Thread: Fire Emblem: A New Revolution (Esyel & Beautiful Disgrace's 1x1)

Ike Selune As curious as Ike was about what made the young maiden giggle, it was another thing that he decided wasn't his business to know. She could speak up and explain if she so desred. But she hadn't so ... he wouldn't make her say where the chuckle had come from. His head tilted up slightly as she mentioned Alrune. Hmm .. it kind of sounds a bit familiar. Off the top of my head though, I can't say why or where from. I may have just seen it on a map or actually been there. I'll have to see for myself when we arrive in Crimea. His eyes lingered up toward the sky as he quietly studied it. It was beginning to get dark so it'd be wise to make haste. Nowhere was overly friendly after the sun vanished beyond the horizon though it especially seemed to hold true to forests. And if those bandits were determined to catch up to Katlynn ... they'd need to move. Now. It's quite alright. And, to be honest, much smarter if we continue to move. But if your legs are giving you that much trouble ... And with that, Ike's hands reached down as he easily swept Katlynn off her feet and into his arms. He made damn well sure all the same that his hands never rested in any inappropriate or sensual areas. My own map, it seems, vanished while I was on my vacation. Don't worry though, he reassured, resuming the walk towards Crimea. Most taverns have at least one inside. If nothing else, there tends to be one around the whole city. Many tourists and visitors go there. he added in a matter-of-factly tone. He wasn't trying to sound as if he was superior than her in intellect, more like attempting to teach her. She still held that naive aura if anything, it almost felt closer now that he was closer to her. Ike's eyes stayed focused ahead of them while his ears remained alert for any out of place noises. Even with Crimea coming into view, he wouldn't dare let himself be taken off guard. He'd made that mistake before in the past. No way was Ike going to easily repeat it. Even if Soren's reaction hadn't come out right, it hadn't been the worst either. She'd definitely experienced worse than being told it wasn't necessary to bow or thank someone. At that moment, Selune briefly tried to determine what exactly it was she was feeling. Curiosity? Hmm, not anymore. Gratitude? Well, obviously but that wasn't the only emotion. It was hidden, much like a well-trained assassin. She could feel its presence but pinpointing it, however, was a much easier said than done task. Hmm .. it'll probably come to you later. she decided, The name 'Crimea' made her swallow softly. She'd been almost positive that had been where she'd ran out of. In fact, she was damn sure about it. Her mind briefly pondered the same as Soren was that a smart idea? Probably not. At the same time, however, what else was nearby? That was an answer she didn't immediately know. And if the answer was 'nothing' ... that chance would have to be taken. A small sigh passed her lips as she managed a nod. ... Alright then. I'm probably going to need a miracle plus your cloak when we get there though. She probably should bring it up, that Crimea had been where she'd just left. But she didn't want to come off as more of a burden than she already was. He was doing so much for her. Wouldn't it sound just a tad ungrateful if she refused to cooperate? Worse than that, she'd seem like the worst student. And Selune definitely didn't want to give off the very wrong impression to him, more so when he was the first ally - dare she think friend - that Selune had had in years.
