Defenseless Staffbot x Ojou-sama C

[7:38 PM] Flamy: OKAY so
[7:38 PM] Flamy: there are two points you can choose to go after rina
[7:38 PM] Flamy: while she's off to go drop elle off
[7:38 PM] Flamy: or after that
[7:38 PM] Flamy: > Vote now on your phones!
[7:44 PM] Lilac: Onin War
[7:48 PM] Flamy: What's that? You want to watch Gekiganger 3?
[7:48 PM] Flamy: I do too, to be completely honest.
[7:48 PM] Lilac: Nah, I don't even know what that is!
[7:49 PM] Lilac: Let's do it while she's dropping elle off
[7:52 PM] Flamy: Sure, it's been a long day of attempting to run from armor knights, soldiers, archers, and also wyvern riders, but losing Elle and Flauros? Pretty terrible. Even worse is when everyone else decides that Elle's better off retired from fighting against Kaen bandits. Who doesn't want to risk their lives, fighting bandits? I don't, you don't, and Elle, for sure, don't.
[7:52 PM] Flamy: So here you are, riding after Rina's wyvern, who is flying at a fairly slow pace, because it would sure suck if Elle got dropped, or worse, was disturbed, and had to be explained to.
[8:02 PM] Lilac: Elaine continues to ride along side Rina, watching intently to make sure they make it back safely and not wanting to disturb Elle up there.
[8:06 PM] Flamy: Looking behind her, she shakes her head upon confirming that it is, indeed, you, and has her wyvern stop. The two of you aren't too far from the village. "I suppose you wish to give her one last goodbye, or somesuch?" She speaks softly, so as to not wake up Elle, though admittedly, she is a hard sleeper, as the expedition to the "fortress" proved.
[8:08 PM] Lilac: Elaine has her own horse stop. "...Well, I guess so... Honestly, I don't want to see her go." she whispers back, sighing. "I feel she's actually a good fighter, it's just that she's way too rash and...I can't get too close to help as much as I love to."
[8:14 PM] Flamy: Rina sighs, looking back to the fast-asleep farmgirl. "As much as I can admire her courage and willingness to fight, her desire to play the hero will get her killed, against professionals. With Flauros gone, who knows if we can stand against those Kaens? For now, I think letting her stay away from the frontlines is for the best. I can't allow someone like her to just throw herself into the battlefield." She looks to the village, then to you. "... you know more about how the village is than I do. Might I trouble you to, well, take her back home?"
[8:20 PM] Lilac: "I can do that, yes. I'll also break the news to her grandfather as well." Elaine nods as she carries Elle to her horse. "Hopefully with enough training later on that she might be able to fight better later on... Feel free to follow or wait for me if you want to go back to the group together unless you have somewhere to be."
[8:29 PM] Flamy: Nodding, she would place her hands back on her wyvern's reins. "I'll wait for you. A girl like you shouldn't be out alone and defenseless."
[8:29 PM] Flamy: As you ride with Elle, once you get to her house, she mutters something. "... Flauros... 'll be back."
[8:30 PM] Flamy: In other news, her grandfather's glad to know she's safe and all, but is also concerned that she's been concentrating so much on fighting, that she won't be able to find someone to be with.
[8:36 PM] Lilac: "Try to find her a sparring partner if she's still eager to fight. It would be wise to train her up well in actual combat and she'll be able to find someone no problem." she responds back, reassuring her grandfather. "...Please take good care of her until then and we'd be happy to have her back."
[8:39 PM] Flamy: The concern you have for his granddaughter does seem to definitively reassure him, and the two of you part on a good note.
[8:56 PM] Lilac: Elaine heads back to Rina after saying her goodbyes to the both of them. "Hey, sorry about that, Rina. Want to talk on our way back?"
[9:02 PM] Flamy: It's around this time that the sun's setting. Rina waves to you. "It's no problem. Better you breaking the news than I." Her wyvern... opts to take the real low-altitude option of literally walking. It looks about as strange as you think, at first. "I'm not against talking. Anything in particular you needed to talk to me about, or just simple girl talk?"
[9:06 PM] Lilac: "Your wyvern is so cool! How did you become the Captain of the Fourth Wing?" she follows her as she beams.
[9:17 PM] Flamy: She chuckles. "Already at the hard questions? I'll admit, my father pulled strings to get me into the Fourth Wing. Really, almost everyone up there is nobility of some sort. Aristocracy does that to a system. They say I got in for my leadership and riding skills, but to be completely honest..." Rina goes full smug. "I'm pretty sure it was because they were into me."
[9:28 PM] Lilac: "Huh, I see..." she ponders at that. "...So... Umm, no offense but are you really proficient in combat? I'm just curious is all, I don't mind either way or if you don't want to answer. I'm okay with that too."
[9:34 PM] Flamy: "Combat? I've seen my fair share of it. Of course, I can tell you right now that I've had to ditch some of the things I've been taught. Axes? Can't block against those, most of those damn brigands stain theirs with toxins. Bows? If you're smart, you can take one hit, and smash whoever tried to do that," She would take this time to let out an ojou laugh. Yes, you know that one. "That was satisfying... the archer assault, not the laugh."
[9:40 PM] Lilac: "I see, fair enough." she responds. "...Anything you want to ask me about?" she says, eagerly wanting Rina to ask her stuff.
[9:43 PM] Flamy: "... if I may, why did you take up healing? A need to simply tend to the wounds of others, or...?" Definitely getting close to where it seems the others have settled, which... happens to be in the village remains. In their defense, it provides pretty good cover. If it could hide one person, who's to say it can't hide eight? "Ah, I realize this may be sensitive. You need not answer."
[9:46 PM] Lilac: "It's fine. Honestly, it was the only talent that I was gifted with at my time on the farm by sheer luck. I just so happen to be able to heal wounds and wasn't really good at much else combat wise so..." Elaine looks towards to the group. "...Yeah, I just enjoy helping people and this is another way to do it, I guess."
[9:53 PM] Flamy: Rina nods. "Any help is good, whether it be morale, direct combat, or support, and it's definitely not getting any easier, now that we're getting closer to Kae. Stay sharp, Elaine. I've not a good feeling about the future." She dismounts, pointing at the nearby mountain to her wyvern- Palla? Anyway, the wyvern flies there. Must be some sort of roost or concealment.
[10:16 PM] Lilac: Elaine nods back. "Understood. Keep safe yourself too, Rina. Regardless if it'll be difficult, I'll be with you when you need it."
[10:19 PM] Flamy: > Elaine and Rina have attained a Support Rank of C!
