To protect someone from falling victim to a demon once each week.

[a beat]

... don't ask her to protect anyone specifically - and do not tell anyone else of her ability.

[leggymaru]

Ah... Grune-nii is so powerful.

[Wow, they sure are surrounded by people with abilities, aren't they? What the fu]

I won't, elder brother. I promise. We should keep Grune-nii safe as much as possible.

[banzais]

Mm, I agree...

[he tilts his head]

Later - after I confirm a few more things - I'll speak with you both regarding what else I've learned from this place.

[leggymaru]

Okay. Please be careful, Elder Brother.

[He won't not worry all the time.]

If many others know you are aware of abilities, they may target you. [Good thing Higekiri will probably forget and, in turn, has dumped all that info on his little brother. Ugh.] Or they may be angry if you pry.

[banzais]

[ . . . . he shrugs]

You'll keep everything important for me, won't you? I'm sure if you speak with... uh... Nightfeather on my behalf if something happens to me, then it'll be fine.

[so even if his body is gone, his brother will act in his place? he's very reliable.]

[leggymaru]

[Gently:] Nightwing. [A pause. And then he immediately looks incredibly mortified.] Elder brother! Don't say such things!

I won't let anything happen to you at all.

[Bold of him to assume he has control over that considering what happened to Prompto.]

[banzais]

[cute.... the earnestness is cute.

and higekiri will just press a kiss to hiza's forehead again at that]

If anything happens to me, it will be because of myself. Not you.

We possess our own bodies now, and we ought to take responsibility for them. Even though I will always rely on you... do not be upset with yourself if my path leads me to something unfortunate.

[leggymaru]

[Well, he FROWNS gently because his brother keeps saying awful things about not being here, and yet!! He can't say anything himself, or Higekiri threatens to gag him with a weird human toy!]

I know, but--elder brother.

[If he were a lesser sword, he'd whimper.]

I should always be there to help you fight, elder brother. Nothing should happen because I should be there...

[banzais]

[yea higekiri's a cheater

but honestly.... his expressions softens a bit at that. he'll just pull in hiza closer to him, as if the closeness in proximity will be enough to calm his worries]

... mm, I know. We both want that, don't we?

[it's not like he can pretend that he doesn't understand - he does. deeply. innately.]

But if for some reason we cannot... We will be reunited again shortly afterward. I'm sure of it.

[leggymaru]

[It surprisingly helps. He loops his arms over Higekiri's shoulders and tucks his face into one.]

I wouldn't ever want to be separated again, elder brother... I would miss you. But... if it happens, I will speak to you, send you messages. I know we'll be reunited, but being apart...

Mm.
