"... I'm sorry I didn't ask, but I didn't want to ruin the surprise that I was making something for you. I know you like music, so I... uh..."

Trost extended his hand to Erin, revealing a small wooden figurine of a guitar that he'd spent a while intricately carving.

"I don't know where you can put it, or really... how you can do anything with it... but I thought it would be nice to do. Maybe don't tell Jemand, I think he'll get weird..."

He stared at her for a while, in silence -- both because he couldn't think of a way to argue that, and... well, her being cute was working. It was hard to keep picking on Flora when she was so good at giving the sad cat look.

So Todd relented, and stepped over where the scrunchy had fallen, sighing as he picked it up and then waved it in front of his own face.

"Aaaaah. Spider. Aaaaaah." His voice and expression were entirely deadpan, and then he let himself 'collapse' on the floor.

Flora's lips pursed when he called her out.

"You know exactly why anyone would be worried, Trost. I'll just bully you by getting whipped cream on your cheek. You'll get me back tenfold."

By now, her pouting was more than obvious, and she wasn't trying to hide it. Maybe she can get out of this by being cute enough. It's not that she didn't think he could mess with her - Flora just knew he was a lot more creative than her when it came to his retaliation. Most of the time.

"... Erm ..."

Laut stared ahead at the portal as Erin stepped through, and then Jemand. And then almost everyone else... just him and Trost were left in the room, him staring at the way out with his heart pounding. He was terrified.

Even if Erin just changed everyone else, what if she hadn't changed him? What if he was doomed to be stuck here? What if he couldn't get through that portal?

What if--

"KYAAAAAH!!"

Trost shoved him through the portal and he went flying forward, toppling into the tavern and skidding slightly against the wooden floor.

"I wouldn't have had to do that if you just moved your ass." Trost scolded, stepping through.

"Of course, Laut. I'd have loved for you to come along before, but you said you couldn't leave the tower. You can now. If you'd like to keep your job I can make it so you'd be able to do it on the go as well, if you like, or if you'd prefer not to anymore I can set something else up."

Or just give everyone cell phones. At the very least a GPS sort of system would make finding them a lot easier. But...well. Maybe he didn't want to keep his job. Maybe he did. Maybe he wanted to think about it. Maybe...any of a million things.

Eternity was a long time. Things could change. Change was good. Kept things interesting.

She hoped at least Renee and Jemand could still leave, even if she couldn't. Getting some reference on the outside world.

Spaces within the Void were building themselves based on her memories, places she visited, grand vistas that had taken her breath away, niche areas of various countries that she'd delighted in...

Too many thoughts. Too much. One thing at a time.

She'd really wanted to talk to that angel.

"Let's go though. Come on."

Making the portal was less than a thought's work. Also there was a latte in her hand she realized that she'd wished for without thinking about it, which was strange and annoying, because she almost dropped it.

This would...take some getting used to.

@shindahime wanted a spear for Sunny so the spear cometh

Dog-killing piece of shit. Gonna get killed now, you piece of shit. Piece of shit dog-killing killer gonna get killed, piece of--

Trost had spent hours of the day carving a spear. It was a miracle he had not been caught by Flora creating it, and even more miraculous she didn't catch him taking his leave, both leaving the tower and tracking down Sunny with it.

But there was one fatal flaw with his plan.

His proficiency with weapons was long gone, his powers having been replaced with the ones for invisibility, so when he chucked the spear...

It didn't even come close to hitting Sunny, whizzing ahead of him and sticking into the ground.

"--!!"

OH FUCK. Oh fuck. Oh fuck. Oh fuck.

Trost vanished from sight immediately after it stuck the landing, staying still as he possibly could and trying not to make a sound.

"You brat... mm... trying to make me sleep..."

With all the strength he could muster, he barely pushed himself forward to blindly kiss her forehead, and then continued relaxing next to her. His lips opened wide in a yawn, and then he pulled the covers over himself.

... And then he was unconscious-- and throwing an arm around her as he slept.

She giggled at the threat. "Then I'm going to keep doing it." She'll take the punishment.

She continued to stroke his hair, lightly scratching his scalp with her nails. She could lay like this for hours if she could.

But seriously? She was trying to coax him to sleep.

Patalliro! is fascinating to me because of stuff like this. It's unapologetically gay - even within its anime which aired during primetime hours in 1982 - in a way that many later BL manga would never be, like the ones from the early 2000s which would never dare to call their characters actual homosexuals. Patalliro has actually aged quite well in this regard, there's something comforting about how campy it is.

Corvus is Latin for crow, and Umbranox is Latin for dark night, so basically the Gray Fox has the edgiest name in Cyrodiil. XD

But I got randomly curious if Millona was Latin, and according to Google translate it means millions and her full name translates to this:

Is this true? If so, I think that's pretty cool.

Also I don't know how accurate these are, but giving them relatives could be fun. XD
