A moment to himself.
Was that really what he wanted?
Not really.
His eyes shut halfway as he stared forlornly out the window and hummed slightly, drumming his fingers over the sill of the window. It seemed like everyone was busy and generally not around. It didn't help the slight pang of loneliness he was feeling. His tail swished lazily from side to side, eyes watching as the sun was beginning to set over the trees. Garnet was gone to another castle to do negotiations or something queen-like like that. He wasn't sure what anyone else was doing but there were times when he felt like they weren't actually his friends. Times when Garnet was the only one he felt a real connection to. Fingers traced the stone of the window sill slowly and he leaned his slender frame into the stonework with a low hum.
Tantalus wasn't around...maybe he should have stuck with them. His tail curled at the thought and he shook his head slowly. No, that would have proven Baku right. That he couldn't make it out in the real world all on his own. They wanted him around more than he wanted them around. Not that he minded being around them, they were his family. But then again, most people regarded family as an annoyance of some kind, right? A light smile grazed his lips as he thought about them. They definitely could be counted as his family. Always there for him when he needed somewhere to stay or even just someone to talk to. Not that they'd take it seriously, but in the end it did the job and made him feel better about what was going on with him.
There was no use moping around the castle! He had to find some way to stop being so bored and stop being such a downer. Just as he was about to spin on his heel and go see what kind of mischief he could cook up, he stopped in his tracks when a loud BOOM shook the castle walls, eyes widening. "What the--" something darted into the window and Zidane quickly withdrew the daggers that were resting against his lower back. A man in black stopped in front of him in a low crouching position. On arm raised, face shadowed by a hood but the smirk on his face visible, the slightest light of eyes underneath the hood. "Who the heck are you?" the thief asked, eyes narrowing dangerously as the man sped forward.
Steel was met with steel, agile cuts were met with dextrous parries. The two were evenly matched until Zidane suddenly spun around, his tail curling around one of the blades the man held in his hand and the momentum of his turn pulling the blade from his hand. A quick flip and a kick to the guy's chest brought him down and the genome pinned his arm down. "What are you doing here? And who are you!?" Zidane barked, watching the man. He had to find something out. He had to get this done quickly as well before something really bad happened. He wanted to run down to the lower part of the castle. He could hear the commotion and he felt like an idiot just sitting here with some guy pinned down. Who was to say this guy was even important enough to know what was going on?
He struggled beneath Zidane but he was pinned. "We came to kill the queen...but apparently she ain't here, so we decided t'leave a little partin' gift!" the man said, his voice raspy and soft before he bit down on something.. Eyes rolled back into his head and foam frothed at his mouth as Zidane was forced to watch the life fade from the man's eyes. Nothing he hadn't seen before. Nothing he hadn't witnessed, but this time he was mad. They had wanted to kill Garnet? They had wanted to hurt her?! And, because she wasn't here, they decided to siege the castle? He got up from the dead body and stepped up to the window he had initially been staring out of, narrowing his eyes down at the scene laid out before him. Catapults, mages, all manner of frightening things were letting loose spells and fiery balls of pitch. "I've gotta find Rusty." Zidane muttered to himself.
It wasn't the time to be feeling sorry for himself or to let that loneliness that reared its head sink in. He had a job to do.
And it was calling to him pretty loudly.
