"My spoils of war." Jungkook remarked enigmatically. He didn't want to be judged by his brother and Namjoon had told him it wasn't a good idea but how else would Tae know what a strong and good provider he was if he didn't gift him the heads of his enemies. Of course, he knew Tae was gentle so he thought it over. He had another gift too. "I got him a pretty pebble too."
He liked pretty things and it was kind of shiny in the light. So that lucky boy was getting a pebble and some heads!
"...good." Well, at least he could trust Taehyung to be diplomatic about it. He was just glad Jungkook wasn't trying to woo someone like Jimin, he suspected that would go significantly worse. "They like shiny things. Simple but beautiful."
Only Ten and, of course, Jimin himself knew that he was wooing the prince so far, unless Jimin had shared it with anyone. Yoongi saw no need to, but he did want to help Jungkook out. "Perhaps you could use the pebble to craft something that he could wear. Like a necklace or an earring. You know, something beautiful, like what Taehyung gave Namjoon to gift to Jin-nim on their wedding day."
"Maybe. I'm thinking about it. I'll show him my very best, hyung." Jungkook looked up at Yoongi, still somewhat dirty from battle and looking clearly weary. He sighed and gestured over at Yoongi's tent. "Stop worrying about everyone else in the world and worry about yourself. You've been through a lot. Go lie down and chill out."
He heard the baby wailing in the distance, unsure if it was happy or sad wails. "I imagine there won't be a lot of peace on the trek back home." Not with that noise.
"He's a good kid. He will be quiet most of the time." Well, he was hoping. He sounded more excited than upset and he was pretty sure being rocked on a horse the way they naturally moved, he'd just fall asleep. Yoongi frowned, thinking as he looked around. War, of course. This entire country was war-torn.
He wondered how Ten felt about it. Rubbing the inside of his arm, he spoke slowly. "I might take a different way home."
Someone had to help these people and he felt it should be Ten, with all his divinity. But maybe there had to be belief first. If these people, his people, worshipped him, than maybe he could help them find their strength again, just as Ten had found his.
"Going to go find Ten?" Well, it was obvious, he knew his brother. "He disappeared after you killed Cheon." Ten had suffered a lot, he really hoped he would channel his pain into something positive - to make this place better. Jungkook worried too. He didn't want it to get any worse. It was their kingdom now.
"Be safe, please? I don't like travelling without you. Feels weird."
"You are the commander, Jungkook. You'll travel many places without me. But I'm always with you." Yoongi smiled a little, putting a hand on Jungkook's chest above his heart. His little brother. It was still strange to think that he was a man now. Battle-proven. "You've won high honours in this war. You're bringing honour to our parents."
He was sure they would be very glad to hear about it. "I will be safe. I just want to make sure a temple will be built for him somewhere. Then maybe he can keep this land safe, because I know he wants to. He'll become a peaceful god, if that is what the people need."
"You're a good guy, hyung. The way you killed Cheon was so cool." He hadn't had a chance to say it yet so he said it now, grinning widely. "I'll make sure to get the king back safe while you stay here. Come home soon though or I'll come back for you. Yeah? And that'll be really annoying. Walking is so boring."
Seeing stuff was dull. Urgh. Exploring. "Make our family proud, hyung."

He didn't want Ten to be so torn up any longer.
