It’s why he’s chosen to walk his temple’s latest addition around the Far Shore instead.
”Someone like you should have never been given a name to begin with!”
His jaw clenches at the memory of it, but it was a mistake to take his eye off the dog since Sisi runs off and Lavi’s quick to run after it.]
Sisi, wait!
[B. I Lost You Again]
[Sometime, at some point during the month, people might find Lavi sitting at an area where Allen’s temple used to be. He has a knee drawn up to his chest, a hand covering his face as if he’s trying hard to ignore the sudden pang of loneliness that hits him. Fortunately, Sisi seems to be his company today, too, sitting beside Lavi and has his head rested on Lavi’s other leg.
The redhead gently gives him a scratch, though he looks distracted.]
Damn it, Allen.
[Sisi whimpers a bit as Lavi retracts his hand to mess with a pair of white gloves that he found - the same kind of gloves he’s seen Allen wear before.
He grits his teeth, the other hand moving away from his face and he slams a fist onto the ground.]
Damn it.
[C. He’s an Exorcist Once More]
[Somewhere in a clearing, there’s Lavi holding what appears to be a hammer that might look a little too heavy all things considering.
He has his eye closed, the head of the hammer pointed upwards as giant seals appear around him, glowing brightly. Gritting his teeth, his eye opens as one of the seals stops and glows a bright red.]
Hi Ban: Gouka Kaijin!
[Slamming the hammer down with the seal stamped onto it, a torrent of flames erupt, taking on the form of a snake that surrounds Lavi briefly before shooting upwards into the sky and disappearing in bits of ashes.]

[He runs a hand through his hair, looking down at Sisi as the dog looks up at him.
Sighing out, he reaches down to give him ear scratches.]
I'm not sure. [That's an honest enough answer he'll give due to the sheer fact that he's not sure how to feel about accepting people helping him over grief of all things.]
no subject
It's partly the reason she's out for a walk now. Some things are just too personal, too close, and she needs a little more distance than that.
Without waiting, Ayumu kneels down in the vacant lot beside him, hand still resting lightly on his shoulder. Sometimes words get in the way of things so she has to count on actions to convey her meaning. And right now, her message is simple but clear - she's there for him.]
How long have you been out here?
no subject
But he accepts her silent support, even though he's well aware that she could have easily just walked past him. His shoulder rolls a bit under her touch, a silent request if she could pull back her hand. It's nothing against her - physical contact is just weird.]
...Not too long. Probably half an hour at the most.
no subject
That's not too bad.
[She's somewhat familiar with the general layout of the Far Shore by now, as familiar as one can be when landmarks change. The last time she'd walked by here, Ayumu's fairly sure there'd been a building standing where they are right now. She keeps that observation to herself for now though; she suspects it'd be a little like smearing salt on a fresh wound - not something she wants to do unless it's vital.]
Have you eaten recently? I know we don't have to, technically, but sometimes it helps a little.
no subject
[He's been too busy trying to avoid certain people that his feet had eventually led him here - to this empty temple or where the temple used to be.
Sisi whines a bit, causing Lavi to realize he's stopped with the ear scratches again and quickly resumes.]
no subject
[Perhaps it's a weird offer but sometimes the best thing to do with painful feelings is to take your mind off of them, Ayumu thinks. And she likes cooking for people, she's discovered. In some ways, it's a little disappointing that her skills there aren't as needed around the temple.]
no subject
Sisi barks happily, seemingly making the choice for both of them.]
...As long as you don't mind then.
no subject
Not at all. I like cooking. The temple has a nice kitchen and it'd be nice to have a guest.
[Really her options for companionship at the temple are limited to her god when he isn't teaching, the soulless shinki that makes the hairs on the back of her neck stand on end, and the assortment of animals occupying living space.]
Do you have any favorites in particular, Lavi-san?
no subject
He shakes his head.]
Not really. I'm not a picky eater.
no subject
[She points a bit to the northwest of where they are currently and starts off in that direction.]
no subject
While he's sure that the idea of food is supposed to be comforting in some way, he'll be honest in admitting on getting the chance to see how Hakkai's temple actually looks like.]
no subject
Well, here we are. I'll get the gate.
[Ayumu swiftly moves forward to unlatch the gate.]
We have animals here but I don't think they'll be a problem.
[Ayumu seems to be good with animals, anyway. She's confident she can calm them if she needs to.]
no subject
He tilts his head.]
They're not going to chase after Sisi, are they?
[Sisi seems a bit wary himself, sticking close to Lavi.]
no subject
[She graces them both with a warm, gentle smile and continues inside to the building. Despite its narrow, rather compact appearance, the inside is surprisingly spacious and airy. All in all, there's a recuperative aura to the building, fitting for the home of a god of healing.
And thankfully, no animals are there to greet them just then.]
If you two would prefer the garden, I can show you the way and you can get settled while I see what I can find in the kitchen.
no subject
[He looks down at the corgi as the dog looks around and sniffs curiously.]
Would it to be too much trouble to explore a bit on my own? [A pause as he realizes how hefty the question could be and:] I promise not to enter any of the rooms, though.
no subject
Sure. I'll be in the kitchen if you need anything. It's right over there.
[Ayumu points in the direction of the kitchen.]
no subject
[He gives her a tiny, grateful smile. He knows it's a lot to ask for, so he's more determined to simply just stay out of the rooms in general. He doesn't want to break her trust, and he's in no mood to deal with Hakkai in his current state.]
...Is there anything in particular I should avoid?
no subject
[She thinks, tapping her chin thoughtfully.]
Everywhere downstairs should be fine but if you look in the medicine room, don't touch any of the jars of medicine. But if you're curious about the books on the shelves, you can look at them. Just be careful with the pages since some of them are pretty old.
[They're also in Chinese but that's slipping her mind at the moment.]
no subject
[Don't worry about it being in Chinese. Lavi's fluent in it.]
I guess just yell when the food is ready then? I don't think I'll wander too far.
no subject
[She smiles once more at the pair and heads off to the kitchen.]
no subject
[And with that, the pair of them will explore the temple grounds until Ayumu calls out to them.]
no subject
As for Sisi, she's set aside a second platter with the same sliced pork and a bowl of water on the floor near Lavi's seat.]
no subject
[He sounds in awe.
Lavi hasn't really had a proper feast. He doesn't eat a lot himself and with his basic cooking skills, he doesn't try to make anything extravagant.
But he tilts his head, sniffing curiously.]</small. It smells good.
no subject
[She blushes just a little at his tone but certainly looks pleased.]
I wanted to make sure Sisi got plenty to eat, too.
no subject
[It looks somewhat comfortable.
Sisi looks pleased, yipping happily.]
He seems pleased about that. Thanks.
