[On the outskirts of town, a familiar figure can be seen kneeling beside a small stream. But this is certainly not the Fon Master most people are familiar with: the hem of his robes are stained red with blood and his eyes are empty, as though no light is reaching them.]

[Leaning over the running water, Ion reaches down to cup a handful to drink. He remains like that for a few moments, almost as though he was considering going into the running water himself...]

[But before he can make that decision, a pair of dark, ghostly hands shoot out from his own shadow and gently pull him back. Then, just as quickly as they had appeared, they fade back into the darkness. Ion doesn't even bat an eye at what had just occured, simply staring down at the water.]

[That is, until he notices you.]

[ooc: From the same universe as

replicasquared I give you yandere!Ion! AU information can be found here. He's not going to lash out right away, but he might be a little traumatizing for certain characters, so watch out for nightmare fuel! ~~And yes, I know I'm a horrible person for this.~~]

[Ion bites his lip and glances away, thinking of some way to explain this without really explaining this. Anise was finally calming down. To hear he developed a phobia of her after an alternate version of her tried on numerous occasions to kill him?]

[He couldn't do that to her right now... if ever.]

It's... it's nothing. [Yeah, that isn't going to work.] You know how people come from different worlds here? So similar but with... little changes, right?

[No, that doesn't work at all. Anise can sense his hesitation, and her fears begin to escalate. Was he really afraid of her? Why? Was his world so much worse off than hers? Or, Yulia forbid, did she hurt him somehow? And then that still left the other Ion, who seemed so hellbent on killing her, because of those shadowy things. Was that her fault, too?

Just how much grief she cause him?]

Y-Yeah... [Go on. She's listening, though hoping for better than what she assumes.]

Well, it's...

[And that's when an idea hits him. He hates lying to Anise, but if there was no harm in it, surely this would just be for the best. He's putting on his best pokerface here:]

From what I've gathered, my world is a bit different than others. Most things are the same, except... well, the Guy from my Auldrant isn't afraid of women.

[He'll have to apologize to Guy if he ever sees him again.]

...I-I am.

[Anise knows Ion well enough to know that something's up, but she's not thinking straight right now. She's jittery, and her mind is a fog of negative assumptions and horrific experiences. She can only believe her precious Ion's words to be true. And, what with his reaction before, it was a good excuse to believe.

She moves back, nodding that she understood.]

S-Sorry...I'll try not to touch you that much, Ion.

[Unlike with Guy, she'll actually keep that promise.]

[Perhaps it's simply because this Ion has been through so much more than most others that when he hears Anise say something like that, he blushes.]

Th-that... you don't have to... it's... s-something I'm trying to work past.

[Which was true. How pathetic it had been when he first arrived and could only stay in Anise's company with a good 3 meter distance between them? He was improving, slowly, but it was going to take more time.]

[And poor, oblivious Anise - her mind far from those kinds of thoughts - has no idea why her Fon Master suddenly seems so very red-faced. Hm...]

W-Well, it won't do at all if I cling to you or anything. I-I'll try my best to remember you're afraid. And I promise not to tease you like Guy, Ion. [You're different. Anise would feel bad if she teased Ion about his phobia.] Just let me know if you ever feel uncomfortable, okay? It's...it's the least I can do...

[Since, you know, Ion did kind of save her life.]
