Hello~!

[Soon as the feed becomes clear, Oz appears wearing a smile and seeming MUCH more chipper than he had been a few weeks back. Granted his wounds are still healing but he can't keep quiet anymore as he's been rather restless and with things that he's learned, he has to comment on it]

So... This whole dreamwalker training thing sounds kinda neat if you ask me~

[A bright, cheery grin]

...Oh! I'm doing much better than I was last time~. Though i'm really getting tired of just sitting around not doing anything while i'm like this... [He huffs softly and looks away for a moment, putting a hand to his shoulder briefly]

Which reminds me.

I want to learn how to use a sword.

Is there anyone who can teach me~?




Hey.

There's something I need to talk with you about so please get back to me when you can, alright~?

[nightraysewerat]

With me?

[Oh, he's so amused. He can think of very few reasons Oz would ever want to speak to him, and well... he can guess which one.]

To what do I owe the pleasure?

[snapekillsedgar.livejournal.com]

... You too?

[The Vessalius family were all suddenly becoming swordsman.]

[disinherits]

And here I thought the Vessalius house preached nonviolence. What on earth will a child like you do with a sword?

[his ears are perky since he's curious about this over the top smile of joy you had] Why does niichaan want to play with swords?

Well... I was talking to my sister a little before you arrived and she told me something very interesting~

[A tilt of his head and that smile's in place again]

She told me you two are dating. Is this true~?

[substrictus.livejournal.com]

[blink blink]

Eh? Ada's asked for the same thing as me?

[He's never pictured his sister as someone who wanted to know how to use those kinda of things, so he's fairly surprised]

[substrictus.livejournal.com]

We do~

[A pause lingered after that]

I want to learn to defend myself against my enemies instead of relying on others to help me all the time.

Re: [Private | Video]

[nightraysewerat]

Ahhh.

[Well, of course, it would be about this. And while Vincent would love to assure Oz that he'll just stay away from his sister from now on, that won't really work. He might still find use for her, somehow.]

It is. Surely you can understand why it wasn't common knowledge. There are so many problems between our houses.

[substrictus.livejournal.com]

[There's a small pause thats followed by a small laugh and his smile never dissipates]

I'd like to learn how to use one so if I get in a fight that I could handle myself without depending on everyone else all the time.

[smokinfighter.livejournal.com]

So you're weak.

[Private | Video]

[substrictus.livejournal.com]

Ah... yes. I know~

Though it's more to it that i'm worried about.

[His smile falters visibly]

I want you to know that if you ever hurt a hair on my sister's head then you'll come to regret it.

[substrictus.livejournal.com]

...W-Well I wouldn't put it like that but... it's something like that I suppose.

I want to fix it so i'm not like that anymore.

[smokinfighter.livejournal.com]

Good luck, Niichan.

Re: [Private | Video]

[nightraysewerat]

When she spoke to you about me, did she seem concerned I would harm her?

[substrictus.livejournal.com]

Aah Thank you~~

[smokinfighter.livejournal.com]

[he just nods, his long tail swishing into view for a second]

Love can be very blinding.

I don't think she knows who you really are. If she did I don't believe she'd be so quick to love you like she does.

[Ohhh he hates that his sister loves you. More than anything]

Re: [Private | Video]

[nightraysewerat]

You sound very confident that you know who I really am. Do you, young Vessalius?

[He doesn't think you do. At all.]

[Private | Video]

[substrictus.livejournal.com]

I have a good idea~

[He's going by what he knows plus his gut feeling that he's gotten everytime he's spent time around Vincent]

Re: [Private | Video]

[nightraysewerat]

I think that's a little unfair to your sister, Oz. She's had plenty of time to get to know me, and I have never caused her harm. Perhaps you should be a little more respectful of her.

[Yep, he's going to turn this around on Oz the bad brother.]

[Private | Video]

[substrictus.livejournal.com]

...I... T-This has nothing to do with that!

I'm plenty respectful to my own sister. I just... don't trust her with you.

[yeaaah way to make him feel crappy there, Vincent]

Re: [Private | Video]

[nightraysewerat]

Right now, you are not respecting her judgement on a topic she knows better than you do. Think about that carefully.

[He seems to be taking this quite seriously now.]

She deserves better, Oz.

[unsureazure.livejournal.com]

[Noel seems to be doing at lot better too, evident by how she manages to smile sheepishly.]

A sword...? Maybe you could ask Elliot? And maybe once you get the hang of things, we can, um... spar sometime...

[Private | Video]

[substrictus.livejournal.com]

It's not like that. We see you from different perspectives. It's not that i'm not respecting her judgment at all.

[Oz's voice has darkened to match his expression]

...Deserves better? What are you talking about?

[snapekillsedgar.livejournal.com]

She already had her first lesson.
