Felix's song suddenly stops, and there is the sound of a plate shattering. Felix curses loudly. "I forgot how dark it is in caves... Hey, Rag? Are you here? It feels like you're here. I'm back."
He hears a deep breath deeper into the caves, and suddenly feels a colossal shaking all around them as Rag’s fist collides with one of the walls before he walks closer to Felix, looking down, his voice rumbling “I don’t believe you.” Tears drip down his face, sizzling on his scales “I have enemies who would pretend to be Felix.” He squats down, looking to them.
Felix sighs and gets up off the stone floor. His eyes are gold instead of pink, but they still glow a bit in the darkness. "I would have brought you more lava, but I'm still recovering from my death." He thinks for a bit, looking at the ground. Then his head snaps up. "Who on earth would be dumb enough to impersonate a dead person to try and get close to you? It would take some serious gall to even enter your range. And it's not like this little body of mine could hurt you, even with magic. Well, I don't know what kinds of spells are out there on second thought, but I know about Meteor Swarm and Power Word Kill, and neither of those would probably even scratch you."
"That's a good way to think about it. I think it's good to be optimistic about people. Helping others is a good practice, and it's a lot easier when you imagine that they're all good people."
"That's very nice, Azabell. You're a natural, I think."
"Indeed." He nods, closing his eyes "I am glad you are back."
"I do not think it is good." He said, looking up.
"Me too." Felix smiles.
"Why do you think that?" Franz sits down next to him.

He chuckles, tears still in his eyes “Some people are more arrogant than others, lying about my best friend being brought back to life, leveraging on the pain I feel. I haven’t hurt this bad since I lost my son.” He takes another deep breath, trembling with a moment of sorrow filled rage “More to crush me mentally then physically.”

"Why do you think that?" Franz sits down next to him.
Angel is still connected to Felix via touch but kinda just stands there. Felix can hear happy little noises coming from, little hoots and such.
"It doesn't feel right in a way." He explains "Like this is nothing."

"That's... awful!" He slams into Rag's leg, hugging him hard, before remembering the precarious situation he's in and pulling back. "I... I'm sorry." His eyes are filled with tears as he rubs the back of his neck. "I... even if I'm not Felix, I think I am. I remember you, I remember everything I served at the feast, I remember Ichigo and Sparrow and Stroth and Riotan and... I can't find any significant gaps in my memories, so I think I'm real." He balls with fists, frustrated, before sighing. "I'm sorry, I've never had to worry about identification before. Well, some people thought I was from a lower family because of my markings being a different color, but that was different."

The moment Felix hugs him he breaks down into tears, hugging him back before he pulls away. He takes another deep breath “It’s… it’s okay, you think you’re Felix, that’s all that matters. I’ve been here ever since you died, keeping myself from hurting anyone, it’s good to have you back.”
"Why do you think that?" Franz sits down next to him.
Angel is still connected to Felix via touch but kinda just stands there. Felix can hear happy little noises coming from, little hoots and such.
"It doesn't feel right in a way." He explains "Like this is nothing."
"You seem excited. Did something happen?"
"Maybe you need to keep working. No one is a master when they start."
"No. I am just happy. I do not normally feel happy, just.. I do not know, I suppose I just feel here. I am content." He explains "Very sorry, I can let go if you wish, I know some people do not enjoy a lot of physical contact."
He nods "Where should I go from here then?" He holds up the painting.
*Franz is literally an art teacher to an 8 ft tall flesh creature who has the brain cells of a kindergartener*
He takes it with his mouth, taking a long drag and letting the smoke billow from his nose “It just… ain’t the same.”
“Do you need me to make up for the work I’ve missed?”
She shakes her head “Nothin’ we can do ta make it better but support them through this time.” She finishes up serving people.
"I know.." She said, running a hand through her golden hair.
"No. It is fine. In my terms, it's a family emergency, you won't be docked." He explains.
He nods "True." and kisses her cheek.
He kisses her cheek softly, leaning against her while his arms wrap around her waist “I… I don’t know what to do anymore…”
He nods, getting a small smile “Thank you, I haven’t been hurting this bad since my son died.”
She smiles wider, grabbing him by the head and kissing him back fully “Oh come now, give me a real kiss.” She says, leaving a smooch mark on his lips.
"Neither do I..." She mumbles "I suppose take it one day at a time?.. Try to get through this?.."
He nods "I know what it is like to some degree.. My own son hates me."
He giggles and kisses her back "Sorry, I missed."
He nods slowly “But how? Everything… it’s just… we lost something that meant so much… I would want revenge, but the Brand is already dead.”
He stands up, walking over and giving him a hug “That sounds awful, I’m sorry you have to deal with that.”
She stands up, cleaning up her station “I’m about done here an’ I ain’t got work fer a few hours. Do ya want ta do somethin’?”
She thinks for a moment "Everything has a soul and an essence... He has no body, no vessel, but I can build one.. then we can get revenge. Take out his family, smoke them out of hiding.." she muses.
"Not as bad as yours.. I am sorry my brother." He hugs him back (Two gym bros hugging lol)
"Maybe you need to keep working. No one is a master when they start."

Felix pulls him close. "Nah. We strugels are built for cuddles."
"Maybe draw a little man. He could look however you like. I think he would be impressed with your spiral."
*Cut for Wendi.*
He takes it with his mouth, taking a long drag and letting the smoke billow from his nose “It just… ain’t the same.”
“Do you need me to make up for the work I’ve missed?”
