a hero’s guilt meme pt. 2
vvallcrawler:
“Don’t listen to them. You did EVERYTHING you could.”
“NONE of this is your fault. None of it.”
“We save as many as we CAN, to make up for those we COULDN’T. It’s all we can do.”
“This was OUTSIDE your CONTROL. Don’t beat yourself up over it.”
“Hey, it’s FINE, okay? Everyone’s safe.”
“You did good, kid.”
“I’m proud of you. We ALL are.”
“That was INCREDIBLE! – YOU were incredible! … What’s wrong?”
“You can’t save them all… and that’s okay.”
“No one’s expecting you to be EVERYONE’S hero.“
“There are just some battles we can’t win.”
“Look, your heart is in the right place. Just– be more CAREFUL, next time, alright?”
“They may not see it now, but you’re going to do AMAZING things.”
“You saved LIVES today. That’s all that matters.”
“Well, you’re definitely a HERO in my book.”
so recently i picked up ffxv for the first time and it’s a bit of an understatement to say that it has consumed me hahaha
COMMANDSUNG / ravus .
too much grief, too much pain stinging at body, mind, and soul. what was one to do with it ? all the troubles that had occurred could have been easily changed had he not been so stupid, not wanting to see that he’d been lead astray by the very people who had now taken so much from him.
eyes shifting to look at the other, frown pulling at features noticing scars once more. he wishes he’d been there to truly help, that he hadn’t stormed off and left him alone. perhaps then, the other wouldn’t have made the same mistake he himself had. natural fingers reaches up to touch prosthetic shoulder before dropping to side once more.
‘ shame does not keep me from speaking. nor does possibility of judgement. ’ rather the words did not want to come, were not easily available to self. a sigh is pushed through nose, eyes dropping down to feet as troubled mind swirls. ‘ i…have many regrets from the past few days, the past decade. things i wish i could correct. perhaps circumstances would be different. ’
great pause. such silence to settle around the pair, like fog edging upon the ease of a drowsy morning.
ignis could cast understanding towards ravus in all his hesitance, in the ashes of his remorse & contrition as he marvels upon the passing years. differing events that may have not fallen upon the path the group had walked on. he could hardly say that he knew the commander in all his pride & hardly knew of what his own way had led to.
❛ ... alas, such a possibility cannot happen. the past is to remain where it stands & we linger upon the precipice of a future that we cannot quite assess. ❜ he murmured, lips pursed as he heaved a sigh & tilted his head down, allowing sightless eyes to drift. idle actions, truly.
a hum as he straightened his back. ❛ i can only fathom the things that i wish i had done differently as well. the downtrodden sensation that claims me when i realize that there is nothing more than i can do comes to me on some days. it is tiresome... yet i will not allow it to consume me. ❜
this just in: icons are a pain
catch me on discord, y’all ! mutuals only and lemme know who you are !
COMMANDSUNG / ravus .
@charsight / from [ x ]
eyes soften, gaze unfocused as words wash over worry addled brain. what was he supposed to say to that ? to such kind words that a man such as he didn’t deserve ? a shake of head given, soft scoff leaving lips as hands ( disgust registering at touch of false fingers ) cover face to hide the sorrow clearly beginning to etch its way onto visage.
‘ i don’t think i hold any of the regality i once did. ’
none of the elegance that once came with the name ravus nox fleuret could be found. rather a sad man was there in his place, one that didn’t know how to handle the hand he’d been dealt. hands drop from face, mismatch hues settle on prosthetic, before moving to settle on man at side.
‘ though i appreciate your kind words. ’
digits that had originally inched out to reach for the other would retract, so sensible as to catch the change in the air between the two. there was so much weight to ravus’s shoulders, a chain that seemed to endlessly tug upon an ankle — dragging him deeper to the depths of his own disgust & ever present grief.
over loss of another. over the chaos that now began to reign over a land once dressed in light. over the countless failures that linger in the air, thick as the corrupted smog of the daemons.
though there is an inability to truly see ravus, he can gather an idea of what now stands before him. the sympathy does not give way upon features but it twinges in the depths of his soul as distance would close ever so slightly. ❛ you know, there is no shame in speaking of how you feel. one can never judge someone in deep pain. ❜
a closed book is what ignis is faced with. though the spines slowly begin to unravel as time passes & all that is left are pages barely clinging in desperation to stay together.
me: I’m not really a ‘legs’ person Ignis Scientia: *exists* me: oh no
forces him into a chair. he needs to rest for a bit. gladio can do the cleaning. after all, ignis had done all the other work for their meal that evening.
a soft collision with the folded chair behind a form. there was a slight slouch to his posture today ( almost unnoticeable as recalcitrance would beckon to him ; ease their aching with a warm meal ) . it was something that could easily be attributed to a day’s rough activities reaching a lull as they were safely tucked away at the campsite.
soon enough, the food was cooked & relaxation was taken in lenient conversation — laughter to fill the air as stars fill the darkened sky. right after the plates were settled & noctia alongside prompto had retired to carry their conversation on in the tent, ignis was quite ready to tend to the dishes, rising with ease only to be pushed back down.
there gladiolus stands above with a cocked brow & pointed look towards him ( rest your weary head & let him tend to the rest ) before he continued on. ignis almost — doesn’t quite do so but almost — laughs at the act but there is a gracious glint in his eyes as he leaned back.
blows in his ear
hastened shudder to trail down his spine, shoulders risen in dictated alarm. prior to this, he was occupied in looking over directions upon a map to assist in search of a necessary location. a small quest or two would make need for that, after all. & in that, he did not hear the trailing steps of aranea in all her mischievous glory until an exhale leaves parted lips to brush against his ear.
a hand would raise to cover the offended body part, gaze flitting to her with arched brows.
❛ i may have to ask you to refrain from that. was there something you desired, miss aranea ? ❜
“ i have trouble looking at you. ” he shines so bright, it almost hurts ardyn's eyes.
recognition would be cast toward the past for the man who walks with confident swagger & sealed lips beyond inexplicable phrasing deserving of scrutiny. never afraid to meet their eyes as he states whatever he desires ; a sway of the hand & drift of dark fabric to punctuate his wording. it is how he arrived to the chamberlain now, with honeyed words & a loll of the head.
ignis could not grasp a fragment of a memory that molded itself to the words between them right now. he does not know that he apparently stood as a beacon, a figure of light — or perhaps something more, something that the stranger could not grasp fully. this is a personal moment between them, if anything. no shields nor gunslingers nor royalty to stand alongside him. though he may have preferred it that way — noctis was safer, not to be the subject of another prying jeer.
still… why though ? what does he mean ?
❛ trouble ? ❜ & so he would face ardyn fully then, an underlying note of wonder in his voice. ❛ i almost want to inquire as to why you say that. ❜
bit of poetry / closed.
"ignis, let us have a cat."
❛ a cat. ❜ he echoed, arms crossing over his chest. such an interesting suggestion to be faced with. & so sudden too ! chosen to be asked when they’re aiming to set up camp for the eve with only the distant conversation & laughter of gladio and prompto to fill the air.
❛ now, are you sure you are capable of taking care of said cat ? there are many factors to take in when actually having a pet. ❜

“ don’t look at me like that. ”
perhaps it is the flicker of green or the way his head tilted ever so slightly to the side, but therein lays humor before the chamberlain. tiers twitch at the edges as he sat back in his seat, legs crossed & sight expectant. he does not speak just yet, rather demonstrates patience.
it’s over the moment that those words leave the shield’s lips, a futile last line of defense.
❛ it would only be a short trip. i’m certain that you could spare some time for such a thing, correct ? ❜ a prodding murmur. a slight lean forward.
bit of poetry / accepting.
“ i’m sorry that i come as an expired body, already worn and already unbecoming. ”
digits take pause as a visage of consideration would look upon the man before him, words spoken lowly to the quietude between them. scourge lined & falling to pieces, becoming an echo of what ravus nox fleuret was.
❛ hardly so. you look as flattering and regal as you carry yourself. ❜ elegance bled, a breezing presence of power & stoicism that hid something further beneath its icy surface. he is careful to not show pity, offer no such emotion to a man so prideful as he looked to him. ❛ i am sorry for the hand that you were dealt. ❜
bit of poetry / accepting.
“ don’t look at me like that. ”
❛ was i staring ? my sincerest apologies. ❜ a gentle bow of the head before he stands straight once more, genuine in his words. his gaze strayed, lingered far too long on her & he had been caught at an unfortunate moment.
bit of poetry / accepting.
