a few days later and elle had been called to william's office. yami was there too since he wanted her help with something. it was typical really, yami only spoke to her when he wanted something, she couldn't say she cared though, that's just how yami was. the black bulls captain filled his younger sister in on the situation with asta.

after a meeting with owen, it seemed that they had figured out that asta's arms were in fact cursed, with the bones inside of them permanently shattered. they were unhealable and even if they did get better, asta would never be able to use them the same as he did before.

the black bulls members had all gone out in order to search for a cure, a way to lift the curse and yami decided to come to her. he wanted to see if reversing time on his arms would make them go back to normal.

"so what do you say, will you try reversing time on his arms?" yami asked, reaching for a pack of cigarettes before he was stopped by william who didn't want him to smoke in his office.

"i can try but i've never reversed time on an actual person before..." elle agreed reluctantly, she didn't want to mess something up. "take me to the base then,yami."

—/<3/—

"oi brat! where are you?" yami bellowed as he punched a hole through his base, the people inside immediately stopped what they're doing.

there were a few people on the couches surrounded by books that looked up as their captain walked through the newly renovated door (hole in the wall).

"since when did you two know how to read?" yami looked disturbed, elle wandered through the hole in the wall and stood next to yami.

"we must find a cure for asta." one said, the other nodded. they both buried their noses back into their books without another word.

"whatever... where's the brat?" yami asked, sparking up a cigarette.

"i think i saw him head to the basement to feed the beasts."

"i told him to rest god damn it. how can he even feed the beasts when he has no working arms?" yami muttered, rubbing his forehead in agitation. "kid, let's go. i'll take you to asta so you can work your magic."

—/<3/—

"asta~" elle called, skipping ahead of yami and approaching asta who was struggling to feed yami's magical beasts.

"oh, princess!" asta looked up with a smil, "why are you here? i never thought a member of the golden dawn would step into a place as shabby as this!"

"huh? what's that supposed to mean?!" yami asked, clearly irritated.

"i'm here to try and reverse time on your arms" elle told him, removing the bucket of raw meat that he had rested on his sling and leading him back up to the main room to sit comfortably.

"can you really do that? will it reverse my arms back to when there was no curse?" asta looked hopeful.

"don't get your hopes up kid. she's never reversed time on a person before, only objects, so it might not work. hell, who knows, you might end up with the arms of a toddler after this." yami laughed at his own joke before sitting down on the couch, forcefully pushing the two people who were sat there before over to the side. their attention was now on the princess and asta rather than their books.

"eh? but i don't want toddler arms!"

"he's exaggerating asta, i know how to control my magic so i'll be able to stop it before it gets to that point." elle stifled a laugh at the anti-magic user's expression before making him sit on the stool and carefully unwrapping the slings from his arms.
