It didn't matter the season of the year, the twilight hours between sunset and dusk, though he did like the ones between dawn and sunrise when he could be awake for it, was his favourite time of the day. As long as the weather was clear and no threat of rain, he'd hate to damage his violin that way.

He sat on the bench in a quiet corner of this park as he careful took the violin case at his side and place it delicately onto his lap. Opening it up to let his fingers carefully run over the instrument inside.

This was his treasure and most prized possession.

He put the case back onto the bench at his side and took the instrument and bow out from the case. Resting it into the position to play it, it looked like another part of him like an extension of his being.

And then he began to play to himself mostly but he didn't mind if anyone else heard within the park, it was quiet this time of night and he loved the way the small wind and breeze would carry his music now as he slowly stood from the bench as he got lost in his music.

Time seems to stand still for a few moments as Jasper allows himself just to feel Bella so near to him. Too much in his life he’s felt he didn’t simply let himself be in the moment and if there ever was a time, this would be it. The thing is that the closeness would not have been easy for him even just a year ago. The thought crosses his mind that there was a time in Jasper’s life when he likely would’ve been compelled to take a scoop out of her neck. Images of this cross his mind and he’s ready to take that much loathed needed step away when she squeezes his hand. Just like that the thought is gone and instead Jasper watches Bella work, a bit fascinated once the working seems to take hold.  

Lips tug into a smile as he peers over her shoulder. “I hope you won’t revoke mine.” It’s a joke ( mostly) and he isn't expecting a response. Jasper is more than well aware of the possibility that for her own safety, Bella may have to do such a thing. Though he does not intend on giving her any reason to– if he can prevent it. 

The mention of Maria does manage to sober Jasper up a bit more and effectively leads to him taking that step back. It’s not that he has any ill feelings for her or hasn’t healed from what happened between them. The subject is just not one he truly cares to discuss if it can be avoided. For all the goodwill he may profess to have toward her, Jasper definitely isn’t interested in revisiting his past and the part he played in Maria’s army.

Honey colored hues glance upward and to the right as if Jasper is trying to recall something difficult to grasp. He knows Bella deserves some kind of explanation that comes from his own mouth and not research she’s done on her own. “Maria is my maker,” he says, sure that she knew this somehow, despite his never actually saying it. “I helped her win the vampyr wars in the south.” Jasper does his best to keep his feelings in check, reciting this as though it is simply historical fact and did not affect him. 

“She and I no longer share views on most things and I keep my distance from her as best I can.” When admitting to this final bit of information, Jasper decidedly moves forward to face Bella, making eye contact with her to ensure she understands his meaning. While he is not opposed to the idea of working again with Maria, should the need arise, he doesn’t truly want to tangle their lives together any more than they already are. Jasper had sensed the trepidation from Bella concerning Maria and hoped this could assuage that.

There’s an otherworldly sort of stillness that seems to take over the vampire, contrasting the rather e l e c t r i c scene they’d separated themselves from. The rumbling of thunder accompanying a heavier chorus of raindrops. The sound and smell of it helping a bit to ground Jasper. While he has indeed gotten better at controlling his instinctual urges, it’s still a battle. He’d escaped the chaos that had erupted on the field only to find himself locked in a car fighting his own inner chaos. Out of the frying pan and into the fire, as the saying goes. 

Breath is inhaled deep and slow as he sits beside Bella, meeting her gaze when she responds to him, but soon finds his eyes drifting. It isn’t difficult for him to become distracted by her emotions as they begin to envelop him within the confines of the car they’re sitting in. She’s offering him her hand, injury now freshly scabbed over, but barely. It would be so easy to scrape the skin right off and lave over the open wound with his tongue. Pupils dilate just a fraction and mouth begins to water enough that he has to swallow. 

Jasper manages to tear his eyes away from where they’ve locked on to Bella’s healing cut, eyes pressing tightly closed as he brings his hands up  to press to the sides of his own neck, rubbing at it. The sensory stimulation combined with his ( forced ) slow and deep  breathing allow the vampire to get a little distance from the situation. His brain is still b u z z i n g with Bella’s own loud emotions and even louder spoken words, but he’s able to keep himself from lunging. If only just. 

Eyes open in a flash of gold and stare ahead out the windshield. “Bella—” He manages just her name, voice strained as he seems to be teetering on the brink of something. It’s not a good idea and he knows it. This isn’t the time or the place for such a thing. Yes, he’s been practicing control and has been getting a lot better at exerting it— this situation indicative of just that. Jasper is more than well aware that maybe just a year ago he might have already locked onto the offering without a second thought, driven exclusively by his bloodlust. Now, though, at the very least he can stop and take a moment.

In the end, weakness prevails. Perhaps it always would have. Sometimes he wonders if he’ll ever have real control over this or if he’s just inherently evil in some way. Destined to embrace the darkest parts of himself no matter what he tries to do in order to subvert this. Of course, at the moment Jasper’s mind is blessedly free of the angsty musings he often gets lost in when alone. All that fills the vampire’s mind now is Bella’s own projected emotions telling him to do it and the d e s i r e to act on this. So he does. 

Windows shut and Jasper puts up the windshield sunshade before taking the proffered hand. With fangs already extended he brings her hand up to his mouth to bite gently into the skin. At the very least he can keep himself from ripping the wound open. At least. He meets Bella’s eyes, looking up at her as the blood meets his tongue. It’s a dangerous and probably stupid endeavor, but he doesn’t seem to care right now, wrapping his free hand around her arm to stabilize a bit better. 

Eyes finally close and Jasper pulls Bella in a little closer, drinking with a bit less hesitance. He’s most certainly playing with fire here, capable of allowing himself to get l o s t in it if he isn’t careful. Which—- he really hasn’t been.

"Beetle where did you get me to this time.."

Sora sighed as they turned into the alleyway, someone appearing out of nowhere was hardly a normal occurrence and they could appreciate at least that the patron they made a pact with had learnt to at least aim to get Sora somewhere hidden and out the way, this world felt like some of their magic could be used, something was certainly different here.

Sora found somewhere to sit for a moment, rummaging through their backpack now as they found a sandwich they made - this was a nice way to say two pieces of bread with some ham in between it. They wished for some butter or something but that would require money and a job. Something they would have to find sooner than later.

Sora was about to bite into their lunch when something in the corner of their eye caused them to pause. They blinked and turned to where they thought they saw movement.

"Hello?"

Riku chuckled lightly now, a grin shaped his lips now.

"Alright if they teach me, I'll be sure to teach you or get them to teach us both okay?"

He held out his hand, pinky finger held up as he smiled.

"What you say we pinky promise and you can teach me how to fly the gummi ship sometime if you like?"

He was happy to be spending time with his friend again, was this how it could have been if he had just waited and not let his heart fall and their islands.

And yet maybe that had to happen to get to this point, either way he was glad that he had been given a second chance at adventure with Sora.

“Really!?”

Wide eyed and with a goofy grin he was all excitement after hearing that.

“Now that is something I have to try at least once in my short life.”

Sora ran a hand through his hair thinking of all the possibilities of travel and how easy it would be to move between worlds.

“If you learn before I do, please, you have to teach me.”

He felt it the moment the hero was slain. He felt it like he did every time a timeline came to an end, though it had been a long time since it had been before the job had been done. Another timeline, a life in which he couldn't help Link.

This one had interacted with him a little more quietly but those quiet moments that he would interact, signing away or using a sheik slate to message and interact. Those were moments he treasured as they travelled.

Those times he would communicate so highly about his family; especially his younger sister. One who had caught her older brother signing to thin air more than once. He never seemed to mention who or what he was talking with.

But those thoughts came crashing back as he registered once more the scene before him, the young spirit screamed so much so that the air around them just whipped up and knocked the enemy away, Leon had never gotten so worked up before.

He was now excepting the normal fade to black as he let tears fall and eyes shutter shut as his knees collapsed and he fell to the ground.

A moment passed and then another.

He opened his eyes and looked around him, he was still here. What was keeping him here now, was there another here who would take up the sword, another he had to protect?

"But...But he's gone...He...No. Farore no, please Hylia no..."

He hushed her softly he knew that she didn't say anything, but he could see it in her eyes the apology she probably wanted to give him, but it was not warranted if anyone needed to apologise it was him. Softly he held her hand, rubbing his thumb against the back of her hand.

Softly after a breath, he softly began to sing. He hadn't sung especially in Greek for a long time, however it came as almost naturally as breathing, a little shaky on some words but that might have been due to worry more than how long it had been.

He was hoping the soft song would help Kanako sleep. That's what she needed right now. Needed rest and to know she was safe. He would keep her so, no matter the cost it would cost him personally.

"..Kanako please sleep, I will keep you safe. I promise no matter who or what stands in my way, please....I..cant lose you"

Fear. 

Genuine Fear. 

Something that the God had not felt in truly a long time, he might even venture with ever having felt it before this moment, at least not enough that he could remember like he was feeling it in this moment. 

And yet something snapped in him, to head to Noburu, and instruct her to go and get the epipen and the medic back immediately and to keep as calm as she could. Panicking now was only going to complicate and make things worse if Kanako panicked more because of them. He reassured he had this and would make sure she was okay, he also made sure to get her to check whoever served the food. 

Because the rockfall could be seen as an accident but this happening too and so soon. He knew something or someone was trying to send a message. 

Once he had sent Noburu on her way, while he couldn’t fully heal her, it was not in his wheel house to do so, he more worked with the dead sure he could bring them back to life. However with how things were going and he could feel her life ebbing slightly, he could at least keep her held here and ease her breathing slightly. 

He would move a hand through her hair and lightly kiss her forehead, a little magic to try and calm her. 

“Shhh Kanako….I’m here it’s okay. We will help you and get to the bottom of this…whoever did this…” 

However in this moment, he knew that this happening to her was in likely hood happening because of him somehow. He had to work out why and who fast. 

Noburu was reluctant to leave her best friend behind, especially in the Lioness’s dire state. But she knew Kanako would be in good hands with Elliot. With a heavy heart, she quickly gave Kanako’s hand a tight squeeze, to comfort her. “Hang in there. I promise I’ll be back soon…” Noburu said, before quickly leaving to get help.

Watching Noburu leave, Kanako tries her best to calm herself down by breathing. But she could feel fear creeping over her mind and body, and it was about to consume her whole. To try and keep her mind off of things, she began to question her fate and God, why were they being so cruel to her? She wondered if there was something she had done to deserve this, or if it was just a bad coincidence. Leading the Lioness through her thoughts, from the falling boulder that almost crushed her and Elliot, to this, which only infuriated her more. And if she wasn’t in this predicament, she would have broken down crying, overwhelmed by the situation and incidents.

It was a poor decision on her part, as she only stressed herself out even more and began to struggle to breathe. Feeling a warm, reassuring hand gently over hers. Her eyes met Elliot’s, who looked so helpless and frustrated. Never has the Lioness seen such a vulnerable side of him before, and she feels awful for putting him through such an ordeal. Desperately, she wanted to apologize to him, but she couldn’t, as she felt her last breath being taken away from her, and darkness suddenly took hold.

Spyro had no idea where he was. Perhaps walking through unknown portals that he hadn't seen before was not the way to do things. But Spyro was an adventuring hero at heart, how could he not want to explore it.

Of course he was cautious and careful, well he wasn't to start with but after hearing some rather loud and heavy footfalls, he took to maybe keeping himself hidden for the moment.

However he did from his hiding spot, spot a girl. Now she seemed interesting and new to him. For now he's just going to lay low hope she can't spot him and watch for the moment.

Judai is currently just munching on his sandwich as he looks though the new pack of cards he bought. He was on a lunch break from his job of the week or few weeks depending.

He does have his hood up so it's not obvious who it is. He realised rather quick his hair is a dead giveaway to most people to who he is and well he is doing his best to keep that on the lowdown best he can.

He's sat on a bench in a nearby park. He's not fully aware of his surroundings as he also seems to be having a small mumbled conversation to himself or otherwise.
