Ah, Tsumugi Aoba.

[ Perhaps, oddly enough, Shen Qingqiu greets him with a small table set in front of him and a musical instrument resting on top of said table. His guqin. His guqin. He had acquired all the parts needed to create it from the castle and constructed it just to mess around with -- who knew that it would be needed for a mission. ]

Phosphophyllite, please sing whatever you wish to convey your warm feelings and gratitude. [ A beat. He clears his voice and make his intent more clear to the other gem. ] Yes, this serenade is for you.

[ He makes a small gestures to Phosphophyllite at his side, awaiting them to start singing. Honestly, it doesn't matter what is sung since I plan to play whatever love song comes to mind. Serenading... I'm glad I'm just the accompanying music. But he can't help but wonder what song will be chosen, or will it just be something they wing? ]

[ It may just be that Phos is slightly out of practice from fighting, or maybe it's just fighting another gem-like creature that's made this so difficult, but they can hardly believe they're doing all of this for a tiny bottle of liquid.

Rounding on the hydra, they adjust the grip on their sword in a fluid pulse of alloy that ends at their hands. Dismantling this thing has been a piece of work, but after scanning over it Phos can see that it's down to its last limbs, with only a hit or two left until they shatter its neck. With Tsumugi's voice cheering them on in the background, they remember to be conscious of making sure he stays out of harm's way while they end this. ]


Almost! Make sure you stay back, alright? [ They call over their shoulder, not taking their eyes off of the hydra. With one last moment to collect themselves, Phos charges forward and then lunges into the air, propelled up by a stilt of alloy protruding from their heel. High in the air, they position themselves to dive back downwards and drop all of their weight down onto the hydra's neck, sword-first.

Given that its limbs have all long been shattered, there's no fight to be had as they decapitate the monster with a loud, splintering crack that sends shards of crystal flying. ]


Got it!

[ When Tsumugi pipes up, they don't actually particularly mind it. It's nice to work in peace and quiet, but Tsumugi's disposition is quite serene in comparison to the other people they spend time around in Chroma - if not a little eccentric. And they never mind talking about gem things to the residents here, it often helps other people understand them better.

So, they answer without protest, but they don't look up from their work. ]


Gems don't have music. We don't have the means to build instruments, in the first place.

[ They only really know what instruments are because of Lunarians, and because of their exposure to them here, after all. They shrug. ]

I guess that's why I don't see how this is supposed to be thanks. Singing is not really something us gems do, either...

[ Since they've interacted a lot because of work, and the whole gem thing, it's probably clearer to Tsumugi now that as prickly as they like to act, it is actually quite easy to make them go along with you. Even after saying this quest is pointless, they're not making any motion to ditch. ]

I recognize this fable. Hermes took pity on a woodcutter who had dropped his axe in a lake and tested his honesty.

[ He crosses his arms over his chest, looking at the pond in front of them. ]

In at least one variation, being dishonest got you decapitated. [ Fun facts with Ryo!! ]

[ They make a face as he explains, sliding the pencil into their hand. How are they supposed to answer that? It goes critically against their nature to admit in plain words that they love, or even like anything or anyone. This was a stupid idea. ]

Even if I do, I'm not writing down a bunch of weird stuff to read to them.

[ Is that a yes? Or a hypothetical no? They don't intend to make the answer clear for him. They're not embarrassed of being with Lupin (except when he makes it embarrassing), but it's just plain weird to list things they like about him with someone else around. ]

The quest just says "someone." Couldn't I write about anyone, then?

[ Rising to their feet, Phos steps away from the wreckage and pats their clothes free of any dirt or diamond dust. The edge of their blade doesn't seem to have suffered much from the fight, and they're about to inspect themselves for chips when Tsumugi is running up to them, already on it.

Brows raising at the sudden sincerity of his care, Phos rubs the back of their head sheepishly while Tsumugi looks over them. ]


Ah.. I don't think I felt anything break. Does everything look okay? [ Hearing how cool they looked is kind of embarrassing, but also? They sort of love it. They can't help the need to want to impress him. ]

I was hella cool, right? It's too bad you turned back into a human or I could have taught you how to fight like that..

[ But now they have a completely different task to tackle instead.. Nodding, they toss one last look down at the chunks of diamond strewn through the clearing before turning their back on it. Chocolate is more important than feeling weird about breaking a gem-monster thing. ]

Hey, I can sort of taste things..! [ the AURA of the food. but whatever, we're on our way back home now. ] You'll just have to tell me if I'm doing it right.

[Akira doesn't mind the camping trip, especially if it means keeping Tsumugi out of trouble and helping protect the town. He's brought some drinks and snacks in a bag, and he's ready to settle down and get comfortable when he notices the vial in Tsumugi's hand. His eyes widen. Isn't that one of the samples of demon blood people had been given from the quests...?]

Wait -- don't drink that! [He tries to snatch it away from him. Who the hell knows what it does, but it's better not to risk it.]

[ He pockets the bottle, and as he moves to pick up the golden axe he notices that the thin gold coating is flaking off like Parmesan cheese, revealing the rusty iron underneath.

He unceremoniously drops it at the water's edge. ]


...Let's leave them.

No. [ He shakes his head. ] I never saw the point, and if I wanted to gift chocolate I'd just order it off the internet instead of wasting my time in the kitchen.

[ Or delegate the chocolate making to Jenny. ]
