born from sleep

[In the Land of Departure room, a Ven is curled up on one of the white seats in the training grounds, fast asleep. This wouldn't be such an uncommon sight if it weren't for the fact that well.

He's in his thirties.

Waking him up would be a good idea though, given several Floods have just appeared and circled around him.]

Yeah, but I still like playing as your Knight in Shining Armor sometimes.

[:D Nope, cheesiness is something he will never outgrow.]

[She laughs a little and rests her head against him.]

I know you do.

[stillderpy.livejournal.com]

I miss the days I can play the hero.

[Kisses her forehead. Aha, their old corridor. They should get a room near to it.]

[stillsmelly.livejournal.com]

Well maybe I'll just have to be in over my head sometime, then.

[They should!]

[orchidenchanted.livejournal.com]

Uhm.

[Says the girl staring at you with a confused look. Well you did say they were in their old corridor.]

[stillderpy.livejournal.com]

...

[... well then. There's a soft smile on his face as he drops the arm around his wife, but to hold her hand instead.

Smiles down at Namine.]

Hey, Namine.

[orchidenchanted.livejournal.com]

[She's a little speechless, considering she never thought that would happen... so Namine just turns and calls into the room for the other one--]

Ven... can you come out here?

[deleo-amicus.livejournal.com]

What--

[What what-- Steps out--

._.

Yeah, he's just staring too, Dean in his arms because he was playing with him.]

[stillderpy.livejournal.com]

OKay, I definitely don't remember meeting our older selves in the past. Did something happen to our memory, or is this one of those paradoxical things?

[Scratches his head.]

[orchidenchanted.livejournal.com]

[She steps over and stays close to him, staring too.]

Are you really from the... future?

[stillderpy.livejournal.com]

Last time I checked, uh, yeah.

[Gives Dean some head pats while Ven just stares ._.]

[orchidenchanted.livejournal.com]

But...

[How can she put this...]

The real future? With Liana and Austin and everyone else?

[stillderpy.livejournal.com]

Mhm.

... I guess there's a reason for you to be really surprised, huh.

[And he looks apologetic.]

[orchidenchanted.livejournal.com]

[She nods, clinging to her Ven's arm.]

I'm relieved.

[deleo-amicus.livejournal.com]

But, I don't get it, what about--

[Older him cuts him off by whispering something in his ear. Watch as Ven's expression goes back to " ._. "]

[orchidenchanted.livejournal.com]

What? What is it?

[stillderpy.livejournal.com]

It's nothing. The less you guys know, the better. Sometimes it's fun to get surprised.

[orchidenchanted.livejournal.com]

But--

[Pouts. no fair you told him :<]

[stillderpy.livejournal.com]

[He walks over to her and pets her hair a little. Geez, you're as old as my eldest daughter :>]

Trust me, Namine.

[orchidenchanted.livejournal.com]

[Still pouts at him.]

[stillderpy.livejournal.com]

Come on, don't pout at me like that. I promise, you'll find out about it someday.

[orchidenchanted.livejournal.com]

[She nods and just rests her head on Ven's shoulder.]

[stillderpy.livejournal.com]

Anything else you wanna ask?

[orchidenchanted.livejournal.com]

... where's Dean?

[stillderpy.livejournal.com]

Probably still back there. But since it looks like we're being pulled in here all together, I'm not that worried. Besides, we got friends back there who can watch over him. And he's a strong puppy.

[Lololol puppy.]
