Poison for the dragon ask game :)

Hello!! Thanks for the ask! Ask game is here.

Poison: share a snippet that’s all about relationships (good or bad).

Have some Zephyr Kas and Madge hehe. Under the cut as always

“Zee-zee was late for lessons.” Madge pipes up, and adds: “Kas got worried.”

Zephyr whirls in shock to stare at Kas. “You were?”

“I – I wasn’t –” Kas sputters, his skin turning the color of ripe tomatoes. “Auntie asked us to check on you!” he protests, but too late, there’s already a grin spreading across Zephyr’s face.

“You were!” Zephyr crows with delight, pointing. “You were worried –” he turns to Madge, wiping away a fake tear – “look, he actually cares, I’m so touched I could cry!” Madge just nods along. Isn’t it obvious?

“Was not!” Kas snaps, shoving past them to stomp back towards the main road.

Zephyr sprints after him, calling out: “You so were!”

“Not!”

“Were!”

“Shut up!”

“Kas Zayin cares about me!” Zephyr shouts to the sky, hands cupped around his mouth. He just barely manages to dodge a swipe from Kas, clutching his stomach all the while, bent over double from how hard he’s wheezing.

Madge stares at the two of them charging down the road, slip sliding in the half-frozen dirt, Kas chasing after Zephyr, and sighs, fisting her hands on her hips. “Honestly,” she mutters, shaking her head.

Her big brothers can be so silly sometimes.

As the grey clouds overhead part to let sunlight slice through – it seems it won’t be raining after all – she hurries after them with a call of “Wait up!”, cold hands shoved in her coat pockets, Zephyr’s gleeful laughter echoing through the midmorning air.

If you're still doing the ask game, how about this: AU where the higher ups of W.I.S.E was behind Anya getting experimented on?

Oh they're so dead when Anya's parents find out...

1- as you might have heard, W.I.S.E. is a bit understaffed at the moment, so once again Agent Twilight is called in for another task he probably shouldn't be doing. He definitely shouldn't be doing, actually, because cleaning out the documentation of the missions is half intern work and half only-the-top-brass work, and he is neither. Yet, there he is, pulling files and folders and stacking them up to shred and burn.

2- Agent Twilight would never look in the files he isn't supposed to. He more than understands the idea of what people don't need to know. However, he is allowed to take some folders related to his mission, and as he's reading through, memorizing as he goes, another agent who probably shouldn't be cleaning out the room bumps into him and knocks some files to the ground. Agent Twilight shoes them away and picks it up without intending to read- until he sees the picture of a tiny girl with pink hair, labeled "Anastasia" with a red "defunct" stamp covering the middle of her name

3- Agent Twilight is aware of the cameras on him, and that he is not allowed to read those files, and that whoever he takes them to who checks them off and shreds them won't either. He puts the documents back in a file and keeps moving. When he hands his stack over to be destroyed, the documents on his mission he already memorized were switched with the others, and no one notices anything. He continues to read the files on Ania and then other experiments (Belladonna, Clausa, Daniella, etc), and he destroys the documents as soon as they're memorized. His head is a whirl of thoughts, thinking how Anya is, apparently, supposed to be able to read minds, but his the little girl can't do that, surely, it's impossible, the experiments must have failed, but what did they do to her to try to change her, is this why she sees so flighty and behind her age of six, did they hurt her- he only started doing this for more information, for better lives for children than he had, but his own team that he gave his loyalty to have been using children, hurting children-

He walks through the door of the house and Anya says "Papa's home! Papa, today Anya- Papa? Are you ok? Anya's ok, no one hurt me, what's wrong?"

4- Yor looks up and frowns too, because Loid's expression is not a good one as her fake but also real husband realizes that his fake real daughter can, in fact, actually read minds. Anya's eyes go wide because she's been caught and she quickly tugs him by the arm back out of the apartment, calling that she's going to cheer Papa up by showing him the leaves outside and Mama should stay there and wait. Then, Anya asks if he's going to send her back because she can read minds, or because she knows about the mission, panic growing as Loid tries to calm her, wondering how W.I.S.E could have done this to her, he was willing to use a child in a mission but not like this, not discard her after - but Anya has already caught on that detail. "Papa's boss worked with Anya when I was a baby?" She asks, and the hysterics are gone. Instead, she's excited. "So I can keep working on the mission? Can I work more, with Papa? Like at the castle?"

Loid stares at her. That was not the reaction he was expecting. "No, you can't. I... Am going to make dinner." And for the rest of the night, his thoughts are too confusing for Anya to read.

5- so, eventually, Anya decides she must go to her mother too. She slips into Yor's room as she's getting ready for bed. "Mama? Anya has to tell you something secret." She tells Yor that Loid just found out that her first mama, his first wife, was tested on while pregnant and Anya can read minds. Then she proves this by saying she knows about the Thorn Princess thing, but never told Papa because she's good at keeping secrets. But, her parents should probably talk about it. Anya goes to bed convinced she's just brought the world closer to peace and that Yor will inadvertently encourage Loid to let her help on more missions.

(In the next hour, Loid and Yor manage to both tell more truths and more lies than they have of either in the entire marriage before that. Yor is convinced that her husband is going to try to figure out the doctors that did this to his wife with his own connections (psychologist, after all!) and deal with it privately, though at that point Thorn Princess might have to secretly take care of that for him, while Loid is convinced that Yor will be able to take care of Anya if he gets discovered 'pruning' W.I.S.E's upper roles and doing what he can to get agents he's sure won't do human experiments at the top instead, because Agent Twilight doesn't want to threaten peace but he can't abide by this in it's stead. Both parents remain unaware that their dog can see the future.)
