Mikhail is just so beautiful.

So Vance's tattoo looks like a smiley face and it makes my heart kinda happy

He is a pure and delicate nugget

I thought that would cheer you up a little haha

Yes yes it does.

I'm glad uvu

Alright well I guess we should start then.. (Starting is always the hard part I never know how it should go)

(( Ah, same... Mm... Maybe a tavern or something in a town the army has to march through... And Rus notices the Mik... And shoved Vance over with a quick introduction before running away..? Idk... ))

So crazy....IT WILL BE GLORIOUS)
Vance stood there kind of awkwardly as his wife introduced him to her brother. Vance knew she had another brother... But if it turned out to be another aland Vance !ight just rip his own head off and throw it to dragon form ashbel to feast on. If mantakes eat people he wasn't really sure.

Mikhail simply blinked as his beloved little sister scurried away giggling, his mischievousness must have rubbed off on her somehow. He chuckled though, turning his attention to her new husband. "Vance, is it?" He began with a friendly smile.

"Yeah ahaha.. " he forces a smile
"And your Mikhail... Judging by the harp.. Youre the one that got those lovely little songs rusalka hums in her head."

"Yes, that's me." His smile never fades as he strums a few notes lightly on his instrument. "I trust this also means you've met Aland? If you have, how is he doing? Poor thing must be bristling at everything like a frightened kitten..."

He sits and sighs a bit
",yeah aland.. He's..he's uh.. Aland.. " sighs running his hand through his hair
"Always has a problem with something or an insult "

"Is that so..?" The bard frowns a little, taking a seat on a stack of crates next to Vance. "Odd, he's never so hostile when at home. I wonder what's happened..." He sighs, kicking his legs a little. "Ah, well... If it's my business, he'll tell me eventually. It's no use pressing these things."

"It use to be about protecting his sister.. Now I think he just wants me dead." Laughs slightly and shakes his head

Mikhail's frown deepens. "Oh, I hardly believe that's the case. You seem like a fine enough fellow, and I assure Aland is usually a kind boy. There must be something else." He strums his fingers across his harp idly for a few moments before he sighs once more. "Ah, well... Please put up with him a little longer, okay..? If not for me, then for little Rus' sake."

He tilts his head" rusalka is my princess I'd do anything for her. "
He laughs " you're honestly one of the nicest people I've met Mikhail.. Thanks for the encouragement mate.. I needed it."
(Mikhail is glorious.. I'd marry Mikhail... He's such a sweetheart.. I mean who wouldn't like him...)

"That's adorable." He chuckles, setting his harp down on the crate beside him. "I'm glad our sister choose such a delightful young man as her suitor. I'm also glad that I could help. I'm sure the war and dealing with my baby brother is quite tiring... Say, if you'd like anything to eat or drink from the bar, just tell me. It's my treat."

(( I'm glad you both like him so much haha
He's demisexual, tbh haha
He needs a very special someone))

(Doesn't know what demisexual means so sits on the corner)

"Thank you, but I'm afraid I can't stay.. I was supposed to help my little brother with something.. I think it was a dance move er.. Something like that. Anyway he does like ten spins in a row and wants me to watch. I hope we can at least get together again sometime soon. It's been a awesome getting to know you. "
He stands "btw you're an uncle. The children speak very fondly of you. I can see why."

(Ay mate then I shall not ask again )

"Ah, I see. I would like th-..."
He gulps, eying Vance cautiously. "Did... You say that I'm an uncle..? C-children..?"
If it's possible, his already pale face pales even further.

(( Yeaaah it's basically like that; ))

(( His beautiful soul has left his body ))

"A-ah yeah-well I mean not yet technically. I mean.. Rusalkas not-
I-i mean they can from the future-! We havent- gods-"

Mikhail just sits there in utter horror, staring at Vance blankly before he makes some odd, intelligible noise and slumps over, faint from shock.

(( You broke him, Vance ))

( omg OMG I KILLED HIM)
Vance looks utterly shocked before carrying Mikhail bridal style and running out of the tavern
He runs for awhile finding rusalka with a stream! Of tear coming from his sad one eye "RUSALKA I THINK I KILLED HIM I DINT MEAN TOO!! HE JUST WENT LIMP !!!"

The poor little troubadour jumps at the sudden Vance, whirling around to the sight before her. "W-what happened?!"

(( I can't believe Vance accidentally killed my disney princess son ))

(Shifts into panic mode,
KISS HIM MAYBE HE WILL WAKE UP
*cries)

"WE WERE TALKING AND AND AND I SAID SOMETHING ABOUT THE KIDS AND HE JUST-" cries "PRINCESS MAKE HIM WAKE UP"

(OMG IM GOING TO LIVE MY LIFE IN SHAME I WILL NEVER SEE THE LIGHT AGAIN IM A MONSTER)

(ONLY FERRUM MAY WAKE HIM WITH A PRINCES KISS)

(Now my hearts dead again..)

(( What will Aland say about this ))

Rusalka hurried to her husband and delicate brother, reaching up and gently wiping away Vance's tears. "Shhh, he's alright, calm down. You just... Put him into shock..." She sighed, holding a hand to Mik's forehead. "Poor thing. He'll recover soon... Though..." She giggles, patting her brother's head as she glances up at Vance. "I guess it was going to have to come out sooner or later."

"W-was I not supposed to tell him?? I-im sorry I didn't know.."
Sighs "it was going so well too... I feel like everyone I talk to hates me eventually.. "
"Maybe when he wakes up he will forget.."

"Oh, you hush. No one hates you. And don't you say Aland, he's just not in a comfy spot right now. Even if they did, I'd still love you all the same." She smiles, standing on her tiptoes to give him a peck on the cheek. "It's fine that you told him, he had to kn- Oh, look. He's waking up already. How quick!"

He blushes slightly
"Oh good I was about to grab ferrum"

"Ferrum? For what?" Rus asked as Mikhail slowly blinked open his eyes, muttering something about harps and a taguel.

Laughs nervously
"Look he's talking about bunnies"

She squints suspiciously, hands on her hips and her cheeks puffed up. "... I'll find out later, you."
Mikhail, on the other hand, lolled his head to the side, glancing up at his sister. "Oh... Hello little Rus..." He paused, blinking his eyes sleepily. "Children... Children!! You have children!?"

Coughs
"Yeah mate.. But that's not for awhile.."

"T-then why-?" Rus stopped him with a finger to his lips.
"They came back from the future. Even we're not entirely sure how, but the elder one, Nixie, had my hairclip... So they must be ours... They're lovely girls, though, Miki. I think you'll love them."

"They even say that you raised them for a majority of their lives. They both seem to adore you..."

"O-oh..." Was all Mikhail could really manage to get out, a slightly embarassed look on his face before he looked up at Vance. "I-I'm really sorry for blacking out on you like that... But um... Could you put me down now..?"

"Eh??"
Looks totally embarrassed and puts him down gently

(Mikhail acts like having children after marriage isn't normal. Like they were summoned from Satan. )

(( No, he knows it's normal haha
But who would've expected they already had two children? Haha ))

"T-thank you..." He murmured, dusting off his clothes. "... I... I want to see my new nieces..." He whispered very, very quietly, shooting his sister and step-brother his very best puppy eyes.

(They coulda been twins XD)
Nyahhh Mikhail is so precious I love him.
Vance smirks "absolutely they'd love to see you!! "

(( He doesn't know how long Rus and Vance have been married tho haha ))

"Really?" He grins, bouncing excitedly like the precious being he is as his sister just giggles and smiles at him. "Ooooh, I can't wait!! I bet they're precious!!"

"Of course they are their your sisters daughters after all!"

Rusalka snerked, poking her husband in the chest. "You helped!" Which... Caused Mik to snicker quietly...

(You can hear the disgust in aland from miles away )

(( Yes. Yes you can. ))

im llaughing so much this is amazing
poor sweet mik hhh
