sisknowsbest & Riou bright_shield
Summary; The inevitable fallout from a month's worth of horrible curses and a sister's temporary death. If he couldn't escape the City, at least she would... whether she wanted to or not.
Log;
He dreamed of butterflies in an ever blooming garden and knew what it meant. Xanadu. It was probably his favorite part of the City and she... ran off here all the time, didn't she? Perhaps there were invisible patterns after all. Riou wandered arm in arm with his sister beneath trees tinted with the colors of autumn, enjoying the final moments of the day, and thought.
About the City and its curses. About how his wish to have a few more happy memories with his sister had caused her to see him in that state, resigned and cold-hearted, threatening to kill her. About the deity who had told him that a gateway back home for Nanami would be found in sleep. About what waited for him back home. There was no guarantee that he and Nanami were from the same timeline anymore. God knows he'd done everything in his power to disrupt it when Nanami had been in the City before her death at Rockaxe. This might be the last he'd ever see of her.
But there was no choice. He couldn't protect her here. She had died here once already! He hadn't been able to protect her over there either, but perhaps Jowy and that Riou-- whoever he was, himself or some other-- could do what he could not. She was happier there, at least. And it was still better, far better, than their last goodbye, when she had been dying in his arms.
And so he walked beside her in seeming idleness, with hidden purpose, and looked for a sign.
