Morning, Twi!

Fire Emblem: Toil of Transgression

First post of page two. B) My secret plan worked

Fire Emblem: Toil of Transgression

Jade Kattiya

Jade was perfectly content to lean against the horse for hours, but that was when some soldier stumbled in and started asking what was going on. Jade rolled her eyes and hoped one or the other would address the man, but when they did not she piped up in her usual sarcastic tone.

“Nothing much, just trying to keep this civilian from wandering into open conflict,” she said, moment before the horse moved away and caused her to land on her rear. It was embarrassing but at least she had someone else who agreed with her that the merchant needed to be pulled aside for a bit so that they could at least check for spying. “Also, it’s because she’s been very rude and considered drawing her weapon on me. We’ve tried using logic and sense but she won’t see it.” Jade got up and leaned over to Pogs, whispering, “also because she’s been so stubborn I think she’s a spy.”

Jade straightened up, dusting herself off and putting away her flask. Secretly, Jade was a big girl and could take a few insults but the ‘this woman’ comment cut her deep. Deeper than she liked. It was a shame really, and now the merchant was just being plain rude to Jade by insulting her like this. Jade was a woman of refined tastes and ideals. Not that refined but refined enough to know when to give others a nice sucker punch. Jade wondered where she should stand so that the merchant couldn’t get away. Maybe near the horse again, to deliver a blow to the horse’s side?

Kuro Talo

Kuro was taken aback by the one volunteer’s sudden outcry to hunt for themselves instead of offer food to them. He wasn’t altogether sure that the statement made sense, as the soldiers probably didn’t want volunteers to wander too far out onto the plains and lose them. However, Kuro could only open his mouth before the rude man went off into... Kuro didn’t really see where the man went but it was probably out into the plains.

The large, Laguz man made Kuro’s point before Kuro himself could make it. “I’ve been flying this whole time, so I would have seen something to eat if there was anything,” Kuro added.

Before he knew it the campfire group had dispersed and Kuro was alone. He thought about going back to Selene so he could eat alone, but he thought that he should offer food to more people before retiring for the night. So he roamed around the camp some more, politely offering bread and water to anyone he met. Most were soldiers, who laughed at him and refused the food.

Jade Kattiya

"You know," Jade said, "It's my favorite thing when totally armed strangers ignore the fact that I just said that we're not that far from the front line. Like, as in where the fighting is gonna be tomorrow? Where the enemy is? You can't possibly be that dumb to think you can waltz right across without either side thinking you're a spy." Jade ranted and streched, as if she had nothing better to do. She had noticed the other woman going for her weapon.

"As for the enemy thing can you blame me? I get all the propaganda back home saying that we're going for honor and country and what have I gotten so far? A wagon ride, a grumpy merchant, and queen of the muck. Seriously though," Jade leaned against the merchant's horse, not because it was the smart thing to do, but because she wanted to. "You should look into getting that removed, it must be painful to have a stick shoved so far up your butt."

Jade couldn't care less if these two hated her for her big mouth. All she wanted to do was go fight the enemy, win, and then go back to the sea. She missed it, the sea, and she'd prefer to go back and watch people get seasick and know what she had to do and maybe tilt back some rum when she wanted to. The thought caused her to go to her flask, taking a long draw from it. When she finished, she stared at the other two, completely relaxed despite the fact that she might have to deal with an angry merchant and... whatever kind of soldier The Queen there was.

Haha, Kuro is just gonna be so sad from those comments.
"I just wanted to help..."

Jade Kattiya

Jade hated wagons. They were bumpy, noisy, and honestly she was tired of sitting on the bench. It was one of those rare moments that Jade wished she had a horse. Granted, she and horses had an understanding that they didn't get along on the best of days, but she'd rather be riding a horse than sitting in a tiny wagon, with a bunch of other people who hadn't bathed in a while. She didn't smell like a rose either, but at least she admitted to it. She wondered if she should take a bath now or hold off on it until a better opportunity showed itself. As she got off the wagon, she decided to hold off on it. There didn't seem to be any rivers that she could see nearby. Then again all she could see were tents and soldiers. A combination that she'd in the past avoided, but now she found herself settled comfortably into the image.

At the very least she wasn't eager to get her axe back in short order. They'd taken it for sharpening or some excuse, but Jade didn't buy it. She walked around camp, and after more time than she'd like passed she managed to locate her axe. She knew it was hers by the handle, the old leather weaving and red paint on the side that had been achieved shortly after she'd gotten the axe. She'd knocked over some paint cans by misjudging the sheer breadth of the weapon. It wasn't a mistake she'd made twice. As she left, she snagged some of the food the soldiers were offering and found a nice place outside of camp to lurk until it was time for her to find a place to sleep.

Jade sat there for a while, stretching out and moving around to loosen up some of the muscles that had tightened up during the journey when she noticed a horse walking around the edge of camp. None of the soldiers had bothered to notice it, so Jade rolled her eyes and moved to intercept the horse's path around the camp. Jade had to suppress the urge to rob the peasant blind, because that was easy and she was doing the army thing for justice or whatever.

"So, are you stupid or do you know that you're going to be walking right into the front line of the rebellion? Because just looking at you, you don't exactly look like someone who is just wandering by for fun," Jade said. "Because I'm here with the army I might have to kill you. People who have to fight with them are good at that. So anyways, what are you doing out here and if there is awful evil things to do such as striking the enemy camp, can I come with?"

Kuro Talo

Kuro loved feeling the wind in his hair and the rough scales of Selene on his hands. Up here he was free and there were few others that could claim the same, most of which would be the few others that were currently riding pegasi to help perform recon for enemy camps and such. As he tried to keep his eyes on the ground, Selene made her 'I'm tired' noise that signalled that it was time to stop and rest. Kuro stroked her neck and said, "I know, but when the caravan stops I'll sneak you some extra rations."

Selene snorted and seemed to accept the bribe. Kuro watched as the caravan stopped and people started to get out, and Selene went into a dive on her own, eager to rest from the long day of flying that they'd just had. Kuro just moved closer into the dive, following Selene's movements and letting her land where she wanted. She landed amongst the horses, so she startled them and the stablemaster. Kuro hopped off and waved to the man in charge of the animals. He stayed only to take off Selene's saddle and put it away.

The man in charge told Kuro to start giving out food to the volunteers, and he complied, first going to the campfire where it seemed a few of them had settled in at. He hummed as he walked, eager to help people and give them what they need. He came up on the group and said, "does anyone need any food? I was told to start giving food to the volunteers." He held up his bread and water, showing what he had. "If you need anything else you can tell me, I'd love to get it for you."
