he shuddered. the burning of books, even books with a history like those had tore at his soul. he watched though, as he kew he must as every last artical burned to a fine powder. magic burned hotter than any true flame he knew. when the last ashes cooled the man leaned towards the pile and blew, dusty soot filled the air and floated to the ground. he could feel the misery of the other come off in waves even as he stood stony-faced. luka put a hand to his shoulder an offer to let himself cry if he needed to while still maintaining distance if he needed that, for the boy had just watched the final death of a madness going well beyond anything he could ever grasp

[Pinkie]

Mizuki stood there and watched as the soot flew into the air. Everything that he had kept a hold of all these years...gone. A silent tear rolled down his cheek and Mizuki didnt notice. Turning his head he looked to Luka with sad painfilled eyes before he turned silently not saying anything and headed into the house. Taking a spot on the couch in the living quarters Mizuki hung his head his arms resting on his knees. Then the realization of what he did hit him and the tears came in full force.

[littl3chocobo]

he felt no regrets as the other trailed off though he did feel shame, this man had gone through so much and here he was adding to it, that it was his own life that was being played with came second to the grief he saw in those eyes. he did not know what else to do so he stood there quiet an still like the settled ash

[Pinkie]

Mizuki sat there the silence in the room broken only from the soft sobbing that he did. He was regreting his actions. Losing everything that reminded him of the male was gone...all except one thing. Though it would be had to even peer at that at times. Mizuki felt hopeless. He didnt know what to do. It was as if a piece of his heart got ripped out and throwen in with the books and engolfed by flames.

[littl3chocobo]

the sun had hit the highest peak by the time he had thought to go in, he passed the still crying other without a word and knelt by his bag, from it he pulled a bit of paper, not parchment, a tablet board and an ink set. he sat on the floor by the other and putting the grind in a corner of the welll ans dabbing it with corked water, his pen-well soaked up the mixture and he put it to paper. the other stpped crying and looked over at what he was making, luka said nothing and continued to draw from memory the little doodles from the diary only he substituted each wold for a bushy-tail fox

[Pinkie]

Mizuki sat there in his silent sobs before the male before him caught his attention. Looking down to where the male sat by his feet he watched as he began to draw. His heart jumped a little as pictures from the diary poped up onto the page. Though instead of wolfs that was commonly found it was foxes that he drew. Mizuki watched. The tears on his face and bringing his eyes forgotten to the world as he watched the swipe of the pen.

[littl3chocobo]

he let the ink flow through him for this was the talent of his family, though it was not seals on books he was singing in to creation with his pen but seals on hearts. he did not look up from his work as the other quieted. his refilled his pen and continued all around the dancing foxes and dragons he wrote seals dozens of them, each a capture each flawed in just such a way to render them unusable. he felt the song flow through him and he began to hum.

[Pinkie]

Mizuki sat there and listened to the male as he began to hum. Mocing slightly he laid down with his head resting on the arm rest on the other side of the male so he could still watch what he was doing with a smile.

[littl3chocobo]

he put down the last of his lines and began the border, the hardest part but the most beautiful, all the parts started and fell back in on a single access, each whirl and loop tying it stronger he crossed the main section again from the corner careful not to touch the tip and trailed up the right side, without lifting the pen he turned the paper and continued curly-ques and waves to rebound the sight, catching the next corner the turned the page again still not lifting bends and dips and ripples to capture the sound, he turned again a final side mirroring the second but for a single line in reverse from the far edge it was not straight but rippled and bowed, it encompassed the entire sheet all the way back around untilhe came back to his starting line his hum became a song then two notes playing off of one another. he tied the two ends together. exhausted he placed the pen down and leaved back eyes closed. when he had regained his composure he gave the seal to the other. 'for your books' he did not smile 'it is not the same but it will keep you company' he dug out a charm and activated the seal, the foxes and dragons sprang to life on the page dancing and running through the page and around the broken seals 'it is made so that the magic will stay for a while after you stop feeding it' he took the charm away but the creatures played a few breaths longer before the enchantment left it. he waited for the man's response

[Pinkie]

Mizuki took the paper and looked at it watching as the dragons and foxes played together. Running around and jumping, biting, and turgging until the magic died and they ended up with the dragon curling around the fox keeping it protected and safe with the fox licking the dragons snout. It reminded him so much of himself and Luka.

Luka...the male that sat before him. Moving his head he placed a soft kiss on the males cheek before pulling back and lightly speaking into his ear "Thank you..." He said to him. It did mean alot. Those books, they were the last tied that he had to the one he loved...or had loved. Mizuki pulled back a little and looked to Luka waiting for a response.

[littl3chocobo]

to his credit he neither flinched nor drew in for another. he turned over his shoulder at the other. i have no more right than you to make someone cry

[Pinkie]

Mizuki then stood after a moment and went to his study with the parchment in hand before comming back and looking to Luka on the floor. Reaching a hand out he helped the other male up. "Come on...you must be hungry" He stated simply. "That...and your seal needs to be delt with again soon" MIzuki said before walking to the door almost stiffly.

[littl3chocobo]

he did not realize he was until the other said as much. he took the hand offered and followed silently. they already had their shoes and so simply left. mizuki in the lead and luka behind a reveres of their earlier trek. they went to the dining hall which had by now began it's supper set and took what they wanted. then silently they left again to make the return trip back to mizuki's home

[Pinkie]

They left and returned like nothing. No words were said and nothing was done. They simply grabbed what they had wanted and left and it was that simple. Upon returning Mizuki opened the door for the other then fallowed in after him. Though instead of simply sitting at the table and eating he looked to the male. "Come with me..." He said leading him out to the now diming back yard.

Setting his food on the table that was there he looked over then moved the bassen with the ashes over out of the way before returning. By now the sun was setting painting the sky different colors of oranges, reds, and purples. Mizuki then took the crystal off his neck and walked over to a tree that the table was purched up by.

Mizuki then placed his palm on the trunk of the tree holding the crystal to it before he began to speak in his native tongue. Then the flowers on the tree began to glow softly in the darkening night sky. The sakura blossoms dancing in the light breese. Some of the petals falling off around them glowing until they hit the ground.

[littl3chocobo]

he watched in awe as the tree burst into a glowing bloom fading white became a candy pink and radiated a light not unlike fairy's glow. the wind picked up several petals and the took off in the breeze, he sighed as the light of the blossoms each winked out one-by-ne a tree a-glimmer

[Pinkie]

With that Mizuki reached a gentle hand forward reaching out and taking out a glowing petal that fell and rested in the other males hair. Bringing his hand forward the petal rested in his hand before he turned a little and blowing softly letting the petal fall to the ground in a soft lingering light.
