[closed] And Rehearse The Way You Heal
Who: Barry, Kravitz, Lup, Magnus, Ren, Seto, and Taako
What: Some backdated but important reunions, daddy-daughter day, and Seto learns to fish.
When: Backdated to early May!
Where: Enso, the elf camp and surrounds.
Warnings: Tag as we go I guess.
i. May 4th || I'll Run Away With Your Footsteps - Taako, Magnus, Kravitz, and the kids!
Once Taako frees him from the tree- once he tells him who-- who else is here, Barold is, perhaps, a man possessed. A decade would do that to you- thirteen long, lonely years of hiding, of watching, of triangulating potential sightings over and over and Over again, never really knowing if there was anyone left to find.
When he'd seen her umbrella in Taako's hand he'd-- he almost lost it, then and there. Had spent months attempting to come to terms with the fact that she- that Lup was probably gone, before doing what he knew she would've wanted him to do. He diverted all his attention to taking care of their family; everything else could wait.
A decade and the pessimistic expectation that he'd already lost her- yeah. Barry supposes he's a little like a man possessed, striding into the middle of the lovingly crafted camp with his head on a swivel. Don't mind him, guys- he's happy to see you. Meet you.
He's just- a tad distracted, at the same time. Yeah.
ii. May 4th || I'll Build A City That Dreams For Two - Lup.
He'd only just missed her. An hour sooner, and whoever had called her away to help might've had to wait, for a while.
It's- it's fine, though. She's off doing what she does best- helping people. Taking that... that undying compassion and sharing it with the world. He can hardly begrudge anyone that; wouldn't dream of interrupting something that important.
But he can go for a walk, too restless to simply sit down and wait for her return. It's a chance to gain his bearings; wandering up to the Storyteller's temple, navigating his way back to camp with almost perfect success, then do it all over again. By this points he's- not exactly at his best. Coated in dirt and tree sap, he's also soaked with sweat and- and honestly, he heads back to into camp with every intention of asking Taako to direct him to the nearest beach.
And that's
That's precisely when he sees her.
iii. May 7th || And If You Lose Yourself - Ren.
[More disconcerting than a whole new world, by far, is coming to a new world with people from a variety of dimensions. Not just people with experience in such things, either; soldiers, civilians- children. That last one in particular... gets him, a little. Not just teenagers, not like Lance, but actual, literal kids; even if their ages were up for debate, Ren and Seto absolutely classify as such.
The end result of which is now he's an uncle- or-- dad, or...something? He's not really sure and at this point, he's too afraid to ask. What he does know, without a single doubt, is Lup and Taako love them, which means it's time to put his best foot forward.
So when the hour is early enough for little trash goblins to be huddled round the campfire, enjoying their breakfast egg and fish spice, Barry makes his approach. Crouching down beside Ren with a bowl of fruit and a smile. What's up, little trash goblin.]
So, uh. Lup says I just missed your birthday.
iv. May 8th || I Will Find You - Seto.
Okay, so kids may not be his strong suit, but know what he's- better at? Fishing. And sure, he doesn't need to fish; Lup and Taako's monopoly on the trading economy means he doesn't have to do much of anything, really- but he wants to. It's a relaxing sort of passtime, peaceful.
The perfect type of activity to get to know the second trash goblin two of his favorite people have adopted, starting with threading some rope into sturdy nets.
"Alright, I think we've got everything we need. Ever made a net, before?"

At least he'll get a wonderful reward for it at the end of the year?]
Alright, it's a deal. [He chuckles- promptly choking on his own spit at the thought of being hunted down- uhhh....
Being sought out by Kravitz. No, no. That- no, thank you.] Sounds... great. Really great.
[End him.]
no subject
She eyes his food, then the woods around them, and up to the sky to see where the sun is. It won't be super hot for a long time, so-]
If you eat your breakfast very fast, I can show you places to hide.
[Kravitz is a hard mode player and she doesn't want Barry Bluejeans to meet the same hide and seek end she did.]
They'll be easy to find because they're by pretty things. They feel like Lup, so you won't forget where they are.
no subject
Damn, but she is a cute kid. Just one mention of Lup and he's melting, offering his bowl of fruit with a smile.]
Sounds good- but I might've taken too much fruit. Want some?
[It'll be finished even faster if he has the help of a trash goblin...]
no subject
Do you like berries? Is that your favorite? Is that why you're named Barry?
no subject

She whispers Barold Barold Barold under her breath because she has to remember this exciting new thing. Should she be calling blueberries by their original name too? That's the real q of the day and she's going to find out, whether he likes it or not.
When she's done eating and hoarding, she stands up without warning. Come on, Barry!! It's time for an adventure.]
We should find more bluebarolds to bring home. We can do that before we hide.
