1x1 rpw roleplay ;; castor and mani

[wolf ;;]

"You can talk to me." Mani said. "We might have not known each other for too long - but I can always listen." She added, and then she glanced at the sky, the moon. "Its better then nothing, better then keeping it in."

[hypnowave]

Castor tried to say thanks, but his throat went dry, and all he did was sob harder. He hated this, but at the same time, it was a relief, a great relief. The weight was slowly lifting off his worn-out shoulders.

[wolf ;;]

Mani then looked at him again, and gently put a hand on his shoulder - there was nothing else she could do, or so she thought anyway. Hopefully that would be enough, and she said nothing.

[hypnowave]

After a while, Castor sniffed. "Just... I-I have been around for... for years." He tried his best at explaining. "I cannot g-grow up. And never have, not anymore. A-and then he... left before me... And I..." He broke off and started crying again.

[ boredom. ]

[wolf ;;]

Mani listened quietly. He couldn't grow up? She had heard of that before...it was fairly rare, from what she had heard, anyway. She continued to listen, thinking about what he said after...who had left before him. "Who is...he?" She asked, quietly - if he didn't want to say, he didn't have to.

[awww quq]

"He... I... I loved him," Castor tried to keep his voice under control, but it was hard, it became high-pitched. "He's the one behind all these dreams... he's a ghost. I... he could have died happy, but I... he couldn't leave me."

[ might color when I have the time qvq meanwhile, I'll summarize the stuff, basically Castor's grief kept Seven's soul anchored to the earth, so Seven can't stay in a peaceful afterlife, but he doesn't mind watching over Castor. ]

[wolf ;;]

Mani didn't know how to react...so this ghost, this Seven, was the cause of the dreams? She felt sorry for the winged wolf - she had never loved someone, not like the way Castor seemed to love this ghost.

ahh ok, its so interesting ovo]

"And..." Castor kept his breathing at a steadier pace. His frustrated sobbing began to subside, and it became replaced by a sort of longing melancholy. "He died... because of me. I led him in-into the forest, and he got attacked... I could have saved him... I could have saved him."

[wolf ;;]

Mani sighed softly, watching him - what a horrible way to die, from going into the forest and being attacked. "Its not your fault, what happened." She said. "Don't go blaming yourself for it."

[hypnowave]

"It... it's different. H-he didn't get attacked by a f-fox, or a bear... I attacked him." Castor buried his face in his arms. He didn't want to remember that day, that horrible day, but it was all flooding back to him, that cursed dam and its poison water.

[ plot twist much? ]
