nine [action/voice] | throughout the day Thursday

[The morning finds Mithos on a trip to...the flower shop, of all places. It's for Martel (ever the lover of plants), so just shut up. Probably an odd decision to go in all this rain, but he has an umbrella handy. The rain is hardly a bother compared to an endless list of other items he can think of, mostly people.

When he returns, it is time to address some things that have gone unaddressed for too long.]



I know that you are well aware of my sister’s recent arrival. You are to go nowhere near Martel. If I see you, I will not hesitate to run you through on my blade.


[A pause, because he really can’t believe he’s about to willingly address them. With Yuan he could at least gloat, but the others... It is a necessary precaution, however.]


I am sure that many of you, with your annoying habit of finding out everything eventually, also know that Martel is presently in this world. You will all stay away from her. ...I’ve already said that I would choose the same path again if given the chance, and so I will continue to fight for and protect my sister. Consider this a generous warning.


[A while later in the day, after taking care of the above business with various enemies, he decides it is time for something more...pleasant. When he cracks open the journal again, he can’t quite keep the note of excitement out of his voice.]




Kaori, she’s here. Martel is here! I...thought you’d want to meet her.


[And afterwards, he wanders through the house to seek out his dearest sister.]

[ That's why she wants to help him get through all those haunting memories of their past. He was too good of a person to continue down the path he's following. ]

Of course! I would have never found you those times you disappeared on me! Honestly, if I didn't know you as well as I do, I probably would have lost you a long time ago.

[For a brief instant he almost doesn't remember to what she is referring - so many years have passed, burying so much underneath them. Memories float back to the surface. When they had been on their own in Sylvarant (not living, but simply surviving), and he would go off to try to do anything he could to help them. After they'd already embarked on their fateful journey, and he would commit himself to as much training as he could endure, whether on his own or...with Kratos's guidance (he quickly and furiously scratches out that part). Brashly taking on Gnome all by himself, to prove a point he can't quite remember anymore.]

I would always come back. You'll never lose me.

[ Yes, but he lost her. Those words rang repeatedly in her mind. ]

Thank you. It's relieving to know that you'll always be there for me.

[ She was being honest when she said that, but it was frightening how Mithos never left her alone after her death. She could even say that he clung to her more. Her brother being always there for her was comforting...

And terrifying. ]

Of course I'll always be here for you. You never have to worry about that, Martel. ...I didn't abandon you for a single moment, for all those years, and I won't ever. I promise. [He means this, and that's probably the scary part.]

[ Her teeth dig into her bottom lip. She wanted to tell him there was a certain point where he couldn't be there for her, but she chokes down on those words. She knew that the onlybthing that would accomplish is further confusing Mithos. Martel has never felt so trapped before in her life. No matter how many times she goes through each scenerio it always end up with her brother snapping. ]

...Thank you, Mithos. That comforts me to hear you say that.

[ That was a total lie, but she's not sure what else to say. Instead she smiles at him and holds his hand in gratitude. She didn't want to do this anymore. ]

[Mithos returns her words with a smile. Anything to make her happy. These aren't just words, it is a vow he intends to keep.

He pulls up the other chair (there are only two - what need is there for more?) and takes a seat at the table. There is something else he must talk to her about.]


...Do you remember my...friend, Kaori, who I told you about? [That word is still so strange: friend. His unfamiliarity with it is probably fairly apparent.]

[ The fear that she was feeling almost disappears at the mention of his friend. However, it returns when she realizes which friend he was referring to. She didn't like Kaori as much as she wanted to. Her brother's description of her made her suspect that their association with one another would only encourage the prejudice they hold against humans. ]

Yes, I recall you mentioning her.

[Her dampened mood does not go unnoticed by Mithos. Why all of a sudden...?]

Is something wrong?

[ She forces out a cheerful smile. ]

No, not at all! I'm just a bit tired today. So what was it about Kaori you wanted to say?

Maybe you should get to sleep earlier tonight. [He'll give her a concerned look for a brief moment more. But if she's sure she's all right...]

I said I'd introduce her to you, remember? So I thought I would invite her over.

[ This is what most people would call a positive and a negative. It's good how Mithos has a friend he has a common field with. She's actually ecstatic about that.

But it's not so pleasing when that common interest is hatred towards humans. Now, she wouldn't dare try to separate the two. That would surely push her brother of the edge. The least she can do is hope that the only thing they talk about is how much they hate humans. ]


Yes, I'll sleep earlier tonight.

Oh, Kaori's coming? That's wonderful Mithos! When is she coming?

[He's happy to see her so excited. Because she must be lonely too, of course. She must want to find someone who can understand and whom she can actually trust as much as he had wanted to.]

It shouldn't be too long.

[ She stood up from her chair and made her into the kitchen. Already she was starting to gather pots, pans, and ingredients. ]

You should have told me earlier! I could have gone out and bought some ingredients to make a special meal for all of us. But I can make do with what we have now. Are there specific foods that Kaori can't eat?

[ Martel busied herself with the task of cooking. All thoughts and concerns of Kaori's hatred of humanity was erased from her mind. She was going to pretend that everything was fine. The day would carry out just like when any child invites his friend over. Even if it a lie.

[The exuberance with which his sister is now moving about the kitchen is a little surprising. But her enthusiasm make him happy. He hadn't even thought of having anything prepared for their guest - it's not like he's ever invited a friend over before. His social skills are pretty rusty, after all.]

No, I don't think there's anything... [not that he knows of, anyway.]

[ She briefly turns her head to Mithos. ]

Then how about any particular foods she likes? I wouldn't want to cook her something she dislikes.

[ She almost mentions Kratos' hatred of tomatoes but caught herself. No need to upset her brother when he's already excited about Kaori. ]
