1x1 - Zelly & Anime

((I wish you luck picking a favorite character. Baccano is one of those series with too many chars, most of them of the awesome variety, to pick a single fave. I have three. XD ))

"So any idea where Kai went off to?" Van asked as he sat down to eat.

 

[M3Gnificent]

"Last time I saw him be was trying to pull off making a quick buck in Cicipelli." Larai said after a moment of thought. Cicipelli was a known den of sin and gambling. "I pissed him off when he tried to swindle me and I swindled back. It was kind of funny though."

 

[Zelly-fangirl]

"And I was hoping you two would stick to swindling others and not each other..." Van said with a sigh. If their kids were going to be thieves and conmen, he was hoping they'd at least have some sort of truce between them.

Mala remained awfully quiet as she sat on the coutch, horrified as it was since Kai was anywhere near Cicipelli to begin with!

"It was a one time thing and be didn't recognize me until afterwards, if it's any consolance."

 

[Zelly-fangirl]

"I'll make sure to have a talk with him when he shows up. If he's conning family, lord knows what he'll get into next." Van said, hoping Kai didn't move on to more extreme crime or join a quote-on-quote "family". "Stealing is one thing, mobsters are another."

 

[M3Gnificent]

"He's not that stupid, I should think." Larai said confidently, willing to defend her brother in such a case. She felt she knew Kai better than that.

 

[Zelly-fangirl]

"Let's hope so. He's out of luck if he comes crying home with a finger lopped off as a warning or something." Van said. With his powers gone into the ether and Mala always the anti-healer that she was, paranoia about any harm coming to their next child was bound to ensue.

 

[M3Gnificent]

Mala whimpered softly, looking even more despaired than before.

Larai saw Mala silently freaking out and went over to her side, gazing up at Van now. "We should change the subject unless we want mom having a heart attack or something."

 

[Zelly-fangirl]

"Right, right; sorry..." Van said getting up to sit on the other side of Mala and put a comforting arm around her shoulders and a kiss on the cheek.

 

[M3Gnificent]

"My baby...all defiled and fingerless..." Mala mumbled softly, the imagine haunting her all too much. "Not my precious baby boy.."

 

[Zelly-fangirl]

"Mala, this is Kai we're talking about. I trained him myself, I'm sure he's fine." Van assured her softly. "Plus he probably still has all his power while most people have given up on magic by now."

 

[M3Gnificent]

"Maybe, but I don't want those Cicipelli whores touching my precious little baby boy!" Mala said, tears almost welling up in her eyes.

 

[Zelly-fangirl]

"Kai can take care of himself and he's not some pervert like Jaquel used to be. I'm sure he's just fine." Van said hugging her.

((Zelly needs foodstuffs. I'll try to be back before I have to go to class.))

 

[M3Gnificent]

"True..." Mala muttured quietly, pulling her husband and daughter a little closer to hug them both. "He'll be just fine, I hope."

{See you when you get back online.}

((Damn you Tully's Coffee and your delicious blended drinks! *slurps on Caramel Swirl. the italics are for fancyness you see*))

Speak of the devil, Kai had been making his way through the ruins that were his home after needing to make a quick escape from Cicipelli. Boredly kicking at rocks as he went, one of those stray rocks hit what was left of the ruined temple of Atius. Horribly weakened over a thousand years, the crumbling supports gave way and threatened to crush the god's child. "GAH!!!" Of course, Kai was faster on his feet than Riley had been from so long ago and managed to avoid winding up under the pile of rubble like his uncle.
