[Building Up]

[Yuya returned from the mission against the daemons without a lot of fanfare, Odd-Eyes lumbering at his side. His arm was on the mend and fixed by the morning, so the only thing he really had to cope with in the aftermath was the phoenix.

It didn't follow very far, at first, although Yuya was still faintly aware of its presence. Over the course of the day it gets heavier, until Yuya's sure it's just outside the school grounds and he's having trouble focusing on his classes. Over the next few days, he's distracted and unfocused, frequently squinting and flinching and rubbing his head. Sometimes he stops what he's doing, books or his food slipping out of his hand as pain spikes through his head enough to almost make him black out on his feet.

Odd-Eyes hasn't been present around the dorms, either, and he suspects with the feelings tumbling through his head that he must be keeping the phoenix from getting closer. If just this close is making it so hard, how is he supposed to actually confront it?]


[Territory]

[After a few days, it starts to become intolerably worse. Fed up, Yuya doesn't think twice when he suddenly bolts out of class, or the cafeteria, running across the campus to where the grounds meet the forest--and where both his familiars are. Fighting, both of them crying out loudly as Odd-Eyes bites and shoves at the Phoenix in an attempt to keep it back.]

Stop! Stop it now, both of you!

[It's dangerous for anyone getting too close to the two of them battling, with neither being very attentive to anything but their personal tussle. For something that's happened on and off for a few days, maybe this isn't the first time you've seen this brawl. It's a little concerning, isn't it?]

[Confrontation | 19th]

[This isn't the most ideal way to learn to cope with it, but Yuya's become much better at separating both his familiar's thoughts and his own. And he realizes, he really owes the Phoenix a chance to talk after bringing them into the middle of a terrifying forest to fight and then just leaving.

So after calming and assuring Odd-Eyes, Yuya makes his way up to the Lumiere rooftop when his classes are over with his steps full of determination. That's where the phoenix has perched on the top of the fence, wings pulled in.]

[Michael likes Yuya well enough. He's come to enjoy most of the drama club in one way or another. Maybe a smaller group helps; he's not half so interested in the student body as a whole.

It's enough that he doesn't just laugh when he sees Yuya stumble and drop his books in the hall. Okay, he chuckles a little, but then he feels a bit bad about it, so he bends down to help pick some up.]


What's wrong with you?

Just get rid of one.

[He hands over the books he's gathered, then snaps his fingers.]

Fight to the death!

Confrontation

[Toki has, for the most part, been staying out of things. He watched half of what happened in the forest before he had to switch to the main hall group on the mission; but he'd seen the summoning of the phoenix. When they'd gotten back, Toki didn't ask questions, considering how annoyed Yuya had been when he'd asked about the nightmares. With his anti-magic experiment going on, Toki hasn't wanted to get too close on the off-chance something might interfere with the familiar bonding in any capacity.

Though, with Yuya's behavior the last few days, Toki doesn't want him going up to the roof alone. He's clearly having a hard time integrating the phoenix; and though leaving Odd-Eyes behind and dealing with the phoenix on its own is a good idea in theory, no one knows what will happen. So, Toki's followed Yuya up to the roof just in case. He knows where the closest emergency sigil is and he's prepared to abandon his orichalcum experiment and utilize the new fey powers if necessary to save Yuya from being attacked by the phoenix, if that worse case scenario were to happen; he's not sure if familiars turn on their summoners like that or not.]


Is it okay if I uh, observe? I'll stay by the door and out of the way!

[He already leaning against the roof door and he doesn't plan on leaving even if Yuya says no, really.]

Okay, then.

[He's trying to keep his voice down and not upset the phoenix. It's beautiful; golden and seeming to radiate its own light a bit. It's kind of mesmerizing, but he's wary and still on edge. Until he sees Yuya's going to be fine, the phoenix is a threat, however minor.]
eudaimonikos: (critique of pure reason)

[personal profile] eudaimonikos 2019-03-20 11:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Pretty sure you could.

[But okay, okay, he doesn't waaaaaant to.]

You can't just tell it to leave? [...] And stop summoning more?

[Adelaide spends a lot of her free time quite literally running around. Life is better in motion, she thinks, so she drags herself out of the dorms and out into the wild. Usually, that's okay.

Today does not seem to be all that usual. She's a little amazed by the sight before her - a dragon and a phoenix? That seems a little unreal, even for this place.

Oh. And there's another person, there.]


Hey! [She edges around the fight, trying to mind the creatures.] Be careful!

[So far, so good. The phoenix doesn't go after Yuya right away, so maybe it's listening. Toki stops himself short of encouraging Yuya; he can't interrupt. Even if it's incredibly hard not to. He hopes Yuya knows what he's doing.]

[...well, now it just feels weird to stand here and not help pick up books, so he guesses he'll do it again?]

That does sound like part of the problem. Any reason why not?
eudaimonikos: (fear and trembling)

[personal profile] eudaimonikos 2019-03-21 01:11 am (UTC)(link)
...but it's bound to you. I don't like everybody that summons me, but that doesn't let me cross wards to get at them.
eudaimonikos: (start over again and again)

[personal profile] eudaimonikos 2019-03-21 01:28 am (UTC)(link)
There can be. No one would summon daemons otherwise - too much risk we'd just decide to up and kill you right there. I'm sure they have classes on that.

[As a matter of general principle, he hasn't been walking around teaching people how to do it himself. If they learn elsewhere, fine, but handing out the keys to binding him would be too much.]

[Oh, geez.

Adelaide shoots him a concerned look, inching closer to him.]


This really doesn't seem okay!

[Michael would give at least that much advice: don't summon daemons.]

Think the two of you could take it out, if it is unfriendly?

[Toki remembers first meeting Odd-Eyes at the banquet. At that time, Yuya and the dragon seemed perfectly in sync and sort of even having a friendly relationship. Now, he's wondering if this is what it was like with Odd-Eyes at first too. The phoenix maybe just has to get used to the bond, like Yuya does himself. Toki had brought up the idea of familiars being parasitic when he talked with one of the newer students a couple weeks ago, but he doesn't think that's really accurate; it's more symbiotic, he supposes. It's fascinating in a way, to watch Yuya have this entire conversation with the phoenix, when the bird just sounds like it's screeching and trilling oddly.

When the phoenix jumps down from the fence, Toki's back on guard and waiting for it to attack still; he's probably a bit too paranoid. He shifts from leaning against the door to some awkward stance, half ready to intervene if necessary. He's not good at this.]
