EnsTren: *pets angsty seth*
Edmondia:
Edmondia: chibi-chibi-Seth can't pronounce 'dragon' properly
EnsTren: dwagieon?
Edmondia: dwagon, yeah
Edmondia: apparently his 'hikawi' is one
Edmondia: ...I really adore chibi-Seth.
EnsTren: really?
Edmondia: Yup.
EnsTren: I can see Seth being upset in the morning and
walking around and no one's looking for him
Edmondia: I think the healers would look for him
Edmondia: ie, 'Oh crap he's missing the prince is going to eat
us!'
EnsTren: self preservation
EnsTren: but I still see him as being sad
Edmondia: sad because they're only looking for him because
of Atemu
Edmondia: but at the same time happy that the two of them
can provoke that sort of reaction
EnsTren: he's only allowed to stay because of Atemu and
being related to the royal family
EnsTren: oddly I'm seeing Atemu's father as seeing Seth
maybe only a little like a nephew, but more like...
EnsTren: he attracts bad luck but he's attracting my
son's bad luck so Atemu won't get hurt
EnsTren: or perhaps some other people see it that way
Edmondia: Akunamukanon is actually quite a nice guy...
Edmondia: I see him looking with a bit of affection at Seth,
actually
EnsTren: I wonder how he felt when I had Seth go off in
that post traumatic stress tangent
Edmondia: Upset and worried.
Edmondia: Wondering how to make him feel better.
Edmondia: And, I think, wondering how this experience
would effect Seth in the future.
Edmondia: he does grow up into one cold-hearted sonofabitch
EnsTren: at least he isn't Bakura
EnsTren: he's being... feral in my head
EnsTren: Atemu likes how now that Seth's arms are
stronger he can pick him up to reach the high tables for
EnsTren: stronger because he was mostly pulling himself
around with them
the bandits were... casually cruel as well, I think
Edmondia: not exactly the most refined men ever
Edmondia: I figured they snatched a few young harem girls
too
EnsTren: throwing rocks or bones at him, kicking sand at
him, not nice at all
Edmondia: ...who probably didn't survive
EnsTren: Atemu killed them too?
Edmondia: internal hemmorhaging, miscarriages, escape
attempts...
Edmondia: Atemu wouldn't kill an innocent
Edmondia: he's very like his daddy that way
EnsTren: yes
Edmondia: *hugs Akunamukanon*
EnsTren: so Seth is a bit feral in my mind, nervous and
doesn't like being seen much
Edmondia: but he has to get used to it eventually
EnsTren: he will
EnsTren: he's just... edgy
Edmondia: but as a chibi... definitely skittish
EnsTren: really hates the guards, and fears them
EnsTren: even Akunamukanon makes him nervous
sometimes
EnsTren: and he likes Akunamukanon
Edmondia: authority figures and adults
EnsTren: sweaty stinky males
Edmondia: he likes baths
Edmondia: part of the reason he likes fussing over Seto so
much in the shower
EnsTren: oh yes, the Egyptians loved being clean, and
him more so
EnsTren: if a guard was to pick him up I think he'd be
scared witless into screaming or doing something
Edmondia: he's about the right height for a kick in the 'nads
EnsTren: if it was someone he couldn't do anything
against, say Akunamukanon, people might think he passed
out
Edmondia: actually, Akunamukanon was considering picking them both up and tucking them in
EnsTren: Seth would have scared both Atemu and Aku (I
am not typing his name damn it!) by doing that
EnsTren: imagine daddy pick you and your sick best
friend up and your sick best friend apparently passes out
Edmondia: spazzy at daddy
Edmondia: "Papa, what did you DO?!"
EnsTren: that's so cute but so sad at the same time
EnsTren: but really an adult male picking him up and
putting him in bed will not make for a good reaction
Edmondia: I know
Edmondia: that's why he didn't do it, I think
EnsTren: *pets him* smart man
Edmondia: indeed.
Edmondia: ...hm, another thing to think about.
Edmondia: why he so readily hopped into bed with Seto
Edmondia: Seto = nearly identical = Seth = no threat
Edmondia: also why he was so quick to accept Yugi
EnsTren: tiny can't hurt me
EnsTren: and like Atemu
EnsTren: who is also tiny
EnsTren: Seth is spazzing in my head in the Aku did pick
them up tangent
EnsTren: as soon as he was tucked into bed and Akunadin stood back, he dashed out of bed and over to a shaded
corner, nearly hyperventilating, eyes darting and rolling
around before taking the closest exit
Edmondia: somehow I have visions of Atemu learning
football moves before football was invented
Edmondia: flying tackle
EnsTren: and Seth crying and still trying to get away
Edmondia: and Atemu not letting him
EnsTren: bleeding again because running opened up his
wounds, trying to cover himself with his hands and arms
Edmondia: aaaaaaaaaaaand right about then the pharaoh
bellows for the healers
EnsTren: and Seth flinches again and then just... goes
limp
Edmondia: And Atemu just sits there quietly with him, and
even when the healers run in and start to fuss, he doesn't let go
EnsTren: Why is his cousin being sick like this?
EnsTren: Why did he run away from him and papa?
Edmondia: And why isn't anyone answering his questions?
EnsTren: Why do Seth's eyes look worse than the
servants'? All wide and white around the iris and the black
so open in the middle.
Edmondia: And why doesn't he hug back?
EnsTren: Why doesn't he hold onto his hand?
Edmondia: Why can't he feel him?
EnsTren: Was he dead? No, the healers were only
fussing.
EnsTren: He went over and tugged on his father's hand,
asking why Seth was so hurt?
Edmondia: Akunamukanon hugged him very, very tightly.
