セインガルドの薔薇

( continued from here! )

R-right!

[whoops! he was so surprised by leon's sudden appearance at his rescue that he didn't even thing to raise it sword.

but leon is leon, so as ever? his yelling gets stahn motivated and focused, properly drawing dymlos so that he send a victory light spear into the nearest bot, effectively disabling it with one powerful attack.]

[discard]

[It's good enough.

With Stahn focused, and between the two of them, they're able to dispatch the robots without further difficulty...at which point Leon huffs out a short breath, flicking his hair from his face.]

Honestly, were you daydreaming? Now is not the time to be staring into space.

[majinken]

[it's pretty easy to take everything else when they're focused and working together. so once the robots are done, stahn drops the stance, sighing a bit.

(especially since leon is already scolding him.)]

—You surprised me, that's all! I didn't think you'd come to help...

[and maybe ever optimistic, he was hoping he wouldn't have to actually fight the bots off.]

[discard]

[He snorts at that, softly. Stahn didn't think he'd come to help..?]

What do you even think of me?

[Rude???? It's not like he was going to leave Stahn hanging on his own.]

[majinken]

Eh? That's not what I meant! I just... didn't realize you were nearby!

[that's all. he knows that leon would never leave him to be hurt or in danger if he could help it. but all the same.. he's still surprised, because he didn't realize leon was even that close to be able to help him at all.]

[discard]

...Regardless.

[He won't deny Stahn has a fair point there, but he's not going to admit it out loud, either.]

You need to pay more attention. Come on. We have no reason to linger here, either.

[majinken]

I was paying attention just fine!

[stahn will absolutely protest that part, because there's just a lot going on right now!

(though he doesn't hesitate to go along with moving away from where they stand.)]

[discard]

[........ hmph.]

Then you were trying to find a peaceable solution when the enemy is a lifeless robot. I am not certain which would be the stupider decision.

[majinken]

Usually they're not so bad... I didn't think they'd start to try to arrest me for no reason...!

[not that he's fond of robots at all either, but hasn't he done enough robot destruction in recent months as it is?]

[discard]

That is your problem. You very rarely assume that anything is capable of being rotten, despite evidence to the contrary.

[Where's your self-preservation...]

[majinken]

Well... everything was fine before that!

[even though leon is right, but...]

I didn't want to have to destroy them, though. [he felt bad, and destroying robots just. brings back some sour memories now.]

[discard]

... Hmph. That is something you had best get over quickly. We will not have time to dally and hesitate when this place finally decides we are no longer of any worth to them.

[Leon should know.

Really well.]

[majinken]

[well, that definitely strikes some kind of chord with stahn—if only because coming from leon, he understands the implications behind that kind of statement.

sometimes it's easy to forget that ceres and oberon are very similar in the worst of ways.]

...You're right. [there's still a bit of defeat in his tone though, because even if leon is right, he still doesn't like the idea of things being so... dark.]

[discard]

[Sorry, Stahn. Such is the way of jamjar rp.]

... For now, though, we must handle the threat before us.

[So that will have to be enough. And maybe that's Leon letting Stahn off the hook a little from thinking too deeply about how bad CERES can be.]

[majinken]

[he's not suited for this jamjar life.]

...I know. I know, you're right. There's... still a lot we have to take care of here.

[discard]

In that case... is there anyone you need to check up on?

[He wouldn't usually care, but...they really don't have any particular direction to go off of here, so...]

[majinken]

I don't think so. I've seen a few people already today... but a lot of people are gone now, too.

[which has also been hard to miss. more and more friends of his have disappeared completely, giving him less to check up on (but plenty to worry about, even still.)]

[discard]

Very well then.

[In that case... Leon will just set off on a random direction.

He doesn't really want to think about people just randomly disappearing at the moment.]

[majinken]

...Is there anyone you were going to check in on?

[since leon started on a direction anyway. stahn is ready to follow, of course, but he has no idea where they're actually going.]

[discard]

No. Don't be ridiculous.

[Maybe.

He's not sure.]

[majinken]

I don't think there's anything ridiculous about that...

[why is leon always like this.]

[discard]

It is not as though I am particularly attached to any of the people here. Assuming I would be is what's ridiculous.

[So there!!!]

[majinken]

Leon...

[that's bullshit, and he knows it.]

Maybe I should tell Otome you said that. [yeah, he's calling it out, because stahn isn't going to let leon say that. for anyone else in cerealia? maybe he could let it slide.

but not her.]

[discard]

Hmph. I had assumed you had already checked on her.

[Otome is, as ever, the exception.]

[majinken]

I did, but that's not the point!

[he still said it.]
