Love and Loss

Chapter 8

"As for my name-" "You definitely have to tell us Logos" "what snake skin said bird brain, you don't have to tell us, we'd understand" Logos laughed. Janus couldn't ever recall the old Logan laughing this much or so carefree. Janus knew it was the most beautiful sound he'd ever heard. "I honestly would tell you but I am uncertain." Logos said fixing his tie, Janus now recognized it as a nervous tick. "As previously mentioned I am not simply Logan anymore even though he is a key aspect of what I am, as such Logan doesn't feel, heh I used to despise that word, right. However, I can not think of anything to replace it." "Well Logos doesn't sound amazing for now if you were to ask moi" "Yeah bird brain! It even ends with an s too!" "I wonder if I actually have a bird's brain" Logos pondered. "OOO I can help with that!" Suddenly Remus' mace was in his hands. "NO REMUS bad boy!" Janus shouted, tackling the mace out of his hands. "Boo, you're no fun DD" "Well I am not self preservation or anything of the sort" "What does DD stand for Remus?" Logos inquired. "Why I'm glad you asked! It stands for doub-" With a flick of Janus' wrist Remus' hand was over his mouth. Remus gave Janus a dejected look while Janus just gave him a pointed stare before allowing him to have the ability to speak again. "So Logos" Janus drawled.  "Yes?" "You don't know how your room is down here" "I would be aware of that Janus" "which doesn't mean your room is at the light sides quarters" "why of course it isn't oh." Logos' face turned pale as he caught on to what Janus was implying. The light sides might not notice if 'Logan' wasn't walking around but they would definitely notice a missing door. "Janus what do we do? I, they can't know, I don't want them to know about me yet! I'm not ready Janu-" Realizing Logos was spiraling into a panic attack Janus said, "Logos, listen to me, breathe in for four" Logos did. "Good, your doing fantastic now hold for seven." After a couple attempts Logos did. "Now hold for eight, perfect, your doing so well darling" Once Logos has visibly calmed down and processed the fact that Remus was hugging him very much like a kola, Janus said. "Now as deception there isn't something I can do, I can't make an illusion of your door present, but if the others try to kick it down or break it the illusion will fade revealing a wall, would you not like me to do that?" Sighing in relief Logos responded "please Janus, that would be fantastic." Breaking the serious atmosphere Remus shouted, "Hey L!" Logos made a noise of recognition. "Do you know what type of bird you are?" "That is an interesting question Remus, I believe my trait is representative of a  Corvidea Corvus brachyrhynchos". Logos fully expected the other dark sides not to knew what he was talking about, after all he was used to it, he was just glad they didn't shut him or mock him for using the scientific name of the species, he was used to that too. "Ahh, is that not a raven, crow, or jay?" Corvidea doesn't remind me of the family Corvids at all". Logan looked up at Janus, clearly impressed. "Your knowledge never ceases to amaze me Janus, it is the American crow, I am positively confident when I say the 'Light Sides' would not have made that connection, or even have known what Corvidea meant for that matter." Janus smiled, "well I would say I am as smart as Thomas' intellectual side but I know I thing or two". The two of them did not blush at each other, no, no they did not no sir. Remus rolled his eyes fondly at the two brain cells before saying, "You two crack me up more than an egg that's been dropped off a skyscraper but let's focus on the more important issue at hand!" "Which isn't?" Remus laughed before saying, "Why ain't it obvious! It's time for a glow up!! I mean what are we going to do about that outfit! It's practically in rags!!"
