Time for SMOOCHES (open CMO post)

[maplepancakes]

Yeah just pick someone from my muselist and tag in here for some hot kissing action. Assumed CR, AUs, etc. are all fine.

R-Right, yes. [ she takes a step back and tries to get a better look st who she bumped into. A diviner, like Hayato...? But he seems kind of different.]

I was a bit distracted. My apologies again, sir.

[guileturncoat]

[He is indeed a diviner, but he is also a massive nerd, complete with glasses and everything. That could be what makes him look different.}

It's alright, Miss...?

[He trails off there, waiting for Azura to give her name.]

[prayerwheel]

[ Is he wearing the outfit, though, in all of its questionable glory? Has John fully embraced the Fates aesthetic of Please Wear More Clothes, in this universe? This is vital information.

But ah, glasses. And those...unfortunate teeth... he sticks out like a sore thumb around here, she guesses. ]

Azura. Of Lady Corrin's army.

[ a little bow ]

[guileturncoat]

[Thankfully no, he's slightly more modest about his appearance than that fake-shirt. Being a named character means he gets a unique outfit.]

Well hello there, Miss Azura! I'm John, of the Wind Tribe. Though I bet you could guess that last part, huh?

[Since anybody not in Corrin's army is a member of the Wind Tribe and all.]

[prayerwheel]

[ Huh. He's pretty friendly. Azura blinks at him for a second before--it clicks. Oh. He wants to keep talking with her. She'd expected someone from the Wind Tribe to just brush her off, like the others had done. ]

Aha. No, I don't think we've picked up any secret recruits. [ since she's more or less corrin's #2 ] It's...my pleasure. [ a slight smile. ]

[guileturncoat]

[It definitely is odd, given what had happened recently, and John definitely notices her hesitation. Which is why he decides to speak up and explain.]

I don't hold it against you guys, you know. I'm sad my friends died, but it's not your fault.

[prayerwheel]

You're much more forgiving than the majority of your kinsmen. [ a forced smile ] But, ah, we'll be out of your hair tomorrow, anyway.

[guileturncoat]

Moving on so soon?

[He understands why they would want to leave quickly, but part of him is curious to hear if there's another reason too. He had heard Hayato was to travel with them, and he wants to know more about it.]

[prayerwheel]

We have business in Izumo that we need to quickly attend to.

[ a pause, and a smile ]

Unless you happen to know about the Seal of Flames and can spare us the trip.

[ Fuuga had only been able to tell them so much--that it was the key to deicidal power, and Corrin's sword was connected to it.

But Izana supposedly knew more ]

[guileturncoat]

Unfortunately, I don't know anything about it. I'm a wind-guy.

[Since he's wind tribe and all.]

But, um, maybe I can help on the trip over? Like, I trust Hayato to help you guys, but two extra sets of hands is better than one, right?

[prayerwheel]

I can see that.

[ a little laugh. Huh. This guy was weirdly easy to talk to. ]

Hmmm. I'll have to check with Corrin, of course, but I can't see her saying no to another ally. I'm curious, though, what makes you so concerned about our trip?

[windyheir]

If you're up against a powerful sorcerer who can trick your eyes, then you're gonna need all the help you can get.

[Short and to the point, really. He doesn't want Hayato, or anyone else, to die from another mistake like this. Not if he can do something about it.]

[prayerwheel]

He's only a piece of the greater puzzle, I'm afraid. [ he was only one of Garon's lackeys, and they're facing an actual murderous dragon god.

raising her eyebrows ] Do you still want to go, knowing that?
