Leonardo’s gaze was fixated on the scroll before him, scanning over the tasks he had yet to complete. Inventory and patrols-- there was still much for him to accomplish and the day was nearly halfway done.

He was aware of a presence as it neared him, yet he did little to acknowledge it-- his eyes remained on the paper he held and his head didn’t turn in the slightest. Instead, he simply blinked and spoke to the one behind him, his voice carrying a low, uninterested tone.

“Is there something I can help you with?”

After a long day of work, Leonardo had managed to acquire an agonizing headache. He had somehow fallen terribly behind in keeping track of the armory stock, and spent hours upon hours recounting everything at least three times to get it right. His work was never done, it seemed, and he already felt stressed retiring for the evening despite his declining condition and need for rest. His fingers were pressed against his temple as he walked, teeth grit in response to the pain.

He wasn’t able to get very far before a shadow in front of him caused for a pause in his movements, gaze lifting and eyes widening as he saw the one standing before him.

It took a moment for him to comprehend the situation and speak-- though the words were quiet and only to himself with a disdainful tone, as he thought himself to be hallucinating. 

“I... really do not have the time for this.”

"I was training. Not that I want to have to use my sword for war again, but I’d like to keep in practice at least in case anything does happen." Edward replied resting a hand on the pommel of his sheathed sword. "And the hills outside Nevassa seemed like as good a place as any to train. But, I was just wrapping up anyways. So, what have you been up to Leo?"

[freedomsarrow]

"I see." He gave a silent sigh, momentarily closing his eyes. Memories of the war weren't a rare occurrence, but they never did sit well with him. And just the thought that their skills may be once again needed for battle unsettled him-- not that the possibility was something he could easily escape, what with the job and authority he had now.

"I've been working back at the Keep," he began, opening his eyes again to glance over at his friend. "Micaiah asked me to stay and watch over the army. I owe her everything-- really, it's the least I could do."

freedomsarrow interrupted your training.

“Huh? What is it? Oh! Leo! What’s up, pal?” the swordsman said, sheathing his blade and turning to face the archer, as he had been practicing his swordsmanship when his friend approached.

[freedomsarrow]

"Edward-- it really is you. What are you doing around here? It's already getting late." Leonardo took a couple of steps forward before pausing, placing his hand on his hip. It was surprising to find his old friend here. After all, it had been awhile since they last saw each other.

"Do you come around here often?"

A Peaceful Interval || Open

It was often hectic back at the keep-- rarely would there be a moment where there wasn't some sort of job or confusion that kept all the other workers and soldiers busy. And being in the position of authority that he was, Leonardo often found himself caught up in the middle of everything. It was stressful and draining work, no doubt, but it was significantly better than the battlefield. Almost anything would be. And he didn't particularly hate his job, either, no matter how irritating the people he worked beside could get.

Still, it was nice when he could get a moment to himself. Thankfully, it was one of those afternoons where the rare opportunity presented itself-- someone was needed to fill a post on one of the capital borders. It was a temporary fill, probably only until the soldier replenished some supplies, and so he wouldn't have to be gone for long.

The post was one of the most peaceful that one could be assigned. It simply covered a small clearing and the few trees that were dotted around the sides of it-- a very uneventful and hidden little place. A low, stone wall ran through the clearing, dusted with the snow that had been falling for hours now. It was the spot that Leonardo decided to station himself at for the time being, perched up atop the stone. The cold that seeped through his clothing did little to bother him, simply being something he was used to.

Many moments went by like that, just as silent and uneventful as the reports never failed to show. He was able to appreciate this quiet, all but completely dreading his return back to the base. His eyelids fell closed for just a moment, but when they reopened his attention was suddenly sparked. At the other end of the clearing was a silhouette. It couldn't possibly be the original soldier returning already-- they would have come from the other direction. 

He hopped down from the wall, landing with ease and reaching for the bow slung around his shoulder. It was hard to make out any sort of details through the falling snow, yet he strained his eyes in an effort to make them out nonetheless.

"Who's there?"

[freedomsarrow]

(( Hm so would anyone like a thread? I might just post a general open in a little while either way but if anyone wants to contact me or plot or anything then that's fine too! ))

[freedomsarrow]

(( Ok it's only been about a hundred years but I'm thinking about starting up this blog again ))

[truebladeofdawn]

"Okay! Just let me know a few hours or days in advance, and I’ll get everything in me." Edward grinned widely once again. He was actually really looking forward to Leonardo’s eventual visit, and, to be honest, he was fairly desperate. 

"It’s fine, Leo, you don’t have to apologize!" 

[freedomsarrow]

"All right, then. I'll make sure to do so..." He smiled again-- a bit more sincere this time. "If it's all right with you, I may go ahead and check it now. I wasn't doing anything important now anyway, and the Keep isn't too far from here." He glanced over to the direction he came from, trying to think over his schedule in his head. Besides a few important events in the near future, he couldn't recall being too busy much time from now. But of course, it wouldn't hurt to make sure.

[truebladeofdawn]

"Yeah! It would be fun!" Edward grinned. To him, it felt like it would be a chance for him and Leonardo to reconnect, since the two best friends had been apart for quite some time. However, he noticed a certain change in Leonardo’s tone when he said something after.

"Leo? Are you okay? You seem a bit…er…uncomfortable…" 

[freedomsarrow]

"Uncomfortable? No, I'm all right." He was starting to feel a bit awkward now that it was brought up, but Leonardo tried to push that feeling away. He told himself again that even though the past was gone, not everything had to be over. It was his own fault for worrying constantly.

With a sigh, he shifted his weight slightly and looked to the side. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to worry you..." He smiled back to Edward then. "I'm looking forward to this-- really. I just need to check my schedule to see when I'm free for a reasonable amount of time."

[truebladeofdawn]

Edward rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly, doing some quick-thinking to try to answer Leo’s question. Frankly, he was desperate. Finally, an answer came to him when he realized one more spot. 

"My place has a spare bed set that you can use, if you’d like." Edward explained, already getting excited and thinking about Leo’s eventual visit to him. 

[freedomsarrow]

He was slightly surprised by Edward's offer, blinking for a moment before he answered. "At your place? Are you sure?" The hesitation was strange, really. They had been best friends for what seemed like a lifetime, after all. But things were different now-- they were both leading lives that differed completely from how they were living before-- and Leonardo somehow felt as if he had to act differently as well, even if he really didn't want to.

"Well, that... would be fine by me. If you're sure that it would be all right, that is."

[freedomsarrow]

He paused for a moment at Edward’s offer, but was soon able to smile slightly in response. “I would like that. As soon as I find the time, I’ll come over and visit you for awhile.”

[truebladeofdawn]

"I’d like that, too!" Edward cheered up, grinning widely. His eyes beamed at his best friend, as he smiled widely. 

[freedomsarrow]

Leonardo smiled more back, glad to see that his friend seemed so happy about them seeing each other again. "You do know a place where I could sleep, right?"

[truebladeofdawn]

"Oh, okay… You know, you’re always welcome to stay at my place, like we used to do…" Edward had a feeling of nostalgia at that moment, but he quickly put it in the back of his mind. 

[freedomsarrow]

He paused for a moment at Edward's offer, but was soon able to smile slightly in response. "I would like that. As soon as I find the time, I'll come over and visit you for awhile."
