Granted, everything around her now felt like a constant danger, and she has been driven to the brink of paranoia more times than she'd like, but she finally acquired the sort of freedom that she wished she had from the start, all while being able to provide for her family, though at a high cost of leaving them behind.[break][break] It'd been about a month to the day since she made her decision and departed her hometown, and it was nervewracking when she stepped back in through these walls. The only reason she came back was to deliver a part of her earnings to her family and show them how well off she was by herself, but she couldn't find herself to face them. Instead, she slipped an envelope under the front door of her family's home, and walked right off. Not wanting her presence to be anything worth mentioning, she spent the rest of her day revising places she used to frequent.[break][break] Her favorite stone bench at the park-like recreational area, the small farmer's market that housed a number of vendors selling their own produce, and.. well, her guild. At least, standing where she was and looking in, she never truly did feel like she belonged, so regardless of what her family thought and what the rest of her former guildmates made of her abrupt leave, she knew she made the right choice. She may be an outsider now, but it wasn't like she was ever going to forget the few years she spent here. It was a difficult time in her life, one that messed with her mind and stressed her out to no end. At the end of the day, the people here are a family - a dysfunctional one that had its flaws like most others, she just wished she appreciated it more.[break][break] Even though Cheshire tried her best to not look noticeable, her efforts were.. questionable at best. Instead of blending in with the other townsfolk, the jeans-jacket-hat combo probably made her stand out like she was some sort of suspicious figure roaming around, scouting the grounds of the guild. Well, here's hoping she wouldn't run into anyone she knew. Heck, it was about time she took her leave soon, anyway. "Eh.. maybe I do miss it. Or maybe I just like the idea of missing something. Whatever."[attr=class,punkiwofleft] [attr=class,punkiwofright] [attr=class,punkiwofcredit]by punki

Koji was often seen perched atop the shale roof of the Cait Shelter building, his twin tails flinging idly from side to side as he idly observed the natural forest around him. he found that such solitary time relaxed him. At times, it was stifling to assume the role of guild master and Koji yearned for the simpler times when it was simply his brother and himself fending for themselves against the world.
Still, he had no regrets upon the formation of this guild. It was a point of pride for him, to establish a safe haven – or something close to one – for similar lost individuals to himself so many years ago.
These were the thoughts that permeated through his mind as he noticed a particularly familiar wanderer around the cobble walls of the guild building.
Even from the distance, the exceed was familiar enough with his members to be able to discern their identity from their gait and the way they held themselves, even unusual attire aside. "Cheshire?" He murmured softly.
Silently, like the cat he was, the exceed sprung from the rooftop and easily landed onto the soft dirt in front of the guild.
"Cheshire." He repeated, calling out towards the female a little louder. "Do you need help?"

For starters, Cheshire has always felt nervous around the guild master. Then again, she felt nervous around most people, but there was a different air around this Exceed in particular that made him seem.. intimidating, and she's had the opportunity to be graced by the presence of a few others who could rival him in terms of power.[break][break] Now that her cover's blown, the raven-haired feline took off her hat and stuffed it inside one of the pockets of her leather jacket. Try as she might, her brain just couldn't come up with the appropriate words for any responses to be made. So begins the nervous fidgeting of her fingers and the beads of sweat accumulating on her forehead.[break][break] Thankfully, her new environment has subjected her to various experiences that did help with her lack of confidence. Normally, she'd have said nothing and simply walked off. Right now, despite the haziness in her brain, two words stood out and shone above the rest. "I'm alright."[break][break] Hey, at least she tried. Besides, no one said it was meaningful. Through the few years she's spent with the guild, Cheshire probably has never had more than a handful of proper conversations with the individual standing before her, and it wasn't his fault. She knew that if she made more of an effort to improve herself, she'd have a much better time getting along with the folks around here. Alas, it was not meant to be.[break][break] "What.. about you?"[attr=class,punkiwofleft] [attr=class,punkiwofright] [attr=class,punkiwofcredit]by punki

Koji was only vaguely aware of his apparently unapproachable presence towards the ex-member in the past. However, given the perspiration on her forehead as well her fidgeting fingers, it was evident that she still did not feel totally comfortable around him. A part of him regretted this. Perhaps he should have made more of an effort to make her belong. Maybe if he did, she would not have left…
"Good to hear." The exceed responded in kind. He had never been fond of excess words, considering those who spoke too much to know little. Thus, he respected Cheshire's brevity, attributing it more to solemn efficiency, rather than nervousness.
"I've been well too." The cat simply provided, before padding towards the Cait Shelter cottage's oak door. It creaked as he swung it open and he gestured Cheshire to enter.
Tilting his head back so that he caught the girl in his peripheral vision, he invited her, "Come sit. Once a Cait Shelter member, always a Cait Shelter member." Warmth began to seep into his voice as he repeated the mantra and an unashamed amount of parental fondness glowed in his single eye. "You may no longer have our guild insignia on you, but you still have a place in our hearts."
A little more poetic than Koji would have bothered with, but he figured that a little flair would assist with comforting Cheshire. The poor girl looked like a coiled spring ready to burst at any moment.

It'd been a short while since she's seen the place, though she knew for certain nothing much would have changed in the span of time since she'd been gone. Still, it had a homey vibe that so many others appreciated. Back then, her routine was simple - she'd come in, greet whoever's inside with short hi's and bye's, then she'd leave for her odd job of the day. As a result, she never really got any better as a magician, or even as a person. Her development became stagnant, and a change of pace and environment was necessary before she drove herself insane with how mundane her life had become.[break][break] "Thanks.." A lot has happened since she's made her choice, but she never thought she'd be welcomed back like this. She's always heard of the guild master's protectiveness over his litter, she's just never around to experience it firsthand. Most of those who learned under his tutelage probably amounted to bigger and better things, all while proudly displaying their marks as representatives of Cait Shelter. Maybe he felt the same way about her before she left, but she never did find out. "How's uh.. everything here? I see you have a few new recruits running around."[break][break] Cheshire's eyes darted around the familiar surroundings. She stood in place for a moment after stepping in the modestly-sized structure, soaking in what could potentially be her last time seeing things from the perspective of her old self. It didn't seem that long ago, but it sure did feel that way. Where she's staying now, there are days where she questioned whether she made the right decision, overwhelmed by homesickness and how much she missed her family, regardless if they felt the same.[break][break] The raven-haired feline glanced over toward a darker part of the living-room-like area, situated next to a shelf of books that she had gone through multiple times over. It was the only spot of the building where she ever did feel comfortable, and it wasn't because of her affinity with the shadows. Being alone all the time was as much as preference as it was a crutch, after all. "Did you wanna.. talk or something? Could've done that outside. This- sigh.. It feels kinda weird being here now. N-Not that I mind it at all, Master Koji."[attr=class,punkiwofleft] [attr=class,punkiwofright] [attr=class,punkiwofcredit]by punki

"Everything is the same, more or less." Koji provided, pulling out a seat at a nearby table for Cheshire before taking his own seat. At this hour of the day, most of the Cait Shelter mages were out and about, thus both master and ex-member were treated to rare privacy. "Orion is still drinking." The disapproval in his tone melted to warmth. "Although he has brought home a girl…" He recalled meeting the water slayer, who had seemed even more nervous and shy than Bonnie. "Topaz is still... Topaz."
Koji met Cheshire's eyes. "I know it was this stagnancy which pushed you away. But some crave stability and that is what we provide." The exceed followed the woman's gaze towards the bookshelf which housed perhaps Cait Shelter's most precious possessions.
"I am interested in how your life is faring after you left." He prodded gently, although the cat's curiosity in his voice was hard to disguise. "It's easier to talk in privacy, inside." His brows furrowed slightly into a frown as he clasped his paws together on the table. "No need to call me that. I am no longer your master." Even amongst current members, Koji was never fond of such a formal address. It put such an artificial separation between him and the other mages.

There didn't seem to be any animosity between the two, but you could cut the tension in the air with a knife and spread it on toast. Most of the other members of the guild have probably had their heart-to-heart moments with their master, it's just that Cheshire's always had this unapproachable air about her that made it a near-impossible interaction to have. Call it pride, call it ego - she'd simply refuse any help offered by anyone, because she feels that she should be the only one dealing with her own problems.[break][break] "I know." Taking the seat offered by the Exceed, the half-feline chuckled at the mention of all her former guildmates. After hearing that, she was kind of glad to have made that decision and left out of her own accord before she found herself sucked back in by the pleas of everyone around her. "There's nothing wrong with that. I've always been the odd one out. If anyone's to blame, it'd be me for not making an effort to get along with the others."[break][break] "Life's good. Could always be better." Stability and stagnancy went hand in hand. If she hadn't left the village, she'd never have known about all the other things happening outside these mountainous terrains. There were many who came and sought refuge here, the embrace of mother nature being a huge contributing factor, along with the protection Cait Shelter offered. Generations of kids who have grown into adulthood and had children of their own, and only a limited number of them had ever seen what's beyond these walls. Still, she understood why. "You'd be a fool to leave a place that has so much. Mom and Dad's always said I'm foolish. Guess I'm just living up to their expectations."[break][break] Her familial situation was always a double-edged sword. She loved them dearly, but could never have felt the same reciprocation. Cheshire came along at a time where it wasn't convenient for either of her parents to settle down and raise her, and due to their inexperience and naivety, she'd spend most of her youth feeling neglected. The age gap between her and her younger siblings was huge too. Add to the fact that she's always working, hoping that she'd somehow scrape enough money from various odd jobs for her family to get by each month, they've grown apart. [break][break] "Well, you're still my first master, as well as the current master of this guild." She shrugged, a light smile surfacing across her face as her usual stoicism faded into the background. By this point, she's yet to actually reveal many details about her current endeavors. It was done on purpose of course. There's already been rumors about what she's been up to since the day she left, anyway. "And I'm kinda known to make people feel uncomfortable, so you're still Master Koji to me."[attr=class,punkiwofleft] [attr=class,punkiwofright] [attr=class,punkiwofcredit]by punki

Koji raised a brow in response to Cheshire taking the blame for her reclusiveness but chose not to argue the matter. He would have liked to reassure her was it was okay to be different. To be the odd one out. But it clearly wasn't the case, if it caused her to be driven out of the very place she was supposed to call home.
He was at least content to hear that Cheshire was content with her life now. "We all have different needs and desires. If Cait Shelter did not have what you needed, then it would have been cruel of us to ask you to stay." Koji said. "I'd hardly call it foolish." Her parents did not sound like the more supportive of people, but considering how young of an age Koji was orphaned, he had little frame of reference into the intricacies of biological families.
He adopted a bittersweet smile at Cheshire's insistence to persist with the formality. "It is rare for me to be uncomfortable in my own home. In any case I won't stop you."
"Forgive me for my intrusiveness." His gaze dropped to rest onto his paws, still rested on top of the worn table. "Do you have any other reasons why you chose to revisit Cait Shelter? Other than for nostalgia's sake, if at all."

Maybe she had not only grown tired of Cait Shelter, but the entire village as a whole. It wasn't an easy thought process that others would've been able to decipher without walking in her shoes. This place grew its own food, raised its own livestock, and was under the protection of a guild that had a fair number of skilled magicians. Why on earth would she choose to leave? "Tell that to the hundred-or-so people who tried to convince my parents that I've finally lost my mind."[break][break] As for the last question, it wasn't anything Cheshire had a concrete answer to. Despite her qualms with a lot of what's happened back then, she still had a sort of sentimental attachment to this place. "I came back to drop off some money to my folks. Wanted to lay low for the most part, and I figured that since I had time to kill before I had to leave again, maybe I'd take a stroll down memory lane. To all the places I used to frequent, to see if anything's changed."[break][break] The girl sunk into her chair, twiddling her thumbs. Though her face remains stoic, one could detect a small bit of resentment brewing from within. "Kinda didn't expect to bump into you, but like.. here we are. Not that there's anything wrong with that! It just feels weird, you know? Imagine your whole life, nobody gave much of a crap about you. The second you say you wanna leave, everyone starts gossiping about you like you're some kind of weird flavor of the month."[attr=class,punkiwofleft] [attr=class,punkiwofright] [attr=class,punkiwofcredit]by punki

Koji dipped his head in acknowledgement of Cheshire's reason to leave. No matter how many times he heard it, the simple act to leave the refuge of Cait Shelter caused his heart to wrench in a bittersweet forlornness wholly unique to a guild master.
It was heart-warming to learn that she hadn't wholly abandoned her roots. At least, there was something remained which wanted to revisit old memories. To see if anything changed? Nothing has. That would've only affirmed the woman's reason to leave. He could not please everyone, although it pained him to admit it. The guild master continued to remain pensively silent, letting the woman speak.
"I suppose people dislike change. They took you for granted." He offered lamely, although the reason itself sounded flat even to his own ears. To put it plainly, Cheshire's whole experience in Rhyolite Village sounded extremely disheartening. He would have loved to play the role of a wise mentor offer some sort of sage mystical advice. But he had nothing.
"Did you… did you find what you were looking for?"

Eyeing the Exceed who she once looked up to, she'd pose a question that had some heavy implications behind it. Growing up, she's never had high hopes or high expectations from life. Being born at the wrong time, or being the first unwanted child during a rocky phase of her parents' relationship. Outside these walls, none of those details mattered. Over here, people wouldn't let the image of a strange loner girl who has had a past with substance abuse slip their minds. Heck, when she started taking on all the odd jobs, most folks thought she was doing it to feed her growing addiction, when in actuality she's already curbed it the best she could. And here sits the only person in years who was trying to pry into her mind, if only to understand a little bit more of where she's coming from. "I take it you're not a huge fan of it too."[break][break] Once more, Cheshire's eyes darted around the familiar surroundings. Aside from perhaps a couple pieces of new furniture, there wasn't anything fresh, and it hadn't been for a long time. She understood how a lot of the folks in this village felt complacent, like there wasn't a need for them to go through any extremities when their daily routines were all they needed to get by. There's nothing wrong with that mentality. It's just that if she continued on acting like she's completely satisfied with her everyday life, she'd probably fall back to the dark thoughts that have plagued her since youth.[break][break] "I've found a lot of things." She admitted, choosing her words carefully while she answered. There's still a lot of things out there tugging at the strings of her curiosity, but from the brief smile that she flashed - a rare occurrence in and of itself, she definitely does seem like she's discovered her path. "Maybe not what I'm looking for just yet, but.. I've got enough to keep me going."[break][break] Getting back on her feet, there's a minor issue that's been clawing at the back of her mind since the moment she sat down. Cheshire casually strolled to a part of the room where they stored all the writing utensils and grabbed herself a blank piece of paper. Folding it approximately eight times into a tiny square, she'd return to the table and tugged it underneath one of its wobbly legs. It did make her wonder if anyone's done this since she left, but the thought quickly dissipated. "Guess if there's anything good about not changing things, you still kinda know where some stuff's being kept."[attr=class,punkiwofleft] [attr=class,punkiwofright] [attr=class,punkiwofcredit]by punki

"Not a huge fan of change? Only when it causes harm and distress." Koji offered a bitter smile. "And it does, more often and not. Hence why I err on the side of caution." Indeed founding the guild was a welcome change. The alterations which his brother had suffered afterwards – less so. His memory flashed with a monstrous transformation of Topaz before Koji blinked away the thought.
Something positive at least entered their conversation then, as Cheshire confirmed that her departure was a success, or at least, proving out to be. "It pleases me to know."
When Cheshire rose from her chair, Koji half expected that to be the end of their brief chat and for the woman to leave. It seemed that there was little else he could have offered her. That was, until she sauntered across to grab a makeshift tool to stabilise the rickety table. A smile cracked across Koji's face at this.
It was pleasant to know that the mage was not a total stranger. The sliver of familiarity at which she exhibited contented him. Thus, it was with all sincerity in which he said:
"I never wanted to doubt you. But a parent always worries when a child leaves the nest." Looking down, Koji unfurled a sleeve-covered paw to reveal a Solid Script word hovering inside his palm.
The characters 変化する floated in a deep ethereal glow, illuminating the faces of both those present. As he watched, the word would ripple like waves on the surface of a pond, morphing into a variety of sizes and shimmering in different colours. All the while, despite the transformations, the characters remained recognisable.
"It was nice to see you again." Koji said quietly.

And I kinda feel it from a lot of folks here, too." The winds of change weren't always a welcome thing. Sometimes it could be too drastic, or sometimes it simply ruined the comfortable routines most people have already developed and wanted to keep at. For the longest time, she thought the people here were too dull and complacent with their lives, but after going out there and experiencing the extremes for herself, she knew it wasn't for everyone. A fool, she was, to leave her friends and family behind, and a fool she would remain.[break][break] Those kind-hearted words did tug at her heartstrings. With most of the villagers assuming the worst of her, Cheshire never thought she'd ever hear anything of that sort from anyone ever again, much less the master of the guild she's quit. At times, she can be quite the emotional wreck - not that she'd ever willingly show it if she had a choice, but it almost did bring a tear to her eye. Almost.[break][break] What did make her tear up though, was the Exceed's display of powers in a manner that warmed her heart. A faint glow encompassing the few letters that made up the symbols of the word 'Change', rippling in midair as the backgrounds shifted, every scenery reflecting a calm and tranquil atmosphere, and the one thing that remained constant were the symbols themselves. It wasn't anything that can be explained or put into words, but she felt it, and was extremely grateful to have received it as a parting gift of sorts.[break][break] There were still many things that she wished to know, many life experiences that she wished she could ask of her former master, but she knew it wasn't her place anymore. Though, if he was able to indulge her at least one last time..[break][break] "Why'd you make this place? Cait Shelter. I know it's a weird question, but I just.. it's a huge leap of faith, wasn't it? Deciding on it, then acting on it. Did you uh- ever.. regret it?"[attr=class,punkiwofleft] [attr=class,punkiwofright] [attr=class,punkiwofcredit]by punki

Koji's gaze remained directed away from Cheshire at her questioning. He did make a bittersweet smile, however.
"For most of our lives, my brother and I struggled for survival. Fighting for scraps and thieving to eat. Running away from beasts and humans alike. We slept under trees and on the streets." He provided, closing his eye as memories flashed across his mind. "Then we met someone with a heart pure enough to take two lost souls in. She told us of a time where the world was not in turmoil. Before the Calamity." Koji would never forget her words as she had painted a splendour of the cities long-since lost in an unforgiving world.
"But I digress." He sighed and raised his eye to meet Cheshire's gaze. "Cait Shelter was never a conscious decision. Our main ambition was to pay forward the favour to other lost souls. We help those to need it, by offering food, medicine, and refuge." He gestured vaguely to the surroundings, the mismatched furniture, soft cushions, rugs, and books by the crackling fireplace.
"Overtime, the people we helped decided to make their stay permanent, and we began to label ourselves as a guild."
"I would be lying if I said it was easy. But I have little regrets."

Cheshire could not begin to imagine the hardships that Koji and his brother had to go through to make it to where they were now, but it probably made her problems seem like child's play in comparison.[break][break] "A place for the lost souls- Yeah, I can see that." She smiled, thinking back on the day she came knocking. Though lacking in enthusiasm even then, she was glad to have been accepted and welcomed into the guild. It's unfortunate that things never really did get better for her in the long run, but she'd never omit this part of her life from the rest of her stories to come. It was her home away from home after all, the place that provided her with countless missions that kept her family's mouths fed. [break][break] "I'm sorry that I felt like I had to leave. This is a great place, and I never came to appreciate it for what it is and what it should be." Her feelings were sincere, and her words reflected it so. Besides, she never was a good liar, and her habits of stuttering through each sentence as she spoke was a grand reason why. One day, if my brothers- when they grow up and they wanna be a part of this place? I know it's a selfish request, I just-.. I really want them to feel like they belong here. My dad's not in a good place to coach them and-.. maybe you could.. you know, be a father figure to them if they ever need it."[attr=class,punkiwofleft] [attr=class,punkiwofright] [attr=class,punkiwofcredit]by punki
