Ultear awoke early in the morning in his camping tent deep out in the bush. It had been a few days since he had seen anyone else and he was excited to go home soon and maybe after he cleaned up he would bump into Eihari and maybe she would sing for him. She had the most beautiful voice, it haunted his dreams some nights but in a pleasant way?
He stretched. The coffee wouldn't make itself sadly. He crawled out of the tent the first rays of morning sunlight. He got a fire started and boiled the coffee before perking it to perfection over the flames. Coffee was life, coffee was comfort and alertness, a ritual, a pleasure. He made his bright slightly sweet and nutty. He lived for that sip every morning, it was like the one part of the day where he really spoiled himself and he was allowed to do whatever he wanted to do not whatever he had to do.
It was a good way to live, sometimes in the bush where the loudest things were the thoughts in his own head. Today after his coffee he went to go bath in the stream nearby. It would be cool and bracing and good for his skin. He happened to look down after he took his shirt off and paused.
His crystals were a different color. He hadn't seen anyone for days, so he was pretty sure his sister didn't prank him somehow. He had never heard of anything like this ever. It was so strange, he didn't feel any different at all and yet there they were on his skin, plainly a different color than before. He wondered if the gods were perhaps trying to test his sanity. He thought they would have to come up with something a smidge more creative but this was indeed getting there. He made a large sandwhich for breakfast with tomato, meat and egg plus a bit of cheese. It was amazing. He loved food in the bush, it always tasted better in the fresh air and you were usually busy too. So therefore when you did eat you were hungry to replace all the calories you just burnt off by being amazing. That was his motto in life, he had to learn to just embrace it and celebrate each little moment when it came. He was a life enthusiast. He liked to party, he liked to work hard, he liked to visit family and friends on a good deep level.
He did spend a long time alone, he had one of those bendy personalities that could do both but he preferred quiet time to recharge for sure. He could only handle so many people in a row before he was more than ready for a break. Thus he went on long walkabouts to seek enlightenment and work on his training but most of all to just avoid all the people for a while. A few special people were not included and he liked to hang out with them any time.
He would go to town later and see what he could find out about changing crystals and all of this darn pollen in the air, it was sparkling and dancing in the air constantly. An odd sort of confetti if you asked him. He cleaned up after his massive sandwhich and having ate himself into a stupor and having the upsetting change of his crystal color for no apparent reason he went to lay down in case he was coming down with something that involved changing crystals any cold that could do that he was kind of afraid of. He did not get sick very often, but when he did it usually hit hard enough.
He felt safe in the blankets folding one arm over the other like he was being hugged. Ultear scrunched the blanket down closer about his shoulders, he was safe, everything was okay now just feel comfortable and let yourself drift off. It took some time but at least he had relaxed into a stupor. It was a warriors phase, a kind of half awakeness used for a while to prevent surprise attacks in the night, though if they were close enough to you that they woke you from sleep then you were already in some sort of trouble already. He preferred to be prepared. He should be safe out here but well his body had just changed oddly and he was just a bit weirded out. He napped and rested, then headed pell mell for town to find out that this had happened to a lot of people. Thank the gods.
