[Lucciola's Heart]
[As you step through Castling's mirror, you end up in a large, bright and blinding white space. It's so bright that it's difficult to see anything the first few moments. Your eyes will probably hurt a lot.]

Re: GUILD
And he'll get there. Or do you think he's so weak that he requires help for something that simple? I said leave.
[ There's something small, instinctive in the back of his mind that is almost scared, but this isn't real. It's Lucciola's heart. They're not going to run and tell your sister and nothing horrible is going to happen. And even if it does, it's not real so you can actually make a difference in here, because you have to help him. ]
Re: GUILD
... As you wish, Lord Dio.
[and then they leave. all the while this conversation has been going on, Lucciola's been trying to gather himself enough to not lean on you. not show any weakness in front of them or in front of you while they see]
Re: GUILD
Tch.
[ Lets himself defuse before turning his attention back to Lucciola, expression going soft and concerned again. ]
Hey, hey-- what did I just say?
[ Reaching back out to try and support him again. ]
Re: GUILD
Why do you—? You are not required to do this, Lord Dio. It is below your dignity. I should get back...
Re: GUILD
Nothing about you is below my dignity. I'm doing this because I want to, because I care about you, and because I don't want you to feel like you can't lean on anybody for things like ... like this.
[ His voice cracks a little at the end there, as he motions to Lucciola's person. ]
Re: GUILD
I will be fine.
Re: GUILD
If that were true, this sort of place wouldn't be so full of terror and hesitance to let anybody in.
I know you're not weak, Lucciola, but I know that you try to act too strong sometimes, too. And ... I know that you always had to, that you had no other choice. But ... in here ... if it hurts, don't just keep it locked away. That's not really being 'fine'. And even if people are fine later ... that doesn't mean they don't need or deserve support getting there.
Re: GUILD
Lord Dio...
Re: GUILD
And like I said outside, even these parts of you ... I want to see. I want you to be happy and feel like you can smile, but, I want to know when you're in pain, too.
Re: GUILD
Aah... Thank you...
Re: GUILD
So don't let yourself suffer alone. I'm not the only person who wants to support you, either.
... let's get out of here, so you can rest.
Re: GUILD
Yes.
Re: GUILD
Turning, keeping this Lucciola up while he drops his other hand on the tiny's head. ]
Both of you.
Re: GUILD
adult Castling tries to take most of the weight of walking on his own, but lets himself lean enough on Rook so that he can actually move at all]
Re: GUILD
Smiling down at the small one first, before he shares it with the big one, slowly heading back toward the door. ]
Do either of you have an idea of which way to go? I'm looking for things along the way, too.
Re: GUILD
What are you looking for?
Re: GUILD
Re: GUILD
[yeah this is the guild, 'course it's dangerous]
Re: GUILD
Something that isn't normally here, I mean. That's hurting ... all parts of you in here.
[ Heading back into the corridor and glancing down in the other directions they haven't gone yet. ]
Which way should we go, so you can rest?
Re: GUILD
[looks thoughtful for a second and then as if realization just hitting him as if he's figured all of this has been real all this time]
Ah... this is... not that place...
[meanwhile, the tiny tugs at your hand:]
This way, Lord Dio.
Re: GUILD
[ Sending a look at the other Lucci to make sure he's okay with it, before letting the small one lead.
Lead us, tinybf. ]
Re: GUILD
the tiny leads you to what you probably recognize as sort of medical room. it's empty for the time being]
We need to find supplies.
[THIS IS REGULAR PROCEDURE it's a little sad how much of a routine this seems to be for him]
Re: GUILD
Here. Rest a little bit.
[ And once he makes sure he's sitting and NOT TRYING TO MOVE ANY MORE!! He goes to assist the other. ]
Re: GUILD
the tiny ... seems to know exactly where everything necessary is kept. gauze, medical solutions, etc. he gathers them up in a neat little pile on a table]
We cannot stay here.
Re: GUILD
[ Or rather, somewhere where they can maybe stay, especially older Lucci. ]
