Reinhilda Edelstein | 27 | Enchantress | Vorgaren | Human

Someone's glaring at him. Spoiler: It's Rein.

Someone was very much glaring at him and Roderich didn’t even need to look to know who it is. But just because he could tell he was being glared at didn’t mean he was going to acknowledge it.

So he tried his best to walk the fuck away.

It was the honest truth. And as much as it pained him to be so blunt with his sister on a matter he knew she cared strongly about, he couldn’t lie to her. If he were not blunt, she would continue like this, attempting to get him back on the path she desired him to be on. 

“…You needn’t do that. No use worrying yourself over what you cannot change.”

The heavens would fall before she ever gave up on him. She only had one brother, after all.

“I’m an Edelstein. We’re stubborn,” Reinhilda had been fixing him with a hard look as she spoke, but now her eyes soften just briefly, “Of all people, you, little brother, should know that.”

"Mm, a mage, are you?"

It took Lovino a moment a process that he was being spoken too. “Sorry m’lady, I was taken by your beauty. But yes I am a mage,do you require my assistance in any way?”

“Just a couple here and there nothing more, nothing less. I do have my favorites. I just  want to be prepared especially during these times of war cause you never know what will be thrown at you.”

She hummed, gaze dragging across the scenery before her as her hands shifted to rest on her waist, “You’re not wrong there. It never hurts to be prepared.” She glanced up, lips pursed, “Who was your teacher?”

"Have eyes for Roderich, do you now?"

Antonio could feel his face burning at the mention of Roderich’s name. “I would be lying if I said I didn’t. It is a bit complicated you see, things are a bit one sided at least that’s what I told myself.”

[wieldingelegance-blog]

She raised her perfectly shaped eyebrows, hands resting on her staff, “One-sided? Is that how you see it?” 

Hm... This could prove to be more interesting than she had previously thought.

Roderich almost wanted to flinch. He knew all too well that his sister only wanted the best for him. And he did care, he truly did. They only had each other, after all. But Roderich was stubborn, determined to stick to his morals and the life he had chosen to lead.

“…To you, perhaps. But I assure you, I really am just fine.” He finally brought his gaze up to meet his sister’s. “I have no regrets, Reinhilda.”

And that tore like teeth through flesh. She would prefer if he regretted, not because it would cause him pain, no, not at all-- that wasn’t ever what she wanted, never, never-- but because there might’ve still been a chance to bring him back if he did. God, she could only pray for so long.

“Then I suppose I’ll continue having enough for both of us,” Her tone was crisp, all business and unfeeling. How far it was from the truth.

Ah, yes, that all too familiar tone that was a sure sign that Reinhilda meant business. It was much too difficult for Roderich to keep his gaze on her, eyes flicking back and forth and he tried to appear composed and not at all intimidated by his sister. He was silent a moment before speaking in a grumble.

“…Have a little faith in me, sister. I am doing well for myself, you cannot deny it.”

She noticed. In all truth, she didn’t like this at all. She despite it, really, but when he spoke like that as if everything was alright, as if things were all really just music and fun-- It was too much. He was all she had left.

“Outwardly,” The one word scraped like nails against a chalkboard.

A part of Roderich wanted to give a scathing reply about how he didn’t like it when she kept sticking her nose in his business. The other part valued his life far too greatly for that. So, he just let out a frustrated huff, averting his gaze. “I just don’t want you worrying so much about me. I’m doing just fine, you know.”

“Roderich Sebastian Edelstein,” The name rolled smoothly off her tongue, her tone level, far too level, “You and I both know our ideas of fine differ greatly. There is no way that you, Roderich, will ever be fine unless a miracle of the Great Light above occurs.”

She narrowed her eyes, pausing for the effect, “Don’t try to tell me you’re just fine.”

“Oh yes but of course.” Lovino probably had come a bit too strong with that comment, time to tone it down so he didn’t scare her away. “I have been trained under the earth branch, though curiosity has led me to dabble in others mainly to help with survival.” 

“Others you say?” She cocked a brow, fascinated by what he had said, “Nothing more than dabbling though I assume? It’s never wise to attempt to tackle the mastery of multiple in a mere human lifespan.”

"That guy over there has been staring at you." (Idek help)

“Has he now?” Reinhilda had noticed that there had been someone staring at her. Unfortunately with her looks and aura, it was a common occurrence though she would have to admit, it was grating on her nerves. She turned her attention back to the elf before her, hands folded daintily across her lap, “And what do you plan to do about it?”

[theshortestelf-blog]

He blinked. “Honestly, I didn’t plan further than telling you that he was. But…” he stepped away for a second and moved towards the man that was still staring at them.

He easily managed to tell him to fuck off politely. After he was done he made his way back to her. “There, problem solved.”

[wieldingelegance-blog]

She watched with concealed amusement as the elf told the man off. If there was one thing she could appreciate it was consideration, and she would have to admit, that had been considerate of him.

Still, she had a reputation to uphold. She responded with a neutral expression across her features, “Mm, I see you have. Kind of you,” A pause. “Seeking to gain my favor or simply bored?”

Though Roderich was used to his sister’s fussing, he was certainly glad when she finally took a step back.

He frowned slightly, brow furrowing. “I see. So you deliberately came here knowing I’d be here as well, then? Or was it just a coincidence that we happened to be in the same town at the same time and you decided to find me due to that.”

She folded her hands in front of her, answering him with both brows now raised, “I planned it, so that I would be in town when you would be here because I knew that I could accomplish two things in one trip this way. Don’t tell me you don’t like seeing me,” She tutted, eyebrows dropping once again, “That would be terribly insensitive of you, Roderich.”

Roderich let her do as she please with only a slight frown as she adjusted his clothes, used to this sort of thing after growing up with her. “Mm, I see. Interesting then that we happened to run into each other, don’t you think?”

“Not at all,” She hummed, brushing off bits of imaginary dust from the tops of his shoulders before stepping back once again, “I know how to find you when I need to. You aren’t difficult to track, I hope you realize?” She raised one brow in challenge.

Reinhilda paused, seemingly startled by the flirtatious comment. She hadn’t expected that answer, and so it took her a moment to gather her composure once again, “Not particularly, no. Simply curious as to your branch of magic.”

It was always wise to keep tabs on which mages were out and about these days, after all.

Roderich fiddled with his glasses, not meeting his sister’s gaze. “Of course, of course. I’ll make sure to visit next time. My apologies.” 

Pausing briefly, he glanced to Reinhilda with a slight frown. “…What brings you all the way out here, though? I highly doubt you traveled this far just to scold me for not visiting more often.”

She, in reality, had some things to purchase that could only be found in Rael-Ghel as well as some contacts to meet. Unfortunately, the second bit wasn’t something Roderich could or should’ve been aware of.

Reinhilda sighed, walking closer to adjust his lapels, “Just to buy a few things. It does get a bit dull up in the mountains all alone, I’ll have you know. This is supposed to be a nice change of pace for me.”

Roderich, actually, had many supporters and fans through the kingdom who thought his lifestyle was fascinating. But Roderich didn’t feel the need to point that out. And while he did respect his older sister, he did also believe he was equally capable of making his own life choices.

“…Ah. Yes. The capital.” Roderich seemed to shrink slightly under her gaze. “Well, the next time I’m in Vorgaren, I’ll stop by.” Even though he’d literally just been in Vorgaren a few weeks prior.

Of course almost everyone you could ask would say that they were capable of making their own life choices. Of course that was what Roderich would say. Reinhilda, for one, was quick to disagree that that was the case. Of course, there was little she could do about it now.

She narrowed her eyes, drawing herself up to her full height, the impressive measure of five foot three, “Yes, I pray you will, or I might just have to come and seek out like this again. I will say it doesn’t do well for my mood.” She huffed, making her threat slightly less effective.

When Reinhilda finally let go of his ear, Roderich took a step back, rubbing the side of his head with a wince. 

“…You know I’m busy. I visit when I can.” He let out a sigh. “But, fine. I’ll try to stop by whenever I’m nearby. But that isn’t so often, you realize.” 

For as much as the Edelstein siblings bickered, Roderich still did care greatly for his sister, even if she was overbearing at times. She was family, and even if she didn’t agree with Roderich’s life choices, he still did care.

To be honest, it was doubtful that anyone would agree with Roderich’s life choices, but again, how was it her right to say? Of course, besides the fact that she was his only surviving family, older, wiser and an accomplished enchantress. She obviously had no right to say anything.

“The capital of Vorgaren,” Reinhilda deadpanned, “There is no way you don’t pass by there unless you don’t go to Vorgaren.”

Roderich knew too well his sister’s strength and knew better than to fight against her when she was clearly so upset with him for some reason. Wincing, he attempted an exasperated look towards her, features set in a frown.

“And what, pray tell, have I done this time to warrant you thinking I am an idiot? …And really. Let go. You’re hurting me.”

Unfortunately for Roderich, it was kind of... everything he’d ever done. She wasn’t one to forget easily, and she was still upset with him for... running off as a bard.

“For one, you never visit,” She couldn’t really blame him, seeing as how she usually greeted him, “And...” Reinhilda let go, brushing her hands off on her skirt, her lips curved into a frown, “You should. Visit, that is. And more often.” 

She’d never admit it, but she did miss him from time to time.
