breakfast

[stumblingsumia]

Sumia was eating her apple cinnamon oatmeal peacefully in the mess tent. It was early in the morning, so she was enjoying the quiet around her.

But that was interrupted by the sound of a male voice. She looked over and saw an embarrassed Trikey sitting across from her. She had to stifle a giggle that threatened to leave her lips.

“Don’t apologize, Trikey! I don’t mind some company during breakfast. Besides, I enjoy speaking to you.

“You haven’t been sleeping well recently? Is there a reason for that? You mustn’t neglect on something so important, Trikey.”

[levin-swords]

“Thanks, Sumia,” Trikey sighed. At least he hadn’t been so tired as to just fall asleep into his oatmeal. “It’s nice to talk to you too, though I’ll apologize in advance if I’m not exactly... coherent.”

The tactician did feel bad that he was subjecting Sumia to this, so he supposed he owed her an explanation at least. “It’s just that I don’t have a lot of time to sleep, don’t worry,” he said, a cheerier tone to his voice now. “I’ll sleep like a log if time allows, but there’s been too much to plan for, and it’s kind of just... my job. Gotta get it done, y’know? I’m sure you have things about taking care of your pegasus that you wouldn’t want anyone else to do too, right?”

–♧– ▋Gerome was surprised that he had picked him to talk to out of all the other Shepherds, but maybe it was a thing that had him as the focus. It couldn’t be helped. He turned to face Trikey. “I have a few. What do you need to know?” Hopefully nothing bad had happened or else he didn’t know if he could bare another argument with someone who was intelectually above him. Miriel was enough for a lifetime.

[levin-swords]

Oh, he’d actually agreed to it. Trikey had been relatively sure the wyvern rider wouldn’t be willing to talk, but maybe he’d slightly underestimated Gerome.

“Well, I was wondering, um...” he started, hands moving to rest at his sides as his confidence started to come back. “I’ve heard you keep tabs on how some of the other Shepherds are doing. Would you be, er, willing to share some of that with me? At least where it concerns anyone participating in our next battle?” The tactician rarely discussed much with Gerome, so it seemed best to not ask for much.

breakfast

Exhaustedly dropping himself onto one of the benches in the mess tent, Trikey couldn’t help but let out a tired sigh as he looked at the food in front of him. Some sort of oatmeal, probably... they’d have to stock up on rations next time the Shepherds stopped in a town. The tactician had stayed up far too late working on battle plans for the past few nights and had nearly forgotten to take care of his other duties, leaving the militia with, well, very few options for meals.

Only then did he realize that there was someone else at the table. Blinking slowly at the person seated across from him, it took Trikey a minute to identify said person as Sumia. “Oh, gods, sorry,” he apologized, rubbing at his face to wake himself up before giving the pegasus knight what small smile he could manage. “I didn’t even see you there... guess I should take the hint and get some more sleep.”

"Gerome? Do you have a moment?”

The wyvern rider wasn’t easy to talk to, to be sure; however, it’d come to the tactician’s attention that Gerome had a habit of keeping track of some of the other members of the Shepherds. Trikey wasn’t an idiot, he knew he couldn’t handle every minute detail of helping run the militia all alone. No need to be insulted that other people were doing something he’d usually consider to be part of his job.

Which was why he was here, admittedly, hands clasped behind his back as he rocked back and forth somewhat nervously. At the very least, maybe he’d get some information from they wyvern rider.

–☆– ▋“Ah, sorry. I didn’t realize you were doing something… that involved… uh whatever you were doing.” She had just figured that since the swords were placed neatly they were free for use. She gripped the one that he had just handed her, feeling the weight in her palm. “I can help you check up on the rest if that’s what you were doing. I’m not… that bad at that.”

Maybe fighting was her strong suit, but she could be usefull at inventory when it really counted…

Which was usually when she was living alone.

[levin-swords]

“…Really?” Though the tactician took a bit of enjoyment in making sure the militia’s supplies were all in working order, he hadn’t expected anyone else to care for the job, besides maybe Frederick. “Well, I’d appreciate the help,” he admitted with a shrug, “and I can’t say I’m amazingly familiar with these things. You’re probably far more qualified to say when one needs repair, I don’t exactly use them much.”

Well, he probably shouldn't be admitting that he didn't practice often, but at least there was the excuse of tactical duties. "So, you were going to practice by yourself, I take it?" Trikey asked, attempting small talk as he picked up another blade from his pile. "Or are you just blowing off whatever poor soul you were intending to spar with?"

Somebody Screwed Up Starters

“Care to explain yourself?”

“What were you thinking?!”

“I cannot believe you!”

“You made a big mistake.”

“I’ll never forgive you for this.”

“You are grounded for a month!”

“I wish I could say I was surprised.”

“I should have seen this coming.”

“I trusted you.”

“I thought you were better than that.”

“Why should I give you another chance?”

“You did what?!”

“I thought you learned your lesson last time.”

“You’ve really screwed up this time.”

“Don’t even bother saying you’re sorry.”

“You can’t talk your way out of this one.”

“Yes, I still love you.”

“We’ll move past this. Somehow.”

“You’re going to spend the rest of your life making this up to me.”

“I think you owe somebody an apology.”

“Someday we’ll look back on this and laugh.”

She tapped her foot impatiently, getting more annoyed while he talked. Something about him just made the dancer so angry. 

“Really? You came here to get me in trouble?” she asked raising an eyebrow. “Maybe if you paired me up with people who are competent, we wouldn’t being having this conversation.” 

It was tiresome to be constantly checking up on her partner, she obviously wasn’t used to it. Before she joined the Shepherds she mostly fought alone, so it was hard for her to worry about someone else on the battlefield. 

“Is that all? I don’t like you being near my tent for too long.”

Did Clover even hear the words coming out of her mouth? The tactician would’ve liked to just groan and walk away, but that wasn’t his job.

“Alright, give me names.” He crossed his arms over his chest and exhaled, trying to deal with this as calmly as possible. “Tell me who’s more competent, as rude as that is. Honestly, if you’re not gonna work with most of the people here then I don’t know why you’re sticking around, but we need all the help we can get...”

With that he frowned, adding a final, “I don’t know what your problem with me is, but if we can just get along for the next few minutes, I’ll be out of your hair.”

No, nobody would really enjoy hearing this, but he was going to say it anyways. “Well, chromgratulations to our great leader on another year,” was all the tactician could manage before breaking into an idiotic grin. “...I have to chrompliment him on his chromtinuing chrommitment to the Shepherds, of course.”

Clover had an exhausting day. She was busy helping her father with an experiment and afterwards sparred with her mother. Plus, the last battle did not go so well. Clover knew she was going to get yelled because of it. 

Around this time, Clover would finally be alone. It’s her time to relax. She didn’t really have many friends around camp, so she didn’t really talk to anyone. Which is why she was surprised to hear someone outside her tent. She stuck her head out and groaned once she saw who it was. 

“Make it quick,” she huffed, annoyed already.

[levin-swords]

“Okay, um, when I said a minute, what I really meant was...” Ah, yes, add fuel to the flames. Excellent idea. Trikey swallowed the rest of his sarcastic quip and started again.

“Well, anyways, you probably know what I’m here about.” Most people tended to; either they were perfectly aware of how they’d messed up, or they knew what it meant when the resident tactician paid them a visit. “If everyone’s going to survive these fights, we really need to all look out for each other, and... all that stuff...” He trailed off, clueless as to how to get Clover to take his words seriously. “Look, I just need you to watch out for whoever you’re paired up with, okay? Please? I couldn’t care less how you treat the rest of us outside of battles, but it’s far more important when people’s lives are on the line,” he eventually sighed. Maybe the pleading tone to his voice would have some sort of effect besides, well, the loss of his pride.

what a mess

“Wait, don’t--”

It was too late, though. Zinnia had already gone ahead and taken whatever practice sword was directly in front of her, upsetting the neat row of blades the tactician had just been making.

“Could you just, er, maybe,” he started, scrambling to grab an adequate replacement from the pile next to him, “take this one instead? R-really, I’m trying to figure out which ones need repair...” And she had to go and take one from the middle, even.

Trikey never really enjoyed approaching other Shepherds in their free time. In the mess tent during meals? Sure. Right after Frederick’s godforsaken training sessions? At least there was a sense of mutual suffering there. But it just felt a bit invasive to go find someone in their tent, their personal space. He knew he didn’t want anyone setting foot in his own tent.

Unfortunately, some matters required a bit more... privacy. Namely, discussing a certain someone’s actions in the last battle. That was exactly why he now found himself standing outside a tent, fiddling with his gloves as he tried to come up with a polite way to word this.

“Hey, Clover--” Gods, that was her name, right? He could barely remember who some of these newer faces were. “Do you have a minute to talk? It’s kind of important.”
