Master Eraqus
no subject
DARKNESS = 10 Points From Gryffindor. >:(
Eraqus will likely take some cues from his students in regards to dealing with AxeLea, while maintaining some professional distance, eeeeespecially given Encounters That Shall Not Be Named and close friendships with certain facetwins. (Fortunately, Eraqus is a very effective fighter, so he should at least manage to counter at least some of the hits, but given they're all on the same side, doing Xehanort's job for him isn't in their favour!!)
Depending on how well (or how poorly) the Nobody situation is explained to him, Axel will very likely find some sympathy is grudgingly earned behind such a serious face; plus, the joys of being one of the responsible adults in the party means they can vaguely trust the other to keep an eye on all the bitties. And not so bitties.
It might take some nudging, but Eraqus'll likely be open to offering training should the opportunity arise; he'll likely be able to sense Lea's been accepted as one of the chosen (much as Aqua sensed it with Riku back in BbS) but won't mention it unless the other brings it up first.
GOSH good thing Axelea's a Slytherin, then. B|
i'm kidding. he doesn't want sympathy, but it's better than, you know, a Keyblade to the face. ♥

However, again, cues will be taken from his kids, as well as weighing in on how much Darkness he can sense in the other; Eraqus may well rein in is reactions accordingly, especially due to the entire mystifying mess involving Nobodies not having hearts (except you do, oops?)
The Ninth might be surprised by having an interested listener when he plays his sitar; Eraqus has an appreciation for more traditional music, and a good ear. (He can sing too, but don't expect that to happen any time soon, buddy!)

DARKNESS = ALL THE POINTS from Slytherin. >>>:(
Eraqus has a great number of emotions tied to Xehanort. So very very many emotions, few of them positive in the slightest.
No small part of the huge ball of FEELS is anger. He is very very angry with you, old boy, not in the least for breaking the Precepts, scarring his face, not writing back to him for the better part of a decade even to say you were sorry or let him know you were still alive!!, wrecking their home, lying to him and. Well. Attempting to kill and/or possess and/or weaponize his students for the sole purposes of playing chicken with the Darkness Apocolypse.
And almost succeeding at said apocalypse.
(ALMOST THREE TIMES, APPARENTLY. THREE TIMES. Seriously, bro, wasn't that clue enough to maybe stop and consider maybe this wasn't the best idea in the world ever.)
Oh yeah, and stabbing him in the back. That went over well. >:|
Being in Siren's Port and learning more of the details as to exactly what has happened before -- what he missed due to his untimely departure back home, what happened at the Keyblade Graveyard, and everything at the Port itself -- will make Eraqus incredibly defensive of his apprentices, and no doubt the younger generation of keybearers one way or another, especially when he learns how much of an impact and how much harm you've caused them. Anger is a given.
There's also no small amount of guilt partied with that anger too. Had he listened longer, and discussed more and debated harder, could he have turned Xehanort away from this mad scheme? Had he but tried harder, could he have succeeded in striking him down, preventing any of this from happening to begin with? If only he'd been strong enough to stop you, if only he'd realised how far his friend had fallen sooner, if only they'd stayed in contact, if if ififififif. How many could have been spared if he'd been a better Keyblade Master.
IF, the saddest word in the dictionary.
But at the same time as he feels all this anger and guilt, this is also man who has been betrayed by someone he REALLY really trusted. And that leaves a huge amount of hurt, wound very tightly in a ball with confusion.
They were apprentices under the same master once upon a time, they've known each other for years. Eraqus had a great deal of respect (which probably started out as hero worship) for his older brother-figure, not in the least due to his incredible intellect and exceptional skill. He considered Xehanort family.
Both have worked to guard the worlds for years, and whatever their differences regarding the balance of light and darkness (and oh boy *touches scars* were there differences), he always /always/ hoped and believed that Xehanort would finally realise the dangers of darkness, and come back to his senses. Even if he didn't completely trust Xehanort when he dropped off Ventus on his doorstep, he still accepted him within the Castle and took his brother's apprentice on as his own, because he wanted to believe he meant it when he asked him for his help.
(I don't think Eraqus ever really forgave Xehanort for telling him that whether or not he'd been taken by darkness was "not his concern".)
Eraqus is a compassionate soul, and that was used against him at the Land of Departure. And may yet again be used against him, because Eraqus is likely the only man in Siren's Pull, or even their own universe, who would maybe try one last time to reach out to Xehanort and ask him to turn back. To tell him that it isn't too late. His kids and the current keybearers wouldn't likely be able to grok this at /all/, because srsly dude, you are one selfish evil sonovabitch, and Eraqus knows this BUT Eraqus also remembers the man he once called brother, and part of him desperately wants to believe that he's still in there somewhere.
I don't think part of his heart would ever really recover if it was confirmed without a doubt that every last moment of their friendship had been a lie from the very start. In the very least, he would need a lot of hugs.
..Wow, that's not very hateful at all, is it.
Still! The point remains: dare to touch his kids again, and he will kill you, Xehanort. (Or die (again) trying.)
(PS the NV is an absolute peach, and the day you attempt to reformat her, Eraqus will get DiZ to find some way to save the adorable little heart-sprite!!!! >:< )

Her origins and what she's been through, will certainly earn both a little bit of respect and a sense of protectiveness over time, and she'll see he isn't /always/ as super serious as that stern face implies.
The door to Ven's room still stays open when you visit, and no staying after midnight, young lady. >:|

Even with their exceptionally careful apology (currently in progress), I suspect there will be some further skirting around each other and circling for some time to come. That you are close with at least two out of three apprentices (and at least on friendly terms with the third) bodes well, especially since all three showed up to help you.
MasterDad definitely feels a bit guilty, though. And by a bit, I mean a hell of a lot. You are very obviously not Ventus, and you are not a mystical sword for summoning Kingdom Hearts (even if you can dual-wield, which quite frankly, he finds fascinating due to there being no previous precedence in keyblade history that he'd read about). There is darkness in you, but not really anything all that different from a normal heart.
He truly regrets what could have happened, and whether or not Roxas knows it (and he may well not mention it aloud), Eraqus feels a debt is owed, and it will be repaid to the best of his ability in some fashion. The time may come where they are at least comfortable with each other, but today is not that day.
Also, lasers. /dap

Not only are you the 'nobody' of a Princess of Heart, you technically don't count as one due to Plot and Magical Memory Powers. He's initially probably going to be a little wary of you, not in the least because you've a very off sense of Darkness balancing out your Light in his eyes, and he's not sure how to fit you into the spectrum.
But once Eraqus has it a little more figured out, he will likely be much more sympathetic, and should she need it, he would be happy to offer her any assistance she might wish. You are your own person, and he will support you in that. But Eraqus will still probably be a little intimidating, regardless.
