Chapter Text
Imagine getting humbled by a girl with a staff and some flowers. Imagine. 'Cause that totally didn't happen to Doomsekkar. Yep, definetely not. She managed to somehow escape her bindings and was now hiding out from her creator. A fight where she got her ass handed to her by a Thief was definetely not involved.
Doomsekkar stood infront of a water mirror loosely held together, staring at the bright pink flower that had sprouted in her eye with a disgruntled expression. No idea how that managed to get in there, but she didn't notice the seed earlier, so now she had to deal with it. It... looked nice, yeah, but having a flower in your eye is kind of annnoying.
No matter though. Overfocusing on that was moreas to distract from the strange feelings she was harboring. Watchers aren't supposed to feel... what? Embarassment? Mild fondness? Why in the world was she getting attached to a random demon she saw once that also pelted her with petals?!!
Watchers aren't supposed to feel like this, clearly. She never did before. So why did she do now? Why in the damn-
Doomsekkar sighed. She shouldn't be getting mad at such silly things - anger. That was another thing she didn't feel in a while. But, seriously. She really couldn't stop thinking about the girl she'd seen. What would be a good word to describe her? Delicate? Determined? Pretty-
hey, what is pretty anyways?? The word just kind of spawned in her mind and she immediately associated it to the Thief, not really considering what it meant. But even when doing that, it still felt quite fitting...
The watcher audibly groaned and put her hands on her face, back arching. She really needed to get her thoughts in order, before they got out of hand - but it was already too late, wasn't it?
Their mind was full of her- the way she looked so unamused and composed despite the flurry of attacks Doom had been chucking at her, how she was so nonchalant during the entire thing, the way she casually had fixed her ponytail mid battle whilst still dodging their attacks!?
It all made an odd, unfamiliar feeling bubble up in her chest, and she grasped at it, looking for answers. Her mind wandered back to the fact it isn't normal for a watcher to feel like this, but she just... couldn't help it.
--------------------------------
Vine staff didn't really want to explain to her brother and Slingshot that she had scars from freeing some random watcher that evidently had sight issues because it took them being pelted with petals for about a solid half an hour to realize that she wasn't Ghostwalker.
"Vine, seriously. You're making us worried. What happend?"
"Nobody gets hurt like that on a trip to the flower shop. ...Unless you nearly got eaten by a plant-"
"No, no - nothing like that. But, I...-"
She sighed. Those two damn well knew how much she hated to see them worried, and she couldn't keep lying through her teeth.
"I took a wrong turn -I'm not sure when-, and I- ended up in this... place? It felt unfamiliar, it was just a platform and around it was full of plants. I had a feeling I shouldn't have been there, but I stayed, and-"
"and?-" "Shuri!"
"...and there was somebody in a cage, but not a typical one - some sort of magic one, and I... freed them. But they confused me for Ghostwalker or something, from what I understood, and so I had to fight them."
Upon looking up, Vine Staff found that her roommates were staring at her in disbelief. Slingshot had more of a worried tone, whilst Shuriken... didn't really seem like he got it.
"So- what?? There's just this- person out and about now because of you??"
"...yes, I assume. Ghosdeeri may know something about them, because they looked quite alike, and if I recall I heard them mention her at some point - they were blabbering to themselves a lot."
"Oh my SFOTH-" Sling put his face in his hands. "what have you done, Vine...?"
"Who's Ghosdeeri again?" Shuri muttered.
"Shuriken I really hope you're joking."
"No-"
"The librarian that sometimes we run into on our way to Phights, who always greets us..."
"Ooh, the one who also decorated your horns that one time?"
"Yes. She's done much more besides that, but yes."
"Aaalright!"
