From sickles to swords

"Me an' Button here will do whatever it takes t' protect Aurora!"

[aurouta]

ranseiuniter‌:

I’ll never be as good as Katsu was. Souta has always been a little brother, a kid–somebody she needed to protect. He’d always been anxious to grow up, to get stronger… All Hiroko had ever wanted was to let him be a kid.Now he was all grown up. When did that happen?

“S-Souta… Listen–I appreciate it. I really do, but–you don’t have to. You could be doing - anything. I don’t want you to worry yourself over me, okay? Besides, Alola–Alola is plenty safe. I don’t need a retainer right now.”

  “Please, Ah can’t do anythin’. Ah get too hyper and distracted. Ah can’t imagine how patient ya had to be to train me durin’ th’ war. Th’ only thing Ah seem t’ be good at is cookin’, and that’s nothin’, not when Ma’s so much better.” He plays with the bottom of his shirt, looking off to the side.

  “Ah don’ wanna just do nothin’ though. An’ Ah got worried over everythin’ that’s been happenin’. Ah---” He can’t help but sniffle a bit, quickly rubbing at his eyes. “Ah don’t want somethin’ t’ happen t’ you too....”

[aurouta]

ranseiuniter‌:

“Ah–” She doesn’t even know what to say. All she can do for a moment is gape at him, at a loss for words. Finally, Hiroko, sighs, running a hand through her bangs. This boy was going to be the death of her one day, she swears… “Why?”

  “W-well, b’cause----” He fidgets with his hands, uncharacteristically nervous. “B’cause-- so Ah can---” Finally, his hands clench into fists. “Ah wanna protect you, Hiroko-sama! Ah know M’not th’ best choice, but I’ll make sure ya don’ get hurt! I’ll never be as good as Katsu was, but Ah can’t just stand by an do nothin’ anymore. S’time to stop bein’ a kid!”

[ranseiuniter-archive]

    “Souta, what are you doing here?! I thought I told you to stay in Aurora!” How long had he been tailing her? And more importantly, how had she not noticed until now?! She’d only been in Alola for a day or two, which meant there was no way he’d taken another ship, so– “Did you stowaway?!” | @aurouta

[aurouta]

  “Ya did, but Ah can’ jus’ leave yer side! So, Ah stowed away in yer ship before it left. Don’t worry, Hirokohimesama! Ah promise not t’ get in yer way! S’like Ah won’ even be here.” Well, she hadn’t noticed till now, after all. He could just hide away again and she just wouldn’t know again.

  “Hirokohimesama, Hirokohimesama!!” He runs up to her, stopping a few feet away, out of breath. He’s bent over, hands on his knees as he takes a moment to breathe. When he straightens back up, there are tears in his eyes. 

  “A-Ah’m sorry Ah couldn’ pr’tect th’ flag, Hirokohimesama! Ah tried, Ah really did!”

Roast my Muse!

On anon or not, do your best to make my Muse mad! Bonus points for being funny, or leaving hints on who your muse really is, if you’re on anon.

[aurouta]

Dear Hirokohimesama,

I got to Kanto safely, and I even got some of those ‘starter Pokemon’ you told me about. He’s a Bulbasaur named Cabbage. I also found a Gengar in Virdian Forest, and named him Konpeito II. They’re both growin’ up big an’ strong, and we even already got our first badge! I wanna catch more Pokemon, so I can have even more friends to bring along, but it feels weird using the Pokeballs. Maybe it’s just a Warrior thing, bein’ so used to linking with our partners.

I wonder if I can link with Cabbage or Konpeito II.

-- Souta

#hiro vc this is why souta is my favorite

  BIG SPARKLY SOUTA EYES!!!!

[aurouta]

  Souta's trying to sneakily take the poor Bidoof away from the strange man. Gotta save the poor thing. Doni should thank him.

[ranseiuniter-archive]

aurouta:

  “Ya really think Ah could? Prove ‘em wrong, Ah mean.” He tents his fingers, smiling a little. “Ah mean, Ah try t’ be all strong an’ stuff, but I jus’ wanna be able t’ protect you an’ Aurora and all my friends here. But, Ah guess in a way, that does make me stronger, hunh?” It was sappy, he knew, but he couldn’t count how many times he wanted to give up, only to remember just what he was fighting for. He joined the army for a reason after all.

    “Come on, who was it that helped train you?” She teases, playfully elbowing him in the arm. “Plus with how few warriors we have, you’d damn well better be able to prove them wrong, otherwise I would’ve sent you back home a long time ago.” 

    Hiroko retrieves the “helmet” from Button and puts it back on Souta’s head. “And just think: thanks to you and all the others, I’m the empress now. That means if you really want I could get you a real helmet.”

[aurouta]

  "Would you have really? Ah mean, no offense, but couldn' we have used all the warriors we could get. Even if one or two aren' very strong? Ah mean---" He smiles a hit, hoping to lighten the mood of his last statement. "Ya kept Doni around."

  His eyes grow wide as he grins. "A real helmet?" He then seems to grow almost nervous. "A-Ah don' know, Hirokohimesama. D'ya really think Ah deserve somethin' like that? Ah mean, don' ya think th' money could be used for somethin' more important?"

[ranseiuniter-archive]

aurouta:

  Souta seems to almost pout as he pulls the pot off and stares at it in his hands. “I jus’ wanted t’ be sure everyone else could get armor an’ stuff. Well, at first. An’ then it jus’ kinda became my ‘thing,’ Ah guess.” A small sigh and he puts the pot on Button’s head. “Ah guess it was pretty stupid, though.”

    “Come on, Souta. You were just trying to help.” …Well, okay, she was still pretty convinced a pot wouldn’t actually help, but it was the thought that mattered. Plus that would be the wrong thing to bring up right now. “It’s not like Aurora’s reputation is your fault. They’re always gonna think of us that way. And you know what? If people think we’re weak just because we’re poor, you can show ‘em just how wrong they are.”

[aurouta]

  "Ya really think Ah could? Prove 'em wrong, Ah mean." He tents his fingers, smiling a little. "Ah mean, Ah try t' be all strong an' stuff, but I jus' wanna be able t' protect you an' Aurora and all my friends here. But, Ah guess in a way, that does make me stronger, hunh?" It was sappy, he knew, but he couldn't count how many times he wanted to give up, only to remember just what he was fighting for. He joined the army for a reason after all.

[ranseiuniter-archive]

aurouta:

  P— pity?!“ He’s quiet for a few moments before looking at his feet. “You don’ think people act'ally pity me, do ya? I-I don’ need no pity! M'strong, right?” He looks to Button for reassurance, who nods back.

    “Souta, no offence, but you’re running around with a pot on your head. Pair that with Aurora’s reputation and I don’t think you look very ‘strong’ to the rest of Ransei at large.” A sigh. “If it makes you feel any better, no one around here pities you. We know you.”

[aurouta]

  Souta seems to almost pout as he pulls the pot off and stares at it in his hands. "I jus' wanted t' be sure everyone else could get armor an' stuff. Well, at first. An' then it jus' kinda became my 'thing,' Ah guess." A small sigh and he puts the pot on Button's head. "Ah guess it was pretty stupid, though."

[ranseiuniter-archive]

aurouta:

  “Hey, it worked, didn’ it?”

    “Probably because they all took pity on you and decided not to kill you.” Besides, it’s not like he’s ever taken a good enough hit to the head with that dumb thing on to prove it.

[aurouta]

  P--- pity?!" He's quiet for a few moments before looking at his feet. "You don' think people act'ally pity me, do ya? I-I don' need no pity! M'strong, right?" He looks to Button for reassurance, who nods back.

[ranseiuniter-archive]

    “…I know Aurora is poor, but a pot for a helmet? Really?”

[aurouta]

  "Hey, it worked, didn' it?"
