Title: Fire Emblem on Forums: Laguz Test Game IC

~Fire Emblem on Forums: Laguz Test Game

OoC thread here! (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=172587.0)

The interior of the cave was dry, and surprisingly well lit, owing to a shaft in the ceiling of the room that must have extended to the surface. The light of the sun shone down upon King Himos. He was a large man, but not so large as Grae Steelhart, leader of the Steelhart mercenary band, had expected him to be. Himos, King of Sampia and Lord of the Cats, sat upon a throne lashed together from logs and bone with strips of leather. He seemed older than Grae had pictured him, perhaps, and wearier. Though it seemed to him that for the King of Sampia to call on the aid of a human mercenary band, he must be under great stress indeed. Grae himself was lit only by the crude torches carried by the guards who had led himself and his six subordinates into the King's hall beneath the mountain. Grae drew back his hood, revealing himself to the King. His bad eye caught the light of the fire as he smiled slightly.

(https://i.imgur.com/ebLAHUI.png) "Your Majesty. I am Grae Steelhart, here at your request. What do you wish of my men and myself?"


~Earlier That Day~

Grae adjusted his cloak and hood as the group trudged along the Sampian road. Even calling it that was ridiculous, of course- The people of Sampia had no use for carts, and so any 'roads' were simply areas where vegetation had been stamped out, mostly, in something that could be described as a line. Regardless, this route led his band toward the hold of their next employer. King Himos, Lord of the Cats. It had been some time since his service was called for from someone from such a position of authority, and some of his officers had assured him that the King was asking in good faith. Still... When he'd received the request at one of the guildhouses he owned in Northwest Geumho, he had been surprised.

"The Great and Powerful King Himos, Lord of the Cats and Sovereign Ruler of Sampia, requests your immediate service as mercenaries, Commander Grae Steelhart. Bring six of your finest men to accompany you for a task of great importance." Relayed by a young Laguz man who had seemed out of breath from the moment he arrived until he took his leave, running out the door the way he had come.

Well, six of his finest, at such short notice? Impossible. But six quite competent men and women- mostly women, to be honest- that he trusted? Doable. And so Grae had selected those at both the near guildhouse and a few stationed in southern Morcia to accompany him into the heart of Sampia. Then had they begun the long trek to see the king. Two miserable weeks of traveling through barely tamed mountains and forests. It was mid-spring now, and though it was warm enough to travel, short bursts of rain and sleet made the journey unpleasant. Only twice had the group been stopped by packs of Laguz warriors, though with their purpose explained they were eventually let through both times, and only seldom were the group met with locals, who never seemed particularly inclined to speak to the band.

Another round of light rain began, gradually soaking into his cloak.

Alys, Claire, Iris, Milos, Sheyra, and Vanessa are in!

When you were afraid of something, there were only two things you could really do. You could forever live your life in fear of that thing, allowing it to control you, make you weaker, all for the hopes that someone else will protect you. That was not a path Milos wanted to go down; he had the protection of his loving parents for so long, but he knew that if he wanted to make his way in this world, he was going to have to go down the other path. The other thing you could do when you were afraid is to fight it; even if you were kicking and screaming by the end of it, every battle won was another day you could say that you conquered your fear. Every day of that would allow you to eventually overcome your fear and be the one triumphant.

That was Milos' goal on this mission. It had taken him a lot of persuasion towards Grae to allow him to go on this mission; he promised to do everything he could to keep morale up while also doing well on the battlefield. Thankfully, in the end he was prevailing... though it might have just been a brash act of impulse that made him go on this mission. To be honest, it was not easy; travelling was hard, and they had a few encounters with the dreaded beasts he feared so much... why was he so afraid of them? Was it the teeth? The claws? The snarling? The vicious demeanor? Milos wished he knew... but he had shown improvement, at least, he'd like to believe. Not once had he complained throughout the whole journey no matter how rough it got, even if he was completely quiet for most of it.

(https://i.imgur.com/JMa48By.png) "..."

A slight shiver took hold of Milos as more rain came in, but the rain was almost laughable in Milos' eyes. He could get through this... just a little cold and wet rain was not going to stop him from overcoming his fears. Even if he was going into it... kind of in an unorthodox manner, going into an entire country filled with the things he was afraid of. But maybe he would learn there was more to the beasts that plagued his fears. Maybe they would all turn out to be overall, not so bad. Maybe they'd want to help him get over his fears.

...Maybe.

Claire drew her robes tighter around herself, careful not to catch them on the undergrowth as she moved.

(https://i.imgur.com/PPrrIBQ.png) "Ah... it's raining again..."

The words came out quietly, stating the obvious to herself more than anyone else. Two weeks of this so far. Of this weather on and off, of this wilderness, of sleeping on the road without any comforts. But it was not the worst she had ever experienced, not even close. And it was enough time and distance to forget her worries about this job, at least for a while.

(https://i.imgur.com/PPrrIBQ.png) "... Is everyone doing okay?"

She wasn't in high spirits, but she was more than okay, because she was with them.

Vanessa frowned up at the sky, as if her displeasure could make the rain stop. She shivered as she tried her best to ignore the downpour that had been harassing them for most of the journey. It wasn't that she hadn't experienced this before, it never got any better though no matter how many times you went through it. However as she turned to face the of her companions she smiled, this was still better than travelling alone. As Claire spoke her eyes went to her,

(https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/511969300605698070/512731144828223505/kansa_mug.png) “Glad that we'll get there soon, I can't wait to see what the king is like.”

Alys had expected the trip to be somewhat miserable - She hadn't really done much traveling since she was assigned to a group of misfits to keep alive, and the weather there was somewhat stable. This, however, was miserable. The walking was murder on her legs, and the on-again off-again rain/mist was driving her insane - Either rain or don't! She barely got all dried off by the time the next rain started, so she was just perpetually damp. But the people she was with were nice - Imagine being the only one to go with Steelheart and still getting stopped by those beast-men! She shivered both with fear of that situation and "Dammit it's cold."

(https://i.imgur.com/ebLAHUI.png) "No idea. Just that the job is coming straight from the King. He called for a small team, so I imagine whatever he needs from us is likely to be covert, or at least deniable action." The rain dripped down Grae's hood as the group strode on down the road, their boots and shoes leaving prints in the damp earth behind them. "Whatever the job is, we should be able to expect a good payout. Laguz or no, Kings have money."

Clover would walk along the muddy road with the rest of her companions. Well, calling it a road was a bit much... it reminded her of following deer trails on the outskirts of the old Travies estate back when she was a child. It was certainly quite different from the city life she'd grown used to during her teenage years, but... well, if she had a choice between cobbled roads and this sorry excuse for a 'road', she'd take cobble any day of the week.

And while Clover was rather partial to rainy days, this dreary slog through vegetation was made all the worse with mud, which they had plenty of thanks to the poor weather. The chilly air coming off the mountains didn't help either. Still, she could deal with it. It wasn't snow, right?

(https://i.imgur.com/UP4zMnm.png) "Well, hopefully this meeting goes better than the last time I got a chance to see royalty. Though I can't imagine it could go worse."

Hearing everyone talk to each other was a strange case for Milos; he was familiar with everyone and felt safe talking to them, but... it was hard to utter words. He wasn't sure how much everyone inferred from him of his fears; he gave quiet yelps of surprise whenever a Laguz jumped out at them, and remained rigid and silent throughout all of Grae's persuasions. Other than that, however, he managed to keep himself... relatively calm. However, the tension radiating off of Milos was not easy to cover, and Milos did not want people worrying about him. People worrying about him would just make him feel worse about coming... and potentially ruin the point of coming in the first place.

Trying to find the words to speak, whether to respond to Claire's question of if everyone was doing okay, Grae's talk about the mission briefing, or even asking about Clover's last encounter with royalty...

(https://i.imgur.com/vOxA8OI.png) "......"

...Unfortunately, words couldn't come to Milos. Hoping their silence would be masked by the sounds of the rain, and their nervous face would be masked by walking alongside everyone else and keeping his posture otherwise steady, he pressed onward without a peep.
Title: Re: Fire Emblem on Forums: Laguz Test Game IC
Post by: Gaterhyme on December 07, 2018, 02:42:55 am
Milos' silence had not gone unnoticed, but Claire's only response was a small smile in his direction. She wasn't the kind to press others for words, especially when it didn't seem likely to help.

(https://i.imgur.com/PPrrIBQ.png) "They probably have different standards than us," she said. "But it's still a job, and money is money... We could supply more mercenaries, buy more tomes..."

Or more ambitious things, but she was just saying what came to mind. Money was great for necessities - food, shelter, and even her tomes were necessities in their line of work - but ultimately she had never really been in this just for the money. She didn't allow herself to think about it too much more; this trek had an in-between feeling to her, especially this close to their destination. Not quite working yet, but also not on break. Steelhart was still Steelhart, and not Grae.

Vanessa looked towards Clover, curiosity plain on her face and everything about the weather forgotten,
(https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/511969300605698070/512731144828223505/kansa_mug.png)"Oooh, you've met royalty before? What happened?"
Title: Re: Fire Emblem on Forums: Laguz Test Game IC
Post by: RedMageCole on December 07, 2018, 02:15:22 pm
Claire's smile did not go unnoticed either despite Milos' slightly hung head. The sight of her smile made him perk up a little, and though his silence still remained, he looked a little calmer and happier despite the rain.

(https://i.imgur.com/0E5qvXk.png) "..."

Internally, he was also extremely grateful she didn't speak up and draw too much attention to him while still letting him know she cared. He still didn't speak, but thankfully his conscience was clearer, and hopefully if he had something to say in response to perhaps Clover or someone else, he would be able to say it.

Post by: Sheyra on December 09, 2018, 11:26:40 am
Clover would give Vanessa a little half-smile as she shrugged slightly.

(https://i.imgur.com/UP4zMnm.png) "I wouldn't really say I met royalty. Just happened to see them while I was, uh, conducting some business in the royal palace. As it turns out, some fellows there didn't take too kindly to my 'business' and ended up making a big mess of the place. Quite rude, really."

Alys smiled a little easier at Grae's statement.
(https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/520243814070353922/520254039414407190/aoJxPVf.png)"Well, covert means little fighting, and a high pay is good..." she said to no one in particular. She just hoped that there really would be little fighting, although something in her gut told her it was unavoidable...

Vanessa let out a deep sigh,
(https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/511969300605698070/512731144828223505/kansa_mug.png) "That happened to me a couple of times as well, people just don't appreciate us." she paused "Well not with royalty in my case. Hopefully this king gives us better reception anyway."

(https://i.imgur.com/ebLAHUI.png) "I agree, the main difference here is that, on this occasion, we have been invited." Ahead, on the road, Grae and his companions spotted an oncoming group. Grae continued only a few more steps before holding out an arm, a signal for his fighters to stop. "...Battle lines. But don't be obvious about it." The group waited on the road as a group of several laguz approached them on the road, also drawing to a halt.

(https://i.imgur.com/KWZtknD.png) A small, wirey man with green hair and cat ears stepped forward, the apparent leader. He addressed Grae. "Nice scar."

(https://i.imgur.com/ebLAHUI.png) "Thank you. It's one of my favorites." Grae's tone was level, neutral, and, to his subordinates, clearly unamused.

(https://i.imgur.com/KWZtknD.png) The Laguz's slight smile grew wider. "One man with a scarred eye and six warriors. You must be Grae Steelhart. Am I right?"

(https://i.imgur.com/ebLAHUI.png) "...You are. Do you have some business with me? I'm afraid I'm currently under contract, and in something of a hurry."  This wasn't technically true. Steelhart and his mercenaries would only be under contract after discussing terms with the King.

(https://i.imgur.com/KWZtknD.png) "Oh, I'm well aware! We're... well, we're aware of the King's call for human mercenaries." Though most of the Laguz remained where they were, this Laguz and a few of his companions stepped forward. "You see, King Himos isn't entirely confident in your abilities. And who can blame him? You are, as they say, only human." His smile grew wider still, and became decidedly predatory. "And, well, he thought to have us make sure that you would not be wasting his time."

(https://i.imgur.com/ebLAHUI.png) In spite of the obvious air of hostility, Grae remained relaxed. "And how would you propose to determine that?"

(https://i.imgur.com/KWZtknD.png) "Don't be coy. And don't worry, we won't try to kill you." With no further warning to be made, the man and his advance team suddenly changed into beasts. Hackles raised and fangs bared, they began to advance toward the mercenaries.

(https://i.imgur.com/ebLAHUI.png) As the change took place, Grae's sword was out. "Mercenaries! Extend the same courtesy to the Laguz that they extend to us! Milos, cover Alys!"

The second the Laguz showed up, Milos froze in place, shaking all over, though it was obvious he was making an effort to stop shaking, reducing his shaking to his legs. Regardless, he could not do anything but stare in fear of the beast as he appeared to Grae.

(https://i.imgur.com/mcXvbWE.png) "..."

He very nearly panicked when they were challenged to a fight, but Grae's orders managed to calm him down a tad.

(https://i.imgur.com/MVW0Yfo.png) "I-... I-I'm on it, s-sir..."

He was definitely going to try to avoid those things as far as possible... though the birds he could try to take on if he could hit them. For now...

Claire frowned almost imperceptibly. She had never liked arrogance, and she liked it even less coming from a laguz who apparently thought he was superior just by his nature alone. Typical of a Sampian... but she pushed these thoughts aside.

If they spoke to Steelhart like that, they underestimated him. And they were all Steelhart mercenaries.

(https://i.imgur.com/PPrrIBQ.png) "... We can do this." Again she didn't know if she was speaking to everyone, anyone, or just to herself - but together, they would prove themselves. There was no doubt in her heart.

She moved with the others, tome in hand. As she drew on the power within it and within herself, the air around her seemed to shift, wind swirling around her, picking at her robes and her hair.

In Iris's opinion, this was not a good day. After far too long traveling down this path with delusions of grandeur in what could be charitably called subpar weather, they now have to deal with this colossal waste of time. What's the point of calling in mercenaries if you're so unsure of their skill you force them to face a test before even giving them the job?

Vanessa smiled brightly and performed a deep bow, finally after all of this walking in the rain she would be able to do something interesting.

She paused for a moment looking around to see where the rest of her companions had gone, noticing that she was quickly being left behind she hurried after them. As she ran she opened up her tome, getting ready to unleash the light show.

Alys kinda wanted to panic now. Laguz, jumping her party... She thought of how her mother was said to have died when she went missing. But there was no time for that on a battlefield, she reminded herself... She took deep breaths, like she had been taught by her old master - The more centered you were, the easier it was to heal the wounded. Someone told her to get out of the way, so she did, stepping more out of the reach of the beasts in front of her.
Alys, to 25,8.

Vanessa leapt into action, running at a break neck pace until she reached the top of the hill. She looked around, deciding that this would be the perfect stage for the spectacle that was about to occur. She held forth her book and with an overly dramatic flourish and some entirely unnecessary magic incantations, she formed pure light into the shape of a bird. There was a pause for dramatic effect and then the bird swooped down and collided with the tiger below her.

The tigers were starting to get closer, and as a result, Milos started to back away into the cover of everyone... but then stopped. Taking a deep breath, he was able to try and calm himself... they were scary, but he had a duty to uphold; he had to cover Alys... and if he couldn't do it by himself, he'd have to help others so that his job could be done!

Another small smile for Milos, and partly because of Vanessa's attack, too. The way Vanessa fought fit her in a way that just seemed right.

Claire hesitated only briefly before sending another attack over the hills.

It was true that this was putting on a show, proving themselves to their would-be employer. It was true that their opponents had picked this fight. And neither side was looking to kill - but she was still aware that she was causing them pain.

Vanessa flashed her smile towards Milos, then twirled on the spot her cloak billowing out behind her. Then she slammed her foot down and stopped, a spear of light had formed in her hand. She jumped into the air and threw the shaft of light down towards the tiger.

 Alys was hyperventilating with panic a little. She had backed up so that she wouldn't be attacked and she could stay close to her temporary bodyguard Milos, but the Tiger Laguz had followed her, and... was that blood? She looked at her companions and realized that Milos and Grae didn't look so hot either... But Grae was too deep in, and healing herself was kinda cheap, so...

Vanessa continued her performance, her smile shining brightly as she turned away from her unconscious target towards the Laguz that had now approached her. She closed her eyes and held her hand to the sky as she focused her power. Light radiated from her hand and she pointed to an area just above her target. It shot from her hand and hovered in mid air, then with a click of her fingers it transformed into a hippo. It then quickly began to fall trying to crush the poor cat beneath it.

When the cat began to close in on Milos, his entire body began to stiffen up, and sweat began to pour from every bit of his skin. He wanted to scream, but not only did he feel like his vocal cords were paralyzed, but he knew he had to stay strong... but the attack hurt him. It hurt him and he wanted the pain to stop. Before he knew it, he had dealt a rather nasty blow to the Laguz; a nastier blow than was done on him, it seemed. This relaxed Milos... but just a bit. Alys' healing also helped him relax... just a little.

(https://i.imgur.com/MVW0Yfo.png) "Th...thanks."

Though his morale was low, he still tried to show some optimism, and danced for his crew... but he didn't show off too much.

Claire allowed herself a small feeling of relief as the opponents left standing began to thin out in front of them. A little breathing room. A little time to assist her commander, with Milos' help.

She felt into the magic once more, took the shape of the wind.

(https://i.imgur.com/fl2hA4E.png) "Okay... I've got your back." Even as she said the words, wind was already curling around Grae, slicing this way and that at the tiger to wear it out - dull knives, a thousand cuts against its hide.

She shouted out some magic words and gathered her power once again, a single spark appeared before her and floated down towards the tiger. The seemingly harmless thing drew close to the laguz and then exploded in a shower of coloured light.

She didn't like seeing any of them hurt. She didn't have the best tome for what she wanted to do, either... but she began to pull at the wind where she could, preparing to hassle and draw the attention of any flankers who might try their luck.

Vanessa looked back over towards the remaining Laguz, giving an over-dramatic sigh as they approached. Seems like it was straight back into the show. She snapped her fingers and balls of light appeared around her, they rose up into the air and began to spin. Faster and faster they moved until reaching a blinding speed and arcing towards the cat that had attacked Milos.

The more the cat attacked Milos, the more he panicked. While the panicked look was evident on his face, he did not shout nor make any noises, and he tried to keep up a determined look about him, occasionally stealing glances to see if Grae was watching him closely to see how he reacted. He tried to keep up a fight, but he was in trouble... all he could do was support his allies and pray that things went well for them.

Vanessa flinched slightly as the cat scratched her, still she kept the smile on her face though. Until the end of the performance you always needed to put on a brave face. Still, she moved away from the cat and focused her attention now on the bird Laguz. A bird of light formed in mid air and she twirled sending it flying towards its twin.

Claws grazed Claire across her left arm, nothing but a distraction as she fell back to retaliate.

It was the first time she had been injured in this fight, and the realization came with mixed feelings, small and silly doubts. But those could wait for later.

"Y-Yes sir!" the young girl peeps as she runs from motionless form to motionless form. She tries to keep her thoughts off of her face, but she can't keep herself from wondering...
What would have happened if we couldn't handle this?
Her thoughts go back to her mother's disappearance, and the high probability that Laguz simply deemed her caravan "unworthy..." She shuddered.

As Alys restored the Laguz group from their more serious injuries, they began to group up, shamefaced and ready to leave.

(https://i.imgur.com/ebLAHUI.png) Grae watched the Laguz as they recovered and made to leave. He hadn't expected treachery, but it didn't hurt to keep watch until they were gone. Still, he could do two things at once. "Claire. Do you have a moment?"

Title: Re: Fire Emblem on Forums: Laguz Test Game IC

Claire blinked, then lowered her voice to match his.

(https://i.imgur.com/PPrrIBQ.png) "I'm... not really sure. You're interested in that? And you know I never really studied magic, not that way..."

She was surprised, but if that was what Grae wanted, if he trusted her enough to draw her into this seemingly private conversation - she really had to think about it hard, then. After a moment, she patted her Wind tome where she had stowed it.

(https://i.imgur.com/PPrrIBQ.png) "Hmm... The tome I've been using is pretty introductory, and I'm sure I have others like it left over. No good for fighting, but it might still work to read through them... it'd probably be best to have something to practice with, too."

"...When I was younger, I spent a couple months trying to pick up the skills necessary after I was told I had potential. It was a struggle the entire time, and swordplay came easier, so in the end I abandoned it. I'm starting to think it was a mistake."

Alys took a shaky breath as the beast-people walked away. Rapid-fire Healing was never her strong suit, and she rarely saw actual combat where she had been assigned - just near-dead soldiers to drag back to the land of the living. She went over to the shell shocked dancer who looked like he was ready to faint.
"So, that went decently, right?"

Of course, she didn't know why he was keeping this private right now. She could guess, but she didn't really want to pry just for the sake of her curiosity.

(https://i.imgur.com/PPrrIBQ.png) "And... I don't think it's a mistake to do what you're good at. It got us here, and even if it was... we can do something about that now."

But I'm certainly not getting any younger. Where my muscles will someday fail me, my mind... Well, it'll take longer, at least..." The vulnerability behind the statement hung in the air for a few moments before Grae changed the subject.  "Of what study I did in my youth, I studied anima.

Claire almost felt like she was protesting, even though she was just trying to get him the best help possible, and she wasn't sure why. It felt... good to be trusted, though. Maybe part of her wanted it to stay a secret between the two of them. Or maybe she was imagining the secret in the first place. "Still... you can count on me."

After the last bit of fighting ending, Milos took a second to get a little bit of distance from everyone to take some deep breaths and calm down. Afterwards, he made his way back to the group after Grae called everyone together; a little bit fidgety and sweating a little, but mostly calmed down.

As the last of the Laguz went beyond range of sight, the light rain that had persisted throughout the battle finally cleared, and Grae and his mercenaries resumed the last leg of their journey. Not only did the rain clear, but the sky did as well, leaving the sun to shine high in the sky, though it was beginning to lower as the group approached their destination.

The lake town of Mendisoro was not a large village by the standards of human society, and not much larger than other villages around the countryside despite the lake teeming with fish. Nonetheless, it was a permanent home for nearly a hundred Laguz year round. More to the point, it was relatively close to the Morcian Border and home to a royal audience chamber. South of the town itself stood a cave, and after a short round of questions from Grae they were directed to it. At the entrance, they found two large, imposing guards. They lit torches for the group, and led them down the hall toward the king...

The assembled Laguz had been waiting for some time, with no company apart from a handful of guards and Himos, Lord of the Cats and King of Sampia. He had hand selected them from a group of applicants hundreds strong, though he had not yet divulged why, nor responded to any line of inquiry, except that of payment.

(https://i.imgur.com/ZgGxrPX.png) "Should you complete the tasks I have for you, each of you shall be named Elites and granted land of your choosing." However, thereafter, he fell silent. And he remained so for many hours, until the footfalls in the hallway could be heard. More than half a dozen- and many not Laguz. The king straightened in his seat, and his long nailed fingers grasped upon the armrests of the throne.

Aurelia, Aya, Heledd, Joachim, Jupi, and Kawri are in!

A strongly built human man in light armor was the first to enter the room behind one of the King's guards, who was holding a torch aloft. He was older than the legends around him suggested- But wasn't that always the way? He was followed by six women. No men- curious. Still this was Steelhart. Old he was, certainly, but the weight of experience was clear in the man's stance. Once his followers had arranged themselves behind him, the man spoke.

(https://i.imgur.com/ebLAHUI.png) "Your Majesty. I am Grae Steelhart, here at your request. What do you wish of my men and myself?"

(https://i.imgur.com/ZgGxrPX.png) Himos sat tall in his throne, holding his chin high. "Guards. You will leave us. I will speak with the humans and my assembled team in private." Himos said nothing more until the guards that had escorted his visitors in had returned from whence they had come. "...You are Grae Steelhart, yes. The legendary mercenary, commander of hundreds across the continent. Victor in battles innumerable. I would have your services."

(https://i.imgur.com/ebLAHUI.png) The man was silent for a few moments before it became clear that the King was not going to continue. "Your majesty, we would be honored to serve. What task do you have for us?"

(https://i.imgur.com/ZgGxrPX.png) King Himos stiffened. This would be the first time he had put words to thoughts for three weeks- and even now the thought unnerved him. But when he spoke, his tones were as rich and even as they ever were. "The Morcians have declared war on my people. Though their attacks are weak and few in number, I fear something terrible has happened." The king grit his teeth, and his fangs shone in the sunlight streaming through the hole in the cave roof. "My... I have four children, Steelhart. And my youngest, Ella, has been missing for a full three weeks. I suspect she may have been kidnapped. If she has, those Morcian scum could be planning to use her as leverage. If they were to threaten her-" The King stopped short, then inhaled deeply. "I must, and will, put my nation first. But I would like for you to ensure that such a thing does not come to pass. I want you to infiltrate Morcia and recover my daughter. Do this, and your reward will be great."

(https://i.imgur.com/ebLAHUI.png) Steelhart barely moved, but suddenly exuded the sense of a predator. "I believe I understand the situation, Your Majesty. I do have a policy of determining precisely the nature of the reward for my band. What do you offer for us?"

(https://i.imgur.com/ZgGxrPX.png) Himos grimaced, and reached within the loose fitting robes he wore. When his hand emerged again, it was clutching a sack, which he threw toward Grae with a scowl. "That bag contains three thousand of the gold coins that the Morcians use in trade. I offer five times that much to each of your subordinates and yourself when you return with my daughter alive and well. I offer that gold to you as an incentive to do my bidding. I also insist that you be accompanied by some of my own." The King stood, and gestured toward the room behind him. With the King outside the spot of light allowed in from the cave, it was possible to see 6 Laguz standing in the rear of the room.

(https://i.imgur.com/ebLAHUI.png) "We accept your terms. We will return with your daughter, one way or another."

Joachim crossed his arms and smiled to himself, humming and seemingly lost in thought until Grae and his team arrived, at which point the cat silently stalked around them and gave them all a good sniff from the shadows before returning to his original position. Eventually the king gave the mercenaries their mission and some pay, then stepped aside to introduce him - and the others, of course.

To say he felt out of place in this stuffy chamber of equally stuffy high-ups is something of an understatement. A king is so far from wherever on the totem pole someone like him falls that it's hard to even imagine. Maybe exactly because of that, or maybe because of some other reason, Jupi doesn't seem ruffled in spite of the high-stakes audience.

For one reason or another, he'd been picked by this king to join an 'elite' force of fighters. It sounds grand, but more than that, it sounds exciting. He'd been starting to get bored of the same haunts, the same air currents, the same fare. The king's promise of making all of them elites falls on more or less ignorant ears. Jupi has no idea what that entails, except that it probably means he gets to order other people around like this king does. Land, too, doesn't stir his pinions much either, at least until he thinks about what that means for Granny. But would she even accept something like that, even from a stuffy king?

Eh, probably not.

Jupi manages to keep on his best behavior the whole conversation, keeping keen, eager eyes on the band of humans as they walk in, scanning each of them over in turn like they're brand new toys.

One of the laguz the king had introduced was a bit different from the others - indistinguishable from a human at a glance, maybe taking a second look to realize her "cloak" was actually her wings. Another thing was that she seemed distinctly uncomfortable, shifting from foot to foot. While many laguz's mannerisms sometimes resembled their animal forms, this one was acting basically like a person.

Aurelia was fairly quiet as she waited patiently for the others to come in. Mostly because she was beginning to realize how utterly in over her head she had gotten and would really rather not see the king realize that. Or some of the other... "elites", she guessed? When she agreed to help that group as recompense for beating the heck out of that one guy that had attacked her, she had not expected she would go this far, this fast. And yet here she was. It was a tad late to back out... and, with a glance at the other bird laguz present, maybe there was still an opportunity here.

Her heart leapt when she saw the humans arrive - humans! She hadn't seen one since arriving in the country, which was a massive change from her home - the bird-girl visibly relaxed as she saw them come in. She had come to learn, of course... but being thrown in the deep end had been rather harrowing, so just seeing those from a more familiar species was comforting.

(https://i.imgur.com/wmMPI5j.png)"Hello! I'm, uh Aurelia." she walked a little bit forward, beginning to offer a handshake, but then figured that would be a bit silly in this setting. "I look forward to working with you all!" She hoped that was alright, trying to keep it a little formal at least. Probably was.

Over in the corner, a small woman with bushy hair almost the size of her body leans on a wall, examining everyone else with a curious eye. Behind her, her tail flicks about, her wandering eye looking over the group walking in. Humans. Probably not the type to skin her and hang her head on a wall like a mounted deer, considering they hadn't killed everyone yet. That's good. They had to be the other half of their team. Even better.

Elites weren't anything of her concern. She wasn't exactly attached to land at all; one day she'd be here, the next she'd be gone, to follow wherever her heart took her. The only place she really called home was back home, with her family, on their small farm, far far away. Still, she reckoned she could fight, and she was promised a reward. And money wasn't exactly easy to come by as a Laguz wandering the world to see the beautiful things in it and really only living off the land and whatever odd jobs she could find; bandaging yourself up was surprisingly rough when you couldn't afford money to buy some fabrics and wrapping your wounds in leaves wasn't exactly always an option.

Being as she was a wanderer, she was both fairly comfortable with humans and also much like them in mannerisms anyway. Then again, dogs and humans tended to get along well BECAUSE they acted pretty alike. Made sense that a wolf Laguz could understand a human well enough. At least, that's what Aya had heard; she wasn't exactly a scholar and didn't exactly know if it was true or not.

She heads over casually, strutting along, feet in sandals and easy-going grin plastered on her face.

In the presence of the king, Milos was doing somewhat okay in keeping his cool and not going into a complete panic. The skirmish against the group had steeled him just a tad bit; if anything, he was just relieved that they were on the king's side and not planning on a fight. He planned to just keep himself quiet and out of the way and let Grae do the talking and then do whatever task given to him.

What he was not prepared for was learning that he was going to be traveling with three of the things that terrified him so much.

His terror was quickly replaced by not making eye contact and trying not to look utterly freaked out; he wasn't sure what worried him most, the three allies working with him being what he feared most, or Grae's disappointment. He tried to think of positives. There were only three; three of them were birds, and he didn't mind the birds so much, though Kawri's comment made him recoil just a bit. It was enough to stop him from trying to correct her that he was male.

(https://i.imgur.com/MVW0Yfo.png) "Er... I-I'm actually a b-... er....."

While trying to process a polite way to correct the very threatening bird, he stole a glance at Joachim (who, of course, he kept throwing glances at all of the beasts to make sure he wouldn't get suddenly attacked) winking at him. He had been considering not saying his name, but the wink was enough.

(https://i.imgur.com/mcXvbWE.png) "M-Milos! Milos! It's Milos!"

He gave a brief moment of silence after he panicked, looking around at anyone, his expression trying to mellow out at the potential judgmental glances of his team and potential prey-seeking glances of his new teammates.

This mission was going to be rough.

Joachim laughed boisterously at Milos's reaction. That, he hadn't expected. The poor dancer was just so very flustered - they must not have gotten such attention before.

A muscular woman watched over the various interactions with a sort of vague disinterest; in fact, it was only apparent that she was paying attention at all because she rolled her eyes at Joachim's rather grandiose claims. Boy was nearly still a kitten and claimed to be the best of the best? Well, he was here, so that meant something. . . but she wasn't impressed yet. Nor was she overly impressed with the humans, but they seemed to be at least interesting to mess with. Especially when Jupi pointed out that the boy seemed to be afraid of Laguz. Hearing this, she padded forward, the motion nearly silent, and suddenly swept forward, placing one arm around his shoulders and leaning on him affectionately.
(https://i.imgur.com/6B6GEM1.png)"What, afraid of a harmless little cat like me? Oh, but why? I don't mean you any harm. . ." She stepped back, flashing a toothy grin at him. "Mages usually taste better anyway. Not so stringy."

It almost felt like Milos was going through a complete physical and mental shutdown, especially as he was patted and questioned, and especially after making a complete fool out of himself. Many, many thoughts were going through his mind at the moment, and he tried to voice something to try and cover himself up so that Grae wouldn't be embarrassed.

(https://i.imgur.com/mcXvbWE.png) "...Eep."

That was all he managed to get out as Joachim and one of the other Beasts began to get way too close for comfort, even if they were regular humans. It took a little bit to muster the courage to speak, notably as he looked at Grae, trying to save face.

(https://i.imgur.com/MVW0Yfo.png) "...I... I'm scared of... beast Laguz... I-I don't know why, I-... I just am... I came because... I wanted... To overcome that fear... because it's... irrational..."

Vannesa strode into the chamber, as confident as ever despite her unfamiliar surroundings. Her usual smile was still on her face and she flashed it at everyone she passed, as she finally laid eyes on the king her smile only grew. She gave a deep and overly dramatic bow as she stood before him, she listened to the king's request eager to hear the task that she would soon become famous for completing. When he was finally finished she turned her attention to the remaining Laguz in the room,

"Aaww, they're just being cats," he chirrups to Aurelia. "They're kinda territorial, don't you know? It's pretty fun to watch." He continues to observe with a curious smile as the cats assault the poor dancer, who seems to grow smaller with each second.

(https://i.imgur.com/ZgGxrPX.png) King Himos was already at the end of his patience with the combined group's antics. When he spoke again, it was a roar that shook the hall. "Each of you will take this responsibility seriously!" Himos pointed an accusing finger at Grae. "You will explain why you have brought a whimpering child into my presence. Do you seek to insult me in my time of need, human?"

(https://i.imgur.com/ebLAHUI.png) "...I am no fool, Your Majesty. I brought him because he will be useful. He can refresh a warrior at a moments notice, and is a talented swordsman in his own right. His problem with your people isn't relevant to the task at hand- or wasn't, until you saw fit to add your own to my ranks. In any case, I have complete faith in his ability to perform under pressure." Grae's words were almost subservient, but the gaze he met Himos' with was like iron.

(https://i.imgur.com/ZgGxrPX.png) "...Then go, and prove his ability and yours. Find my daughter."

(https://i.imgur.com/ebLAHUI.png) "Of course." Grae turned and swept from the room, deftly pushing Milos out in front of him. There wouldn't be much time to speak alone before the others followed, but he had enough time to ask the most important questions. "Are you alright? Are you going to be?"

The king's roar is enough to quiet him, though not dim the eager light of his expression. He's had enough experience around angry adults to know when is the best time to shut his beak, even if his wings still rustle with excitement for what's to come.

There hadn't been time to say much more before Milos became the center of everyone's attention. She'd wanted to help him, but she hadn't been sure how to do so without making the situation worse. The king's displeasure had been terrible to behold as well...

She was glad when things wound down. Even though she wanted to join Grae and Milos, the best way to help now was probably to match everyone else's somewhat leisurely pace. Quietly, she did so, and made no particular show of mingling.

Aurelia winced, although she knew (/hoped) that she was taking it seriously enough not to be one of the targets of the outburst. She didn't say anything though, just walking out a bit after the humans and after bowing (was that a thing laguz did?).

All Milos really could do was stand there in silence in response to everything, as he had nothing else to say; he had already said his piece and he hoped that would bring a little understanding. He initially looked a tad relieved that the king was calling the Laguz to order... but something stirred inside of Milos at the comment of him being a 'whimpering child'. It was something that paralyzed him more than he already was paralyzed from. It wasn't just fear, it was... a bit of... some kind of angry feeling. If he wasn't still afraid, and if he wasn't standing in the presence of a king, he might have stood up, but all he really did was shrink back in shame.

Grae's encouragement, however, was enough to somewhat bring a bit more of a spring back into his step. He stood up a little more, but still said nothing... only trying to look a little more confident, even if he was still trembling. He tried to take deep breaths as quietly as he could as Grae spoke on his behavior. He looked... a bit ashamed as Grae came to him.

(https://i.imgur.com/MVW0Yfo.png) "I-...I'll be fine... I-I'm really sorry about overreacting and... getting you in trouble with the king like that. But... I promise I'll... I'll get better over all of this. It just caught me off guard..."

...Milos' words dropped to a whisper he only intended for Grae and himself to hear.

I make a habit of working with people that I specifically elect to work with. The six of you do not meet that standard. I don't know how you fight, I don't know your skill set. Here is what I do know. I am in command of this operation. You will follow my orders. Everyone fights. No one quits. We're leaving for Cuue, immediately.

She hadn't meant to offend the king, but she also couldn't deny the amusement she'd garnered from teasing that Milos. "I can handle my own shelter. This isn't my first hunt. And I don't quit until I've caught my prey." She glanced at Milos first, then Joachim at that. "And you, panther kit, should be careful about those jokes.

Grae's encouragement was enough to give Milos a little more confidence in himself, his stutter beginning to waver as Grae assured him.

(https://i.imgur.com/0E5qvXk.png) "Thank you, sir..."

After that, however, Milos nervously waited for the sleeping arrangement results, because even though he assured himself he wouldn't be so afraid of his comrades, the idea of sharing a tent with Joachim was a bit scary. Thankfully, it seemed they might not have to... but overhearing his comment made him flinch a bit.

(https://i.imgur.com/MVW0Yfo.png) "I won't..."

He doesn't sound very convincing. Regardless, he marched on, trying to take a little more of a front-marching role rather than staying in the back like he usually did... though he kept his distance from the beasts.

Even if his firsthand experience doesn't match up, he can imagine it cognitively. Granny would get worried whenever he was out for too long, so it was probably something like that.

He's migrated to the front of the traveling band by force of habit, hovering in the air several meters up and some paces in front of the others, even Grae, and keeping an eye on the terrain coming up and any signs of abnormality.

(https://i.imgur.com/PPrrIBQ.png) "..." Claire walked with the rest of them, staying mostly with the other mercenaries. She was sticking a little closer to Milos than she usually did; still, she had no intention of pushing into his space.

If there was something she could understand among all of this, it was what the bird laguz were talking about. She could understand the king on that if maybe not on anything else. That was what family was about. Sticking together. Caring for each other. Of course there was no point in saying that, though - she just knew she agreed.

And about the rest, the job and everything that came with it, she trusted Grae. That hadn't and wouldn't change, even with these new laguz thrown into the plans.

Speaking of them... As Jupi's flying caught her attention for a moment, she picked at her hood with one hand in thought.

Alys was still tense from the king. For a moment she thought that "simpering child" was her! She breathed a bit easier at these Laguz' casual conversation, though.

She was always much better at talking to half-unconscious people, keeping them this side of death.

(https://i.imgur.com/SxKKqv5.png)"Is, um, that weird...?" she asked, a little nervous. It was worth noting that, unlike Jupi, Aurelia was walking - the conversation had to continue when he was near enough to the ground for her not to shout.

Unfortunately for Alys, the wind in Jupi's ears and the distance makes it so he can't make out what she says, unaware of her attempt to join in on the conversation.

Noticing distinctly that Aurelia doesn't take to wing, Jupi makes his circles smaller to stay in her vicinity, continuing his passive surveillance from the air above her head.

Joachim was content for the moment just listening to his new allies talking among themselves, but after a while he noticed one of them had been more or less completely silent the entire time. Maybe she was just shy. Well, in that case, he'd just start the conversation himself, and he fell into step beside Clover.

(https://www.dropbox.com/s/56b2flvrx7gov06/AtEase.png?raw=1) "You'rrre a quiet one, eh? Not nerrrvous about worrrking with a bunch of Laguz like Crrrawforrrd are you?"

The lanky cat laguz was still purring quietly as he spoke, completely at ease with these humans. They were basically the same as the people back home in Navarre when you got down to it, except without the claws and less grace.
Title: Re: Fire Emblem on Forums: Laguz Test Game IC
Post by: Sheyra on January 24, 2019, 10:41:17 am
Clover would remain silent throughout the meeting with the King, lingering near the back of the group where she could stay unobtrusive without being rude about it. She hadn't exactly had the best experience the first time she had the opportunity to 'meet' royalty. Finding out that they had been brought here to rescue some princess didn't exactly fill her with motivation either. Clover could sympathize with the girl's plight at being taken away from her home unwillingly; she'd lived through that firsthand. And given the girl was a laguz and royalty to boot, there was no chance her captor would give her a real chance to escape like Clover had had when she was younger. But still, this seemed like some excessive lengths to go to just to find some girl.

She'd remain pretty tense throughout the meeting with the king, frowning ever so slightly as he foisted a half dozen of his own kind onto their group. The extra manpower would be useful if it came to a pitched battle, but good luck sneaking a group this size into wherever the girl was being held. Also, seeing them pick on poor Milos bothered her. It wasn't like they were doing him any real harm or anything, but the poor guy was going to have a rough time of it this mission, and given how invaluable his support was, he really deserved better than this nonsense.

As they finally left that cave palace thing and began making their way back onto the open road... mud, whatever, Clover would sigh with some relief, much of her tension beginning to melt away once they were back out under the open sky. She'd turn her head to look at Joachim as he approached, shrugging a little in response to his questions.

(https://i.imgur.com/UP4zMnm.png) "I'm just really bad with royalty, really." She'd smile a bit. "I've never worked with a laguz before, but I try to keep an open mind. I wouldn't say I'm... comfortable? But once we get to know each other better, I'll get over it. Though..."

(https://i.imgur.com/nX8G49L.png) And Clover would pause for a moment, before leaning over towards Joachim, narrowing her eyes a bit. "I expect you're done with teasing Milos. Right?"
Title: Re: Fire Emblem on Forums: Laguz Test Game IC
Post by: SeriousConcentrate on January 24, 2019, 10:49:46 am
Joachim looked from Clover to Milos and considered.

(https://www.dropbox.com/s/jadf0roel3kmpr3/Neutral.png?raw=1) "Aye, forrr a while. It's just in fun and all but I don't want to bully the lad, and he looks like he's had all he can take at the moment."

He held a hand up and moved it slightly to the side as if that somehow illustrated his point.

(https://www.dropbox.com/s/jadf0roel3kmpr3/Neutral.png?raw=1) "I've neverrr worrrked with humans beforrre, eitherrr. You seven arrre the firrrst I've even met."

The redhead had mentioned royalty, and Joachim chewed on that for a bit before responding.

(https://www.dropbox.com/s/56b2flvrx7gov06/AtEase.png?raw=1) "As forrr the king, well, he's the king. Not exactly what I expected eitherrr. I was thinking more like tall and powerrrful, a rrreal hunterrr. But I think yourrr leaderrr is closerrr to what I imagined a king to be. What's he like?"

She frowned a bit at the question of what being raised with humans was "like", although it was more out of thought than any kind of upset-ness. "Well... it's hard to describe, honestly?

Iris was quiet throughout the meeting with the King, but inside she was rather excited. The sort of payoff promised for this job would go a long way into paying her families debts, after all. She was then brought out of her internal monologue by something stated by one of the Laguz that had come along.

Heledd, drifting about and looking for more ways to amuse herself, idly scanned the group. That Aurelia seemed to be having an interesting time talking to the rest of the birds; maybe she should be a nuisance over there? Or perhaps bother that Milos more. . . but she wouldn't want to scare the boy so badly that he'd start outright hiding from her. Which largely left the big cheese himself. She slunk over towards the mercenary commander.

Clover would nod after a moment. At least Joachim knew when to stop pushing. And to be fair, maybe a little teasing would help Milos get used to things faster or something.

Instead of giving into her urge to hover protectively around Milos, which she was sure he would find embarrassing at best, Claire fell into step beside him and Vanessa.

Milos' heart skips a beat when Vanessa talks to him, but upon realizing that it was just her, he calmed down quickly.

(https://i.imgur.com/cBb8RbO.png) "Um... I'm fine... at least right now, I am... the scene in the throne room was really, really scary... and then the king's words kind of... hurt. But... but I feel like that whole experience was... okay. Because... right now, just travelling with them, doesn't seem as bad as... that. But I... am feeling better. Thank you, Vanessa..."

Milos pauses at Claire's question.

(https://i.imgur.com/ggQu1ZT.png) "Um... hm." Milos ponders this. "Probably... I've never had to sneak around before, though... I imagine I'd be okay, I'm kind of nimble, but hopefully I'll at least... not be so jumpy by the time we end up having to do something like that..."

(https://i.imgur.com/PPrrIBQ.png) "Mm, it'll be fine, I think..." Claire gave it a bit of thought herself - she had asked the question partially out of curiosity and partially to give Milos an opportunity to turn the conversation off of himself if he was tired of being asked if he was okay. From his response, she was glad to know she'd been overthinking things. "Plenty of us are less sneaky," she said, gathering a handful of her robes in one hand as if to demonstrate, "and we'll have each others' backs."

It was probably mostly her, actually. Vanessa seemed about as nimble as Milos even if sneaking around didn't seem her style.

If she could knock out an attacker, though, that seemed enough for her to be here with the rest of them. She'd just be doing more of that anyway. But for all he knew, it might have been pure chance. Seemed odd for someone like the king of Sampia to pick someone who wasn't experienced with combat, or at least investigation.

I can fight, but I'm the one that helps the group get in through the back door when the front is crawling with guards."

She'd pause for just a short moment, smiling just a bit.

(https://i.imgur.com/UP4zMnm.png) "And if there's treasure to be had the back way, so much the better!"

Clover would look at Joachim, considering him for a moment.

A few days later, the group was approaching the Morcian border. The weather had improved significantly over the past few days, leading to calm, sunny days spent traversing the untamed landscapes of Sampia.

(https://i.imgur.com/ebLAHUI.png) "We'll probably attract too much scrutiny passing through one of the border checkpoints. The wolf and the birds would attract enough attention as is, but I don't doubt they'd detain the cats. We'll try scaling one of the less well patrolled areas of the border."

Grae shushed the group as they drew closer to the border. As the group forged onward, a wall grew in the distance. The southern border wall of Morcia, built at the close of the War of the Walkers, made from the only resource that Morcia has in abundance- stone.

It was a project that the Morcian people were constantly retouching, defying the never ending march of time by repairing what damage it did to the wall. Some sections of the wall were in poor repair. This was not one of them.

(https://i.imgur.com/ebLAHUI.png) "Well that's disappointing. I'd have thought this section wouldn't have received repairs yet." Grae remained quiet for a few moments, then turned his eyes on the gatehouse. "Alright. It's not in our interest to look for a more damaged section to scramble over. We'll break down the door- if we have to- and march right through. Judging by the patrollers on top of the wall-" Grae pointed to two indistinct shapes on top of the wall. "-They don't have a large force stationed here. I think we can break through, without too much trouble at least." Grae looked back at the bird Laguz who were accompanying him. "Ballistae are kept on the wall. Mind their range. Let's move."

The group, being small and lightly armored, was able to get fairly close before they were spotted by the patrols. "An attack force! Bar the gate!" One of the defenders on the wall blew a horn, letting a signal carry into the distance.

(https://i.imgur.com/ebLAHUI.png) "Clover, I want that door open before they get the chance to bar it. Everyone else, move up!"

Vanessa looked up at the stone wall that loomed over them, a smile on her face as she thought of the new challenge that presented itself to them. It was time to show these Laguz what she could really do, she strode forwards her tome in her hands.

Claire wasn't sure if she was thanking Kawri or Milos. Probably both. Though she couldn't complain about the results of her last attack, she couldn't quite bring herself to smile about it. Sometimes there was a weak point she happened to exploit; sometimes her magic surged beyond her expectations. Now she was praised for it, instead of being a nuisance to her foster family.

Fighting, killing... it didn't get easier. Not even after all this time. But it was her job, and at least she knew why she was doing it.

Aya, clearly exasperated by Joachim's antics, resolves to take the situation seriously. After all, being impaled by various implements of murder was not quite conducive to a life on the high road of travelling. It was about time, anyway, to get going.

Just a small part of her power to transform. Not enough to fully transform into her true, Laguz form. Just enough to show off a little power. It was something she'd learned a long while ago; travelling on four feet was faster than two, but going into full Laguz form was draining and exhausting, not something you wanted when you were travelling alone. By funnelling just a little bit of her natural strength, Aya had figured out she could stay in her wolf form indefinitely, without having to transform back, at the cost of giving up some of her strength.

Much more handy than eating flowers and taking long naps afterwards when you just needed to hop across a large gap or take down a nice deer, anyway.

The opening Grae made was more than enough, even as one of the laguz went in to widen it. Claire hurried to provide covering fire from outside, her robes swirling around her from her magic and her movement.

Well, Aurelia couldn't stand in the back lines encouraging the others forever. She didn't like violence, but she had a job to do, and these people would want to kill her if she didn't take them first. The adrenaline of combat was getting to her, too. She didn't like it, really, but she had an urge to fly. She took a deep breath, then another, hopping foot to foot. Right, combat transformation, she could do that. The young woman darted forward, ducking between the pillar as her body began to emit light.

A flash of light, and an oversized eagle dived out of the pillars to claw at the mage.

Well, that didn't work quite right. Maybe she shouldn't have warned him that she was attacking. Aurelia decided to let the others handle the mage - those ballistas were still going, and she could help get rid of them! She flew up the wall, and while the ballista was reloading swooped down, talons out.

After taking her talons out of the body and internally wincing, Aurelia flew down the wall to meet the party on the other side, and quickly transformed back to her normal self. She took a few deep breaths, part stressed by what she'd just done and part just happy that nobody on the team had been badly hurt.

While dancing usually wasn't physically exhausting, the mental exhaustion of having to dance around (and occasionally for) Beast Laguz was straining, as he not only was afraid to stand near them but also he was just plain nervous about having to perform his best. Regardless, it was done.

She finished her Heal with a burst of determination, and helped her patient... Vanessa, was it? Onto her feet.

Once Alys had put the group back on their feet, they continued North, entering Morcia proper. Before long, Grae directed their path west, toward the port city Cuue. Home to thousands of Morcian citizens, and a great military and cultural center for them. As the mercenaries approached the city, a thick cover of clouds rolled in from the sea, casting the city in a dim, dirty light. But before they drew too close, Grae called the group to a halt, announced he would return shortly, and left alone.

(https://i.imgur.com/ebLAHUI.png) In a little under an hour, he returned, tossing hoods to Heledd and Joachim. "Alright. Let's try to keep a low profile, especially you two. I'm sure you understand, considering that there's a war on, the locals likely aren't going to be very warm to you. If anyone asks, you're wolves, not cats. They don't like wolf laguz, but they aren't at war with them either." Grae looked over his group, particularly at his hand selected group. "We've got a budget to spend. Three thousand gold coins. Check out the shops, pick up anything you think you might need. Ask around, see if you can learn anything about Laguz being captured in the south while you're at it. If they understand who they have, its possible some loudmouth has bragged about it. If they don't, there may be enough Laguz being captured that someone knows something about it. Joachim, Heledd. Neither of you are to travel within the city without a human escort. Am I understood?"

Joachim responded by stepping close to Milos and wrapping an arm around the smaller man's waist.

Okay. Town full of wolves. This was going to be terrifying, but he was going to try his best to get through it. He was just going to stay close to his fellow mercenaries, or potentially one of the bird Laguz even, maybe do a little bit of shopping if he felt like it, but most of all he was just going to stay out of the way for everyone.

When Grae mentioned human escorts, Milos immediately had a chorus of pleading that he would not be chosen as an escort. While he was ready to try and blend into the crowd, he was not ready to conceal his fear and hang around the thing he fears for whoever knows how long.

...And then he gets grabbed by Joachim. A tiny, very faint shriek that was quickly suppressed came out of Milos as he recoiled similarly to what one would do after seeing a particularly large spider. Seeing Grae's face made him show a conflict of emotions. Did he beg for reprieve and safety, or did he just suck it up and hope that Joachim's intentions were pure? Milos tried to voice his moral dilemma.

(https://i.imgur.com/mcXvbWE.png) "I, er, well, that is to say, uh, I think, well, um..."

She wouldn't go so far to say she didn't trust Joachim, and she did have faith in Milos... but their dynamic meant that she thought it was possible that Milos could have a hard time keeping Joachim in check.

Milos was really not sure that Joachim watching him was the point of the whole escort idea, but Claire and Aurelia bailing him out a little bit eased his tension. At the same time, he was still having a bit of trouble wriggling out of Joachim's grip, not because it was too strong for him (though it probably was), just that he was too shaky to attempt it. Attempting to try and ignore the fact that he was in a grip by Joachim, he tried to talk to Aurelia.

(https://i.imgur.com/MVW0Yfo.png) "Ah, um, you needed to, uh... t-talk to me? About something? Uh... I-I can certainly talk to you about... whatever you need!"

He looked toward Grae back. He tried to show a little more of a confident face, though his sweat marks were still pretty evident.

Even if Aurelia was making things up on the spot, it was still a little heartwarming to Milos even in his time of utter fear that she was trying her best. Combined with Iris attempting to also help him feel a bit more comfortable, he didn't feel so nervous and his shakiness eased up quite a bit despite Joachim being in very close proximity.

Well... it seemed that this was happening. Aurelia coughed and motioned towards town, and would then lead the way. Hopefully having a bunch of other people with him would help Milos not shake in his boots so much. That wouldn't look great to a town not liking beast laguz all that much...

Upon her motions, Milos quieted down hurriedly followed Aurelia, trying to stay as close as possible to her. He hoped town wouldn't be... too overwhelming to him as a whole. He tried to keep his distance from Joachim, keeping close to Aurelia... and he didn't respond to Joachim's question, because he wasn't sure he could do it.

The first group, consisting of Aurelia, Aya, Milos, Joachim, and Iris, made their way into the city. At the gates, after a short visual inspection of Aya and Joachim, the group was waved through. Within, the city was swarming with people moving around. Hundreds of people moved through the dirty streets, moving between stalls and doorways, fistfuls of coins trading hands. The noise of the crowd was nothing special to those who had visited cities before, but was probably new to those that hadn't.

Joachim was struck dumb by all the sounds and smells and people but mostly just the sight. He wanted to start pouncing everything in sight! But he had to rein that in. That was uncouth and would get him kicked out of the city if not the team as well. So he settled for just gently putting a hand on Milos's shoulder and kneading it in an attempt to destress as he took everything in.

Aurelia, in contrast, seemed to almost get more comfortable as the more urban area. This was what she was familiar with, to a degree. It wasn't like her own home, but it was closer than she'd seen since she left. She wasn't exactly pretending to be human (more than she usually did anyway), although keeping her wings folded in and being on the ground might confuse someone at a glance.

(https://i.imgur.com/wmMPI5j.png)"Yeah, it's nice isn't it?" she almost cheerfully, despite the context. She did stick close though. "Well, I guess it's more of a thing you get used to.

Milos whimpered just a tad as he walked rather closely to Aurelia. He wasn't going to entirely chicken out, however, so he attempted to join in on the conversation rather than just be a constant silent wimp.

(https://i.imgur.com/MVW0Yfo.png) "I'm... not the best with groups of people, personally... I-I mean, I'm fine with small groups, but large bustling crowds... I tend to get lost easily..."

The first group into the city ends up looking into general supplies first. Multiple stalls offer food and pottery, but travelling ware and medicines would be found in brick and mortar shops, including the one they tried first.

A fat old man, with a surprisingly neutral scent despite the stains on his shirt around his armpits, waved them closer as they stepped through the door. "Welcome friends! Are you looking for emergency medicines? Because if you are, you have come through the right door!"

Milos lets out a quiet 'eep' as Joachim puts a hand on his shoulder, and spends the rest of the walk to the shop in complete and utter silence. Looking at the selection, Milos still does not speak, only looking at the selection, not seeming like anything was interesting him in particular.

Grae, Claire, and Heledd made their way into the city, as did Jupi. They were all quickly waved through the gates, and Jupi was left to his own devices while the other three headed for the Steelhart Mercenary guildhouse.

______________________

"A blacksmith eh? Yeah, I suppose I know a man. You want to make your way down the thoroughfare, deeper into the city. There's an alehouse, it'll be on your left, the sign has a cat's face. You want to go through the alley just in front of the building. When you come out on the other side, keep heading further in. You want the sign with the three axes." The man leaned against the counter as he peered at the group. "You get all that?"

______________________

Grae entered the Guildhouse. It was a small building, much like any of the others that could be found on the continent. Part bank, part storehouse, part bunkhouse, and part talent agency, the guildhouses were open to the public, but for the moment this one was mostly empty, apart from one of the company's axe fighters hunched over one of several tables with a pair of merchants, having a hushed discussion.

Also apart from a woman looking through a ledger, who straightened up as Grae and the two women with him came through the door. Claire knew her. Victoria, the logistics officer for this location. Like Grae, she used to be a more active member of the company, but she seemed to have retired for good, despite being much younger. On one hand, it was a shame- her skill with a knife was impressive, to say the least- but on the other hand she was very talented at keeping track of which members of the company were free, and would be best equipped to handle available contracts.

(https://i.imgur.com/G14UD52.png) She didn't seem thrilled to see them. "Grae. Claire." She gave a nod to Heledd as well, but obviously didn't know her name. "I assume you're here to pick up the sword?"

(https://i.imgur.com/ebLAHUI.png) Grae, on the other hand, seemed to have warmed slightly from his usual strict, business persona. "Not just that. I also need to pull some personal funds. Five thousand."

(https://i.imgur.com/G14UD52.png) Victoria sighed, and stood up. "You're lucky I have it on hand. You can wait here." She pulled a ring of keys off of a belt loop, unlocked a door behind her, and stepped through it.

(https://i.imgur.com/PPrrIBQ.png) "Hi, Victoria." Claire's greeting was quiet, lost quickly as Grae and Victoria moved on to business. She supposed it was good to see that Victoria was the same as she'd always been.

Familiarity was often comfortable to her, a safe place, the guildhouse in the same design as all the others. As the other woman busied herself in the backroom, Claire idly tapped her fingers against the counter, one by one, careful not to disturb the ledger.

(https://i.imgur.com/G14UD52.png) Victoria returned quickly, and set a sack of coins and a sword on the table. "I had to pay extra to get it brought from the Pinguo branch in time. I deducted the difference from your personal funds."

(https://i.imgur.com/ebLAHUI.png) "Thanks Victoria. You're the best, as always."

(https://i.imgur.com/G14UD52.png) "Oh stuff it." Victoria seemed particularly put out for whatever reason. In fact, this was the first time Claire had seen her and Grae interact. The administrator looked over at Heledd again. "So, who's this? The client?"

(https://i.imgur.com/ebLAHUI.png) Grae sighed. "No, she was assigned by the client. Along with a few others."

(https://i.imgur.com/64drjkn.png) Victoria recoiled ever so slightly. "That's unusual."

The shopkeeper frowned, and scratched at his large belly. "Strange how? Apart from tensions rising with the war heating up, nothing has been particularly unusual. My stock of salves is lower than I'd like, but I won't complain about selling out of product."

Heledd raised an eyebrow at the back-and-forth between the two. There was a history there, apparently. The laguz briefly considered nettling one or the other about it, but decided to leave that matter for later. She could amuse herself after errands were taken care of. For the moment, she contented herself with a questioning glance at Claire before wandering away from the counter aimlessly.

Claire shrugged almost imperceptibly - probably completely imperceptibly given her robes - but Heledd had already turned away regardless. She didn't know what was between the two either, and though she'd initially thought in some way it was nice because Victoria was acting a little more... human than she usually was, the atmosphere had gotten a little tense now.

(https://i.imgur.com/PPrrIBQ.png) "... Siege magic... I could handle that, but it's terribly advanced and I don't know if we need it... Iris and Clover could probably also use some of the other weapons if we let them know."

"I suppose I'll come along." There would be sights to see in the city, she supposed, even if she wasn't particularly fond of them. Street vendors sometimes had interesting things to eat, too.

Victoria let out a short, very bitter laugh in response to Heledd's comment.

She looked briefly at Grae, weighing the question she wanted to ask in her head, then fiddled with her robes and kept walking in relative silence.

(https://i.imgur.com/ebLAHUI.png) Grae frowned. "She's holding a grudge. Victoria and I used to be lovers. Nothing serious, at first anyway. But she wanted more than I was ready to give her, and in the end we stopped seeing each other outside of a professional setting. I haven't talked to her in person for two years. Honestly, I'd hoped that she'd have put it behind her since then."

The other main group didn't have much trouble finding the blacksmith, though they might have been somewhat surprised to see that the 'cats head' sign that they'd been told about was a carved and painted wooden head, with a lance piercing through the open jaw. The attendant at the blacksmith was a young man, probably 14 or so, likely the apprentice to the smith. He didn't engage the group in conversation, but stood with his back to the far wall, watching them, occasionally wiping soot from his face.

Claire was quiet before speaking, not uncharacteristically so.

(https://i.imgur.com/fqBmFlk.png) "... That's too bad."

Everyone took loss at their own pace, and even if it had been years she supposed what they'd seen had shown that Victoria still hadn't moved on. Despite Victoria's insinuation earlier, Claire... understood, in her own way. Even after all these years, now and then in the face of a Morcian guard, she would still see her father. Blink, and it was gone. Feelings lingered, and it wasn't easy to let things go; in her own case, she didn't want to.

Claire wandered the aisles of the shop, a tome in each hand, stopping to replace one or the other every now and then as she checked spines and covers with careful hands.

(https://i.imgur.com/rR2wsXe.png) "It's really amazing how much magic is in places as normal as this..."

(https://i.imgur.com/PPrrIBQ.png) "Hmm... I guess it's not exactly 'magic' depending on how you think of magic... since tomes are more ways to channel magic than anything, like a sword is a way to channel strength into a sharp object," Claire said almost absentmindedly as she considered a red-colored tome. "Even the basic Fire tome that a beginner can use can still be extremely effective in a master's hands..." These were the times she wished she had actually studied magic formally, or at least had asked someone like Iris for the theory.

Heledd rolled her eyes.
(https://i.imgur.com/6B6GEM1.png)"Does she expect you to travel with exclusively men?" She snorted after a moment. "Or maybe she'd be making the same sorts of accusations in that case, too." Heledd idly followed Claire as she perused the store, listening to her with one ear as she checked the shelves. She'd never held much interest in tomes, but maybe the girl would offer something to change that.
(https://i.imgur.com/6B6GEM1.png)"I suppose, but I still would never trust my life to something so. . . fragile." Of course, she wouldn't trust her life to a bit of pointed metal either, but there was something you could count on backing those, at least. She'd not met a single mage that was more threatening than a child after being separated from their tomes.

Grae approached the counter, behind which sat a very old man who was reading a very small book that he was holding up to his face. "I'm looking for primers for Anima magic. Do you carry that sort of thing?"

The old man didn't raise his eyes from the text he was reading. "Not from my store, no."

(https://i.imgur.com/ebLAHUI.png) "...But you have one?"

The man nodded. "My personal collection. I use light magics myself but I was interested in how the disciplines differ. I'm quite done with it for the moment. It's yours if you want it, Mr. Steelhart. No charge."

Milos said nothing about the sign. While he was afraid of cats like that... he didn't appreciate seeing such a gruesome display. He uncomfortably shifted a little bit after being patted, but tried to regain his composure quickly. He eyed the swords, looking a little bit confused as to what to get.

As soon as he passes through the gates and takes a few steps in, watching the others of the troupe peel off and go their own ways, Jupi stretches his wings out in the sunshine and his arms hiiiigh above his head.

(https://66.media.tumblr.com/93ab8a77a8b1fa8c4e22e3eda9f02699/tumblr_inline_pltbx4VJK51ttaoqp_1280.png) "Phew! All right then. Business like usual!"

His good mood shows in the slight puff of his feathers and the smile on his face as he heads further into the human city, humming to himself some tune from the mountain tops — his own rendition, of course. The original is much gloomier.

Reconnaissance isn't new for the young hawk, and over the years he's developed a penchant for blending right in. The key for him has always been mentality. As soon as he starts thinking about whether what he's doing is suspicious, he's going to act like it. The same goes for pretty much anyone. So it was best to just go with the flow! Stay lighthearted and friendly, stay himself, and don't be nosy. Let the natural rhythm of conversation guide his questions.

But first, before that, he had to find a conversation. Luckily, in a mercantile city as busy as this one, it was easy. And it helped that he was actually interested in the wares that were laid out in the stalls lining the street sides, placed in displays behind shop windows. His gaze drifted and lingered, keen and full of intrigue, on colorful human foods and trinkets, and he chatted with the shopkeepers where possible, always maintaining his upbeat tone, an easy laugh, and a picture of innocence.

(https://66.media.tumblr.com/dd3b87a725a56db70c53d036cbe95bcb/tumblr_inline_plt4epL3zT1ttaoqp_1280.png) "Yeah, that's right— I'm not from around here!" A ruffle of wings for emphasis. "What kind of places are around here, for a newcomer? Anywhere I should steer clear of?"

(https://66.media.tumblr.com/1c9660f2e33a5a2bec40e128e0f9c3d3/tumblr_inline_plt7ejkYaW1ttaoqp_1280.png) "That's too bad! I hope your cold gets better. Hey, you mentioned your son has a laguz friend, right? I don't see that a whole lot with the war going on! What's it like for laguz in this city?"

Collecting information, for him, has always been less about cutting right to the heart of what he wanted to know and more about building a picture from a lot of little pieces, like that old puzzle grandma used to work with him on when her aches weren't bothering her, even though it had been passed around so much that one could hardly make out the images anymore. Once he has an idea of the context, he can move onto another person and keep building from there. The hope was that, by picking out a clue here and an adjacent detail there, he wouldn't be leaving any one person with an odd impression.

With that step completed, he's onto part two: pretend he's on the side of the people he wants to know more about. Thankfully, he's always been a good actor.

(https://66.media.tumblr.com/353971cfad015edc3bafc7bacf779990/tumblr_inline_plt7i2H4fo1ttaoqp_1280.png) "Yeah, yeah! The cat laguz are just tearing this area apart! If it weren't for them, I'd still be home, too. Is anything being done about that? Anyone out there putting a stop to what those mange-balls are doing?"

The taverns are a good place for this, where people and the things they say are already transient and alcohol makes memories indistinct. Whether or not he's telling the truth doesn't matter as long as he sounds passionate. If he can find any inkling of information somewhere about cat laguz being trafficked through the area — or better yet, if he can pinpoint a braggart who wants to tell everybody so — then he'll be onto something.

Jupi had, by chance, first stopped in at the Cat's Head. While the people of the city were not, perhaps, as warm to him as he might have liked, badmouthing their neighbors to the south seemed to warm them to him pretty fast. Three men were talking with him at the moment, each with a tankard in hand. The first of them was a red faced man with only three fingers on his right hand. "The army sure as hell ain't doing it. One of the shifty bastards stole my deer after I went and shot it, fair and square, just last week. Not more than three hours south of the gate, but there he was, bold as brass. I could've taken him, o'course, but he ran when I took aim again."

The second was a skinny man with greasy hair and a bad hunch, and an amused smile on his face. "Jim you liar! I bet your knees were knockin' too hard to get a proper draw when the cat showed up!"

The third man was fat, jolly, and probably a few cups deeper than his fellows. "Har-har!"

"Well what's it matter anyway? Thieving little shit took my kill! They're savages, every last one, not a bit of basic etiquette in the lot. But if'n you get the drop on them instead of you, I hear tell you can catch em. Get em in a cage small enough they can't change, and you've got 'em bang to rights." Jim gesticulated wildly as he said his piece, slopping froth here and there.

"If you had 'em in a cage, what's it matter if they can't change shape?" The second man, who at some point had been introduced as Rodney, chuckled at his own joke.

"Har-har!"

"Oh stow it William, no one likes your horse laugh. Still, I hear someone has been bragging about catching Laguz that come over the border."

"That'd be the army then?"

"Hah! Those bastards haven't the first clue how to fight the Laguz, let alone catch 'em. I swear, the wet eared little shits you see at the checkpoints now would be laughed straight out of the barracks when I served my duty."

"Har-har!"

"So who's the brave man catching the rogue tigers coming over the wall?"

"Dunno. I heard it second hand, wouldn't be able to tell you whodunnit."

"Fat lot of good you are then."

"Har-har!"

"SHUT UP WILLIAM!"
"SHUT UP WILLIAM!"

Given how inhospitable as a whole this border city was to laguz, Jupi was pleasantly surprised to find that the people at the table hadn't started making excuses to leave or just given him the cold shoulder when he'd joined them. It was probably because they'd already had a few drinks, but he wasn't going to complain either way.

Keenly, he listens to the others discuss their disdain for the beast laguz, nodding when appropriate.

(https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/246475201531871233/525794501294424065/jupi_judgement_talk.png) "You wouldn't believe how shifty they can be," he adds in after Jim's story about the lost kill and Rodney's disbelieving comment. "I've seen 'em do worse, without a conscience in the world! They think they're the best, and everyone else can take a piss."

In truth, Jupi hasn't met that many feline laguz except those he'd encountered on his travels through their lands to take up work with the King, but there is that one in their newly-formed band that acts pretty pleased with himself all the time, so might as well fluff it up a little.

He tilts his head at the offhand mention of kidnapping going on at the border, following the conversation as Rodney asks more about it.

(https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/246475201531871233/525794500417683459/jupi_happy_talk.png) "Wait wait... there's someone catching them?" His eyes glitter with well-performed excitement and relief. "Have they caught anything big? Something to really put those furballs in their place? Aw man, who told you about this? Maybe I should try finding them and buy them a drink or something, maybe several."
Title: Re: Fire Emblem on Forums: Laguz Test Game IC
Post by: Blade Master Model 42 on April 01, 2019, 10:03:19 pm
Rodney waved dismissively. "Eh, Jim's probably just making shit up. If someone was catching 'em, I'd've heard about it. That's not something you keep to yourself. And besides, why would ya go to the trouble of catching one when you could just kill 'em then and there?"

"It's all rumors. But the rumors say they get thrown into fight pits. And then people bet on the fights, see if man or beast comes out on top."

"I heard that too."

"You did? How come I'm only hearing about it now?"

"Well, I heard tell about the fight pits, not about the Laguz."

"Well it ain't happening in the city. The guards'd never put up with it, and you can't come or go without them knowing about it. Not with a Laguz, anyhow."

Post by: Gaterhyme on April 02, 2019, 01:22:29 am
Claire flushed briefly. She hadn't forgotten that she was shopping with two others, but Heledd having replied to her about her ramblings about tomes was surprising, though not entirely unwelcome. She had only been speaking in the first place half to convince herself of what new tome to purchase, and half because she thought Grae might have gotten something useful out of it - that he had decided to seek out the shopkeeper to be proactive instead was something she should have expected of him.

(https://i.imgur.com/PPrrIBQ.png) "...Mm. They can be tougher than they look, even when dog-eared and weather-worn. And even steel rusts without good care."

(https://i.imgur.com/PPrrIBQ.png) "Besides," and she hesitated briefly but forged on, "I think there are times when it's better to be less dangerous."

She was keenly aware of what Heledd was, even hooded and speaking cordially and as someone to work together with. A laguz was a weapon - one that couldn't be separated from its owner, one that could be easily concealed at a distance. It was something that could make trust difficult.

Clover would enter the city on her own, a slight twinge of nervousness well hidden as she passed by the gates. It was unlikely that anyone here knew about her... indiscretions back in the capitol, and even if they did, they wouldn't know what she looked like, right?

Once inside, she'd begin to look around for a place where she could sell off this wooden ring she'd picked up. It was pretty, which meant it was worth something to the right buyer. She just needed to find that buyer. Maybe there was a market around here somewhere? Surely a port had to have some kind of marketplace. She'd begin looking around, walking the streets with confidence and a searching eye.

You could kill them on the spot, but you'd probably make more money putting up strong ones for betting in the pit." More status, too, if anything. A bunch of humans would be interested in something like that. A bunch of laguz, too.

He brings his own tankard to his lips, but doesn't actually let much of it go down. There's still a possibility this could be taking place in this very city — it's not impossible for the guards to be looking the other way, or for someone to have bribed them. But it is more likely that it's farther inland someplace. This place is still too close to the border for this kind of fight ring. If the laguz escaped, they'd have an easy time getting back to Sampia. He leans forward to the others conspiratorially, putting on a flushed, giddy look as if drink had loosened his inhibitions too.

Clover was able to find a jeweler in fairly short order. "This ring is made from polished wood. Quite simple, but competently done. I'd be willing to give you... Let's say 150 gold, if you're looking to sell it." His available wares were beautiful, but unenchanted, and therefore not of particular use. At least at the moment.

"They've got Royalty? I just kind of assumed they all just..." He gestured vaguely. "... You know."

"I figured they just had the strongest one be in charge or something. And they don't got generals, do they?"

"I never fought a battle where they seemed like one of em was calling the shots."

When Jupi asked the question of where they'd take a captive Laguz, the men stopped to consider the question. "Uuuuuuuuuuh dunno. Probably like... One of the nearer eastern settlements."

Jim nodded. "Yeah, yeah. It couldn't be somewhere too out of the way. You need people betting on the fights if you wanna make money."

"What's it matter anyway? You'd never catch one and you spend all your money here!"

"Har-har!"

Jupi laughs along with William at Jim's expense, taking another faked sip from his tankard. It's fairly clear that these men don't have anything else to offer on the subject, and if he wants to find the person who's doing these kidnappings, he's going to have to stick his beak elsewhere. But that probably isn't even necessary. He has a fair lead on where the princess could be.

He stays at the table for another little while as the conversation moves on, ordering them all another round of drinks on his tab to get on their good side. It's not entirely out of obligation — these men are nothing complex, but they're entertaining, and he doesn't mind spending another quarter-hour with them. Finally, though, he excuses himself to use the outhouse and staggers his way out of the bench and off through the collection of other tavern patrons. Once he's out of sight of the table, he casually changes direction and makes his way out of the establishment. It's unlikely that they'll notice he never came back; even if they do, it's fair to assume that he'd been tipsy enough to have forgotten and been waylaid by something else.

The air smells fresher when he steps outside again and the reek of alcohol and bodies packed together falls away. Cheerily, the jaunty tune from before back on his lips, he stretches his wings and lifts off the ground to find Grae.

If he recalls, he'd said something about the Guildhouse before they'd entered the city, but Jupi has no idea where that is, so he flies around until he spots the old mercenary and a couple others from the troupe at a tome shop.

Heledd raised an eyebrow. That hadn't been the response she'd been expecting, though evidently she'd hit closer to the mark than she'd intended with her joke. Sounded like he just couldn't win with his ex; that, on the other hand, was entirely expected.

(https://i.imgur.com/6B6GEM1.png)"Certainly, certainly. But there's equal value in someone knowing you're not at their mercy." Heledd's appearance was still relaxed and casual, but she watched Claire's reactions closely. Was the mage aware of Heledd's own specialty? Afraid of her, perhaps? That would make working together harder. . . but perhaps it was good for the girl to maintain a healthy respect.

At that point, the proprietor returned, carrying another smaller book. Tomes were a different beast, of course. Much larger, reinforced for battlefield handling and constructed from thicker, more rigid papers. "Well, in any case, here is your book, Mr. Steelhart. I hope it's what you were looking for."

(https://i.imgur.com/ebLAHUI.png) "Thanks. When I've finished with it, I'll return it to you." Grae accepted the offered book, and stowed it in one of his pouches. It was at that point that Jupi showed up, greeting the three. "Hello Jupi. Enjoying your time in the city?"

(https://i.imgur.com/PPrrIBQ.png) "They're not that dusty," Claire half-protested, the conversation with Heledd set aside for now with Grae's comment and Jupi's entrance. "Oh, right, something for Iris... something for Iris..."

Her gaze trailed over the bookshelves for a moment before she picked out a green tome almost identical to the worn one that she had been using for a while. With a small thump she stacked it with the Fire tome she'd been holding, and moved to the counter.

(https://i.imgur.com/ebLAHUI.png) As the money changed hands, Grae turned his attention back to the shopkeeper. "This may sound like an odd question, but have you heard any rumors about Laguz being captured? Within the last month."

The man frowned, and put a hand to his face, giving the question some thought. "Hmmmmm... No, nothing I can remember. Sometimes the lads talk about doing it, but I haven't heard any of them claiming they'd managed it." His concentration was broken as his gaze wandered over to Jupi, and the man flinched. "Er, Feline only. They don't talk about hunting Bird Laguz."

(https://i.imgur.com/ebLAHUI.png) Grae didn't seem too disappointed by the lack of information. "Thanks for everything. I'll send business your way." Once the group were out of the shop, Grae turned to Jupi. "We've acquired some other supplies but nothing so far in terms of our target. What about you?"

He gives his wings a flap and follows the puff of dust that it stirs up from the floorboards with his eyes to playfully prove a point, smiling at Claire. "Maybe I never did too much reading growing up, so all books are kinda dusty to me!"

He waits a few more moments, humming to himself and tapping the fronts of his feet alternatingly on the ground, before Grae gets back to him. Nodding, he beckons for the mercenary to come closer. "Top secret, you know~?"

Turning, he steps around to the outdoor corner of the shop where the noise of their surroundings will deter any potential eavesdroppers, and lowers his voice enough that the three should be the only ones to hear.

Milos fiddles with his hands a little bit as he leaves the shop once Aurelia did. Once she brought up getting something for him, he looked a little more positive, nodding his head upon the idea, helping her look for one of those shops.

Apart from some shops carrying light and airy clothes from out east in Geumho, there wasn't much available that was tailored to dancers. There was however, a few shops selling staves. The one that Aurelia and the others entered was attended by a young woman with bright red hair. "Helloooooo! Welcome to the store! Let me know if you have any questions." She seemed very cheerful.

It didn't take long for most of the group to file into the city, and before long it was just Alys and Kawri left behind. With no sign of where the others had went.
"U-Um..." Alys turned to her crow-like companion nervously. She had to work out a tiny bit of prejudice against Laguz after the stories about her mother, not to mention... The bird woman was just a bit imposing. "Kawri, was it? D-don't you Laguz have a, uh, superior sense of smell or something? I, uh, think we should find the others..."

Eventually, the group retires for the evening at the Steelhart Guildhouse. The common bedroom is crowded, of course, but it was readily available, and the risk of the Laguz of the group drawing negative attention was everpresent in the city at large. The next morning, the group received the last of the information they were looking for.

(https://i.imgur.com/G14UD52.png) Victoria and Grae were standing around a table with a map of Morcia laid across it in the early morning sunlight. "Based on what you told me last night, I was able to turn some things up. Orders for steel bars, suitable for construction or holding cells, recurring orders for healing staves, a high rate of cash flow... I'd say it's a likely proposition that the fight pit you're looking for is situated here." She pointed to an unlabeled point on the map, halfway between a small river village, Chille, and the border. "There's an old iron mine there. Small village as well, but it never recovered when the ore dried up."

(https://i.imgur.com/ebLAHUI.png) Grae's hands were splayed out on the table, and he nodded, eyes fixed on the point that Victoria had indicated. "Except the people have enough money to regularly buy shipments of healing staves and iron bars."

(https://i.imgur.com/G14UD52.png) Victoria nodded in response. "It's suspicious. Be careful. If they have Laguz there, they could be drugged up, or half starved, and you might have to fight your way through them."

(https://i.imgur.com/ebLAHUI.png) Grae grimaced, then straightened up, and let his hands fall to his sides. Grae's eyes moved over to Victoria. "Thanks for the intel. I'll make sure you get a cut once we're paid."

(https://i.imgur.com/G14UD52.png) Victoria didn't look up from the map to meet his gaze. "It was nothing. An hour of work and deduction. But do whatever you want."

(https://i.imgur.com/ebLAHUI.png) Grae watched Victoria for a long moment, then turned away, returning to the common bedroom of the guildhouse. "Alright, we've got a destination. Let's move. The longer we take, the more danger our target is in."

Clover acquires Jambiya!

Milos sat quietly throughout the meeting, trying to pay attention as best as he could. He did, however, get a little frozen up when the thought of drugged up, snarling, hungry beast Laguz entered his mind, closing in on him, their mouths frothing as they leaped for the-

Milos shook his head rapidly. He looked noticeably terrified, though he was trying to keep it together. Gulping, he got out of his seat and followed Grae.

"In fact, try to keep anyone we run into alive. We don't know how many questions we may have to ask, and if she's already dead, her captor might be worth something to King Himos.

She sighs, a bit saddened. She had a bad habit of assuming that healing staves could fix everything, and she never caught it before she said anything.
"Alright, that's fair..." she mumbled nervously. She had been doing this for a bit now, shouldn't she know better than that? She was actively nervous now, almost as much as Milos, but for a different reason.

Early mornings... jobs to do. These guildhouses felt like home. It was the first good night's sleep she'd had in weeks.

Claire resisted the urge to rub the sleep out of her eyes like a child, occupying her hands instead with flipping slowly through the pages of her newly purchased tome. Beneath her fingers she could almost feel the magic stored within, the embers ready to be fanned into flame. Not unfamiliar, yet not the element she was most comfortable with. She tore her attention away from the tome to give Alys a small smile that vanished almost as quickly as it came.

Alys says with a more lingering smile. "I guess I'm just nervous, since sometimes, well..." her voice drops a bit in volume for the next bit, and her smile falters. "I feel like I can't do anything that really helps. I can heal, but Vulneraries and Herbs work too... And I can't fight, so ultimately I just stay back, then sprint through the... Bodies."

They hadn't used any vulneraries in that fight - there hadn't been time between the laguz rushing them and their own attacks to drive them back. "But I... get how it is to feel that way sometimes."

She wasn't sure what else to say, especially since this was a bit too public for anything approaching a heart-to-heart. What she'd said was genuine, and maybe that was enough; for now, Claire went back to checking that she had everything she needed ready to head out.

Aya sighs. It's not as if she didn't know what (seriously) fighting other Laguz was like; there were some pretty ornery bastards out there in the wild. It was still rather awkward when you were hoping for a mate to travel a little while with and instead that guy wanted to rip your throat out and take your stuff, so you had to beat the crap out of him and leave him alone before he went after you again. Beast snatchers were also something she wasn't unfamiliar with.

Of course, granted, when you'd lived among humans as long as Aya had, it wasn't exactly difficult to outwit a bunch of dimwits who thought catching a wolf that thought exactly like you was going to be easy coin. All things considered, opposing Laguz were more or less a minor inconvenience considering the stuff Aya had seen. Beast snatchers, on the other hand, were people she'd be happy to smack around a little bit.

The trip out of the city was just as uneventful as the trip in, as the morning shift of guards were quick to wave the group through the city gates alongside other people leaving Cuue. The trip out to the mine eventually grew lonely, as roads forked, and wagons and riders stopped passing by the group. But even the road leading to the old mine was more well kept and easily walked than the paths of Sampia, and Grae, at least, was quite happy for that.

Three days passed before the group came face to face with the entrance to the mines. The mining town proper lay beyond the rocky hills in which the mine was set, and the group had not spotted anyone apart from themselves in the past day. Quietly, making sure not to stay in the open long, the group quickly entered the hills.

~Player Phase 1~

(https://i.imgur.com/ebLAHUI.png) The inside of the mines were quiet, though after two sharp curves in the hall and another thirty feet, the group was met with lit torches. Grae spoke in almost a whisper, but each of the group could hear him in the near silence. "Just as we thought. Someone is here. Take it slow. Stick together. Subdue where possible. Let's get moving."

It was weird, having a brand new Heal Staff on her back while she held her old one still. This one had subtle indents where hands always held, the new one was solid. But that one was also smooth stone, rather than old, splintering wood. The ways that different versions of the same Staff differed baffled her.

She avoided looking too closely at the several bodies that were actually just corpses now, though she couldn't feel too badly about it given what they had been doing. Laguz could be dangerous... but this wasn't related to that, really. It wasn't right to confine anyone for others' entertainment.

As Vanessa and Jupi dropped the man with arrow and talon, Claire had a brief urge to catch him and lower him to the floor - but the feeling passed soon enough, especially given what these people had likely done. She stepped gingerly over the unconscious bodies, following the others.

Aurelia wasn't exactly able to talk in bird form, but Clover could probably figure out what she meant when she landed and nudged her pack - she was a bit loaded down, did she need her to take anything?

R4, grab tonic and vuln.

Clover would look a touch worried as she pulled out the tonic to hand to Aurelia for safekeeping... for now.

Clover moves to N3, lockpicks the chest, then Footpads to O3.

Clover inserted her pick into the lock on the chest, and quickly realized that it wasn't actually locked. She flipped up the lid to reveal...

Nothing. It was empty. She moved to the other chest and checked it as well. Unlocked... But also empty.

Well, at least she hadn't bent her lockpicks at all.

Not to mention, deep down... he knew that the Laguz probably weren't far off, and he did not want to be around to see them. Awkwardly moving away just a tad from the scene, he went to Aurelia.

(https://i.imgur.com/MVW0Yfo.png) "A... are you okay, Aurelia? That... looked like it hurt... a lot."

(https://i.imgur.com/pHnzpHP.png)"I'm fine. It hurt, but well, healing magic." She was actually still a bit burnt from the blasts of magic - but Alys seemed busy tending others and the prisoners, and she didn't want to disturb her work.

Heledd, rather than reverting to humanoid form, elected to communicate her intent by pouncing forward at Satana, landing barely an inch away from his face with teeth bared and a deep growl rising from her throat.

Claire blinked, not sure what to make of her temporary nickname, before deciding in the next moment she was probably looking too much into it.

(https://i.imgur.com/PPrrIBQ.png) "Mm," she elected to say in response, while her left hand played absentmindedly with a lock of her hair.

(https://i.imgur.com/ebLAHUI.png) Grae kept his eyes on Satana, but responded to Joachim. "There's enough left to interrogate. I'm not too concerned about it." Grae used his free hand to strike the man in the face. "You're going to tell me where someone is. Cat Laguz. Pink hair. Red eyes. A young woman blossoming into adulthood. Seen her?"

"I'm not telling you shit." Satana's defiance didn't extend to reaching for the tome outside his grasp, or even to raising his hands. It was possible he was too weak to do so.

(https://i.imgur.com/ebLAHUI.png) "Heledd. Tear his left arm off. Slowly."

"No no wait! I'll talk, I'll talk!"

Claire et all: Further down the mine, the group found a sunken pit, with room around for people to stand and watch. It was maybe 30 feet in diameter, and twenty feet deep into the ground. The stone was stained with dark brown splotches here and there, and the pit reeked of gore and waste. Within the pit, they found a tunnel leading to a holding area with cells covered in bars.

Every single one was empty.

(https://i.imgur.com/cBb8RbO.png) "I... I'm doing fine. I didn't get to do much fighting, but as long as I helped out, that's all I can really ask for... b-but, um..."

Heledd gave the man another growl for good measure, before getting back on her two feet.

Aurelia pat Milos on the shoulder. She'd have pat him on the head like Grae did but given their comparative heights it'd be a bit weird.

Heledd only took a brief moment to glance at Grae in shared frustration before returning her attention to their prisoner.

"Nothing! I told you, we went out to get more supplies, and when we got back everyone else was dead and the Laguz were gone! We never had any competitors and the army never cared if they knew. But we get back and there's guts all over the shaft and all the cells are empty, and all you can see is a column of horses kicking up dirt headed north."

"I think so. Wasn't the Morcian flag though. I didn't recognize it. Some nobby bastard, probably."

"No, please!" Satana reached for Grae as much as he could, which wasn't much. "Almost all of us are dead and we were already robbed blind by the last guys. Have a heart..."

Milos let out a little mouse-like squeak when he felt Aurelia pat his shoulder. Contact wasn't exactly something Milos was used to, but around Aurelia, it felt kind of... nice, honestly. Especially considering the most contact he's experienced was with people he was... pretty terrified of. Her words of comfort were just the cherry on the cake.

(https://i.imgur.com/S8AMzEe.png) "Y... you really think so...?"

Quite shy and unaware that he had a brief, slight blush as she pat him, he smiled at Aurelia.

(https://i.imgur.com/0E5qvXk.png) "Thank you... that... that really means a lot to me to hear. I don't hear much about if I'm making progress or not, so it's... good to know that I am in the eyes of someone..."

Joachim stared hard at the cowering slaver. There was so much he wanted to say to make the man understand what he was feeling right now... but what would words change, in the end? Satana had already committed his crimes. All that was left was the punishment, and the laguz was in no mood to be a merciful executioner. As soon as Heledd left, only the echoes of snarling and screams followed her.

With an intrigued, intent expression, Jupi takes a careful look around, circling the pit and examining the dark stains, the wear of the stone. Reconnaissance is his bread and butter; he wonders if the Boss Man knew that, or if the Sampian King knew it when he'd asked for him. Committing what he sees to memory, he swoops down the tunnel to the bars. These, if possible, smell even fouler than the pit does, but not even a scrap of fur remains to identify who might have been here.

Aya spends a fair bit of time investigating, poking around and prodding the cages, as if this would change the reality that she was facing. She groans; after all that, nothing. She wasn't a fighting sort, but damn if this wasn't frustrating.

She stalks irritably, following not far behind Jupi.

Kawri watched Aurelia and Milos, and let out a quiet caw of amusement.

Kawri's joining in with Milos and Aurelia's conversation brought attention to him his reddened cheeks, causing him to look away and try to hide his face.

(https://i.imgur.com/cBb8RbO.png) "Th-thank you, b-but it's not-"

Of course, any sense of progress that Milos was showing seemed to wash away almost immediately the second Milos could hear the snarls. And the screams. Immediately, Milos was thrown into a state of paralyzing panic, immediately ducking onto the floor, covering his head and freaking out immensely without any thought as to him being watched.

(https://i.imgur.com/iugs1Bh.png) "N-no, please, no, st-stay a-away from me, I-I didn't m-mean to do anything to you, p-please leave me alone...!"

It didn't even seem to occur to him that Joachim wasn't even that close to him... or even that it was Joachim in the first place.

Claire hadn't minded when she'd noticed that Aya had come along too, but now with Kawri arriving with new information about some horsemen, it was definitely time to get back.

(https://i.imgur.com/PPrrIBQ.png) "Let's report back to Grae, then... if that's what he got out of the interrogation, then that's what we'll probably have to follow up on."

Of course, when they arrived back, there was a bit of a scene going on. She was conflicted for a moment, then crossed quickly over to Grae.

(https://i.imgur.com/PPrrIBQ.png) "... We found the fighting pit and empty cells. Nothing else... I guess you already found out who took them?"

With that said, she moved over to Milos, giving a somewhat questioning look at Aurelia - almost as if she were asking for permission - before kneeling at his side.

His panic subsided upon feeling Claire and Aurelia's presences near him, and Aurelia's subsequent words. His panicked words turned to whimpers, as his eyes just remained a little bit teary. He tried to take a few deep breaths. Looking to Claire and Aurelia, he whispered a quiet "S-sorry..." before wiping his eyes and trying to cover his ears while attempting to stand up. He stayed rather close to the two of them until the noises calmed down.

Post by: Blade Master Model 42 on July 10, 2019, 06:34:25 pm
The long trip back to Cuue afforded the group time to think over their next move. The princess had been at the fight ring, and had been alive when she was seen last. There was no indication that any of the prisoners had been killed in their cells, so it was a near certainty that they were taken alive. What a noble of Morcia might intend to do with Laguz prisoners was not likely to be good, particularly if they understood. But "North" was barely information, and the group was mounted. Trying to give chase would be foolhardy. That was why they were headed back.

A few days later, the group was waved through the gates by the city guard, bored and inattentive as ever. At Grae's insistence, they went directly to the guildhouse.

(https://i.imgur.com/G14UD52.png) "...What a mess. At least we have something to go on." Victoria had listened attentively through Grae's explanation of the battle in the mine, and the resulting nothing. "There's a villa that belongs to the royal family, about two days north of that town. They allow members of the nobility to use it when they don't, from time to time. And while there hasn't been any official word of it being used, I've heard that there is someone occupying it. Has been, for about a week, according to my intelligence."

(https://i.imgur.com/ebLAHUI.png) "So some noble is working from the villa, but keeping it under wraps. Suspicious."

(https://i.imgur.com/G14UD52.png) Victoria passed a letter to Alys, nodding at Grae. "No guarantee that that's our man, but its definitely sketchy, and unless you're holding out on me, there's no other leads."

(https://i.imgur.com/ebLAHUI.png) "Wouldn't dream of it." Victoria opened her mouth to say something, but Grae cut her off. "Don't start. Look, I want you to arrange for a fast wagon for the morning. And send someone, tonight, from the guild with a pair of horses we can swap out on the road. I don't know how patient Himos is and I don't intend to test his limits."

(https://i.imgur.com/G14UD52.png) Victoria sighed. "I'll get it done. Going to have to pull some strings, but I'll make it happen." Just then, Alys pulled Grae aside, and after a hurried explanation, ran out the door by herself.

(https://i.imgur.com/ebLAHUI.png) Grae approached Victoria's counter again, pinching the bridge of his nose. "I need you to find me another healer by tomorrow. Alys's sister is sick, and her condition just got worse."

(https://i.imgur.com/G14UD52.png) "You're seriously busting my balls here Grae."

(https://i.imgur.com/ebLAHUI.png) "Yeah, I know. You're getting a cut of the job after we're paid."

Joachim paced back and forth impatiently. He knew things had a certain order and he had to obey Grae for the time being, but he wanted to be out there. He hadn't realized the human lands could be this bad... and what if these people were even worse than the ones who had initially kidnapped the princess? Who knew what they could be doing to the prisoners they'd 'rescued' for their own sick, twisted amusement? Yes, he had toyed with bird laguz encroaching the borders of Sampia before, but he'd never seriously hurt them; just roughed them up a little and sent them packing. Never... this. After awhile of listening to the clock tick, he slammed the side of his fist against the wall.

(https://www.dropbox.com/s/gvyunr2ei1u4ryv/EyesClosed.png?raw=1) "I... Ugh..."

He wanted to take a walk to clear his head, but he couldn't even do that. Cat laguz weren't exactly welcome in this city. He instead put his back to the wall and slid down into a sitting position, his ears drooped low.

Aya, for her part, while bothered by this, wasn't unused to hearing stories like this. She'd seen it a few times; not like she hadn't gotten involved in bailing a few people out before in the course of her travels, but then she didn't exactly make a career out of it. Humans were perfectly willing to kidnap and torture each other for fun; it wasn't like Laguz were immune to this sort of thing.

Still, Aya was bothered by it nonetheless. It was times like this she wished she had people around to talk with, on the long lonely roads, late at night.

Milos... honestly could not relax. As long as everyone was heading into town, Milos decided to as well, trying to keep his distance from the crowd. He couldn't stop beating himself up for his brief period of fear at Joachim's ripping and tearing... how dare he say he was making progress and then cower like a baby when one of his teammates was just trying to deliver justice? And right in front of his trusted teammates, too...

He had figured a brisk walk would help take his mind off of everything going on. He tried not to make eye contact with anyone, try not to feel so small in a crowd of bigger people... but his walk left him to his own thoughts. His thoughts started small, repeating quiet, yet effective negative words in his head. Weak... Child... Useless... He whispered to himself to stop it. He took a deep breath... and exhaled. But Milos' thoughts began to grow harsher, stronger... before long, he kept replaying his sudden fear, his show of weakness in front of everyone, his tears, the screams, the growls, oh god the growls, I don't want to die, please don't hurt me... and then echoed among them were the mocking words... mocking words of others that he wouldn't have to hear if he wasn't so weak...

"You will explain why you have brought a whimpering child into my presence. Do you seek to insult me in my time of need, human?"

whimpering child

The sheer overwhelming nature of his emotions were just almost too much to bear, and he almost broke down crying right in front of the crowd of people as he sped up his pace, as if trying to outrun something that just kept keeping up with him. As he whispered 'leave me alone, leave me alone' under his breath, he quickened, before turning into an alleyway. He dove into a niche in the walls, obstructing himself from view, then huddled there by himself, trying not to be discovered by anyone. He buried his face into his knees.

(https://i.imgur.com/MVW0Yfo.png) "S-stop it... I-I'm not a kid... I-I just have... a-a problem... I-I'm trying... to fix it..."

Before long, he almost lost it, letting out meek sniffles and tears as he thought of how powerless he was. How useless he was, how he couldn't even stop being scared of his own teammate, how he was letting himself be such a big baby in front of everyone. He just wanted it to stop. He didn't want to be afraid and yet he just was afraid.

And he hated every second of it.

Heledd, meanwhile, was lounging about in the guild hall and looking increasingly irritable. It was the last night in town, which meant both good and bad. Good, because she could finally get out of this dog-infested stinkhole, but bad because despite it being a stinkhole, the town no doubt had a variety of foods for her to try. Foods that were denied to her, as she couldn't simply leave the guildhall whenever she pleased lest someone raise a fuss.

Speaking of fuss, her ears flicked irritably at Joachim's outburst, causing her to pop up from her repose for a moment and glare at him before laying back down.

Milos' weeping started to slow to a crawl as he looked Vanessa in the eye, no matter how difficult it seemed to be, though his face was still rather stained with wet tears, with his face still worried and scared.

(https://i.imgur.com/MVW0Yfo.png) "I... I guess you're right... b-but I... I just wish I... wasn't scared, you know...? I... I have no reason to be scared... th-they're just like me, just with extra features and a different ability... I-I don't know why... I'm so scared of them..."

Sell Wooden Ring.

Claire had set out into town alone, meaning for it to be a quick errand. But after pawning the ring that they had picked up somewhere along the line - she couldn't help but seem to remember that it was from one of the Morcian border guards who had died because they had happened to be in the way - she found herself wandering, wrapped up in her thoughts.

About Milos, and Alys' sister, and the laguz...

She hated being alone. But because she was alone, because she didn't think anyone who cared was watching, she allowed herself that little time to worry, even about the things that were out of her control. Then, she let her steps trace themselves back towards home.

Milos shivers a little as the rest of his sadness tries to sort itself out, and Vanessa's hand offered him a chance to try and get out of this funk he stuck himself in. Taking a deep breath, Milos reached out and gently grabbed her hand, raising himself up.

The day turned into night, but the group did not wait until sunrise before making final preparations to leave. Fortunately, Victoria was able to find a healer for the mission- Godric Osmond- as well as arrange for a cart. In short order, the group was rolling out from the city gates, the cart filled to bursting with almost every member of the group aboard. As they rolled and bounced down the rough road at high speed, Grae gave the last of the details to the newest member of the band.

He'd taken the opportunity during the brief downtime to straighten himself out after the skirmish in the mine's tight corridors. That kind of enclosed, underground space just wasn't meant for birds, with no air to give him lift or stretch his wings. And all the dust from the stone and wood... it'd taken the better part of the evening just to preen that out of his flight feathers and realign them.

But now that they were on the open road again, he feels much better. And onto the next leg of their adventure! Going to investigate a noble human's villa sounds like great fun, and just like the kind of stuff he's used to. He's in high spirits, and it shows in the way he lazily draws loops in the air, soaring above the cart as it mosies on down below at a ground-bound crawl.

And then, on a whim, he swoops low and tags Aurelia's arm, whooshing past her a moment later with a merry laugh.

Though Milos managed to cheer up thanks to Vanessa, he still kept himself quite awake at night thinking about everything... and crying just a little bit. He tried not to cry too much, but crying a little bit was inevitable... this backfired unfortunately and caused him to have a small case of frog eyes that morning, as well as having slight bags under his eyes. Milos as a result tried to keep his distance, his already low self-esteem plummeting even further at how tired and distressed he must have looked. He just wanted to go and get this mission done.

...Trying not to think about himself or yesterday's incidents, he instead simply just tried to watch Jupi and Aurelia, stealing the occasional glance but trying to look away and not get caught staring by either of them.

Aurelia, rather than ride in the cart, flew near it - it was cramped enough without the people who could keep up on their own adding to that. She was sort of spaced out, thinking about the job and what was coming next, and letting her body kinda go on autopilot in regards to flying. She was snapped out of this when she felt a tap on her arm-

(https://i.imgur.com/6lwqgFM.png)"W-Wait, what-" she started, before Jupi whooshed past her and said - "You're it"? Tag? She hadn't played that since she was a kid... well, why not? He seemed to be having fun, and she hadn't played it with someone else who could fly. She needed the practice.

(https://i.imgur.com/wmMPI5j.png)"Hey, get back here!" she said, as she picked up speed to try and pursue him.

Looping around, Jupi climbs the buoyant air to higher heights, letting the particular freshness of the pre-morning sky buffet at his clothing and feathers. Nothing beat this; the only thing missing was the endless expanse of the mountains and the wild rivers running beneath.

(https://i.imgur.com/0BOro7F.png)"I've been practicing for a while!" Aurelia said as she kept on flying after him - she was slowly catching up, trying to make use of her lesser weight to help her catch up in the climb. This was more free-flying than she was used to - she usually stuck closer to the ground, to make sure she didn't lose track of the roads, if she wasn't just walking. She was getting close - not quite in reach yet though.

(https://i.imgur.com/wmMPI5j.png)"I think you're still better at it than me though, heh." It felt nice to fly like this, to feel the air on her wings and face... it wasn't something she did often, but maybe she should do it more.

Which isn't entirely true, but his cheerful demeanor and peppy tone belie that. As Aurelia closes the gap between them, he waits until she's almost on his proverbial tail feathers, then hangs a hard left and swerves off out of reach.

Aurelia manages to keep up, barely, following him just out of reach - she had an idea, though, and started climbing in height a bit at the same time.

(https://i.imgur.com/pAToYmI.png)"I'm more used to walking... I can hardly imagine flying everywhere like this!" she continued, until she was a good bit above and behind Jupi - and then she dived, using gravity to help her pick up speed and hopefully manage to tag him.

Two days of hard riding stretched on, with only a few short rests for the group to relieve themselves, and notably once to change the horses drawing the cart. With nothing to do but tag for the birds and herbal recreation for those on the cart, the conversation eventually withered. They rode through the night, and into the next day. They stopped a few hours after sunrise, the horses panting and gasping as the group climbed down from the cart. Grae stretched mightily, wincing.

We don't know who's in charge at the villa. That said, let's try not to kill everyone. Whoever it is, they may have some serious political clout, and I'd rather not get the guild shut out of the country if I can help it. Be careful." A short while later, the group was approaching the complex.

The ride hadn't been comfortable and she had little to say or do, but at the same time she was always happy to stay close to the others.

~Enemy Phase 1~

Spotting the group approaching from the other end of the complex, one of the soldiers on duty turns to his superior officer. "Sir! There's a medium size group, armed and attacking the villa! I think I even spotted a war dancer!"

"Yeah, I saw too. Raise the alarm. Let's try to drive them away without killing them. We're trying to keep things quiet here, we don't need any local officials sniffing around and asking questions."

"Aye sir." The soldier dutifully raised his horn and blew out three short blasts- the signal that they were under attack. Then, he gave two longer blasts.

After a short ruckus, the doors of the southern buildings flew open. The western building was a stable, and mounted knights were preparing to ride forth. "Drive them off! Blunt em if you can!"

The door to the western building opened as well, revealing a servant's quarters hastily converted to a barracks, and a large number of flatfooted mages. "Forward men! Push back the- what? Laguz? Why are they here?"

Enemy stats have been updated!

As Milos moved forward, he took notice of the new man taking the place of Alys, being a mounted healer rather than one on foot. He didn't really notice him before, he must have been too preoccupied with looking outside... it was a little embarrassing, but he knew there were way more important matters, notably seeing Grae and Kawri get hurt. He had to take action somehow...!

Claire winced as dark magic tore into her, only for her attention to be drawn entirely by the horsemen charging in. On some level she knew she ought to be terrified, and on some level she definitely was, of the trampling hooves, of the weight of the horses and men coming directly at them - but now wasn't the time. She had been at this long enough to know better than to let her instincts get in the way when it came to battle.

Grae was right in the middle of them, Milos moving in to help, Joachim waylaying a rider right in front of her. She swapped her tome and let fire flicker on her fingertips for only a moment before hurling the flames in front of her.

As the horsemen rushed in, Clover would rush forward as well, dodging in between them as she'd rush the one in the back, aiming to catch him off guard with her dagger before he could properly defend himself.

Clover moves to D19 and goes critfishing with her Jambiya on Outrider D.

At the same time, the enemies in the bunkhouse had their tomes prepared for magical dueling. The one in front slumped back, an arrow jutting out of his chest- it was in his lung, but he could possibly be saved. His ally behind him caught him and turned his momentum to rest him against the wall. "Hold on tight Simon, we'll get you a healer!" Light danced around the man's fingers, and motes of energy launched out at Iris.

Sensing an opportunity for a bit of petty larceny, Clover would rush towards the left of the building she was in front of, hugging the wall and bursting out in front of the mounted soldier to the side of it. She'd reach out and snatch his tonic before beginning to dance away on nimble feet.

With the last of the (current) enemies defeated, Aurelia moved ahead a bit and untransformed, breathing heavily from exertion. She had been in her animal form, and very active in it, for a good bit.

"Not... much more... I think." she said between shaky breaths.

O4, untransform.

(https://i.imgur.com/ebLAHUI.png) Grae stepped past the limp forms of the soldiers, blade still out. "Someone make sure they aren't bleeding out. Something smells here and I'm getting answers one way or another." At the end of the hall, Grae found a door. He tentatively pushed it inward with his boot and a blade flashed out at him.

(https://i.imgur.com/a0LIAxr.png) "Stay back, villain! I may not know what you want with this girl, but you shall never have her!" Just beyond the doorway, a gleaming silver blade was held high in the steady hands of a young man. And behind him, a small young woman, seeming even smaller from her defensive posture behind the man.

(https://i.imgur.com/opesEr2.png) Grae locked eyes with the young man beyond the threshold for a moment, then stepped back, lowering his own blade. "Damn everything. Your highness, do you know who it is you stand with?"

Aurelia was relieved for the battle to be over, shifting out of bird form and following Grae to the door in case he needed backup. Which for a second, it looked like he might - but then he put down the blade.

(https://i.imgur.com/SxKKqv5.png)"Uh, mister Steelhart, sir, do you know who this guy is?" she asked. The girl seemed to be the princess, given the address. Something was really off though. "Villain?

Heledd padded up in her animal form, making sure to brush past Milos as she did so, before she caught the same scent Aurelia did.

Both the princess and the man in front of her flushed. The princess turned a very impressive red, while his remained subtle. But still noticeable.

(https://i.imgur.com/ebLAHUI.png) "Ladies, gentlemen. This is his Royal Highness Wolfgang Gault. Heir to the throne of Morcia." He turned his gaze on the princess, who shrunk away from it immediately. "And you would be the princess Ella. You're very far from home."

Aya just lifts an eyebrow at Aurelia as she joins the rest of the party in the room.

The situation was not a little bit amusing. If a little weird. And Aya was pretty damn sure she'd seen this before; it was these two feuding villages back home. Of course, the prince and princess of two different nations was a little bit of a far cry, but same principle.

When it was all over, Milos looked more than a little bit relieved. Any moment to just rest and not worry about fighting people was cherished by the young man. He came in to expect just the princess, but... seeing two of them perplexed Milos more than a little bit. As he tried to rack his brains as to what was going on, as well as not pay attention to Ella's little ears, Heledd brushed past him in beast form, making him let out a little 'eep' of fear.

After his brief, mousy noise and his moment of shock, he just stood there looking just a little bit annoyed.

(https://i.imgur.com/ggQu1ZT.png) "..."

He could tell that they were doing it on purpose, now. But maybe his fear would just be replaced by annoyance, and then he wouldn't have to worry so much?... Maybe they were helping him all along to get over his fear, knowing how anxious he was about this whole mission since the very beginning with that meeting with the big, scary King.

...or they really did just want to tease him until he lost all semblance of fear, or died.

Regardless, Milos didn't really have much of an understanding of politics, nor Laguz politics in general, and didn't even read too deeply into Aurelia's comment about their scents. He just backed off a little bit when Joachim made threats; he really did not want to hear more sounds of mauling.

Ella's ears drooped as she began to more fully understand the situation. "Daddy sent mercenaries for me? I must have worried him terribly."

Wolfgang swept his sword back and forth at various members of Grae's crew. "I will not allow you to take her! Princess Ella is in my protection and I'll allow no one to lay a hand on her!"

"Look, everyone just calm the hell down. Your highness, lower your sword. No one is interested in harming your lover. Aya, Joachim, if there are any survivors from that group of slavers, they aren't enough to threaten the crown. And between our efforts and his, I think we got most of them, if not all. But one way or another, Princess Ella must return to Sampia. I'm not budging on that point."

It seemed negotiations were over and things were settled for now.

She had half a mind to check on the rescued laguz instead after what she had seen in that cave, but no doubt Joachim and the other laguz would have a more personal interest in the matter. She would only be in the way.

With that thought in mind, she gathered her robes and made to leave, though not before trying to catch Grae's eye for a moment.

Prince Wolfgang and Princess Ella made their way toward the injured soldiers, quickly setting them on their feet with a satchel of medicine and fresh orders. None of the soldiers approach the mercenaries.

Claire slowed down for a moment, almost as if to let Grae leave once the question was answered, but then matched her pace back to his.

One of the nearby soldiers who had already been treated looked over at Joachim's question. "...The prince said you had access. Follow the hall you came in, but take the path all the way back. Stairs are on the right. While you're down there, let them know we'll be escorting them back to their homeland tomorrow morning."

Post by: Blade Master Model 42 on January 05, 2020, 11:57:06 am
The soldier grumbled a bit to himself, but offered nothing else as Joachim left.

The Laguz passed by several soldiers on his way, and none of them spoke to him. The way was just as described to him, and on opening the door into the basement, the familiar scent of a group of Laguz met Joachim's nose. There was a sudden stillness as he stepped into the room, followed by a cacophony of voices.

"That's a Laguz!"

"Hey, why's he out there if we're in here?"

"What's going on? Did you guys get beat?"

"Let me out of here already!"

"Hey, we're hungry in here!"

There were... probably about 15 Laguz of varying size and weight, most of them riddled with old scars (though no bandages or fresh wounds in sight). They were standing in what appeared to be a pair of spacious, hastily erected cells. Heaps of gnawed bones were in the corners of both cells.

There was one soldier sitting just out of arms reach of the cells, and he tore off his helmet and threw it to the ground, frustrated with the flood of voices. "Would you all shut up? The hunters will be back when they get back! I don't know what's keeping them, alright?"

One of the Laguz in front, a small, angry looking young man with black hair and a sleek black tail, pressed his face up through a gap in the bars. "If you'd let us go out and hunt, we'd already be back. And we wouldn't be so rowdy."

The guard pulled at his face. "How many times do I have to tell you? You are not permitted to wander freely, even to hunt! If any of you are spotted and reported, the war is going to escalate!"

A much larger tiger Laguz toward the back of one of the cells shouted out. "Who cares? We'll fight a war with humans any time, and win!"

The soldier sputtered for a few moments, and pointed an accusatory finger at the entire group. "You couldn't beat off a pack of slavers, you can't expect to roll over us in a war!"

The general din quieted some, replaced with indignant excuses.

The short one in the front nodded. "The King sent for his daughter then? That's pretty lucky, she's been playing lovebirds with the Prince long enough. I wanna get out of here already."

The shouting returned in force as the others joined in.

"Tomorrow? Why do we have to wait?"

"Yahoo!"

"Who cares? When do we eat?"

"Let me out of here!"

The guard rubbed his free hand over his face, and looked pleadingly at Joachim. "Can you please get them to shut up? My skull is pounding so hard I can't think."

(https://www.dropbox.com/s/jadf0roel3kmpr3/Neutral.png?raw=1) (https://pastebin.com/nq5MhwLH) "I don't like it anymorrre than you do."

He then turned to the guard.

(https://www.dropbox.com/s/jadf0roel3kmpr3/Neutral.png?raw=1) (https://pastebin.com/nq5MhwLH) "I'll do it forrr them, not forrr you."

Joachim padded out, dropping into full cat form as he rounded the top of the steps. He'd have to work hard for those poor Laguz; there was no chance he could let them out without repercussions for Grae's group, and he liked the old man well enough that he didn't want to cause more trouble for him than he had to. This was just the compromise he'd have to live with.

Aurelia, seeing as the important conversation seemed to have wound down, quietly extricated herself from the room. She was... rather embarrassed about the comments she'd made without realizing the implications. She didn't have any specific things to be doing - besides maybe helping drag the wounded into a line to give the healers easy access, but then that was mostly done by now too - so she kinda just wandered the hall, thinking over what had happened and trying to process the new information that she was apparently a bit part in some overly dramatic romance play.

As Joachim rounded the top of the stairs, he nearly bumped into Aurelia. Well. She might not be his kind of a Laguz, but she was still one regardless, so he rubbed a shoulder against her leg companionably on his way by. After a few steps, though, he stopped, turned, and resumed his normal form.

Milos was more than happy to get out of that fort; it was getting cramped and stuffy, and even though he felt though he was getting used to his fears just a tiny bit... he still wanted to get some time to breathe to himself. He was thankful when they all went their separate ways as long as they stayed around the fort, and Milos made it a point to hide behind one of the buildings, where the sun wasn't in his eyes. There, he lay back against the wall, before slumping onto the ground and laying in the grass, his hands being a makeshift pillow. He quietly watched a few ants running across the ground, silently admiring the way they all worked together without any sort of fear... because every one of their nest looked the same, minus some having wings, some having stronger bites...

A sigh. Milos decided to stop watching the ants and just let them be. He thought instead to the days events... what exactly was going on with the princess and that prince? Milos tried not to pay too much attention, lest he wanted to have a panic attack in front of royalty that could easily tear him limb from limb, but...

He thought about what he had heard from the others. Suddenly, a picture formed in Milos' mind, one he decided to try and get out of his mind as quickly as possible.

There were some shouts of protest from the recovering soldiers as Joachim broke away from the facility, but no one seemed ready to place themselves in his way. Aurelia's flight is even simpler, given that none of the forces under the command of the prince are capable of flight.

Joachim looked overhead to see if Aurelia was following, not paying any attention whatsoever to the guards. Once he saw her, he flicked his tail to indicate he knew where she was and then dove into the bushes. He stalked through the underbrush, patiently sniffing out the trails of the larger game and occasionally looking up to see if Aurelia was pointing out anything from her vantage point.
Title: Re: Fire Emblem on Forums: Laguz Test Game IC
Post by: Twinwolf on January 05, 2020, 03:10:47 pm
Aurelia heard the voices, but she was already far enough away they were indistinct. Well, if it was important they'd send Jupi or Kawri after them, probably.

As they got into more wild territory, she shifted into bird form; her eyesight was a lot better when transformed. She tried to keep track of Joachim while looking for anything... a flash through the undergrowth seemed suspect. She got a bit closer, and was fairly sure she was seeing a deer... she wasn't sure how to tell Joachim without going down there though... she decided to circle in the air above the deer, trying to indicate it's location for when Joachim looked up again.
Title: Re: Fire Emblem on Forums: Laguz Test Game IC
Post by: Blade Master Model 42 on January 05, 2020, 03:15:20 pm
While circling the deer, Aurelia spotted something else- A group of riders on the nearby road heading back to the estate. A dozen and a half riding men, by a rough count, and a few of the horses seemed to be carrying deer carcasses.
Title: Re: Fire Emblem on Forums: Laguz Test Game IC
Post by: SeriousConcentrate on January 05, 2020, 03:25:11 pm
Joachim watched her circling and quickly figured out the area below her; there must be something there. He crept through the bushes, meticulously avoid the sticks and dryer leaves that would crunch under his paws and give away his location, until he saw the deer. And a nice deer it was, too; a large stag, with a magnificent rack of antlers. The panther-like Laguz crept around to his side, then got low and repositioned his hind feet for maximum spring distance...

And then he lunged! Flying out of the underbrush, Joachim landed squarely across the stag's shoulders, his fangs deep in its' neck as he pushed it down with his claws. It was a moment's work to finish killing the beast; no point in making it suffer unnecessarily. He had people to deliver meat to and no time to play with the food. Keeping its neck firmly in his jaws, he looked up at Aurelia and wagged his tail idly as if to say 'good job'.
Title: Re: Fire Emblem on Forums: Laguz Test Game IC
Post by: Twinwolf on January 05, 2020, 05:09:33 pm
Aurelia had descended a bit when she saw Joachim getting close enough. She winced a little internally at the kill, but it wasn't as if she didn't know where meat came from. When he made the "good job" sort of signal, she did a sort of flip in the air in response. She felt that was the thing she least liked about the form, not being able to talk except in animalistic screeches.

Post by: Blade Master Model 42 on January 12, 2020, 07:23:48 pm
As the day went on, Joachim and Aurelia returned with their quarry in tow. The hunters had returned in their absence, with a pair of deer for the Laguz, leaving the deer the two had hunted somewhat redundant. Rather than letting it go to waste, it had been proposed by Prince Wolfgang that an impromptu feast be held (after he had secured a promise from Grae that the laguz in his group not leave the grounds again before their departure). In the interim, Aya had negotiated the release of one of the Laguz that she happened to know.

Raajak Khan is in!

As the sun began to set, one of the soldiers was sent to the group to bring them around to the dining hall. Outside, a servant waited with a pair of washtubs, a bowl, and a cloth. He washed each of the group's hands in turn before they entered a large dining hall, lit with torches and candles, and with a small group of soldiers standing against each wall. In the center of the room stood a long table, lined with pewter plates and cups. Close to door, away from the table, stood a harp and it's player, an attractive young woman with dark brown hair and green eyes, though she was not playing at the moment. At the far end of the table, Prince Wolfgang and Princess Ella stood together, both looking significantly more relaxed than they'd seemed when the group had first met them. Also with the group was the magician that the group had faced earlier, one Aaron Karachas, though he seemed a much slighter man without his armor.

(https://i.imgur.com/NUQ0vSy.png) "We thank you for joining us for dinner! I'm told the Venison that your group procured will be served shortly. Please, take a seat." The prince gestured to the simple but elegant wooden chairs lining the near side of the table.

Raajak, who felt much better now that he was allowed to properly groom himself, followed Aya into the hall and raised a callused hand in greeting. Humans and birds alongside fellow beasts? Well, Aya always had kept strange company.

Grae pulled out a chair close to the head of the table, leaving a seat open on his right between himself and the royals, and sat down." "This is a nice hall. You didn't have to go to all the trouble over us."

(https://i.imgur.com/a0LIAxr.png) "Perhaps not, but I thought it would be a good idea to clear the air. The circumstances of our meeting was... Well, it was unfortunate. You spared my men, and your intentions were noble, mercenary or not, so I would like to ensure that there be no bad blood between us before we travel into Sampia together."

(https://i.imgur.com/TiWvyaV.png) "I also wanted a chance to offer my apologies. Had it not been for my capture, you all would have been saved much hardship." Her tone was apologetic, but the Princess seemed much more at ease as she took a seat next to Wolfgang, who sat as she did.

(https://i.imgur.com/tQkYslA.png) "Perhaps so, but we have been and will be well compensated. You needn't apologize, Your Highness."

Major Karachas said nothing, but as his Prince sat, he took a seat opposite Grae,

(https://i.imgur.com/PPrrIBQ.png) "Thank you," Claire said before entering the room, though she wasn't even sure if the servant heard her before moving on to wash the hands of the next person in line.

Like Grae said, it was a nice hall, she thought, silently taking a seat at the table. It just felt strange being waited on, even as a guest. No point in dwelling too much on the strangeness; for now, she settled for picking up the thread of introductions again, not sure what she would say to the royalty or to the Major even if Grae wasn't already talking to them.

(https://i.imgur.com/PPrrIBQ.png) "I'm Claire," she said, "also one of the Steelhart Mercenaries. It's good to meet you too." She considered saying a little more - about her role in combat, about magic, about the slavers - but decided to fold her hands in her lap and let the conversation move on for now.

Milos really would have preferred to just take dinner into his room and board himself up until morning, but he wasn't that lucky. At the very least, he was grateful that it was a human servant washing his hands. Being in front of royalty, he was trying really hard not to lose his cool... He tried to look for a seat, and had to stop himself from jumping when he saw the newcomer. He was just a friend of Aya's, it was okay Milos, just a big, scary friend of Aya's that could easily tear into him without even trying...

Milos grit his teeth as he almost went into a speedwalk to go sit right next to Grae. Just as he was about to take the seat right next to Grae-

His gaze found itself on the princess, the daughter of King Himos.

"You will explain why you have brought a whimpering child into my presence. Do you seek to insult me in my time of need, human?"

Hoping nobody saw him grab the seat right next to Grae, especially not Grae or any of the Laguz he wasn't used to seeing, he whipped around and took the empty seat right next to the empty seat next to Grae. Just a little distance. A little distance and he'd be fine and it wouldn't look weird, right? He wasn't being scared, he was just being... with the rest of his group.

(https://i.imgur.com/MVW0Yfo.png) "..."

Milos stayed completely silent with the dinner conversation, not responding with what his name was. He might have whimpered a tiny 'Milos' in response to Raajak, but it wasn't audible to anyone, not even Grae.

Aurelia... well she kinda felt a bit awkward and embarassed. She hadn't realized she wasn't supposed to leave, she'd been rather focused on finding something to do and when she had she hadn't super thought about it... well, no dwelling on it. Probably. She probably would later. But right now, other things!

(https://i.imgur.com/wmMPI5j.png)"I'm Aurelia! Nice to meet you too!" Aurelia said cheerfully, as she plonked herself down on the seat next to Milos. Which was both because she was his friend, and because he seemed a little freaked out and could probably use someone friendly nearby.

(https://i.imgur.com/TiWvyaV.png) As the group all took their seats, the Princess glanced over each of them, but stopped upon spotting Milos, looking puzzled. She looked to Grae, then back at Milos, then Grae again. "Sir Steelhart, are each of you mercenaries?" A door at the rear of the room opened, and several servants filed in, carrying platters piled high with meat, bowls of vegetables, and jugs of wine. The harpist began to play soft, slow music as the food was set out, and cups filled.

(https://i.imgur.com/ebLAHUI.png) "The Laguz with us are not in my direct employ, and it is my understanding that a few of them are not mercenaries by trade. But all of my company are mercenaries, yes." Ella's eyes moved back over to Milos.

Joachim hadn't given a damn if they weren't supposed to go out, and if it wasn't for not wanting to cause trouble for Grae he likely would have backhanded the guards who had tried to tell him otherwise. And as for the dinner, he was choosing not to sit, instead eating a haunch by himself while leaning against a wall. There was no one he particularly wanted to be close to, and here he could keep an eye on the prince's guards while having his back protected.

Milos didn't even notice he was holding his breath until Aurelia sat down next to him, to which he breathed a small sigh of relief. He had been looking down at his lap, and now he felt like he could look up just a little bit with that ounce of encouragement that Aurelia gave to him.

(https://i.imgur.com/0E5qvXk.png) "Y... you really think so...? Thank-"

Oh, why did he have to look up? Couldn't he have just responded to Aurelia while he was still looking at his lap? He thought for even just a split second that King Himos' daughter was looking right back at him, did she catch his gaze? Was it too afraid? Not afraid enough? Which was it? And then just as a stupid reflex, he met her gaze right back, to which he immediately yanked his head back down to his lap, fear gripping him once more. He tried to whisper to himself. Just a curiosity, just a curiosity-

Then it hit him. The question of if they were all mercenaries. He knew what it meant. It was no secret to him. She didn't think he was capable, and her critique of him just solidified it in stone. She didn't even think he was a mercenary and was just... some whimpering child... just like her father did.

(https://i.imgur.com/NR3srbf.png) "......"

He tried so hard to say that he was an adult. He tried... but couldn't find the words. Who was to say the princess wouldn't hate him for talking back and consider telling her father? Suddenly becoming painfully aware of the idea that the princess' eyes might still be on him, Aurelia's eyes probably on him, and who knows who else's eyes were on him, he suddenly took a great interest in his drink, trying to hide his hurt expression by grabbing it and taking a big drink. Problem... Milos had never had alcohol, and he just tried to swallow quite the amount of it. A rather loud cough came from his throat, as well as the quick sloshing of wine that began to run down his hands due to lack of care taken and spill onto his pants.

The self-hatred that Milos allowed to creep into his body stabbed him like a knife, knowing that he was just proving both Ella and Himos' points... what kind of an adult was he that he couldn't even hold his liquor? In a hurry, Milos tried to save face by setting the glass back on the table, pray the tablecloth wouldn't stain, and hurriedly wipe his hands on his pants without caring if they stained. All the while, silently begging...

(https://i.imgur.com/NR3srbf.png) "Please don't be looking, please don't be looking, please don't be looking, please-"

He really tried to keep it under his breath, but it wasn't too hard for Aurelia or Grae to hear.

The servants carefully averted their eyes from Milos in his moment of shame, but the soldiers openly stared.

(https://i.imgur.com/TiWvyaV.png) Ella's eyes turned cold. "Your skill in the hunt does not grant you leave to speak so callously. Those slavers were outcasts in their own lands, just as a murderer or betrayer, because humans do not tolerate such things." Ella cast her own eyes at her plate, sounding very much irritated. "And you know as well as I that it's not uncommon for humans within our borders to be hunted for sport. They are not so different from us as you are so pleased to think." Ella looked at Milos, and then back to Joachim. "But he is here, is he not? Afraid or not, he sits here among us."

(https://i.imgur.com/ebLAHUI.png) "As an equal to any of us, yes. He sits among us." Grae also fixed Joachim with a stare. "As Milos's employer, I will ask you not to speak ill of him in my presence or his. And I will ask once."

The music from the harp stopped, and the soldiers attentions were now directed to Joachim, spears tight in their grips.

(https://i.imgur.com/TK1kpI3.png) The princess flushed but didn't back down. In fact, she stood up and leaned over the table at Joachim. "Would you ask my father to hunt down every common brigand? It is not the Prince's station to root out the criminals in his land, but he does it anyway. You forget your place."

(https://i.imgur.com/ebLAHUI.png) Grae stood as well, and interposed himself between Milos and Joachim, putting himself within inches of the Laguz hunter. His voice was low, level, and permeated by obvious menace. "I've worked with Milos for some time now. I do not deny that the beast Laguz frighten him. But he has my trust, and my respect. Milos' strengths complement my own. And mine his. Yours seem particularly expendable at the moment. Why don't you go sit down, and enjoy your meal?"

The cat walked away. Perhaps this was the old mercenary going soft in his old age, or perhaps Milos was the man's progeny and he was merely being overprotective. Either way, the decision had been made for Milos (like Joachim privately suspected many if not all of the boy's decisions had been) and there was no point in arguing it any further. As for the rest, he had no wish to be in the presence of the human prince or his guards, and no reason to stick with the group.

Post by: RedMageCole on January 12, 2020, 11:57:03 pm
Was it stupid of Milos to hope that nobody would notice him even though he just spilled wine all over himself? Yes. Yes it was. But he had really hoped nobody would call him out, just continue... and yet Joachim called him out. Harshly, in fact. The grim reality of his words hit him when he least expected it; during a dinner in front of royalty. It was instinct that called out to him next; pure instinct, that made him want to shout, all dignity forgotten, that he'll leave if that was what he wanted. Why was he here? He was clearly making no progress. He was hitting a brick wall, unable to stop shaking in terror. He braced himself, ready to flee when the agreements rolled in, putting Grae and the rest of the mercenaries to shame. That's all he seemed to do, just embarrass them...

Claire's words were the first to bring him back to light. A little nudge in the right direction, so to say. One that kept him rooted to his seat, trying to lift his head despite knowing that his face was caked with perhaps a few too many tears that he wanted nothing more than to hide. But what pulled him right back into reality were Ella's words.

You will explain why you have brought a whimperingBut he is here, is he not? Afraid or not, he sits here among us.child into my presence.

It really was just a sense of irrationality. An unfortunate connection he made back to her father... he just happened to look young, that was all. And then Grae... Grae still believed in him. After all of this, Grae still believed in him. Maybe he wasn't hitting such a brick wall after all. Milos still tried to climb his way out of that deep, dark hole. And he could begin to see the end of the hole.

"So, what arrre you going to do? Arrre you going to hide behind someone else's coattails forrr as long as you can, orrr arrre you going to take rrresponsibility forrr yourrrself?"

The physical contact made him shiver, but perhaps it was just due to how he wasn't used to it, rather than it being from the touch of someone he feared. Though tears still caked his face, the well had begun to run dry, as a small spark began to run through him, looking fear straight in the eyes.

Punch him.

The offer was simple, and clear. It was almost symbolic, in a way. The ability to punch his fear right in the face, not to harm, but to come to an understanding with it. That he was afraid, but he didn't have to be afraid. Beasts may be scary, but they still had feelings. Milos' hand curled into a little fist, barely recognizable... but then there was hesitation. Not because he was afraid... but why? Joachim was an ally. Milos wanted to support, not hurt. Milos had half a mind to say that, opening his little mouth...

But his hesitation was too much. The beast that Aya brought to the table had already jumped to his defense. The word hit him like a hammer right on one of the hands he had been using to climb the ladder out of that deep dark pit. Children. It hurt, and he grit his teeth as his eye contact had broken. Milos attempted to reestablish that eye contact, but it was too late. Grae had already jumped to his defense. Like many times he had done before... Grae was defending him. Milos really appreciated Grae, but... he was ashamed that he didn't act quicker. Grae wouldn't have had to have gotten up. Hesitation was Milos' downfall once again. He watched somberly as Joachim left.

Shame trickled down his back. He was fighting. He was fighting alongside his group, and against his fears as well. And yet, he had failed to make the right blow at the right time. Perhaps saying something could have helped him to open a hole in that fear... but clearly, it wasn't meant to be. Milos could see that Joachim needed a little bit of alone time, potentially. But... he was going to try and find an opening again. To make things right with the one who, while harsh, had a point.

For now, Milos looked up, his eyes glowing with determination even if the stains of his tears still remained on his face as he stood up and out of his seat.

(https://i.imgur.com/TpwnqqD.png) "I... am Milos Crawford. I am nineteen years old, though I look very young for my age. My father always insisted that I would be a very late bloomer, and that it's nothing to be ashamed of. Perhaps my growth was stunted from my fear, but I assure you... all of you..." Milos tried very hard to look each and every beast in the face, his eyes ending on Ella's. "...that I am an adult who has made a choice. A choice that said... that I was tired of living in fear. Beast Laguz... take up more of the population than humans do, and it's not fair to any of them that I should have this fear. Why do I have this fear? I don't know. There are no roadblocks, no traumatic experiences... just a goal that I've continued to trip along the way to get to. But... Every time I trip, it gets me a little bit closer. And I know that sometimes... it doesn't look like I've made very much progress... I know sometimes I have to have other people pick me up... but I... I know that one day, I'm going to clear that goal on my own two legs."

Milos sat back down, his confidence beginning to cool. Not yet, Milos reassured himself. Close it out. Be respectful. But sit down just so you don't shiver as much. Did he shiver once throughout that whole speech? He wasn't keeping track, but if he didn't...

(https://i.imgur.com/cBb8RbO.png) "Princess Ella... I appreciate your words greatly. Your father... I don't think he's very fond of me at all, for similar reasons to Joachim. Though both harsh, they have points. I can't just curl up and cry at every little obstacle. I... I let my behavior slip because I worried that you would have the same low opinion of me, but I see now that it was foolish of me to think so." He took his eyes off of Ella, now moving to Wolfgang, though his eyesight was beginning to start to dart around and it was clear that it was taking a lot of force to keep them in place. "Prince Wolfgang... I am deeply sorry for having contributed in the interruption to the feast you've so graciously prepared for us. I hope that this will not damage our relationships. And... you, sir." Milos looked to Raajak, trying to keep that steely gaze even if his body's shivers subtly conveyed that he was ready to go back to doing the opposite of talking. "Raajak, yes...? I apologize that the first impression I've made was less than stellar, but... I do hope I can rectify it."

Milos slumped back in his chair a little bit, holding himself. For a brief moment, he looked down at himself; this time, it wasn't in shame but utter bewilderment. What just came out of his mouth?

(https://i.imgur.com/mcXvbWE.png) "Erm-! Sorry, I... promise I'm not usually that wordy...! I hope I didn't, um... spoil anyone's dinner."

Heledd had been watching the proceedings with affected disinterest, simply continuing to lazily nibble at a bit of venison. The only thing spoiling the illusion was her gaze flicking back and forth between each speaker, her ears pricked up with intent. The show did seem to be over for a moment, though, and so she relaxed a bit more genuinely. She did, however, elect to make her own addition.

(https://i.imgur.com/TiWvyaV.png) "Perhaps I should apologize though. I meant no ill will when I commented on your age, it is just... You really do have a youthful faith, and a very slight build." The Princess was silent for a moment before her face lit up with understanding. "Oh! I see, you must be a magician! A conjurer of flame and lightning no doubt!"

The major set down his cup of wine, now emptied, and tipped it toward Milos. "Not a mage. The b- Man is a battle dancer. A rare talent, truth be told."

Grae gave Milos a reassuring pat on the back as the younger man finished his speech, and returned to his own seat and food.

(https://i.imgur.com/o9ev1L2.png) "A battle dancer? I have heard tales of such things, but I have never seen one myself. Milos, would you kindly give us a performance, when you have had your fill? If it's not too much to ask." The harpist suddenly remembered that they were supposed to be playing, and the soft sound of strings began to fill the hall again.

Aya snorts.

She was, all things told, a little self-conscious about not looking her age. That had gotten her into more than a few kerfluffles from well-intentioned elders mistaking her for some spring chicken.

Raajak returned to his feet, feeling foolish. Even with his limited understanding of table manners and diplomacy, he knew he had messed up everyone's first impression of him.

Aya's reassurance was very welcoming to Milos, as well as Prince Wolfgang's. He felt like he could sit up a lot straighter, especially in the presence of so many beasts. After giving a nod of understanding to Princess Ella to her apology, letting her continue speaking, he was almost about to correct her gently when the major did it for him. Though Milos' nervousness came back, Grae's pat on the back quickly dissipated it.

Suddenly, being asked to dance perked Milos right up. This was something he was proud of, and he was asked to dance right now? Even Aya's little tease about his age didn't fluster him as much. He became thankful that his appetite wasn't coming back.

(https://i.imgur.com/0E5qvXk.png) "Y... you want me to perform, Princess Ella? Ahaha... gosh, I haven't actually been asked to perform outside of battle in a while... I-I'd be more than happy to, though...!"

Milos sat up, trying to pretend that there weren't faint red spots on his pants, gently gripping his ribbons with both hands. As he listened to the music, he took a step forward, before freezing up a little. He stopped, and gave a small nervous giggle.

(https://i.imgur.com/S8AMzEe.png) "E-eheheh, p-please forgive me, I-I'm a bit nervous, but a bit jittery and somewhat excited, I think." Anyone who had been traveling with Milos for a while knew this was not his usual brand of anxiety; there was definitely a happy side to it. "I-I'll collect myself in a second, p-promise!... Is there a practice sword I can use? Something light?"

Raajak bowed his head to the prince, then lowered his voice to a level that could not be heard clear across the room.

Aurelia relaxed a bit as things calmed down, and the topic shifted. For a moment, she was worried since Milos seemed nervous - but it was quite different. A sort of nervous excitement. He was more focused on doing the dance than the fact some of his audience were beast laguz, and that was good.

Post by: RedMageCole on January 14, 2020, 12:44:09 am
Milos was very appreciative when he grabbed the sword, whispering a little thanks when he took it from the soldier. He could dance without it, but he felt like the effect of being a battle dancer would be lost without a weapon. Even if it was just a wooden one, the effect was still the same. Milos quickly spun the sword to a backhand position, listening to Aurelia's praise and beaming quite happily. He could do this. He could.

A nod in Claire's direction of understanding... Milos knew he was going to try his hardest, but he definitely would have to eat something after this. Whatever happened, though, he'd make it through. Just as he was ready to begin, moving his hands to clasp around the sword as if he were pulling it from the ground, Heledd's comment made him flinch slightly.

(https://i.imgur.com/cBb8RbO.png) "A-Ah! Um, no! See, with a battle dance, yes, it helps to have a target for the motivation, but, well... you don't actually dance with the person because you kind of have a sword in your hand... I mean, I definitely could; I still have a hand free, after all! But, um, it's okay if I'm by myself!"

Once again, his tone was frantic but not its usual anxious self; more of a flustered embarrassment at the idea of dancing with a partner, or fearing someone would feel obligated to dance with him.

Aurelia wasn't sure why she was getting up, entirely. Maybe to support Milos, make the dance more impressive. Or just because she hadn't tried dancing in ages. Or maybe as a way to de-stress after all that had happened.

(https://i.imgur.com/0BOro7F.png)"If you're taking volunteers, maybe I could! I think it'd be fun, right? If you don't mind that is."
Title: Re: Fire Emblem on Forums: Laguz Test Game IC
Post by: RedMageCole on January 14, 2020, 02:54:17 am
Milos looked rather astonished that anyone trusted him to dance with one hand holding a sword, and he wasn't one hundred percent certain himself how it would go. But regardless, he was happy about the offer, gaining a sudden burst of confidence to tie one end of his dancer's ribbon to the handle of the sword, securing it tightly.

(https://i.imgur.com/S8AMzEe.png) "O... okay! That sounds great! Here..."

Milos scurried over to Aurelia, taking her hand and gently pulling her over to the center of the area he prepared for the dance. Staring into Aurelia's eyes, Milos whispered. "I'll go slowly, don't worry."

Milos waited for a dip in the music as he held Aurelia's hand, and as the music started back up, he began. It started as a slow, traditional dance as Milos moved close to Aurelia and guided her in small motions. Nothing too deep, as he was doing the dance mostly one handed. It was difficult to tell that Milos had not heard this song before and hadn't planned this preemptively with the harp player; his movements were fluid and carefully in tune with the song. Guiding her along, Milos mostly did modest little twirls as he kept his sword close to his back. Once the music began to pick up, Milos let go in the middle of a twirl, tossing his sword in the air. Right as it looked like it would sail over Milos' head and out of his reach, he had swapped the ribbon in his off hand to his main hand, pulling the ribbon and directing the sword to be caught in his off hand. Despite the sudden change of where he wielded his weapon, he managed to twirl it effortlessly as he directed himself into a spin as if propelled by the sword's landing.

From there, Milos' confidence began to pick up, shifting from dancing with his sword to dancing with Aurelia rather quickly before Aurelia could look too awkward standing there. At one point, as the music slowed, Milos twirled his ribbon right around his upper arm; it looked to be a mistake, until a small spin revealed his sword managed to be perfectly tied to the back of his arm, pressing in a way so that even if it were metal it would not cut into his skin. Closer examination revealed he was pulling the sword to his arm with his fingertips, and the reasoning was clear; for this slow part of the dance, Milos wished to give Aurelia a proper dance, and took her hand and waist for an appropriate slow dance. He was careful to take her hand with the arm that held the sword behind it, as to not have her accidentally grip the blade.

He allowed the dance between the two of them to linger, Milos not taking his eyes off of Aurelia's. She was the only one who could see the beads of sweat that were starting to surface on his forehead, whether they be out of exhaustion, anxiety or a little bit of both. Despite this, his face radiated joy, a rare perfect smile across his face.

The song began to quicken its pace, and as it did, so did the pace of Milos' dance. For a little while, it stopped being a sword dance, just a dance where Milos wished to entertain Aurelia for a while... but then as the harp's final notes began to sound, Milos mouthed the words 'trust me' to Aurelia. He let go of her hand as the two began to separate, still entwined in one hand, and with a sudden loosening motion the sword had come loose with Milos catching it by the pommel. With a single motion, the sword fell into his hands, and he tossed it into the air much as he had done in the beginning of his sword dance, ribbon still entwined around his fingers... and this time, Milos brought his now-free hand around Aurelia's body to bring her into a sudden, deep dip, sword seemingly completely forgotten. With just a mere glance away, Milos opened the hand that still clasped hers, the sword falling perfectly into their hands as Milos closed it together, bird and human together sharing the same weapon.

Milos' astonishment was difficult to hide from Aurelia, even if he did seem confident for a brief moment, but it was quickly replaced by relief.

(https://i.imgur.com/0E5qvXk.png) "H-heh... s-sorry, got a little carried away, there..." Milos said in a little whisper to Aurelia, still keeping her in the dip until she was ready to move out of it.
Title: Re: Fire Emblem on Forums: Laguz Test Game IC
Post by: Twinwolf on January 14, 2020, 07:55:40 am
Aurelia felt a bit nervous, but dispelled that when Milos looked like he was somewhat comfortable with the idea. She'd been a bit worried about imposing.

(https://i.imgur.com/pAToYmI.png)"I'll follow your lead, then!" she said as she was guided to the center.

(https://i.imgur.com/270NCWr.png)"Ok! I trust you." she nodded and smiled in what she hoped was a confident way. Although she made sure to tuck in her wings so they didn't get in the way.

Then, she just let Milos and the music guide her steps. Aurelia hadn't heard the song before either, or indeed hadn't really danced with someone like this before, but she did her best to keep up. It started slow, easy to follow. She was worried that he was taking it easier than he could for her, but before she could say anything he let go of her mid twirl and did a toss of his sword - she was too interested in watching it go through the air, nearly out of reach before being pulled back in, to realize she was standing still until Milos came back to her and got her moving again. After the second time, Aurelia started trying to keep moving while that happened, leaning into the twirl and letting it continue for a bit, then circling while waiting for him to get back to it.

The music slowed, and another new trick was pulled out that she didn't at first recognize the purpose of. Even being part of the dance, it was hard to decide whether to watch the sword or Milos (or her own footing, for that matter; she had good balance, but she wanted to be sure not to step on Milos). So she was a little surprised when he took her hand and hip and guided her in a more traditional dance. This, she felt confident she could do - while Milos was still leading, for this portion she was more of an active participant than a prop. Aurelia had thought she was getting tired, until she got a good look at Milos and saw the sweat, whatever the cause; he was doing his best, and she had to do at least that much. She looked right back at him, smiling, not noticing her own slight blush (or ascribing it to the effort from the dance).

Milos asked her to trust him as the song picked up the pace as it reached conclusion. True to her words of encouragement at the beginning, she nodded slightly, just enough that he'd see. She didn't know what she'd expected, but the sudden speed, the dip, the sword clasping together - it happened so fast that she wasn't sure what had happened until it was over. She noticed that her wings had extended just a bit, adding a little flair to the drop (and also helping her keep balance, although of course Milos was taking care of that). For a few moments she didn't say anything, just breathing a bit hard. Her face felt hot. But that was probably the effort.

(https://i.imgur.com/XJ6jWyZ.png)"N-No, it's fine! T-This was a good finish..." she answered quietly, trying not to stutter too much. For a few moments she just kind of let things hang until she realized she was supposed to move again. When she recovered her balance, she kinda just looked at him for a bit before doing a slightly awkward curtsy (as if she had a skirt instead of pants). "You were amazing, Milos! Good job!" she said quietly, recovering a bit, and subtly gestured for him to bow to his audience.

Milos looked happy when Aurelia approved of such antics, being slightly afraid that she would have been less than pleased at his sudden maneuver.

(https://i.imgur.com/S8AMzEe.png) "Th... Thank you..." An exhausted whisper came out of him in response to Aurelia, and he saw the opportunity to bow. Slightly scrambling to regain his posture, he sunk into a bow of respect, smiling happily at all of the praise. Aya's praise especially hit him well; knowing he made someone he was afraid of that excited... Milos felt confident for once and he wished he could keep that forever.

After he got out of his bow, he folded his hands together and looked at Ella.

(https://i.imgur.com/0E5qvXk.png) "Dancing is easy, when you take the time to learn it!... Well, doing the moves I did aren't exactly easy, but just simple things like slow dances... Everyone deserves to dance, really! It's a great time..."

Suddenly, Milos' exhaustion suddenly hit him, and he decided sitting down was a good idea. He sat down and started helping himself to some of the veggies, looking significantly more relaxed than he had been before.

Aurelia also made her way back to her seat, next to Milos.

Heledd raised an eyebrow. She'd been poking fun at the boy a bit, hoping he'd rise to it and maybe continue on with his newfound spine, but the response had proven to be far more interesting than she'd thought. Now the dancer and Aurelia were chatting away together, too, with Milos looking far less terrified than usual. Granted, she was usually part of the source, but it was oddly heartwarming to see regardless.

(https://i.imgur.com/6B6GEM1.png)"Well, well, how about that?" she said quietly, but audibly enough for Grae (who she had at some point placed herself near) to hear. "Who would have thought that would happen?"

Heledd sighed slightly. Partially because Grae seemed to have missed the point she was making in part, and partially because the rest was vaguely annoying and liable to fall to her to address.
(https://i.imgur.com/6B6GEM1.png)"Of course. A coward wouldn't have put up with me for this long, especially one his size. And I don't think I've seen him falter when it mattered."

Once he had gotten a sample of the food (to which Milos looked rather glad about having tasted), there was a noticeably different tone in Milos' voice once he responded to Aurelia. Not a hint of his usual anxiety, nor the exhaustion from getting done with his dance. Just a confident, chipper voice enjoying the meal and the moment.

(https://i.imgur.com/nNw15RO.png) "I'm glad you had fun! If you'd like, I wouldn't mind having a dance with you again! Maybe perhaps less with the sword part, I don't get the chance to dance without it at all! It'd be nice to try it without having the sword tied to my arm!"

Milos realized how confident he sounded, just a spritz of shyness coming back to him as he continued.

(https://i.imgur.com/S8AMzEe.png) "Sh-sheesh, what am I saying? I'm always happy to dance! It's just up to you if and when, of course..."

Ah - she'd had half a mind to ask Heledd a question, but it seemed she was talking with Grae, and in a way that Claire could see that it would probably be rude to interrupt. In the meantime, she busied herself with the meat and vegetables, serving herself a second helping given the opportunity. There was no time for hesitation when it came to food - not that she was too worried about someone taking her share here.

Aya had left Raajak by himself at the table, and after a moment of thought Claire decided she was unworried enough to make a little side conversation with him, given the food was unlikely to disappear as long as the prince was providing it.

Aya ... strides off of to go look for her catty cat Laguz companion.

She would find Joachim in the courtyard, standing near the southwest corner of the small building that had no discernible use across the road from the storehouse. It was far enough away from everyone that he didn't have to be around people, but still technically within the grounds so he wasn't breaking any rules. He clearly heard her approach, as his left ear swiveled in the wolf's direction, but aside from that he continued to stand still, looking up at the sky with his arms crossed.

Aya chuckles goodnaturedly.
(https://i.imgur.com/dZrnNlr.png) "You do you, man. Travel, see the beauty of the world, get to know people. Strength only makes for so much when you gotta lead a nation, ya know. Not that I'd know any better."
(https://i.imgur.com/MaKCc62.png) "I'm kinda one of 'em country bumpkins, really. That sorta stuff is beyond me."
Then Joachim continues on and Aya is silent for a bit, as if deep in thought. After a bit, Aya speaks up, exhaling sharply.
(https://i.imgur.com/MaKCc62.png) "Alright. Back in Geumho, ya see, my family and I have a farm. A big farm, big space. I'd run around it all day long as a kid. You could live off the land there, but grain pays for clothes and things that you can't just hunt for, so that's what we farmed. But not always the same crops. Anyway, I learned a lot about farmin' out there, how you need to take care of some crops."
(https://i.imgur.com/dZrnNlr.png) "Now, some crops, ya can shove out there. Needs a little soil, a little water, a little sun. That's it. That's all the care it needs to give ya something worth selling. Or eating."
(https://i.imgur.com/yrvFtdM.png) "But others, ya gotta nurture 'em. Tend to them every day, make small adjustments, and they're real sensitive, so if you screw up, they'll die. But, at the end of the day, ya take care of 'em, they'll take care of ya."
(https://i.imgur.com/jIb4vmc.png) "Now, Milos ain't some plant. But, well, I had to help raise eight lil' cubs because my Ma and Pa were always out carting grains to the depot so the fancy merchants can sell 'em. And.....well, some of 'em, some of 'em were tough little bastards. Rough, rowdy, could take care of themselves. A lot like you; ya could push them out of the tree and they'd fly."
(https://i.imgur.com/EwQ7bDf.png)"But others.....well, ya couldn't push 'em, because they'd fall, and they'd break. Ya gotta watch out for each other, know what they need, whether yer on a farm or runnin' a country."

Ya trusted him this far, right? A good leader knows what his men needs; maybe he knows what Milos needs too. 'Course, that don't mean I won't tease the boy or treat him like some kid. It's Grae's job to babysit him, not mine.""

Raajak looked up from his meal of human-style meat at Claire's question. He liked the seasoning well enough, but apparently humans overcooked their food and it wasn't as juicy as he would have preferred.

(https://i.imgur.com/PPrrIBQ.png) "Like they said, Milos is a battle dancer, so it can be different than dancing just for fun. I think... if you're lucky enough to have him dance for you in battle, then you'll definitely understand." She curled a strand of her hair around her finger. "It is dancing, just... there's something special about it. Almost magical." Her voice became soft, thoughtful. "More useful than magic, sometimes."

Claire returned to her meal. Although she was careful enough to account for table manners, the food on her plate was vanishing at a rather rapid rate.

I suppose there must be some reason for your commander to keep the cu--Milos around." Raajak ate some more, trying not to spill too much now that he had a neighbor at the table. When Claire asked about laguz dance, the tiger thought for a moment before answering.

(https://i.postimg.cc/DZXPSfDJ/raajak-normal.png): "I have not heard of any laguz, beast or bird, performing magical dances in battle. I myself dance very little. That cat had the look of a noble about him, though, so he may know more on the subject. Or perhaps the princess, if you would rather not deal with him."

(https://i.postimg.cc/DZXPSfDJ/raajak-normal.png): "Hrr, enough about the cat. What is your role in this company? Surely you cannot all be dancers."

With one hand Claire lifted one of the sleeves of her robe and let it fall again, seeming almost uncomfortable before proceeding as if by rote. "I use anima magic, to be specific, though I prefer wind magic most of all. In battle, I help the others by striking from far away and drawing the enemy's attention, sometimes so that they come after me instead of the others. There are other mages in the company, but that's... that's the way I'm most useful."

(https://i.imgur.com/rR2wsXe.png) "... It's finger wiggling, basically," she said, her gaze briefly flitting towards where she'd last seen Clover. Time to try to redirect the topic. "I guess you probably fight on the front lines like the other laguz?"

Raajak sensed that something was bothering the human, but could not begin to guess what it was and so kept his mouth shut. The laguz gave an oddly purring chuckle at the question about his place on the battlefield.

Heledd mulled the question over for a moment.

It struck her in retrospect that it was rather a large assumption to have asked Raajak about his role on the battlefield. No one had said he was a warrior, a soldier, or a mercenary. Maybe it was the way he was built. Maybe it was because laguz were, in a way, always armed. Maybe it was because she still thought of most Sampians that way - arrogant, hostile, proud of their might above all. That Raajak, many of the other laguz with them, and the princess might be different did not quite shake her feeling that that was their way of life.

(https://i.imgur.com/PPrrIBQ.png) "Mm. We all do what we can in a fight," Claire finally said. She was still half lost in thought - upon realizing she was still in the conversation she gave Raajak a small, mostly unforced smile that faded as quickly as it had come.

(https://i.imgur.com/PPrrIBQ.png) "But hopefully we won't have any reason to use our weapons on the way back, or to ask you to join in unless you want to."

"Everyone here came to rescue Princess Ella and several other laguz - including myself - from a fate worse than death. If there is a need to fight on the road back to Sampia, I will come to your aid. I swear it."

"The problem is that I don't know that Milos *can* take care of himself, at least not when he's staring down a beast laguz who happens to be less amicable than you. In any other situation, I trust him to either handle it himself. Or to get someone else who can handle it, if he can't. But that's not good enough for Joachim, is it?"

When I was a young man, right after this happened," Grae indicated his bad eye with a thumb, "I started working with another guy when no one else would take me. Everyone called him a coward, but he fought like a bear. I asked him what the rumors were about, but he wouldn't tell me. I didn't find out for two years. Two years in which he never turned tail on a job, backed away from a challenge, and never showed yellow to be his color. But one day, he found a rat in his pack, and he pissed himself. Right in front of me and the other people we were working with at the time."

The dinner was concluded without incident as twilight fell away to reveal the night. A spare common room had been prepared for Grae and his associates to spend the night earlier, and they were guided to it.

Following a quiet and uneventful night, the band woke to an extremely busy estate. Soldiers were gearing up their horses, and a covered wagon had been brought out. The Laguz from the cells were already standing around it. Though they seemed to be arguing with the Prince.

(https://i.imgur.com/ZgkMwUv.png) "Look, I am willing to concede that you walk where there are no patrols, but I must insist that you return to the wagon should we encounter patrols of soldiers not directly under my command. Regardless of my own feelings on the matter, it does not change the fact that there is currently a war on. The border is not terribly far. A week, maybe shorter if we make good time. I only ask that you be patient a short while longer."  A chorus of grumbles was clearly irritated... but compliant.

(https://i.imgur.com/a0LIAxr.png) "You have my thanks. Our preparations to leave are very nearly complete, and then we can get underway." The Laguz dispersed slightly to wander the grounds, and Wolfgang turned to greet the group. "Good morning. I hope you all slept well. We're somewhat behind schedule, I'm sad to say, but we should be underway within the hour."

(https://i.imgur.com/ebLAHUI.png) "Where's the princess? I don't see her."

(https://i.imgur.com/a0LIAxr.png) "She's asleep. I didn't see the need to wake her so long before we're prepared to go."

(https://i.imgur.com/ebLAHUI.png) "Well go and get her, if it pleases your Highness."

Wolfgang huffed, but moved off in the direction of the building the group had stormed only yesterday. He returned only a short time later with the Princess, and soon the wagon was hitched to a pair of horses, with several more mounted by armed soldiers and a small group of mages and a healer assembled on foot. Wolfgang himself mounted a handsome white warhorse, and Ella quickly followed him up to sit behind him in the saddle. The group set off out of the estate at a gentle pace.

(https://i.imgur.com/a0LIAxr.png) "Stick close to the cart. If need be, get inside, and I will let you know when the coast is clear."

(https://i.imgur.com/ebLAHUI.png) "You're going to stick the princess into the cart then?"

(https://i.imgur.com/o9ev1L2.png) "Actually, I've already thought about something I could do!" The princess produced a white shawl from one of Wolfgang's saddlebags, and wrapped it around her head, where it stuck up rather awkwardly. She smiled regardless. "See! No one would know I was not human!"

(https://i.imgur.com/TiWvyaV.png) After a while, Princess Ella had begun to grow restless in the saddle, so she stepped down to spend some time on her feet. She spent it walking and talking with Aurelia. "Well, it's kind of a long story. I've never been much of a fighter. Which is a little... I mean, being the daughter of the King and... but my brothers have always tried their best to, you know, toughen me up. Baarst, he's the eldest, he thought it would be good for me to hunt in human territory. So he took me over the border, and he took me hunting. But we got separated by a border patrol. Baarst was able to lead them away, but I... Got lost."

(https://i.imgur.com/gSxhCug.png) "That's when I first ran into the prince. He was fishing, and I almost didn't realize he was there until I ran into him because he was sitting so still..."

(https://i.imgur.com/a0LIAxr.png) "Well, I believe that it's worth the attempt, at least. In truth, I know very little about Sampia and her people, apart from what Princess Ella has told me. I'm much more familiar with our own situation, and Morcia is extremely mineral poor. And it is an open secret that Sampia has a great deal of untapped ore. But the Laguz of Sampia do not even work the fields, much less the mines, so there is nothing we may offer them in trade. After all, you simply hunt for your meals, and that is that."

(https://i.imgur.com/sTrkAqQ.png) "My generals will bray about how it is a response to incursions by the Laguz into our territory, not that such is entirely untrue, but its a pretext for a war of conquest to gain access to metal.

Maybe she should be a bit more nervous about talking to a princess, Aurelia thought; she was well enough nervous about talking with the prince. But Ella seemed really... approachable? So she didn't mind as much.

So I stood there, quietly, and watched the water with him. It seemed like forever before he suddenly yanked on his rod and pulled a fish from the water. He was showing off his catch before he noticed that I wasn't human. It surprised him, of course. But he invited me to share the fish with him. I thought at the time that I was making a mistake by staying, but I'm glad I did. We mostly told each other what life was like where we came from.

Milos had a wonderful sleep last night, feeling as light as a feather as he leapt into bed the night before and slept without fear of waking up. The next morning, he had gotten up with a spring in his step, ready to return and face King Himos. He could stand tall. Know that he succeeded in his mission. And above all, he was not a child... though he did wish he looked a little less like a child when going up to him.

As he walked with the group, Milos mostly kept to himself, though not in a terrified way. He was just happy, humming a small tune as he did little sword twirls out of enjoyment. He didn't mind talking to people... and not mind he did. He saw Aya and Ella were crowding around Aurelia... Aurelia looked a bit flustered. Were they being mean to her?- Okay, no, they wouldn't be mean to Aurelia. But still, Milos knew how hard being teased too much was, and so he went to hopefully be a bit of a presence for Aurelia to feel safe.

Trying to keep his confident posture, putting his sword in its sheath and hurrying over, Milos interjected.

(https://i.imgur.com/nNw15RO.png) "Hey, you're not all teasing Aurelia, are you?... What happened? I'm sure it wasn't that bad, Aurelia!... Whatever it is they're teasing you about!"

Though he was interjecting, it was more out of playfulness than anything. Happiness that he could feel confident enough to join in on the fun... though he didn't think he'd be helping tease Aurelia, at least. Maybe he could come up with some kind of snappy retort. Naturally, that meant he didn't brace himself in the slightest for whatever they were actually teasing Aurelia about, his confident stature being pretty much like glass.

(https://i.imgur.com/o9ev1L2.png) At the sound of Milos' voice, Ella turned on her heel to face the dancer. "Ah, Milos, your timing couldn't be better!" There was something... Off, about the way she spoke to Milos. Despite seeming as gentle and kind as she had the night before, she exuded a strange aura in the moment. Like a predator focused on completely different prey. "I was hoping to ask you something about Aurelia..."

(https://i.imgur.com/ebLAHUI.png) Closer to the front of the group, Grae watched Aya go with mild interest. "I suppose I shouldn't put this off." The mercenary leader scanned the heads of the group, looking for one in particular. He found it before long, and made his way over to Joachim. "You and I need to have a discussion."

Milos wasn't very certain of why Ella looked so pleased to see him, and her gaze made his spine seem to dissipate. He tensed up slightly, unsure of how at all this was going to proceed... he didn't feel scared persay, but he was definitely a bit nervous. About Aurelia? Er...

(https://i.imgur.com/0E5qvXk.png) "Um... s-sure! I mean, I think you'd probably be better off asking Aurelia, I mean, we've only known each other for a few weeks... unless it's my opinion, then okay!"

Milos briefly looked to Aurelia, who looked nervous. What was going on?

Is that a fair assessment, or did you just misspeak?"

(https://i.imgur.com/o9ev1L2.png) "Very good then, that's exactly what I want to know! Now, Milos... How do you feel about Aurelia? What's your opinion of her?"

Post by: RedMageCole on January 27, 2020, 10:57:49 pm
Huh, was that really it? Milos wasn't sure why he felt so antsy all of the sudden, why Ella's gaze seemed to be taking in every bit of him. This was a pretty easy question, all things considered... though he was curious about how Aurelia got to blushing because of this. Well, he wasn't going to tease her! He was going to be honest!

(https://i.imgur.com/nNw15RO.png) "Aurelia's a wonderful part of the team! She's really strong, and very kind, too! She's also a delight to be around, I really do enjoy her company. Dancing with her was really fun, too! I've never had a dance partner quite like her!"

Milos looked right at Aurelia, looking very cheerful, as if he was trying to smile to make her happy too.

(https://i.imgur.com/TK1kpI3.png) "...I see. What a perfectly wonderful answer. Thank you, Milos. But, I just remembered, I think Mr. Steelhart was looking for you. You should probably go see him." This was a flat lie, but the Princess would need to speak to Aurelia with a measure of privacy.

Milos looked content, and noticed Aurelia looked relieved. He must have done something right to have his answer be perfectly wonderful! As much as he enjoyed Aurelia and Ella's company, he couldn't disobey when Grae needed him.

(https://i.imgur.com/nNw15RO.png) "Okay! I'll get to him right now." Milos gave a little wave to the two of them, looking at Aurelia in particular. "I'll talk to you later!"

(https://i.imgur.com/rR2wsXe.png) "Oh... Thanks. He shouldn't send you running around like that when you're busy making friends." At least, that was what she'd assumed had been happening with the lively atmosphere. "I can find him myself if you want to get back to it."

Claire nodded.

Part of her, nursing a small flickering anger, wanted to bring up what had happened at dinner. But no. If Grae had talked to Joachim, then it was likely settled. She didn't need to be a part of it, no matter how she felt about it.

But I'd rather discuss my studies, yes." Grae withdrew the anima primer that he'd borrowed from that shopkeeper, back before the group had set out for the abandoned mine. The loose sheet of paper he'd been keeping in it as a bookmark had migrated to the rear cover over the last week. "I... think I have the basics down. Enough to get started with application, at least."

She was oddly excited, in a way. She wasn't sure if it had been a big secret or anything. Just small discussions with Grae, now and then, as he went through the book. She'd made her best guesses on the theory, something she had never really had the chance to learn or study, instead trying to help Grae from knowing how she used her magic herself. The feeling of it, the way she drew it forth, the way it was a part of her.

For better or worse. Right now, she didn't have to think of the days where it had been the latter.

(https://i.imgur.com/rR2wsXe.png) "So you just wanted to talk to me to borrow a tome?" Claire asked, her tone softly amused.

Whether that was his intention or not, it seemed like the natural offer to make. She retrieved her tomes, one in each hand, for Grae to inspect.

(https://i.imgur.com/PPrrIBQ.png) "Have you thought about which kind of anima you want to focus on?" Her own preference was clear enough to see, the green tome in her left hand well-worn, well-loved.

Claire blinked at Grae's observation and regathered her thoughts.

(https://i.imgur.com/PPrrIBQ.png) "No, it won't... but I don't need a tome to draw the enemy's attention. Even if I can't fight back, if it's enough to keep the others from getting hurt as much, that's what's really important. I'm used to it - um, I mean, I'd rather... get hurt instead of any of you. Anytime. More, if I could." A pause. She was pretty sure Grae already knew that.

Several long days of travel slowly dragged by. The prince's horsemen would regularly ride ahead, returning with reports of not only guards, but also regularly with game animals. As the road drew longer, the Laguz grew ever more restless. However, eventually, the long road reached, if not the end, perhaps the half way point. The great southern wall of Morcia.

The guard on duty was not particularly deferential to the Prince. "Your highness, I understand your authority, but I have strict orders from General Whart to block all traffic into Morcia by anyone for any reason."

(https://i.imgur.com/a0LIAxr.png) "Your dedication to your station is admiral, corporal, but you are entirely out of your depth. The General may make his case to myself, at my discretion, should he so choose. My soldiers and I are crossing the border, and I have the authority to have you stripped of your service record. Perhaps you'd sooner do that than you would open the gates for myself and my men?"

"No, your highness, I wouldn't, but-"

(https://i.imgur.com/ZgkMwUv.png) "That being the case, I will be crossing the border. Open. The gate."

"But your highness, the General will want to know why-"

(https://i.imgur.com/a0LIAxr.png) "We all want for things we cannot have, corporal. We will return soon, and General Whart needs to know nothing about this."

The corporal continued to sputter his protestations but, behind him, the guards in attendance opened the way for the Prince's wagon which was stuffed to bursting with Laguz unbeknownst to them. The guards eyed the Steelharts, but said nothing to any of them.

(https://i.imgur.com/ebLAHUI.png) Once the gates were safely shut behind the wagon and the caravan was safely on Sampian soil, Grae spoke. "You talk over people a lot. You know that, right?"

(https://i.imgur.com/a0LIAxr.png) "My station grants me certain privileges, Steelhart, I'm quite aware. In the interest of time, I am forced to bring discussion to a halt on occasion. What of it?"

(https://i.imgur.com/605zc7v.png) "Take it from someone who doesn't have the option of throwing his weight around. Listen to people when you can. And think twice when you think you can't."

As the wall fell away from the sight of the group through the thick forests of Sampia, the cart already beginning to struggle in the trackless wilds, Wolfgang called it to a halt. The Laguz poured out and, with nary a word of gratitude, ran whooping and hollering to the south, taking on their beast forms and celebrating their freedom. As they went, Grae sent Kawri ahead, to meet with the King and inform him that they had the princess.

(https://i.imgur.com/TK1kpI3.png) "...I wish they had said something to the Prince before they'd left."

(https://i.imgur.com/a0LIAxr.png) "...They were away from home for a long time. Unable to run free and hunt, as they so often reminded me. Perhaps they simply wished to return to their old lives without delay. I hope that, in retrospect, they will see that I treated them as best I could."

As the group made their way south, the terrain worsened. More rocks and hills, dips and folds in the land, and the wild overgrowth of plants made it difficult to navigate the wagon, lightened though it was. Prince Wolfgang had rejected Grae's suggestion to leave it behind. His reasoning being that it would be difficult to carry the food supplies he had brought in it, and spending time foraging raised the risk that they would be discovered by unfriendly forces.

It was quite the shame that his precautions were for not. While going around a river, the group was forced through a mountain pass, where they found themselves surrounded by Laguz.

(https://i.imgur.com/a0LIAxr.png) The prince did not draw his weapon. "Please, allow us to pass through! We mean no harm, we are only here to speak with King Himos!"

One of the nearer Laguz snarled. "Mean no harm? You come with soldiers into our lands, soldiers of Morcia! Your bodies will send a clear message to your people when we are finished!"

(https://i.imgur.com/ebLAHUI.png) "I'm under the employ of King Himos. I have retrieved his missing daughter, we are simply-"

"Liar! The King's daughter is not missing! Everyone would surely know! But no one has spoken of such a thing. Isn't that right?" A roar of assent came from the assembled Laguz.

(https://i.imgur.com/TiWvyaV.png) Ella slid down from behind Wolfgang, and raised her voice. "It's true! I am-"

"Imposter! Traitor! If you brought humans here, you are not of Sampia!" "Get the birds!"

(https://i.imgur.com/ebLAHUI.png) "They aren't going to listen to us. We'll have to break through to the south, and get to open ground."

Milos' cheery disposition shattered like glass when he saw what he was going up against. The whole scene was far too familiar to the one he experienced when first going on this mission; the one where he nearly took out some poor Laguz's eye out of fright. He was shaking, but he drew his sword and got ready to dance. After all he showed... he wasn't going to up and turn running and make all of his words empty.

He was going to be brave.

"I'm not going to run anymore..." Milos said under his breath, preparing for battle.

When Aya moves, Milos heads to I7 and performs for Claire and Aurelia.

Aurelia dives at one of the larger tigers, and lands a clean strike against its jaw. Before she can retake the sky, however, the tiger swipes a massive paw against her bird-neck, and pins her against the ground. Fighting for air, Aurelia manages to kick her way out of the hold, and scrambles back into the air.

Milos winced and had to restrain himself from shouting out in an upset protest when he watched both Aurelia and Grae take heavy damage from the tigers. Biting on his lip, he hurried over to get some support; mid-twirl, he noticed the cats skulking on the top, about to take the group from the side. In a fit of courage, he yelled over.

If she'd just attacked first- If she could have put herself in harm's way instead- Those thoughts came, fleeting, every time, but she knew by now there was no time for that sort of regret.

Claire forced her way forward to the front lines next to Aurelia and Raajak, and knelt quickly by Grae to tend to his wounds.

(https://i.imgur.com/PPrrIBQ.png) "Unlucky," she murmured. As she rose to her feet again the swirling embers around her flared, almost in invitation. "Let me draw them this time."

Even though she had been ready, the speed of the beast that came at her was overwhelming. Two slashes interspersed by her magic's response, the cat's claws only partially blocked by her plate, sinking into her robes and her flesh.

Claire grit her teeth, dimly noticing as Grae used part of a vulnerary on her, and pushed forward. As she drew the magic forth, she wrenched it into a tongue of flame, trying to catch the cat on the other end on the wrong foot even as it curled around the horse and healer crossing her path.

Heledd thanked Godric for the healing, then slinked off as she transformed. She would have grumbled to herself had that form been suitable for doing so. Did these Laguz really believe this so wholeheartedly? Of course the king had not publicized his daughter being missing, it would make him seem weak.

Clover would idly twirl her dagger in her hand as she jogged through the forest, frowning just a bit. She'd been keeping to herself ever since she saw that the Morcian Prince had been together with the Princess, and while it was simple enough to stay out of sight and out of mind when things were going well, this whole laguz attack had forced her out into the open to do her job. Not that there'd ever been any doubt that she'd step up to help out, but she really wasn't interested in being noticed by this Prince. She didn't think he'd have any idea who she was specifically, of course, but her moniker was a different story entirely.

She'd sigh a bit before looking up as she approached the exit of the woods, picking up her pace as she darted past the others and towards the flank of one of the laguz.

(https://i.imgur.com/UP4zMnm.png) "Sorry, but I need to let out some stress, and you just came along at the right time, friend!"

Milos was getting to be a bit stressed out; this was the closest he had been to enemy beasts since the beginning of this journey and he was still scared. Granted, he found he was more scared of their power rather than their shape. Readying himself, he prepared to bolster Grae and Godric to get some further damage control out, even if it costed his own safety.

Milos was more than happy to take a moment to himself to look after his wounds, honestly getting a little bit exhausted with all the furious dancing and worrying.

She was less experienced, less comfortable with wielding fire as a distraction, but as she focused on maintaining her barrier of spiraling embers she was surprised that a tiger took the bait - and that its heavy, lunging strike was so simple to dodge. Even as the tiger staggered under her counterattacks, she hesitated to deal the incapacitating blow.

Claire shook her head.

Claire to M-11, Fire on Tiger E.
Grae to L-11.

Milos wasn't too exhausted, but he was still nervous. Thankfully, all around him he could see everyone starting to fight back the enemy. He cheered on Aurelia as he watched her fight off two of the burly-looking tigers, but his cheers were stopped dead in their tracks when the cat got the jump on her.

(https://i.imgur.com/mcXvbWE.png) "A-... Aurelia?"

Milos wasn't sure what happened then, whether it was nerves starting to flare up, anger, protectiveness or just plain foolishness. Whatever the case was, though, he gripped his sword and began to charge in. Though with any armored knight it may have looked cool, Milos admittedly looked a little silly as he did try to put a little flair into his charge— holding his not-really-heavy sword with two hands as he began to jump to the cat, sweat pouring off of his head as he engaged in a dangerous combat.

(https://i.imgur.com/TpwnqqD.png) "S-Stay away from her! I'm not afraid of you! Aghh!!"

The enemy can't catch up!

~Map Clear~

(https://i.imgur.com/a0LIAxr.png) "This is our chance! Birds, to the sky! Two riders on every horse! Everyone else, get on the wagon!" With the path ahead of them clear and flat, the horses were able to pull them all away from the laguz. Soon enough, the horde of laguz had faded into the distance, though the horses strode on.

(https://i.imgur.com/ebLAHUI.png) "Quite a mess, eh, your Highness?" Steelhart's unconcerned call from the back of the wagon didn't seem to bother the Prince very much.

(https://i.imgur.com/sTrkAqQ.png) "I'm sure we can resolve it when we meet with King Himos."

Title: Re: Fire Emblem on Forums: Laguz Test Game IC
Post by: RedMageCole on August 09, 2020, 09:33:18 pm
Milos was quick to jump into the wagon, catching his breath. While he was not excited to meet King Himos again, at least King Himos wasn't going to actually kill him. He sat upwards and took the time to catch his breath, looking at the wagon to make sure everyone was there based on Grae's orders— he counted everyone in the sky, on the riders, then inside the wagon...

(https://i.imgur.com/mcXvbWE.png) "W-Wait! Wait! We forgot Joachim— he's not in the wago-"

Mid-panic, Milos had looked out the left side of the window to call out, only to see Joachim running alongside the wagon.

Claire followed Milos' gaze to watch Joachim running as well, but was soon interrupted by Aya adding herself to the wagon's occupants... as well as the question she posed.

(https://i.imgur.com/fqBmFlk.png) "We should all be fine, but the prince's men..." Godric might be helping to tend to those who were wounded, but she was almost sure that there were less men with the prince than they had started with.

It always seemed easy for Grae to address the prince, but she felt a little uncomfortable doing so, especially for a question like this. Instead she tried to catch the attention of a certain ranking officer and magician (who, as her mind helpfully thought to remind her, Aya had once thrown into a wall).

The Major hadn't taken off his helmet following the battle, but it swiveled toward Claire. He didn't immediately answer, but, "...Davis, Miller, and Ainz. So three."

(https://i.imgur.com/gSxhCug.png) Outside the wagon, Ella pressed her head against Wolfgang's shoulders. "I'm sorry."

Two days of rough riding followed. The wagon barely stopped for more than a half hour at a time, to give time to rest the horses as much as possible, and to dump healing magic into them to keep them on their hooves. The group wasn't subjected to another attack, but every rustle in the trees or stirring of the bushes startled the Prince's soldiers. Eventually, however, the group found themselves cresting a hill, beyond which lay the lake town of Mendisoro, where the journey, for the mercenaries and their laguz companions at least, had begun.

(https://i.imgur.com/ebLAHUI.png) Even from so far, it was clear that Mendisoro was teeming with significantly greater numbers than when the group had last seen it. Even so, this was the last hurdle. The job was nearly finished. All that remained was to deliver the princess to the King. "Looks like we finally made it. Aurelia, fly ahead of us and let the King's men know that we're here, if you would."

(https://i.imgur.com/TK1kpI3.png) "So many... Did father assemble a war party?"

(https://i.imgur.com/a0LIAxr.png) "He may have. Perhaps Grae's men did not return you fast enough, and he intends to recover you himself." Steelhart made a noise, but the Prince ignored it. "We're here now though, so we should be able to stop your father from doing anything rash, don't you think?"

(https://i.imgur.com/gSxhCug.png) "I hope so."

(https://i.imgur.com/6lwqgFM.png)"R-Right, going!" Aurelia said - she'd been a bit surprised by how many laguz were visible just from where they were. She took a running start and then took off, flying down towards the city to do as asked.

Post by: Blade Master Model 42 on September 10, 2020, 09:09:24 pm
It wasn't a long way to go, and Aurelia was soon approaching the outer limits of the town. In turn, she was approached by three large Laguz men. "Identify yourself! Are you with those humans?" One of them, a bare chested man with long dark hair, pointed behind her at the wagon now slowly making its way down the hill. His associates, more modestly dressed, said nothing, but scowled at her anyway.
Title: Re: Fire Emblem on Forums: Laguz Test Game IC
Post by: Twinwolf on September 14, 2020, 09:52:03 pm
Aurelia got the sense that was a... loaded question. So when she landed, it was far enough to not be in easy lunge range.

(https://i.imgur.com/6lwqgFM.png)"Yes, but they're the human mercenaries hired by King Himos, along with the laguz selected by him..." she said. She nearly mentioned the princess, but remembered just in time it wasn't common knowledge that she'd disappeared. "So... we would speak with him at once."
Title: Re: Fire Emblem on Forums: Laguz Test Game IC
Post by: Blade Master Model 42 on September 16, 2020, 09:53:25 pm
The apparent leader of the group opened his mouth to say something, but was cut off by one of the other two with him. "That's right! I saw the selection process! You kicked my buddy Anzu straight in the face! It was awesome, he still whines about losing the spot!"

The leader gave him a look before turning back to Aurelia. "Alright, good enough for me. You wait here. I'll inform the King that you've arrived." The man turned on his heel and transformed into a cat, bounding away.

A few minutes later, a massive crimson lion charged out of the crowd gathered in the town below, running straight past Aurelia to intercept the wagon, stopping to return to the form recognizable as King Himos.

(https://i.imgur.com/ZgGxrPX.png) "Steelhart! My daughter! Did you fi- Ella!" The princess was already climbing down from the prince's horse, and the two embraced a little ways ahead of the wagon. The King lifted his daughter into the air, spinning once before bringing her into a crushing hug. "Oh Ella! My dear daughter! Your father was so frightened for you! I'm so glad to see you safe and sound. Ugh, but you stink of human!"

(https://i.imgur.com/gSxhCug.png) "Father, more gently, please..." The lord of the cats eased his hold ever so slightly, and turned his head to Grae.

(https://i.imgur.com/ZgGxrPX.png) "You have my thanks, mercenary. My choice to call on you for aid was the right one. You will have your promised payment, but..." The King looked at the collection of riders, and the wagon. "...I will only pay what I promised to those you brought before me when you accepted the task. You will not be given more just for bringing more mercenaries."

(https://i.imgur.com/ebLAHUI.png) "I wouldn't dream of it. My organization prides itself on taking only what is agreed upon. The stated one hundred and five thousand for my group will be quite sufficient. And these men aren't mine anyway."

(https://i.imgur.com/a0LIAxr.png) "Your Majesty. These men are under my command. I am Prince Wolfgang Gault, heir to the throne of Morcia. I've come to discuss terms of peace between our great nations, as well as-"

(https://i.imgur.com/ZgGxrPX.png) Himos whirled to Grae, deftly pushing Ella behind himself. "You brought Morcian soldier within my borders? You will explain your treachery, now!"

(https://i.imgur.com/ebLAHUI.png) "Wasn't my idea. He wouldn't let us bring the princess back to you unless he tagged along with his honor guard. You paid us quite a bit, but not enough for Regicide."

(https://i.imgur.com/ZgGxrPX.png) The King advanced upon Wolfgang, who was still on his horse. "You were holding my daughter? You have made your last mistake coming into my borders of your own accord then!" Himos was stopped as Ella grabbed onto his right wrist from behind.

(https://i.imgur.com/gSxhCug.png) "No father, that isn't so! Wolfgang rescued me from outlaws in his lands! He merely wishes to keep me safe. Because... well, because..." Ella's voice trailed off, leaving a heavy silence.

(https://i.imgur.com/a0LIAxr.png) The prince spoke up, in defiance of the leaden mood. "I wish to parley with you, Oh great King Himos. Not only for peace between our realms, but also... I wish for your daughter's hand."

There was a brief moment before the violence began. Himos, King of Sampia and Lord of the Cats, turned back to look upon the scarlet face of his only daughter, who could not bring herself to speak or to meet his eye. Then, back to this Prince, this Wolfgang Gault. Himos was like lightning, returning to his lion form, and soaring through the open space between himself and the Prince. Wolfgang was knocked out of the saddle, and had the King's paw pressed against his throat as he lay flat on the ground, helplessly pushing against the paw, trying desperately to force it off of his neck.
Title: Re: Fire Emblem on Forums: Laguz Test Game IC
Post by: RedMageCole on September 16, 2020, 10:17:51 pm
Milos didn't like King Himos one bit, and it was definitely not a shocker as to why that was the case to anyone. Those scathing words haunted him from day one of this journey, the ghost that followed him throughout every step of the way and threatened to undo all of his progress if he so much as made one wrong step. He was content with not making eye contact, staying in the back of the wagon and watching from afar to make sure everything went well. So... this was the end of the journey, it seemed. Milos peeked over at all of the Laguz that had traveled with him— everyone, along every step of the way, had a hand in helping him. Even if sometimes, that help was a little hard to swallow.

But those were just the assignments.

The real test began now.

Stars seemed to form in Milos's head the second King Himos shifted into his beast form and began to savage Prince Wolfgang. He shivered, paralyzed with fear for just a brief moment— terror gripped him by the neck like icy fangs, reminding him that he was...

...Not...

Not a coward...

Not. A. Coward.

As if fighting through a blizzard, Milos rose from the wagon and jumped off, approaching the monster and the man who had only done his best to be accommodating. Milos wanted to scream, go back, not jeopardize the mission. He didn't wish to hear, see or speak of what was happening. And yet his ears had flown open to listen to the growls and roars that he feared so much, his eyes gazed upon the very terror that hindered him this whole time... and his mouth opened to speak.

(https://i.imgur.com/TpwnqqD.png) "Leave him alone! We got your daughter back and he helped us! He's willing to make peace, why do you have to be so horrible to him for no reason!?"

It all came out as a scream— Milos knew that that was the best course of action. His whimpering would not get him anywhere, and if nothing else it gave him a way to vent out loud without shrieking in terror like he would normally. And yet, despite his bold words, his legs still quaked with terror, his arms shaking and begging to reach for his sword for self-defense immediately before the King could speak or threaten him. Sweat was visible on his forehead and his heart looked to be ready to pound out of his chest... but not once did Milos lose his ground.
Title: Re: Fire Emblem on Forums: Laguz Test Game IC
Post by: Blade Master Model 42 on September 17, 2020, 10:17:38 pm
Himos didn't even look up from Wolfgang's increasingly red face at Milos' words. He was startled, at least, when he was tackled by a small, pink lioness. For a moment, he was knocked off of the Prince's neck. Ella returned to her humanoid form, pleading with her father.

(https://i.imgur.com/TiWvyaV.png) "Please! Don't do this! Prince Wolfgang came here in good faith, please! I love him father!"

(https://i.imgur.com/ZgGxrPX.png) The King reverted as well, and placed a heavy foot on Wolfgang's chest, eliciting a pained groan. "My daughter, you have been deceived. Not only are the soldiers of Morcia upon us, here to make war, but this thing-" Himos shifted more weight to the foot on top of Wolfgang, and the Prince wheezed. "-has deceived you! There is little doubt in my mind that he sent so called 'outlaws' to capture you, that he could play hero, and win your heart as a pretense to bring his soldiers to kill me. The fool must have thought me weak!"

(https://i.imgur.com/ZgkMwUv.png) "That's not- not true! I- GAH!" The Prince was silenced by the weight of the King once more.

(https://i.imgur.com/TiWvyaV.png) "I'm telling you, no! Wolfgang and I met long before I was captured. I went to see him often, when I told you I was training... I was going to meet him after I found out we were to be at war, and he came to save me because he truly cares for me! I am not a child father, you have to listen to me!"

(https://i.imgur.com/ZgGxrPX.png) "...How long has this secret tryst been going on? And why did you not tell me?"

(https://i.imgur.com/TiWvyaV.png) "Because I knew you would stop me! Or do this!" Ella pointed at Wolfgang's prone form accusingly. The King's foot didn't move.

(https://i.imgur.com/opesEr2.png) "As enraptured as I am with this discussion," Grae interrupted, from a healthy distance away from the King. "Your Majesty, you mentioned your borders had been invaded? We were assaulted by men and women of Sampia on our way here. I don't suppose that intelligence is the incursion you're talking about?"

(https://i.imgur.com/ZgGxrPX.png) "...No. I was informed of what happened to you at the pass, and I relayed instructions that you would not be pursued further, but I speak of the full host of the Morcian Army, led by their General Whart. I've made preparations for a counter attack. We will drive them from our lands."

(https://i.imgur.com/opesEr2.png) "And here I was thinking we'd been lucky in evading pursuit. Also, not to butt in, but everything the Prince has said to me matches what he's said to you. He's kind of a prick, but not a bad guy."

(https://i.imgur.com/gSxhCug.png) "Father, please..."

(https://i.imgur.com/a0LIAxr.png) "Let me- let me prove it to you. I will lead my men against the General, and I will take us back to our own borders. Then, we can speak of peace. What say you?"

(https://i.imgur.com/ZgGxrPX.png) Himos looked down at the Prince, and moved his foot away. "My own warriors will be more than sufficient. And quite capable of shredding the weaklings you brought with you, should you prove treacherous. I doubt you would be of much help with such meager numbers."

(https://i.imgur.com/NUQ0vSy.png) "Perhaps that is so..." Wolfgang sat up gingerly, and turned his head toward Grae and the others. "Steelhart! You're not under contract at the moment. Is that not so?"

(https://i.imgur.com/605zc7v.png) Grae barked out a laugh. "It just so happens that we're freed up, yeah. We don't come cheap, if we come at all." Grae looked around at his subordinates. "So, who's in?"
Title: Re: Fire Emblem on Forums: Laguz Test Game IC
Post by: RedMageCole on September 19, 2020, 03:31:07 pm
Milos felt himself paralyzed throughout Ella's actual action. He wanted to do something, anything besides just shout and be useless in general, but at the very least he knew that this was Ella's fight and not his. However, he tried to work on moving his joints in case an actual fight broke out... thankfully, it didn't seem like this was going to happen. Milos could admire Wolfgang's tenacity and wish to prove himself to King Himos— Milos didn't think Wolfgang owed this man anything.

In response to Grae, Milos took what seemed to be his first breath of that whole incident.

(https://i.imgur.com/TpwnqqD.png) "I'm in."

Nothing more was said on his end, as he needed to focus on both breathing and not passing out. Nothing else seemed appropriate, anyways.

(https://i.imgur.com/tQkYslA.png) Once all the mercenaries (and a couple of the laguz, curiously) had signaled their intent to come with, Grae turned back to the prince. "Very well. The Steelhart mercenaries are available for hire, and you have our full present strength at your disposal, should we accept your offer."

(https://i.imgur.com/NUQ0vSy.png) The prince had long since stood and dusted himself off. "Excellent. One hundred thousand should be quite suf-"

(https://i.imgur.com/ebLAHUI.png) "One hundred and fifty thousand." All the cheer and comradery had dropped from the Commander's voice.

(https://i.imgur.com/a0LIAxr.png) Wolfgang, for his part, stumbled at the demand. "Er... One hundred and twenty?"

(https://i.imgur.com/ebLAHUI.png) "Your highness, with respect, you are asking us to insert ourselves between a war with Morcia and Sampia. You have no other options, you are not in a position to bargain. One hundred and fifty thousand. Last chance."

(https://i.imgur.com/sTrkAqQ.png) "...Fine. You have my word, your organization will be paid the one hundred and fifty thousand as agreed upon, once the Morcian troops withdraw from Sampian territory."

(https://i.imgur.com/605zc7v.png) Grae's smile and easy tone returned, as if they had never left. "Always a pleasure to do business with royalty. Now, your highness, I was hoping we could discuss the issue of my group's equipment..." Grae draped his arm around Wolfgang's shoulder, and led the two around to the rear of the wagon.

(https://i.imgur.com/TiWvyaV.png) "...Steelhart is rather frightening in his own way, wouldn't you say father?"

(https://i.imgur.com/ZgGxrPX.png) The King grunted. "My elites, you will stay with this human prince. I expect his head to be turned over to me at the first sign of treachery. Ella, I will have you leave for the south. I wi-"

(https://i.imgur.com/gSxhCug.png) "Father. Where Wolfgang goes, I go. I have the right."

(https://i.imgur.com/ZgGxrPX.png) Himos snarled, then took a deep breath and released it. He placed his hands on Ella's shoulder, and leaned down to press his own forehead to hers. "Ella, my sweet, dear daughter. I know you believe this to be right. But I would do much to keep you from danger. Please, try to listen to your father."

(https://i.imgur.com/TK1kpI3.png) The princess stepped back from her father, resolute. "I am asking you, father. Show me as much trust as you show my brothers. Show me as much trust as you show your love."

(https://i.imgur.com/ZgGxrPX.png) The King stood still, hands flexing for what seemed quite a long time. "If you can not be made to see reason, I will not force you." He turned to Joachim and Heledd. "Take care to see that my daughter goes unharmed. I will bring another of our kind to see to your protection..."

(https://i.imgur.com/TiWvyaV.png) Ella pointed to the other Tiger that the group had acquired. "Raajak is extremely capable. I have seen him fight for myself. He is a Laguz of great honor."

(https://i.imgur.com/ZgGxrPX.png) "...As you wish. I must return to the war party. We've made preparations to leave at first light to meet the invaders."  Himos picked up his daughter into another crushing hug. "Please be safe. And if any doubt at all comes to you of this human, leave him. For my sake."

(https://i.imgur.com/TiWvyaV.png) "I love you father." With that, the King made his way back down the hill to the town.

(https://i.imgur.com/ebLAHUI.png) Grae and Wolfgang chose this moment to return from the wagon. "Looks like the Prince's men brought some extra weapons in case things got ugly, and we've been given access to those supply. I suggest everyone take anything they need, I know we haven't had a chance to resupply for a while."

Storage is now available!

Claire didn't ask twice, already gathering her robes and hurrying to the wagon to look through the tomes. If she was embarrassed about looking greedy in front of the prince's men, she tried her best not to show it - when this sort of opportunity was given, it needed to be taken for all that it was. That was something in the spirit of the third law, after all.

Put Fire in storage, take Icicle Shower x2, Arcthunder, and a vulnerary.

Milos sifted through the convoy himself, taking out a finely-crafted sword. He gave it a swing— it was slightly on the heavy side, but he was content with it.

Aurelia didn't really need to grab any weapons for herself, but she stuck near the convoy anyway. When Milos left it, she followed.

(https://i.imgur.com/96dBfNr.png)"Uh, hey..." she said, a little awkwardly. "I just wanted to ask... are you feeling alright, after that thing with Himos?" Gosh she hoped she wasn't being rude asking, she was worried but she didn't want to sound condescending...

Milos didn't jump at all at Aurelia's sudden arrival— instead welcoming her presence

(https://i.imgur.com/cBb8RbO.png) "Oh... Aurelia... I'm fine," Milos said with a little nod. "He's... still scary, I won't lie, and I wish I could have done a little more than just yell at him and easily get ignored... but I'm okay, I think. Thank you..." He still seemed a little on edge, but it wasn't anything serious. At the very least, he wasn't fidgeting or anything.

Milos's cheeks tinged a light pink at Aurelia calling him brave.

(https://i.imgur.com/S8AMzEe.png) "You... really think so? I mean, I was kind of just... worried that I didn't do enough, honestly... b-but yeah, what matters is that everything is hopefully going to be okay...! J-Just as long as we succeed in our mission..."

Whatever little bits of anxiety that were leftover inside of Milos had all but dissipated at this point.

A long, tense night came for the warriors of Sampia. A true attack on their homeland had not come for generations, and was now suddenly at their doorsteps. Some were filled with dread, others anticipation, but few were calm, and fewer still found it easy to rest for the coming battle. At first light, as the sun peeked up over the horizon, the warcamp was brought to life by the roar of the King. The assembled Laguz swarmed to activity, readying their march to war. In under an hour, the earth rumbled beneath the footfalls of the Laguz. By midday, the Laguz met Morcia's troops in the field, and the smell of fire and blood spread throughout the forest...

But Steelhart's group was well removed from it, circling around the battlefield, seeking to reach the rear of Morcia's formation. On the march, Wolfgang had made his intentions clear to the mercenaries: He would make his way to the commanding forces of the first group they could encounter, so long as it wasn't already engaged with the Sampians, take command under his authority as Prince, and from there be taken to General Whart, the apparent leader of the invasion. As one of most hawkish members of the Morcian military, it was possible that Whart would not stand down, but with a full company behind the Prince, Wolfgang was confident he could force it.

Unfortunately, the first group that the mercenaries were able to find was already in the process of burning down a small village...

She felt the wind shift around her, a breeze that caught in her hair and was gone again. When it was this way, it was almost easy for her to forget that she wielded it as a weapon.

Claire felt her footsteps become light as Grae rallied everyone to charge, and before her the others crashed into the enemy line, claws and talons wreaking havoc. She took several steps forward, her hand on her fading tome, and called the magic within, the feeling of it surging forth as familiar as an old friend.

Soft, as it parted around Aya. Hard, as it coalesced into an edge as sharp as any blade.

Silver lining; there weren't any beasts on the field. Even then, Milos wasn't sure he'd be cowering in fear as he would have before. Brandishing his sword, Milos took a breath and prepared to rush into the fray.
