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.]
demonsheath: (Our secret sir)

Though I imagine this will still draw in more than you might want.

[ It's still something of a war hammer. Not many people carry that around. ]
demonsheath: (Sure sir)

[personal profile] demonsheath 2017-09-02 03:34 am (UTC)(link)
Would it help if I promise not to ask about anything that seems to be related to this... demon extermination lifestyle?

[ She's pretty sure it's not a complete jab at him wanting her to avoid getting too familiar with him, but the promise could help. She can accept and respect that he's wary and could prefer that she keep her distance.

It's not as if he's the only one with those feelings in this place. ]
demonsheath: (Right away sir)

[personal profile] demonsheath 2017-09-02 08:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[ She's simply making notes and offering things based off of how uneasy she seems to make him. Who knows, maybe it'll help her figure out why his instincts are having him act that way. ]

And for the best, yes? Given that you've essentially said it's your instincts that has made you wary of me, we probably won't ever be familiar enough for you to share such things. It's easier to keep that off the table.

[ It's more a fact than anything else- she's certainly not holding it against the 'exterminator,' though exorcist would probably be just as effective a term, she supposes. Though it's more unconventional compared to what comes to mind. ]
demonsheath: (Sure sir)

[personal profile] demonsheath 2017-09-03 01:55 am (UTC)(link)
[ She'll take that as a bit of progress, whether or not she deserved such a 'title,' if that counted as such. ]

Am I now? To think, I was simply being considerate.
demonsheath: (To the end sir)

[personal profile] demonsheath 2017-09-03 03:02 am (UTC)(link)
I can't say anything about how things are 'nowadays.'

[ Yet her instinct, after hearing what the hammer is, is to take a step further away as the hammer starts to grow. She's not particularly thinking on that. After all, if you thought too much on your actions and responses, it'd make interactions less organic. ]

Was I wrong?

demonsheath: (I'll wait sir)

[personal profile] demonsheath 2017-09-03 04:18 am (UTC)(link)
[ How about she takes two steps back instead? She didn't see what seal was used to create that fire, so there's no way of her knowing what was going to happen next. ]

You're really a peculiar type, aren't you Lavi?

[ She offered that promise and now you're doing the very thing that she would want to end up questioning again.

Of course, once the seal is called out and released, she won't notice as her right eye starts to take that demonic red, as if her instincts were ready to act on the potential danger ]
demonsheath: (Standing by sir)

[ Was it normally taken as a compliment? Hannah was noting it as an admitted observation for her being unsure of how to follow along with his decisions.

Especially now that there's a serpent made of flames, hissing. She doesn't move or give too much of an extreme reaction. However her eyebrows knit up a small amount as her hands, which were resting clasped together at a low position, tightened their grip on each other. There was no way she could be aware of the one eye being red, but despite recognizing the potential danger, Hannah remains still.

Even if she could- actually, the woman knew she could probably get out of the way, it didn't feel like a choice she wanted to make. ]
demonsheath: (This is my plan sir)

[personal profile] demonsheath 2017-09-04 01:47 am (UTC)(link)
[ She might be unaware of her instincts showing through, but Hannah isn't unaware of the change in language with how the snakes and Lavi are.

When the snakes eventually go into the air and disperse, there's the slightest shift in her shoulders as the red eye goes back to its original blue color. Or is it that the red is the original? It'd be hard to tell. Though her survivor instincts had her tense up, right now the way she was acting had Hannah smiling with amused relief. ]


It looks like they can have quite a personality.
demonsheath: (Standing by sir)

[personal profile] demonsheath 2017-09-04 03:39 am (UTC)(link)
Should I have been worried?

[ After all, you certainly looked to be concentrating quite a bit, but she's not forgetting those hissing sounds the flames made. ]
demonsheath: (Holding my tongue sir)

[personal profile] demonsheath 2017-09-04 03:49 am (UTC)(link)
Then you've put me in quite an awkward position, Lavi. If I should have been worried, there are questions I promised not to make.
demonsheath: (I'll wait sir)

[personal profile] demonsheath 2017-09-04 03:57 am (UTC)(link)
[ Apologies, huh? Well, there's one question she can ask, given his choices and that grin. ]

Were you trying to test me in some way?
demonsheath: (Right away sir)

[personal profile] demonsheath 2017-09-04 04:14 am (UTC)(link)
[ She can appreciate the honesty, especially after talking about people being two-faced before. Also, given that she didn't know that her body had responded, all she could do was apologize. ]

I don't believe I can apologize for not providing you with more answers or reasons to that. It seemed safer to just stay in place.
demonsheath: (Reprehensible sir)

[personal profile] demonsheath 2017-09-04 04:48 am (UTC)(link)
I suppose it crosses over to that promise to ask how?

[ Because she thought that would be a separate curiosity. ]
