Just a quick little update! As of posting this, I only owe a couple of drafts. Those drafts will likely not be posted until September- If you want me to post them sooner or reply back to any I might get during the lore period for activity or whatnot, let me know and I can prioritize them. Edelgard is going to lore. I will not be at my computer today through Sunday late morning because I will be out of town, but I will respond to things as best as I can.

#( ooc )#sunday late morning bc my flight home leaves at like 7:30 am lol #so it's really only saturday i'll be more spotty

"Sylvain hails from House Gautier— It's about as far as one can get from Enbarr while remaining in Fódlan. Without our present attendance at Garreg Mach, it is possible we may have never crossed paths. I cannot speak intimately on his house; not in the same way I can of others. Either way, the thoughts I have don't change."

"He portrays himself to others with a frivolous demeanor. He would find it beneficial to give grander consideration on his personal presentation in its entirety. I do not know him well, but I suppose the rest remains to be seen with time."

#( asks )#ruinedskys #sylvain for me :D #what if we were both nobles and we both disliked crests #not that she could think this right now ASDGHL but it Is interesting

These Cracks In The Mirror Show Me Worlds I've Never Seen || Edelgard & Thrasir

mission board: herald | any skill +1

Crushing it....? Thrasir was quite certain she didn't know what effect that might have on the orb... she brought a hand to her chin thoughtfully, considering it. No, something such as this needed a theoretical magic thought. She hummed softly.

"Anyone with a decent enough grasp of magic would be able to activate the orb," she hummed. "That alone makes it something we don't want lying about."

And since Prince Alfonse and the Summoner were here, she was certain that some form Askran magic was floating around too. She herself had called on her own magic of closure here as well. The question was then, how much latent magic did the orb contain, and if they crushed it, would that latent magic explode. Possibly not... Which brought the question... what was the best way to deal with this?

"There are two ways we can deal with this," Thrasir finally said. "We could crush it, yes, though that may well just activate it anyway, or we can simply activate it and summon whoever it has decided it has latched onto, and then I can send them back to their world by closing their connection to this one. In that instance, the orb would simply disappear as it would be used as the supply of magic to reach across the rift."

Then she blinked as she realised that Edelgard was walking closer to it. She stopped and reached out a little.

"Ah, my lady, I wouldn't get too close just yet, else it might use your magic to start the summon anyway...!"

She hadn't wanted to activate it. No words could persuade her to seek its results intentionally, but either outcome resulted in its possibility. Edelgard would rather obtain the result through choice; not chance.

The princess teetered one final stride closer, looking into the orb as if it were a detriment: "Understood. If either option holds the chance of activation, I'd rather we do it on our own volition..—" Before she could finish her speech, the object began to act on its own.

With her hand hovering near the mystical object, a low cloud of smoke began to form around and atop the orb. Edelgard was forced to move herself in reverse and back to where Thrasir stood. "What. I've never seen anything quite.. like this..?"

As the steam dissolved with the cool air around it, a small, young girl stood by her lonesome. Her brunette hair was tied back in twin-tails. Her hands grasped a dagger with a blue embellishments on the handle. She wore a surprised expression, lilac eyes wide and lips colored with empty words. The dagger hugged her chest, looking around with confusion.

"Who are you.. —Wait. Is this.. Garreg Mach..?"

It was hard to focus as Raven watched in horror while Edelgard ate her own soup, hearing the thrum of his heartbeat pick up in his ears. If this was in fact that which they had come here for - Raven was certain of it, it had to be - then either they would be hard pressed to get it out of her system in time before its effects took hold on her body, or…

Raven stiffened, eyes meeting the Duke’s firmly for a long moment that seemed to stretch on between them, longer than the hours they’d spend here by far, and he felt his breath flare hot as he exhaled with control through his nostrils.

“Of course. Thank you, for the time spent, my lord.”

He lifted the bowl as though in toast, although his affect remained as flat and dour as it ever hand, and he considered the surface - looking for oil in a soup of this kind, smelling for something acrid beneath the onions - before pressing the back of his thumb to his lips and tipping the bowl just so.

The Duke’s eyes remained firm on him, a focus that was nearly unsettling even for someone of his calibre, until Raven set the bowl down softly. The lighting was poor enough that he would not see it was still full, but Raven could deal with that the moment his gaze broke, he just needed the moment.

A beat, a full moment of heavy silence.

“Alas. Still not a fan of onions. A hearty attempt, however.”

There was no room for regret in her heart; no means to pretend she did not feel the constant stares nor trickery into the impending emperor's mind. Nothing worse could happen to her than what she had already been through. This, she constantly reminded herself of.

She could not reaffirm their thoughts with the Duke around. Edelgard placed her fingers around the arms of her chair and elevated: "If you don't mind, I'm feeling rather tired now. I'll be retreating back to our private quarters. Thank you again for the meal."

The Duke extended a bow, moving only his upper torso as he said, "Ah, indeed. I'm pleased you came around to enjoy the meal. You must crave rest. Please, do not hesitate to find me if there is anything else I can do for you." When he interlocked eyes with her, it lasted only seconds.

She painted a plain smile and lowered herself in return: "We will keep that in mind. Thank you."

Turning on her heel, Edelgard left the room behind her and hiked back onto the creaky steps. The door was propped slightly open— Only enough for her to hear and see should someone else walk past, feeling her intent had been understood. Knowing it was unspoken.

Dream Distress

A Call For Help @hresvelged

princeofopenness

It might seem like an intimate detail to Edelgard, but to Alfonse, this was almost mundane. The dead coming back to life was, frankly, less surprising than the gods themselves descending repeatedly to do battle with the Askrans. Alfonse had seen several worlds where individuals had been reanimated, but few where entities on par with the gods of his realm even existed. There were far more incredible topics he could theoretically discuss, but Edelgard would not be ready to hear most of them. Not yet.

It was ironic, perhaps, that the topic of Alfonse's father arose naturally just before Edelgard posed to him that question. It was precisely the sort of thing Gustav would have asked of him, the same sort of challenge his father constantly posed to the prince. In a moment of weakness, Alfonse allowed his expression to falter, feeling his gaze widen in surprise at the words. He corrected it as quickly as he could, but he knew Edelgard almost certainly saw it, no matter how much Alfonse wished his emotions could have remained hidden.

"...I don't know if I can," Alfonse answered, perhaps more candidly than he intended. "I find it easier to trust in those close to me. My sister, the Summoner, my dear friends Anna, Bruno, and now Veronica as well... they mean the world to me. They support me in ways I do not think I am capable of doing myself. I do not wish to burden them overmuch, but I know that I am not capable of doing everything entirely by myself. I've tried, in fact. I don't think anybody can take such responsibilities fully without support."

hresvelged

Briefly, she was silent. She had seen distrust with her own eyes and hands that seldom dared to reach towards others. She looked down at her gloved fingers, brushing her thumbs onto hidden palms. Edelgard, too, couldn't do all that she must on her own. Alfonse must be the same— She could see as much from the way he reacted. She said nothing of it. There was no need.

Her shoulders relaxed, if only slight: "I understand. I'm much the same way. You shouldn't hand out trust to simply anyone. Trust, like other things, needs to be earned." The house leader's head raised higher than before. "If you'd like my opinion, it begins by trusting in yourself. If those people you speak of truly mean a great deal to you, prove to them that you have earned the trust they place upon you."

For those who ally themselves with her, she would be doing much the same. That is what made a good leader. "Just so you know, I agree with you. One person is not capable of carrying everything by themselves." As much as Edelgard herself shouldered many dilemmas alone, she had begun to recognize the limitations of solitude. If the world turned its back against her despite it all, she would continue by her lonesome. That was her journey.

"If you try, your path will become lonesome. Though, I suppose you did say you've already attempted it.. Your answer is clear, then."

"Let's clear him of any unusual symptoms," she answers in a hum. It is a gentle hand that lifts his arm the rest of way up after he bares it, wounds and all. The scrapes themselves don't seem so severe, especially given the good upkeep of the ship, but-- subtly there, she turns his arm, notes the barest twitch of his fingers, and loosens her grip.

"Here," Maria interjects, procuring a small tin from her bag and popping off its lid. "We should put on a thin layer of this before you bandage it -- it'll help keep it from getting infected. Here, like this." Scooping a small amount of the ointment with her fingertips, she daubs it over some of his scrapes. "Just the arm for now."

Then, turning a light smile toward their patient: "You fell forward, didn't you? --oh, excuse me!" Knuckles brush against his forehead, her easy demeanor never dimming.

"...uh, yeah." The man blinks. "How'd you... well, never mind. I fell forward -- might have fallen overboard if my knee hadn't buckled on the way over." His tone may be neutral, but he sucks a bit of his frustration through his teeth. For just a brief moment, rosy-hued eyes flick up toward him, reading his expression. Right -- if he feels like he's just brushed against death out of carelessness, the bruise to his self-security must be deeper than the one against his ribs. Humor likely won't serve him well then... maybe a more light, but still steady attitude.

"Things look pretty good so far," Maria hums again, a gentle lilt she takes care to carry to his ears. Turning toward Edelgard, she winks with the half of her face hidden from his view, a toothy smile sprawling across her face. "Let's check his knee for feeling and range of motion next, then move on to his chest and stomach."

After watching Maria, she feels as confident as she can with turning her sights to his knees and upper body. It's impressive how her friend is able to go as far as to deduce even the direction he had fallen. She would have never considered those details, let alone have been able to decipher them for herself. Is there a book for this somewhere? Is it liken to the formation of an army; to its experiences and nuances? She stores the knowledge in mind to ask about later.

She'd seen infirmary staff tend to patients with similar injuries before— All she must do is what she recalls. "Indeed," she says in agreement. "Starting with his knee.." Meeting him through eye contact, Edelgard lowers herself back towards the ground and presses a warm hand against his right knee. "I need to know if you can feel this. Does it hurt?"

"No," he shakes his head. Silence. The princess moves to intensify the pressure— as slight as she can— to test if his answer changes. He winces and pushes himself away from her. "Now that.. That, I can feel. Are you that strong or.. Gah..!"

Instinctively, Edelgard retracts her hand back: "Ah. My apologies. However, this does help us." With the aid of Maria, Edelgard reaches for the bandages and begins to wrap as a means of alleviating pressure. "You must not stand up. Not yet." The squatting position she moves into allows her to sit towards his side. She leans closer. "Take deep breaths for me. In and out. Don't speak. Only listen."

♡ curious about first impressions…

"It's a shame we hadn't met under better circumstances. There is only one to blame for this— It is not Eir, nor even I. When I found myself alongside her, I wondered what she thought of the ordeal. Is this truly the way to change someone? I don't think so. I'd dare to consider the opposite."

"That's my thought, anyways. As I concluded from the beginning, I was able to take the unfavorable disciplinary action from the church and turn it into a boon of my own."

"She was soft-spoken and kind at heart. I got the feeling she understood my thoughts without me having to outright speak them. She must wonder what I said for the church to become skeptical of me. I wouldn't blame her, if that were the case. There is no merit in silencing either of us."

#( asks )#dueth #// edel definitely blames the church ASDGHL #// but she is glad to have met eir/was with her. and also get another glimpse into the abyss and the people that live there #// even tho she's not happy with the forced first impression's circumstances

♡

"I've witnessed her entering the Golden Deer classroom before. She must be one of its students. I wouldn't know what occurs when their classes are in session, but I get the impression she is someone who takes her studies seriously. I'd be disappointed if my guess was wrong."

"I conclude this only because she aided me during the Ethereal Ball, not so long ago. Dance can speak many words about a person. How they hold themselves, for starters. Confidence, as well. Lacking either will prove a poor performance. I sensed none of that."

#( asks )#cloudyknightskies #// clair. softsmile #// i love her. and she gave a good first impression

♡ hiiii

"I recall speaking at the Ball briefly. My first impression was that he is someone willing to learn when confronted with something unknown to him. He is not someone affiliated with the Black Eagles. That, I know."

"I've yet to obtain a better grasp on him. I, too, am a person with a steadfast demeanor. I'll need to discern where his loyalties sit. Knights, Professors, or otherwise.. The church inserts themselves as an employer. Our paths will cross again."

#( asks )#chryssaetos #// sin for me YAYY #// once she knows him better i think she'd appreciate the company

♡ (if ur still taking hehe)

"Professor Edain accompanied us during our trip to Jugdral. She struck me as a person kind in nature. Kinder than I. She played a crucial role in acting both as a guide and aiding our comrades when the need arose. It's no wonder she is here as a professor."

"She instructs for the Blue Lions, if I'm not mistaken. I don't learn as often from those professors as I do from the ones of my own house. A shame, but it can't be helped. It would be favorable for us to speak further sometime. I'd welcome the conversation. There's still more about Jugdral I do not know, after all. She could give me the answers that I seek."

#( asks )#ulirblood #// YAYY edain for me. softsmile #// i kind of like the imagery of edie one day randomly sitting in on a class or something AFGJL #// with the interest she's gained in faith magic

♡ if you're still accepting!

"She is skilled. I feel confident in this. I prefer speaking to people who are plain with me. Her prowess is undeniable— I'd think her to be a person willing to make decisions others might not have thought of. There are situations that call for newfound thinking. At least, that's the impression I've come to have."

"It's regretful she didn't tell me her intents on leaving the Black Eagle house, though. I don't know why. And to think we fought well together.. No matter. I'm one of the first to notice when there is a change. She may come to regret that decision. Either way, I hope she is able to obtain what it is she seeks."

#( asks )#sanakialtina #// sanaki for me YAYY #// edie thinks she's cool

♡

"Ephraim is formidable on the battlefield. As expected, our spar proved to match the strength of my own. I've always preferred those in power to fight alongside their comrades instead of watching from the sidelines. That is how you can best determine whether or not someone is fit for the throne."

"I'd welcome it again, if time allows. There's much to be learned when it comes to strategy. I'm sure he would accept my words. We get along fine."

#( asks )#heliacalrisings #// do think she quite enjoyed their spar haha #// also she's enjoyed their convo's/when they've crossed paths #// there's much for her to learn from other kings/queens/etc

♡

"It was clear I held unfamiliarity with certain dance styles at the Ethereal Ball. Yet, he asked me to dance despite that. Have you ever wondered what that entails for a person's character? I do. Is it meant to test me? Or, is it simply a means to place us on an equal playing field? If I am right in my assumption, I can't say I mind it. What a curious person. I'm like to equate myself in the same way."

"I should pay a visit to the Blue Lions classroom sometime. I'd like to speak further and get the truth for myself."

#( asks )#moriddyn #// elffin :doggy:#// edel's the kind of person that'd take even small actions and use them to judge someone's character #// she's Curious TM

♡ omg hiiiiiiiiiii!!!! <333

"I've seen her entering the Golden Deer classroom before. She must be a student of that house. She's quite proficient with a bow from what I've heard. I'd assume it's a skill she's had for some time. A prowess like that is quick to catch my attention. It is not one acquired solely through the monastery. I'd find it worthwhile to send my regards and introduce myself proper. I may be a House Leader of another house, but I've not the interest in letting that stop me."

#( asks )#doeofsacae #SUE FOR MEEE YAYY #i love her. edelgard is the kind of character that likes a strong first impression so she's Curious ASFGHL

♡ edie edie edieeee

"Dorothea's kindness is like no other. I'm not only happy to count her as a classmate, but as a friend. She remembers the smallest of details I've spoken. She even goes out of her way to remind me that I no longer need to face this path by my lonesome. Even now, thinking those words aloud.. Well. It's not often I'm told that. Not at all, in truth. I may have needed to hear it more than she realized."

"I'll hold onto it. To those words— To our hopes for the future. If her trust is in me, I won't let her down."

"I consider myself lucky. The moons shine brighter knowing there is someone I can count on. Any hardships I might face in the future will be nothing but that— Obstacles. I've yet to see one I couldn't overcome. If it means creating a world where people like Dorothea are able to blossom as they deserve, I will destroy it all. She will be there, too. I'm confident in this."

#( asks )#encantresse #// DOROTHEAAA. her friend always #// she has always appreciated her but that birthday gift really just extra cemented it. softsmile

"Sigurd is a fine leader. I'm impressed. In battle, he paved a way forward for his allies. Even outside of combative moments, his words as we walked up that mountain certainly resonated with me. I'll never forget that view. If I am to take commands from someone else, I'd want it to be led by this sort of person. I feel fortunate to have had him among our group during our journey to Jugdral. Because of that, it was rather fulfilling. I have no regrets."

"If he ever comes to a point of considering teaching, he'd fit perfectly within the Black Eagle house. I was pleased when he decided to ally with us during the Battle of the Eagle and Lion. I for one would be happy to learn from him. The others would no doubt feel the same."

#( asks )#bxldrsdraumar #// sigurd :doggy:#// he impressed her for sure #// he has skills she doesn't which has her like. :eyes: I Wish I Did
