#his reunion with guardy starts with a an awful joke and ends with lots of tears

[otomes-and-tears]

Hello, I hope you're having a good day! I was wondering if it might be possible to ask for a one shot of Ezarel receiving news about Erika/Guardienne's awakening (whether by HQ letter, or maybe smth overheard idk)? ; o ; I miss that blue boy so much aaaaaa

Ezarel always looked forward to Nevra’s letters.

Not like he’d ever let that smug bastard know, his ego was already too inflated for his own good, but it was still nice to hear from his old friend.

Nevra’s letters were lengthy— usually several pages long and detailed the shenanigans that the ones that stayed behind were going through. Life in the HQ was quieter than it was before, but still busy, so he could forgive his friend for not writing too often.

That’s why when Twylda came running to him on one afternoon, with a letter in hand from the HQ he got worried.

“You received one less than a month ago, didn’t you?”

He looked at the papers in his desk. The reply he was still writing.

Ezarel held the new letter with a worried glance.

“Do you think... That something happened to him?”

“There’s only one way to find out.” She says “I’ll give you privacy but... Please call me if you need something.”

He nodded. They didn’t really get along well at first, but with time he started really appreciating Twylda’s company. She was sweet and motherly, and seemed to know just what to say to make him feel better.

With a sigh he grabbed his letter opener and reached for the contents inside. It was only one page long and written hastily, which was unusual for the vampire.

His eyes skimmed through the text, and his heart almost stopped beating in this chest when he processed the words written in front of him.

They were alive.

The guardian was alive.

They woke up in front of the Crystal almost two weeks ago now.

They are awake and okay and they asked about him.

Ezarel’s first thought was “this must be a joke”. But this was clearly Nevra’s handwriting, even if it was messy and lacked its usual flair, and the letter was closed off with his seal. Nevra has a weird sense of humour but he wouldn’t joke about something like this, and everything pointed to the fact that he found out about it and immediately ran to write to him about it, as he promised he would.

Ezarel’s hands were shaking. He was embarrassed to admit that he wanted to cry, and was glad to be alone for now.

He didn’t know what to do.

Should he write back and ask for more information? Should he just march over there and see it with his own eyes?

His eyes scanned over the letter one last time, and he watched the contents of the letter he was still writing on his desk.

No. He had to be there.

With a surge of decisiveness, the elf got up to look for his bags.

He just hoped the guardian would still be okay by the time he got there.

#he knows his human #they have a tendency to be put in moral peril #he just needs to know if they are okay #that’s what he tells himself. in his mind he’s 100% over them #but he cares about them as a friend so he wants to be there #a lot has changed and he wants to make sure they have a familiar face there to tease them #he packs his bags as quickly as he can and he starts travelling back first thing in the morning #when he gets there #like two weeks later #Nevra is the first person that he sees #guardy is out on a mission #absolutely no one is surprised to see him there #they all knew that he would visit as soon as word got to him #his reunion with guardy starts with a an awful joke and ends with lots of tears #I don’t know if he would go back home afterwards. they might not get back together immediately but I don’t think he’d want to let them go #not after losing them once #oh btw since Twylda Marie-Anne and him left at the same time I’m just assuming that they live together #twylda is more like a mom to his than his actual mother don’t @ me #Eldarya #Ezarel eldarya
