κρύο-μοναξιά ▾

    After hearing the boy’s reason for rushing through SACRED GROUND, Kanon couldn’t help but throw a light expression of disappointment in the child’s direction.

     So… It was a race among the bronze brats through the temples? He should be offended by the boy’s audacity–however he can’t say that he hasn’t done something similar with Saga when they were children. It used to drive the Hoy Master insane. But those omitted memories aside, as a Gold Saint, he couldn’t allow such behavior to continue.

     An idea sparked in his mind about when should this boy cross the Gemini Temple. Yes, of course. He could activate the Labyrinth of the Twins from even the Papal Chambers; with such an intimate connection with the palace, Kanon didn’t need to expand his Cosmo from this far away (they weren’t even at the stairway leading to the House of Aries).

❝ Humph. Very well. ❞

     Kanon feigned disinterest for the folly of children, laying the act on thick by turning his eyes away from the Dragon Saint to stare laxly into the distance. However, if one should look closely, the slight crease at the corner of the Gemini’s eyes showed the mischievous that stalked within his mind–like a knavish fox waiting for the pray to unknowingly trot into his prank.

     He was the younger brother of the Gemini Saints, after all. He’d be an exact copy of Saga if he completely abolished his troublemaking desires–and being the ‘replacement’ of his brother was never a part of his nature. 

❝ Don’t let me get in your way. ❞

     Maybe if the kid asked for PERMISSION to pass Gemini Temple, he would be inclined to let the boy go through without being trapped… Maybe.

                                                                                Maybe  it  was  NAIVE  of  him  to  say  such  a  thing  so  openly  however,  if  there  was  something  wrong  in  what  they  were  doing,  Shiryu  would  haved  been  the  first  to  be  told  in  order  to  relay  the  message.  They  were  not  children  anymore–they  were  never  really  CHILDRENto  begin  with  (  WE’LL  NEVER  BE  THOSE  KIDS  AGAIN…  ).  Maybe  this  is  what  he  should’ve  picked  up  on–the  DISDAIN  for  the  child-like  antics.

                                                                                                Surely  anyone  else  in  their  respected  temples  would’ve  said  something  for  it  was  not  HEwho  suggested  the  sprint  in  the  first  place  nor  did  he  seem  to  stop  the  one  who  did.  Was  that  the  transgression?  Who  knows.  But  unlike  his  GUILT-FREE  comrade,  Shiryu  stilled  himself,  brows  narrowing  some  at  the  older  saint.  Why  not  leave?  Why—he  was  given  the  OK  to  go  was  he  not?  Logic  told  his  mind  &  body  to  go;  that  there  was  no  immediate  threat  here  (  Kanon  knew  better  this  time  around–bronze  did  not  mean  feebile  )  but  instinct  said  HALT.

                                                                                                It  was  not  hard  to  piece  together  just  WHAT  the  keeper  of  the  gemini  temple  was  after–for  anybody  else  respectfully.  Oh,  If  only  that  was  the  first  actual  thought  to  pop  in  his  head.  ❛  I’m  sorry  but,  have  I  DISRESPECTED  you  in  some  way?  ❜  tone  of  voice  went  from  light  &  friend  to  hold  a  slightly  more  guarded  roughness  to  it.  Picking  a  fight?  GODS  NO.  Do  not  mistake  his  guard  for  confrontation.  It  was  not  that  long  ago  when  both  saints  stood  on  the  opposing  ends  of  one  another,  ready  to  ANNIHILATE  each  other  for  their  own  purposes.  It  felt  like  a  world  ago;  time  told  different.

                                                                                                  Shiryu  attempted  to  remove  the  tone  from  his  voice.  There  was  no  need  for  a  fight  on  SACRED  GROUND.  Although  the  SANCTUARY  is  meant  for  those  to  train  &  be  better,  it  is  just  for  that—to  be  better.  Not  to  settle  any  ARBITRARY  score.
