#Nero cannot cook but he's trying

[the-phantom-otaku]

Making breakfast

Bonus

[bitterlycursedstars]

Hmm. Very good question, anon. (I really hope you like this)

Cursed—

This man does not know how to do anything on his own outside of fighting.

Dishes? Puts soap in the cast iron pan. Cuts himself on a knife immediately, which is extremely ironic. Somehow gets water e v e r y w h e r e.

Cooking? Burns water. Reads "2 cups" of sugar instead of "2/3 cup". Accidentally set fire to the microwave while cooking an egg.

Making the bed? Immediately gets wrapped and tangled in the fitted sheet like Frodo after Shelob was finished with him.

Also, the man was trapped in the underworld for 20+ years. He cannot possibly smell good. He'd constantly smell like blood and sweat.

Heaven help you when he discovers "What Does The Fox Say?" He'll play it on repeat for literal hours on end AND sing every single word.

He's absolutely crazy about kittens, and will randomly bring 20 of them home one day. "But they were so small and soft. You could not possibly expect me to just leave them there. Foolish boy/girl."

He absolutely does not understand flirting or innuendos (yes, I know V does). "Hey, handsome. Every other seat is taken. Do you mind if I sit there?" *points to his lap* "I very much mind. Here- just take my seat instead."

Has constant resting bitch face that you'll just have to deal with.

Blessed—

As I've said many times before, this man will love and protect you til his very last breath. He knows how it feels to be hurt and abandoned, and he swears to never let you feel it from him.

He says absolutely not when you bring it up, but deep down he would adore a baby that he could watch grow up.

He frequently has nightmares due to his horrible past, so he pulls you closer to him in his sleep and holds you tightly all night as his whimpering slowly subsides.

One of his favorite activities is just sitting beside you as he quietly reads his book and sips a cup of hot tea, enjoying the closeness between you two.

He loves kissing your forehead, especially if you're shorter than him. It makes him feel strong and even makes him smile.

He'll never admit it, but he loves when you call him 'pretty boy'. He'll huff and look away from you, scowling, but he's really only try to hide the blush creeping up on his pale cheeks.

He especially likes it if you and Nero become close, since neither one of them grew up with much of a family.

[blagam0nie]

My Tavi fancanon cuz I have geo exam tommorow but I'm too lazy.

• He's really hard-working. Like he often does paperwork untill midnight, even when he's sick (he gets cold at least once a month). The only day when he refuses working is friday 13th. Tavi doesn't even try to get up from bed, becuse he is sure that something is going to kill him that day.

• Being Bi is like being blond in Apollo's family. Apollo is bi, Will's bi, Nero is Bi (he litteraly had a husband). Tavi is bi too but he doesn't have time for such a stupid things as "romance". He had a crush for Jason when he was younger, but when he got paranoid about being betrayed he killed that feeling. When he saw Jason talking with Reyena about Piper and hurting her with that, tavi was happy that he doesn't love him anymore.

• If someone kicked Tavi out of New Rome and gave him computer or something like that he would play CS:GO saying bad words in russian angrily or steals swimming pool's ladders in the sims 4

• Tavi and Jason are simmilar hight and nobody noticed the diffrence so Tavi starter to wear high heels or platform shoes just to be taller and be able to look down at Jason.

• Tavi thinks that he feels so chill with Michael becuse he uses charmspeak (he doesn't).

• He still cannot belive that when he literally tried to murder Will's friends, his home e.t.c., the worst thing that Will was able to say was "anemic loser". Like Will just can't cook.

[Translation] Shylock SR Card Story: What is he intoxicated with.

Man, I like this event alot.

Event: Reflections of the Moon in the Teardrops of Pavone Characters: Shylock, Bradley

Episode 1

Bradley: What luck, I returned to the bar after flyin’! Give me a strong drink.

Shylock: As you wish. Oh, what is that herb you're holding in your hand? You've found something rare.

Bradley: Heh, isn't it great? I picked it up on the fly. That's right. While you’re at it, whip up some snacks with this too, yeah? When ya use this in meat dishes, it gives off a fragrance like baked apples and enhances the flavor of the ingredients. I'll sneak some meat from the kitchen.

Shylock: You bad man. But it sounds like fun and thrilling to sneak into the kitchen and avoid Nero's eyes.

Bradley: Right? So, let's get started right away...

Shylock: But I'm afraid I must decline. I have decided to use this herb for herbal wine, not meat dishes.

Bradley: Wine? Meat is what ya should use this herb for.

Shylock: No, for me, the most beautiful way to showcase this herb is through alcohol. Under the soft caress of moonlight, countless nights are spent gently roasting herbs by the flickering flame of a match, their essence coaxed out and infused into my favorite wine...

Episode 2

Shylock: A refreshing clarity like morning dew, and a deep, lingering taste like a sweet rendezvous with an unforgettable lady. As I indulge in the sweet and mellow taste that moistens my throat, before I know it, the glass is empty. Left alone with the empty glass, the one who has learned of that sweet taste cannot help but crave it just one more time. As if trapped in the whirlpool of a tide.

Bradley: Ha! So ya can't escape that trap either.

Shylock: Yes. I’m sure that if I turn it into wine, I can make you even happier… Because of that, I can't bear to use such precious herbs for anything else, as a bar owner.

Bradley: I see. That's a story worth listening to. But what if I still told you to use it for meat? I'm in the mood for a hearty meal right now.

Shylock: Then I'll have to close the bar.

Bradley: …Ahaha! You're a stubborn bastard too, ya know? But you’re right. Only those who appreciate your aesthetic should come to this place. ….Take it.

Shylock: Oh, are you sure you want to give this herb to me?

Bradley: Yeah. Your story has filled me up. Instead, I'm hankering for a sip of your best hooch, even if it takes forever. This herb should cover the cost, alright?

Shylock: Of course. I'll make you a delicious herbal wine. Please wait for that day with anticipation.

Card Episode: About the Herb

Akira: Shylock, why did you invite me to the bar today?

Shylock: I made herbal wine using the rare herb that Bradley gave me. I also made a non-alcoholic version, so if you like, I'd be honored if you would try it, Sir Sage.

Akira: Wow...Thank you! I'm looking forward to trying this rare drink! Oh, by the way, the other day, Bradley treated me to herb-sautéed meat. He said it was a rare herb, but could it be the same one?

Shylock: Oh, do you remember the flavor of that herb?

Akira: Yes. It had a sweet, apple-like aroma and was delicious. I felt like I could eat it forever if I cooked meat with that herb!

Shylock: I see...so that’s what happened.

Shylock: ….Hehe. That means he didn’t give me all, huh? Such an unreadable man.

Akira: Huh? What do you mean?

Shylock: Oh, I'm just mumbling about what you told me. ...Well then, Sir Sage. Here is the drink made with the herb you mentioned. I will bring you an experience that rivals the herb sauté.

******

Home Screen Voice: Oh, there's a scratch on the bar shelf... It seems Murr has gnawed on it. Perhaps he learned that there is a jar of delicious nuts back there. I'll give him a little bit as a snack tonight.

[tiredpandaportfolio]

What spice tolerances so you think the sparda boys have?

Oh, as a spice fiend, I always have a lot of thoughts about this :D

All Three

So, being part demon means they have hypersensitive... well, senses. They can smell and taste even the most subtle aromas and flavours. Of course, this is a double-edged sword, as it means that while they can savour foods in ways normal people can't, they are all also very sensitive to spices, among other things.

It does help that they all have stomach acid that could melt stones, so they aren't really prone to stomach aches.

They all have rather different tolerances and reactions.

Dante

Dante has an alarmingly high spice tolerance. Despite the sensitivity, he actively enjoys the burn, as long as it has some flavour to it. Specifically, he really likes some sweet with his fire, so he enjoys hot sauces that incorporate fruit.

He won't eat spicy foods often but once in a while he gets that craving and will find the absolutely most mouth-melting hot sauce or spicy dish to have. He treats it as some kind of unhinged challenge to satisfy his adrenaline-junkie ways. Since even mild spice hits harder, he's always trying to see how far he can push it. He doesn't react too strongly too it, pushing himself to try and no-sell the burn. At most, he'll sweat a little bit and sniffle for a bit.

At the moment, he's sitting somewhere around the ghost pepper range (1 mil Scoville and change) and is already itching to find the next challenge.

Trust me, he'll balk at the Trinidad scorpion. The sensitivity/tolerance balance will tip too far, and he will have no regrets.

Nero

Nero likes spicy foods, but his tolerance range is tempered by his reactivity to it. He prefers tangy spicy sauces and dishes, with a lot of salt and lime.

Nero will go for spicy foods whenever he can get them, and tries to make them himself, with varying results. That sticky note in Nico's van is evidence of a poor understanding of cooking... I mean, steak and jalapenos in the oven? Come on... There is a degree of testing his limits rather than enjoying the food for it's sake and frankly, he's still learning to adjust his flavour palate to more "adult" preferences, like pasta all'arabiatta.

He is not above trying to shotgun an entire bag of Flamin' Hot Cheetos just to prove he can.

He unfortunately has some very visible reactions to spice. He sweats like a pig, sniffles for up to thirty minutes afterwards and, after a certain threshold of spice, drinks water and other liquids constantly, to the point of almost making himself sick.

His current record is Thai pepper sauce (about 50-70k Scoville) and that was already a bit of a stretch of his limits. He's one double-dog-dare from Dante away from a trip to the hospital.

Vergil

Vergil does not handle spice very well. At all. His tolerance, much like with alcohol, is rather embarrassing. He actually prefers rather bland food but there's some signs of improvement as he reintergrates into society. He's not even a bit shy about his inclination towards burgers.

He may scoff at Dante, but his own diet is really just as bad. He won't seek out spicy foods but if he's around Dante or Nero, the goading will eventually get to him and he'll try something. Sometimes he ends up liking what he's eating, sometimes not. It's terrible whenever he feels he needs to compete with them because then he'll try something beyond his tolerance and that never ends well.

His reactions are the most extreme; he sweats, his face gets very red, he gets a very runny nose and cannot stop drinking whatever liquid he gets his hands on. He'll get stomach cramps soon enough.

The best Vergil can do is Serrano peppers (about 10-20k Scoville) and that's a stretch. He actually doesn't want to try anything hotter but again... daring/challenging him proves to be his undoing every single time.

[dollivication]

OMG HELLO AGAIN!

You got my vibe you definitely match my freak 💋

I love how you said it "spiders in the tummy" just- that's exactly what I wanted to say

But now imagine the second reaction?

Girl this just keeps going around in my head-

He's sobbing in front of her, demanding an explanation as to why she's suddenly lost interest in him, did he do something wrong? Something she don't like? He's so dense that cannot understand that his attitude was the whole problem!

He even tries to gently take her hands, looking for some contact, something to keep him focused, but the speed with which she pulls her hand away hurts him almost physically.

Now, what if reader gets even ruder? Saying something like 'are you seriously asking that? Dude just- fuck off...' and looking at him in disgust? Bro he is no longer crying suddenly he thinks he's had enough

The last thing he sees pass before his eyes is how, by instinct, his hands travel to the collar of her shirt, pushing her hard against the wall. There are no more tears, now there is pure fucking anger, Shaking her hard demanding that she stop being a little bitch and go back to the way she was before-

I dunno maybe him forcing her to kiss him and get in her knees and apologize for being rude then he kneels in front of her with a smile knowing that he got his way again.

Dollie you don't know how bad I want to make him cry and then make him angry 😞

Build a Yandere results!

It’s finally done!! I apologise for the delay with posting this, but hopefully it was worth the wait! Thank you again to everyone who contributed to the event and I hope you enjoy the final result! 💕

As I mentioned in the original post, you can send in hc/scenario requests, ask the yandere direct questions, ask for drawings etc now that they are done! I really hope you enjoy interacting with them!

Yandere and info under the cut!

Introducing Nero!

General info!

Nero is 21 years old and his birthday is the 12th July

He stands at about 6’0 but often wears platforms which make him closer to 6’3

His dad is an executive in a mafia family and owns a large business to act as a coverup. Nero will be taking over for him eventually so he’s majoring in business

However, he’s also minoring in English Literature as he adores reading and writing poems and he wanted to become a writer himself at some point

Despite his intimidating demeanour, Nero is actually a massive hopeless romantic and you can’t really tell how… passionate he is if you ever get the chance to read one of his poems

Nero is often seen carrying around cigarettes, although he doesn’t actually smoke. There was a misunderstanding once where someone assumed he wanted a cigarette when he came over to them, and since then people have assumed that’s what he wants whenever he approaches someone

He has a younger sister whom he absolutely adores and would do anything to keep her happy. She loves painting his nails and playing with his hair so he keeps them both long for her

He’s also in charge of looking after her a lot so he’s getting close to househusband material. He’s amazing at cleaning and getting it done super fast, but cannot cook for the life of him. He’s trying his hardest to get better at it though

Nero has partial heterochromia in his left eye!

He has tattoo’s from his father’s mafia family on his back and right arm. He covers the one on his arm with bandages so he doesn’t look as unapproachable or scary, but the bandages make it looks like he gets in lots of fights so it’s slightly counter intuitive

He’s an ambivert. There are times where he has to be social and interact with lots of people, and he doesn’t mind too much. But he also loves to spend a lot of time cooped up in his house doing nothing

Not a hc, but a fun fact abt his design! The lip piercing he has is called an angel bite and he has pointy jewellery to mimic vampire teeth! This is bc the human votes won, but it was a super close call between him being an angel or a vampire if he was non human. Just a cute lil easter egg 💕

Yandere type!

Nero is obsessive first and foremost. When he falls for someone, he falls hard and all his thoughts and actions revolve around them

His poems go from being about the feeling of wanting to experience love and a relationship, to cryptic but heavily detailed confessions to the object of his desires

He’s also quite protective of them as well. He knows that because of his father’s line of work, he has a target on his back as well and that it is probably extended towards his darling, so he goes above and beyond in ‘protecting’ them. Even if they’re not aware that he’s made it his job to watch over them 24/7

His persistence comes about from the perceived lack of sincerity that his darling assumes he holds

No matter how many times he asks them out to a nice fancy restaurant, or a cute little picnic, or on a world famous cruise, or even just to go see a movie. He’s not very outwardly expressive so every invitation seems to hold a tinge of insincerity, no matter how genuine he’s trying to be

The constant rejections won’t stop him or deter him though. They usually go right over his head as he continues to follow his darling around for the rest of the day

Even if they don’t enjoy his presence, he’s still gonna be right there next to him as often as he can be. He likes being close to them and it helps keep the others away as well

If his darling willingly lets him hang around them though? Well he’s got this excited air around him the entire day, the positivity practically radiating off of him. Which is actually helpful, since just looking at his expression would make you think he’s regretting even asking

His darling’s friends are absolutely not invited to hang out though. Just having his darling acknowledge someone else is enough to set him over the edge, let alone if he hears them planning outings together or anything like that

He knows he doesn’t have the right to monopolise his darling’s time, but he just can’t help but want to keep them all to himself without any pests bothering them. What’s more romantic than being the only person in each other’s lives?

He views his darling way above him. Nero knows he’s by no stretch of the imagination a good person. Especially considering the ties to the mafia through his father. Compared to him, his darling is practically a saint that can do no wrong

DMC Boys x Dissociative Reader♥

Summary; Dante, Vergil and Nero comfort you during a dissociative episode.

Warning; Mental health issues, depression, dissociation, written from my own experience with mental illness, reader is written to be gender neutral

MASTERLIST🌸

Dante

Dante isn’t the best with all that touchy feely feelings stuff, he’s not completely incompetant but he’d rather avoid it if he has the choice. Seeing you suffer takes that choice away, he could never leave you alone in that state. So while he has no idea what he’s doing, he tries his best to be there for you. 

He’s like an oversized house cat, so if you’re one for physical contact, he’ll wrap you in his strong arms and rest his head on your chest. He’s careful not to crush you but you can feel his comforting weight on your body. He needs the comfort just as much as you to be honest. His hand finds its way into your hair, gently rubbing your scalp and running his fingers through your soft locks. If you don’t have hair, expect him to be caressing your cheek. He just wants you to be able to feel that he’s there for you. The reassuring touches help to ground you, even if it doesn’t snap you out of it. Helping, even if all it does is keep you calm and comfortable, is enough for him. Dante has the best of intentions when it comes to you but sometimes he has a habit of coddling you, and letting you just lay in bed all day. He just doesn’t want you to get upset, you could rip his heart out and he’d thank you for it honestly.

He’ll play some music for you, your favourite songs or even just straight up sing to you himself. You can feel his voice rumbling in your chest as he sings to you, soft, loving promises of better days full of love and joy. Things will get better for you, for both of you.

Vergil

Vergil is very much not equipped to deal with other people’s mental health. Poor man is going through a rough time himself, but that doesn’t mean he wouldn’t at least try. You’re lucky he cares about you. He’s awkward at initiating any kind of contact and avoids it usually, the only exception tends to be when he is worried about you. It isn’t unusual for him to embrace you after a particularly dangerous job, holding you like you’re made of glass. It is one of the few rare moments others get to see the more gentle side of Vergil. 

He’ll sit you down on the couch, a slight upgrade from lying in bed all day, and guide you into a comfortable position where your head is resting on his shoulder. 

He’ll read to you, murmuring into your ear as he gently takes one of your numb hands in his. The feeling of his thumb rubbing circles into your cold skin is enough to tell you all the words he cannot bring himself to say. He’s worried about you. He wants you to be happy. He wishes he could help more. He loves you. All things he fights so hard to make sure you know… and yet he can’t say it to you. 

Vergil has a lot of his own demons to fight, that’s for sure. But you make him better. You give his life stability, you are his rock. And he’ll return the favour to you. You’ll never have to go through all of this alone.

Nero

Seeing you like this kills him. Nero is emotional by nature, he struggles to control it most of the time. The way you completely shut down and go numb, it scares him. It genuinely scares him. And that pisses him off. 

He’s aggressive in his looking after you, he’s not mean and he won’t yell at you or anything, but he also won’t just let you sleep all day. You’ll be getting up, showering– even if he has to clean you himself, and he’ll make sure you eat something. The curtains and windows are wide open, music playing and the smell of cooking filling the air. Sometimes you just want to brew in your numbness but he will. Not. Let you. This man absolutely adores you, and with that adoration comes the need to protect. Protect you from yourself if need be. 

He won’t lay around cuddling with you on days like these, but there is a softness to how he interacts with you. More so than usual. Cupping your cheek and speaking slowly when he needs to get your attention, brushing your hair and helping you get dressed. He’ll hold your hand throughout the day, or squeeze your shoulder to keep you grounded. He’s such a loving man, underneath all the snark and cockiness, he cares more than he lets on. As a child he always dreamed of having a family. And now he finally has it, he doesn’t plan on letting anyone he cares about get hurt. That includes you. 

So, while living with mental illness can be absolute hell… you keep going. If not for yourself, then for the people that love you.

[chryza]

Masterpost of what I think about you based on who you simp for in FFXIV I’m going to try and include as many characters I’ve vibe checked as possible but if yours isn’t here comment them and I’ll give you a custom roast for free.

Tataru-I love you. You want someone who can cook for you and tease you and who in turn you will shower with affection which is the only currency you have to offer

Estinien-I’m gonna be honest the only thing I can offer here is that you like brooding men who are idiots. Don’t go for a joint bank account.

Krile-You need a partner that will fill the emotional void left by your mommy issues

Moenbryda-You have autism but you kin urianger instead of crushing on him. Or ur just really into chicks who can crush you with their thighs and you’re mad that people turned it into a meme

Nanamo-you are SO into the princess and knight aesthetic thing, you LOVE fairytales so much.

Lahabrea-The line between annoyance and attraction is a tightrope you walk every day but by god you’re walking it

Cid-GOD you love himbos it’s not even a “haha I love stupid men” thing to you it’s a REQUIREMENT, the men you date need a HIMBO RESUME

Hraesvelgr- ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Igeyorhm-What does it matter if a female character is developed, you are horny in the here and now and that’s more important. You probably think femdom is hot too 👀

Stormblood (god help me)

To preface-if any character from stormblood is your simp of choice you automatically get a sticker that says WEEB slapped on your forehead.

Yugiri-I feel like you listen to metal and keep neat pets like tarantulas or snakes. I cannot explain why.

Gosetsu-For want of a proper bushido character you settled on him but then when the Tsuyu plotline happened you genuinely fell in love with him. Kind of a DILF, reblog.

Hien-himbo connoisseur. You own a sword.

Sadu-WOMEN. BIG FAN OF W O M E N. That’s your only personality trait rn but that’s okay, life’s hard.

Zenos-you are a godless degenerate who is unironically into BDSM (it’s okay me too)

Yotsuyu- You know she’s a femme fatale. You know there’s no way that’s going to end well. But you are so allured by her viciousness and tragic backstory what does it matter that you’ll end up dead on the floor. “I can fix her” yeah keep telling yourself that bud.

Fordola-you are genuinely one of the sweetest people in the world and I think you COULD fix her actually.

Asahi-Liar, you’re a fandaniel simp

Shadowbringers

Lyna-you believe drinking your respect women juice is not only an obligation but an honor and you still avert your eyes from the Victoria’s Secret posters in the mall

Kai-Shirr-HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Runar- I feel like I can’t even call you a furry in bad faith. You just love nice men that much. Who cares if he’s a lion.

Ran’jit-I…don’t believe you? You’ll have to explain to me why you like him

Ardbert-So soft. So nice. Hnnnn oh yeah we were talking about you. You’re not a himbo enjoyer because you do prefer men who have some brain cells but you DO like em sad and you DO like em muscley

Emet-Selch- He is the character who in the entire game the story tries its hardest to make us simp for. It worked. The only thing I can do is quote another video on this same subject: You are DISEASED.

Elidibus-Someone hits u with the 🥺 and you melt like butter. Your favorite activity is peace and quiet.

Endwalker

Fandaniel-You self-identify as a goblin. You were a theatre kid. You love that he’s sad and insane but you don’t want to fix him. That would ruin the appeal.

Ameliance-“Bro I said I wanted to fuck Ameliance as a joke but bro….I don’t think it’s a joke anymore”

Nidhana-You’re correct. About everything. You’ve never been wrong. You own booty shorts that say “I love women in STEM” on the ass

Vrtra- ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Jullus-for you, enemies to lovers isn’t just a trope, it’s a lifestyle

Venat-📸 hmm? Oh sorry that was just me taking a picture of you admitting you desperately crave someone to take care of you. Mommy issues. NEXT!

Hermes-you adamantly differentiate between Hermes and Fandaniel, but at what point must the line be drawn for your “I can fix him” complex to kick in hmm??

Hythlodaeus-You have a praise kink. (You also should come be my friend. We can simp for him together ☺️)

[uroboros-if]

how would the RO's react to a tsundere MC with a cat like demeanor who is an ABSOLUTE LOVER of sweets and they just happen to have a rotten tooth from all their sugary diet (if gods can have tooth aches that is-) and may i ask some reaction from their parents as well if possible? 🥺👉👈

FOR THIS SCENARIO TO COME TRUE I SHALL SACRIFICE ALL OF MY APPLES 🍎🍎🍎 AND APPLEPIES 🍰🍰🍰 !!!

🍰🍰🍰🍎🍎🍎

It's very unlikely MC's teeth can deteriorate, but I'll imagine an MC who loves sweets recklessly!

Salvatore: Would have to restrain MC from eating so much, like one of those cats you spray with water if they're misbehaving. MC, you most definitely cannot have another! How about they try these fruits instead? They're sweet as well!

Luciel: Assuming MC's teeth can't deteriorate, they'd probably be happy to indulge MC's wishes to eat sweets. They can't cook very well (and very few of the gods actually can), but they'd be happy to learn more from the bakers in the afterlife what you're after. If they can deteriorate, though, Luciel wouldn't force MC not to consume them -- they'd just give them an extremely disappointed look and try to encourage them to eat less!

Ciocana: Probably right there with you eating a bunch of sweets. They probably care too much about their appearance to eat as far as their teeth going bad, but otherwise, they'd happily hoard and eat them with you. Of course, gods need to understand the mortal pleasures of food! It's for scientific purposes!

Alessi: ... Yeah, not going to lie, they probably can't resist sweets, either. They haven't eaten much, so having the luxury to eat them whenever is a blessing! They probably still wouldn't overindulge, but they'd understand MC's obsession with it. Would chastise MC if they keep eating with a rotten tooth, however, and try to keep them off it the same way as Salvatore.

Nero: Wouldn't admit it out loud, but he'd definitely indulge their bad habit of eating. He can't resist making MC happy. The only time he wouldn't is if they somehow get a rotten tooth from it, and he'd be so flabbergasted. That really, really shouldn't be possible... It isn't!

Rafaele: Same as Nero, except a little more responsible. Would dote and give MC lots of sweets, but he'd have the insight to check on MC and see the signs to try to discourage them from it. Can't they do it for their dad! Think of their father!

Eating food should be a pleasure only reserved for mortals! Thank you for the ask taco ♥️

14 for your wolship!

14) Anything they both dread?

What Cid and Fortuna both dread is mainly Fortuna dying. She's the one going out and saving the world and from time to time Cid helps - and they do PDA even when it's Saving The World stuff and are very cute and sometimes it's so cute it's sick but what can you do - but when he isn't he's just waiting for any kind of word that she's okay. When she goes off to the First he is raising their daughter mostly alone - he'll go to the Rising Stones and hang out with literally anyone he can find so he doesn't go mad with worry also he's new to the whole dad thing and he needs all the help he can get, also Tataru makes the baby clothes it's VERY cute - and she's back fairly soon. It feels like that to them anyway, but it's a lot longer on the First since time passes differently and all that.

In "Endwalker" he's VERY aware of the stakes, and that while going to a completely different world entirely is one thing, going to the far edges of the universe is completely different and absolutely terrifying to him. That's mainly because he's helping build the ship that's going to get all of them there so he's doing tons of hard work making sure everything is perfect and the trip goes smoothly, but the worst part is the waiting. Cid knows Fortuna will succeed, she always does, it's just feeling the minutes and the hours pass by so slowly it's agonizing. He's pacing around all nervous, trying to find something to build or fix, finding something to work on, overthinking, and then snapping a wrench in half because he cannot bear thinking about living in a world without Fortuna. Nero's just off to the side seeing Cid accidentally break tools like 👁️👁️ okay I hope Jessie doesn't charge us for that because he cannot read the room.

And sure, Cid can get into some factory accident and there's a horrible explosion that mortally wounds or maims him, even though he is incredibly careful. Most of the time, anyway, because when Fortuna is off on an adventure he comes up with increasingly wild inventions to take up time. And then she'll come home and be like "Why'd you make the grill freeze things instead of cook things" and he just says it was because he got bored and missed her so much. Cid is very much a malewife and he won't shut up about being married to the Warrior of Light it's very cute.

But at the core of it they dread losing each other, or being separated, or having to live without the other. That's what keeps them up and what they have nightmares about and dread more than anything.

Thank you !! :]

Devil May Cry OC Week Day 4!

I’m actually really excited for @dmc-oc-week day for because it gives me the opportunity to talk about Sirrus without delving into spoilers! Yay loopholes!

This contains slight spoilers, but nothing super important. Just keep that in mind. it won’t effect anything, but if you want to go in totally blind, tread carefully.

Dislikes:

Note: if your wondering why I did dislikes first, it’s because that’s just how Sirrus is lol! He’s not a downer, but he likes to think of himself as a realist, but he’s slightly closer to being a pragmatic nihilist, and that lack of optimism lingers in his day to day life because he’s naturally going to have his guard up at all times. He can’t be disappointed if his expectations are nonexistent. Big mood, Sirrus.

1. His father. As previously mentioned, Sirrus is not on good terms with his father. At all. In fact, he’s actively waiting for his father’s hubris to catch up to him along with some of the enemies he’s made along the way so that he himself doesn’t have to confront him and possible end him because he knows he has it coming, but he doesn’t have it in him to do it himself. He’s probably powerful enough, but he just doesn’t have the heart. Despite everything, he’s still got a small ounce of compassion in his heart towards his father that he can’t let go of, something that he loathes about himself. It’s pretty unhealthy.

2. People that abuse power, authority, or social standing. This is actually a large issue in his own immediate family, and that’s part of why his dislike for it is so powerful. He genuinely believes that you should positively contribute to the lives of others if you have the means to, and if nothing else, that you should not detract from them. As a result, he’s developed a dislike of a large portion of people in power because, I mean, fair enough. But his family does not escape this designation, and that’s a large part of why he does what he does. Not because he believes he has superior judgement or standing over others, but because he cannot solve a problem that he does not understand. So as a result, he has to go out into the field and learn from those his work effects. Assuming that he knows what’s best for everyone while simultaneously never having met those people is literally what he hates most about most people in positions of power, and he strives to not do the same. Being powerful doesn’t mean that your smart, and he knows that first hand. I feel like Sirrus would be into the “eat the rich” thing if it was a thing in the DMC universe. Very into it.

3. His mother. I feel like this one may come as a bit of a surprise to some of you who know more about him from the fic since he’s literally only mentioned her once, and doesn’t speak of her in any broad sense, but Sirrus isn’t on the best of terms with his mother, either. He doesn’t harbor any negativity towards them for splitting up when he was young. In fact, he considers it the best thing that either of them has probably ever done. But he has his reasons for not being on good terms with him mom. Day 6 will cover family and background, so I’ll get to go in depth on that day! For now, lets just put it under the broad but totally accurate category of “extremely toxic and codependent relationship” and go from there. Maybe I’ll make a family tree you you can see how messed up everything is! Yea, that would be fun! Would you like to see that?

4. Extreme heat and sun. In truth, while he does in fact become more powerful in bright sunlight, he still hates it. Why? Simple. It gives him migraines due to one of his existing (but not yet disclosed) abilities. And he just hates to be hot. He’s on the pale side (Ok, he almost makes V look like he has a tan.) so he gets sun burned. And because he’s used to a cooler climate, hot places drive him NUTS. I suppose you could say that “Discomfort” is a dislike of his, too.

5. Desk work. This one probably seems pretty random, but as an adjudicator, he actually has to occasionally file reports, and he ABSOLUTELY HATES EVERY SECOND OF IT. He’s good at what he does, no question there, but it’s kind of like being good at sending corporate emails when you hate the fake corporate politeness that you have to maintain, and you basically despise half of the company you work for. Why does he keep the job? Simple. Because no one can abuse the power of the position he’s in if he does it himself. And for him, that’s worth hating a large aspect of his job,

Likes:

1. V. Yup you read that right. Sirrus absolutely adores V, something that he himself is not used to. At this point, he’s not entirely sure what he feels towards him since they haven’t known one another for very long, but he does realize that he means quite a bit to him. After V saved his life in the fic, he really started to pay more attention to him. Before, they were friendly and he had to admit that he actually did find both V and Nero (and Nico, for that matter) really cute, but that was about it. And then as they started spending more time around one another, Sirrus realized that perhaps he liked being around V for a reason. He’s still working on understanding what he feels, but with everything going on in the fic, for now he’s just there to help and figure out what’s going on so that everything turns out alright. Then he can worry about everything else. But for now, he’s just working it out as he goes and trying to distract V from everything going on in the fic. He realizes that he’s got a lot going on, and he genuinely just wants him to be happy for a few damn minuets.

2. Being around equally strange people. Sirrus feels like an outcast most of the time, so as a general rule, he tries to associate with people as little as possible. That being said, the DMC crew makes him feel right at home, and the supreme otherness that he feels much of the time dissipates when he’s with them. It’s a welcome feeling to be sure.

3. Wine. Sirrus actually enjoys wine quite a bit! It’s something he likes the taste of, and due to his biological inability to drink, it’s something he can basically enjoy without consequence. That being said, his favorite wine is absolutely disgusting to basically everyone who’s ever tasted it (aside form V, much to his surprise) and that may be because of a certain added ingredient that was put into it for flavor. What can I say, he has unorthodox tastes!

4. Cooking good food. Sirrus doesn’t actually need to eat, but he does like to entertain those around him. If he likes you, he will cook for you. It’s that simple. It’s something from his own culture that’s been instilled in him; the idea of taking care of those that show kindness to you. And believe me, that doesn’t happen to him very often. He’s largely ostracized in most social interactions despite the fact that he says and does nothing to cause this. Its a key reason as to why he doesn't talk about what he is. It makes people... uncomfortable. And to add to that, he has a sort of aura to him that unnerves people. The way he tends to look at people at though he’s looking through them instead of at them doesn’t help.

5. Fine arts. Something that doesn’t come up much in the books is that Sirrus has hobbies. And a love for the fine arts. All of them. The more unorthodox, the better. Sirrus is that person who is dead inside and will stare at a piece of artwork for ridiculous amounts of time, pondering it’s meaning. Not in a pretensions way, but in a “what the hell am I doing with my life” sort of way. He’s a walking essential crisis, but he’s nothing if not self aware. But in regards to the arts, if it’s a form of expression, then he’s all for it. And he will probably ask you to teach it to him or become a financial patron to your work. He thinks that art and the people that make it are under appreciated, and the idea of art dying out genuinely scares him to death. He doesn’t think a world without art is worth living in. As an extension to this, he loves history. He considered much of it distasteful, but he recognizes it’s importance.

Bonus: Sirrus likes to send extravagant gifts. This is partially due to the fact that he has a very large sum of money and nothing to spend it on. It’s a regular occurrence that you will mention liking something in passing and then end up having it sent to your house out of nowhere. Sirrus did this to V with basically an entire house of furniture, and V is still trying to process it. But this isn’t the only time he’s going to do something like that. Not by a long shot.

Let me know if you have any questions! I love answering them :D And if you have any input, I’ve love to hear that, too!

[megashadowdragon]

This is one that will definitely be updated over time to add in any jokes someone may add in their own ones that Merlin may have "Helped" with. If you see any, happily tell me about em!

Much like the last one, I will limit it to 50 and start adding more as time goes along, when I hit one hundred from not only my ideas but other peoples, it will be reposted.

1. Under no circumstances will any of these rules be removed/changed, Merlin and any of his future counterparts will all be under the effects of these rules.

1a. It was revealed that we actually had to make a Geass for him to understand the above. This list is going to be a pain in the ass.

2. I will remember that "Excalibur Galatine" is not "Insta-Tan in a Blade" and will not pressure Gawain into using it while at the beach.

3. Spiking the Irish servants meed with something from the Pirates Arsenal is not allowed, the damages to the Simulation Room are still extensive.

4. "I am basically God" is not the best way to get into the pants of Jeanne D'Arc, I will keep that in mind.

4a. "I can kill God" is definitely the best way to get into Avengers pants.

5. Singing any form of meme songs is not allowed, no matter how catchy they are.

6. "Hero Creation" is not to be called "Bockity Boocus, Your Vagene is a Penis." Even if it did cause someone to laugh, the confusion that soon enough followed was not amusing.

7. Stop forcing Mordred to follow you with a boombox playing Shrek Songs, its basically breaking rule 5.

8. Yes, Soup is delicious. No, telling Arthur to shove the Potion of Youth in it isn't. Just because I can say that it helped with Kiyohime and Masters relationship, does not mean I am innocent.

9. Coaxing Arthur into punching Gilgamesh is not allowed, no matter how much of a "Fucking Bastard" he is for trying to force your "Pure and Wholesome" daughter into marriage.

10. Just because Fou hates you, doesn't mean you can piss him off then dodge so he kicks the nearest servant behind you in the face.

11. Writing a sick note is not a good way to sit in my room and watch anime. Servants can't get sick.

12. Just because master feels useless, does not mean that I should bring the "Card System" into Chaldea or make him a magical girl.

13. Could you stop sending Arthur to the kitchen to make you meals? Its getting frustrating because he cooks for everyone -Nameless

14. Giving Kiyohime "advice" is no longer allowed. No more info is needed.

15. "Magic" is not a viable excuse when someone asks you how or why you did something.

16. Just because you were a Grand Caster, does not mean you can waltz into the Babylon Room and kick Gilgamesh off of the throne under the pretense that you are of "Higher Class".

17. Yes, Lancelot did cuck your "Pure and Wholesome" kids. No, you cannot show him the Pain while dressed up as a naruto character.

17a. Do not use gravity manipulation in the dining room, tables are hard to replace.

17b. Turns out that I cannot summon Cerberus without people being pissed, who would have guessed?

18. It is understood that you are a massive playboy, but stop trying to convine the female servants that a Strip Club is a good idea.

19. Providing Arthur with any items is not allowed, this includes and is not limited to: Corrupt Grails Excalizords Motorbikes Copies of Braveheart Illusionary Spells Voice Manipulator Ideas

19a. The above applies to any future servants that are easy to manipulate.

20. We understand you can use magic to make items, but never shove a key into the Key Hole on Abigail's forehead again.

21. Painting every single one of Kintoki's items is not allowed. This goes for double if you try to call him Gintoki.

22. "Suiten Nikkō Amaterasu Yano Shizu-Ishi" does not translate to "Eightfold Blessing of How Ugly Your Are", not even if it uses a mirror as a focal point.

23. "You're probably related to me somehow" is not the best ice breaker for new servants.

24. Becoming female is not allowed.

24a. BECOMING FEMALE IS NOT ALLOWED.

24b. NO, NOT EVEN IF YOU ADD A DICK!

25. While going to the beach is fun, do not reach into other versions of Chaldea under the pretense of hanging out with "Your Friends" Merlin.

26. We understand that Fou is small and has been running in the corner for the last few years, but please don't make Werefou a thing.

27. Fanservice is not needed. We do not need to see Julius shirtless. Though, the slimmed down version was not something I would complain about -Gudako

28. Pretending you are Aqua from Konosuba is not allowed when you gift Blackbeard the ability to take panties.

29. "Arthur stole something" is not the best conversation starter and I will not use it in any further lines unless a Code Blonde level security announcement is needed in the future.

30. Trying to "Persuade" someone to do something is not allowed when the persuader has a rockin body and white hair. Just because you can become female does not mean you can do it -Gudao

31. Please stop annoying Antonio Salieri by turning into him and proclaiming Mozart to be a god.

31a. Stop turning into Master and offering "Services" to female servants.

31b. Don't turn into the director.

32. Just because you know magic, does not mean you should use it.

33. Highschool DXD is not what you should make Arthur watch, nor should you attempt to recreate dress break. Especially to use during combat to distract male/female servants.

34. Ibaraki is not to be teased for supposedly using dye on her hair, she is a natural blonde and should not be teased.

35. Hugging is fun. But please, don't hug Gudao while looking like Kiyohime. Especially when a female servant who is a weebit hostile is watching -Da Vinci

36. Convincing Nero and Elizabeth to hold a concert on the tables in the Dining Room is not appreciated. We may not have proof it was you, but we shall assume none the less -Staff

37. "Holy Hand Grenade" is not another name for "Excalibur", stop caling it as such.

37a. "Arondight" is no longer to be referred to "Sword of Promised NTR", no matter how much Osakabehime wishes to draw it.

37b. "Castle Condom" is not an alternative name for "Lord Camelot".

38. Do not, under any circumstances let Merlin into the Rayshift Room without anyone to see what he does. The last time he took control of it, he changed to location and hid it with a spell. Everyone was sent to that one time he had an orgy with a Queen and her kids.

39. Shouting out that Karna would make a hot female in both the looks and literal departments is not appreciated. Even if it did cause Arjuna to choke on his tea.

40. "You let [Insert Name] do it!" is not an excuse to do something you are banned from doing. Stop trying.

41. I am banned from making any mass produces/weaponized version of the Polygamist Castration Fist, no matter how much we dislike Gilgamesh, it will not be used on him.

41a. Maybe just a little.

42. Yelling out a random swear word is not appreciated whenever you stub your toe near Nursery Rhyme.

43. Quoting erotic novels is not needed. ESPECIALLY ON THE BATTLEFIELD!

44. Merlin is banned from any type of erotic media, if he is found reading or watching, he will be banned from leaving his room for a month and all of his things will be confiscated.

45. I am no longer allowed to hand out Invisibility Cloaks to people who quote Gurren Lagann.

46. "Reverse Swallow" does not mean "I Got Drunk, Time To Throw Up", it never has and never will.

47. Stop renaming Noble Phantasms in the Database, it isn't amusing.

48. Walking up to an American Servant and asking "Hows the Slave Trade?" is not a good way to start a conversation.

49. "Arthur did it" is not longer a viable excuse when everything goes down hill.

50. WHY DO PEOPLE EVEN LISTEN TO YOU!?

51. We understand that you love your Noble Phantasm, but the prana strain is too much. Especially when you summon Fou and proceed to throw him off of the tower mid NP.

51. I am prohibited from bodyswaping Blackbeard with any of the female servants after the Raikou and Abby incident.

51a. "Cosplay" purposes is not a valid reason.

51b. "Bodsplay" sounds ridiculous and not valid too.

51c. NO IT IS NOT A GOOD IDEA TO DO IT WITH GILGAMESH INSTEAD. AGAIN.

52. I will not turn Gilgamesh into a woman and make him taste a gallon of his own medicine.

52a. Nor I will use my "incubus" treasure to discipline him.

54. I shall not summon Freud to help Mo-chan with her daddy issues.

55. Merlin is banned from requesting any form of writing from Shakespeare.

55a. Merlin may not convince servants or Chadlea Staff to request literary works to be commissioned on his behalf to Shakespear, even if the servant in question agrees with the request.

55b. Especially from Kiyohime or Blackbeard

6 & 17! 💜

Thank you for the ask, friend 💜

6. What does "safety" mean to you?

My first thought was "something that doesn't have to do with being close to people", but that is trauma brain talking. It's a hard question. Maybe it's about knowing you have the skills to handle all sorts of situations (or at least the ability to ask for/receive help if you cannot handle it) and also the pillars of having enough daily necessities, being embedded in some sort of social network, and having time to engage in self-care and enrichment.

17. If you have younger parts/alters, what makes them happy or excited?

For some young parts I have no idea. Maybe their action systems do not include any possibility of being happy/content yet... But most parts are younger than me and I can give a short overview for some.

Mae is happy when she is learning new things, especially about survival (training schedules, how to set up camps, how to find your way, martial arts, but also muscle groups and how to treat injuries). She also has a keen interest in cooking and it really helps her relax.

Lucas likes anything that has to do with rules. Lol. Recently he and Mae have been conspiring together in making our life-style even more eco-friendly - she had been so happy about the survival-y nature of using less energy while he was SO happy about the idea of introducing more "rules". 😅

Robin loves it when the house is clean. It makes her feel safe. She also loves to do things together with adult parts. Oh, and her love language is definitely gifts. She gets soooo excited for gifts, I really have to hold her back a lot of the time (and try to balance it more towards happiness about spending time together). Robin also likes animals a lot and enjoys playing. She loves to learn about animals and takes it very seriously. I'm not sure what toy she likes best, but I'm guessing it is Lego. (Sometimes we dream about Lego and then I know it is likely because of her 😅).

Nero likes a bunch of things related to the trauma he carries, but he also loves tea parties. Sometimes we get a specific type of sweets at the store, little cakes with pink glazing and Smarties, and we have a little tea party together. That's about all he can muster outside of his trauma focus, but it's already a big step. And now I'm trying to foster an interest in butterflies. 😉

So yeah, for each part we're working on increasing their orientation to the present and possibly broadening their action systems to include more of a possibility to relax and have fun. It takes a lot of patience and creativity, but I feel like it does help. 💜

dmc5 nero x reader headcanons? either nsfw or sfw is fine!! nero is bratty baby boy!

Thank you for the request! They’re closed now, but I do write headcanon lists and scenarios for two ko-fi donations. If you like what I do, consider supporting me here: https://ko-fi.com/owlespresso  There’s spice beneath the cut! Beware!

sfw;;

Nero is a gentle lover, despite his rowdy personality and at times short temper. He’s devoted, affectionate and hardly ever do arguments that might spark between you both last longer than an hour. 

He likes to spend a lot of time with you, and isn’t a partner who requires much space. In fact, he’d feel quite at home if you decided to cling and cuddle up to him near constantly! Though, he might get a little flustered depending on how eager and unabashed you are.

If you’re someone who likes your space and quiet, he’ll be glad to just spend some silent time in your presence. Simply being in the same room with you is enough.

He’s a clingy cuddler. He presses right up to your side when you’re side-by-side on the couch, leaves not a centimeter of space between you when he’s spooning you. Speaking of spooning, he prefers to be the big spoon, but is happy to acquiesce to your preferences as long as you’re still holding him.

He tries to appear as though he doesn’t explicitly need your touch and attention, a tad of tsundere in him for lack of a better word. Try as he might, he cannot deny the desperate, near magnetic pull he feels in your direction. His hunger for your touch is unmatched, so severe that at times it frightens him.

Enjoys doing domestic things like grocery shopping or cooking with you. It makes him feel at home, but it also ensures him that he’s human. At times, perhaps he feels mild fear for the devil side of him, perhaps he worries that one day it could harm you. But performing domestic duties at your side lets him know that he can control himself, that he is more human than monster.

nsfw;;

Nero is a switch. His preferences change depending on those of his partner. Someone shier and more submissive provokes his carnal appetite to dominate, whilst someone willing to take the reigns prompts him to lay back, allowing himself to be pampered.

He makes a variety of noises, from moans and whines to low growls and snarls. He’s nearly incapable of remaining quiet for too long, so he tries to make sure no one else is nearby during your trysts.

Due to his demonic heritage, Nero goes through a rut every four months or so. They usually last for four months to a week, and during that period of time he receives a noticeable boost to both stamina and sex drive. The instinctual need to breed means he can fuck you several times a day, going for multiple rounds with minimal rest time in between. He can quickly overwhelm you, but he has enough self-control to give you space, give you the time to recover you need.

Chronic hand holder. Mere moments before his climax, he’ll press his hand to yours, lacing your fingers together and giving a fond squeeze. It’s a chaste, yet intimate gesture in comparison to the traditional lewdness of sex. He likes the contrast. He likes the tenderness.

Hunters Journey - 006

Disclaimer: This story was originally posted on my deviantArt. It was part of the #smaugust #challenge in 2020. I wanted to share it here for people who like fantasy/adventure stories. My Tumblr shall make it easy to follow the story, and I hope you like it too. English is not my native language, but I try my best. ♥ Enjoy!

Hunters Journey - 006

The next days were filled with preparations, discussions and several meetings, but Nero didn't attend most of them. Still bound to his walking sticks he fell into some kind of resignation. Vaas had got the bad news shortly after the brawl in the dining hall and since that moment he acted oddly. Understandable, but still something Nero was not used to. Not even a bid. A deep sigh escaped the young man's chest, but there was nothing to do about it. Facing an old enemy who had taken so many lives, lives of friends and fellows, was never an easy task. It never should be.  Walking down the corridors of the great hall, Nero decided it was about time to at least visit his friend, regardless the surrounding chaos. Before entering the sleeping corridors, he took a small detour into the kitchen.

"Hey Ma' Myra." "Ahhh, the great hero honours us with his presence!" The older, corpulent lady laughed brightly, the hands resting on her hips. She was one of the individuals in this guild that never seemed breakable. The most hunters only called her Ma' as if she would be the mother of all of them. Thinking about her kind nature and the things she was doing for each and every one here, the title was well-earned. Nero couldn't hide the big smile he got when she was in the room, and so he entered the gigantic kitchen and slowly walked up to her position. Uncountable cooks and servants were whizzing around, preparing everything for the lunchtime. Myra gave some commands, before she gifted Nero her complete attention.

"What is up with ya' young hero? Why the long face?" "Uff, there is so much going on at the moment Ma'. Vaas will leave at dawn tomorrow and I cannot join the squad and be any kind of help, while he needs to face Taurus. It hurts me...somehow." "Ahh, there ya see ya still a youngstah."  She laughed and clapped his back a bit. Nero rose his eyebrows in confusion, but that only made Myra laugh louder.

"Ya' can still chitchat about ya' feelings and ya' worries. That is something all tha' old grey wolfs lose over the time they hunt." The young man looked somewhat embarrassed, as if she wanted to let him look silly, but even before he could say something in his defence, Myra grabbed both his cheeks with her warm hands.

"Don't make that face! Ya' look like a little puppy who got scolded!" Nero felt how his face turned red, while other cooks and servants watched the scene. Myra took her hands down and placed them on his shoulders. Her voice was calm and serious now.

"Never ever let someone take this away from ya', hunter. The fear shall be your companion, but not your inner enemy. Hunters who don't speak about tha' things they had seen get eaten alive by the demons those thoughts create. And there ain't a chance of a 'maybe create'. It is always tha' same story, with tha' same ol' ending."  Myra watched the room around and Nero saw a small grinning before she rose her hands to the air and started laughing. 

"Ya' all, what ya' looking at, hah?! Ya' think that's something to laugh about?  A WEAKNESS?! All of ya Greenhorns can take an example on this hunter! Wannabe fighters ya' all are. Ya' would sh*t ya' knickers if ya' would need to face the creatures, when they are not in captivity! Am I right, Guston?" She looked over to a cook at the end of the room. He was one of those really arrogant people, but the story of his high-pitched scream at the day when a group of small Rockets escaped their cage was legendary and still part of every festival-evening-story-time. Rockets were small creatures with dog-like behaviour, but the appearance of some weird insect-demon mixture. They probably had confused him with a bunch of bones, considering his own body shape. Nero couldn't avoid it and giggled heartily, while Myra looked extremely satisfied. 

"So what now - ya' want some food now for ol' grumpy Vaassy-baassy, or nat?" As if she could have read his mind, Nero smiled and nodded silently. She waddled around the kitchen table, took a few packs of baked goods and a big flask of the best wine they had. Knowing of his condition, she folded a bag that she could tie around his back and shoulders. Nero felt like in the old time when his grandmother prepared him for the way to his first big hunt. Not being able to erase the smile on his face, he told her a goodbye and left the kitchen, heading to the sleeping quarters. 

After visiting Vaas room and not finding him there, Nero took a turn to the outside. There was only one place Vaas would visit, if he was not in his room and trying to get a nap.  The way was long and the young hunter felt the pain in his legs and the healing wounds, but there was no way he would leave his mentor and friend without a talk and some good food. Even if he would have to walk for the rest of the day, following him all around the guild hall! But gladly there would be no need to do so.

"There you are!" Vaas looked up and a small smile covered the old man's face.

"Don't tell me you walked all the way to meet me here? You could have waited until lunch."

"Yes, yes. I know you would not skip any good meal, but I got the opportunity to let us have lunch without the annoyance of other people in the dining room."

"Oh? Now you woke my interest young man!"  Nero grinned and took a place beside Vaas on a wooden bench. The bench was situated in front of an outside cage, inhabiting the Gemini. A fiery hydra with - actually - five heads.

"How are our friends doing?" he asked and reached Vaas some baked goods Myra gave him.  The old man looked pleased and took a big bite, before he answered. 

"They are doing fine. Seth thinks about keeping Gemini." "Oh?" That are some amazing news." Keeping a creature was a big responsibility and also a big economical risk. 

"Yeah. After we freed Gemini last year from this insane brat of a prince, even Seth seems to have sympathy for the hydra. Unbelievable what this spoiled boy was doing to this creature." Nero nodded. Someone could think that capturing and keeping a hydra in captivity would be insanely dangerous, but only if the lives of the servants you use for the creature matter to you. The prince, called Olevon, was the son of king Pralius and queen Nafita. Last year they had got the message of a concerned hunter, or more precisely a spy, that the boy was about to lose control of the hydra. He was teasing them with fear and pain and tried to starve it, so it would adapt to his wishes ....without resistance. The hydra was really young when they found it and decided to bring it to the guilds headquarter. The creature was wounded and the mother dead, but not killed by hunters. 

"Do you think Seth feels  guilty about his decision to give Gemini to Olevon?" Vaas nodded, chewing some baked goods. 

"Yes. Yes, I do. But I understand his decision. He thought bringing them together while both are young would be a good idea to strengthen their bond. But now Gemini is in its puberty and only made awful experiences so far. We will see how this will go." Nero agreed and his view shifted to a young lady that entered the gigantic cage of Gemini. It was Lauriel, a young huntress and medic. She walked straight to Gemini, waving a hand and calling their names.

"She gave all the heads unique names, huh?" "Yup. And I would say all of them love her." "That's good." Both nodded. 

Gemini was laying in the middle of the area, enjoying the sun on their dark scales. The middle head waved his mane to greet Lauriel, and she laughed. While greeting the oldest one first, the other heads already tried to snuggle her. Big bro was not amused and growled deeply, so the other heads made space, but as always the second-born tried to argue. No chance.  It was a real film to watch them and the reason why Vaas liked to be here so much. Lauriel really had a hand for them. 

Both sat there for a bit longer, watching the hydra getting a mane brush and scale care. So shiny.  "You will come back Vaas, promise it."

"I promise it." "Alive. And in one part." Vaas rose his eyebrows, but he smiled. 

"Promised."
