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

Ike Selune A soft sigh elicited from Ike. He was glad that he didn't have to immediately try to fight. True, it would have been over quickly but .. still. It didn't make the thought of what could have - and nearly did - occur any less annoying. His eyes glared sharply at the three men, making sure they all left rather than attempting to pull off any last second stunts to hurt the young lady. Only when they were completely out of his line of sight did he finally turn and face the young woman himself. There was definitely an .. exotic feel that seemed to surround her. His mind briefly went back to the same unanswered question he hadn't seemed to find an answer for. ... Are you trying to suggest the one thing you're missing in life is a partner? Even if that was true, it didn't feel right that this woman should make him think of things like that so hastily. Yet, was it truly that fast? He wouldn't live forever, after all. Maybe it was something he should think about? Later ... he inwardly scolded himself, finally forcing the thoughts to go away for the time being. Blue orbs looked right into the set of matching eyes across from him. His voice was gentle yet it held a slightly firm tone to it. I don't think you did but, to make sure, you didn't steal, did you? Granted, he wouldn't force her to return anything that she had taken if this was the case. He just wanted to see if she could be honest with him. That alone would be more than a good enough start. His head quickly shook from side to side as the woman insisted he hadn't needed to intervene. I'm used to helping others out. Plus, now that I see you're an archer, range is your forte. No offense meant, of course, but I've seen and worked with some skilled rangers. So at least from what I've seen, this much appears to be true. Ike couldn't help but raise an eyebrow as she seemed to avoid eye contact with him. Did this mean she was indeed guilty of stealing from those men? Or was there something else bothering her? His gaze then went to the small bag of coins as his head moved once more. It really was no trouble. You .. keep your money for yourself. I have ample amount of my own. Um, may I know your name, Miss? I am Ike. He could have added the part of being the captain of the Greil mercenaries, and perhaps should have. But for the time being, he wanted to have a more informal talk if at all possible. Ike had done tons of conversations with various royal or important people in the past. He wanted a break from that, if it was possible. For a few moments, the wind continued to surround Selune. It was as if her very soul was trying desperately to peer into Soren's, or at least determine if his words were genuine or not. When she couldn't hear any form of deceit in them, the wind turned into a breeze before finally vanishing completely. She'd trust him .. for now. But if she got any hints that this had all been an elaborate lie, Selune would have no qualms conjuring her magic once more. But gods help her, she wanted to believe him. It had been irritating for her to run into the most cold and cruelest people that seemed to exist. A change in what she was used to would not only be nice but even appreciated. Yes. It's .. been something I've always been able to do. It has also gotten me into trouble because of it. I don't usually mean to just conjure it up like that. Lately, it seems to react to certain emotions desperation, anger, fear, things like that. I've never had a tome though. I .. kind of self-discovered I had this ability at a young age. Needless to say, too many have been afraid to explain or teach it to me. This was partly true. If she knew of her heritage, however, she would know that was another contribution. But what she was saying wasn't wrong either. Her eyes softened as they looked up at the mage. A brief pause lingered between the two magic users before finally, Selune spoke once more. Um .. where exactly are we? I haven't had time to do more than run. So I've .. lost track of where I've been running towards. I know I used to be in Melior for a while. But ... I'm not sure where this is now.
