Teaching Evasive Maneuvers

Previous =-= Next

Author's note: More of Symith in mermay.

Summary: Symith and his younger brothers and cousins are patrolling, he spots a new arrival coming in. Realizes it's a Custodes and teaches rapid evasive maneuvers and gets them all back to base before the Custodes makes a splash.

Warnings: ... Let me know if I need to add more.

Symith is with the same mixed squad of Ultramarines and Space Wolves, all of them younger than him by decades, how they got here, was usually due to battle- and the strange twist of circumstances that had them from one breath to another There to Here. He's not one to ponder who gets chosen or why, and from what he's heard, even Custodes have been dropped onto Ancient Terra, not many, Thank the All-father, for they are far more dangerous than even the worst of Rampaging Khornate Space Marines.

He's heard the stories of whole pods of Space Marines being torn asunder, Loyalist, Renegade, and Chaos, because the Custodes deemed them unfit for Life, or because they wouldn't listen to the words of the Loyalists, explaining when and where they are. He suspects that they are trying to seek out the much younger version of The Emperor. Which, well- he wonders if they'll find him or not. He wonders if them being here will effect the time line, or if they are now in a new timeline, or if this will just be a temporary thing and won't actually affect things at all. Or- one of the younger space marines swims over to him with a concerned frown.

"You're bleeding from the nose," The young Apothecary with them says in concern, "Did you hit your head or something?"

"Ah- just got a wicked headache," He says waving the youngster off.

He had been... thinking about- oh, bad nope, not going to try going to think or poke at what is for Witches and Rune Priests to deal with. He's good at teaching and protecting and fighting, among other things. Such navel gazing and thoughts of philosophy and causality and other fancy-smancy nerd shit is for those of a higher intelligence than him. He allows the young Apothecary fuss over him as the Warp wipes away his thoughts on things that he should really not try to think too hard about. It just is.

"You didn't have to fuss so much," He says with a mild grumble

As they continue to patrol this area of the seas, on Ancient Terra, there had been some Excitement, some Idiot Chaos Psyker had tried to do some Great Working and it had twisted and gone wrong, and potentially really cursed an underwater cave system nearby.

Exactly where, he's not been told, mostly so he doesn't go poke at it with his bolter and get bitten by something Nasty. Also, another thing, there was some rumblings about a Nurglite Infestation that had nearly destroyed a Coral Reef ecosystem, that too, was being handled by those who are qualified to handle it. He had his squad are to try and see if they can find other Strange Things that might be happening, or Chaos Bastards who aren't where they are supposed to be.

Also, he's unsurprised that the Chaos Marines are Up To Shit, and Causing Problems On Purpose for everyone else. It's what they do, they are, after all, Chaos Marines. He has Opinions on this 'armistice' between the two sides, especially since he knows that certain factions within the Chaos Marine pods and shoals aren't doing their part of the deal as well as they should. The larger Chaos Marine Pods would claim that it was smaller shoals that aren't a part of the Alliance that lies at fault, but he's got his doubts on that. Even odds on whether it's true or not. He swims to the surface and looks up- he'd spotted something glittering and sparkling above him and then swum fast down to where the Scouts are.

"Boys!" He calls sharply.

Gratifyingly they all turn towards him swiftly. "We need to move out of the area- a new Custodes is landing in these waters."

They all seems startled and start to whirl, "Move it lads! I don't want to become shark chum from a raging Custodes having a fit from their arrival. We also need to let the Chapter Masters in the area know so they can decide on the approach. Now- get moving!"

They are all loyalists, but depending on when the Custodes is from, what they were doing, and where they were before coming to Ancient Terra... being Reasonable is Not something that was designed by the Emperor within his Golden Host. So- they are swimming, fast and in the deep and in a circuitous pattern- he's barking out orders to them to help them with evasion and hopefully, staying unnoticed by one of those Stuffy, Uppity bastards who were more likely to kill, than listen to anything anyone said, or pull their weight and bully any and everyone who knows exactly what they are to their advantage, taking more in supplies and resources, and knowledge faster than they usually allowed new arrivals to have.

But such was the Custodes- catering to those bastards whims. New Custodes, are very likely to be Unbonded. Trying to risk sending a message to one of the Bonded Custodes about their newly arrived brother, usually they would deign to speak with their brother and explain things. Which was a better way, in his opinion, let the Bonded Custodes deal with unbonded Custodes and leave them out of it.

He thinks it had worked, none of them are dead without realizing it, and he's not heard the whale song- and booming crooning calls of a Custodes on a hunt, when they decided to be noisy. Informing the Captain in deck of what was going on had been fun, but since he's done his job, and now that problem is so far above his paygrade it isn't funny. He grabs his squad of Scouts and tucks them into one of the shared nests to make sure they are all safe, alright, and most importantly, do not be stupid and try to catch a glimpse of a Custodes. His boys are safest where he can see them, scruffing the Apothecary and tucking him into the middle of the group.

Yuu Singer, Octavinelle (Poor Unfortunate Souls)

Yuu was furious, he doesn't cross that out, he was about to get angry when he found out what Ace, Deuce, Grim did.

He didn't understand why or what was the need to make a deal for the answers when he had been helping them with the studies, even Jack was going to study with the group…reluctantly, but he was going.

Yuu even praised Grim when they delivered his notes, he was proud of his monster-cat-friend-almost-brother and a few minutes later he was completely disappointed.

At first he didn't want to help and Jack shared that thought. His friends and the other 250 students needed to learn that every decision has consequences.

But Crowley begged Yuu and Jack for help, they didn't want to… but Dire is a cunning dog.

Dire sighed tiredly and with a hand on his forehead said. "Gods, too bad they can't help…and just now when I was looking into a new chef who's an expert in pear compote." Jack's ears perked up with interest. "…and he was also going to do the math to increase the dorm's budget so they could have a suit of their own." Yuu's right eye twitched angrily.

"Damn you Crowley and damn us for giving in to temptation." Yuu and Jack thought before agreeing to help Crowley by freeing those Blue chained with his contracts.

Jack thought it would be a good idea to follow the Octavinelle leader.

But Yu no. "Azul surely expected that and more after we faced him in Mostro Lounge" Yuu said seriously.

The singer thought they could see the student records… when he asked Dire if they could see them this with a mysterious smile he said he. "Each student's information is confidential and I, as principal, cannot divulge it… but if I leave I don't know my keys lying around and then someone uses them… it wouldn't be my fault." he said as he pulled a golden raven key from his keyring and tossed it to the ground before walking off.

Yuu and Jack looked at each other blankly as to how that man managed to get the position of director of NRC…

But well, in the end, checking Azul Ashengrotto's logs didn't reveal that much, although it was useful.

Everything unfolds as in the game, the changes occur when they ask Yuu and Jack for help in Mostro Lounge while they wait for Azul.

As Yuu set down some drinks on a table, he looked at the stage. An idea formed in his mind and she went with Jade Leech.

The twin was intrigued when Yuu asked if he could put on a little show. "Some entertainment will keep customers calm until they are served." Yuu said with a smile. Jade looked at the first year, the young man who had caused a stir and chaos with her friends in just the first few months of the semester.

Jade knew that Azul would make a deal with him that night, perhaps to get her magical gift, but they needed to see how far his magic was. He accepted with his typical charming smile.

Yuu thanked him. He wasn't stupid, he knew that entering Mostro Logue to talk to Azul was like entering the mouth of the whale, but he needed to risk it. He called over to Jack, who was taking orders from one of the tables. The young man with wolfish features finished writing down the order and went to Yuu.

"Jack, do you like the singer Karla Mary?" He asked Yuu with a smirk. While he was not yet familiar with all that TW had to offer, he caught up with the singers and types of music that his new world had to offer. Like Karla Mary, a 34-year-old singer from the Land of Pyroxene; she famous for always singing in a mermaid outfit and pearl accessories. He had also seen Jack's playlist for his workouts, basically all the songs were hers.

Jack blushed at the question; His first instinct was to deny it, but his tail betrayed his emotion at hearing his crush's name. "What's the question!?" Jack asked the other in a snarl; Yuu told to Jack the idea... put on a show

And to the surprise of both of them, Jack liked the idea. They went backstage and got ready. "Don't worry, what you have to say will come to your mind while I use the voice of the gods." He assured Yuu to his friend.

Floyd, who was sitting at the bar watching the anemones, looked confused when his twin came on stage. Jade feeling his gaze winked at him with a smile.

“Good evening Mostro Louge…” Jade said into a microphone. “First of all, an apology for the inconvenience tonight; They won't happen again." He said looking at the students with anemones that became more nervous. “Now, enjoy a little show prepared for you; a tribute to the Sea Witch…with you Yuu and Jack Howl.” He said before going backstage.

Yuu and Jack came out wearing their uniforms; the first confident and the second somewhat nervous for not being used to being in the spotlight. "Vil makes it look so easy." The werewolf boy thought as he swallowed the lump that formed in his throat.

The customers looked expectantly at the stage with a question on their mind. What the hell were they going to do? Your question was answered in seconds…

"Why have you come pumpkin?". Yuu asked with a mischievous voice. "I-I've heard that if someone needs help, you're the one to talk to". Jack said nervously the moment the words came to his mind. Yuu leaned in. "Of course! As the Sea Witch that's my job"

Everyone present understood; Yuu was the sea witch and Jack a soul in need. Even without clothing it was easy to understand.

"Now let me guess" Yuu walked around Jack in an elegant waddle as he looked at him. "You need help with a woman; a princess to be precise". He added before sitting down on a golden chair out of nowhere. "H-how did you…" "My dear, it is my job to know the deepest wishes of the unfortunate souls who seek my help." Jack blushed. "She's a mermaid isn't". Jack nodded. "But, I am a werebeast. Even if I knew her, her family would not allow the relationship." Jack said in a sad tone.

Those present who were newts and hybrids of various kinds understood. Not many people accepted the relationship between a half-beast and merfolks.

"Don't be so sad, that's easy to fix." Yuu said downplaying it. A shadow appeared behind him and passed him a cup of tea. "All you have to do is hide your wolfish features and become a merman. It's the only way to get what you want."

Many felt uneasy when they saw the shadow, even more so when no face could be seen and only heterochromatic eyes were visible; one yellow and one white. Jack nearly went out of character as he saw another similar shadow appear behind the first.

"Can you do that?" Jack asked, nervous about the apparitions.

Yuu smiled; it wasn't easy to use the voice of the gods when you weren't singing, but she was doing it. Shadows were added, using the Leech twins as inspiration; He had to use shadow magic to extract a piece from each of them to do so without hurting them.

My dear, sweet child. That's what I do. It's what I live for~

To help unfortunate humans, merfolks, and in your case therianthropod like yourself~

Poor souls with no one else to turn to~

The mysterious music started playing, the lights dimmed, and purple smoke began to envelop the stage.Yuu dances gracefully as she hopes to gather enough magic to change her outfit, something she's been practicing for weeks.

I admit that in the past I've been a nasty~

They weren't kidding when they called me, well, a witch~

But you'll find that nowadays~

I've mended all my ways~

Repented, seen the light, and made a switch~

True~? Yes ~

Octavinelle was in awe of the song. It was known to the entire sea of TW that "poor needy souls" was the only thing left of a song created by a woman with the voice of the gods and lost over time.

And I fortunately know a little magic~

It's a talent that I always have possessed~

And dear lady, please don't laugh~

I use it on behalf~

Of the miserable, the lonely, and depressed~ (pathetic~)

Yuu smiled at the shadows and they smiled before dancing as they looked at their flesh and blood versions. The Leechs felt a chill run through her body; the twins looked at each other confused because they were afraid of some kind.

Poor unfortunate souls~

In pain, in need~

This one longing to be thinner~

That one wants to get the girl~

And do I help them? ~

Yuu snapped his fingers and instantly Jack's outfit and he changed. Jack had torn black pants, a light blue shirt with lace on the sleeves and neck, a pair of golden balls. Yuu was in black; from the boots to the jacket with the train up to the knees. Both sporting smokey eyes, rosy cheeks and Yuu with red lips.

Yes, indeed~

Those poor unfortunate souls~

So sad, so true~

They come flocking to my cauldron~

Jack was impressed; he used to he didn't understand why some people get carried away by the moment or a popular song, but damn him now he understood. "Maybe you should see more asking Vil about the best movies to watch." He thought the wolf as he danced

Crying, "Spells, Ursula, please!" ~

And I help them ~!

Yes I do~

Azul was hiding at the entrance of his establishment watching the show. "The voice of the gods is amazing." He thought. He knew what Yuu was up to and was pleased to see another with his level of cunning… excepting Jamil. As for his opinion of the song, he was delighted; he felt alluded to even if the show was in honor of the founder of the dormitory he ran.

Now it's happened once or twice~

Someone couldn't pay the price~

And I'm afraid I had to rake 'em 'cross the coals~

The students who made a deal with Azul touched the anemone on his head feeling marked by the phrase. Ace, Deuce and Grim who were listening to the song felt Yuu's angry glare and vowed not to sink so low again.

Yes I've had the odd complaint~

But on the whole I've been a saint~

To those poor unfortunate souls~

"Now, here's the deal." Yuu said guiding Jack to the center of the stage. "I'll use a potion to turn you into a merfolk for a month… you get the idea, a month!" Yuu pointed out with a frown. "Because love is not like in fairy tales and it takes time." Yuu said looking at those present. Yuu clapped his hands twice and a cauldron formed in the middle of the boys. "Listen Howl…" Jack looked at Yuu as if he was going to tell him the secret of life. "before sunset on the last day of the month your dear princess must fall in love with you." Yuu explained as a heart with a tiara bloomed. "And give you a kiss, but not just any kiss, a true love kiss". The heart shone; Jack beamed with delight, making use of Vil's acting lessons.

Azul, Jade and Floyd felt that he had heard that explanation elsewhere. Almost word for word, but they couldn't remember where. While on Olympus, Lady Fate laughed as she watched the three of them try to remember something from them old life. "Yuu, you're doing great". She congratulated one of her favorites in Twisted Wonderland.

"If the princess gives you true love's kiss, you will be a merflok permanently… but, if she doesn't, you will revert to your true form and…". A golden merfolk-like Jack figure transformed back into the beastman. "You will belong to me!" Yuu said with a maniacal smile.

Whether it was Yuu's pleased smile or the unfairness of the deal or the deal felt like the one they signed or the power of the voice of the gods made them do it, Ace, Deuce and Grim screamed. "Not Jack…!" The two shadows appeared behind them and covered their mouths. Customers were on the edge of their seats from the drama of the show. Jack looked worried, because those shadows looked too much like the Leech. "Have we got a deal?" Yuu asked impatiently making Jack look at him without knowing what to do. Jack thought, his mind didn't have what he should say and one look at his singing friend was enough to know what he wanted; Yuu wanted her to improvise. Jack thought about the deal, and while he knew it wouldn't be easy it wasn't impossible, but on the other hand…

"I-if... I become a merfolk, I'll never be with my family again".Said Jack sad; his crush couldn't be more important than his family. "But you'll have your woman and a life of royalty, heh heh. Life's full of tough choices, isn't it? Heh heh~ ". Yuu laughed with a fake sympathy grimace. "Oh, and there is one more thing. We haven't discussed the subject of payment". Yuu reminded him before bringing the chair back to sit Jack in it. "You can't expect me to do this for nothing in return, or can you".

A chill ran through the 250 students trapped by Azul in a contract. "God, they got it… Yuu didn't have to torture them so much." They all thought embarrassed.

Jack frowned and making a worried voice said. "But I don't have- ". "I'm not asking much, just a token really, a trifle!". Yuu cut him off innocently. "What I want from you is...". Yuu made a dramatic pause before saying in a deep voice. "your voice".

"What!?" Customers and Octavinelle members yelled in concern and astonishment. Mostro Lounge customers long ago forgot their complaints about the slow service in favor of watching the show; even Azul got caught up in the plot. Jade and Floyd would also be sitting on the plot if it weren't for the twin shadows looking at them. For the first time the Leech twins were scared and unknowingly… by shadows created with a piece of theirs.

Jack was confused and tried to ask."But without my voice, how can I- ". Yuu silenced him before chanting again.

You'll have your looks, your pretty face~

And don't underestimate the importance of body language, ha! ~

Yuu danced before taking off his jacket revealing a tight black shirt that showed off the few muscles in his arms and torso. Azul felt a twitch in his eye when he heard "body language"… "How easy it is to say that for those who didn't have to be fat in their childhood or have a slow metabolism." He thought angrily as he went over his plan to trap Yuu in his tentacles.

The women there really like to be praised.

They think that a man who talks too much is atrocious ~!

Yet on, at the bottom of the sea it is better to agree to what the mermaids say. And after all dear, what is idle babble for? ~

Although Yuu had to change the lyrics, he was trying to show that women were not equal and that while some would go for a pretty face, others would prefer someone who praises them, and others wanted a partner who would see them as an equal.

Come on, they're not all that impressed with conversation~

Unless you plan to scare them away~

But they adore, swoon and fawn~

In a kind gentleman who is withdrawn~

He is the one who bites his tongue and doesn't speak much who gets a woman~

Every magic sensitive NRC student could see it revolving around Yuu. While Yuu was elated, he had accomplished a lot in a single song and though he was feeling the weariness he had a show to finish and a deal with Azul to finish.

Come on you poor unfortunate soul~

Go ahead! ~

Make your choice! ~

Yuu raised his hands creating tendrils of golden magic with his hands and towers of gray smoke. The lights glowed in various shades of red, purple, and green creating the perfect setting for the song's climax. Jack was drawn to make the deal; It could be a simple song, but he attracted you like a magnet or maybe Yuu's magical gift.

I'm a very busy person and I haven't got all day~

It won't cost much~

With a wave of her hand in the cauldron, golden smoke formed Karla Mary's face with a smile. Others who admired and loved the singer blushed and looked at the image of her with dreamy eyes. Jack tried to touch the image, but it disappeared when he tried.

Just your voice! ~

You poor unfortunate soul~

It's sad but true~

If you want to cross the bridge, my sweet~

You've got the pay the toll~

Take a gulp and take a breath~

And go ahead and sign the book~

The cauldron and chair whirled off the stage to form a silver book and pen that floated in front of Jack. The students trapped in a contract looked at the scene so much like what happened to them and forgetting that it was a performance, they prayed that Jack wouldn't sign.

Flotsam, Jetsam, now I've got him, boys~

Yuu told the shadows and unknowingly giving them the ability to live. The shadows upon feeling the power behind a name smiled with complicity. While they were part of Jade and Floyd's shadow, they would no longer have to be. The twins would have their shadows while they could be independent to bother and forever punish them for their wrongdoing.

The boss is on a roll~

This poor unfortunate soul~

Luckily for everyone, Jack didn't get to touch the pen because the entire stage was engulfed in white light and then it was just Jack and Yuu back in their school uniforms as they bowed to the crowd. Jack looked at Yuu with wonder and respect; Yuu looked at his furry friend with a smile. The Mostro Longue patrons gave them a standing ovation and the Octavinelle students whistled for such a fabulous show.

The rest of the night unfolds much the same… except that while Azul wanted "the voice of the gods" from Yuu, she couldn't get rid of it because those with that gift were born with a rune in her heart that prevented snatch her…

Meanwhile, in Pomefiore… Vil was watching the video that showed his childhood friend performing. "Awesome Jack" He thought with a smile, because even if it was a rookie performance he was pretty decent. "Maybe I can talk him into participating in the casting for the live-action Heracles." Yuu in his opinion also did well, but he only thought about his friend Jack.

A bit long than the others, but it had to be given the situation of Twisted Wonderland chapter 3.

And taking advantage, I present Karla Mary inspired by Cala Maria from Cuphead.

Note: Therianthropy is a term used to represent humans with animal traits (therianthropod).

Octavinelle Yuuki- Aka Vanessa Coral In a universe where Yuuki wanted to fulfill her girlish dream of becoming a mermaid, Azul takes it one step further... and bites off more than he can chew.

{A/N: On a side note, this is probably my favorite alternate reality, mainly because Nessy is such a badass and fits right into the villain motif of Twisted Wonderland. )

Quick...

Hm..

I don’t know what to call this exact Glitch-Trap yet, but it’s the same one from the Poor Unfortunate Souls animatic. It’s him encountering his future “Ariel” for the first time.

Not a good first impression...

I'm an avid otome player and Kisaki's seiyuu (Showtaro Morikubo) is in a good handful of them (Hakuoki and Diabolik Lovers for example) and he's also a singer (he's on spotify!) so I consider that many wins. He's voiced a few popular characters too like Shikamaru Nara from Naruto! (Forgive me for filling your inbox with my love for Kisaki LOL I have so much knowledge and cannot contain it)

Ohhh I didn't know he voiced that many characters, that's cool! I remember finding put about the singing thing a while ago, it's a crime he doesn't have a character song yet!

#i remember finding out about the singing after i came up with an au where kisaki sings poor unfortunate souls #since the whole manipulation thing of the song suits him well and then after that someone linked me to his va's YouTube channel #turns out the voice actor had actually done a cover of poor unfortunate souls lmao #a super fun coincidence

Past -.- Next

Author’s note: Just what was he up to get caught in a fisher net? Let’s find out shall we!

Summary: Zadakael, is SO Normal. The Normal-est of his brothers. He’s not totally going to change them into a mer without their knowledge and have them be his spouse without them knowing.

Warnings: Stalking. Lurking. He’s A Bit Yandere. GN reader, None? Let me know if I need to add anything.

Tagged: @barn-anon, @bleedingichorhearts, @c-u-c-koo-4-40k, @egrets-not-regrets, @kit-williams

Tagged: @sleepyfan-blog, @whorety-k

Zadakael had been swimming with a pod of his younger brothers and cousins, part of one of the mixed shoals that came about due to them landing on Ancient Terra, and he's so glad that he landed in the water, and not on land, because from what he's heard of others that had the misfortune to do that, they were likely wounded in some way, some badly enough to be unable to active the 'swim through air' ability. So landing near or in the water is preferrable, ideal really. He'd just heeded the call of one of their newest arrivals who'd landed on the beach and was badly wounded.

Some of the local humans already noticed the wounded Space Marine and had called for help to arrive, a few of the bonded humans sending messages to their Bonded Marines, who'd gotten into contact with him since he was closest and had an apothecary in training in his squad at the moment. Getting the flailing loyalist (which was Great, and made things usually easier) them being one of the bite-y little bastards aptly called Flesh Tearers had been slightly annoying to deal with.

But after some growling, and the older son of The Great Angel baring and hissing is fangs at the little idiot had the other letting them him and drag his stupid ass to the sea. He'd caught sight of a pretty human in a boat- carefully fishing. He'd put them out of his mind, at the moment. But, it's been several months and he still comes to this area, watching the human as they fish and boat in these waters, they are so lovely, and he hears them sing to themself, or talk to others over the primitive radio. They seemed to be an excellent hunter of fish and other sea creatures.

For some reason, they'd toss back some perfectly good food back to the sea, still, as he sometimes swam closer, making sure that they didn't notice him. The way they worked on the sea, and supplemented their income sometimes by doing tours with people that don't know the ocean as well. It's interesting to watch them talk, he feels something deep within his soul, as he swims after them. He's heard of Bonds and of what the other's feel when they find their bonded for the first time. It takes one of other brothers pointing it out to him with more teasing than he felt was warranted as he retaliated in kind about realizing he was newly Bonded.

He'd swum off, not in a huff, but to go find his pretty human and watch as they fish. He's startled, he hadn't realized he had gotten so close to their boat. He tries to dodge out of the way when their net catches him and a portion of a shoal of fish and he swears to himself as he tries to get out of the net without breaking it, or harming his human and much to his embarrassment, and he is so glad that none of his brothers or cousins are around to see this display of indignity. He hadn't meant to snap at them so, but he had meant to give them a touch of his blood, to increase the bond between the two of them.

He knows that his human will be drawn to the sea, far more than they were as a someone who uses the sea to make their coin. The soft press of their lips against his haunts his dreams for days after. He continues to watch and wait for them to return to the sea, informing his brothers and cousins that he's allied with in the local area of his human and to send him a message if they come back. To his delight they come back, it takes longer, a few weeks longer than he thought it would. He's so pleased that they have come back to the sea, and he swims up and out of the water a bit to talk to his human.

Crooning at them, Blood Angels are sought after, and thought to be highly attractive, and he knows that they had found him attractive, if intimidating when they first met him, and their reactions to him now are most pleasing as he teasingly flirts with his human, curling around their form and speaking with them. It is difficult, and he gives them a couple more kisses, each with yet another drop or two of his blood dripping into her mouth. He could ask them be his, but that could come with a Rejection. And the thought of them rejecting him has his hearts stinging with pain and has him want to curl around them and drag them down to the depths where they would need him in order to survive.

He shakes off those thoughts. No- no, he has a plan, they will be his, he just needs to be a bit patient, and do this slowly, woo them, charm them. It is slowly starting to work, although some of the younger brothers and cousins that he's been given charge of are being curious little shits and have also started talking to his Human, which he allows, after sternly telling them the Rules, and that they are his human, his bonded, which they are happy for him for. The Flesh Terror keeps teasing him about how he's being a love sick fool.

Which he properly punishes the uppity bratling Scout for and makes him learn respect by having the other go through harder training than normal, and without help from the rest of the squad for being a lippy little bastard. His mood almost always seems to get better when he gets to see his human, they are so lovely, so clever and he is getting to know them. He also, does apologize to them properly for scaring them when they first met, explaining that they had surprised him by managing to catch him in a net, and that he shouldn't have threatened them like that. Also, he'd given them an apology gift, made from sea glass and pearls that he'd carefully harvested, with twine he'd found and cleaned. He had been so pleased when his human had accepted his gift, and after a few weeks, and said that they accepted his apology.
