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

Ike Selune Ike remained quiet as Katlynn explained herself, particularly why she was out here of all places. Her story made enough sense because if anyone had more than enough time to grab at least a map, they would have known what Ike was about to relay to her. A small smile crossed his face as he finally sheathed his blade away, realizing he had subconsciously still been holding onto it. Well .. you're in the very wrong direction, first off. We're near the uppermost part of Tellius. To be more precise, we're rather close to Crimea. He paused, trying to recall what exactly was even south. Usually, he would know these things off the top of his head. It appeared, however, this vacation had made him forget quite a bit which made him frown slightly. Ike was slightly taken aback to hear he was speaking to a princess of all people. The last royal person he'd conversed with had been Queen Elincia and that had been before the mess with the damn towers. Ah, what memories the thought gave him. Briefly moving them to the back of his mind once more, he stared at the same coins. In his head, he knew what he wanted to say. It feels wrong to accept those for such a simple task, Princess. But ... he had already probably come off as harsh if not worse to her. He definitely didn't wish to ruin his reputation, be it as a man in general or leader of the Greil mercenaries. After contemplating and looking at the bag, he finally offered Katlynn an affirmative nod. Very well. Sounds like a fair arrangement. Before we begin to try to head south, however ... are you hungry by chance? I literally just got back onto Tellius and remember my way around. I can get us into Crimea and see about finding a tavern in any of their cities. I know my way around well enough at any rate ... But he didn't want to admit that he had forgotten certain locations. That, if nothing else, could be fixed by purchasing a map. He used to have one but it had gotten lost during the vacation. Selune silently looked at Soren, almost trying to study if he even was being sincere with his words. Probably not though honestly, they were some of the more generous ones she'd heard in a long while. And if for no other reason than that, she would accept them. Her head politely bowed as she returned the gesture. Once he inquired about what she would do, however, her steps slowed. The realization of her not having an answer hit her hard, as if Soren had actually slapped her as opposed to asking a simple question. Her gaze lowered towards the ground as she tried to think. Still, nothing entered her head. Raven locks moved from side to side as her head did before she glanced up with an almost lost - defeated even - expression in her eyes. I ... have no idea. I don't really have anywhere to go anymore. I always seem to get chased out most of everywhere I try to go to even though I don't steal or anything ... To add insult to injury, she knew she had to try to seek sanctuary somewhere, lest she perish from malnutrition. Her teeth gripped her lower lip again as her hands wrapped around her stomach. Selune felt herself actually want to beg this mage to follow her even after they left the woods but.. no. Her pride kept her quiet. Even if it was the most logical thing to do, she just didn't have it in her to bring the subject up. Besides, hadn't he done enough by at least helping her avoid those soldiers? It was something Soren certainly didn't have to do .. and yet he had gone on and lied to them anyway. Even if she wasn't sounding like it then and there, Selune truly was grateful for that. Few other people she'd seen and known - or at least met - would have ever taken such a risk like that.
