[Peony entered town, trying to be as quiet as possible as he's heading on his way to his house. He tried to avoid as much people as he can, avoiding eye contact, because he doesn't want them to see he's holding a heavy bloody sword. His royal clothes are stained with blood. He hopes he can make it to his house without anyone asking him questions.

He does look exhausted and the look in his blue eyes look empty and haunted.]

[runs over when he sees him, really concerned]

What happened...?

[rappigdahouse.livejournal.com]

[O shi- it's a kid!

How to explain himself?]

Ah-hahaha, hey there kid. Nothing to see here.

[neissouchou.livejournal.com]

But there's blood everywhere... Jade's supposed to fight for you!

[rappigdahouse.livejournal.com]

[His hand trembled at the name, but he's the last Malkuth king. He has to keep his cool. He's a cool person after all.]

It's okay, kid. I'm a man too. I got my hands. I can fight.

[neissouchou.livejournal.com]

But you're the emperor... Jade said we're supposed to protect you!

[rappigdahouse.livejournal.com]

[Despite the condition he's in, he can't collapse in front of this kid.

And honestly, he's happy to hear what the kid is telling him.]

...Not from where I'm from.

[A deep sigh.]

Hey kid. Don't tell anyone.

[neissouchou.livejournal.com]

...But I have to... He's my commanding officer.

[rappigdahouse.livejournal.com]

Then, as your Emperor, I order you to don't tell any Jade here.

[His voice is strained as if he doesn't want to give any orders.]

[neissouchou.livejournal.com]

Then I'll just tell Master Saphir.

asdghk; SO LATE.

[notarappig.livejournal.com]

Busy night, Your Majesty?

asdfghjkl omg

[rappigdahouse.livejournal.com]

[Peony didn't expect a Jade watching him. He jolted, startled to having heard his voice and then breathed out a sigh of relief.]

W-what? Well, I guess you can say that.

I love you so much right now.

[notarappig.livejournal.com]

You should know that it's unwise to wander the streets at night, Your Majesty. Perhaps I should accompany you home, for your own protection?

[rappigdahouse.livejournal.com]

[This town is full of immature redhead kids. As if they're full of potential threat.

Still, no use arguing with Jade's Reasoning.

A very curt:] Sure. [Trying to sound good humored and march on, trying to act as if nothing is wrong with his Auldrant.] To my humble rappig ranch!

[notarappig.livejournal.com]

After you, sire.

Might I ask what you were doing out so late?

[rappigdahouse.livejournal.com]

I was in this world for a while. Then I figured a way back home...which isn't in good shape right now.

So, I just came back from my world.

[notarappig.livejournal.com]

...The Planet Score. It's becoming a reality in your world, isn't it?

[rappigdahouse.livejournal.com]

[Distantly as he stare up to the sky.] I wonder if there's any escape from the Closed Score...Malkuth is in ruins now and the only way for the Score to fulfill it's prophecy is to have the Kimlascan army stain my throne with my blood.

I thought I can go back and fight to make my last stand.

[Jade was just out for a stroll, and idly watching the rappigs. He manages to catch him before he's almost back to the house. He's been wondering where Peony ran off to without telling him.]

[So when he sees Peony carrying a sword, he's rather disoriented. Also, you're now going to be getting a scolding.]

... Peony... Really. You could have at least left a note, or do I not get the courtesy, anymore?

[rappigdahouse.livejournal.com]

[Stare at the blood. Stare at Jade. Blood. Jade. Blood. He needs to think up a good excuse.]

I-I'm sorry. [Is that a stutter?] I should leave a note.

[nocturnediviner.livejournal.com]

[Oh, he's noticed the blood. He's just building up to it.]

It's a bit late for that, now...

[He reaches out to grasp the other's chin and tilt it up.] ... Just what have you gotten yourself into...? You could have at least taken me with you for safety's sake. [He'd rather not have another Peony die on him...]

[rappigdahouse.livejournal.com]

[He pulls his face away and steps back, looking down at his own shoes also streaked with blood. He feels too dirty for him. His entire arm is trembling as he's gripping onto that broad sword.]

I went back to my world looking for you...war finally broke out.

[nocturnediviner.livejournal.com]

... You're as much of an idiot as Luke. [Too dirty? Look who you're standing next to, Peony. Jade moved closer, taking his hand and pulling the sword from his grasp to toss aside as he pulled him indoors, grasp oddly gentle.]

Don't ever do something so foolish again. ... [Somewhat more calmly and gentler:] I'll help to clean you up.

[rappigdahouse.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry. I was worried about you. That's all... [Takes his hand and as he's being pulled indoors, he fell forward and fainted from shock.]

[nocturnediviner.livejournal.com]

[He's quick to spin around and catch him before he hit the floor. Sighing, he held the emperor up, then shifted him to carry him over to the couch. Cut back on the sweets, will you?]

[He reaches down and slowly strokes the bangs away from his face, leaning over to press a quick kiss to his forehead before going off to find the first aid kit. Damnit, Peony.]

[rappigdahouse.livejournal.com]

[What are you calling me a fat rappig? >:|

Peony is going to sleep there, slipping into oblivion, but his face looks peaceful.]
