[closed] You've Been Up And Down Down

[outlawrain]

WHO: Moses Sandor and Cu Chulainn
WHERE: Nonah
WHEN: March 17th
WHAT: It's time for Moses to come home.
WARNINGS: None



For Moses, returning back to the Red Branch wasn't even on his mind. He left with no notice, no words, nothing to Cu, and had probably worried the man to death. But there was shame in his heart and his mind. He couldn't stay there in good faith. Inumata, as he had learned, had done this not in his right mind but it was Moses who was paying the cost for that whole debacle. What would Cu Chulainn say? What would anyone say about it?

He wasn't sure if he was ready to face it. He knew he had to be a man but he had to get his own thoughts sorted out before he felt truly ready to call himself that. This wasn't the same as back hoem. Back home, everyone knew. Everyone saw what he could do. And here, he just looked like a damn fool most of the time. At least that's how he could feel.

He was more than just a fool.

Today, he left Gamagori's house and was sitting down at a park bench, watching the dogs roaming around and seeing them play. Maybe... he should try to adopt one. One that got along with Cu's wolves. Whenever he went back. But he wasn't sure when that was. "Shit... I wish Will was here." He grumbled, leaning back against the bench. "Or someone who could help me."

Frankly. He didn't want to be alone anymore.

As if Moses had used a command spell when he voiced his wish, suddenly a cloud of blue and sliver light motes suddenly flare into life beside him on the bench and coalesce into his spirit Cu. Arms over the back of the bench, leaning leisurely low in his spot.

When he speaks he doesn't look at Moses, and his tone is one of distant boredom.

"You know if ya' needed some time off, ya' coulda' just asked." He closes his eyes and shrugs despite his posture. "I figure that's what you needed, cause if you're trying to hide from me, that's kind of a futile venture."

[outlawrain]

He's not prepared for it, how can you even possibly be prepared for some guy just appearing beside you. Even if it is his servant. He nearly freaks out before he sees the guy. "C... Cu?! How didja..." Of course he knew how, he wasn't stupid. That was their connection together as master and servant.

Didn't make him feel much better.

"...Sorry, it was... kinda last minute..." He looked down and bit his lip. "Somethin' came up on the network and I jus'... wasn't thinking and wanted to be as far away from everythin' else as possible until I figured it out." Shaking his head. "...Thinkin' about it, I didn't make the brightest move, did I?"

[lucke]

"You did what you thought was right at the time. Nobody can fault you for that." Cu shrugs. He wasn't the type to rub someone's nose in a mistake, especially when they admitted it.

"But you really need to keep your guard up. With our pact, you should have felt me coming a ways off, even in spirit form." He said, jabbing him playfully in the shoulder with a finger. Trying to keep it light.

[outlawrain]

"Mmm..." No one except Moses himself. Who really feels in trouble now that he has Cu trying to talk to him about it. He looks towards the man, not looking so light himself. He let's out a low little sigh. "...I made a lotta mistakes back home, I don't think I told you." He shakes his head. "And someone jus'... showed it all over the network. So I was just really ashamed and needed some time alone."

Cu looks back at Moses, quiet for a moment. Even. When he does speak again it's a soft tone, but not without it's ice.

"They did, did they?" He looks up into the air for moment, his bangs catching a bit of a breeze.

"Who was this?"

[outlawrain]

"Uh, Inumata. They said he was under some sorta hypnosis when he did it." He shrugs his shoulders. "I ain't mad at him, I guess. I just wish he didn't pull that sorta shit, y'know?" He shakes his head.

"Whatever. People don't like me, I guess, if I'm so bad that they've gotta be scare of me."

[lucke]

Cu frowns.

"Now what the heck does that mean? Why would anybody dislike you? What could you have done that was so bad in everyone's eyes?"

[outlawrain]

"...Well, what they were told was that I kidnapped people and caused problems and forced... dogs to attack people."

He looked at Cu. "And I did the first two things but... I would never make an animal hurt a person like that. I don't boss animals around like that, and you know I don't!"
