[stargathering]

I... have a strange feeling today. I can't really explain it, but it's really bothering me... Just...

[ He's trying to think, but after a few moments, he just groans and puts his hand through his bangs. ]

... For the record, I'm not in denial about anything.

[ ooc: Feel free to hit him with anything! ]

Young Master?

[Tyr's not coming down with something, is he? :<]

[stargathering]

--Gremio. [ Of course saying that would worry Gremio. ...Oh well. ] I...

Are you busy?

[axeofoath]

[Let's see, he has cookies to go in the oven, a bathroom to clean, furniture to dust. Naturally, that means...]

Not at the moment. Is there something I can do for you?

[stargathering]

[ Good thing Tyr doesn't know about that; those cookies should go in! ]

There's just some things on my mind... [ He hesitates, but he did tell Gremio these things before, and he didn't know much more then. Doing it twice just wasn't want Tyr expected to do. ] If this isn't a bad time, then... Let's talk in my room.

[axeofoath]

[Cookies are second to Tyr! So Gremio drops everything that he's doing and scurries on over.]

Y-Young Master--Of course, it's not a bad time at all.

[stargathering]

Good. [ Tyr is such a lucky guy. He tries to calm Gremio down by smiling a little as he takes his hand. ] It's just... things about the war. It might not make a difference here, but I thought you should know...

[ He pauses, then adds: ] Unless you don't want to.

[ ooc: Also, do you mind if I use this scene for the shard plot? Since Gremio is in it, I thought I should ask. ]

[axeofoath]

[Although Gremio isn't sure whether it's something he needs to know, it seems to be bothering Tyr. He stays relatively calm for now, despite his concern.]

The war...They're important, aren't they? If you would like to talk about them, I'll listen.

[ooc: Aha, that scene. No problem, go for it! :3]

[stargathering]

I... [ He's not sure if he wants to, but it feels like something he should do. He nods. ] It is important...

[ Tyr has decided they should sit on his bed. Which is where he leads Gremio after he closes the door behind them. ...Then he tries to think back to how to started this the last time... He breathes a silent sigh before his face turns bitter. ] ... I hated that war, Gremio.

[ ooc: Yay! Okay! :D ]

[axeofoath]

[He sits with Tyr on the bed, giving his master his undivided attention, his expression melancholy but understanding. He has his suspicions of some events; some sort of confrontation with Master Teo would have been unavoidable, after all. Gremio can only begin to imagine what else Tyr may have gone through before the war ended.]

Necessary as it was...it was still a terrible thing. [And especially unkind to Tyr.]

[ooc: Hee, that's going to be a fun one~]

[stargathering]

Not all of it was necessary. [ He says it automatically. His eyes don't meet Gremio's at first, but he looks back up at him. ] None of it should have been... All those deaths...

[ ooc: I hope it is :D I wanted it to be light-hearted. ]

[axeofoath]

[He makes the slightest nod in agreement, even as his concern grows, but he still speaks softly.] They were awful. And...there were more, weren't there? [After his own.]

[ooc: Something cute and light-hearted is definitely nice. :3]

[stargathering]

[ He nods slowly. ] Even off the battlefield... Mathiu was betrayed right before the end of the war... And Ted, father... There was no reason. [ There was no reason for yours, either, but Tyr stops himself from mentioning it. For Gremio, it would be too soon, wouldn't it? ]

[ ooc: I'm glad you think so, too. :3 Who wants to go into a war anyway? ]

[axeofoath]

[Betrayed? Gremio can't mask his surprise, nor his sorrow towards the news. Of course, Ted and Master Teo...he had reason to suspect, but hearing it confirmed is still another thing entirely.

Yet he'll mourn properly later. For now, he reaches out his hand to take Tyr's, squeezing gently.] Y-Young Master...I'm so sorry the war took their lives. [He also wishes it didn't have to be so painful a burden for Tyr.]

[ooc: Exactly! Robbers' ice cream sounds way more fun. 8D]

[stargathering]

[ Tyr clenches his own hand under Gremio's. He would like to relieve this burden, but he doubts he ever will. Now he just ended up sharing it with Gremio. ...But it's better that Tyr tells him than he learns another way, right? ] I am, too... I wish... I could have saved them... [ He just lets his head lean over onto Gremio's shoulder. ]

[ ooc: It is! I like the image of it. :'3 ]

[axeofoath]

[Gremio's other hand moves around Tyr's shoulder in a gentle hug, wishing that there was more he could do.] Under the circumstances, you did all that you could. Though I, too, wish we could have prevented those tragedies...[And sincerely, he adds:] But...Young Master, please do not forget that many lives were also saved because of you.

[ooc: Me too! :>]

[stargathering]

[ Tyr nods against Gremio's shoulder, but leans more against him. He wants it to feel like old times. ] I won't... That's the important part about that whole war.

... But still... I can't help but think...

[ ooc: Bitter icecream! \o/ Also, sorry if I'm slow with this thread;; ]
