[Blade Master Model 42]

"Yeah. Yeah, I definitely agree with you there Fezz. I didn't really know much about him at the time..." Sheila sighed, pinching the bridge of her nose. "But now sometimes I think he might have been on the level with us. Ugh."

Sheila watched Miguel ride away. "Well, he seems ready for action."

[Swordstar]

Ciera tested the weight of her new weapon, noting it was significantly heavier than her old one, but still within reasonable fighting weight. Grinning at Grif, she gestured to the forest.

"Isn't this nice? It reminds me of the forest where I found Mazin. He'd been injured and I rescued him. We've been working together ever since. Though... I wonder what it will be like after we get to that tomb Fezz is so excited about. Apparently there's some sort of sword? Do you think one of us will be able to use it?"

[Sirus]

Grifen looked around at the woods. The deep, dark woods. She shuddered.

: "Ehhh. Kinda prefer the plains. At least then ya got open sky above ya."

: "Anyway, I kinda expect it to be some old rusty thing, probably just made to look nice. Ain't a sword ya stab folks with, just a sign of how important y'are."

[Xanmyral]

"Let's just count our blessings that we don't have to work with Matilda. And hopefully never again. Buuuuuut I'm going to instead focus on where we're going. Ah, this is going to be great! I get to investigate the emperor, THE emperor's tomb! ...And the war will be resolved. Yeah." It didn't take a spy to know that Fezz hurriedly tacked on the last part.

[Swordstar]

"Hmm, I guess. The forest has always just been a nice place to go to think and relax for me."

[Blade Master Model 42]

"Assuming people actually listen to the laws and don't dispute the veracity of the sword, yeah. Hell, I doubt I'd buy it, personally. The distribution of swords is no basis for a system of government."

PAST

"Speaking of Leo, I wonder where he's gotten to right now..."

Leo had been, for lack of a better word, hiding from the group. He wanted to think, and he wanted to do it alone. Everyone was, luckily he supposed, preoccupied with the new girl, and so he sat alone on an old tree trunk, his elbows on his knees and his fingers steepled before his face. His thoughts were deep and of an unusually dark nature for him; similar to how he used to be before he had went to Ironmill to rein himself in. It seemed to him that with that first broken vow he had lost most of the self-possession he had been taught... and there didn't seem to be a way to get it back.

It may only be a matter of time. Fezz is my twin in more ways than he realizes... but unlike him, I never waited to be hurt before I lashed out until I was trained otherwise...

He folded his fingers together and rested his nose against the joined joints, the ends of his thumbs against his chin.

But although we are twins, we are also opposites. Finding love seems to be making him a better person. But me? It's just turning me back into who I used to be. Perhaps it's because now I have something worth fighting for that I want to fight again...

He shelved those thoughts. He had other things on his mind.

This 'emperor's sword'... Why should we hand it to Duke Sepin? Or Matilda? Perhaps we should consider keeping it for ourselves and putting one of our own on the throne. I trust all of them far more than I do any of our 'allies'.


PRESENT

Leo to 5,8. Give +8 STR to Ciera.

"A fair point."

That seemed like it was to be his only contribution to the conversation.

[Swordstar]

Waving to Leo, Ciera asked him,

"Leo, what are your thoughts on forests vs plains?"

[Sirus]

Grifen also waved to the saint.

: "I say plains, personally. Lots of wide-open space and less chance of gettin' ambushed."

[CrimsonEon]

Alec to 3,9. Watch Fezz's hype in action.
: "Hey, I'm excited too, you don't see me tripping over air."

[SeriousConcentrate]

"Neither. I'm a city person."

[Swordstar]

"Hmm, cities have too many people. It's more fun to climb trees and fly over forests. But maybe I just haven't been to the right cities. Why do you like them so much?"

[Sirus]

: "Eh, cities ain't so bad. Better'n forests anyway."

[SeriousConcentrate]

"I grew up in a large city. Additionally it seems like the majority of times we get attacked by bandits or imperial soldiers, we're outside."

He decided to ignore Grifen's interjection, since it seemed intended to start trouble.

[Swordstar]

"Hmm, fair enough I suppose. I guess everyone is different. Though hopefully we'll avoid having to fight any of those Imperials here. Seen enough of them for, well, forever even if I know that's not gonna happen."
