been taught never to show signs of weakness… and he’d failed.

“Yes…” He reluctantly admitted. “‘Not long before I ended up here, I was in a battle. I’ve been patched up, but my body is still feeling the after effects of it all…”

“Yes, let’s eat.” He nodded and carefully picked up the utensils so he could enjoy the first bite. A contented sigh escaping afterwards. It had been a fairly long time since he’d enjoyed home cooked food.

“This is wonderful.” At the question, violet eyes were slightly guarded. He’d always —

There was definitely curiosity and attraction to the man he was with. He’d never given himself the chance to look at the other in any way other than professionally until now.

He saw now the whole of Tseng, and it intrigued him more than words could say.

carefully. Using the prosthetic to help lower himself. He had to be a bit careful since he was injured recently.

“Yes, I’m not surprised he did. But I am glad to have been able to encounter you again. When you left … things were different.”

that hand remained upon the prosthetic. He wished he could feel it, honestly. The warmth.

When they both were drawn back into the moment, he chuckled and nodded.

“Yes. Let’s finish dinner,” He murmured as he wandered over when called over, moving to sit down —

across pale cheeks as the other touched his arm, and those words that followed. No one had ever looked at it that way. It was so unique. So refreshing. Exhilarating even.

Violet eyes held dark ones for a moment. A slight, but positive, tension in the air (or so he felt).

He didn’t react when —
August 24, 2025 at 7:51 PM
“Yes. People can be afraid of how it functions, given the technology it uses… but people also pity the fact I lost my arm. They wonder how it happened … you can see it in their eyes.”

A rueful smile graced the normally severe man’s lips as he looked to Tseng. A light blush spreading —

“I drink on occasion. So I shall give it a go. As for Valentine’s Day, I spent it alone. Which suited me fine… I find it hard to open up these days. Trust issues from being so close to Ardyn.”

you have in the way of ingredients. I can cook relatively well, myself. So let’s make it a double effort. I used to have to cook for my little sister after our parents … passed on.” He looked briefly sad before following Tseng into the kitchen and looking to the bottle. —
April 22, 2025 at 9:04 PM
How kind of you.” His voice was fond as he spoke and he then nodded. “I shall listen intently to your direction when you are able to show me then.”

He then chuckled softly and shook his head with a little smile. “Oh, don’t worry about it. You cook the rice, and I’ll see what else -

“It was actually due to you looking at me for so long. It’s not something I’m used to, especially with company I enjoy, unless it’s a look of horror or pity due to this.” Ravus gestured to the prosthetic elegantly before smiling a little to Tseng. “Are you offering to be my teacher then? —
April 22, 2025 at 9:04 PM
— take advantage or be lazy, after all.” Plus he had a tendency to get restless.

— a good example of food from Wutai? Having been in the imperial army, I’ve eaten many things so I’m not a particularly fussy eater. Just please be patient if my chopsticks skill is less than perfect.” He nodded and moved over to the other.

“Would you like any assistance? I wouldn’t want to—

— self conscious. He was used to the looks, after all, the prosthetic was ornate and not everyone realised it was due to losing his arm.

Still, he coloured just a little, his cheeks a soft pink for a moment.

“Food?” He murmured thoughtfully as he was asked. “Perhaps something you’d consider —

“Other than the arm, you’d be entirely correct. I can quite happily disappear into it. Though I enjoy the cold anyway, when my body isn’t feeling sensitive towards it.” He chuckled. Ravus had briefly caught sight of Tseng staring but hadn’t said anything. He didn’t want to make him —
February 9, 2025 at 8:59 PM
— trousers. Practical but also comfortable to be in now.

“Where should I hang this?”
January 31, 2025 at 9:24 PM
—being as pragmatic as ever.

“I will, however, remove the coat anyway as it’s warming up.” He unbuckled it with care and then removed the prosthetic first so he could slide it off entirely, before refastening the prosthetic.

Beneath, the slender man wore a warm, black form-fitting shirt and his—

— my hair is also light.” He chuckled before smiling at the comment about removing the coat for the hot springs.

“I’m hungry, but I would hate to get any food in the hot spring. Should we eat first and then retire to warm ourselves? That way my body can relax and digest at the same time.” He’s —
January 31, 2025 at 9:24 PM
“Thank you, Tseng.” He slid the slippers on with care, he was going to do his best to follow the local customs he’d picked up.

“Indeed. Though I must admit I often enjoyed running through the snow as a boy. My mother always joked she’d struggle to find me, since I’m so pale and —

— exists, at the very least in our hearts, in all its glory.” He nodded.
January 31, 2025 at 9:18 PM
“You’re welcome.” The necklace was fastened with care, the man trying to use the prosthetic as little as possible as he knew how cold it ran and he didn’t want to cause her discomfort.

“I am sad it has taken damage but it is a chance for us to rebuild when the time is right. Tenebrae still —
January 31, 2025 at 9:18 PM
— my body can manage, hm?”
January 31, 2025 at 9:16 PM
— He nodded and took the offered hand, moving himself into a standing position and leaning on her lightly. He was lighter than before, he’d barely been eating and that had an impact on how the garments he wore lay upon him. Making it somewhat obvious he was thinner.

“Let’s get there as quickly as—
