        -- - “You should try to get some rest. You look pale.”

This isn’t new information; Sorey’s been sneezing intermittently since they were outside in the rain like that for so long. He’d probably come down with a cold. Mikleo was lucky in that he’d been safe and dry, stored away with Lilah and the others ‘inside’ of Sorey, but their Shepard hadn’t been so lucky, himself, naturally.

Watching a bunch of people fighting didn’t sound too appealing, but a tournament was more than that! It was a test of strength, and conviction, and honor! “Of course! Come on, I’ve never seen a tournament before!” Aaaaaand, off he goes in the direction most of the crowd is streaming in.

[icereaver]

         -- - “Wait, are we finding Alisha, or are we watching the tournament? Or do you think she’d be in the tournament?”

It’s all well and good to be excited, but Mikleo isn’t sure whether Sorey’s even decided what he intends on doing, yet! At least it’s easy enough to not be separated from him; just a simple pull and he’s safely back ‘inside’ of Sorey. 

    “You’re really excited, huh?”

[icereaver]

@aoxre

        -- - “Sorey... You’ve been acting different lately.                     Is something bothering you?”

Far be it for Mikleo to straightforwardly express concern like this, but... It’s strange for him to see Sorey react like this. Lilah had warned them that the burden of being a Shepard could be difficult, but... Mikleo had thought that Sorey would be able to withstand it. Perhaps he was wrong.

        -- - “That was a closer call than I’d expected... Are you alright?”

It had been a tough fight; they’d emerged victorious, but not by much. It seemed as though the monsters here might be just a bit too tough for them yet... But that didn’t mean he necessarily assumed they’d be leaving. Mikleo sighed and held out half of a strawberry tart.

    “Here, eat this.”

finished the game (minus the dlc) about a week ago, so I’m finally around for real now (mostly. it is still midterm season.)! gonna get on those starters from my starter call and do my one other draft.

It sure was lively, and Sorey began to relax at the somewhat familiar feeling; the charged atmosphere was like the days leading up to the festival of the sacred sword. “A tournament? Oh! You mean like the ones knights are supposed to have?” His initial worry gave way to a curious excitement. “Maybe we’ll see Alisha!”

[icereaver]

        -- - Now that they had apparently realized what was really going on, Mikleo allowed himself to relax and glance around curiously. “Yes, that sort of thing... Fighters compete to see who’s the strongest knight, usually with prizes and such, while crowds watch and place bets. Or so I’ve read.” Obviously he’s never seen such a thing, and it sounds... Somewhat dangerous, but then again, humans always do seem to come up with rather strange ways to pass the time. “Should we look for her?”

[celestialfriend]

“We’ll find our way out! We always have…eventually. Besides! My way’s more fun. Where’s your sense of exploration, Mikleo?”

He lightly shoved the shorter seraph, a playful grin upon his lips.

[icereaver]

        -- - “... While I agree that it might be more fun, I don’t want to be scolded again, is all. It’s been hours now. I’m sure gramps is worried.”

    He doesn’t mind the shove, and exploring is something he’s always up for, but even so. Gramps’ lectures can be... A little terrifying, to say the least.

    ❛ I don’t pick fights, they just happen! ❜ Though it was fun to mess with the shepherd and his friends every time their paths happened to cross. Besides, if they couldn’t take on single seraph– were they really capable of tackling anything else on the arduous journey that was fated for the shepherd and seraphim that accompanied him? He could scoff at the thought. They were in over their heads if he was a difficult obstacle.

    ❛ But we could go a couple rounds if you’d like. Test your strength and all that. Wanna make a bet or two, while we’re at it?❜ 

[icereaver]

        -- - “Right, of course.” He really isn’t sure what to make of this man, frankly; while he fights them, he also doesn’t... Actually seem to hate them, or anything. It’s confusing, and Mikleo doesn’t exactly enjoy being toyed around with. So if this is just some sort of game to Zaveid, then there’s no way Mikleo is going to ‘play along’. 

    “No thanks, on both counts. I have no reason to fight you. In fact, I’m only curious as to why you’re here. I didn’t imagine our paths would cross here.”

[elysalark]

“Now that you mention it…” There did seem to be an odd feeling around them. But if it wasn’t malevolence, then what was it? “Think we should check it out?”

[icereaver]

        -- - “I suppose we ought to at least have a look, yes.”

Just in case. Though once they began to move further into the town, Mikleo hummed quietly to himself. Not malevolence... Was there perhaps some sort of festival going on? Or perhaps a tournament? That seemed more likely, the more he thought about it. People getting all riled up by watching fighters compete, or something... “I think there must be a tournament of some sort.”

[icereaver]

@ofelysia

        -- - “... Something here feels wrong. Not like malevolence, but...”

    He can’t quite place his finger on it. It’s not something he thinks is necessarily dangerous, but... Still, it might be worth investigating. Maybe the townsfolk know of something going on around town, or something... Or maybe it’s nothing.

[icereaver]

@celestialfriend

        -- - “You can’t keep just running around aimlessly, you know. We should stop and think about this, first.”

    It’s not the first time they’ve gotten lost in the ruins, and it probably won’t be the last, but it won’t do either of them any good to just keep going... Though, well, admittedly it might lead to some interesting or fun discoveries. Still, he didn’t want Sorey getting lost in this place! Or rather, he didn’t want gramps to scold them again...

[icereaver]

@twingunning

        -- - “Are you here to pick a fight again?” 

   ... Not that he and Sorey had really stood much of a chance in the first place, but that didn’t mean that Mikleo would just back down. At least this guy had apologized before... But that wasn’t enough to clear suspicion of him, obviously. Not to Mikleo, anyway.

[icereaver]

didn’t realize there were so many blogs for this fandom! excellent.

I haven’t finished the game yet (not really anywhere near it as far as I can tell /snorts) but if you’re okay with that you can like this post for a short starter? I’m eager to jump in if I can! <3
