#rigelarcher

the weather seemed awfully appropriate for her current mood. she truly tried not let the concern get to her, but she cannot help but feel a little down. she sits by a table at an inn together with one of the maids from her house and a guard that was to accompany them. she truly did stick out from the rest of the crowd that filled the inn and that wasn’t only because of her clothing, but mood as well.

“M-Mister Leon? Do you, um... Do you have a moment?”

   Genny doesn’t want to be a bother, especially not right after setting up camp for the evening, but only Leon could assist her with her problem-- She’s clutching a sheaf of papers in her hands, staring down at them as though she’s afraid of meeting the archer’s eyes (in truth, she is, lest she find disgust when she looks up into them).

   Accuracy in her stories is important to the little cleric, and as nervous as Valbar’s company still makes her, she owes it to her beloved characters to try talking to the one of them who could give her proper aid.

        “ budge over, you’re taking up all the space beside the fire. ”

     kamui raised his foot to nudge the archer in the side, hands occupied by the food he’d dragged out of their stores. it wasn’t anything fancy -- some jerky and bread and cheese -- but kamui knew better than to complain about food on the road.

   The praise causes a faint pink to dust across the cleric’s cheeks, and she grips her staff just a touch more tightly. While she appreciates the kind words from the mercenary, his response wasn’t quite accurate. Fighting scares her, yes, but she had reconciled the fact that participating in battle would be a necessary risk in accompanying Celica, Boey, and Mae on their quest to Mila’s temple. 

“T-thank you... You’re very kind to say so, Mister Leon,” She all but whispers, free hand tangling itself in cotton candy hair, “But... I-I just... I wish I could be more helpful out there. I can’t fight, and I’m not very good at healing... Sometimes I worry I won’t be able to keep any of you safe out there, you know...? My friends are so important to me, a-and you and your group have been very kind in helping us get to Mila’s Temple... I-If something were to happen to you and I couldn’t help, I... I don’t know what I’d do...” 

      ❝ Oh good, someone’s finally here...            Have you seen Alm anywhere...? ❞

▶ Kʟɪꜰꜰ ʜᴀs ᴄᴏɴsɪᴅᴇʀᴇᴅ ᴛʜᴇ ᴘᴏssɪʙɪʟɪᴛʏ that maybe there’s a reason Alm left him behind, but he’s too preoccupied with his loneliness to possibly imagine why.

      ❝ He kind of... forgot about me here. I’m            supposed to meet up with him... ❞
