She nodded. “Lead the way.”
Edgar smiled to himself, playing in his head with that three simple words in another context. Nevertheless, in the plane of reality, he just took Terra’s arm in his and started to walk.
“I already told you that you should just pick up all the children and come lives here in Figaro Castle. It would be easier for you, all of you, to live here. I do not like to think you are all by yourself with only children in Mobliz. And I count those two, Duane and Katarin, as children too!”
“But Mobliz is their home!”Terra protested. “Even if most of the town has been destroyed, I don’t think they’d want to…”
Would it really be best to keep the children in Mobliz? she wondered. In Mobliz, they had little more than a few wooden doors to stand between them and an attacking monster. But in Figaro…
“You are wrong, Terra.” - he said, calmly, looking at her - “Their home once was Mobliz. Now, however, their home is nowhere else but with you. Home is not just an acre of land but also where your heart lies and I know those little fellows love you more than anything in the world. You are their home.” - he smiled fondly, remembering all those faces, some time ago, asking to not take Terra away from them - “Besides, here you would not have to worry neither with material goods nor with monsters of the kind of that Humbada threatening you. And I will finally sleep in peace, knowing you all are safe, knowing you are safe and that I can help when you have another nightmare, cramps, headache, whatever!”
Because even knowing she was strong, the strongest between them, it was hard to be miles away, thinking about every misfortune that could happen whilst he was laying in a comfy bed, between cambric sheets.
“Please, hear my plea, Terra. Or, at least, promise me you will consider my offer. Your friend is a king, for goddess sake!, of a prosperous land! You should be more greedy and make use of his position, right? - and his newly discovered love, he thought, but said nothing, stopping a maid in their way to ask for tea and a tray with fruits.
Going to sleep (03:30 AM!) but tomorrow is a holyday here =D
I’ll be an early bird tomorrow, I promise! Goodnight everyone!

“In all my life, I met only one person who was born with this gift, my friend Terra, and she is a half-Esper. She is such a marvelous being, the best of both worlds, that I never thought I would find someone with the same gift.” - the man smiled with fondness - “I assume you are not part Esper, right? So, your use of magic impress me, my Lady.”
Shifting her weight she listens intently, a slow nod acknowledges his words. “I assume Espers are like my world’s Aeons, powerful deities?” Folding her arms she continues. “I am Hume, there is no mixed blood within me, I am merely of magical decent, nothing more.”
“I do not know about Aeons, but Espers are… magical beings in my world. They were created by the Warring Triad, in the time when the three Gods were on war and everything caught in the crossfire, human and animal, became Espers. I cannot say they are powerful deities, though. They sure holds a great power but, at the same time, Espers were enslaved by the gods to fight for them until the Warring Triad realized the chaos their fighting was causing and sealed themselves in stone, their final act to give the Espers their free will. But so much happened after that…”
Taking a breath, Edgar finally blinked, as if coming out of a trance - “I am sorry, Lady Lulu, I have been told I talk too much for my own good.” - he laughs, hands clasped behind his back - “Just let me ask you a last question: when you say you are a Hume, is it a human race, right? I am not familiar with the term.”
She waves him off gracefully. “That is quite all right, I am a woman of few words.” Returning her arms back to a folded position she ponders his question for a moment before answering. “It is a term I myself have come across recently, but yes, it is a term used to describe the Human Race, I’m sorry for the confusion caused.” She bows by way of apology.
“No, you should not apologize or bow yourself to me.” - the king gestured with his hands - “Seriously, my Lady, most of the time I was on the road, covered in mud and blood, not feeling a king at all and I still do not consider myself worthy of such deference. I am just Edgar, an engineer, who by the force of fate also happens to be a king and, as such, must discuss about tax rate sometimes.” - he smiled to her, putting a stray hair behind his ear.

“That sounds good. Which room should we go to?”
“Hmmm… I guess mine is bigger, besides, the deck of cards it’s here. Should we go now? We can ask for some tea, persimmons and pomegranates in the way.”
She nodded. “Lead the way.”

blackmage-lulu asked you:
She inclines her head as she speaks. “I was indeed born with the gift of magic, Lord Edgar. It seems I am meeting more and more people who are impressed by my abilities.”
“In all my life, I met only one person who was born with this gift, my friend Terra, and she is a half-Esper. She is such a marvelous being, the best of both worlds, that I never thought I would find someone with the same gift.” - the man smiled with fondness - “I assume you are not part Esper, right?

“You are right, I cannot protect you or avert your nightmares, I do not have this kind of power in me. But I am your friend, Terra, and at least I can talk to you until you are not troubled by them anymore, can’t I?” - he smiles to her, squeezing her shoulder a little. - “You know I like to talk - and I can keep on talking until everyone around me is almost sleeping. This… gift might be of help whenever you feel restless.”
“Would you help me to sleep tonight?”
“The question you should be asking is not if I will help you or not, but if we are staying in your room or mine?” - he laughs, kissing the top of her head - “I know a new game, a friend of mine taught me how to play and gave a deck of cards! It’s called Triple Triad and I am sure we can play a few rounds tonight until you fall asleep. What do you think?”
“That sounds good. Which room should we go to?”
“Hmmm… I guess mine is bigger, besides, the deck of cards it’s here. Should we go now? We can ask for some tea, persimmons and pomegranates in the way.”

If you're a male, you may call me "Your Majesty" 'cause I'm the King of Figaro Castle. If you're a pretty Lady, please, call me anything you want ;D
(Sometimes I may respond to Gerad too, but only after a Apocalypse or something like that.)
