various things spoken in an adventuring party pt.2
part 2 of an assortment of quotes and sayings i've found doom scrolling through pinterest that i think an adventuring party would say during their never ending perilous adventures . please do not copy/repost or add to this list, thank you!
Affectionate ❛ i am in love with an idiot ❜ ❛ i’d be his if he asked  ❜ ❛ even your rage is beautiful  ❜ ❛ there’s still good in you  ❜ ❛ my darling, you will never be unloved by me ❜ ❛ you are too well tangled in my soul  ❜
Questions ❛ are you a monster or a victim?  ❜ ❛ can anyone betray anyone?  ❜ ❛ who in the fuck authorized this?  ❜ ❛ where do you purchase your audacity from? ❜ ❛ why is everyone in this kingdom so gods damned stupid?  ❜ ❛ if you don’t terrify people a little bit, then what’s the point? ❜
Banter ❛ people can do worse things than kill you  ❜ ❛ gods help anyone who dares to disrespect me/you  ❜ ❛ magic always comes with a price  ❜ ❛ the gods love to fuck with us  ❜ ❛ i’ve got a spell for that  ❜ ❛ i do very bad things, and i do them very well  ❜
Tragedy ❛ anyone can betray anyone ❜ ❛ not all of us are going to make it out alive ❜ ❛ i was once a child with innocent eyes ❜ ❛ i remember all of them ❜ ❛ i’ve been having a bad day for the past several years ❜ ❛ a golden cage is still just a cage ❜
Fierce ❛ what i did, i did for us ❜ ❛ if they touch you, i’ll break their necks ❜ ❛ it appears that you have mistaken my dislike of causing harm as an inability to do so. ❜ ❛ you are divine violence ❜ ❛ burn it all. ❜ ❛ i am so much more than you told me i was ❜
Antagonistic ❛ lets cause a little trouble ❜ ❛ i think you’re caught between who you are and who you want to be ❜ ❛ tell me what it’s like to conquer  ❜ ❛ you’re a little tragedy, aren’t you? ❜ ❛ disrespectfully, i decline  ❜ ❛ with all due respect, which is none- ❜
Neutral ❛ there’s bravery in being soft ❜ ❛ the trees told me about you ❜ ❛ i do not care for your god. ❜ ❛ if i can still breathe, i’m fine ❜ ❛ i’m nice as fuck. ❜
Comedic Relief ❛ do you mean to give me another one of your stoic nod? ❜ ❛ if you don’t want a sarcastic answer, don’t ask stupid questions ❜ ❛ i’ll get over it. i just need to be dramatic first. ❜ ❛ what’s your favorite pastime? mine is reckless behavior ❜ ❛ i’m definitely the nicest asshole you could ever hope to meet ❜ ❛ i wanna contribute to the chaos ❜ ❛ we can’t giggle, we’re at a crime scene! ❜ ❛ the nonsense has escalated ❜ ❛ go stand over there. your existence is giving me a headache ❜ ❛ being smart has never stopped me from being a complete fucking idiot. ❜
BONUS FROM THE HERO TO THE VILLAIN ❛ you took everything from me ❜ ❛ haven’t you taken enough from me? ❜ ❛ go ahead. underestimate me. that’ll be fun. ❜ ❛ touch me and you’ll burn ❜ ❛ the reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated ❜ FROM THE VILLAIN TO THE HERO ❛ don’t bleed on my floors ❜ ❛ people will never bleed enough to fulfill your vision of justice ❜ ❛ i am the child/daughter/son of a king who forgot my name ❜ ❛ i am the end of all things; i have drunk the blood of kings. ❜ ❛ congratulations, you have survived! ❜

"Right, so food we can check off the list. And no, I don't know what a PHS is." But if they had translators, then maybe she could get one for her own use? "Where do I get one of those? It sounds useful." Granted she might need help setting it up, between unfamiliar technology and the inability to read instructions. But once she had it... Well, it'd be a lot easier to learn to read it if she had a translator to help.
An ear twitched back and forth thoughtfully, as Lumi considered.
"At the very least the echo's definitely working for speech, so I can communicate even if I can't read anything yet. So that's at least not a concern."
“You got food,” Zack pointed out. “When you’re done, we’ll go to the visitor center. They’ll probably have pens there.” He didn’t really want to do this, but he didn’t see a way around it either. Not unless he got a call for a mission right then, which he wasn’t sure he wanted either.
“Hey, you don’t have a PHS, do you? I know there are translators on some of those things,” he said, cheerful for a moment until he remembered she was from outer space. Right. Probably not a translator for that.
“I guess not, huh.”

"Well," she answered in amusement. "I told Albedo you were home." So really, it just was a matter of whether or not Albedo had passed on the message.
Judging by the two mi'kittens attached to his legs once he was within range, Albedo had certainly done so. Alice wagged their tail, ears high. "Did you bring home a story?"
“Mm,” He spotted two familiar shapes at the window as they drew closer to their home, and Ophiuchus had to chuckle softly. “I take it you told them?” Why else did Lumi come hunt him down? “Or did they not know?”
Either way, he was mentally preparing himself to be tackled by two mi’kittens the minute he crossed the gate.

"Lumi," G'raha begins, knowing his sister will surely hate him for what he is about to do, but also knowing that there is no other way forward, "will you make me one last promise? Promise me that we will go on a new adventure together-- unlike any we have experienced thus far. We'll travel the lands, cross the seas, and take to the skies upon the eternal wind-- and it will be marvelous! It will..."
Tumblr media
"What do you mean, last? There's no last–" He didn't even need to ask, he knew that already; the only reason he would need to demand such a promise was if he were intending to–
Lumi grabbed his arm, yanking. "Don't you dare!" She'd already lost the others, and they were the last. She wasn't losing another one of them, not here. "You're not–"

"That so?" Good news, then. Maybe they'd finally be done then and could just relax. "Then we can retire soon and leave the world saving to other people for once."
More time for kittens. And Albedo.
“Hmmm, it sounds as though they are plotting.” Ominous, from kittens. Though he supposed if they were just kitten-ing around, it was harmless. “Perhaps I ought to at least save Albedo – sorry, Alfredo, from the clutches of his siblings.” They were getting close, but still he slowed some so he could sneak in a kiss to Lumi’s neck.
“I have some news, but it can wait. Nothing immediately threatening.” He said softly, “We are closer to fixing the shards’ imbalances.”

"Well, they have for me. Poor Albedo, on the other hand, has been subjected to increasingly frequent calls of Alfredo for the past week. I'm not quite sure what's going on there." The fact he'd been answering to it had her suspicious.
Definitely up to something, all of them.
"We may be kitten trouble."
There’s a laugh at that, “I see, oh magical wife of the house; I appreciate your thoughtfulness.” Hm, they were up to something, was it? “Well they better have been behaving for you. Their upcoming trip to visit Old Sharlayan depends on it.” He remembered that much, at least.
With the promise of dinner being at home, he adjusted their course, heading directly there.

"Not a clue, I forgot how to tell time." It was certainly a time, she could tell him that! "They were perfect angels, and that's how you know they're up to something." Something incredibly devious. "Lucky for you, dinner has magically appeared at home and is waiting for us."
By magically she meant she'd ordered ahead the moment she'd felt his arrival.
“Mm, dinner sounds lovely. You will have to forgive me for not cooking; I am exhausted.” What time was it, anyway? “How long was I gone?” Ophiuchus supposed he could carry them to the nearest restaurant that was still open at that time of night.
Another kiss to her wiggling ears, “Did the kittens behave while I was away?”

"You were! It was oh so terrible." Ear wiggles just for the husbun. "I think you should make it up to me with dinner."
Oof!
There it is.
Lumi was caught with a chuckle and a kiss pressed ‘gainst her ear. “I was missed.” Apology rang in his voice as he held her close. “My deepest apologies.”

Flying catwife, apply directly to chest.
Ophiuchus finally returns to the streets of a busy city-state, shaking the snow off his hair and dusting his cloak. Hm.
He’s going to stand here, and wait. Eventually someone will tackle him.

"To take a break," she decided after a thoughtful moment. She leaned forward to allow him to pin the cloak properly, ears swiveling absently as she listened to the sounds of the city harbor around them.
"It's been very tiring and I think we deserve some time for ourselves before we jump into any new adventures." A nice long one, some months maybe. Two minimum. She could use the time to rest and organize.
"Is there anywhere you'd like to settle for awhile?"
It was a question, of purpose.
What did Hestia live for? Why was it that she denied what was truly in front of her? Questions that had answers, and answers that soon sated the traitorous Garlean Emperor’s mind in the answer of a fight. A fight that neither Hades nor Ophiuchus were present for, a fight which both of them were ignorant of – save for the outcome.
Still, they managed to get back to Etheirys – relatively, in good health. Hades had stayed in Old Sharlayan long enough to answer a few questions during the celebration before striking out on his own. Ophiuchus had remained by Hestia, offering to be a buffer where it was necessary.
And, now, it seemed they were bound for Limsa once again.
“And where, does our illustrious Azem intend to go?” Ophiuchus asked her softly, albeit in a teasing tone as he offered to pin her cloak into place. “Perhaps, somewhere with her Emissary in tow? It would help to have a diplomat on hand.”

She laughed. "Yes, I suppose you wouldn't have considered them. Did Hades actually indulge, though?" That was the important question.
Ophiuchus gave her a Look to indicate he’d rather eat a lemon than enlist the Scions’ aid in any endeavour. “Amaurot was busy harassing Hades for a flower crown.”

"How unfortunate. Did you consider enlisting the Scions in this endeavor instead? Or Amaurot itself? I suspect it would have enjoyed the activity."
Ah, he sees.
He cups her face and gives a smol smooch, “I had a good one, yes. Though if I have to make anymore flower crowns I may perish, leaving you to attend to their creation in the future.”
