#subakalicious

The dark mage found himself in a strange land. It wasn’t totally unfamiliar, he could recognize much of the animals and some of the plant life, but he could tell this wasn’t the realm he was used to. This became even more clear when he witnessed something he never thought he’d see; a man riding a pegasus! A few pegasi flew overhead, it their riders looked to be men. Henry felt excited, maybe he could ride one! Well, ride one without having to swap bodies with a female friend. He started to make his way toward where the pegasi were coming from, soon running into another man next to a pegasus.

Walking down the path, Caeldori uncharacteristically growled in frustration. Why must everyone insult her father?! It wasn’t pleasant for the two, especially for her. Her father would take all those insults hurled at him yet he wouldn’t make them stop. She knew it was painful for him too. And despite her perfectionist self, she couldn’t stop herself from slamming her foot against the ground, an imperfect action to do in public. She’d had enough of this foolishness!

Thinking back, many of those who insulted Subaki were Nohrians. Even Prince Leon himself had done so! His insults were barely even directed at her, mostly her father! Then there was the time where the red haired male nearly got backstabbed by Niles, not figuratively but literally. It angered her at how everyone treated him. And it was even worse with how her father wouldn’t even come up to her to talk about it! He kept all of his pain to himself, but she knew. The sky knight knew how much it pained the man of how he was treated.

A couple more steps and she saw long red hair come into view. It was her father. Her face lit up, seeing the man. But once walking a little closer, she noticed his expression. While nobody else had caught on, she did, of how he felt pained. Today was an especially terrible day for him. A frown showed on her features, displeased even more than before. She grit her teeth, infuriated with everyone else but pushed back the anger. There wasn’t any time for that. 

“Father...? Do you want to talk? You’ve been going through a lot... I’ve noticed.”

It upset her to bring up this conversation because she knew that he didn’t want to show his weaknesses in front of her, but she wanted to help him. In any way whatsoever. With a waver in her voice, she continued on. 

❝Opps, seems I didn't watch where I was aiming...❞ 

  Had someone told Marx that he would be fighting alongside a soldier of Hoshido a matter of months ago, he would have sworn they had gone mad. Yet there he was, not only fighting beside a Hoshidan soldier, but jumping in to save one. With his winged mount, Subaki was almost untouchable to those who were confined to the ground, but only almost. Had he been fighting alone, it probably wouldn’t have taken very long for him to be overcome regardless of how high he could go. Luckily for the sky knight, however, he wasn’t.
