Linde

“Thank you, Lord Leo! I did not take you to be so blunt about something like that!” Despite his affliction, she seems to be taking this casually.

Oh! Well I hope that is a good thing? It seems to be a popular thing among quite a number.

+ Still, she took place at his side, waiting for direction. His muttering does catch her ear easily though.

“They are still hardly a threat. …If I may…”

The implication lingers in the air, as she gives her tone a single, emphasized shake, confident in its power.

“If that is what you wish, I suppose you *do* have more experience against these foes than I.” Linde nodded, withdrawing the confidence to allow Robin’s lead for this skirmish.

The number was a touch concerning, but neither of them were fresh to fighting, even against soldiers—former or not. +

Yes?

“*Lady* Linde? Heh, that is hardly necessary, but it does sound nice~!”

You hate me

Sunday!

+ I have ever heard of one! Seems like it will be up to us to put them back to rest then.”

Even with the warning, and effort to take the lead, Linde simply shook her head.

“This should hardly be a problem! If you doubt Aura, then let me put your worries to rest, along with our adversaries.”

“That sounds terrifying, and the sounds alone already are making my skin crawl…” Her nose scrunched in response to the sounds.

Her eyes darted around, scanning the horizon for the digest sign of danger to prevent a preemptive attack—hopefully.

“Undead? Ugh! That’s a nightmare brought to life if +

“Oh! That looks lovely, just as you say~! Thank you, Lord Leo!”

No, I…

[Sigh.]

I assumed perhaps you had skills outside of fighting with how you had phrased a prior comment.

Ah.

Well, curiosity killed I suppose!

+ “Risen…? I have never heard of them before!”

+ gave all light chuckle at this sudden revelation.

“You don’t have to be anything but casual with me, I promise! I would prefer not making a commotion.”

The growling is picked up by her, almost the same instant Robin hears it. She stopped dead in her tracks, Aura swiftly opening in her hand. +

It did make sense, especially with the context of her being written within texts Robin himself had read. The mage truly was in the future now…

“It sounds like you are cherished by the denizens, as well as their crown prince then! I had thought you were merely a humble scholar until now!”

She +

“Hm…surprise me!!”

And where might these skills of yours best be practiced, Sir Forde?

You give up?

+ tell the truth there is scant familiarity in this place…”

+ something truly fulfilling, no. I can take satisfaction in knowing there will be no victims of his to mirror my tale.” Succeeding her mission did not quell anything besides providing a solution to the Dark Pontifex’s further atrocities.

“I do look forward seeing Ylisstol with my own eyes! To +

The tactician’s reaction was only met with her stilled grin. His company was as welcoming as he was endearing and a lovely acquaintance to chat with.

Nothing good came from Gharnef’s existence, as far as she was concerned, besides the union of the Altean army.

“It is not a feeling of joy or +

“Wine? Only once or twice, but I am fine to try some again.”

I suppose so! And they say chivalry is dead~!

[Smirk.]

Easy now, it was just a humorous little thing~!

“That sounds good. Did you have something in mind?”

+ what I felt was right.”

+ was hardly a bother too. “You seem happy to do so! I shall trust your trailblazing expertise,” Linde responded with a sly playfulness.

“That’s right! Under her blessing I wished to make a difference, and avenge my father in the process. It may not have been the most noble pursuit, but I did +

Compassion that was almost inhumanly patient, or at least that’s how she saw it. Linde could be quite empathetic, but Marth and his kin were the definition of it, selflessness too.

A lengthy walk gave them more time to converse and become better acquaintances. She had plenty of patience so it +

All water under the bridge now, Sir Forde.

Perhaps it was wrong of me to assume you were making a slight at my expense when we were strangers!
