[Takame had given Ei relative space. He did not know or care who this Black Order Guardian was and only kept his distance from her to see that Ei's departure was done safely. He'd love nothing more than to spill that woman's blood.
But it has been to long with no contact. He was worried for his love's family, worried in general.
So he sought her out, taking an entire day to scour the city for any sign of her if not for her elemental presence that struck him like her represented element. It was outside of this newly appeared... Far Eastern looking estate that he found her, thankfully not needing to trespass though with his stealth ability he would have done so anyway.
He approached her silently, only gently announcing his presence with his voice and keeping to Japanese to maintain some level of privacy with a language barrier.]
[Ei had been keeping to herself for the last little bit. With Teresa hastening her departure from the Order, she thought it would be best.]
[She did leave Yusuke a note, but she could understand any worry. Regardless of how her cousin felt, though, she needed some time to think for herself.]
[Ei may have voluntarily chosen to be forgotten, but that didn’t erase decades of holding tight to the past in this life, nor did it erase the eons that she sought eternity in her past life.]
[When Takame finds Ei, she’s wearing some of Ayato’s I’ll-fitting clothes. She looks genuinely surprised.]
[Takame knew very little of Ei's past life, he knew little about just how big of a change this was for her. To erase herself from existence. Even the concept of such a thing was... a frightening thought. But even not knowing to a full extent, Takame's tone was soft. He only spoke his first language at home with Yusuke, but he sounded less rigid with it.]
[Ei doesn't know Takame very well, but she knows him well enough to know that this is his kindness. So she'll offer him a smile in response. It's small, considering all that she's been through, but it's a smile all the same.]
Yes. Kamisato Ayato was a trusted retainer in my past life. He was kind enough to care for me here.
I had meant to have a more lengthy discussion with my cousin before I departed the Order. Unfortunately, Agent Hawthorne's appearance expedited manners.
... You had your reasons. I do not believe he would blame you for them, nor would I.
[Yusuke had no reason to bother with Guardian Hathorne and Takame had kept his distance for fear that he'd do something reckless. Ever since last August he'd felt his temper fray so much easier.]
Still... he would want to know you are safe, Ei-san.
[Ei gives Takame a warm smile. It makes her happy, to see someone who cares for her cousin so.]
Then please tell him you saw me today. Once all of this is sorted, I will go see him myself. In the meantime, I could not abide her targeting either of you because I happened to be nearby.
[He's quiet for a bit. Yusuke would like to hear it from Ei herself... but he understood not wanting to put him in danger. It was the entire reason he was staying out of the situation in the first place.
He loves Yusuke... with everything he is. He could not bear it if something happened to him.]
Mm. I understand... I will tell him I spoke with you and that you are safe.
[...]
... Are you being well taken care of by this Ayato? Have you been eating well? [He has to ask cause this goddamn family.]
[Ei smiles again. It's good to see someone taking such good care of her cousin.]
Yes, Ayato makes sure that I am fed. Unfortunately, the situation with Teresa necessitates that I do not order food to the estate, but I am making due.

I am here with my coworkers.
I believe we call this...a "work outing?"

Oh. The dragon is another god, isn't he?
no subject
But, as he did so of his own volition--
Yes, that would be correct. He was once known as Rex Lapis, although now he goes by Zhongli.

I am sure that, if he is "feeding his pocket," it is for a reason.

He would have to thank this Ayato later.]
I see. I am glad he is taking good care of you.
