Warnings: mild disordered eating

Only a few hours into the night, Kit woke up hungry. 

He had noticed that humans ate less than fae, but he’d gotten used to nothing at all. He thought he could manage on a light diet, but Kit had not seen luck for over a year.

He got out of bed, picking up his discarded clothes. 

Mistress had said he could eat when he needed to, and Kit’s stomach felt empty and demanding. 

He didn’t want to wake anyone. Kit was lower than a servant; he had no right to ask anything of the staff. And they might talk.

Kit stepped out into the hall.

Sir Maxus and a lady knight stood outside Iris’s door, dressed in leather armor.

“Where’re you going?” asked Maxus.

Kit hesitated. “The kitchen,” he admitted.

“I’ll walk you over.”

The silence was uneasy and awkward. 

Kit at least knew that Brennan: 

1. Didn’t trust or like him

And

2. Was very loyal to Iris

He didn’t know anything about Maxus, who was only behind Brennan in how often he was assigned to the queen.

“So…” said Maxus, “do fae have knights too?”

“I suppose. It’s not exactly the same duties, but the Prince has knights.”

“Prince? No king or queen?”

Kit shrugged. “Not for a long time.”

“Oh.” 

The torches on the wall sconces danced, casting warm light out into the hall. The castle was quiet and still, and Kit looked out the windows to see the stars.

The kitchen was just as silent, and Maxus leaned against a counter, watching.

Kit rifled through the storage. He found a cut of meat, wrapped up and fresh, and it made his mouth water. It was just one of many similar cuts, and they wouldn’t miss it, right?

There were berries in a jar, and the best find was a covered pitcher of heavy cream chilled in the dairy.

Kit poured some cream into a ceramic cup before putting the pitcher back. 

He didn’t bother with cooking, or finding cutlery, instead tearing off strips of meat and eating it raw.

He savored each bite. If he closed his eyes, he could imagine that he was eating after a hunt, in peace. At home.

But Maxus’s presence ruined the illusion. 

Kit shook out the berries into the palm of his hand, and he ate the whole pint.

He slowly sipped at the cream, until it was gone.

Kit wiped the juices of the meat off the marble counter, and washed the cup and jar as best as he could.

Maxus walked him back to the royal wing without comment.

___________________

Iris didn’t say anything in the morning. He half expected Sir Brennan to confront him, but it seemed Maxus didn’t report his midnight meal.

Kit decided not to mention it to his Mistress. She had given him permission to eat, after all. Plus, Iris was so busy with other things and thoughts; she didn’t need more to worry about. 

Especially something unusual that could cause gossip.

___________________

The next night, he woke up hungry again.

Maybe it was a good sign that his appetite was returning in full swing. He didn’t even get dizzy in the kitchen the night before.

Maxus and the lady knight were stationed in the hall again.

Sir Maxus walked Kit to the kitchen.

“Aren’t you eating enough during the day?” he asked as Kit tucked into a loaf of bread, cheese, and more delicious cream.

Kit put down the cup. 

“I- I mean, I’m not judging or anything, I’m just wondering. You look really hungry.”

Kit looked away, fidgeting.

“Is the appetite a fae thing?” Maxus asked gently. “You guys eat more than we do?”

Kit nodded, his ears turning pink. He didn’t want to say it out loud. He was a foreigner, and even though mortals were just as strange to him as he was to them, it was unwise to draw attention.

He was at their mercy, after all. He was a slave.

“Maybe you should talk to Christine? To get bigger portions or something?”

Kit shook his head. He knew Iris’s aunt already judged him for declining wine, and someone had put salt in his food. Either on purpose, or an accident, it didn’t matter. Mortals just did food differently, and he was the outlier. 

He imagined the looks he’d get if his plate had twice the amount of the people sitting next to him.

“It would embarrass my Mistress,” he whispered, unwilling to break the serene quiet of the kitchen.

“If you say so,” said Maxus, unconvinced. “Still, just… write Chef a note or something, so she doesn’t wonder about the missing stuff.”

Kit nodded. “Yes, sir.” He could do that.

They walked back after Kit cleaned up, in silence.

___________________

“You’re looking better,” commented Iris the next morning.

“Hm?”

She gestured to his face as she ate her toast.

“You have some color in your cheeks. That’s good, right?”

“Oh. Yes.”

He did feel better. It was small, almost unnoticeable, but he didn’t feel so bad when he got up in the morning. Magic was still out of reach, but it would surely come soon.

Kit picked at the crumbs on his plate. He eyed the small pitcher of cream that came with the coffee pot on the breakfast cart.

Mistress left to do her makeup, and Kit waited until she was out of the room to drink it down.

He snuck a spoonful of sugar, the only thing better than cream, and a thought hit him.

He was keeping secrets, wasn’t he?

Even if it was just the hunger in his belly, it was something he was keeping from Iris.

The deal demanded loyalty. Painfully vague.

What was loyalty to the deal? Could he even stay quiet about this? Would the deal’s magic force him to reveal it?

He wished he was in the position to negotiate when he accepted the terms.

“Ready to go?” asked Mistress.

Kit nodded. 

There wasn’t a painful jolt of magic, or a strong compulsion to blurt out his secret, but a warning pricked at the back of his mind.

The deal’s magic had decided it wasn’t betrayal. Probably because he had permission to eat, and Iris hadn’t told him to tell her when he ate.

Still. He was on thin ice.

Kit bit his lip as they passed the royal portraits on the wall.

Maybe he’d tell her. Eventually.

My highly specific niche of characters I’m always drawn to are members of a team who fuse together to form a larger combiner, and are often neglected as individuals in favor of skipping ahead for the big gestalt. Usually, these are plastic toys, and their presence in-story as themselves is blink-and-you’ll-miss-it. 

I think it’s interesting seeing how components are often designed around their function in the larger combiner, and how they manage to individualize it to their own liking. It feels more rewarding to get to know and appreciate each part, and how they assemble together as a team, before they finally assemble as a greater gestalt. I guess I’m a sucker for those kinds of meta underdogs, y’know?

#ramblings #Some examples would be any incarnations of the Constructicons esp for the Bayverse who are the most distinct roster yet also the most #neglected but understandably so... I'm also getting invested into Maxus Helios' other components once again

What do you think of Bakugan Battle Planet

It's physical game is a miracle compared to the original... if only the cards weren't a pain to get, and I lived anywhere that would have people to play against. Curse living in a non tourist trap surrounded by tourist traps...

I haven't watched much of it, admittedly. There's a single episode I can sit through without wanting to do something else (that is down to voice acting direction, mostly. Dan's voice sounds.. off in a way that's hard to describe.)

Under cut. This got longer than I thought it would.

I don't mind the idea of a reboot, but I do mind false advertising in terms of character. Drago is pretty much identical, voice and all, Dan's a little more childish (to be expected, since he got put back to 12 years old or so, like during Battle Brawlers), but... I can't really forgive our other returnee.

And it really is the name - if Shun Kazami had a completely different name, I guarantee there wouldn't have been nearly as many complaints. It means Fast and Wind-watching. It's absolutely not aquos, and it's barely still ventus, given that they changed it. Ventus' name is inaccurate, even!!

I understand bringing back a fan favourite to give nostalgia to older fans, and maybe give incentive to younger fans to check out the original, but the difference between the two Shun's is painful, at least to me. One is a trained ninja and loner, who is sometimes too confident in himself and has difficulties admitting when he's wrong, and the other is a smart kid who really just wanted some friends, and so he flew to a different country just to meet them.

While it isn't exactly Battle Planet, in that it's Armored Alliance, I did play the Switch game. It's shoddy, to put it shortly. At the very least the economy joke kid feels exactly like a kid (they absorb way more than you think they do, whether they understand what they've absorbed or not). And I know it's not directly story related, but I do like that you get a centipoid from a flower. That one was cute.

Leonidas, though, was a joke, and had nothing to be strong against because he was the only Aurelus bakugan, and was weak to every other attribute (not to mention how weak he is when you fight him. For sake of example, I played mono darkus with focus on Sacrifice effects. Barbetra, my darling front liner, died to sacrifice long before the opponent could kill her.)

My whole team was diamond; Leonidas had evolved only one stage. It was nearly the end of the game.

I was also under the impression, probably mistakenly, that because Leonidas would return in the reboot's own game, that maybe we'd get them immediate-- oh no you get one of the main characters' partner bakugan. (Granted, Leo's later appearance made sense due to story, but I did forget about Leonidas, until the reactors. Sorry Leonidas.)

#bakugan #bakugan battle planet #i do have some reboot bakugan. but the one bakugan I want I can't find because they were armored alliance #which was 2nd out of 4 seasons #darkus barbetra my beloved #i do want to get a nanogan at some point. they're cute in a tiny object way. also kind of have the vibe of.. #..neopet petpets. I also want more cards because a deck of three cards won't cut it at all. it's about 30 cards iirc? #at the very least mechtogan have not returned. it's a weird saving grace. but they were anime bullshit and 'eh' tcg supports #I'd rather someone pulled a maxus helios on my ass instead of seeing one. helios specifically because that.. #..was a cool maxus. drago less so

Maxus, a name revived from the historic Leyland DAF Vans by SAIC (Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation), has taken a bold step in the UK market by introducing the country's first electric pick-up truck, the Maxus T90 EV. This move not only diversifies the electric vehicle (EV) market but also tests the waters for electric commercial vehicles (CVs) in sectors traditionally dominated by internal combustion engine vehicles.
