"So... this is all there is, you think?" Arcanos asked, not putting anything accusing into the question, just... did Cyr really think and believe that? When all the evidence said otherwise?
Arcanos sighed softly then, though ...and scooted closer, putting a paw on the other's shoulder and hoping he wouldn't get pushed away. "It's ok... if... if you don't want to think about it, I won't push you..." he murmured quietly.

Cyr shrugged, looking defeated, "There's more? I can't see or touch these other worlds, how can I believe in them?" He didn't shy away when the other touched him, merely looked up in surprise. "No. I want to figure this out - it's been bothering me for a while...." He actually leaned into the touch before he remembered the other was taken and pulled away, shaking his head. He couldn't do that...
"Why /are/ you pushing?" He asked suddenly, "You've been so... friendly since you showed up. You're putting on airs of wanting to help me... Acting so familiar... and yet you're promised to another. I don't get it. Why?" He was beginning to doubt the other's intentions... "If you're thinking to gain some favour with my family, it won't wor-" He stopped abruptly, blinking. Where had that come from? He didn't have a family...
Or a fortune to be clawed from him. Confused yet again, he shook his head, "I... don't have a family. How can you be after our wealth if there is none...?" A dark feeling settled onto him then and he backed up, slamming the door to his mind closed. That was one memory he knew he ought not to experience.

Arcanos winced at the second question, ducking his head. How could he think... oh. Well, of course maybe it sounded like that. And he didn't remember... oi. "Cyr... I ... you idiot, you're the one I'm promised to!" he finally burst out, then clamped mouth shut again and flushed. Dammit... hadn't really meant to blurt it out like that.
"You ... remembered being in jail... we were there at the same time. They thought you were a demon. But I helped you get out.."

Cyr froze, jaw working as his gaze snapped up to meet Arcanos'. Blinking, he wasn't sure he'd heard the other correctly. But it acted like a catalyst and a torrent of memories crowded in, all vying for attention and he ducked his head, whimpering as the headache intensified. Burying head beneath his paws, he tried to block it all out but Arcanos' latter comment made one stand out perfectly clear and the shadowy figure's face suddenly grew crystal clear.
What? It was hard to take in but... with all that everyone had said... he couldn't deny the few memories that stood out - their meeting, a random childhood memory, his coming of age... the warm embrace of a lover... He squeezed his eyes shut and tried not to be overwhelmed. "Ar-Arcanos?" There was a hint of true recognition in the question but still lacked intimacy.

Arcanos winced when Cyr suddenly looked like he was in pain. Hadn't really meant to do that... And he scooted closer still - almost leaning against the other, paw moving to rest on Cyr's upper front leg.
"Yea... that's who I am," he said softly, very nearly whispering into an ear. "Sorry.. didn't mean to hurt you..."

"N-not you...." He grumbled through gritted teeth. "Said vis- memories." It was hard to think for a few moments while his brain sorted through the information and filed it away for later inspection. Most wasn't locked up now but it certainly wasn't remembered either.
"Damn..." He shook his head and eyed the other as he sat back up, breathing a little heavily, "You... I know you. You broke me out of the jail... and..." He blinked, realization coming as pieces of the puzzle began to come together, "That's what that means... Shift." It was a strange sensation, discovering things you already knew but had somehow forgotten. "And... I'm a noble? I don't feel like a noble...." He frowned, looking himself over critically. Then again, he'd never wanted to be in that position - or rather hold the responsibilities along with the perks.
"But... what do you mean promised to me? Isn't that a bit much?" He quirked a brow, "You just helped me out of the prison...." Digging about his mind, he remembered they'd gotten separated shortly thereafter, "But that's it." His head still ached something fierce but at least it didn't feel like someone was hammering him with a blunt object anymore.

"Ah... but there's a lot more than that," Arcanos pointed out, with a faint little smile. At least Cyr seemed to be remembering something. "You just... don't remember it, I guess." He could only hope that it would come in time, but at the same time ... he'd seen how much remembering even that much had hurt the other.
"Don't worry about it right now, though... that looked like it sorta hurt. Probly shouldn't push too much, right?"

Sighing, Cyraltheing flopped back down into the grass as he watched Arcanos with a strange look in his eye. "It was just a headache... I've gotten those a lot recently. There's nothing more to remember..." He didn't sound so sure that fact now but he as grateful the other wasn't pushing him so much. This Arcanos surely was determined. And the reason escaped the Shifter turned Kitsu.
"Good idea." He smiled slightly, "Remembering or whatever those were means headaches." A light laugh sounded out into the night then as he lifted his gaze to the stars, "Guess that means if I think too hard I hurt myself, says something doesn't it?" Quirking his lips into a smirk, the kitsu shrugged and fluttered his wings.

"Mm... maybe so," Arcanos replied with a faint smile, leaning over to nose gently at the other's shoulder. "For now though... it's kind of late. So maybe we should both rest..?" he suggested quietly.
