Of Mushrooms and Bonds [Open one, closed one]
WHO: Cor Leonis and You!; Cor and Athena
WHAT: Dude ate some shrooms, not realizing that it's only gonna cause him Trouble until tok late. Later, he gets a taste of Bonded Weaponry
WHEN: Early to mid-September
WHERE: Around the city
WARNINGS: Mentions of animal cruelty (no actual Coeurls were hurt in the making of this post)
The Shrooms Need Me, Man~! [Open to all]
Cor had been far too busy being far a field to be very social over the last month or two. Mostly helping out with curving the monster population or foraging for requested materials thru the guild quests. But throughout all this time, he's had his faithful coeurl companion with him. By this time, she's starting to get bigger, gaining more of that long awkward look of a teenage feline. But even when he's most irate with her, it's never for long, and they do work and care for each other.
That the sudden explosion of mushrooms popped up when all these faeries had been busy hadn't surprised him much. Fae magic is wild, and he took it merely as yet another sign of the coming fall. So he's had his fill of the mushrooms over time, not realizing the danger until it was too late. Which is why his now-larger companion is growling and tugging hard on his coat with her mouth to try and keep him from taking another step.
"Aurora, stop it!" He scolds her, eyes glazed over in that tell-tale hypnotized look. "I have to go; I'm needed!" He then does something he normally would never do to his 'pet' - he kicks her away.
Aurora the Coeurl yowls at that kick, and then spots the nearest semi-familiar face. She rushes over to gently wrap her mouth around their arm, trying to tug them towards a now-retreating Cor as if to say 'Help me stop him, please!'
Take My...Weapon? [Closed to Athena]
Sometime later, after his recovery, he hears from his roommate Athena about the need to rescue the Faerie Queen from the Sirens. To him, it sounds like a surefire way to make up for his behavior under the influence of those Fae Mushrooms. Still, he seems wary as he hears about what's needed to try and help save her. "...I don't doubt that such an offered skill could prove vital. But are you sure you want to try this with me? Is there no one else you trust more than I?"
((OOC: A come-back post for Cor! Feel free to have fun with the open prompt, or ping me if you want him anywhere else!))

The unsteady gait that Cor was walking with combined with the very desperate cat was enough for Kaeya to finally understand the situation. He raised his hand again but this time, it was towards Cor. He snapped his fingers and a thick wall of ice erupted before the man. "Stay there for a moment, would you?"
Should Cor try to go around, every direction would get blocked by an ice wall. He gently patted the cat's big nose. "I'll need you to let go now, I got this."

Their arrangement was such that they had agreed not to be too wrapped up in each other's hair. Cor had his obligations, and Athena had their projects. It was a useful arrangement-- and it allowed Athena to have a place to rest when their systems crashed while also giving Cor the company of another adult that didn't have demands of him.
However. Athena knew their limits... and was well aware that they were not immune to becoming emotionally entangled with strangers very quickly.
The question earned an embarrassed chuckle as Athena rubbed their prosthetic arm. It was a nervous gesture, but there were so many times in recent memory that they had been without that defense that a reminder of the silent presence of the gun hidden within the mechanisms was reassuring.
"Cor," They said simply. "So many of the people I have met here are either significantly younger, significantly out of my depth, or are such utter disasters that I don't trust them with anything."
A sigh punctuated their words.
"But, with you? It feels like we stand on an equal footing. I don't imagine that there are many you can say that about either... right?"
Cor's associates were impossible to forget, both for the green horns that still needed guidance to the regal King whose name was King.
"I don't want to be a burden on the kids, but I don't want to feel indebted to someone I can never repay either. The both of us are just people. We're adults in the summer of our lives, and we've lived in complicated times.
"There's no one else here that I'd consider standing alongside as a partner."

"What's wrong, hm..?"
Not normal behaviour - he can tell that much. He looks up with a frown and eventually spots Cor walking away, before he flicks his scarlet eyes down at Aurora.
"You're going to have to give me a bit more to go on." Another moment. His frown deepens as he realises something more is not quite right here. "All right, I'm coming. Let's go after him."
