[ there are quick thank you's exchanged once the last of the sprites have been delivered safe and sound, but soon after that, sariel is ushered out of the shop with a shiny unicorn card with 'death' written at the bottom. he doesn't understand what it's supposed to be for but he does hide it away in his pocket, thinking it'd be useful later on. whenever that may be.
not that he worries about it too much, considering where they're headed. his mind has already switched focus on the ants they're about to see and not so much anything related to the task they were previously busy with. it doesn't take long for them to make it to the park, and while the scene laid out before them is beautiful as it bathed under orange-red light, nothing can compare to how fascinating the prismatic ants are in front of him.
his amazement is almost child-like, wide-eyed and innocent. ]
... Pretty.
[ he doesn't realize when exactly he'd decreased the distance before him and the ants, but it becomes obvious when lucio presents a few of them on his hand. his bright blue eyes blink out of surprise, backing off just a bit. he's reminded of the time when belial told him to be gentle with the ants, so as not to crush them - ]
If it can protect them like that, and help them live long lives- [ slowly, he extends his own hand to allow the ants to crawl on his fingers. their outer shell glimmer with all the colours of a rainbow under the setting sun. ] Wouldn't that be nice?
[ he would protect them all, if he could, but even he understands that sometimes the simplest wishes can be hard to grant. ]
