A Father's Worries | tacitaverba

[tacitaverba-blog]

”..You said that once before.. A-And you didn’t come back.” He managed through gritted teeth. “I.. I always checked to see if you would return.. But you never did.”

Great, now he felt a new surge of tears coming along. What a failure he was in regards to his completing of his task to see his father through the war without any emotional disruptions.

His arms reached around his father’s waist, carefully around his wound, as to return his embrace. It had been so long since he felt the familiar warmth that only Stahl offered. 

"I’m sorry.. I’m so sorry, father.."

[insatiabledefender-blog]

Stahl Didn't have any words to respond, he knew it wouldn't change how Sano felt about those thoughts. He just hoped it was enough just being there together. He wanted his actions to reassure his son.

His words. Sano apologized to Stahl, he heard the shaking of his cries in those words his son offered. The years of loneliness, it only being him and his sister, alone for so long. Stahl tried to hold back his sorrows and felt the regret of a father who failed to protect his child from such hurt.

"I-it's okay now, Sano. Please, please you never need to feel like this again. I'll always protect you, always be with you, you'll never need to hurt like this again." Tears shown through his words. He couldn't hold them back anymore. He sobbed and cried along side his son.

With a forced laugh he spoke once more. "Haha we probably look like a couple of babies." He just didn't want to see his son with such sadness anymore.

He flinched gently, hearing the smack of his father’s robust fist onto the wood. Stahl never angered easily, but Sano knew he could be more fearsome than Frederick if he ever was. Well, it was justified: Any father who heard what he said would have gotten angry, but it was the truth that had been buried deep inside of him.

Even though I’ve been such a horrible son? You still think of me so highly?

What his father did next, though, surprised him more than it should have. But feeling the overflow of protection and pure paternal love Stahl held for him was enough to make him nearly sob.

"Dad.. Please don’t leave. I.. I can’t.. I wouldn’t be able t-to go on again if you’d died in battle.."

[insatiabledefender-blog]

This embrace kept him from feeling the pain of his wounds, the warmth of his son kept him alive. This was the first time his son opened up to Stahl emotionally, it was the first time Stahl felt he truly connected with Sano since they had met.

"I-it's okay I won't be dying anytime soon, kiddo." He spoke with a bright and genuine smile. He just needed Sano to know everything would be alright whether Stahl was wounded on the battlefield or left unscaved. "Believe in your dad, he'll always come back to you."

Stahl embrace didn't loosen the whole time he spoke to Sano. He couldn't bear letting his son out of his arms anytime soon. He only felt the need to say one last thing to Sano.

"It's okay to cry and worry but don't let the things that make you want to cry control your life and keep you from living."

Cordelia pouted, not wanting to admit the very fact that she wanted to pay attention to her. Did hormones always make pregnant women change personalities?

She accepted his embrace, burying her face into his chest, the highest place she could reach. He was always so warm; it was the most peculiar thing how he managed to stay warm even in the winter. And as the only pair of clothes that fit her new body, Stahl’s sweater was a staple for Cordelia daily, and that, too, added more warmth.

"Severa.. Wanted to be hugged.." That was a good enough excuse, right?

Since she became pregnant, Stahl felt Cordelia was much more cuddle hungry than normal, he didn't mind though he loved holding her in his arms. She made him feel complete.

Cordelia's new wardrobe choice, though he wasn't effected too greatly by it, gave him a spectacular idea. He would impliment it the moment she was okay with him leaving to set everything in motion.

"Well I'm very glad Severa likes daddy's hugs." He spoke brightly to Cordelia's ever rounding stomach.

[insatiabledefender-blog]

whines and demands some sort of physical contact. don't question a pregnant woman, stahl.

He just looked at her with a slight shake of his head. “Okay come here.” He stood up and hugged her, the oddly childish side of Cordelia was such a cute thing he couldn’t help himself

"Don’t tell me you put her up to this." She sighed, shaking her head. Sometimes her Pegasus was so tough to get along with, but Cordelia decided their actions were for her own safety.

Taking his hand in her own, as she was only in her dress and a blanket-like shawl Stahl made her wear, she walked, taking note of the lively trainees taking their time during their gracious break. She smiled to a few she recognized, most of which seemed shocked that she was actually here.

"I know, but their whole family has been so kind to us. Sumia is basically like a sister to me, but she is such a fussy mother when it comes to my eating. She’d tend to me more than she did to her own Pegasi.." 

Instead of commenting on his last statement, she offered a chuckle at his childish personality when it came to food, and a light squeeze of his hand. He was always so cute, in her eyes.

[insatiabledefender-blog]

His eyes shined somewhat mischieviously. "She listens to no one but you and that's only rarely. I still don't understand how you can put so much stalk in something that doesn't have it's feet on the ground most of the time." He tried his best to dodge the question as if he some how did plan this with a flying horse.

"Well Sumia and her family really worry about you and everyone else does too. Severa herself almost took up assisting Cynthia in training them as well." He said with a light chuckle, that stubborn girl would never admit it though.

These moments made him feel truly blessed by Naga. His wife was happy, his daughter was finally breaking out of her cold shell, they were slowly becoming a happy family. How long has it been since she was this happy, maybe it was their wedding day, maybe when she met Severa for the first time. He couldn't remember but this was a moment he would cherish for his whole life.

"That’s wonderful to hear! There are few in the army who can match up to Sully’s fierce nature. I see more men scared of Sully than anything.." Talking casually to her husband made her forget about her stomach pains for a while, smiling genuinely at the progress of the squadron. 

"I know, I know. Serena won’t even let me ride her. She’s just as strict as you are, dear. I won’t be riding or training any time soon, but I still want to monitor practice for a few more weeks.." Cordelia knew it was hard for Stahl to see her up and about all the time, and she felt bad. Towards the end of her term, she planned to just stay home to keep him at peace. 

"I’d love to see how they’ve been growing. I need to pay Frederick a visit, too. I have to thank him for watching over the Pegasus Knights, with Cynthia."

[insatiabledefender-blog]

Her smile made his heart feel washed over with a feeling of ease. She was happy... everything would be fine. "I knew I always liked her, she takes care of you when I can't." He spoke of the pegasus as if she was a person, though he did the same with his steed from time to time.

"Don't worry about Sir Frederick and Cynthia, I go to them everyday and give them my deepest thanks for you. Cynthia is just happy to try and give the new squad a heroic spirit to defeat evil." He said in slighty more jovial manner.

"Sully has her squad do a training scheduel to rival Frederick's... and they don't even get snack breaks." He spoke with a grimace. He couldn't even imagine skipping a snack and skipping a meal was near unthinkable. He presented his hand so he could keep her close.

"It’s rare to see you here, Stahl." She turned her head forcing another smile to her husband. Crap, how long has he been standing there? Keeping this front will be a lot harder if he keeps watching me… "Taking a break from your own squadron?"

Cordelia could see his weak smile and his concerned eyes, but she longed to be out in the fields to see her trainees grow and improve. There was also so much burden she left on Cynthia’s shoulders, and she couldn’t leave the poor girl alone. 

"I’ve already eaten; Robin stopped by to bring me some cleric-certified food that will help little Severa. She said it worked wonders for her while she was pregnant with Lucina." But it didn’t really agree with her at the moment (probably because she ate too fast). 

[insatiabledefender-blog]

His attempt to get her home failed but it wouldn't topple him. "Yeah they are truly growing into amazing soldiers. There are a few with the tenacity of Sully and the drive and motivation of The Exalt himself." His mood perked slightly when he spoke of his new trainees. "They are having luch now so I thought I should find you to eat together but since you ate I'll leave you to what you will. Just be safe and don't push it." Even though his thoughts betrayed what he said. 

If she was trying this hard to be out here he should let her have some freedom about it. Though the concern never left his voice. He just couldn't help but want her to be off her feet because he knew there wouldn't be anyway to stop her after she gives birth. 

With a weary smile he asked an innocent enough question. "Would you like to have a walk around th compound and see the squad after lunch is done?" He just wanted her to be somewhere he could still watch her and be sure she was safe

Naga help me, oh dear Naga please help—

She repeated to herself while pacing around the Pegasus Knight training field. Stahl forbade her from leaving the house, but she managed to persuade him otherwise. Though her little child was restless inside her womb and caused stomach pains that came in patterns.

To another, she looked like a severely angered Cordelia, with her arms wrapped tightly around her stomach, on her face a dark expression, but she was only trying to find a way to last the day. 

"W-What can I do for you..?" She mustered a smile to the figure walking closer. Hopefully she could pull off being okay just for a little bit. She didn’t want to be defeated by a baby and be sent home!

[insatiabledefender-blog]

He quietly walked up trying not to act like he had been watching her from afar the entire time she was out of the house. He worried that things would be too hard for her in her current state. She appeared to be fine to most but Stahl knew she was in much more pain than she tried to show but her strong facade would easily fall once none were watching her.

She's not looking too good right now...

How would he break his worry to her without saying he had seen her the whole time. With each step he had less time to think. He had to come up with a quick excuse to get her back home so she could rest. 

"H-hi, do you want something to eat?" He timidly asked her, hoping it would be enough to seem normal. His smile was weak and his eyes spoke volumes for his concerns. Maybe she would come and rest if he asked.

"If you’d like, I have some extra right here—" She reached into her bag, taking out a small bag filled with food. "I try my best to make a lot, so I know what I’m actually feeding them. It gives them a lot more energy and strength and it counts after a long day of battle."

He was a strange guy, easily flustered, but somehow, seemed competent enough to manage his own pokemon, and very well at that. She’d never seen a regular pokemon so.. shiny before. He must have a lot of compassion in his heart to take care of them to this extent.

"Some days more than others, but often, yes, I’m bombarded with trainers who have the potential to go past the League. Though often times, they’re stumped right when they face Serena." She laughed, winking at the dragon pokemon. "I try hard not to be so arrogant about it, but I’m not one to give up my position so easily."

[insatiabledefender-blog]

When the small bag was presented to him, he reached in and got a peice and took a small bite off the top, holding it between his teeth, slowly chewing to feel the texture and aquire the taste of it as a whole. A Look of shock shot into his eyes. "This is amazing! Did you used to make pokemon food professionally before?! It's consistancy and texture are far above normal and I can't help but feel you used a unique mix of berries." His eyes were lit with a fire and shine he hadn't had in ages.

"I'm sorry, of course your pokemon food is this good, looking at your teams' shine and sheen." The olive haired man looked at the ground as if he said something completely ridiculous. He reached for Juniour to call the yellow pokemon back to him to hold and pet the spikey creature.

He looked to the tall dragon and could feel the love and respect that was formed in the bond between the two. "You're very close to all of your pokemon, aren't you?" he smiled brightly.

"It’s actually quite a normal day.. They had a tough week so I thought I’d just give them a few days to just examine how much their skills have developed.."

She held onto his wrist, the Sylveon in her arms matching her pleading expression. “I’d.. I’d really like it if I had some company. Would you please stay? It’s been so long since I’ve actually talked.. normally with someone who didn’t seem so fazed by my title—”

[insatiabledefender-blog]

His Wrist burned where she held, his skin became a rose colored flush that traveled up his arm. Like an obedient pokemon, his rear end plopped on the gorund next to her. His glanced shifted to Charles for a moment just letting the pink pokemon know this wasn't the end of everything for him. "S-sorry about how I acted right now. I just taken off guard by who you are. I won't let that happen again." He beamed a still nervous smile at the woman.

His attention now turned back the pokemon that had been the main focus up until a moment ago. "So do you feed the- Sorry I already asked that..." He struggled to put together a meaningful question to ask. His mind always going back to the pokemon's feeding and grooming habits. " Do you get a lot of challenges being the Chanmpion and all?"

Stahl nervously placed his rough hands on the shoulders of the red head sitting in front of him. When he began he was afraid of being too rough and hurting her but he touched her so gently that all he felt was air.

With a slight stutter he inquired “Is this alright, I’m not hiring you am I?”

[epitomizingperfection-blog]

"Stahl, you’re not even touching me.." Turning her head, she realized that his hands were massaging the air, just above her shoulders.

Resting his large hands on top of her petite frame, she sighed, almost laughing at his concern — he was worried he’d be too rough on her shoulders. 

"Stahl, I assure you, I’ll be fine. You have the gentlest hands I’ve ever touched and I know you won’t do anything to hurt me."

[insatiabledefender-blog]

He timidly applied some pressure to the woman's shoulders still works that if he would hurt her. He didn't quite understand why she thought his hands were so gentle, the were callused and rough, truth be told he felt that if he needed to his palms were abrasive enough to clean the grime built up in the kitchen

"You're way to generous by saying that Cordelia, my hands are neither soft not gentle."

Her right hand reached out on instinct, grabbing his wrist as she let out a whimper of pain. Not just her wrist, then? What the hell happened?

"Why.. Why am I here? Why is my wrist in a cast? S-Stahl, wh..What happened—?!" 

She looked so desperate for an answer of some sort, any kind of information. Her eyes were bewildered as Stahl refused to look her in the eye. Why was he so quiet all of a sudden?

"Stahl..Please.."

[insatiabledefender-blog]

His teeth cringed, he wanted to tell her but he felt it wasn't his place. He ripped his wrist from her grasp knowing it would put her in pain but he had to, if he stayed any longer he would crack.

He turned to her slowly, head sunk low. "The doctor will explain everything about your hand but I- I want to say I'm sorry... it's all my fault..." With that he left the room in silence.

He walked in a self-lothing silence just thinking to himself about how he ruined her dreams, her life. He hated everything about himself at that moment but hopefully something new came up to the doctor, something good, something so she wouldn't hate him after this cursed day.

He slowly trudged back to her room after some time passed.The doctor beat me here I guess...

broken dreams | swords-of-hope

All she could remember was a light flashing in front of her eyes, then sudden darkness. 

Stirring, she felt a looming presence creep up behind her, making her heart beat fast, as if she were being chased.

Jolting awake, she breathed heavily, feeling cold sweat drip down her neck. She’d never gotten nightmares before, but why has this started now? 

Looking around, she noticed where she awoke was not her room. The walls were white, the smell of antiseptics filled her nose, and the bed was harder than she would have liked. 

A hospital?

Looking around she saw Stahl sleeping on the nearby chair, but no one else was around. Lifting her left arm to check the time, she realized that her entire wrist was covered. A cast. 

”..Oh no.. Oh no, no, no, this can’t be happening—”

[insatiabledefender-blog]

Paniced eyes dart behind closed lids. Sleep was no sanctuary from his fears, plagued by what may happen when she comes to. Horror filled his dreams, screeching rubber, clashing metal.

He woke in a jolt, the nightmares taking after the reality of that morning. His ears caught her soft speech. He knew what was to come next. Nothing he could say would make this better. Standing quickly he said a single sentence in a grim tone.

"I'll call the doctor... " His words hanging in the air like a death sentence.
