[ caelus is taking a break from cleaning up the barn to make it more hospitable to that crew, instead heading to the house to see about using that bathroom and if it will do anything for the markings on his skin.
such as the clear receptacle on his neck or Mister and Stellaron on his left and right forearms respectively.
[ sweet robin, surrounded by horrible men and now only one, the most brainless and baby, remains. the beautiful, brain-having ones? gone. gone forever. ]
I want to move out of the barn.
[ a breath ]
But I can't leave Nina like that.
[ he suspects miss ishtar and izutsumi would be unaffected (positive) if he moved out. ]
[ and he takes it without question. anything to get away from the heaviness that has fallen around where execution took place. with his other hand, caelus props his bat against his shoulder. ]
[ caelus picks up the pace when he sees miss robin outside of their newly acquired gas station. he's been around the back already, checking out the garbage situation. there are treasures everywhere for those who have eyes to see them.
but before he can speak, they're whisked away to a memory from a time before the astral express went to penacony.
it might be a trip, following along as caelus races and climbs and leaps upon that ancient machine. time and again, he's about to lose his grip or fail to make a landing, but one of his companions has his back. so, he can't fail them.
he doesn't know why he's able to follow his own will and not the voice of the stellaron inside him. it's not fair that cocolia couldn't ward off its false promises, that she now battles on behalf of the end of her world.
she kills him. tries to, anyway. awakens, instead, a sense of preservation. caelus' end has been foretold. this isn't it.
this concludes in a daughter losing her mother, a feeling caelus will never quite understand. it hurts, anyway. bronya doesn't deserve to suffer.
and when they return to scawwy, the present, their individual minds and memories, caelus burns inside. he opens and closes his fists. ]
[ robin has had her own experience with stellarons, too many, and she knows the nameless' trailblazing take them to stellarons to contain them, but it never hurts less to see the tragedy a stellaron can cause.
how many aeons will cast their gazes his way, she wonders? xipe, she knows. qlipoth, here. ]
... Hello, Caelus. You've had to witness much loss, haven't you?
[ how about ZERO REPEATS of friday's side rooms adventure?
was caelus trying not to be overbearing and give robin space to breathe before, sure. but that was before he was full of new, unwarranted confidence that he is the hero who can protect everyone. that's okay, right?
for now, they're in the academy, so he might have a slight point in that there are all these traps. ]
[ would robin, could robin go hang at the new spooky amusement park? it's of more interest to caelus than the ita bag shop or that food place that definitely isn't a car place.
he'll even grab them both a cone of the mostly good cotton candy. ]
week0 monday;
such as the clear receptacle on his neck or Mister and Stellaron on his left and right forearms respectively.
distracted instantly when he sees: ]
Miss Robin! Hey.
no subject
the word brother can be read where one of her gloves give way to skin. ]
Hello. Are you more situated after yesterday?
[ not that yesterday was good for making anyone feel settled, but you know. ]
no subject
I'm not sure about that. It's going to be a rowdy bunch. You might have to come rescue me.
[ as if caelus, himself, could not be called rowdy ]

But I can't leave Nina like that.

no subject
I understand. Their presence will remain, one way or another. If it becomes too heavy, you need not linger long in there.
You can try seeing if you could sleep in other buildings every other night, at least.
[ even if the barn plaque won't change. ]

I'm sorry. I couldn't get through the veil.
