tune

(Oo nice)

Astral came into the room early in the morning, silent as he did.
"Time to go," he said calmly, looking from Emile to Simon.

Emile nodded, kissing Simon’s forehead like he’d done the night before and then standing up, going over to Astral. He’d had a few difficulties in the night keeping Simon peaceful, but it seemed like he’d managed to stop any nightmares from happening. But that didn’t guarantee that Simon would still go into the day okay.

Astral looked to Simon a moment, letting out a breath. He'd squeeze the usefulness out of Emile until he ran dry, and then he'd toss him to the side like he had everyone else.
"Let's go…" He knew Mia could deal with Simon during the day.

Emile didn’t doubt it. He just hoped he’d be able to get out when that time did come.

Who knows, who knows. Astral was quiet as he walked, looking at Emile.
"When do you think you won't be able to help him?"

Emile shrugged. “I’m not sure honestly. I’ve never had to take care of him like this for a long period of time.” He replied honestly. He knew it was probably frustrating Astral to not be able to do anything to him.

It was, to no end, but he would do his best for now to behave. He just needed to take care of Simon in this life, and then things could go back to normal.
"I see…"

At least that’s what Astral thought, nobody tell him that that won’t happen at least not for long. “Well if you need anything else from me today, I’ll just be floating around somewhere.”

If Astral knew, he'd just throw this life out the window and go full force.
"Alright, then." Astral walked away from Emile's side when they were back in their part of the palace without another word.
Lily shifted around some in Emile's pocket, yawning softly as she curled up more. She'd had a really nice night of sleep, and it seemed she didn't want to wake up for the day.

Emile quickly walked off to an empty part of the palace so he could check up on Lily. “Good morning.” He said quietly.

Lily looked up when Emile spoke, blinking sleepily.
"Good morning, sir…" she said, smiling sweetly. She uncurled some, yawning again.

“Did you sleep well?” He asked, a content smile on his face. He took her out of the pocket gently once he was sure that they were far enough away.

"Mhm!" Lily looked up at Emile, letting herself stayed laid down when she was lifted up on his hand.
"Thank you…"

“You’re very welcome dear. We can eat later, I’m pretty sure Astral’s in that area right now.” He said, patting the top of her head.

Lily did tense some at the mention of Astral, but it went away when she heard he wasn't near them.
"Okay!" The girl grinned as her head was pat, leaning into the touch a little too much and falling over in Emile's palm. She let out a soft breath, giggling some at herself.

Emile laughed softly at that. “Careful now dear. Now what do we want to do today?”

Lily pushed herself back up, folding her legs under her.
"Can we draw?" She asked, looking excited at the thought. It didn't seem to register in her that she was smaller than a crayon or pencil and might have a hard time.

“Yeah sure thing, you just might have a bit of trouble because of how small you are, but we’ll figure it out.” He said, sounding as optimistic as ever.

"Oh- right." Lily giggled some as she looked down at herself, then up at Emile.
"It'll be fun though!"

“It will be!” He agreed. “Let’s go find some supplies then.” He said, beginning to wander back to more of the major areas of the house where the supplies might be. He stopped for a moment. “Is it okay if I put you back in my pocket while we’re looking?”

"Mhm! That's okay!" Lily smiled up at Emile, reading herself for the transition in Emile's hand. She hummed some, still smiling.

“Okay great!” He carefully slid her into the pocket. He didn’t think they’d run into Astral but it was always better to be safe than sorry.

Lily settled down in Emile's pocket, still smiling. She moved to lay down, playing with the strands of her hair. She took happy, thankfully, and content with where she was.

Emile walked through the palace, looking for any sort of art supplies that they could use, humming a simple tune as he searched.

Lily hummed some as Emile looked, listening to him for a moment before trying to copy the tune.
The art supplies could be found in one room in particular- and it seemed to be set up to be a child's room. It hadn't been used in some time, but it looked like it had enough beds for three children, and enough toys and clothes to spoil all of them.

Eventually, Emile wandered into this room, definitely planning to get the supplies as quickly as possible and then get the heck out of there.

"Have you found any?" Lily asked softly, looking up out of the pocket at the underside of Emile's chin. It wasn't like she could see much else, after all.

“Yeah I think there’ll be some in here.” Emile said, quickly beginning to look around the room.

"Yeay!" Lily hummed some, stretching some. The art supplies were in the drawer of one of the bedside tables, a doll lamp resting on top of it.
