“Huh? Oh, yeah, I kinda gave up a while ago, about right before we reached Rigel.”

Tobin sighed with a chuckle, he had to make a bit of fun at himself. He knew he really didn’t have a chance, especially again Gray. He had to laugh it off to sort of hide the fact he was sore that Gray beat him again, even if he did give up.

“Love just wasn’t in the stars for me, but who knows.”

❛ ah, I see...love unrequited certainly is troublesome. ❜

she knew that look, that laugh to make everything seem like it was fine. it was a look she’d seen fernand donned often when they were together. only now did she realize its meaning. and how saddening a truth that was. he’d been suffering long before the loss of his family.

❛ I’m sure you’ll find someone who believes you to be charming, many ladies at court have an eye for a hero of war. ❜

whether she was moulded from clay or god-blood she is as celestial as the stars and she burns just as bright as any supernova before her.

she believes in love and love believes in her. mother earth guides her, the moon threads constellations through her hair as she sleeps, daisy chains on fire woven into a crown that holds meteor in place of diamond.

she laughs and even the sky weakens; lightning pauses as she passes, thunder falls under her spell. she is the daughter of amazons, god-slayer. she is warrior, weapon. woman.

❛ your devotion to him is impressive. ❜

she was reminded of her own towards clive, though sometimes it seemed that faye took things farther than mathilda would dare. it was one thing to fight to protect alm and a complete other thing to give herself sleep deprivation over thoughts of him. the latter was both something mathilda had overheard, and inferred due to the amount of tea she’d been drinking lately.

❛ though I do ask that you take better care of yourself. that tea may have helped you for now, but you will only crash if you continue to do this to yourself. ❜

❛ if you’ve feelings for clair, I suggest you give up on your pursuits. ❜

clair wasn’t one to go for the incredibly flamboyant sort, and seemed to have a preference for men that were like her brother, after all. unless she changed during the time they were separated---which mathilda highly doubted---that reduced his chances to zero.

❛ it’s not that I’ve no faith, it’s that I think you’ll only prick yourself upon a rose’s thorns. ❜

❛ clive... ?? ❜

it was not often that she came to him with a lack of vigor yet neither was it often that she allowed worry to consume her in the way that it had. nothing had ever been as important, she supposed, to elicit such a large part of her mind for the time being.

❛ I’m worried about him---about fernand. I fear as if he’s become broken beyond repair and there’s nothing we can do to help him...I suppose that’s what losing a family does, but...I just wish there was something we could do. ❜

❛ fernand ! ❜

she’s quick to call for the man, and even quicker to approach him. though this time it was not lighthearted pursuits that sent her his way, but the purpose and duty of a friend. her lover had spoken of how fernand would need to be alone to heal, however, mathilda found it hard to believe that he dealt with his grief in the same way that clive did.

❛ I know clive said to give you space...but I can’t do that. if you need an ear to listen, know that I will always happily provide. or if you don’t want to talk and believe silence to be enough...I’ll help with that too. ❜

❛ watch your back ! ❜ the woman shouts before charging in to intercept a blow that had been meant for the young healer. it was her own lack of diligence that had allowed things to go this far, not genny’s, and yet she wished that the young girl would have a bit more tact about picking her way across the battlefield.

mathilda is quick to finish off the adversary, turning to face genny.

❛ are you unharmed, little one ?? ❜

❛ I must say, your skill with a lance is remarkable. ❜

while the knights had finally started to buckle down and work after she joined the order, none had come close to possessing the amount of skill that she, clive, and fernand had. it refreshing to see a young pegasus knight with the amount of battle prowess that hinoka wielded.

❛ perhaps you could teach us all a thing or two ?? ❜

❛ is there something that you require ?? ❜

the mage had been hovering just outside of her vision for quite some time now, a pestilent bee buzzing about a flower adorned in steel and ivory. mathilda had done her best to ignore it and focus on the chores that she’d insisted celica allow her to have ( if only to forget her worries about her darling clive; she should’ve just stayed and waited for his rescue instead of stealing a horse and escaping ) but that had grown ineffective after time. eventually, she just had to ask mae why she was there.

❛ if not, then I must be getting to my duties. ❜

❛ I only ask that you be a bit more cautious, clair. I don’t want to lose you to any recklessness, nor do I want your brother to have to go through that sort of loss. ❜

in the end, mathilda would rather it be her life at risk than clair’s, but she knew that now that the girl was set on fighting just as her brother and fernand did, there was no way to keep her from the battlefield. aye, mathilda was much of the same and couldn’t help being reminded of herself when she was younger.

❛ ho, clive ! how goes it ?? ❜

these peaceful times between the fighting, she really shouldn’t grow used to them. and yet it was just so tempting to pretend---even with how much she enjoyed the thrill of a fight or racing across the battlefield---that they would last forever. just as if this war had been nothing more than a pipe dream.

❛ have you taken a break yet ?? ❜

❛ forgive me for prying, but...is there anything you’d have rather been other than a knight, luka ?? ❜

mathilda herself had always wanted to fight as she now did, but she still knew that that may not have been the case for everyone. many nobles had come from families of knights like her own and had the role forced upon them while others lived in the laps of luxury and were similarly forced to serve---the only difference was that they thought it to be easy.

❛ surely other aspirations have caught your fancy... ?? ❜

‘ it wasn’t the same here without you. ’

various starters ! ; accepting ( @deliverant )

❛ I’d felt much of the same. it was only the thought of reuniting with you that helped me remain strong. ❜

and perhaps getting to the bottom of this business with fernand. what he’d said and done when he’d visited her in her cell was so unlike the fernand that she’d come to love as a friend. then again, that man had died long ago. she didn’t recognize the phantom that had taken his place.

but enough, traitorous mind, you’ve returned like you’d promised.

❛ well, you needn’t worry about things being different any longer. I’m with you once more and clair is safe as well. …we’re all together again. ❜

if only fernand was still with them—then their group would truly be complete.

❝ The sun will rise and we will try again. ❞

various starters ! ; accepting ( @xodayakana )

❛ yes…you’re right. ❜

chocolate eyes are cast in the direction from which they’d come, squinting at the setting sun and watching for any sign of pursuit. though it was certainly possible, they’d retreated on horseback while their foes only had the liberty to travel by foot. for now they would be safe; only mathilda’s pride would suffer tonight.

❛ thank you, luka, your words do me more good than most others’. I know that I can count on you for advice. that was a good call back there. ❜

if it’d not been for his calm counsel, it was likely that she would’ve insisted that they stay to fight and end up risking more than necessary—including their lives.

❛ notify the others that we shall camp here for tonight—we ride at dawn. ❜

❛ they will kill you, but first they will have to catch you. ❜

various starters ! ; accepting ( @rxgncll )

❛ they’d be foolish to try. they will never catch me, and if they do, they’ll regret it. ❜

a smirk twists her lips, the idea of it filling her with the very same passion that overcame her on the battlefield. they surely could try. they could do their worst. but it would never be enough.

❛ I’ll kill them before they’ve the chance. ❜
