You awaken amidst the darkness with only a faint light to greet you. Your body is hemmed in by shards of crystals, gently sparkling and possibly pricking your skin. The surrounding landscape is dyed in the pinks and purples of the dusk filled with crystals protruding from the ground, some as large as a skyscraper. After an hour or two of wandering through the crystal wilderness, a group of people find you worse for wear. They are the gallant Moon Knights from the planet of Prismatica. Because of the strange phenomena during the past months when scientists observed the sudden appearance of rainbow crystals in the sky, the government has been feverishly combing through the moon for more Moonblessed to be rescued. You’ll eventually be brought into Iris’s moon government center.

You all may have your usual inquiries — Where are we? Who are you? What's going on? — and the Prismals are almost too eager to answer. They tell you about their world and about the first appearance of the Moonblessed as the medical staff give you an examination to make sure you’re not carrying any viruses or biological hazards. If you react violently, you may be restrained and nerfed with a specialized neurotransmitting gun that releases a numbing agent through the top of your spine. Once the examinations are over, you’re informed that you will be provided accommodations on their planet during your stay. You will then be escorted to the docks, and led onto a large transport vessel that makes frequent trips back and forth between the Iris moon and the planet. Faces onboard vary from both old and new Moonblessed as well as the local Prismals.

The next destination: Prismatica.

▶ There and Back Again
Iris Moon, Government Center (Arrival) and Planet Prismatica, City of Lunatia | top

Welcome to Prismatica’s hub, Lunatia, the city of your dreams! A bustling metropolis lush with bright lights, vibrant colors, luxuriant plant life, and all the conveniences of technology absent from your own world… It seems like paradise to all the uninitiated. After a quick tour of the city, new arrivals can find themselves getting cozy in their new homes.

A Settle in your new home at Level 2 to find new roommates and say hello to your neighbors! City officials will give you directions to the designated districts across Level 2 and instruct you to pick out a unit. Each apartment complex has a different aesthetic, some may look cozy, some stylish, and some bizarre. The free accommodations have a basic living space that can only fit two or three people at most in one unit.

Starter Chromaspace furnishings are provided which can be controlled with the touch of a built-in panel. Examples are color-changing curtains, transforming sofa beds, cabinets turning into tables, etc. Customizing your apartment or moving out will have to wait until you earn more chroma. Until then, why don’t you check out your new neighborhood or explore the city levels? Maybe your new roommates or neighbors can give you a “hand” with allowance for dinner.

B As a Remooning gift from the Lunar Scientia Headquarters, the dedicated team from the Amphoria Room has released their latest perfected technology: Amphoria Pods. These VR Pods, which can fit up to four people at a time, have been set up in the gaming hub within Level 1’s PrismaPlace. They allow users to upload sceneries of their world in order to create a realistic holographic landscape of their homes that others can access and play around with, granting everyone the means to relive past memories with their loved ones as well as interact with the bestiary of other worlds. The pods also use the same technology that enhanced the popular virtual game, League Match Action Online (LmaO), which means you’re liable to feel the chill of cold environments, the burning heat from boiling water, the hard slap of your ex-lover, or the biting sting of a stray wasp. All who use the Amphoria Pods for the first time this year will also receive a small amount of Chroma in case things get too real.

▶ God Save Us from the Queen
Level 1, PrismaPlace and Level 2, Greatmoon Groves | top

The first month of the year is packed with two of the most important winter events this season: Queen Elara’s birthday and the League Match Action Online (LmaO) PVP semi-finals. It just so happens that the Queen of Lunatia is also a huge LmaO fan. Coincidence? Definitely not! LmaO players and royal family fans alike can meet her at PrismaPlace, where she will be appearing in cosplay of her favorite hero, Ah-Kari, while holding a body pillow of Commander GareBear. You, too, can get an autograph or selfie with the birthday girl if you’re willing to fall in line! Her bodyguards will also be in LmaO cosplay, keeping the crowd under control during the long wait.

Queen Elara

Good day to you all! This may come as a surprise to our guests the Moonblessed, but I am a normal person despite my exalted position. Please do not think of me today as Queen Elara. Instead... my name is Ah-Kari, sorceress of the crystal! With my soul fan blades, through the darkness, I shall slice all who dare hurt my commander in twain!

But when she is not meeting and greeting...

Queen Elara

My comrades, we're going to make history today. We're going for a new record. Perhaps the highest kill counts or the fastest clear for this map — it matters not. We’ve practiced day and night for this tournament, so let us show everyone that we’re not to be taken lightly! Also, the livestream is going in the royal archive, so make your successors proud!!

... she will be furiously grinding her character and training her skills in LmaO in the hopes of qualifying for the finals. Spectators will see her bring her own team full of hapless palace attendants who are there to either serve as her practice match partners or provide support to the one-woman army that is Queen Elara.

PrismaPlace is packed with giant crowds, many of them also in cosplay. While the semi-finals are taking place, new and old LmaO players alike can participate in the game’s current campaign: players who form teams get an improved chance of spawning unique monsters as well as winning rare items and skins in those prized lootboxes! Teams can also try to clear the event’s story together, featuring an aerial battle fought on griffin-back, which is heavily inspired by the popular Lunatian epic, The Battle of Abraxas, a colorful and complex story about the conflict between two families fighting over the fictional land of griffins, Abraxas.

A Progression in the event requires acquiring a griffin mount and getting it ready for battle. You can lure a wild one to yourself with a special veggie pie on a fishing pole. Should the griffin reject the lure, your character will be caught in a wind gaol and can only break out with the help of other players. Should you succeed, raising the griffin is a tedious task that involves players training alongside their respective griffins, running laps with them, taking them to hunt monsters, and feeding them properly. Depending on their diet, the food you give them will affect the color of its plumage and their battle stats.

Or you can skip the hard work and simply moonlace with your teammates through all the progression bars and required materials to save time. Once finished, you’ll be able to battle one another through the thunderous aerial domain of Abraxas. Clearing the event will net you an event-exclusive skin inspired by the royal family’s shining celestial robes and a weapon skin of a body pillow with your favorite character, so do your best!

B In celebration of Queen Elara’s birthday, the office of the royal household is hosting a modest tea party in the Greatmoon Groves. Swiffy bots that are normally programmed to remind visitors to keep the groves clean are now playing a birthday jingle on repeat. For people who prefer to be away from the blinding neon lights and the thumping techno music of PrismaPlace, this is the ideal escape. Unlimited tea and cookies are being served!

The tea is a soft-colored lilac concoction made from Ehrysian tea leaves that are known to cause a huge spike of alertness and is popular to Moon Knights and office workers with long night shifts as well as gamers for those all-night grinding sessions. The assorted cookies have either Ah-Kari or Commander GareBear printed on them. In case it isn't obvious yet, both are the birthday girl’s favorite LmaO characters.

Any Moonblessed looking for extra income is welcome to be royal attendants for the day; the hours are paid by Demichroma. They must be properly dressed up as maids or butlers (outfits provided by the royal household) as they serve tables.

▶ Say Cheese
Level 3, Caihong | top

Meanwhile, Caihong is in the midst of Remooning festivities in celebration of the new year, and merriment usually lasts a fortnight, filled with fireworks in the sky. Upon entering the district, beautiful Prismals with rat ears and tails greet you with a Happy Remooning and eagerly tug you along to join in.

Those welcomed will receive a pack of multi-colored sparklers, mooncakes topped with cheese, and a glowing drink called Champagne Supernova, poured in a thin glass in your hand. If you are over eighteen, the rat Prismals will ask if you prefer your drink with a kick. If you say yes, then they will add flavorful ice that causes extreme intoxication and might leave you to be susceptible to all levels of suggestion. Saying no (or if you’re under 18) will simply leave it as a sweet drink.

A One of the party games being played by the locals is called Lucky Tail, which is basically pinning the tail on the holographic rat stand-in — with a twist, it must be played with a partner! Another participant will blindfold you, spin you around, then push you forward. The stand-in is located at the end of unsteady elevated platforms forming a maze, filled to the brim with distracting objects underneath. They’re long, they’re thick, and they’re vibrating furiously in an attempt to knock you off the platforms.

Your partner must guide you by voice to successfully navigate through the maze! The game is rigged with various mechanisms, so stepping on specific platforms will activate a number of traps against you or your partner: machines that may tickle, drop colorful slime, or cause the platform to repetitively spin, and who knows what else?

Should you manage to get through the obstacle course and pin the tail successfully, you and your partner will win copious amounts of Demichroma, courtesy of Buwan from Buwan’s Stop.

B Another attraction is a fun magic glamour booth known for its face or body swap features. The booth staff, clad in their festive rat paraphernalia, will encourage you and your friends to take aesthetic shots using an illusion generator. The effects last an hour. Photographed images can be instantly uploaded and shared in Prismagram. New year, new you! Why not take the chance to celebrate this momentous occasion in a unique fashion? It’s all in good humor.

There are two buttons to press: (A) CUSTOM or (B) RANDOM. Pressing A will allow participants to customize their desired effects. Pressing B will cause the illusion magic to randomly rearrange participants in questionable positions, new outfits (or lack thereof), and you may even come out of the booth looking like your best friend or your worst rival. The possibilities are endless!

[Pidonus matches Ana's order.]

Shouldn't take too long for the food to show up. Which leaves what you want to do, now that you're here...

[ That's a relief to hear. It might be odd if Ashe had come from before Dimitri's change of heart and had found him in his present state. He's sure Ashe would have thought his friend to be insane or maybe himself to be the insane one. ]

As far as I know, the other Byleth and I are the same in manner, history, and everything else but cosmetic appearance.

[ Meaning Ashe doesn't have to think of him differently if he doesn't want to. Unless, Ashe married that Byleth in his timeline, but he's not going to think about that possibility at the moment. ]

We were marching against Edelgard in Enbarr before I woke up here. It was the decisive battle to put an end to the war.

[ He doesn't know if they'll succeed in his timeline, but he certainly intends to do his best to make sure they do. ]

You'll find Dimitri in a better state when you meet him here. Have no worry.

[ No longer a weapon.

He wants to believe it. He does. He wants to believe that his family is safe, that Wen Ning can't hurt them again, that it was all a misunderstanding or a trick.

The tears roll thickly as he glares, half snarling. ]

You can't! [ He snaps at him, but at least he doesn't try to shove him again. ]

You can't atone!

Go on, tell me how you'd even try! Tell me what on earth you could possibly do to make up taking my father from me??

[ Jin Ling gives a deep, respectful bow to Xingchen - far more gracious than he would offer most people. ]

Thank you, Daozhang.

[ That done, he climbs up on the pegasus - trying by himself at first and then a little shamefacedly accepting help - before settling into the saddle. He turns to his guide, a little pink in the cheeks, and says: ]

Now what?

(( Sounds good! Chuu~ ))

You are right... I can't. But I will still try...

[ He knows Jin Ling is right. There is nothing he can do to ever make up for Jin Ling's loss. It is a sin that will stay with him forever. And a wound that will never leave Jin Ling. All he can do is protect Jin Ling in his parents' stead. Not because of Young Master Wei but because it's his responsibility now. ]

I... won't let anything happen to you. Or... to the ones who are here.

[ He means Jin Ling's parents, not that Jin Ling would be able to understand that just yet. ]

[ He looks half ashamed, before he looks around him, taking in Lotus Pier, unwilling to leave it. ]

... Can we stay here for a little while? Can he come meet us here?

[ He glares at Wen Ning and then sniffs loudly, raising his sleeve to wipe as his eyes, trying to banish the tears. ]

You better not. [ Rough, ragged. ]

You better not let anything happen to anyone, you understand me?

I will not. You... have my word.

[ He grits his teeth to stop him from biting something out - something about how little Wen Ning's word could possibly mean to him. But he doesn't say it. Because he doesn't really mean it.

Instead he just takes a step back, wiping at his face again.

He can feel the stares of people around him and the embarrassment is mounting. ]

I won't let you get away with it, if you do!

[ And then he's fleeing, shoving his way through the crowd, desperate to run from the past that keeps leaping up to find him. ]

[ Wen Ning knows better than to pursue for now. He will find Jin Ling again once the other has some time to find those closer to him, perhaps even his parents. But he would rather let Jin Ling dictate their next interaction. ]

[ There's a quick look of annoyance and the slightest bit of dread at her bringing up his fiance. He briefly recalls his night with her, and it's just -- no. It's not as if that's ever really stopped or slowed down anything he was doing. Louis just leaned into doing what he wanted to do most of the time, and keeping up with the minimal of what he had to do for his father or to maintain an image.

Those two things didn't always coincide, but sometimes they did. ]

Finding Tem's murderer had nothing to do with what I was doing before that. That was a last minute decision and I almost didn't return for that either. [ There's a huff. ] But that dumb wolf insisted, and I showed up. Which he should be so lucky because he's still alive. [ Oh, look at that, distracting from the subject again. ]

It's not like I regret doing what I did, you know. Not even Legosi eating part of me. [ With what she said. ] You can tell me whatever you want to, Haru. Nothing, everything, whatever.

I'm not telling you because I think you'll be better off not knowing.

Maybe that’s why we’re here. It seems meaningless to pull in people who are boring or aren’t useful in some way... [He’s also yet to meet anyone without some interesting story or ability or something.

His thoughts momentarily scatter as Binghe maneuvers him, however, lost in the impressed awe and amusement that he moves Guangyao with such ease. He supposed that the words he speaks are true—the words are different, but the dies behind them is the same as what Guangyao has been living by for most of his life. Survive, climb, don’t let go of that ambition... And what had it gotten him?

He doesn’t want to think about it. He presses a hand to his eyes and tries to clear his mind. A nod of acceptance—sure, he understands the advice.] Thats all I know how to do, survive... [Up until he couldn’t anymore.

Ah, well. It’s not important right now.]

Do I even weigh anything to you? [she focuses instead on an easier line of questioning, faintly amused at the difference between them.]

[Ranpo gets a gust of wind to caress his face instead of a schlong for Soren's efforts in warding it off his partner. The brunt of his Wind attack hits the enemy, causing it to tumble away in comical trajectories. Ideally, his magic should have destroyed it, but... he has a feeling that somehow, it might be back. He keeps his tome in his arm just in case.]

Good work. You're safe — for now. Proceed to your left.

[What do the yellow tiles do...? Soren's not even sure if pink was what triggered dildo-copter. It sounded more like it just caused a door to open. Hard to say at this juncture... But honestly, they can team up against flying sex toys easily, so if pink consistently means dildo? Sorry, but he'll just keep directing Ranpo to the dildo tiles over anything worse.]

[ With a carefree, confident smile, he nods at Xiao Xingchen. ]

All right. Come back before your chroma gets too low.

[ With that same expression, he helps Jin Ling up, and then swings into the saddle behind the boy. ]

Now? Now we ride.

[ He tugs gently on the reins with one hand and clicks at the pegasus, which turns and heads off across the wasteland at a brisk trot, its glittering hooves stamping up plumes of purple dust that lazily rise up and trail behind them. With open country before them, the pegasus picks up speed, from a trot to a canter. Gu Yun curls his body forwards, his free arm coming around Jin Ling's waist to hold him securely. ]

Forgive the liberty, but it's necessary.

[ From a canter to a full on gallop, the pegasus runs, golden mane flying in the wind, hooves thundering across the barren ground. It's a deafening sound. Smoothly it unfurls its golden wings and spreads them wide.....

And then everything goes quiet, except for the sound of the wind. The ground falls away. ]

If you don't like heights, it's all right. Close your eyes. I'm here.

[ In the lavender sky hangs the vast planet Prismatica; from this perspective, it looks like they're going to fly all the way there. ]

If I do, then you can yell at me as much as you like. I promise.

[There's a million other ways Taichi could say that - but the way it comes out is soft and fond. He means it, and she'll find it in his eyes if she looks.]

D-don't actually call me that, though! That's too embarrassing...

[Taichi flusters as he says it, gaze darting to the side as he trails off. It's hard to pin down how he feels when she calls him that, but it's... weird. Not necessarily in a bad way, but it's definitely some shade of embarrassed.]

Besides- [He clears his throat after a moment and chances a look back at her.] You don't look that different, you know. Your hair might be a little longer, but... You still look like the Inaba I know.

Embarrassing, huh? I'll remember that.

[ She will absolutely. . . remember this. But then she sees his fluster and it makes her want to tease him a little more. ]

Oh, you don't want to be called that? Ah, that's right, I forgot, you'd rather be called 'onii-chan'.

[ INABA HIMEKO IS THE WORST. ]

Well, you're right that I'm still me, but. . . just a little bit older. You just missed my birthday, too.

Definitely don't call me that!!

[He knows even his ears are turning red and he hates it! so much! thanks!!!!!!

But whenever Taichi settles enough, his hand goes to the back of his neck while he bows his head apologetically. There's guilt swirling through his gut even though this isn't something he had any control over. He would've felt bad missing any of his friends' birthdays, but missing his girlfriend's feels infinitely worse.]

Sorry, though... If it's okay, I want to do something even if it's belated. Maybe dinner or something nice, I'm still trying to learn all of the places here. [He waves a hand a little sheepishly at that.] Did you at least get to celebrate with anyone?

[ She can't help but laugh a little bit in a way that could only be described as something only a villain can do. Ah, she missed this banter too much. She loves him so much and seeing his expression like that. ]

Mm, yeah, that's fine. You owe me a birthday present and a Christmas one, okay? So don't forget that, either. I'm finally eighteen, so that makes me older than you, huh.

[ It seems that she just wants to be spoiled, just a little bit. She knows it's selfish, but she's always been like that. And it's made even more obvious as she grabs his hands in her own. Of course, she's very much aware that doing this will count as moonlacing, but hey, it's to her benefit, so win-win. ]

We can go to Caihong, then. Or maybe spend some time at the arcade where I'll absolutely kick your ass in all the games.

[ But then he asks her if she's celebrated with anyone and for a moment, her expression falters for a second before she shakes it off. ]

Yeah, I did. With a few people. Speaking of which, you should stay with us. You haven't found a place to stay yet, right? I'm sure my roommate would be OK with you staying with us. . . ah, but there's only two rooms and I'm taking one while he's taking the other. But you can sleep with me, if you want. I don't mind.

[tragically he did not sorry Giovanni]

You're... actually a criminal? Are you saying you're part of some kind of gang...?

[Taichi blinks up at him, honestly kind of stunned. On one hand, he should... do something, right? He's always tried to save people, even if a lot of the time it's been for selfish reasons. So shouldn't he tell someone? Get help...?

But.

Between the pose and the pat on the shoulder, there's something that makes Taichi... conflicted. Taichi doesn't know him, but... Giovanni doesn't necessarily feel like a bad person. He can't be sure one way or another, of course; it's someone he's just met, after all. Yet it gives him pause all the same.

...He wants to believe the best.]

We didn't write about any crimes or criminals before... Mostly things like gossip around the school or thing relating to our own interests, even if my wrestling articles got vetoed by the other club members a lot... [more's the pity] But you- you were kidding before, right? You're not actually...

[Taichi trails off. It has to be a bad joke... Right?]

[There's a moment of brief, blinded surprise that shows subtle on Julian's face - seen in the slight widening of his eye, the barest tilt of his head - when Fjord clears his throat and looks a little awkward, holds his own arm out instead. He's unaccustomed to it, given to gallantry himself, inclined to sweep people up in his wake and off their feet when he can get away with it, pressing them gently behind him whenever trouble presents itself. To be on the receiving end of gallantry himself is a new one, but after that one quick moment of confusion he's swift enough to take the half-orc's arm, has no masculine pride to wound, himself. Positively glitters, in fact, when someone else takes the lead.

He laughs a ringing laugh as he begins to move in the direction of a dimly lit alley that seems promising, tilts his face just slightly toward the man at his side.]

My dear, I'm sure that can be arranged.

His brows pull heavy around a concerned frown, even as he experiences a sharp wave of guilt in the wake of Waver's words. They made us wear collars, like dogs. Because all of that, the forced control, his own overt subjugation, he'd liked it. Had worn a collar anyway, one still tucked into his pocket now, removed after he'd been picked up on that moon and had been subject to concerned questions, to looks. Duplicity, in many respects, had suited him, a place he'd almost felt he belonged and there's a sick slide of feeling in him at that, because whilst he'd wanted it for himself, it's not something he'd wish on someone who didn't hunger for it.

There'd always been that cognitive dissonance, his own giddy enjoyment tainted by the overt suffering of others. His own enslavement he could revel in yes, but he never has been one to passively accept the mistreatment of anyone else.

He's on the verge of drawing Waver in for another - swifter, firmer - hug when the younger man draws gentle away, rubs at his watering eyes. He lets him go instead, though he keeps a gloved hand on his shoulder, squeezes. Tries to convey something of reassurance.

"I'm sorry. That things got so much worse, that I wasn't there," would there have been much he could have done? Maybe not, but he could have tried, "but we're out of it now, eh? And this place it uh, it seems very different. Much less restrictive. It's going to be alright."

He'll make it so, if he can.

"Listen, let me get you a drink, maybe something to eat. We can find a quiet corner somewhere, catch up."

[ Fjord's relief comes in a kiss to the back of the hand that takes his arm, reassured by Julian's smile and laughter. ]

Onward to unknown seas then, captain.

[ They'll find somewhere eventually, they're sailors. They've got this. ]

Of course. I'll have to make extra sure it's something good.

[When she mentions the gap in their ages, though, he can't help but laugh a little.] Yeah... I guess there'll be a year between us now. [He thought he'd mind more, but honestly it just feels a little weird.] I know you're always looking out for us, but... [He shakes his head with a grin.] It feels strange, doesn't it?

[He's not calling her senpai though!! That's embarrassing no matter what direction it's coming from. But then- his breath hitches when Inaba takes his hands. That's... oh. He's always liked holding hands with her, at least while it's just them, but... this time it feels so much warmer. It's really nice?]

Caihong... [It takes a second for his fuzzy brain to catch up, but then he's smiling and rubbing a thumb over the back of her hand.] I saw it from a distance on my way here. It'd be a good place for a date. The arcade too... but I'll have to try my best, in that case.

[Even as he says it, Taichi knows she'll win, and that's fine. But the weird soup his brain is marinating in clears for a bit, and his grin genuinely brightens, the widest it ever goes.]

Good. I'm glad that you've been able to get to know people here.

[Taichi gives her hands a squeeze. He'd been just a bit worried, honestly; Taichi still remembers how things had been when they'd met. But... if there were people, even a few, that were celebrating with her, they must be people she's spending time with. He doesn't know whether or not she considers them friends, but... they cared enough to celebrate with her. And that makes him really happy.]

And that'd be great, I... wasn't really sure where I was going to go, but I'd like to stay with you if I can... [His mind trails off for a bit blissfully, entertaining the thought - but then Taichi pulls it back in a hurry because NOPE THAT'S BAD TAICHI] N-not in the same room, though, that wouldn't be right! [He's been in Inaba's room back home, of course, but this is Very Different.] I can just sleep on the couch or something, if you have one.

[or the floor too that's also cool because he will be good!!]

I'm looking forward to meeting your roommate, though. What's he like?

"I would appreciate that."

Weapons and arrows could be avoided easily, but claws were a more difficult thing to be mindful of when they couldn't just be removed entirely. Though that would be a concern for another time because the appearance of them was just as random as the other changes that found him each month.

As he listens to Dorian's proposition, his head lowers to watch where those hands are going before they catch his wrists. If it were anyone else he would have been hit with the urge to pull away or resist. Being tied up, or more vaguely, being outside of his usual amount of control, doesn't interest him at all unless there's enough trust--and Hanzo trusts Dorian more than he trusts himself most days. Which is quite the feat considering the sort of aptitude the mage might have for manipulation if he played his cards right.

"You make it sound so easy. What happens when you're blinded by the urge to claim me as your own and I am too tied up to defend myself?" Hanzo lets himself laugh at the thought, because even then he's not sure he'd protest so much. The reverse is what's more worrying. "Or what if I become aggressively possessive of you? Would you let me take out on you for a few days?" He's dealt with Sanguis changes long enough to know that he would want to mark Dorian with his scent both inside and out to make it clear to anyone else who he belongs to. Rational Hanzo thinks like the mage should have a choice, but rationality isn't something that can be counted on.

Dorian would make potions a priority as soon as he was in the right mind and instead of glass vials he would use soft leather pouches. Anything to reduce the risk of them hurting one another, while transformation dangerous were more difficult to deal with like fangs and claws, he figured they'd do less damage than having glass or weapons about. He can't be certain what he would do, but he 's well aware that his heart wouldn't change so much that he'd want to hurt Hanzo out of any sort of malice, but what he did in a state of passion...well he couldn't predict that.

Sliding his hands from Hanzo's wrists to twist around his fingers he raised both of the archer's arms so he could kiss the lower part of each thumb near the heel in turn. Trust was never something Dorian would abuse, especially given that it was trust in the mage and he wasn't used to people trusting him or valuing him in such a way.

"I would endeavor to make it up to you," Dorian chuckled softly, hoping they would both be in quite a frenzy at that point, but anything he did during that time he would make it up to Hanzo. He would not cross lines, he was certain, no matter what this change did to him he wouldn't allow it to take him over to that extent. "Aggressively possessive of me? Lord Hanzo...what an honor, I give you my full consent!" It was levity, certainly, but he was giving permission in advance, but to assure the archer that he was serious and not just joking, he pressed their foreheads together, his eyes penetrating Hanzo's, "if it's you, then yes...I can take it. Something as silly as a Moonblessing shouldn't deprive you of my company, you've been deprived long enough. As have I."
