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.]

[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.]

[orchidenchanted.livejournal.com]

.... he's still a puppy?

[stillderpy.livejournal.com]

Yeeeah, we. Don't know why either. But we like Dean as he is.

[Scratches his head, and youngerVen just looks down at the puppy in his arms]

[orchidenchanted.livejournal.com]

[Giggles a little.]

That's okay with me.

[stillderpy.livejournal.com]

Well, that's about everything. All of us are still together, so it's not so bad, even with all the Darkness.

[youngerVen is still visibly frowning though.]

[orchidenchanted.livejournal.com]

[Namine notices that, giving him a confused look.]

[stillderpy.livejournal.com]

[Sighs a little.]

Don't worry about it. It's not bad as you think. Half the time. He doesn't bother us that much.

... somehow.

[That should give a hint to who he's talking about.]

[stillsmelly.livejournal.com]

Don't worry...

[She crouches a bit to rest a hand on the younger Ven's shoulder.]

It'll be okay.

[deleo-amicus.livejournal.com]

... mm.

[All he can do is trust them, right?]

[stillsmelly.livejournal.com]

[She just ruffles his hair as the younger Namine notices the pregnant belly. She reaches out to touch it, and the older Namine just laughs.]
