i just want to see the light;

Characters: Fou-Lu and OPEN (except for one closed thread with Mami).
Setting: Ruins of Floor 13, floor 4.
Time: Morning for 13, afternoon for 4.
Format: I'll follow you.
Summary: Troubled by the recent events, Fou-Lu tries to find some peace. He also decides he needs to have a more or less honest talk with Mami.
Warnings: Godangst, Olde English


[Floor 13]

[It was only fitting that he would find himself drawn here again. Even through the wreckage, he could sense that this was a calming place. It was not a temple made for the Endless, but it was made for a similar purpose, and so he can appreciate it - at least a little.]

[Carefully, he starts to move some of the rubble to one side. Perhaps he'll break it all apart into manageable pieces later, but for now someone heading to that floor will find a slim man moving large pieces of stone.]



[Floor 4]

[Clouds. That's all they can see out here. Fou-Lu presses a hand to the glass once more, before turning away. He wants freedom, and yet this place traps him as if he is a common beast. It offends his dignity as an Endless. He is not meant to be trapped and controlled. He is meant to lead and cultivate.]

[… Or he was. Now the mortals simply seem to desire destruction - destruction by his hand, which he will achieve as soon as his other half returns to him.]

[The mortals here, though… perhaps they are different.]

[He turns back to the window to stare.]



[Private for Mami]

[Fou-Lu waits for the farmer at the edge of the fourth floor, watching for her arrival. He had asked her earlier in the day to join him here at this time, but he is strangely nervous about it.]

[She is the one mortal he cares about. What if she rejects him because of what he is? He does not want her to fear him… at least, not like he wants the others to fear him. Respect, yes, but not fear.]

[But she has to know in this place, lest she find out in a more… unpleasant manner.]

[Endless, Endless...she knows she's heard that somewhere before, a-

Oh. ... Oh.] By tha' ye mean ye're a...dragon?

[She seems more curious than distressed, really. Okay, she is a bit nervous because hey, dragons are supposed to be really powerful, but - this is still Ryong.]

[...Okay what. What. The First Empero--- WHAT. This is Mami's brain trying to comprehend this, failing, and shutting down halfway. The person she saved is the First Emperor she was living with the First Emperor she is talking to the First Emperor aaaaaa-

...She tilts her head slightly, trying to think...something. This isn't the Empire, but there's no reason not to be respectful - but she doesn't know how to do that correctly, she's just a farmer!]

...Ah'm sorry...but Ah dunna' know how ter...t' otherwise...

[Words, what are they.]

[what is it with me and playing tiny characters]

[Mami looks surprised for a moment before smiling again. Of course - Ryong is still Ryong, in the end. It's strange to know this, but...he's still himself. And really, this doesn't change anything - it just sheds a new light on things.]

Aye, an' Ah'm grateful ye tol' me, Ryong.
