Cross Effects: Rebirth (2.0) The RP
Daiki:
Enkidu - Subway Station
Enkidu seeked the intent behind the behavior shown. The Dragon didn't look really proud this instant. Perhaps was it a little anxious or shameful which was rather odd for the fierce species. The Creation of Enki patted the beast between the shoulders. There, something was missing. No wings. Not even protuberances. Nothing which would allow the creature to soar through the sky. It was forever denied reach a domain it could only contemplate.
An all too familiar feeling for someone who walked side by side with Gilgamesh. A mere doll made of clay once questioned his own existence and theorized that he was only meant to be a tool. But it was only a misconception on his part. Something the King corrected by gifting him with the most cherished present, far more precious than any treasure resting in the royal vault.
Enkidu looked back at Lycodrake Aptera and started talking calmly.
"What you were granted with at birth. What you were denied from the moment of your first breath. Each and every parts are what constitute you as an entity of value. As a whole individual. It does not matter if you are a different. It does not make you any less valuable."
He gave a friendly tap on Lyco's muscular shoulder.
"I was born without a soul. I didn't have a sense of self. No man was like me for I was only a mere construction to be tossed after my assignment completed. I only had a role and I failed to fulfill it. Truly, there was no need for something like me to even continue to exist. Yet..."
He paused.
"... This man accepted me by his side. I had tried to kill him and after my failure, I had nothing to offer. I thought that I would simply disappear. But he chose me as a friend. He gave me more than I could ever repay. Me, a soulless creation with no worth."
Enkidu had an happy expression.
"What I am trying to say is that even a defectuous tool like me could find something to be proud of. You, Wingless One, have no reason to feel ashamed for being how you are."

Lycodrake Aptera was overwhelmed by a sense of empathy, both toward himself by Enkidu, and toward Enkidu. He felt alone in his shame. He had been called a defect by his arrogant, prideful kin. He nodded and agreed when [Athena] Nike and Marie told him otherwise, but the self-doubt still haunted him.
He had thought “what worth is there in a dragon - beings of fire and air - without flight?” countless times.
Yet this time the words weren’t just from those who cared about him yet did not understand or had not experienced it, but from one who had struggled with existential doubt. He smiled solemnly then in thanks to the green-haired man, gracious for his understanding and heart-felt encouragement.

Arcueid caressed the Elemental's feathers with a distracted expression. She let Heroic Spirit and Phoenix interact with each other for a moment before crossing her arms and leaning forward with a frown.
"No good. That's no good at all, Mister Twitching Eyebrows. You should go and meet new people."
She opened her arms to embrace the Nexus.
"This city is pretty big. Surely you can find find people to get along with. Or maybe you're antisocial?" She considered him for a second. "Hm, indeed you look the part. Even your clothing sense is all wrong. Guess I'll have to help you." She sighed dramatically. "I intended to go back early to watch some new movies but now I can't leave and simply ignore a sad and lonely puppy like you."
With a finger pointed towards the King of Heroes, she yelled.
"I hereby declare Operation One Thousand Friends start now!!"

--- End quote ---
"So where do you plan to go, then, if you are foreign to this city too?" Rattus asked him. "By the looks of it, you have nowhere to go because if you have one, you won't be walking around in such a weak state. At least I and my companion here have our home transported to this city. We also have a private mean of transportation too. We have enough money to last us a lifetime and we are speaking as immortals in this context. Yes, I am sounding off as an arrogant and ostentatious person here. You might not want what I offer to you but, whether you admit it or not, you will need it." He momentarily paused. "You say you are busy, but you have nowhere to go. What you said is a paradox. But I won't force you anymore. For us to preserve you is your gain, for us to not to is your loss." He then turned his back on him and started walking away. He then said to the green-haired lady, "Let's go, Yukina. We can't help those people who don't help themselves."
She then walked towards him a bit and then said to the man in red with a raised voice, "Goodbye, stranger! I hope you will always be safe, alright?!"

Gilgamesh's voice held a wistful tone as he held out a hand to the Phoenix.

Phoenix let out happy chirps letting his warmth roll of it like waves. Letting the King's hand touch its beak.
Its friend remembers it. Phoenix could not be happier in this moment. It isn’t alone anymore. So happy, so happy, so happy, so happy, so happy.
Then the Gaia child began talking.

FRIENDS! Phoenix began to chirp excitedly. MORE AND MORE FRIENDS!
Phoenix began to shake, feathers bellowing off it, until there was only a cloud them where it once stood.
And then from the cloud the Phoenix emerged with the feathers scattering to the winds floating into the city, now the size of a falcon the sunbird began flying above both the Gaia child and his friend in a circle around them.
