“Look, Mana! I made you a flower crown!” 

He had found a bunch of flowers, and spent his time carefully weaving them into the crown he held in his hands. Mana is adorable, and he liked her, so he does hope that she liked his little gift. 

“Is it okay if I put it on you...?”

“... Oh! You’re... Fon Master Ion, right? It’s an honor to meet you!” 

Etude smiled brightly, playing the part of an oblivious child not realizing that the person before him looked exactly like him. With the difference of hair length and clothing, that is. He’s not that much of a fool, but it’s only beneficial to act otherwise.

“Ah, I didn’t expect to be able to see you so soon, I only just arrived here yesterday...” He fidgeted, looking away in a nervous manner, before his eyes widened. “Oh no, I completely forgot to introduce myself...! Um, I’m Etude...!”

“Aren’t these flowers cute?” 

Carefully, he checked on how well the oleander were growing. These particular flowers were a lovely shade of unblemished white, and a smile grew as he examined the undamaged leaves. How nice, though he hasn’t yet decided if he’ll add these particular ones to the back of his shop. 

“If you want, you can take a pot home as a present.”

“Are you going to?” Fingers idly plucked the strings of the lyre on their lap, letting the notes drift in the air. It’s a little boring to them, but... their plants are all cared for, and they have little interest in much else for the moment. “I’d ask how I can help, but you still have things to do, don’t you?” 

And so... “What do you want to do before you leave? I can’t imagine that listening to music is all that interesting to you...”

Adrius is going to watch for a moment before he slowly reaches out to hug Etude. His face is slightly red... "... Would you like to take a nap?" It'd be nice and warm...

He blinks at the hug, looking up from his book. Hm? Adrius’s face keeps to be a bit red... could it be...? Or maybe he was jumping to conclusions. He could test it out...?

A pause, before he relaxes, head resting against the other. Subtly trying to check for any reactions. “A nap... maybe...! Are you feeling tired?”

“But you didn’t, not at all.” He placed each word down carefully, gently, like pieces on a chess board. Eyes wide, open and confused; voice soft, to be as nonthreatening as possible; hands slowly reaching out to hold the other’s, to convey comfort through touch and warmth. A simple, routine song and dance. 

“It’s fine, really. Mistakes happen. I can always help you make new ones, okay?” A soft, reassuring smile, very carefully not looking at the charcoal that was supposed to be cookies. 

How adorable.

“Unless... there’s something else you’re worried about?”

“Oh, you’re awake. How are you feeling?” The blond wasn’t having a fever when he last checked, at least. “I found you collapsed in the forest. You didn’t get a concussion or anything, right?”

“I just made some soup, so if you’re hungry, you should have some. You’ve been asleep for a while.”

“Wow, your hair’s so pretty...” He hadn’t seen that shade of red before during his travels. It’s almost like fire... “Oh, right! This is... Baticul’s port, right?”

“Wow, so this is Daath... it’s so big...” Traveling the land had given him a lot of new sights. He even rode a boat and saw the sea for the first time! But the cathedral really was something else... the travel brochure of Daath didn’t do it justice. 

All his attention focused on the large building in the distance, that he didn’t look at where he was going and smacked right into someone. “Oh, sorry! Are you okay?”

Etude has now been added to the muse list! Please note that while I use Ion icons since that’s the closest fc for Etude, he actually probably has the longest hair out of all the Ion replicas. It goes down to his back. 

And with his addition to the manor, the Miracle Clinic is now available! You can find it on the Manor’s about page, but it’s full of medicine to anyone who needs some.

“Uh... Florian? No, I’m Etude, miss. Have we met before...?” He didn’t remember seeing her...

“Ehh? But...” 

He frowned, looking down at the ground as he rocked on his heels. Etude hadn’t been expected to be approached by someone... if he knew his news right, this was one of the God Generals, though the person’s actual name... nah, he didn’t remember that at all. 

But hm... this person had green hair just like he did. That was something he hadn’t seen on anyone else. Must be a coincidence or something. 

“I’m Etude, a farmer. Well, right now I’m a tourist, so... anything else you need to know, sir?”

Also:

He doesn't like the concept of anyone being idolized, because he's sure that the person being idolized can't possibly be perfect. After all, after Castor took him in and taught him what he could, including morals, Etude really believed that Castor was just really nice like that and didn't question why he knew so many specifics about poisons.

Well, not until he let slip about the bandits that held him for a failed ransom, and then he got an up close and uncomfortably personal lesson about what some poisons does to the human body. That pretty much effectively shattered his previously perfect image of Castor. Part of why he left after two years, tbh.

Castor is just an npc but he's probs also observant enough to see how Etude idolizes him, and made that a lesson mixed with trauma oops lmao but at least he got his point across or something

In Etude’s main verse, he’s not at all aware that he’s a replica. Probably doesn’t really know what a replica even is, since that’s not really something that concerns his choice in lifestyle. He does know a lot about plants, though, and how to make an excellent veggie soup.

In contrast to his modern au, where he absolutely knows who Sync and Ion and his other siblings are (tho not sure about the other way around since he did run away at a very young age and all. Like probably 5-6 years old so Sync n Ion would be younger than that. Who even remembers stuff at >5 years old not me). Kinda why he tries to avoid them, but he knows Sync the best even if he may or may not have met Sync again bc Sakura’s Etude’s adoptive mom and also the school nurse so she has plenty of stories to tell about Sync aka the kid who keeps coming into the nurse’s office because he got into fights again.
