wow i found hubert’s post timeskip inspiration guys
time to rethink my strategy . awakenfate· :
❝ Predictable, seems that you’re set on taking my more advantageous pieces out first. ❞
Taking his bishop from him was guaranteed at this point, its all a matter of how. The use of her pawn would be simple enough, but it’s not as strong of a move as the one she desired. It was dull and lackluster. No, she wanted to keep him on his toes, snap back to remind him that she wouldn’t be so easily crowded by him. Clearly, it was time for more of her signature flair and daring to keep his attention where it is.
❝ Queen to f6. And I take your bishop. ❞
❝ REGRETTABLE , but at least you did it with panache . ❞
HE LAUGHED A LITTLE , in his creepy sort of way , as he contemplated his next move . He usually didn’t play this offensively -- no , Hubert was very much a defensively minded player , who always liked to shore up his back lines like a sentinel before he struck , so he would always have a backup plan at the ready , but Rosa was bringing out quite the daredevil in him . Nay , it was time he reverted to his old tactics , if only but for a moment .
❝ TIME FOR ME to shore up my defence . Pawn to A3 .❞

you’re playing quite the gambit . awakenfate· :
❝ What, can’t concentrate because of the lovely sound of my voice? And I know. I am skilled, but it’s good that you recognize it. ❞
She didn’t like this. Hubert was back to setting the tone of the match, her moves being forced into a reactionary manner that didn’t quite suit her. It’s as It’s a far more aggressive move than he’s played before, but she’s ready to answer just as she’s given. Her knight was in his sights, she’s all too aware of that fact, and it’s too good a piece for her to want to give up so easily. But if he sought it so badly, she could take that bishop from him within a turn, without a doubt. Still, to relieve some pressure… she’ll attempt baiting him again. Either way, she has a contingency plan.
❝ Copy cat. Who’s being rude, now, hm? Though I suppose imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Pawn to h6. ❞
❝ I SUPPOSE YOU have me figured out on that one . ❞
HE WAS AT AN IMPASSE NOW AS TO WHAT HE COULD DO NEXT ; either he could move to take her pawn or move to take her knight . Either way he would have to sacrifice his bishop to one of her pieces , so it was his job to make sure that his piece was not lost in vain . He chuckled too at the thought of them being at yet another impasse when it came to the number of pieces each had on the board -- it seemed they were destined to remain equal , at least during the early stages of the game .
❝ BISHOP TO F6 , and your knight is out of play . ❞
Hubert’s coffee break.
thought : if hubert and ashe married , he could end up being hubert ubert . . . .
Say it. Say it out loud.

time to up the stakes . awakenfate· :
❝ Forgive me if I’m a bit unconvinced. I’m unconventional, and it throws you off. Admit it. ❞
The markings of a frown nearly made their way to her features, out of annoyance more than anything. A sacrifice it would have to be, and this early on in the game, she can afford those. She fell into step with this dance quickly, coming to the same conclusion he did: after this bit of give and take, they would find themselves back at their stalemate. But still, take she would.
She’s quick to answer him, showing no regret over her lost piece. ❝ Pawn to d5. And I’ll take yours. ❞ Leaning back into her chair, she took in the board once more, mind ticking away at the possibilities before them.❝ What will you do now, I wonder? ❞
❝ THE ONLY THING throwing me off is your constant talking . Your skill is undeniable though , I shall admit . ❞
HE PERUSED HIS OPTIONS ON THE BOARD WHICH WERE MANY ; he could take her pawn with his knight , lest he sacrifice that piece too as her knight would take his , or he could move his knight to a different area to escape her bishop , but that would put his valuable king in danger of being taken , and Hubert had no intention of losing this early on . Nay , he was going to be coy -- why not use her own pincer maneuver against her ~ ?
❝ I SHALL TAKE a page out of your book , I think . Bishop to G5 . ❞
how very coy . awakenfate· :
She chuckled along with him, and yes, perhaps her smile is more genuine little as a result too. Praise may come her way often, but she wasn’t immune to it. Far from it. Especially when her beauty wasn’t the focus. ❝ I hope so too. You and I could have many conversations together. ❞
❝ Perhaps… some that involve little to no words at all. ❞
Rosamaria looked up at him from beneath her dark lashes, coy as ever. Invade she did, and she smirked. Her move had been the equivalent of lightly smacking a lover’s hand away form where it hadn’t been given permission to touch just yet. And while it did spur him into slightly more aggressive action as she wanted, he was still keeping his pieces close. ❝ Aw, I’m sorry. You were practically begging me to. But do you feel threatened by it? You’re already moving your queen. ❞
She needed to draw him out further, reclaim a little bit of ground.❝ Pawn to d5. ❞
❝ ME , THREATENED this early on ? Perish the thought . ❞
HE CHUCKLED IN HIS USUAL SLIGHTLY EVIL SOUNDING WAY , his gloved palm raised to his chin as he spotted a glaring error with that move . Ah , it was almost as if she was giving him a little bit of a conundrum -- he could take her pawn with this one move , yet she too would be able to take his pawn after that move . . . it would go back to an equal standing once again . Still , the possibility of having more pieces on the board than Rosamaria , if even just for a short moment , filled him with quite the childlike glee . This newfound rivalry of theirs was turning him into quite an extroverted form of himself .
❝ PAWN TO D5 and I take your pawn . ❞
intruding on my corner are we ? awakenfate· :
❝ Hm. If I did, I wouldn’t give you even a moment of my time. Rest assured of that fact. Though I might have to come back for more if you’re successful in keeping me here longer an hour. Quick little matches are fun, but not nearly as satisfying. ❞
Her brow arched in response to his play, her body leaning in towards him and the board by an increased increment, intrigued. Slow, steady, it appeared he wanted to take control of that side of the board. With the way his pieces were pushing forward… they were beginning to make her own movements appear a bit conservative by comparison, and he failed raise to the bait of her pawn. Of course he didn’t.
A slow smile curled her lips upward. ❝ Bishop to b4. ❞ Risky, just as he seemed to appreciate.
❝ OH ? WELL I DO hope I keep you here for a while then . You’re one of the only people in this place whom I can have an intelligent conversation with . ❞
HE LAUGHED AT HIS OWN ATTEMPT AT A JOKE ; though he enjoyed the company of quite a few of his classmates , it was only with people like Linhardt , for example , that he could have these types of conversations and intellectual challenges with . To find a new rival in Rosamaria was quite the delight for the magus , who thrived on the tactical challenges that such people provided for him . Her playing style was rather brazen , as she’d just moved her bishop straight into the territory that he was building up . Well , as they said , ‘twas best to fight fire with fire .
❝ HOW RUDE , invading my defences like that . . . Queen to C2 . ❞
FEEL FREE TO ADD AND GUSH ABOUT FIRE EMBLEM
me whenever i lay my eyes on rosamaria and her beauty and intelligence AMEN
quite the mind on her . awakenfate· :
❝ Well, I wouldn’t dare have someone calling me boring.To be frank, I noticed you during our mock battle weeks ago and I’ve been wondering what this would be like. A girl has to be a little aggressive as a result. ❞
When it came to the true Battle of the Eagle and the Lion, she knew he would be the one to focus her sights on. House leaders tended to receive most of the attention, but she knew better. Perhaps this little match between them would lend some further insight? Of course it will. Every bit of how his mind works, counts.
❝ No, I suppose you aren’t… ❞ She replied, eyeing the pawn as it moves beside his previous piece; defensive movements. But Rosamaria would be a fool not to recognize that he was already planning something. ❝ And while I do so enjoy being risky, pawn to e6. ❞ Best wait for him to reveal more, although she definitely… hm.
❝ I DON’T THINK anyone could describe you as boring . In fact , I hope you didn’t think such of me when you saw me in that mock battle . ❞
HE WAS MOST INTRIGUED BY HER PLAY as she now brought a pawn into the mix , interesting of note that she only moved it one space forward and didn’t take advantage of the two-space start rule for the pawn pieces as Hubert did earlier , yet he mused that it was most certainly a tactical choice . Ah , he had spent both of his previous moves making that same exact play with both of his pawns -- perhaps it was time to spice things up a little and change pace ~ ?
❝ WELL , I THINK I’ll take a page from your book . Knight to C3 . ❞

How dare you defy me!?” “Be careful… I could still poison you…” “I deeply regret having kept you alive.” “A coward’s eyes always see more of an enemy than there are present.” “Such a disgrace… that a child like you should attempt to strike me.” [THE BLACK SWORD] “Not even those who see the future can keep from carrying out their fates.” ”Why were you holding back? I was open several times…“ I suggests you do not concern yourself with this. …It won’t do you any good.” “I deeply regret handing you that sword…” “The pride that keeps you so fearless will be the thing that leads to your death.“ "Who are you!? Speak, or I’ll crush your head until your name falls out!” “You must demonstrate the overwhelming power of that sword.” “Kill many, and make no mistakes…” “Can you just stand by and let this nation sink into civil war!?” “The troops are in shambles… What should we do?” “…What exactly am I to you!?” “…To have lived an empty life like there was no point in being born…That is what I fear most…” “Let me show you that naivete has no place in battle!” “Yes… I killed a lizard. And I shall kill another!” “Go to sleep… for eternity!” "Do you say you mean to destroy the world!?” “From now on, I act on my own… For you…” [FATE] “He is a prince; we are but vagabonds. Your love amounts to nothing.” “Death cannot be avoided… But fate can be redirected.” “Please do not interfere with my slumber.” “What do you hope to gain…?” “Your rudeness continues… Tearing you limb from limb will not be punishment enough.” “Do not think you will die peacefully.” “Is this the beginning of the end of the world?” “I would rather fight death than wait for my cursed destiny to take me!” “I’m relieved that you’re all right…” “The wind here is tainted with selfishness.” “What is wrong, my child? You tremble.” “It seems I may need to use the whip to bring you back to your senses…” “Heroes wait for a dramatic entrance.” “I’ll draw them away and buy you some time.” “You don’t seem to understand that my friend’s death pains me terribly…” “I could crush your bones and drink your blood, but it would bring me no peace.” “I’m surrounded… I can’t escape…” “Take one more step and I shall run you through.” “I could be even more beautiful if I rouged my face with your blood.” "I will pay for my sins with my life.” “Two humans survive the end of the world…Only two will be spared…” [ARMAGEDDON] “I can’t bear it… Like a wolf, my hunger eats away at my very core…” “Dream of devouring all.” “The time to seize the world has arrived.” “‘Tis quiet… I no longer hear battle…” “They’re coming… Hurry!” “Could trying to fight this even be considered a battle?” “I wish I could see you one last time…“ "I’ll send you back to Hell.” “'Tis the end… This is Hell’s new home.” “You liar… You said we’d meet again…” “Look away from me! …I am insane enough…” “I’m so proud of you. I can leave with confidence.“ “We’ll meet at world’s end…” "Good, you’re alive…” “I think I overdid it…” “Are we the only ones who survived this…?” “We’re witnessing a miracle.”
