[Edel Rp] Home (Kos and Kou)

[midnight_medea]

Cosine slept soundly, not something she had been in the habit of. Isra had given her a blend of tea that she swore would make her sleep like the dead and she was right. When Ankou had entered the room she did not stir, she did not feel his breath or his hand in hers. When the morning came and she started to stir it struck her as strange that there was another in the bed with her. She opened her eyes and looked down at the hand that was in hers. It was his, she turned and grinned as she saw him there next to her. Really there.

She released his hand and reached out to touch his face,
"Kou." She said softly, "wake up."

[Zero Dream]

The god to her right, by all accounts, was dead to the world, his breathing slow and regular. It was only when she touched his cheek that he seemed to awaken, and it took a few more minutes before gold and yellow eyes opened.

"Hey." He answered, still half-asleep. He looked to be in one piece, but if the faint marks on his right arm were any indication, then perhaps the Spirit Guide had indeed been in some sort of trouble, but had time to heal.

[midnight_medea]

Cosine smiled as he stirred and responded.
"Hey." She replied, reaching out to touch the feint marks on his arm. he was there, truely there and he seemed ... well. She hoped that meant that his mission had been successful.
"So?" She asked softly. "Did you find him? Everyone made t back safely?"

[Zero Dream]

He did not pull away when she touched the scars - they had stopped being sensitive... Sometime after leaving the Underworld, most likely. Once he had stopped feeling pain from then, he had mostly forgotten the wounds had existed.

It took him a moment to understand what she was talking about, for the last remains of drowsyness to slide away, and then - ah, right, Nergal... and Echo...

"Tian Yue and I." Echo... he did not know. "I have found them... They are both well, but I have not seen Echo. I was at the outskirts, she was in the center, and the realm is already... very large." Ankou paused, looking thoughtful. "Nergal said she would likely return soon... I thought she would have by now." It seemed odd, but... maybe something had kept her busy. Still, that failed to make him worry.

[midnight_medea]

Cosine listened to him and smirked a little. All that way and he did not even see her.
"Your mission was a success then?" She asked, watching him closely. "You went all that way just to stand on the edges of the realm?"

She knew he refered to the Underworld. And she hoped that, as he said Echo was on her way back, she may even be back for all Cosine knew.
"All is well though?"

[Zero Dream]

"Well, that was not exactly the plan..." He admitted, his face coloring with embarrassment. "But that is what happened."

"It is too early to tell." They had only just now returned, him and Tian Yue. They had not yet organized the information in a way that was easily referred to, even less presented it to Harmodius. "We still have much to do... though nothing that should take me far away again." He added, quelling any possible worry before it could arise. Or, at least, trying to.

[midnight_medea]

Cosine nodded and smiled.
"Well, that is reassuring, I got quite bored with you all away. Though, we did have some little events here." She smiled and brushed some of his hair from his face. Nothing as exciting as his journey she was sure but still.
"I met Soto. He is quite the terror but as adorable as the others. I also found a new friend, a gift Harmodius himself had given me, it ... it changed into a Nyanko. They are guides of the world tree. You will have to meet him as you are a fellow traveller of worlds."

[Zero Dream]

A Nyanko... ?

That made the Guide rise an eyebrow is slight surprise.

"We have met a few, in Yggdrasil. Nyanko, that is. I would definitively like to meet him." However, his expression slid into a grin, and he reached out to play with her hair as well. Just as soft as he remembered them, though that had no reason to change. "...Later."

[midnight_medea]

At his reply it was her turn to raise her eyebrows.
"Really?" She asked reaching up to touch his hair. "He will be pleased to hear that."

Withdrawing her hand she reached to his cheek and rubbed at a smudge of dirt. "You know you are a huge mess." She smirked. "I should run you a bath. Unwind after your journey."

[Zero Dream]

Well, she had a point. He honestly had seen better days...

And to think, the goddess had not seen him before he had ended up taking a 'bath'... in a world-wide ocean. He decided that it was maybe wiser not to mention such thing.

"Ah, but... I am so tired. I fear I will not be able to take a bath on my lonesome." He tried to look innocent... and failed completely.

The bath was certainly large enough for the both of them, so this would not be an issue, if Cosine actually decided to take the bait.
