So there's fighting here too.

[...]

I really shouldn't be surprised by now. I really have bad luck...

[Kaito is hanging around the duck pond tonight, doing some stargazing. ever since the war started the portal to the Demon World blocked out the stars and there really wasn't time once everything was set in motion.

but here he could actually relax somewhat for the night. so Kaito decided to stay a little while longer. who knows? maybe if the mood struck him, he'd sleep outside tonight. it had been fun to do that in the Dead Zone.]

[ooc: open~ and as a note, if your character can sense demonic energy, ect, they'll be able to notice quite a bit coming from Kaito.]

When first I approached, I sensed a great darkness about you. You do your best to conceal it now, but it is apparent in your unguarded moments.

You have little reason to trust me, I know. But I see no reason to speak to others of what I sense. I have also given my word to aid you where I may- a small thing, it may seem to you, especially since you have no memory of it- but the word of the Lady of Lórien is not lightly broken.

[reset-week.livejournal.com]

You're right about the darkness...I can't really be considered human anymore. But are you sure you should give your word to the King of Bel, the one who turned his back on God and human kind?

[inafadingcrown.livejournal.com]

You misunderstand me. My word is already given. Not to the King of Bel, but to Kaito- a human child drawn into a war and plagued by demons.

You have won the war, it seems. But if aught of that human child remains, as I think it might, I am honor bound to stand by what I have said until such a time as your actions or intentions force my hand.

[A moment of hesitation] I will not deny that I also hold some affection for you. Have you read the journal?

[reset-week.livejournal.com]

[you remind him of a little of Amane.]

I did. Why?

[inafadingcrown.livejournal.com]

[Is this a good thing?]

Then you know of our first meeting and of what came to pass afterwards? [Especially Finrod. It would cut down on the amount of explanations she owes.]

[reset-week.livejournal.com]

[somewhat. he still likes her, despite everything.]

You spoke to two of the Bels in my mind...and we had a child together thanks to the castle. [that part's said with some hesitation because the idea is still strange in his mind.]

[inafadingcrown.livejournal.com]

I need explain myself no further, then. [She has to smile a little at his tone, though.] It seems no less strange to my mind, I assure you.

[reset-week.livejournal.com]

[he smiles and laughs.]

It's one of those things I wish I could rememeber about this place.

[inafadingcrown.livejournal.com]

It must be disconcerting- to read of things you have done and said and yet to remember none of it.

[reset-week.livejournal.com]

I don't like that anything in my mind or heart has been tampered with. [there's a note of bitterness in Kaito's voice when he says that.]

[inafadingcrown.livejournal.com]

[She nods, bitterness sneaking into her tone as well, along with a hint of...injured pride, perhaps.]

That I understand well. I, too, resent the intrusion and that any power thinks me akin to a puppet- to be toyed with and cast aside at will.

[reset-week.livejournal.com]

No one should have that power over others....it's not fair.

[inafadingcrown.livejournal.com]

No, it is not. But precious little of this place may be described as "fair" or "just."
