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

He was hugging her back. He was really, really hugging her. The feeling just made that warmth in her chest grow extremely hot. She started to get emotional as he embrace only tightened feeling his arms around her. Though she knew eventually that she had to stop, so she let him go reluctantly. He did the same and Katlynn just pushed back a strand of her hair and giggled only a tiny bit. Oh gosh, she was acting foolish but...Ike was...well he was so comforting, even though he probably didn't meant to be. When Katlynn looked up at Ike to give him another warm smile, she saw the expression on his face and it honestly surprised her. He looked so tough and manly but his cheeks seemed to be hot. From what? Her hugging him? Did he also feel that heat in his chest when he returned the hug? Ah...maybe she'd ask him about it at another time. Ah, well actually...I'm not sure if it's on the way, but I want to see the ocean. She admitted to him, looking away. I have...something I need to do there. If it's not on the way, it's okay. We will run into it when we find the island my father is on. Something she needed to do..it was something she had to do or she'd never forgive herself. In her backpack was a jar of ashes...the only thing she had truly cared about getting when she was run out of town. Her mothers ashes needed a resting place, and her mother loved the ocean. She wondered if Ike would find it strange that she carried such a thing. Most people got buried, but...her mother was treated differently just as she was. The villagers elected to burn her body...and Katlynn had no say in the matter. After it was all said and done, Katlynn just gathered what she could and for a long time she would just talk to that jar out of loneliness, calling it mom. It was time for her to set her mother free. Once she was done eating, he found no reason to keep standing there. So he continued on. At least she accepted his offer without giving him a tough time. Good. Though don't thank me yet. I have never taken on a student, though I feel as though I should at least try to help you. Something was bothering her. She looked like she wanted to say something, but didn't. Perhaps it was because he blamed her magic for her misfortune. Though he knew the truth. For a moment there was silence as the walked together, though he felt like he needed to say something. You know, perhaps if you found a different method of dress, you'd have a better time as well. I have known others with marks like yours, and they all keep them hidden well. They have an easier time than you seem to be having. Soren could have gone further and told her what those markings were. Though he still felt like it was not his place to do that. Not until he knew she actually wanted to know the truth. She didn't seem to know the exactly why her marks were bad, so that probably meant she knew nothing of the laguz parent that was responsible for her birth. Once we get to civilization, I will let you borrow my cloak until we can get you your own. Or something else to cover your shoulders. Besides, soon it will be getting cold. I don't want to see you freeze. It was odd. Soren had never really thought about stuff like that. Maybe during his travels alone, he had missed companionship. At first it was refreshing to finally not be bothered by anyone. To read his books alone in the comfort of silence. Though soon after he found it quite...lacking. It annoyed him, though not to the point where he sought to rectify it.
