[GiglameshDespair]

: Ugh... I'm not dead. But this has gone on for long enough!

The ranger tries to take advantage of Ketsuki's paralysis, but the general stops him. When he turns around, he ends up facing the remaining commander.

The staff users decide to not anger the general more and put away their staves. But on the north side...
: I counted five bolts, asshole.

Harold points directly at the mage over the cliff, who discards the used book and pull out another one.

I counted two tomes, asshole.

: If you think you're hot shit, come here and prove it.

The two start walking towards the side of the cliff to face each other. After a brief exchange of looks, both are ready for a showdown...

XP: 16/100

Jacob slowly paces back towards the group.

: The few remaining soldiers of Ixion have decided to surrender... Do you have a commander I can speak with? But before- Jacob dismounts, walks towards the raging Laura and smacks the berserk out of her. I'm going to need an explanation, young lady.

Harold also walks back, towards Senija.

: That should be it. How are you feeling?

[kj1225]

"You're going to want to talk to the wyvern rider in a helmet."
Kyle says from the sidelines.

[GiglameshDespair]

Ketsuki hissed as she became able to move again. She regarded the ranger who had been about to attack coldly.
"A wise choice, ranger. Even should I be wounded, you would not have escaped your fate."

She sheathed Galeforce and turned back to her companions.

"That staff of yours is certainly powerful, Albert."

[Solymr]

"And let me say, your fate would have been *mmpphh*" Unfortunately the sheath muffles the sword's words.

[Powder Miner]

Senija turned to Harold, smirking.
:"Nice shot, Harold. And, well, I'm a little bit messed up but that's pretty much business as usual for me, hehe. Nothing worrying!"

[Swordstar]

Pulling off his helm, Tomik looked at Lilly for a few seconds before blushing and mumbling,

"Just... wait here. I'll be back soon."

Making a beeline for his sister, he grabbed her arm and started to gently pull her away from Harold.

"Sorry. I need to steal her. I'll give her back to you soon."

Pulling his sister a safe distance away from everyone, he opened his mouth and then shut it again, not having any better idea how to start this conversation than the one he was trying to ask for help with.

[Solymr]

: Heh, thanks. Alright then, so- *Tomik interrupt* ... Dammit.

Harold started to wander slowly and aimlessly towards Harlan's general direction, looking at the sky.

[SeriousConcentrate]

Lilly raised an eyebrow in confusion.

I thought he wanted to talk?

She shrugged to herself and found a comfortable rock to sit on, and only then noticed that at some point someone had stuck a halberd on her back by poking it through her guitar strap.

...When did THAT happen?

Concerned, Lilly removed it and set it across her lap to examine while she waited.

[Powder Miner]

Twins or no, Senija wasn't any sort of mind reader, and after Tomik dragged her away and then didn't talk she tilted her head and gave Tomik a confused, slightly bloody expression.
:"Hmm...? What is it, Tomik?"

[Swordstar]

"Look, I... After everything that happened, with me getting warped away and not knowing if I would see everyone... I want to propose to Lilly but I don't know what to say or what to do. I don't even have a ring and she's going to be disappointed because it's not perfect and I need... I need help."

[Powder Miner]

Senija clapped her hands together and let out a little "eeeeeee" at the news, suddenly very excited.
:"Aaaaaa, no way! That's amazing! That's really really cool! That's awesome! Alright alright, okay, so, I can't give, like... girl tips? I'm, uh, not your average girl hehehe. But, uh, look, I guess... well, you know, I'm not exactly as close as you are to Lilly, obviously, but we're still friends and all, and I've kinda seen your relationship from both sides, right? (Aaaa, you're gonna propoooose!) So I can kinda say something I think might apply to how Lilly's gonna react?
 
So, you don't have a ring, so what? I mean, we're kinda AT WAR here, so that's kinda understandable, hehehe. But the two of you... you made it past the stage where you need to worry about anything being perfect, or the kind of issues you used to have, right? I mean, hate to be a bummer, but I did watch you guys go through that, but also work through that, you know? So, like... you love each other and all, to the point where being perfect or jewelry don't matter so much as the fact that you really love her.

Like... I can't tell you what to say, or anything. Hehe... you and I both know I have the romantic wisdom of a brick. An... angry brick. But, like... just go in there and show her you love her when you propose to her, and I'm sure she'll love it!"

[Swordstar]

Tomik blinked, a little stunned at the flood of words that had just come out of his sister before chuckling slightly at the end of the of it all.

"Naw, come on, you gotta give yourself more credit. That's what I needed to hear, alright? And hey, one last request? I'm going to take her for a ride I think. Maybe set down on one of the mountains over there and propose there. A proper sort of wyvern rider proposal, you know? Just... If people start asking questions, don't let them know what's going on, alright? I just... In case she says no, you know?"

He reached out and pulled her into a tight hug.

"You're the best sister a guy could ask for, you know that? I love you a lot and am so glad I managed to get back to all of you."

[Powder Miner]

The tight hug was quickly reciprocated, and then Tomik's last couple of sentences cause her to tighten the hug to a serious ribcracker... well, a figurative one, considering Senija was probably capable of a literal one.
:"Yeah. I love you too bro. I-I missed you a lot. I'm really really glad you're back."
After a few more seconds of her rather strong hug, she finally eased off of her poor brother.
:"I'll stay quiet, hehe. Now, go get her Tomik! I believe in you!"

[Swordstar]

Reaching out, Tomik tweaked her nose real quick and winked.

"Alright, that's enough of the touchy feel-y stuff between us for now. I've gotta save some of that for Lilly after all. You go back to Harold, alright? I think he had something to ask you from the sounds of it."

Gently shoving his sister off in that direction, he started to make his way over to Lilly, a smile on his face and a tight ball of worry stuck in his chest.
