Lucina, Exalt of Ylisse Wielder of Falchion Heroic Spirit of the Saber class affiliated with rdh

[juvenileking]

   He had never asked for her help.

   Truly, he kinda appreciated it when she didn’t butt in in his decisions and whatever he did. When he went out in the snow for whatever reason (as much as he liked staying home, going outside to collect information and do whatever else, especially escape all that idly chitchat coming from the other customers was the best decision right now), Noiz hadn’t expected Lucina to actually say something — though, he should have. People gave him weird looks as he was about to leave the hotel, some even tried to put some “sense” into his head. It pissed him off.

   When Lucina had materialized herself, lectured him and touched him, it was when the youth finally snapped at her.

   ”Don’t touch me!" Though his idea was to knock her away from him, there was barely enough strange on his arms to push her too far. It was strange, though quite interesting, to see his body acting so weirdly. He couldn’t feel it. He couldn’t feel anything other than the dull sensation of having his Servant touch his body. Noiz couldn’t feel the cold, but his body still reacted. The male was freezing, his body shivering, limbs becoming numb. Even his breath was starting to become shallow, almost as if to leave him.

   And even if death was almost like at his door, he wouldn’t accept any help from anyone at all.

[sxcredblood]

The push, though likely intended to put distance between them, merely caused Lucina to stumble and fall to her knees. The snow was far too deep for her to keep her balance, especially with the weight of a fully-grown man burdening her. She struggled to her feet once more, growling a bit more under her breath.

It was all beginning to seem far too familiar.

"You're being unreasonable!" the servant insisted, tightening her hold on his arm despite his protests. She honestly didn't know what he had been thinking, pushing himself to his limits in such a way. Surely he knew that if he stayed in that cold too long that dire consequences would follow? "If we don't find you a source of heat soon, you will die. Come on!" Despite the desperate tug she gave, she could feel his body temperature dropping (or had it already been that low?) and his limbs getting stiffer. It all seemed futile, but she wouldn't relent.

She hadn't known him for long. She couldn't even say she had enjoyed his company for that time. But Lucina couldn't lose anyone else. She simply couldn't.

[juvenileking]

   It was fucking cold.

   Not that he could feel it, but apparently everyone was talking about it. Everyone in the hotel, at least, but they seemed comfortable enough for not being outside. He couldn’t feel it. He didn’t know how cold it was, or what cold even was. That was why all of that pure, white snow didn’t scare the male. How cold was it? He had wondered that many times, so many times that the question didn’t hold any meaning anymore.

   Though no one dared to step outside (the snow barely allowed them), Noiz had always thought that nothing could stand in his way, especially due his total lack of pain. Nothing. He had been out in the snow now for quite some minutes, perhaps even an hour, and although the youth couldn’t properly feel it, moving his fingers was getting harder and harder by the time. His body had been acting a way that has never happened before — shivering, tired, he could barely move, not because of the snow, but because his legs didn’t let him.

   In fact, it was so cold — he wouldn’t know — that his body couldn’t even stand anymore. His legs, growing weak, lost most of the power they had to sustain the boy’s body, causing him to fall right in the snow.

[sxcredblood]

She had been silent for far too long, and perhaps that had been the issue.

Lucina and Noiz weren't exactly the most talkative pair on the block. She let him do as he pleased, largely because she still trusted that he had some thread of common sense and knew what he was doing strategically. The moment he trekked out into the winter storm, however, was the moment doubt truly set in.

And it was in the moment that her master went face-first into the snow that her fears became realized.

"Noiz!" Immediately, she materialized beside him, throwing secrecy and her Spiritual Form to the wayside. The Exalt knelt down and lifted her master up out of the snow as best she could, cursing under her breath. "Gods, you're freezing! You've got to get back inside." Just in speaking these words, however, her heart began to sink. They had been walking for quite a while, and so it was futile to even think they could reach the Hotel in time to warm him up. All the shops had been closed, and there was hardly any chance they could go knocking on doors with the abundance of enemies lurking about. Nonetheless, she looped his arm over her shoulder, hauling him through the thick layer of snow as best as she could.

"You fool! Why didn't you say anything?"

In this Lucina’s lifetime, nearly all of her worst fears have already been realized. Her parents have been taken from her, one of her trusted friends has become unreachable, and there was a point and time where the end of the world loomed overhead. Despite the fact that much of this was remedied with Grima's defeat, she still fears loss overall. Loss of the rebuilt kingdom, loss of her friends, and loss of all that those before her died to protect.

Send ♫ for a music/sound headcanon

Lucina both loves and hates music. Music allows her an escape from her everyday duties, and acts as a calming force. Unfortunately, sometimes such an escape can also be a cleverly disguised trap. When she takes a break from her constant forward motion, it's all too easy for her to think on how the unchangeable could had once been changed.

To say Lucina is a restless sleeper is an understatement. Her sleeping sessions are brief, light, and just enough to get by on. Duty calls, after all.

Calm Before the Storm [RDH Open]

Ryu had taken his time making preparations since finding his lodgings. He knew that he would not run out of his ninja tools so long as he was a Servant but still he found himself checking each piece of his equipment by hand. Even in life, the Dragon Sword had never dulled and likely would never dull, but even so the ninja did not neglect its care. The blade was oiled, wiped, powdered, wiped again, and finally oiled one final time before being replaced in its sheath. Standing from his kneeling position, Ryu replaced the sheathed sword on his back before replacing the cleaning materials into their case and setting it on a nearby shelf.

He had found in his time searching for this place that he could only maintain his spiritual form for so long without a proper master, so he would need to rely on his own abilities to roam the city unseen. And so, rather than exit through the front door of the apartment, Ryu walked to one of the windows looking out upon the city and, opening it just enough to fit through, slipped out and into the night.

Leaping to a lower roof than his own apartment, Ryu landed in a roll and came up running, sprinting silently and leaping swiftly from roof to roof, keeping his senses open to try and detect any opposing Servants who may be careless enough to not conceal their own energies as they roamed the city.

Information comes first…after that, the war will truly begin.

[sxcredblood]

Lucina was hardly one to roam aimlessly, but she supposed there was a first time for everything. With her master out for the time being and their hotel room being just as cold as the air outside (really, did Noiz ever even get cold?), it seemed like the most entertaining alternative.

And so she walked the streets of Fuyuki City, her eyes glancing from building to building despite the fact that she was in spirit form for the time being. Whenever she reached an empty stretch of sidewalk, the Exalt would to release her Spiritual Form and choose to walk in the Material Body instead. It was an odd sense of relief, to be physically present in the world instead of an invisible ghost of oneself. It was the little things like the breeze in her hair becoming less and less familiar that reminded her of her status as a Servant in a war she hadn't chosen to fight.

And it was also the little things like the chill that ran up her spine when movement caught her eye across the rooftops and a presence (however faint) became known. Lucina froze in her tracks. Her jaw cleanched at the prospect of being faced with an enemy she could barely see with the absence of her master at her side, but it was far too late to mask her presence. Besides, it wasn't as if she was able to hide in her Spiritual Form. All she could do was draw Falchion and pray silently as she scanned the rooftops for whoever (or whatever) was lurking about.

After a few moments of silence passed, she resumed walking, her eyes fixed on the spot she had last seen movement at. With the lack of citizens wandering about, she supposed a civil conversation was in order. "I mean you no harm, Servant, but your stealth unsettles me. Could come down from wherever you are?"

[juvenileking]

   Too bad for Lucina, smartass answers didn’t really work against him unless he didn’t like the one speaking to him. It’s not that he liked Lucina, but she was his Servant — a tool, nothing else — and certainly, she could have been worse, but she was not. She obeyed him like she should, like a real tool, and he couldn’t be any more grateful.

   That being said, from her smartass answer only came yet another smartass answer, which ironically enough, wasn’t meant to sound like it. Noiz was just being honest, nothing more, nothing less. A little thought, which only took him a few seconds, and his green hues didn’t move an inch. “Hmm, yeah. I think you would." He was her Master, after all. Shouldn’t she obey all of his orders?

[sxcredblood]

His frank reply caused a furrow in her brow (if it could possibly crease any further than it already had, that is). Not necessarily because it was preposterous, but because it was, in fact, just the opposite of preposterous. She had been placed under him for a reason, however absurd it may have seemed, and they could only achieve their goal through cooperation. Such antics, however...

"Well perhaps you'd best think again. We have more important things to worry about. Dancing will be sidelined for now." As much as she despised herself for it, the Exalt couldn't quite bring herself to say "permanently". To be perfectly honest, Lucina wouldn't be beyond executing such an act if he truly, sincerely ordered her to. That was her duty, after all. However, she did still have some shred of faith that her master wouldn't waste time on such ridiculous things. What he did with that shred of faith was completely to his own discretion.

[sxcredblood]

new autoplay!! went for a more "future past"-ish vibe this time. also! i'm a bit lacking on threads for Lucina, so if any of you would like to thread with her just shoot me a message or grab my attention on my twitter! Bet's out, for now!

[juvenileking]

↻ lend me your sword and i shall lend you my... rabbits?

[juvenileking]

   Lucina was her name, though whatever Ylisse was it really didn’t interest the male much. Most likely the place she came from, and considering he only knew of Germany and some places in Japan, she could be of literally anywhere. Her next words, however, were the ones who hit him harder. Master. Though memories were still a bit fuzzy, that term didn’t sound strange. A ritual, a voice, something about the Holy Grail— Ah. That’s right. He had been summoned to a war of sorts, in order to acquired an omnipotent wishing artifact. Whatever it was that he wished for, he did not know. To be able to feel pain, just like everyone else? His younger self might have wished for that, but after so many years of being the weird one, whether he were to understand it or not… A lot of thought had to be put into it.

   He was her Master, and though those words didn’t make much sense to him, she was something like a Servant. How or why he knew those things, Noiz didn’t know at all, but all that knowledge had been given to him in some weird way. They were to… fight in that war, right? Or something of the such. The idea didn’t strike him as very pleasant — if he were to do something, he could do it by himself, but the very fact she was like an Allmate — a tool, not a machine, but something of his possession to be used for his own interest — didn’t bother him as much as it would have.

   ”Yeah—" A short answer, almost like he was unsure of the whole thing. Being suddenly trusted into a war over an omnipotent artifact, of which Noiz wasn’t not even sure if it was real. All of it sounded almost like a trap. “You’re my Servant, right?" An euphemism, it was. Not a Servant, but a weapon. That’s what she was, and that’s what he saw her as.

[sxcredblood]

It was odd, to be quite honest. It had been quite some time since she had every truly answered to another person, yet her sense of duty remained strong within her. Both her supposed duty to the blonde and her duty to her country rang true, compelling her finally to address him in a far more formal manner than one of his scruffy appearance would normally prompt.

"Correct. As a Heroic Spirit of the Saber class and as an honorable soldier, I will do everything in my power to obtain the grail for you." Though her words were quite respectful, she chose not to bow. She was his underling, that much would not change. But in the back of her mind, she was still the Ruler of her own country. As long as he deserved it, she would give him the utmost respect. That would not stop her from holding her head high and acting as she always had as one of Exalted blood. In fact, as she was a leader at heart, she was already raring to go even as she spoke of such long-term goals.

"It's best to act quickly, while most pairs are unaccustomed to each other. What is your suggested strategy, Master?" Her hand strayed to Falchion almost subconsciously, and she rested her palm on the pommel of the sacred sword. 

[juvenileking]

   Oh? That was quite interesting, to say the least. The power of a Command Seal could do that, regardless of whether his Servant wanted to do it or not. Though Noiz was never really one to force people into doing something they didn’t want to (mostly because he didn’t have that much power, but there was never a reason to), it’s not really like he would ask Lucina to do such thing. The male knew how important those Seals were.

   Speaking of which, though, being her Master, didn’t it mean she had to obey his order regardless if a Command Seal were used? It was almost like she was an Allmate herself, he deduced, but the woman before him had a will of her own — unlike those machines.

   ”Even if I don’t use a Command Seal, as your Master, if I ask you to dance that, would you?" Basically, Noiz just wanted to know how loyal to his words she would be. Not that it really interested him much, but curiosity was a scary thing.

[sxcredblood]

Though she was relieved he had decided to stray away from the use of Command Seals for the time being, the loaded question he asked certainly concerned her. She wasn't quite sure what to make of it, or whether she truly had an answer for him or not. Of course, it was her duty to follow each and every order he gave. At the same time, however, Lucina was not fond of twirling Falchion around like a baton to the tune of a song about bargain stores.

A pause. How to best answer this without outright denying him? "I am a Heroic Spirit, brought across time and space for the express purpose of winning the Holy Grail. What do you think?" A little more smartass-sounding than she had originally intended, but she decided it would suffice.

[juvenileking]

↻ lend me your sword and i shall lend you my... rabbits?

   All he could remember was nothing, and all the hints of past memories that presented themselves blurry and slowly fading from his mind was a single piece of paper with quite some recommendations for books and the like, as well as an address for what the assumed it was a library. He couldn’t just muster the strength of finding out how or why he had such thing in hands. There seemed to be something else, something that if put enough concentration into, it was like he was connected to someone, as if there was some kind of energy flow between him and another person. Plain bullshit he called it, there was no such thing. Not even the link between him and his Allmates made him feel like that.

   Part of his soon-to-be lost memories was just how he ended up in such place. It wasn’t Midorijima anymore, though it apparently still seemed to be Japan. Was he in the main island? He couldn’t just figure out how he had ended up there at all. Strange. Even stranger, as if matters couldn’t get worse, was his surroundings. It was a very expensive-looking room, a sight he was more than used seeing, but it didn’t seem to be somewhere familiar. In an attempt to get up and explore the local, fatigue suddenly hit him like it had never before. He was extremely tired, as if something had drained all of his energy. Had it been Rhyme? Not even once Noiz had experienced such tiredness, his body almost begging him to come back to bed and sleep through the rest of the day.

   He wasn’t going to comply, though. There was more important matters at hand, as well as finding out why he was so tired.

   Though, the answer came to him before Noiz even began looking for it. Or her. The answer, for at least one of his questions, was the girl waiting for him outside the room.

   Quite some minutes went by as the male just stared at her, trying to discover just who she was. His kidnapper? No, it didn’t seem right. In fact, he felt like she was almost someone who belonged to him, as if his whole energy had been put into her. And if he concentrated enough (though he didn’t), that strange feeling of being connected to someone was stronger than ever, the other half of that link being right in front of him.

   ”Who are you?”

[sxcredblood]

Opening her eyes to an unfamiliar location was becoming tiring, to say the least. The moment Lucina's vision came into focus, an onslaught of knowledge assaulted her mind. Her head pounded briefly, and she winced before bringing her hand to her temple as if it would relieve the pain. After a few moments, however, the ache receded. Everything had become clear.

Ylisse. Now that she vaguely understood her circumstances, it was the one thing that consumed her thoughts. How would they fare in her absence? What would happen to her friends? And more importantly: could the fabled Holy Grail she had been tasked in winning fix the damage the Grima had done to her homeland?

It was then that the door opened, revealing a young man likely no older than she. The pieces were slowly starting to fall in to place, especially when she realized she was currently outside of a hotel room. She already had an idea of who he was, considering the situation at hand.

"I'm Lucina, Exalt of Ylisse." As she spoke, she could feel her veins beginning to pulse with a strange force. Lucina had never truly delved into the study of tomes and magic as her legendary aunts once had, so to say the feeling was foreign would have been a colossal understatement. Even with her brief experiences in magic, however, what she felt seemed...different. A part of the pulsations didn't seem to belong to her; instead, it seemed that the man before her held dominion over them. That could only mean one thing.  "I take it you're my master?"

[juvenileking]

He was at least grateful that place had good internet connection. None of the websites seemed to have been hijacked either, much to the informant’s pleasure. And a quick trip to MeTube had provided him quite… something.

And hey, he truly wasn’t kidding. The concept of what they called Command Seals was quite easy to grasp, but Noiz wanted to know exactly how they worked. ”Yo. If I order you, can you do this?”

And so, he showed his Servant this video.

[sxcredblood]

Though Lucina had been fortunate enough to gain some instant knowledge of technology upon becoming a Heroic Spirit, she couldn't quite understand her master's fascination with the internet (or the strange "mee-umhs" he seemed to take an interest in). Of all his odd findings, though, the video definitely took the cake.

"Where did--?! How did you--?!" A deep breath. Appalled yet oddly intrigued, Lucina slowly took a step back, brow furrowed at her master. "In theory, yes. Though I don't know why you'd even want to..."

Naga, help her. Gods, help her. Anyone.
