‘ why does this concern me? ‘ hi astra! o/ — shadow & bone; accepting.
the other’s blunt words don’t give creed much pause, having been surrounded by the crownsguard of her own nation for most of her life & grown used to their straightforward nature; and she even prefers it on most days. but perhaps it’s the tone, or her eyes which makes the paladin stiffen. ❛ ah— my apologies. perchance i was a little too hasty in making assumptions, ❜ she explains a little awkwardly, gesturing to the sword & shield the other carries. ❛ i’ll just... go deal with the infestation myself then. ❜

let me assign you a love language. / a knife called grief.
you have left your house, you have left those people behind, but what are you going to do about the memories which have taken root in you? you can run but not without them. you want someone to sit with you on this cool marble floor while the sun burns everything. you want them to cut your rotten heart and theirs too. you want to sit with it in front of you, let them see you with all your flaws, which haven’t been your fault but you have been made to believe so, and you want them to love you anyways. because you know you’d do that for them.

𝒘𝒊𝒅𝒂𝒖𝒈𝒂𝒔𝒕
With a fire crackling between, yet the night all around, it is easy for Creed’s features to be lost in shadow. What had been imposing upon first glance is… still somewhat so, hard to push away given the armor and sword that the warrior carries, but is not necessarily enforced given the tiredness that Caleb thinks he can see creeping around golden eyes, the weariness that curves his own back and shoulders echoed. It’s an uncommon thing, to see a mirror in a sword-carrying type, and it makes Caleb wonder if it’s more than the day’s fighting that niggles beneath her skin.
They’re new enough to each other’s company, though, given the Mighty Nein’s enduring chase, that he doesn’t think he can hazard any questions beyond what’s brought up. Hands fold under his chin, then one slips to his lap, where Frumpkin curls, kneading softly. ❝ What… what, ah, does that look like? For someone so — armed. ❞
she’s not used to this, she thinks. but it’s nice, surrounded by... pleasant company. and they are pleasant, the mighty nein — such a whimsical name for a group of adventurers who carry so much weight upon their backs with every step they take on their journey. ( & isn’t she the same sort of broken? there’s a unique kinship to be found in the company of equally tattered souls. ) yet creed’s sword & shield remains stalwart / despite her trembling heart & all those gnawing doubts at the back of her mind. she sees it in the way caleb’s hand trembles at times, no matter how he tries to hide it; sometimes the deepest of scars aren’t left by any physical wound a weapon could leave.
looking up & offering a rueful smile towards the wizard, offering a shrug as she responds. ❛ i’ve never experienced much of a life spent without a sword at my side. so i s’ppose i’ll never know. ❜ unless a day comes when she can truly rest her sword... but such a concept is unfathomably far away right now, & the encroaching evil in the corners of her mind are ever closer in comparison. ❛ perhaps i'd be a performer instead, ❜ creed supplies with a light laugh; an echo of a childhood dream long since departed.

oathbinder, creed’s current sword, is significant to her for so many reasons. her first real mission to prove herself as a paladin of talos was to get rid of the undead hoards plaguing gallwood; it was also her first time leaving the city proper after being taken to caldatta. there was a lot of weight she put on her own shoulders to succeed in her quest.
the tiefling isn’t naive enough to believe that she would truly forgive herself for her self-perceived sins should she succeed in her mission, but proving to herself that she could do this was absolutely a step in the right direction for her character growth. the fight itself was hard, she was almost knocked unconscious but in the end she dealt the killing blow and was victorious.
after her return to caldatta, the longsword was given to her as a gift from igneel, the only person who knows her birthname, as well as just how much her chosen name means to her. therefore the sword can be seen as a physical manifestation of the oath of redemption she has sworn, as well as the oath she has made to herself; all of which is encompassed in the name.
also y’all it’s just a cool ass weapon 😌

how are you ruined? / ruined by trauma.
you cannot get over the past. you are constantly remembering, never forgetting. you cant live in the moment because the moment is not what brought you here. you are birthed, raised, and killed in the past. you will never get over what was done to you, be it big or be it small. you cannot escape what you refuse to confront.
