Posted 2022-07-16 23:00:39 (edited) #796586 Alr! I have severe ADHD and mild autism, so I rabbit hole sometimes too! XD )) Hitashi raised an eyebrow at the other's tone, but didn't bother responding at first. Though, several things they said caught his attention. "Three things. One, my 'makers' raised me just fine, thank you very much. Two, why would anyone be talking about me? Three, why're they doing that? I figured most everyone was asleep by now, so who gave the order?" He asked, turning to face the other, though he was still settled on the ground. He admired the other's outward appearance, though he quickly caught himself and began to work on the flowers yet again. He'd heard of those with odd coloured hair and eyes, but had yet to meet one of these people himself.

They explained, smiling coyly as they spoke but checking their nails instead of having their full attention on the man gardening. "You can tale a gander at who gave the order." They walked around Hitashi, taking a glance at what he was doing. Grim tried to keep his daily activities scheduled and planned out, but it didn't always go as he hoped. This included his sleep, he could be awake all night or sleep on and off. It wasn't unusual to be having or doing odd things at odd hours.

Posted 2022-07-16 23:31:47 #796594 Hitashi was sitting loosely criss-crossed as he worked, hardly noticing the figure that seemed to be hovering around him. "Unless you're referring to yourself, then I'm still confused as to who gave the order." He shrugged, standing up and walking over to the water pump. He picked up the watering can next to it and began filling it, humming quietly by mistake. He walked back to the main patio and watered the sections he'd gotten done, proud of how much progress he'd made in such a short amount of time. He glanced up, noticing that the moon was nearing its peak. He observed for a moment, but didn't say anything about it.

If Grim had been around in the moment, the pink haired individual would be more inclined to keep their insults to themselves. "Master Messores of course, everyone listens to him. When he's absent, the other elites squabble about their ridiculous ideas. Ah I can't stand them." They continued onto a bit of a rant about their colleagues. "Go to the dinning room, you'll see. Or do you need me to tell you everything else?" Their coy demeanour had taken a turn for ashort-temperness. It was somewhat easy to see why they weren't apart of the king's ranks.

Posted 2022-07-16 23:57:01 #796602 Hitashi wasn't at all surprised by the comment, but that didn't mean he wasn't offended by it. He was fully prepared to protest, but he grew wary of the living highlighter's short temper. "Alright, alright-" He sighed, setting down the watering can and brushing the remaining dirt off of his hands. "No need to be so harsh." He mumbled, heading back towards the door. "And in case you weren't told, my name is Hitashi. I'd prefer you call me by name rather than 'Aldonian', please." He spoke over his shoulder before going inside. He hadn't even been here a full day, and had already managed to end up with a migraine. The staff here were starting to stress him out, and he wanted nothing more than to just find somewhere quiet to think. However, he knew better than to argue with the older staff member. As he wandered the halls, it quickly dawned on him that he hadn't actually been shown how to get to the dining hall. Instead of panicking, or going back to ask the other, he simply continued to wander. He was still fascinated by the architecture, so he didn't mind taking a minor detour to observe it a bit.

Posted 2022-07-17 00:32:54 #796610 Living highlighter LMAO I drew that character's design with a highlighter )) Grim was making his way to the dinning room after once again shutting himself in his office for a few hours. Even though he was shunned by the people and others of high status, he still had to shoulder the affairs of two estates. It was difficult to explain what he was doing most of the time, the most responsible answer was that he oversaw all the morgues, funeral parlours, graveyards and kept track of death certificates. No one else would want to do it, there was someone who did the opposite of Grim though and even that job was considered hard in a positive light. It required a great deal of memory to recall names, dates and locations. All the work didn't cause Grim's uneasiness though, he was accustomed to all the paperwork that needed to be done quickly. He'd become acutely aware of Hitashi's presence in the manor. He wanted to know that he was comfortable in the environment, that he was being treated as fairly as his staff could manage. He didn't want to ask though, restraining from showing care outwardly. The man he'd been thinking about was just up ahead, admiring the architecture once again.

Posted 2022-07-17 00:46:25 (edited) #796617 Broooo- That's fate at it's finest XD )) Hitashi continued down the hall, tracing the patterns on the wall as he walked. He could feel he was being stared at yet again, and it was beginning to piss him off. "Do you mind?" He suddenly halted, gritting his teeth while trying to keep his temper under control. "I'm quite sick of being watched." He sighed, taking a breath and leaning back against the wall. Hitashi didn't even bother to look back and see who it was. His head was pounding, and he was certain he'd overworked himself today. He slowly slid down the wall, pulling his knees up to his chest as he sat on the floor. "I don't even know where I'm going, okay? If you wanted me to feel like a fool, then congratulations." He mumbled, closing his eyes and resting his head on his knees. Had he known the one watching him was Grim, and not another staff member, his reaction would've been far different. He'd been taught better than to show weakness in front of anyone, let alone someone of a higher status. All his life, Hitashi had been the one taking care of everyone. His mother was always so busy with work that he'd practically raised himself and his siblings on his own, and here he was yet again, working his ass off for them. He knew his mother tried, but it wasn't enough to support all of them. There was always so much pressure being put on him that it felt as if he could hardly breathe some days, but every time he felt himself beginning to break, he remembered that if he broke, no one would be there to support his mother and siblings. He was trapped in a cycle that he didn't think he'd ever escape.

Posted 2022-07-17 01:52:06 (edited) #796627 Grim drew nearer, he had no reason to avoid Hitashi after all. But it seemed there was once again a cause of mistaken identity or not knowing who his words were being directed at. "I-I didn't realise I was staring again, I apologise." Grim nervously replied. He'd caught himself staring once or twice before, hoping that it wasn't noticeable when it was. His intentions not to display his concern for the other instantly failed as he crouched down in front of him, placing his black gloved hands on his knees. Ew that was so short ))

Posted 2022-07-17 12:23:11 #796779 Hitashi thought he recognized the voice, but couldn't quite put his finger on it's origins. It instantly clicked, though, when he felt a hand on his knee. He glanced up and quite literally jumped. "GAH- Uhh- I uh-" He stammered, realising he'd just said all of that to Lord Messores. "I-I'm sorry. I th-thought you were someone else." He mumbled, looking back down at the ground. "Get your shit together, Hitashi. You look like an idiot just sitting there; Stand up." He scolded himself, standing up and putting his hands behind his back yet again. "Christ- I'll be lucky if he doesn't have my head for lecturing him like that." He panicked, almost able to hear his heart beating in his chest. Though he was trying to keep his eyes trained in one place, his head was still pounding. That sudden scare with Grim had only made it worse, too. He winced slightly, trying to ignore the throbbing so that he could focus. With one hand behind his back, he was digging into the other wrist in an attempt to refocus himself. At first, I didn't know what your preferred response length was, so that was actually our average for a while before we started doing longer responses XD ))

Posted 2022-07-18 09:26:16 #797272 Hitashi's yelp had shocked him, flinching in fright at the sudden sound. His mind instinctively  pointed that he'd done something rather than unintentionally frightened him. Being blamed for things was a common reoccurrence despite the way he tried to keep to himself and his own business. He remembered not to carelessly come into contact with other beings. He stood back up, slouching a little in his posture and not towering over Hitashi as much as he could. "Who did you think I was? No one else should be around." Grim said. Surprisingly the second part wasn't directed at the staff members that could potentially be listening in, now wasn't the time to be doing such a thing. I felt like I could've written more but I got a little stumbled ))
