[3]<Eyrilona Koelwyn> "...what 'bout Hydaelyn, though...?"
[3]<Wyrmblood Estinien> "If you think I would hesitate in the least to tell the Mothercrystal herself where she can shove her echo, you haven't been paying attention."
Eyrilona Koelwyn scoffs at you.
[3]<Eyrilona Koelwyn> "If only that'd work on 'er like it'd work on Alphinaud."
[3]<Wyrmblood Estinien> "Eyrilona, if I knew it would give you peace and keep you out of harm, I'd join hands with the Paragons themselves to shatter her."
Rose!! You’re so pretty!!! And sweet!! And you deserve all the love!!
Rose is in the back of my head yelling now. Any time someone says nice things to her it's just,,,,,,time to scream apparently. Thank you for happy yelling child instead of mad yelling child. Also she loves all of yours a dangerous amount.
This was super interesting so I’m giving it a shot. Kudos to @forgottenwind for the inspiration.
It hot.
Really hot.
Wasn’t it like a cool sixty five out? Aqua realizes that its just the kitchen. Every burner on the stove is on. The oven is cranked up to three hundred and fifty. She turns it up to three seventy five so the potatoes will bake faster. There’s only four people in there but its almost too noisy. There’s music going loud and the ticket machine never seems to stop going off. The rail above the salad station is packed with tickets. Like an orchestra she conducts the others. Each is given a task as she rearranges the tickets and barks out orders. Its not in a rude manner but her tone suggests urgency.
Singing along to the music, she cracks eight eggs into the simmering pot. The mage could already see the angry red marks on her hands and arms. She’s already burnt herself several times today. Suddenly she lets out a loud curse. Her finger has gone into the boiling water and Aqua could tell how much it hurt, but she continue to crack eggs through gritted teeth and colorful curses.
Sweat beads on her forehead as the heat intensifies while she moves around. Her only relief is the walk in fridge as she runs to grab ingredients. The chef calls through the window that he’s out of something, Aqua can barely understand through his thick accent but the brunette only nods and begins whatever task he has asked her to do. She does this while making orders herself and directs the others on what to do.
Each dish is plated with delicate efficiency. Quick. Clean. Elegant. Its how she works.
The chef calls to her again. She has to abandon her project and pass it over to someone else. She picks the one who’s shown the most skill and quickly explains how to finish it.
Aqua vaguely notes that they’ve all been at it for five hours at least. They must be exhausted if not at least dehydrated. The water mage follows the girl she has come to know so well to the front where a roaring fire burns in the large oven. She rushes over to the pizza line and begins working there with an even greater sense of urgency.
The chef is getting stressed, he’s snapping at his employees because the ticket rail just keeps multiplying. He’s chosen her as his target for the day. She continues to make food, blinking back tears of frustration, finding solace in her coworker’s attempts to cheer her up. She really does love working with them. They’re like a band of brothers she never had. She refused to let the chef see her tears. Aqua has a feeling she’s well versed on how to do this.
She works hard, sweating in front of the thousand degree oven. Aqua confirmed it was that temperature, a customer had asked and with a forced smile she answers as she stretches the raw pizzas on the metal peel. Several customers come up and compliment the food and her work. She stands a little straighter and her smile is more genuine. The keyblade wielder can see why she does it now. Its her passion.
Finally when things settle two hours later, Aqua can see her checking her phone. Her face lights up as she checks the blog. Someone must have answered a thread she was excited about.
When they arrive home, the water mage assumes the day is done. Aqua notes how she sits and medicates, blowing smoke rings into the air. The room begins to smell like the burnt herb but her demeanor quickly relaxes. Sore muscles are soothed and that powerful stance that demands attention melts into the couch. Her feet that were throbbing now have relief as she kicks off her shoes. Another bowl is packed. She’s smoking through it quickly and Aqua wonders why. She soon has her answer.
It seems like only minutes later shes changing, grabbing the keys and kissing her wife goodbye. Aqua notes she’s only been home for fifteen minutes. They go to the car where the brunette puts on her music, loud and pumping through the speakers. Her voice carries in the car as she sings along.
They’re out for several hours and the mage notices how she answers friends and threads on her phone in the store. Even at this point Aqua is exhausted and doesn’t know how she’s still going. They stop for food on the way but she knows it always isn’t the case. She’ll come home and cook if she needs to.
When all is put away at home and she’s finally free, she sits down with her medication, switches on the modest tablet and begins to write, looking forward to spending time with that who she knows to be her soulmate. Everything she does she does for her love. Something Aqua can relate to.
For someone who has been through so much in her life, Aqua considers her a warrior like her. Sisters in arms fighting their own battles. Both have fought through pain, hardship, witnessed the loss of a loved one and overcame their own personal darkness. But sometimes warriors need to be princesses too. Perhaps one day they’ll have their turn. Aqua hopes for the both of them.
