let’s talk about how ike watched the strongest warrior he knew, his father, get cut down in front of him as if he were nothing. let’s talk about how he literally carried his dying father, begging him to stay alive, as he felt his clothes pooling with blood that didn’t belong to him. let’s talk about how not even a day had passed in mourning when the fighting continued, meaning that he had no time to mourn nor grieve. let’s talk about how he didn’t cry, he couldn’t cry, and had to remain invincible and infallible as the new leader of the greil mercenaries.

“apply pressure to the wound, don’t let go.”
MEME | ACCEPTING↳ hurt meme.
The end of an era, the slashed conclusion of numerous lives signified by the clank of bloodied, stained armor set onto the rack for the rest of the lengthy midnight hours. For the gracious whom were blessed enough to survive the encounter with their limbs intact, without the pain too vicious as to blind their senses, they remained the last to hark upon the silence of the encampment post the massacre of their forces. Even with the reaper at their doorstep and a foe by their nearby side, not a moment could be spared in mourning nor healing. As per code, with watch required to keep the camp safe and their numbers dwindling, the commander himself would take this duty for the evening.
Naught one whom had ever grown comfortable with war, with the wiping of so much life off the plane of existence, moments in solitude were to be where he would pass the prolonged night of watch. Be it bleeding, as was his case, but his stubbornness and self-sacrificing nature took precedence. Instead of wasting a charge of a stave on himself, it could be handled just as that, by himself. None were responsible for his injury save his own folly, so perhaps this could serve as punishment, a learning experience to by remembered.
At least, those were the morbid thoughts which wracked his brain until the sound of another’s arrival drew his cautious gaze. Widening cerulean eyes instantly calm the moment the stranger is recognized, the laguz being one whom he could definitely identify as friend. Her touch is uncalled for, but not unappreciated. He remains still as she works, shifting his attention from his post, the floor, and her deft hands. Before long, she has completed, now offering orders of her own.
❛ You didn’t have to. But still, thank you, Lethe. ❜

The resonating melody of another perks his ears, halting his midnight patrol through this encampment for which he still finds difficulty in navigating. Memories flow back at the last occurrence in which a song felt so heavy, thickening the air to where walking through felt as if traversing through fresh molasses. Pristine feathers, a beauty known by few and remembered by fewer, vanguard drawn to the noise as a moth to flame, if only to catch a sliver of home.
Yet, all he seemed to accomplish was disrupt upon the songstress princess, whose blood lacked the magical and bestial qualities which he sought for. Crestfallen, but nonetheless curious, he makes her aware of his presence with a knock.
❛ Sorry to intrude, Princess. I heard your song and it reminded me of a question I wanted to ask of you, if you have the time. ❜

Down shall the blessed blade strike, smiting the last of the damnable creatures whom earned his ire. Despite his own ignorance as towards what land he found himself in, and the foes to be fought in this foreign place, the basics of life and survival never changed. Surrounded by the corpses of demons, he had one other to thank, the woman of white hair whose form was akin to beings merely depicted in art, in nightmares. Together, they strove towards this common goal of rescuing the villagers, even if they did not know the name of the other.
❛ Thanks for the save back there. I’ve never seen monsters like those, although I happen to know a thing or two about saving towns. You a type of laguz or something? ❜

Perhaps his own virulent heroism was to blame, but on the same note, it would also be the fault of the banditry. For their unabashed assaults on others, be it laguz or beorc, caring not for social class nor character, it painted a terribly shameful portrait of Crimea. His actions, as headstrong, reckless as his fellow mercenaries would have called it, were merely required at this moment. To save this young woman, whose mere presence seemed to elicit conflict, was his next journey into harm’s path. The cost of his interference would be a cut to his face, an aimed dagger strike just narrowly missing his eye.
❛ It’s just a scratch. Nothing to worry about. You all right? ❜

Poised with the allure of a rose’s scent and roar of the crowd, ever so pleased with their entertainment for the night, never had the theater drawn his fascination. Neither the appeals from their resident royal nor his beloved sister could pull him towards such indulgence. Rather than neutrality for the art, despite his ignorance, there laid a disdain for the “fine arts” as the nobility called it, deemed a mere waste of time.
Still, he could not deny this performer the grace that her movements cradled, having entranced him without meaning.

Blade encompassed by legends grasped between calloused fingers, the weighted weapon bares its teeth towards the neck of the enemy commander. Travel through the Outrealm gates spoke true to warnings of it, disorientating to say the least. His skull throbbing of regret towards this ill decision, the smoky, blood-scented battlefield belonging to a land which he has never seen before. The garb of the soldiers foreign, their battle styles reminiscent of the past but all too different.
While ignorant to the landscape and its people, morals found themselves ever so heightened, neither time nor distance quelling his sharpened sense of dignity. To see the suffering of an enemy, even if struck down upon battle, was nary a sight which could glimpse passed his fatigued gaze. Power never changed, no matter where he traveled, and the enemy commander was right in his view.
❛ Call off your attack on these people. There isn’t any reason for your army to be acting so maliciously. You’ve won ─ that’s it. ❜
