"Why did you do it?" she asked, "You knew it would do this, but you did it anyway, don't you care what happens to you?" The hunter couldn't stop from laughing, in a deep clear voice, until Coco slapped him, "It's not funny, I don't want you to get hurt you're important to me." The hunter looked at Coco and sighed shaking his head. "You always do this you act like getting hurt doesn't matter, your hand is basically melted and you act like it's a normal thing that everyone deals with, why?" Coco stared into his one grey eye looking for any sign of pain, but all she saw was fatigue.
"When you get as old as me you learn how to take what life gives you and keep going, life's hard and you get hurt, the way I see it if I deal with this pain no one else has to." The hunter had a far away look in his eyes as he said this to Coco. "When I was your age I had already lost my eye from a grim attack, instead of giving up and feeling sorry for myself I started training, I didn't anyone else to get hurt." Coco let go of his hand, having finished bandaging it while he spoke, and looked at him with sadness in her eyes, her mother had told her about how he had lost his eye when their village had been attacked. He had jumped in front of Coco's mom to protect her from a beowulf, he had only succeeded in becoming it's chew toy until a hunter arrived. "C'mon Malyutka," the hunter said, shaking Coco from her thoughts, "your mother will be worried about you if we're out much later." With that the hunter continued toward town, with Coco jogging to catch up.
"So," Coco said once she caught up to her partner, "what is your semblance anyway? I can't figure it out, can you summon doppelgangers, can you talk to grim, is it super strength, the power to fly, please tell me." Coco looked up at him waiting for him to answer, only to notice he had vanished while she was caught up in listing of powers. She looked around trying to find him, and finally noticed him sitting in a tree farther down the path eating an apple. 'How does he do that with how old he is', Coco wondered to herself walking up to the base of the tree. "Hey," she yelled up to him, "I thought you said to stay close to you until we got back to town." Coco stared up at him with her hands on her hips looking irritated, his only response was to point down the path where she could see the village. "Oh," Coco was all she could say. He jumped down from the tree and continued walking until they arrived at Coco's house. "Do you think mom will be angry we were out so long?" she asked looking at the hunter.
"I'm sure it'll be fine," he said opening the door, only to be hit in the face by a flying frying pan. "See," he said while setting his freshly broken nose, "perfectly fine."
"Argo you better have a good reason as to why my daughter has been out so late," Coco's mother said standing in front of the towering hunter, Coco had seen Argo face down a death stalker with no fear in his eye, but her mother seemed to scare him beyond reason. Argo stood there holding his nose and looking around desperately for a way out when he suddenly gasped and pointed behind them, they turned to see what he was pointing at, but there was nothing there and when they turned around Argo was gone. "Sometimes it's hard to believe he's older then me," her mother said while facepalming.
"Well you always said uncle Argo was weird growing up, I guess he still is sometimes." Coco said as she shut the door.
"WHAT?!" Coco jumped as Velvet interrupted the story she was telling, "You never said he was your uncle!" On the other side of the lunch table Fox and Yatsuhashi were trying not to laugh at the rabbit faunus' reaction, and Coco's look of shock at the outburst. "You've been sitting here telling us about him but you simply forget to mention you're his niece."
"I didn't think it was important, I thought maybe you'd make the connection by yourselves, now well you calm down so I can finish the story?" Coco asked as Velvet's face flushed in embarrassment, and nodded. "Thank you, now where was I?"
AN:Hey everybody I'd like to thank MardukWritInd for Argo's name, and I just wanna say the updates for this story well be random, because my computer is a pos.
