Ishgardian Hyur that really enjoys "garlic". // Semi RP
Alright... Must have dozed off. Where's Izumi?
November 29, 2025 at 3:16 AM
[ The sound alerted Regin, heading into the room ]

Izumi? Are you okay?
November 29, 2025 at 2:40 AM
[ The stroking felt nice, but as a result, it stirred Regin awake as well, looking up at Kieren groggily. ]

Mm...wha... time is it...
November 29, 2025 at 2:37 AM
[ Shuffle shuffle ]

Instead, Regin found himself slowly drifting off as well, he had been through it all today, the highest of highs, followed by an awful low.

Now, at the very least, he could join Izumi in a calm slumber, where nothing could harm them. ]
November 28, 2025 at 12:38 PM
[ Nothing but silence filled the home. Chilling and yet peaceful all the same.

Regin looked down at Izumi, fast asleep in his lap. His hand was continuing to glide through their hair, softly.

He contemplated reaching out to Kieren, but didn't want to do anything that could disturb Izumi's rest.

Alright, please rest well...

[ Regin placed his tea down, not entirely finished but it was cold at this point.

He didn't mind, Izumi's comfort was more important to him anyways.

He laid back on the sofa, and then absentmindedly stroked their hair, gently weaving his fingers through. ]
November 28, 2025 at 12:21 PM
[ A single nod from the Ishgardian ]

If that's what you want, then by all means.

[ He shuffled to the side of the couch to allow Izumi some room to sit by his side. ]
November 28, 2025 at 11:12 AM
[ Regin smiled and nodded at Izumi. ]

You will be more than welcome, and I'm sure Kieren wouldn't have an issue either.

If you'd like, I can set up a makeshift bed for you to rest up.
November 28, 2025 at 9:54 AM
I'd really rather you didn't... You've already been through enough.

I'm sure I'm just worrying for nothing...

[ His hands started fidgeting, but to alleviate his worry, he took a sip of his tea. ]
November 28, 2025 at 2:47 AM
Maybe further down the line I might not be able to participate...

That worries me, considering how long it will take, but I'm certain the world will be in good hands.
November 28, 2025 at 2:32 AM
Thos situation is eerily similar to a previous incident, involving an Ascian. They used magicks to look like me and... Impaled Kieren with a katana.

That's why I'm a little worried, but, like I said, he's capable, and he trusts that I can take care of myself right now.
--
November 28, 2025 at 2:32 AM
Ah... With that, it makes more sense as to why they should be left in the dark.

Hm... Hope Kieren hasn't ran into any trouble searching... I'd like to believe he'll be fine...

Although last time...

...No, no. He'll be fine.
November 28, 2025 at 2:22 AM
Very well, if that's what you wish. But I will have to speak to them about those clones...

They're too dangerous to be allowed to exist, even with their lack of independence and being on the island. One managed to be taken and used for terrible ends.

I can not permit that to happen again.
November 27, 2025 at 11:25 PM
[ He smiled at them before letting go and returning to the tea. ]

I'm going to need even more ice cream now...

[ He poured a cup for Izumi to enjoy, followed by his own cup.
He then carried both cups and some treats on a tray, over to Izumi. ]

Please help yourself.
November 27, 2025 at 10:58 PM
You've been hurt far too much recently, but I want to make sure you're safe.

I care for you deeply, Izumi.
November 27, 2025 at 10:43 PM
Don't be. Please...

I hate that they used my image to betray your feelings, to hurt you physically and emotionally. To...

Violate you.

[ Even stating it like that stung, causing Regin to hold them tighter, as a form of protection, despite them being in the safety of his own home ]
--
November 27, 2025 at 10:43 PM
If I had, then maybe he... He wouldn't have...

[ The Hyur couldn't help but cry alongside Izumi. ]

He won't hurt you again. He won't hurt you, me, Kieren, anyone.

I will protect all of you from that monster.

I promise.
November 27, 2025 at 10:24 PM
[ He stopped brewing the tea, and approached Izumi. Without saying a word, he leaned down and embraced them to comfort them.

He squeezed them tight, trying to avoid anywhere that was bruised. ]

I am so sorry Izumi... You... You didn't deserve that.

I wish I could have found you sooner.
--
November 27, 2025 at 10:24 PM
Take it you heard our initial discussion?

[ He started to prepare the tea for the both of them. ]

Well, after some... personal modifications, some private time and testing, its worked out.
November 27, 2025 at 10:11 PM
Private... Ah yes. Our plan.

[ His concern over Izumi's wellbeing had been on his mind so much, that he had already forgotten ]

You know, that's what spurred the call. You spoke to Kieren, mentioning how you and I spoke about it, that's what clued me in.

November 27, 2025 at 10:11 PM
[ Regin shook his head. ]

No, no... Please, allow me. Like I said, you're a guest. Take a seat, get comfortable.

[ He stood and walked to the kitchen. ]

Any kind you'd like in particular. Milk, sugar?
November 27, 2025 at 9:51 PM
And worst of all, that heinous act under the veneer of his own face.

He knew they had every right to be wary of him, and so he waited until they came out of the bathroom. ]
November 27, 2025 at 9:29 PM
[ The Ishgardian sat in the living room in silence. He quietly processed all that he could.

The clothing, bruises, the make up. The fact they couldn't look him in the eyes.

It all led to one sickening outcome. Regin breathed heavy, trying but failing to imagine what they had gone through
