Nocturne

Mitsugi walked through the streets of Canterlot once more, absolutely exhausted and shaking his head in mild frustration and disbelief.

He had just returned from attempting to kill a strange creature that some guard had claimed had to die, which had initially sent warning bells ringing in his head. However, he had gone to investigate, and wound up fighting against two guards in the course of his task, and on top of that, though he was able to take one of them out of the picture, he had ultimately failed in his mission. Normally this wouldn't bother him, but the creature in question had explicitly ordered those two guards to kill him.

.......... Well, maybe not explicitly, but still!

He was then summoned to Pundani, where Lord Ra had made his stand against Apep. Mitsugi himself wasn't wholly sure of the end result of the fight- he'd been mad with Apep's destructive power, and had gone insane and fled as soon as it had ended.

Mitsugi was very irritated with the whole situation, growling under his breath as he walked down the street towards the office of DAIA to report a failed mission and get back out of Canterlot. He needed help, and was unsure where to find it...

But staying here near others would only endanger them.

There were many ponies that would look back on their lives at some point, wondering how they had gotten to where they had and if they had made the right choices. Now, for most ponies, after looking over the good and the bad that they had done and dealt with in their lives, they tended to come to the conclusion that they had done the best they could with what they had. Galaxy, on the other hoof...

In the passed few weeks, she had wandered into Everfree Forest and was captured by a creature from beyond time and space as ponies understood them, was still recovering from the CMFIS from it, been dragged halfway across the bucking world thanks to a teleport spell and had to fight a mad god immediately afterward. On top of that, she still had to find a way to prevent Luna from going full Nightmare Moon yet again; somehow, a lowly unicorn had to convince the ruler of Night itself to chill out. Yeah, she wasn't exactly confident in her ability to do that.

So, in an effort to not go completely insane from what was going on, she had elected to start up her street corner singing again, and it even earned her a few bits.

Over on the hill
There grows a flower
Growing quicker still
More perfect by the hour
Deep within that flower
Is a tiny chair
All a-fringed with gold
The fairy queen sits there

Mitsugi was still grumbling under his breath, when he heard a familiar voice. Looking around, he took flight and looked around, turning his ears this way and that until he pinpointed Galaxy and flew over. He stood nearby until she finished her current verse, then smiled and walked across the street to her, singing the next portion.

It is in her breath
That the wind does blow
It is in her heart
As pure as winter snow
It is in her tears
Crystal raindrops fall
And within her years
That she is in us all


Mitsugi didn't care that he may be attracting attention from anyone else on the street; he was just happy to see Galaxy again. He continued walking to her, eventually stopping in front of her and smiling.

Though she certainly wasn't expecting this to turn into a duet between her and Mitsugi (she had gotten very good at recognizing voices over the years, so she could tell who he was as soon as he started singing), she could improvise as well as the next pony. Her tone shifted to better compliment her partner's voice, thanking her lucky stars that she was able to do something like that, and continued on to the next verse of the song.

"Oh dark eyes
Help me see
Just one look
She is gone
Look on me
We are one
Fading with the setting sun"

Mitsugi smiles a bit more, nudging her cheek with his snout as he starts the next portion.

As the willow bows
To her majesty
All the forest flowers
Love her mystery
Who would not admire
Who could not adore
Who does not desire
Who wishes to see more?


Mitsugi smiled further as they still continued. He was finding that he was enjoying this, and wondered idly how much Galaxy actually did this.

Singing, in and of itself, was actually a hobby she had developed when she was still a filly. As she hadn't been able to do any of the sight related things that normal ponies did, she'd needed to branch out into other entertainment; while not nearly professional level, she was far from bad.

"Oh dark eyes
Help me see
Just one look
She is gone
Look on me
We are one
Fading with the setting sun"


She held the last note a bit longer than she should have, as the song continued one for a bit longer in a musical interlude, but faded out before the crowd that had formed got annoyed. She turned to Mitsugi, with a raised eyebrow. "So, you sing too?"

Mitsugi smiled as she finished out the song.

"I admit, I'm far from the best. It's just an enjoyable little hobby of mine- I can't exactly read or anything when I'm on the road for most of the time." he said. Looking around, he gave a grin and a small wave as he continued.

"What about you? How long have you been singing like this?"

"In general, or on a street corner for bits?" At this point, she levitated up the cup that she was using to collect her take for the d- night. She then levitated out the coins one-by-one to count them; shockingly, though, she still managed to hold a conversation with the kirin. "If it's the former; well... I can't really give you an exact time frame for it. I started some time after I lost my eyes, mostly just so I could do something OTHER than study spells or learn to use my other senses. As for the the latter, I just started doing that after I lost my former job. Ponies here are all but made of money, and most of them are quick to throw it away to some wannabe singer since they think is makes them look good."

She paused. "Huh, 29 bits; that's less than usual. Must have something to do with the eternal night thing going on." She dropped them back into the cup and picked up a water bottle; cold or no cold, singing really dried out the vocal chords.

Mitsugi stepped forward, nuzzling Galaxy with a soft smile.

"Galaxy, you are no wannabe." he whispered.

"You saved me. I was wild;my mind was... broken. If you hadn't found me..." he shook his head. "You are more than you will ever give yourself credit for, Galaxy."

Galaxy lightly pushed the kirin away; it was a nice thought, a very nice thought, but her fixation was on the truth, she would not let a lie pass.

"You really don't get it; I didn't go out there and find you to be some hero or to save you. I only did it to prove that I wasn't some walking death omen." Galaxy sighed, 'watching' as her spell located everything around her yet again; noting that one of the ponies in the crowd was wearing a sapphire necklace that was a bit to large for her. "Don't give me credit for something that I didn't do; I'm not a hero, that's all there is to it."

Mitsugi took the shove and shook his head.

"You're too filled with self- loathing, Galaxy." he said, before taking her face in his claws and pressing his forehead to hers.

"I would still be a raging beast if you hadn't found me, Galaxy. I cannot repay you." he said, giving her a light peck on her horn before releasing her. "And thus, I will show you that you do have worth. I don't know how, or how long it will take.. But I will."

Galaxy found herself wishing for those eyes that she was trying to make to be made, solely for this moment so she had something to roll. That gesture was both well over the line of 'Public Displays of Affection' and incredibly sappy. "Really?" She'd have to settle for a raised eyebrow then. "You're honestly going to try and play the role of somepony out of a romance novel; trying to 'rescue' the female lead from herself so you can live happily ever after?"

The overly pink unicorn sighed through her nose. "Fine; you're obviously not going to listen to me no matter what I tell you, so just go head and do what you want. I'm not going to stop you."

"No, Galaxy, that's not what I think." Mitsugi replied.

"What I think is that you don't realize just what you have managed."

Mitsugi stepped to her side, draping a wing gently over her back. Nuzzling her, he gave her a smile.

"Tell you what, why don't we go grab a bite, and you can tell me what you've been up to since we last met, hm?"

Galaxy telekinetically lifted Mitsugi's wing off her.

"As long as you tone down on the public displays of affection like that, and remember that we are not dating yet." It might have been cruel, but it was the truth. "I get what you're trying to do, and you at least get points for being up front with it, but we're going to have to spend more time together than we have for you to get the relationship with me that you want. Until then, we're only friends."

She sighed, sticking her cup away in her mane for safe keeping like so many ponies did. "Okay then, I'm assuming you know a place near here."

Mitsugi smiled and nodded.

"Tell me, Galaxy, how do you feel about Mane-Jin?" he asked, nudging her side with his wing as he started off. He led her down the main street, resisting the rather new urge to pull her close to his side, holding her with his wing. He could not, however, resist scowling at the few stallions who looked at her wrong. He felt strangely possessive of the mare, but forced it back- she wasn't some object; she was her own. She could do as she pleased.
