dev 4 - confrontation of teraphim

It's rather quaint to him to be meeting her here and now.. if anything, he imagines that after Weiss dying, she would be simply holed up somewhere and never really leave her place. But..

Clearly, that's not the case.

"Ain't you Weiss' partner?"

"Cause I'm pretty sure you were."
(Basil)

Ekheim choices to be silent. Not his converation.
(Ekheim Theseus)

She would sigh rolling her eyes before she would shake her head briefly at the man before her,

"Correction...Was Kind of glad he is dead after all he has done." she simply said acting as if she really didn't care. probably because it has been two years since his death.
(Faelyn Inavyre)

It might be him being petty, but he didn't forget. The things that were said back then, in Osrona.. but back in the city, they were supposed to be dealing with Osronan laws and they could not really do much about it. If anything..

"Ya know.."

"Things ain't been right ever since all that talk that happened in Osrona.. and I feel it ain't right that you're feeling like this about Weiss dying." After all.. did he not oppose Asta?

And didn't Asta declare war on Ilburg?

There's a step closer towards her. Whatever it could mean, but the Rhoynur's golden eyes stare into her.

"There's no Weiss to shield ya now."

"How come you're glad that he's gone, hm..?"
(Basil)

She would raise a eyebrow for a moment...How out of the loop was this guy?. Thinking to herself for a moment she would place her hands on her hips, and taking a deep breath she would speak.

her tone rather monotone for tonight. "Probably because he had attacked people ilburg citizens literally fifteen minutes after I told Penelope we were a neutral people, And then later that day attacked asta Weiss was a crazy genocidal maniac blood thirsty for war." She said staring at the boy for a moment,

Besides she had no idea who this man really was nor has she had ever seen him so she thought, So she really didn't know what answer he was looking for considering it was pretty well known that Faelyn was against the actions of her fellow teraphim Weiss.
(Faelyn Inavyre)

"Yet you chose to follow."

"You were there by his side when we approached him - and you defended his honor, even if ya claim how terrible he is now." If anything, it felt like she was retracting her previous statements.. ones that clearly showed the fondness in Weiss, even if for a while. But still..

His gaze carefully scrutinizes her, almost finding it rather quaint how she would be speaking in such manner.

"But I have a question for ya."

"Do you support Asta?"

There was no further elaboration. All that was said was this, and whatever it could mean, whatever his question could imply.. it's all too different.

All she could do is guess.
(Basil)

She would scratch the back of her head for a moment only time she actually stood up for Weiss is when all teraphim got called for cheating in the arena.... But surely basil wasn't referring to that was he?. Because Faelyn thought she was just defending teraphim in general during that exchange,

But alas She would shrug and ignoring the rather odd accusation of her defending Weiss she would just look at ekhiem and closing her eyes she lets out a groan,

should she just beat the kid up?. Probably not it would cause more problems later so instead she would just motion him to come closer towards her, Least give him a bit of piece of mind for the moment incase anyone else was listening into the conversation.
(Faelyn Inavyre)

His gaze narrows.

It is rather clear that he was not satisfied with such gestures being given unto him.. and if anything, he could only perceive it as something which would only further stall his time- however, in the ever-changing landscape of Esshar, any information is valuable.

"--I asked ye a question."

"Answer it."

Yet still, he approaches closer.. and perhaps, with the slightest tint of rosegold surrounding his frame; a sign of a promising spark that could blossom into something greater, but..

For now, it seems to be restrained.
(Basil)

Faelyn Inavyre whispers: I will be trying to prevent the war without bloodshed should i fail i do not support asta's actions.

Basil whispers: ..? How come?

Faelyn Inavyre whispers: I beleive she has the intention to take ilburg for the sake of bloodshed rather then actually beleive there are occultists there.

Faelyn Inavyre whispers: I can not condone these actions as a follower of aschea.

For a moment, it seems that Basil simply takes in such information, but.. of all things, it doesn't seem like he actually believes it that much. After all, the moment that she stated that she disliked Weiss being there, even though he opposed Asta to an extent..

It already threw him off.

"Tell me one reason."

"Just one reason why I should believe ya."

"Because Teraphim have been nothing but conniving fucks."

And it seems that he's gotten fed up by it; although, as much as Rhoynish are expected to be met with a certain standard.. it is almost like he applies the same to Teraphim.

One could even view it as presumptuous, but.. does it change anything?
(Basil)

Rolling her eyes at the child she would look over at ekhiem for a brief moment wondering what she would do before she closes her eyes and she would cross her arms kind of getting a bit on the ticked off side but she would remain calm for the moment,

She would then lean in whispering into basils ear mainly because people kept walking up to the area it would seem that this was a rather very bad spot to talk of all times for someone to confront the teraphim.
(Faelyn Inavyre)

Faelyn Inavyre whispers: Go ask your elders kid i was already in the town today to discuss the current issues happening in myllenoris.

His elders..?

Quite frankly, he doesn't believe that, nor does he believe the fact that Faelyn could actually do much in the terms of preventing just about anything for Ilburg; after all, as far as he's concerned, she was likely sided with Asta after all.. or perhaps, she simply lacked the necessary influence, strength and will in order to assert herself in such manner.

"--For some reason, I just ain't believe ya."

"You were there to cling to Weiss the entire time, an' you were there to defend his honor, even though he had none." A pause. "You mention that you're doing all this peace-talking, yet I never heard of Teraphim arriving to Ilburg for that, ever."

"An' believe me, I stay up to date."

Even if it happened, it meant that it wasn't loud enough for him to hear. After all, Basil most certainly has enough connections within Ilburg to hear of that.. and had it been clear, then he would've heard of that.

But he did not.

"And quite frankly.."

"I ain't forget all the things that were said that day." If anything.. where one could assume that it is all 'under control', the brimming light of rosegold already surges, enough to be nigh blinding. Of all things..

He simply had no faith in her.
And he remembered what was done that day.

"Stars n' ancestors might forgive you."

"But I won't."

"Defend yourself."

There is a sudden lunge. One filled to the brim with cosmic light.. and the rosegold, explosive force. It would seem that Faelyn is given no choice..

For it seems like the Rhoynur has ran out of patience.
(Basil)

She would now snarl at the boy, This boy was really a idiot she would then Quickly move to the side gripping the childs arm she would push him back it seemed a fight would ensue and with that she would sigh.... So much for speaking the truth.

"You really are a fucking idiot you know that?. I did not cling to Weiss's side at fucking all and you really must live under a damn rock if your this clueless about the current events." She simply said then she would sigh upon hearing the words of ekheim She would....Take another step back merely seeking to compose herself.

"Look kid I told you what I have done if you don't believe me talk to basten or hiro or dronor or hmmmm what was that one guys name?. oh right LITTERALLY ANYONE THERE!" She screamed at the child there was no deceit behind her voice more just frustration for dealing with yet another male who resorted to violence without thinking.
(Faelyn Inavyre)

It's rough.

For when she seemingly tries to stop the Rhoynur from attacking her in such manner, it simply doesn't work.. and instead, it ends up an endeavour in which she's swiftly pushed back by the presence of cosmic and fiery magics alike, the rosegold tint in the air so ever permeating..

And blasting away at her.

But.. to say that it was easy? It was wrong; if it wasn't for the woman's toughness as a Teraphim, then it was for the fact that her strikes had indeed hurt him a lot- so much so that he was unable to keep her at bay at all times. Weaving and dodging around the area, he attempted to sway away from her blows, but..

Such a thing was not always possible.

Instead, where he ended up on the ground at some point.. he would only huff out, wiping away the blood gathering around the edges of his mouth as natural consequence of bruising- if only after rising up, there's a mutter.

"I ain't done yet.."

He can't lose here.. he's not going to let himself do that. Of all things, this would be the last thing that he could potentially want, or need.. and instead, the fiery flames were assaulting her once more, the stardust gathering around his frame to continuously shine upon her.

The rosegold was gathering once more.

In their following exchange, however, as much as he struggles to take the top, he manages to do so- with the constant fuelling of cosmic mana upon him, it was slowly becoming an endeavour in which he could make the difference.. one in which he could actually end up a winner.

And where she missteps at the end..
She's punished quick by searing light.

Directed straight at her core, and crushing the ribs underneath through the knockback; for all intents and purposes, she was blasted away, but.. when it's all said and done? He doesn't have strength to pursue her.

"--I ain't a fucking idiot."

"It's too late for your people to do whatever you intended to do. Far, far too late.."

The only response given, but.. Basil knows - at least, whatever he believed to know.

And already the Rhoynur intends to leave..
Perhaps she's injured him more than he expected.
(Basil)

So much for having stopped the small child from starting off a fight shame as well but alas she would have to fight and fight she did, From using the very fabric of the spirit realm to teleport behind him while her strikes seemed rougher then most probably due to the physically training that the teraphim had gone through.

While her fists were enhanced By the crystals of her mana surely to cause some welts latter for the brat but alas she would be knocked down by the overwhelming cosmic and the heat that seemed to radiate in the area making it hard for fae to really grasp the situation,

And before her she knows it she would be forced back into the woods behind her, Her ribs giving out a loud crack which would vibrate through the woodland forests.

She would grunt out slowly standing up she would chuckle nervously coughing out some blood probably a side effect from having her ribs broken,

"Yeah I expect a apology tomorrow morning kid. Talk to basten and ask if a white teraphim came over." she said turning around, While he didn't have the strength to follow her, Neither did she to continue the fight.
(Faelyn Inavyre)

"Apology.. tch.."

It wouldn't be something that she could expect.. quite on the contrary, Basil did not intend to apologize for what he's done, for he viewed it as something completely justified. Of all things, after all that she said, he wouldn't exactly forgive her.. and now, the Teraphim were more loathed than anything else.

Especially with what they happen to be.

But.. he was hurt by this too, even if less; for the time being, he grasps onto the minor wounds over his body, ones that either appeared as result of bruising, or even the crystals piercing him. Such a thing would require some rest out of him..

And he turns to steadily leave.
(Basil)
