//Random ship generator: Here, let’s pair Stevie and Cloud. 

Me: Their only interaction has been him telling her that she’d probably get kidnapped.

“Oh, okay!” The smile was back and she curtsied.  “Hi, I’m Stevie!” 

Well.  That was easy.  He paused for a moment, considering if he wanted to introduce himself or not.

And then he sighed.

“Cloud,” he said, and that was it.

[butterfliesareforchasing]

“It’s good to meet you Cloud.” She wasn’t exactly the suspicious sort. Besides the music around him was hardly ominous. “I’m sorry I ran into you. I wasn’t paying attention.”

“Oh your hair is beautiful.” Yup, here she is in Corona on a mission and as usual got distracted.

“Why thank you.” She tended to get that a lot, but sometimes it wasn’t something to be thankful for. This girl didn’t seem the sort though and Rapunzel felt like she was a fairly good judge of character now. “Yours is too! Such a lovely color.”

[butterfliesareforchasing]

Stevie had to marvel at how long and thick it was. And such a bright vibrant color. “Thank you! Although it’s not my real color, I’m afraid.” Her violet eyes were bright. “Yours practically glows. How do you manage it?”

He shook his head.  “Kidnapping’s not really my style,” he said.  And he’d never been asked to do it in his so far short career as a mercenary.

““Oh, okay!” The smile was back and she curtsied.  “Hi, I’m Stevie!”

cloudonasunshineyday​: 

He paused as the girl just sort of… walked right into him, not paying attention at all.

“…you should pay attention.  Someone might kidnap you if you’re staring off into space.” Was he being a little extreme?  Yes.

She smiled up at him. “I think I’ll be alright.”  Her magic was generally able to get her out of most situations.  A pause as a thought suddenly occurred to her, perhaps a second too late, and she stepped back carefully.  “...unless you are planning on it....”

Someone was more focused on watching a bird than where she was going.  At least until she stumbled into Cloud.  “Ack!  Oh...um...sorry.”

[butterfliesareforchasing]

ofmusicandmagic​:

He put a hand to his mouth, just trying to hide a laugh he was having a hard time holding back. “Perhaps so. I know I’ve had that problem in the past, but it was usually with women.”

Stevie giggled, noting his struggle to keep from laughing.  “There’s a first time for everything.”

[butterfliesareforchasing]

ofmusicandmagic​: 

“Indeed. Or I could approach him and see if he’d be willing to learn from me, rather than making an excuse.”

“You’re one of the best, brother.” She suddenly grinned.  “You might be too pretty for him to stay focused though.”

[butterfliesareforchasing]

ofmusicandmagic​:

He shrugged at that. “He can learn and be taught if he likes. That’s what we’re all here at this school for. I’m just aware of the reputation he tries so hard to spread.”

“I guess his motivations will be seen if he’ll actually sit and learn or if he’ll waste time.”  She was aware of his reputation she just hadn’t put much thought into it.

[butterfliesareforchasing]

ofmusicandmagic​: 

He arched an eyebrow at that. “Is that so? Considering most healers here are women, are we sure his intentions are entirely pure?”

Stevie shrugged.  “Your guess is as good as mine, Tempera.  I haven’t ever said more than a few words to him so I can’t tell.   But if he wants to learn he should have the chance, shouldn’t he?”

“Annette told me yesterday that Sylvain was looking for a study partner in healing magic.” 

[butterfliesareforchasing]

crestblooded​: 

“Yes!  I’ve been trying to learn as much as possible.  Ashe is also teaching me to use a bow, and Professor Manuela is going to give me lessons in being a Dancer.  I bet if you’d like you could join me for either!”

“I’d love to be a Dancer,” She confessed.  “Dancing is like a physical expression of music, you know?  Just being able to use that to help others too is a dream.”

@butterfliesareforchasing​

“Are you learning sword as well?  I’ve found it to be quite fascinating!”

[butterfliesareforchasing]

“I’m excited too.” Stevie grinned at the other girl. “I think it’ll be very handy in the event that magic isn’t an option.” 

[butterfliesareforchasing]

ofmusicandmagic​: 

“Well, it is a different set of skills.” Tempera shrugged, the smile still on his lips.  “And of course there are plenty of people around here who can teach you how to fight with a sword, including our own professor.”

“I know Professor Manuela’s started teaching Flayn.  I was going to ask if she’d be willing to teach me too.”  Besides it was easier to wield magic and a sword at the same time rather than magic and a lance.  

Or so she had found. 

[butterfliesareforchasing]

ofmusicandmagic​: 

“That is true.  Many of our peers come from families that are quite a bit stricter on them.” And then he pulled his eyes from the pegasus.  “And you, Stevie?  Have you been making any friends?”

She had heard enough about the girls, at least, being expected to marry who their fathers had chosen for them.  Or they had come with the expectation to snare a spouse that would be an advantage.  It made her grateful that such a restriction hadn’t ever been laid on her. 

Maybe she was just too young for it to be as big a deal. 

“A few.  Ingrid’s been showing me how to use a lance when she has time.  I’m not very good with it yet though.  I think I’ll have more luck with a sword.”
