    Summary

    "I'll what?" Mydei asks.

    "You'll—" Phainon's teeth are gritted. His breath comes in harsh pants. He takes a hit to the side, lands one to Mydei's face. "—Take me with you," he finishes. That's the moment when he falters, losing his balance after taking a knee to the gut, glaring furiously but not struggling when he finds himself pinned. His eyes, up close, are frightfully blue.

    "You're smiling," he says.

    Mydei smiles a little wider. "You'd be wise to assume I'm baring my teeth."

    Mydei fights monsters and travels alone. Emphasis on that last part. That is, until some village boy starts following him around, desperate to get stronger.

    Summary

    “The person who first lifts an unbound child — specifically after it has been ascertained that the child is orphaned — is now deemed their Bearer. It’s a symbolic guardianship, but legally binding until the child reaches a majority age or is reassigned to a stable household.”

    Phainon’s world as he knew it came to a careening halt.

    “Congratulations, Deliverer. You’re a father now.”

    a seemingly average rescue mission suddenly turns into a duty phainon never expected to shoulder. (mydei won't let him take this on alone, though.)

    Summary

    “You,” he states, and swallows. “You can… you can become him, right? You could… you could be Mydei. Just so I can practice. I’ll get it out, the whole thing, and you can, I don’t know, tell me if I sound like half the idiot that I feel like? Maybe?”

    Cipher watches him for a long moment. The alleyway is very quiet, an owl hooting somewhere overhead. “You want me,” she repeats slowly, “to become the man you love… so you can confess to me.”

    (cipher does not, in fact, transform into mydei. she just goes and gets the real one.)
