"Pleassseee! Don't go just yet!" Tressa cried as she and the others got up, holding each other tight as Bell shook his head and looked at his friends.
"I can't! I knew I'd be leaving but it's still sad! Come with me!"
"Boy! You know we can't-" Zeus was about to say before he was gagged by his own balled up shirt and forcibly shoved down his mouth. Chocking and flailing in the carriage as Hera still cried.
"Mmgh! We can't. Not yet, but someday we'll come visit you!" Tressa said as she sniffled and rubbed her eyes with her arm. Alfyn nodding as Therion looked away as he reached behind his back and pulled out something and held it in front of Bell.
"We..might not join you yet or see ya in a while. So, Tress thought a while back to get you something to remember us by-"
"Thery, stop lying you thief. He thought this idea up and we pitched in to help get it." Tressa said as Therion choked and blushed. Shoving the gift and forcibly slamming it on top of Bell's head.
Taking it off, Bell saw that it was a black cowboy looking hat they gave him. With a purple band underneath a row of red beads. In the front where the beads connected was two faces, one smiling and one frowning. With a yellow feather tucked into the purple band. And at the end of the hat's straps, was a small metal emblem with an engraving of a coin, a knife and an herb on it at the tie part of it.
"It's somethin' to remember us by y'know. S-So that we're with ya in spirit." Alfyin said as he was rubbing his eyes as Bell nodded. Sniffling as he put his new hat on his head. Covering a bit of his eyes with it as he quickly hugged his friends as they walked him to the carriage with Hera waiting in the back for him.
Helping him up as he sat down next to her as the carriage was signaled to start moving. Many waved and shouts of farewells echoed across the planes as they were picking up speed. Even Bell had to stand and wave both of his arms at his friends who now ran as fast as they could to say goodbye and see him until they ran out of breath and their voices strained.
Minutes soon passed by in silence as Hera rested Bell's head on her lap. Petting his hair as she smiled sadly, looking down on the top of his head as she caressed it. Her gaze then turned behind her to see Zeus giggling with that idiot that was in charge of their trip back to Orario.
She wished that it was someone else, even if it was a new child of that one's Familia. But Zeus insisted and brought up some valid points that their progression to Orario would be smoother if he came along with them and did some of the talking to ease any possible tension.
God Hermes, a close friend and ally to Zeus. As well as being an infamous pervert as big as Zeus even. Another god she would have to keep on a very short leash and away from Bell.
Sighing at seeing no point to argue about the idiot blonde that they're stuck with until they arrive at Orario, she turned back to Bell. Adjusting herself so his hat wasn't going to be pressed against her stomach as it was resting on his back.
"You miss them already."
"Mmhhmmm..."
"I know sweetie. But like they said, you have something to remember them by. And I'll help remind you to write back to them as often. Though...I wish you would act like that more often if I'm being honest."
"You want me to cry?! Grandma!?" Bell said as he looked baffled and teary eyed at Hera, who was laughing and shook her head.
"No sweetie that's not what I mean. I meant you should act your age more. We might be starting this business together and you're somewhat the manager of it when we start things up. But don't forget that you're only seven. Have some fun and make friends over there." She said, nuzzling her cheek against his as she pulled him into a tight embrace.
