At the feast

[notagiraffe]

Characters: Taiki and anyone
Setting: Cafeteria, on the 18th during the feast
Format: Whatever you wish
Summary: Taiki is very ill and spends most the feast curled up under a table. Also it is his birthday but he's lost track of time :(
Warnings:

Taiki had already been unconscious before the monsters were taken care of and everyone passed out. He half woke to the announcement about refreshments. He half sat up from where he was laid, under a table; when he had gotten too week to walk around helping he had tried to get as far out of the way as possible and figured he couldn't trip anyone up under a table.

He was hungry, but he also felt sick. He thought he was probably going to pass out again, but he was really worried about Gyousou, he peered through the sea of peoples legs. He couldn't see Gyousou and he whimpered trying to move.

The blood sickness was too much though, he couldn't move he was too dizzy. He pulled his cloak further around him and curled back up crying softly.

Taiki curled up at his kings side, feeling altogether happier now Gyousou was here though the sickness hadn't abated any. He smiled and turned to look for Gohran, willing him into his puppy form so he could curl up on Taiki's other side. "I'm glad." The way Taiki saw it Gohran was as much Gyousou's as he was his and the king had needed protection more than Taiki.

He ate the fruit, almost too tired to chew it. "I didn't want anyone to be hurt..."

Gohran's small tail thumped against his arm, the creature playing its part of harmless pet perfectly. The demon's small form always reminded Gyousou of Taiki - unassuming, yet capable of terrible power. Like kirin, like shirei, it seemed. And with his new magic, the kirin was only becoming more powerful. Not, he corrected himself, that it much mattered in a place such as this. A kirin did not belong here, power or no.

"An admirable sentiment." He held out a mug of water next.

"But they were..." People had even died and near the end Taiki had been too sick to help anyone, tears filled his eyes and he buried his face in Gyousou's arm ignoring the water. The tiredness and sickness was making him feel worse about everything that had happened.

"You are not a deity," he pointed out, needlessly, "Your power, whilst considerable, is limited. I am sure you did what you could." His expression darkened, above Taiki's half-hidden form. "No one could reasonably expect any more."

His frustration at being unable to find a way to remove the taint from Taiki's surroundings was only growing.

"Sorry..." Taiki pressed his face deeper into Gyousou's side, fearing the king was angry at him, thinking he should withdraw a little so not to be annoying and yet not wanting to leave the safety and hopefulness that came with being at Gyousou's side.

He whimpered softly as another wave of dizziness washed over him.
