In Defense of Honor. Anything from chapter 1 for commentary
So when they first get to the bar with the cool lights, Warriors is nervous about going in because he doesnāt know if there will be people who still resent him because of the war. He puts on a big show of being super outgoing and knowing everyone but in reality heās paranoid and sticks to his few familiar places in Castle Town. And, as we see later in the chapter, his anxiousness is justified. Sky touches on this a little bit when he first notices the people looking at Wars.
From the little Warriors has told Sky about his home era, it wasnāt friendly towards him. Warriors didnāt like talking about it. Sky also noticed, the few times Warriors did talk about it, a dark look fall over Timeās features. It was identical to the one he held when they discovered the assassins in Wildās era. Sky put the pieces together and came to the conclusion that many in Warriorsā era didnāt support him, and some went so far as to want him dead.
Thereās a subtle line about Groozelink in there hehe.
I imagine Sky being a very sensory-seeking person. He loves the sensations that come with flying and freefall, and above the cloud barrier the sun is ALWAYS bright. Woodcarving is a good way to always keep his hands and mind occupied. All that to say- blorbo would love the lights and loud music in a bar environment.
āØBlorbo is experiencing PTSDāØ
āWe were just leaving,ā Warriors said. There was something off about his voice that had Sky blinking in confusion. He couldnāt place what it was, but it wasnāt a tone Warriors had ever used around him before.
The tone is strange to Sky because itās a mixture of Warsā captain voice and his voice betraying that heās barely keeping it together. He used that voice a lot in the war. Mask would be familiar with it
When the bad guys try to start a fight with Sky, he doesnāt retaliate until someone hit Warriors. Sky knows his own strength and heās not going to hurt someone in the name of protecting himself, but once he sees Warriors hurt that hero mode goes right out the window and heās fucking pissed.
Out of the corner of his eye, Sky saw the first man raise his fist towards Warriors. Warriors kept both his arms at his sides and did nothing more than turn his face to the side. With a sharp crack the manās fist collided with Warriorsā cheek.
Sky yelled and rushed towards him. He punched the man squarely in his face and he crumpled to the ground, unconscious. Warriors grabbed Skyās upper arm in a tight grip and yanked him towards the door.
Unfortunately for Warriors, that does not help his image lol
Sky doesnāt realize it, but heās being EXTREMELY hypocritical here š
Sky took a grounding breath and stepped closer. āWhy didnāt you defend yourself?ā
Warriors hesitated before answering. āIām stronger than them. If I fight back, Iāll win.ā
āSo itās better to not even try?ā Sky asked. Warriors didnāt respond.
