It's strange how familiar, but how different this feels. Not a one of them is a stranger to him now. And he doesn't make any particular effort to suppress his tiny smile as he glances around at the group, at the nostalgia of that question. ]
...Ready. I assume instructions are no longer needed, by this point.
no subject
[ everything could be on fire with molten lava under their steps, or they could be endlessly freefalling through the sky, and hani would be content to be with these three forever. there's a calm air about them standing here, soft like a gentle breeze through their hair, quiet like the shade of a shared parasol. they seem... settled. ]
It's been a while since we've had quality time together as a family.
[ and they don't just mean ganymede. ]
no subject
[ Tylor agrees with Ganymede, one hand already preoccupied with Hani's if he's had any say about that. An audible mhm is his sign of readi ess before predictably, he returns Michel's smile with a bright one of his own.
He jokes, parroting Michel's words from all the way back then. When he was Winter and they weren't family. ]
Tank in front?
[ To Hani, a hand squeeze and a-- ]
You know, we should really have more family reunions.
no subject
Followed by Justy's commentary as well. ]
Tank in front.
[ Ganymede also blinks a bit and looks at Michel, even if his answer is for Justy once again: ]
Yeah...more family reunions would be nice, cousin-in-law.
[ He doesn't care if marriage vows haven't been exchanged, he will go ahead and say this, flashing a little pleased smirk before hurrying along.
In the distance, some enemies can be spotted already:
Four Deadly Presents. ]
no subject
A reunion seems a little strange, when we're practically living in the same city...
[ He's not arguing the idea, only the semantics. But unlike the first dungeon, his offhand state of distraction vanishes the instant monsters appear. They can't be careless anymore — and Justy might be the tank, but Michel feels the responsibility of his age and level advantage. He moves to take the lead without further explanation. ]
no subject
[ ganymede is referring to justy, but hani’s gaze sparkles at winter. cousin tag-team.
with a squeeze and a promise to watch his back in their warm, dancing eyes, hani’s hand drifts away from their tank’s, assuming he goes to join winter at the lead. they are taking this more seriously than last time, too. ]
quietly tracks this
[ This is his first time having cousins that like him. If he were a dog, his tail would be wagging. Easily visible once he nearly skips happily ahead to take the lead. Only after he plants a kiss to Hani's cheek, a promise to protect them, no matter what.
With a glance back to Michel and Hani when Hani speaks, Tylor smiles and adds while briefly walking backwards-- ]
Oh I agree. We should have family dinners all the time now. You're the best cousin-in-laws I've ever had. [ All genuine. ] Handsome and beautiful too, who could ask for better company?
no subject
[ Double tag-team cousin attack mobius reacharound is a go!
Then as Justy keeps talking... ]
...Hardly sparing with your praise as usual, but I'm not going to say it's terrible. Besides, I'd say the same—that I'm in good company.
Though, we should also look alive.
[ Ganymede is already dancing once the enemies are within fight-o range. Guess who's getting a boost in defenses and attack strengths—both magical and physical, yo because I ain't listing the chain of spells here. ]
no subject
I suppose... family dinners wouldn't be terrible. [ His tone has the exhaustion of someone grudgingly choosing their favorite natural disaster. ] It wastes less food as well, since the cooking profession feeds too many.
[ And Michel absolutely shouldn't be left to cook not using that. Anyway now that Ganymede is thoughtfully buffing all of them (even mages!!) Michel is moving in. He can leave behind his awkwardness when he's just focusing on the flow of battle. Blade Brandier specializes in single targets to begin with; he'll focus on combo after combo to bring down each enemy as fast as possible, but if anything looks to be turning its beady evil ribbons towards Justy, he shifts targets to that one. ]
no subject
And now it’ll feed just enough!
[ one deadly present does try going for their tank, but hani sends a spell of encircling leaves to impede its way. ]
I want to eat what Winter-kun-in-law had growing up.
no subject
[ Bright eyes to Hani, sounding just as interested-- ] But oh, me too!
[ Tylor nods his agreement to Hani, nearly tripping before he spins back around to face the upcoming monsters. Without turning back to face him, Tylor makes a dramatic salute and calls out-- ]
You got it, shotcaller-in-law~! Thank you for all the buffs!
[ He all but leaps into the action with a happy laugh. Brandish, brandish, brandish, there is a clear difference between him day one and now. Not that there is any change in effort. But his body knows the moves now, almost on its, as he fluidly avoids ribbons. When a side step has him facing Hani briefly, they get a wink for that help if they're looking. ]
no subject
Ganymede can take notice of Michel's slight quicker approach but he's a little too occupied to be watching for any more hints of embarrassment.
Seeing that Hani's helped to deter one enemy, Ganymede's already dancing again. ]
I'll gladly have more of what Michel liked to eat when he was super small.
[ Is he teasing a little? Yes. But also there goes a charming dance, getting one of the presents to attack another. ]
no subject
I-I already told you, I can't remember that! And I couldn't cook it if I did, anyway...
[ Just for putting him on the spot, he should make snails for them. But with his luck, none of them would be American enough to be dismayed about it. Michel shoots Ganymede a slightly pouting glance (that doesn't quite fail to linger in appreciation on the dance for a moment) before turning to double team the last unoccupied present with Tylor. ]
no subject
[ as winter watches their cousin (as he should be), hani watches justy (as they should be), in case he needs assistance, enjoying how he has come into his own as their tank.
he laughs and gladly carries part of the weight of all things for anyone, everyone; hani wonders if anyone ever realizes just how kind their justy is. that what he’s taking on for others isn’t limited to the damage in dungeons. ]
And did you know Gani-kun is made of magic?
