Private Finished Morally Questionable Angel to the Rescue

Rem would notice how much Aluin was trembling when the boy gripped the angel's finger, weakly but enough to be able to hold on. Aluin carefully stood up and the scrapes and wounds he got earlier stung a bit. Aluin felt his breath hitch, the pain was so scary, but he squeezed his eyes shut and desperately fought through it. He could cry at home and papa would console him. He had to be braver for now, for just a little longer.
Aluin nodded ever so slightly as an answer to Rem and then he let the angel lead him, eyes firmly towards the ground.

((I think Mint should post one more time, and then Arcadia. Sound good?))

Rem eyed the scratches on the boy. Hopefully they’d have some band aids at his house. He didn’t have any with him now, but this was a good lesson for the future. He could stop by a shop somewhere and get a little first aid kit to keep in his back pack later.

Keeping a smile on his face, he’d walk slowly, holding his finger alongside him with Aluin as they made their way through a neighbourhood. Occasionally he’d say something to the kid. “Good job Aluin, you’re doing great. It won’t be much longer now.”

((I’m good with that.))

As soon as the two made it close to the address that was labeled on Aluin’s card, a figure bursted out of the front door and rushed to the two of them. They both would have likely immediately recognized the person as Alt. Alt quickly ran and swooped in to pick up Aluin very gently as always, softly nuzzling him. “Aluin~~~ I’m so happy you made it home safe, you are later than usual and was worried you got lost.”

Alt quickly took note of the person right next to Aluin and turned their head to look at them. “Oh Remiel! You must have helped Aluin in his way home, thank you so much. Aluin can get a little scared so it’s good that someone helped him home.” Rem would immediately notice Alt’s strange change in tone and very soft speaking voice.

Aluin was so focused on not thinking where they were that when they approached home Aluin didn't even notice. He only noticed when he heard a door opening, and looked up to see papa. Immediately small beads of tears appeared in the corners of Aluin's eyes, and he let go of Remiel's hand so he could reach for papa with his arms. Papa hugged Aluin close and Aluin pressed his face against his chest, letting out the tiniest sobs of fear and relief.

Aluin, after getting his initial tears out, timidly peeked over at Remiel as papa spoke to him and thanked him. Remiel looked less scary from papa's arms, so Aluin was able to turn a bit more towards the angel, give a small nod and mutter
"Thank...you..."

Remiel seemed to freeze up as Altizica of all people appeared out of the door and picked up Aluin. If it wasn't for how Aluin reacted to this, he never in a million years would have believed it. While the two of them actually had a pretty wholesome reunion, Rem just stood there, dumbfounded.

When Alt finally spoke to him, the angel blinked really hard, half expecting to wake up once he opened them again. But sure enough, the self proclaimed god slayer was still there. He took a deep breath and then spoke with what was probably the most forced smile he'd ever worn. "You are welcome... Um, if you don't mind me asking, how do you two know each other?" It was pretty obvious that they had a sort of guardian and child relationship, but Rem still wasn't able to believe that.

Alt actually looked visibly confused by the question. Not that he didn’t know the answer it was more Rem was even asking the question in the first place. “Are you kidding? Aluin is my precious baby boy~ Don’t you see the resemblance?” Alt once again softly nuzzled Aluin’s cheek, cooing and swing his precious baby. “Oh before I forget. Your good friend Mr. Whale had a lovely bath while he waiting for you Aluin~” Alt brought out a very soft yellow whale plushie from seemingly nowhere and gently gave it to Aluin. “He’s excited to play with you!~”

The smile on Remiel's face was scary, Aluin was able to tell that the smile didn't want to be on his face. Aluin was sharp with things like that. He squeezed papa's shirt in his fist a bit tighter and burrowed into his arms, both scared and confused why Remiel was reacting like that to papa. Had papa done something to Remiel? That was scary, Aluin didn't want to believe it...

The moment Alt pulled out Mr. Whale Aluin's shoulders visibly relaxed, and he almost eagerly received the plushie and hugged it against himself. Aluin sniffed it, it didn't smell any different. That was good. Aluin still had bad memories from when papa had given Mr. Whale a bath that had left it smelling sweet and Aluin had cried for days.
"Thank you, papa."
Aluin said at almost normal volume, and squeezed Mr. Whale. Now that Aluin had his safety blanket he was able to look at Remiel more properly, his blood red eyes now having confusion and sadness as well as fear.

Remiel was legitimately unsure if Alt was joking about the resemblance. He didn't see it, but the greatest contrast between the two was their personalities. Altizica had this seemingly endless arrogance to him, whereas Aluin was so afraid of pretty much everything. They were so different.

Was this even okay? sure, right now he actually seemed to be acting like a decent guardian, but Rem knew what he was like and that couldn't be good. If Alt wasn't being a good parent, he'd definitely need to intervene. So far it seemed alright, but the way Aluin acted was also a concern.

He looked at Aluin calmly with a soft smile and asked. "What's your... papa like Aluin?"

Altizica just kinda watched Rem as he asked that question. He perfectly understood why Rem was asking the question, he just didn’t like it. Not because he didn’t want to hear the answer but he didn’t want to put Aluin on the spot. He was always dreading Aluin might panic if a question like this popped up. “Remember Aluin you don’t have to answer if it’s too scary hun.”

The question was scary, Aluin didn't understand why Remiel was asking it. Had papa really done something to him? But papa was nice, he wouldn't do that, right? Thinking about papa doing bad things reminded Aluin of the thing he had been a part of before, the thing that papa had saved Aluin from, and that made him feel very afraid. Aluin started shivering and he hugged Mr. Whale tightly against his chest, burying his face into papa's shirt. But papa wanted to also answer Remiel. Questions were scary, but if he didn't answer at all Remiel might think more badly of papa. Aluin was smart enough to understand that. So, despite being scared and having small tear beads at the corners of his eyes, Aluin turned his head and looked at Remiel properly when he said quietly
"Papa is...a nice papa. He is scary but...among least scary things...in the world. Please...don't be...afraid of papa."
Aluin looked up at papa, and then quietly repeated at him
"Papa, scary nice boy...is afraid. I feel it. Please...be nice...okay...?"
Because Aluin very well knew how awful it was to be scared all the time, and he didn't want the person who yes, was scary, but had also helped him get home, to be scared.
