  Amaurot always had so many rules - sophistication and similarity ever at the top of the list. Still, Azem cared little for them - though he followed some there were others he was more forward in ignoring.

  Thankfully behind closed doors it didn’t seem to matter all that much - Azem gladly having tossed aside his plain white mask and thrown down his hood to show his rather different visage from the rest. Hythlodaeus was quite the prankster, yet Azem was equally weird and quite liked the rather expressive, long pointed ears he had since garnered at the hands of his friend’s magics.

  Idly does Azem swing legs from his stool, seated across from Elidibus at the table and humming as he carefully blew bubbles into his iced tea. He grinned over at the other Ancient, playfully twitching those long, strange ears of his.

  “Do have some fun, my friend! ‘Tis the little things, yes?” he suggested on brief pause in his antics, before once more dipping his head to blow more bubbles - only to snort and accidentally spill some of the contents in the abrupt burst of air through the straw. He burst into hearty laughter, eyes twinkling. “Well! Maybe more careful than I.”

  Quietly, Azem regarded Elidibus. He saw the worry and upset in the other man’s face - as well as heard the pride and appreciation showered upon him from his very return. Azem was aware of the risks in ignoring the wishes of the Convocation and oft did he wonder if, one day, he might be censured and kicked from his role for good. It was only a matter of time, right?

  Azem couldn’t allow people to suffer, though. He couldn’t sit back and let nature run its course when he could easily put a stop to a tragedy - and save lives in the process. Though Azem was just a little harmlessly chaotic, he had a strong moral compass and sense of compassion for all. The moment he brought up concerns with the Convocation and his suggestions, he pleading, was rejected he knew what he had to do. His mind was set.

  If his reputation soured and his role was taken from him, so be it. Even now, standing in that ever familiar building before his white-robed friend, he wasn’t afraid of the potential.

  Azem knelt down and smiled softly at Elidibus, his eyes soft as he reached out to place a hand on either of the man’s shoulders. His head tilted gently to the side.

  “Oh, my dear Elidibus. It’ll be okay, for ‘tis not the end of the world if I am censured once more. Though I disagree with the perceived punishment, I will accept it nonetheless. Yet we know not their decision just yet, yes?” As words fell from lips, he pulled the smaller man into a tight, reassuring embrace. “Relax, my friend.”

  After a brief moment did he pull back, a crooked smile spread across lips.

  “It was worth the safety of the grapes, yes? Oh, I did bring some just as well! They will make fine wine, I assure you.”

  His smile dies immediately - uncharacteristic for Azem, and yet perhaps it was only appropriate. He hesitated, head turning as if to glance over his shoulder - frown tugging at his lips and brows furrowing lightly. To say it was okay, everyone knew such a reassurance was wrong. It wasn’t okay, it was far from okay and Azem knew this more than anyone - he had seen what terrors lie beyond the gates of Amaurot. Living nightmares with infinite hunger, only seeming to want destruction and despair - Azem had considered many options in his time outside. Even so, he always had to take up his spear to keep the monsters at bay - and his reports directly to the Convocation were oft dreary and hopeless.

  Still did that sound echo in his ears, drawing his attention despite insistences from the Convocation. No, to go to the source of all the carnage was a mistake, it wouldn’t do anything - and despite this insistence he still lingered upon it.

  “Zodiark won’t cure our problems,” he finally murmured, his eyes still momentarily distant before flicking down to meet Elidibus’ gaze. There was concern - and fear. Azem rarely feared things, he walked into danger as if it were naught more than a simple mishap. This, though, this was different; no matter how much he put a smile on for his friends he knew they could see through it. Even Hyth had grown grave in his wake. “I will not be participating in the summoning. I will not sacrifice our people, I will not sacrifice you or the other Convocation members. I refuse to sit by, either - do not take this as a betrayal, my dear Elidibus. I will find the source, and put an end to it one way or another. We will have peace without this ritual, I promise.”

  He took a step back from the other man, a deep sadness reflected in bright green eyes.

  “So long as I still stand, this world will not perish.”

  Without another word, he pulled his hood back over his head and turned, walking out of the door. His own sense of hope was but a sliver, but so long as it still existed he knew he’d never stop trying.

  “Oh, my friend, a sound request!” Azem announced with a wide smile and hearty chuckle. Smoothly did he walk to sit down upon a sofa, patting the seat next to him for the smaller Amaurotine to join him.

  “So... my sincere thoughts, hmm? Well for starters, I consider you one of my dearest friends. Though I am quite lax in my own duties, I admire how punctual and dedicated you are in yours. Though, I must say you do need some time to enjoy yourself - and ‘tis why I try to pull you away from your work now and then. You deserve to see the world, to enjoy your time without paperwork - though I know you do insist upon paperwork being fun in itself. I’m glad you can find joy in the work, given you have so much, buuuut I will still be dragging you away every now and then, aye?” he went on, playfully poking Elidibus’ nose. He laughed, leaning against the smaller man.   “I love your company, Elidibus. I’m so very glad the Convocation chose you to join us as our Emissary, no other could better fit the job - plus I got to meet you! May we make many, many good memories in our future.”

Ancient AU

//Under read more for length, will likely add onto this as more things hit me (:

His real name is Eros, though very few know this fact - only family and close friends know of his real name. If he tells you his name, it means he considers you trustworthy and a dear friend.

He has 2 siblings (who happened to be the twins Post-Sundering).

He has large pointed elezen ears - all because of a prank Hythlodaeus played on him. Fortunately for Azem (and unfortunately for the Convocation and Hyth) Azem is odd and quite liked the new ears thanks to Hyth’s creation magic. He’s kept them ever since.

Azem has a sweet tooth - he has a real love for milkshakes and ice cream.

Azem is absolutely reckless and has no sense of self preservation - but he is careful with others. He will protect you at all costs, but when it comes to himself... he takes a lot of dumb risks. For fun, of course-

He’s cheerful and happy in general, loves to support other people in their dreams and endeavours and is more than happy to make new friends.

He likes to collect pretty rocks, gems and crystals - and will give them as gifts as well! He likes to find special rocks for people in new places to show how much effort he is willing to put into that relationship.

He hates being cooped up, and is more often seen outside than ever at home. If he’s in Amaurot, he’s usually still outside. He likes to sleep outside and watch the stars, and is likely to drag friends camping to show them how beautiful the night sky is.

Azem loves to travel, but also still has strong romantic tendencies - and does want to find a partner. Its a bit difficult to do, though, because he moves about so much and there aren’t many who wish to be outside as long as he does.

His love of travel goes hand-in-hand with his love of nature. Flora and fauna both are greatly admired by this ancient, if you ever wish to know where a beautiful sight is Azem is who you should ask.

He LOVES to be Extra(tm) for Convocation meetings - in person or via hologram. He gets away with it better over hologram calls since he’s able to dress up however he likes outside of Amaurot, but if he must be physically present he’ll still find a way.

Azem is slow to anger, but if you do manage to he’s certainly not a force to be reckoned with. There’s a reason he can travel abroad alone without fear for his own safety (though what exact form of combat he can do I haven’t yet decided).

Azem, Eros, is extremely full of love for all the people in his life and is very open to affection - from light idle touches to arms and shoulders to full on hugs, pats on the back, lifting people up, platonic kisses and even cuddles. This aspect translates into his Sundered form evidently.

  The response is far from what Azem wished for - he knew Emet to occasionally be a little grumpy now and then but the tone used admittedly bothered the ancient. He pouted briefly, but sat up and hopped off the desk regardless. An uncommon frown tugs at the Traveler’s lips.

  “Can you not spare your friend the time? You know I must needs leave in the coming days once more,” he replied, ears drooping as he spoke. He was oft gone for long spans, and while calls were possible - even sometimes the only way he could partake in meetings with the Convocation - it wasn’t the same as actually spending time with his friends.

Finally took a cap of Azem/Eros! His fringe is lavender, basically a bit of purple added to his design. Also yes, he does have the long elezen ears still! They weren’t always like this, but ya know. Creation magic, pranks from a friend, yada yada - I have a headcanon for it lmao!
