Sooooo... while I work on part 2 of the Runaway AU chapter, here's some stuff that's mostly fluff!

+==========================================================+

- When in the Mystic Forest (that's the name of the biome he settled in now), Sabre basically becomes cottagecore/fairycore bean and Origin does indeed visit him, very often in fact.

- The animals of the forest that Origin created aren't scared of Sabre at all, as previously mentioned, and they actually follow him around quite a bit. They're his animal friends now, hehe. The animals actually bring him things too, like little flowers or pretty rocks they found in the river. This leads to Sabre having a treasure chest full of random goblin treasure like found pieces of mechanical things, river rocks/pebbles he has in a bag, gemstones, regular crystals, and other things you can find in the forest.

- Origin gave Sabre gifts to help him live in the forest. Things such as a book on foraging, a new cloak (since the last one he had got ripped up during his travels), and some other items. He also gave Sabre a necklace that has a bright blue gemstone, which acts like a warp stone so Origin can teleport to Sabre whenever needed, and some new clothes that are lighter-colored than his old ones.

- Sabre starts changing color too, after living in the forest for a bit; some pastel colorful streaks appeared in his hair one morning. He also noticed white marks that look like freckles on his face. He didn't panic or anything though, as he found both new features pretty.

- Sabre still had tears running down his face while living in the forest, although he wasn't crying, and he wasn't able to get it to stop. The tears eventually turned into marks on his face that looked like tears, for an unknown reason. Someone has to be close to see them, however, so they're not that much of a problem.

- Remember how I mentioned that Sabre turns into fairy/cottagecore bean? Well, I mean it; he builds a house that looks like a large woodland cottage, and has a flower garden on top of having a crop garden as well, and has mushrooms growing in a cave, and fricken bakes using ingredients he either forages or grows for both him and his woodland creature friends, and makes some for Origin when he visits.

- Origin is protective of Sabre, as he feels that what he went through during his time in the Kingdom was enough, and doesn't want what happened in the other timelines happening there. He's surrounded the Mystic Forest biome in a fog, so nobody can see it unless they're brave enough to pass through the fog... which nobody usually is, if they even get all the way out there. Origin taught the creatures he created based off of animals from Sabre's world, that if someone unknown comes into the forest, to protect Sabre all they can until he can get there and drive the intruder away.

- Sabre still has the bracelet that Rainbow gave him all that time ago, he just keeps it hidden under his sleeve while wearing it.

- At some point in the AU, Time escapes the confinement Elemental put on him in his own dimension, and goes through the fog around the Mystic Forest while trying to find a place to hide. Eventually, in the middle of the forest, he finds Sabre and Origin hanging out. Then, Sabre has a forest cottage roommate who is also a runaway (I might make Time's design later).

- Aaaand finally, Sabre's design for the AU (because yes):
