@rhodesisle​ ❝ A ruler with no concern for his people is no ruler at all. ❞ Pram @ ash FEH sentence starters.

“...Is that how you think of me, Anya? He who holds no concern for his people?” ...Ah, this was rather awkward. Part of him was happy to speak with her again, but..the other was deeply burdened. The few times they spoke nowadays were always like this, she bore him scorn whilst he bore her sadness. They never spoke to one another as siblings anymore, they never spoke to one another as anything less than comrades. Even with that, it felt daunting to keep conversing with she who resents him. 

His throat was engulfed in an aching pain. Did he want to...cry? Maybe. That’s certainly what it felt like; his chest felt as if it was shattered like glass, scattered into pieces. That’s how it always felt with her...where did everything go so wrong between them? 

“You may perceive me how you wish, I suppose. I cannot force you to think of me fondly.” That’s what he said, but it is not what he believes. He wanted to desperately rekindle their bond, but such a feat seemed impossible for his hands to accomplish. His arms remained at his sides, but what he really wanted to do was reach out and hug her - apologize for failing as her elder brother. Perhaps that’s what she meant?

..Whatever the case, he bites down on his lower lip - but forces himself to lock eyes with her. 

“..I know not the ordeals you suffered to become the Priestess you are today, Anya; what I do know is that you’ve resented me ever since. Perhaps it’s because we now both represent two different factions of Kjerag, or perhaps it’s simply something happened in my time away. Not a moment has gone by where I haven’t missed you or Encia, we are all that remain of our family - why must we spend such days in isolation from one another? Why is it you choose to be disappointed rather than proud of me?” Once he finished speaking, he let out a heavy sigh - before shaking his head and performing a salute. 

“...Forgive my outburst, Pramanix. It was unprofessional and shan’t happen again.” Turning his back, he quickly retreats so that he may not hear her response.

@rhodesisle​ (katalina)

A sigh left her lips as she adjusted her hat, peering around carefully. The gears of her mind were already spinning on another prank--she just wasn’t sure what she wanted to do yet. There were always the classics, of course, but if you relied too much on things like that, they got stale and boring. Still, she liked harmless mischief, hoping it made things a little brighter for others, given the stressful situations they were in almost constantly. 

Well, she supposed there was a part of her that wanted to distract herself from her own problems. Even here, they were together...yet, not, at the same time. 

In spite of herself, Cliffheart let out another heavy sigh, trying to shove those thoughts out of her head. Everyone else had enough on their minds, she needed to be able to lighten that load. Couldn’t do it if she was wrapped up in her own problems! Though really, something should be done eventually, before it was too late..But there was only one person she could really consider asking, but they were busy enough.

As if on cue, she nearly walked into the very person she’d been thinking about, her eyes widening slightly before a bright smile found its way onto her lips.

“Hey, doc! I was just thinking about you!” Funny how things like that worked. But...she still didn’t think she could bring it up.

@rhodesisle liked for a starter.

Like any other operation, Enciodas directed himself to the front line. After all, he took direct charge whilst Katalina was comatose. Now that she was awake, he no longer needed to keep that role (though he still reviews operation reports). Katalina was going to announce that she needed to halt her involvement with direct involvements against Reunion, but she was using this operation of repelling them as her excuse to do it. Something he respected, albeit did not understand. 

It didn’t take long, not with him being involved alongside the likes of Jessica, Gravel and Lappland. The members of Reunion they were repelling were either forced to retreat or killed on the spot. They weren’t anything special, simply weak minded fools who chose the wrong following. 

However, for the first time in many years, he made a critical error. He allowed one member of Reunion to live. Perhaps to save the eyes of the current Katalina who was still coming into the mess her old self was part of, or perhaps it was an attempt at becoming a the man his sisters remember (or an exemplary father?) again.

As he turns his back to the last remaining member, Katalina was left in the Reunion member’s line of sight; and without a second thought, they charged at the seemingly defenseless Doctor with a knife pulled from their boot. They did, however, give their charge away via their loud footsteps, which did not go unnoticed to Enciodas’ ears.

“Katalina!” Much like the member of Reunion, SilverAsh acted without thinking twice; springing directly in-front of them before their blade could reach Katalina. Though they were just mere inches from Katalina, their path was blocked by the towering figure that defeated them moments ago -- but their blade still had momentum on its side, so rather than Katalina, the blade was to pierce SilverAsh. 

Rather than pierce into him, Enciodas moves (just barely) to the side as to not allow them to directly stab him, rather cut him. Which of course, is exactly what happens; though it is not a stab wound, he is still left with a gash across his waist to the corner of his back. He doesn’t allow this to go unpunished, and immediately brings his own blade to the Reunion member’s chest - piercing their heart and killing them where they stood. 

As their body falls and lay motionless, Enciodas looks over his shoulder to Katalina to assure she was untouched. “..Art thou untouched? ..Good.”

rhodesisle replied to your post: Skadi: Threatens violence against all these girls....

Try killing them with kindness, they’re not used to it. It’ll scare them more than anything else.

“I.. really don’t believe that.” She gave Grani 1 moment of kindness, and the peppy horse won’t bugger off now. Skadi does not trust this!!!

@rhodesisle​     (  src.  )  ➤   ❛ I’ve a devil of a habit for being right. ❜ //From Doc Katalina.

❛ is that .. right?  ❜  there were many things unique to the doctor, and her ‘habit of being right’ was truly one of them.  but, being right all the time and being right a good amount of the time are two different things ..  she ponders, if briefly, has the doctor ever felt the sting of a wrong decision? 

❛ as advice from a painter,  mistakes are unavoidable.  so .. be cautious, even with the habit.   ❜

“oh my god, why didn’t you tell me it was this bad?!” //From doc!

“ I’m fine, Doctor- Nearl ensured my safety, after my... my error. “

Her “error” involved leaping in to intercept a lurker before they harmed one of her fellow operators- which, unknowingly, put her in the sights of several Crossbowmen.

Needless to say, while she was successful, she came out of it looking like a pincushion. If it wasn’t for Nearl’s quick action, the specialist would’ve likely died a pincushion- the bolts had long since been removed from her, but the injuries were clear as day, and seeing the Doctor fret over her, Gravel couldn’t help but feel... ashamed, for lack of better word.

She was a professional, however, and a Knight. She wouldn’t let this get her down, and she wouldn’t let it show. With a smile, Gravel held herself high as she stepped past, refusing to let her injuries show.

“ Come on now, wasn’t that exhilarating? Can you feel it in your heart? These moments of adrenaline are addicting~... “

@rhodesisle​ “ i wish i could hate you. ” Pram @ Ash sentence starters. 

Like a knife, Pramanix’s words pierce into his heart and twisted to cause an aching pain. He’s left essentially speechless for what felt like hours, and although he truly was distraught hearing her - making it seem like he was an immovable object made these interactions easier. In truth, he desperately wanted to reconnect with Anya - but she has, in all ways, shut him out. 

“..Is that so, Pramanix? That’s unfortunate. If we are sent to the field together, ensure that your judgement isn’t clouded by your view of me. I’ll make plans to stray from your sight should that day come.” The air was thick, and rather awkward; and much like usual, their interactions these past years have been quick and to the point. So with that thought in mind, he brings his feet together and stiffens his body as he gives her a salute out of respect.

Once a satisfactory amount of time passes, SilverAsh exits his stance and turns his back; embarking the opposite way of his sister. However, while his back is turned to her, his lips curve (if only a little) to form the faintest smile. “..I’m glad, Anya - that you do not completely hate me. It truly is relieving.” His words are mumbled, and very likely not all of what he said was heard - but that was fine. 

Knowing she couldn’t entirely hate him was enough, even if it still brought him pain - her full hatred would bring him a much worse amount of grief.
