Chaldean Chronicles: Cadence of the Lostgrail

After fending off the last coming wave of giants, there finally seems to be an end to them and work on creating a new territory can start.

At some point, Scathach turns to Ciel.

"I have never seen a weapon like that before."

@Game Ping 7 @[Serpon]Teno/Penth/Nico/Azu

Ciel at this point was just resting. Her weapon was to her side as she was sitting down and thinking. They had lost a few people but all the masters had survived. Was it okay to think like this, to think that Heroic Spirits were expendable? That is how mages and how 'he' would view it. But before the Burial Agent could continue that train of though, she would be approached by Scathach who was curious about her weapon. "Ah, the Seventh Holy Scripture. It is a weapon made from a unicorn horn and scriptures from the Church that rejects reincarnation and utterly destroys the soul. It is an immortal killer. One of the Holy Churches most powerful weapon. It is not a weapon that anyone can use. Though I try to avoid using it, I prefer to use Black Keys, they are far easier to carry and easier to maintain."

"An immortal killer.."

Scathach looks at Gae Bolg.

"So that's why it felt familiar."

She dematerializes her spear.

"You should be proud of your mastery of a weapon as difficult as that one. Once, or should I say in my future, I took the great-grandson of the god of death seeking under my tutelage. I wonder what he'd say about it."

She looks over at Fie.

"Master, can I have a moment of your time?"

@[Serpon]Teno/Penth/Nico/Azu @Thicc|Fie/Ali/Ayu/Miyu/Nag/Mel

"Thank you Lancer. We are actually pretty familiar if you think about it. I think the two of us could both learn from each other. Though right now I believe we have bigger issues to deal with." said Ciel as she began to think about how Scathach was immortal. Then their was Shiki who had his Mystic Eyes of Death Perception while she had dealings though indirectly with the God of Death.

She turned towards scathach, she had placed her weapons away for the time being seeing as they had dealt with the last of the giants. "Sure, what's up?"

"Yes, I think so too," Scathach answers Ciel.

"I simply wanted to thank you for placing your trust in me," she tells Fie. "We've only known each other for a brief time, but you entrusted me with one of your Command Seals."

@Thicc|Fie/Ali/Ayu/Miyu/Nag/Mel

"Don't mention it, you've made it clear that you didn't want us to die and that was more than enough for me to place my trust in you. If it wasn't for that command seal and you, we probably would have suffered more losses. I definitely would have died if it wasn't for you, so thank you for your help."

"It's the least I could do. If only I'd been stronger in the first place, it would never have come to this."

She's saddened she's had to see her friend go in such a brutal fashion, but she doesn't hold any animosity over it.

"What about your other Servants? I haven't taken notice of anyone since contracting with you."

12:58 AM

@Thicc|Fie/Ali/Ayu/Miyu/Nag/Mel

"I can say the same about myself, if I had been stronger maybe we could have saved your friend... I'm sorry about that by the way." She took that failure personally but it couldn't be helped, medb all but sealed her fate and Tyonis dealt the finishing blow. There wasn't a chance to even save her in that fight and to say she wasn't annoyed was an understatement. She felt so weak in comparison to the other masters. Fie went quiet after being asked about her other servants. "...You're the only one, I don't have any other servants."

"Don't be. I think this was the only way it could have gone. I'd only been delaying the inevitable."

With a bittersweet expression, Scathach accepts everything that unfolded.

"At least this way, she's not hurting anymore."

But there's something that surprises her.

"You don't have any other Servants? Even though you're a Master?"

@Thicc|Fie/Ali/Ayu/Miyu/Nag/Mel

She stayed silent, perhaps scathach was right. Perhaps there wasn't a way to save her. She would never know as the past is the past not the present or future, she couldn't change it. "It not like I didn't have one, they just up and left. After that I never summoned another one."

"..."

Scathach eyes Fie. 

"Understood."

She materializes Gae Bolg again.

"You can still fight, yes?"

@Thicc|Fie/Ali/Ayu/Miyu/Nag/Mel

"...mhm. I can still fight, why?" She drew her shortsword and held it in her hand. She had a feeling of what Scathach wanted but waited to get confirmation.

@Angelic

"Good."

Next to Scathach, two shadowy copies of her appear. 

"As your Servant, it is my duty to see that my Master can survive anything, even when no one else is by her side."

@Thicc|Fie/Ali/Ayu/Miyu/Nag/Mel

"...no one else huh..." She raised her short sword and summoned two shadow clones. She had been over reliant on the other masters here and their servants, she didn't have anyone to stand by her side and it would probably would remain that way after this singularity where she would parted ways with Scathach. She pointed her shortsword at Scathach. "Fine, I'll take this challenge of yours!"

@Angelic

By the time the territory was successfully constructed, Scathach and Fie had been sparring for hours.

"You still haven't answered my question." Anastasia was sitting down by the outside watching her surroundings while Arran was busy making his igloo, for no reason at all. She seems incredibly interested onto why the Master did not answer her question and so was pressuring him in doing so. @[11]Arran [5]Skye

(reply when you can)

"That's because there is nothing to be answered." Arran deflected. Its been a few minutes since he started and the first line of walls is almost done. "I met her when I first work with her teacher and we both become a coworker that's all."

( @Ma|Resur|Anastasia|King| C yee will be slow tho)

"You confuse me. Are you coworkers only, or only friends?" She continues even more curious of their relationship. She had Viy around her arms as usual while she looks at him. "Ohhh, you're making good progress." She adds as she looks at his igloo.

(@[11]Arran [5]Skye )

"Coworkers and friends are inline together." He shrugged as he put another block of hardened snow in the inside of the igloo. He let out nonchalant sound as he heard Anastasia comment on his progress on making igloo. He continue his block making as he said, "Why are you interested in this topic anyway?"

"Coworkers and friends are inline together." He shrugged as he put another block of hardened snow in the inside of the igloo. He let out nonchalant sound as he heard Anastasia comment on his progress on making igloo. He continue his block making as he said, "Why are you interested in this topic anyway?"

@Arran Chatelain (@[11]Arran [5]Skye) - jump "Coworkers are coworkers. Friends are friends. They are most certainly not in-line with each other. That's like saying a General who wishes a coup against a King despite both being coworkers of keeping the Kingdom afloat are friends." She disagreed with him with small hmph. "I'm interested in your romantic endeavors, Master." She chuckles mischeviously.

Arran just rolls his eyes at that. "She's both then." He answer back with a grunt as he put another block and start to put them together with the rest of the wall. "Why are you interested in my love life? I don't have any interesting story with them."

Whilst the two were speaking Asteria was walking about the new outpost and humming a small tune, something to the tune of Love Me Like You Do. When she spots a certain pair the local idol gives the two a chipper wave and smile, then makes her way over to the two. "Heya there, how are you two doing since the mission~? You both did great during that by the way!"

10:28 PM

Anastasia was about to answer Arran, when she had noticed the arrival of another Master. Who's this, another of your 'coworkers'? She asked telepathically, teasingly.

Shush. Arran look at Anastasia disapprovely before looking at Asteria with a polite smile. "Caelestis. We both fine, how are you?" He answer her waves with his only arm.

"I'm doing pretty good, thanks for asking~! Also, please do call me Asteria~ Just calling me is waaaay to formal." She gives Arran a small shrug before giving a small nod to Arran's missing arm. "What happened to your arm? Also, if you would like me to do a little work on it? I know how to do a bit of limb regeneration."

"I'm good, and so is Caster." Arran ignore the request to call with her given name. "My arm? Someone else took it, don't worry about it." He waves of her concern. "Also, thank you for the offer but Avenger already got dibs on healing my arms."

"Asteria. Do you have any romantic relationships as of this moment?" She asks. (edited)

(@MoonBowBishPoisonFist|Pormal @[11]Arran [5]Skye )

Arran groan when he heard what Anastasia said. "Please don't disturb other people with your interest." He said to Anastasia.

"Alright then~ Though if you ever need it you know the musician to call!" She gives Arran her typical wink and two finger heart before addressing Ana's question. "I don't particularly mind, and yes I am currently single. I'm not in any particular rush to get into a relationship but if I find someone then that would be nice~!"

( @Ma|Resur|Anastasia|King| C )

"She doesn't seem to mind, Master." She replied as she continued on. "And so, what exactly are you looking for?"

@MoonBowBishPoisonFist|Pormal

"Hmm...." She places a finger on her cheek and taps it a few times, tilting her head slightly to the side as she thinks. "Someone who doesn't mind me being affectionate or a music addict! What about you the both of you?"

( @[11]Arran [5]Skye @Ma|Resur|Anastasia|King| C )

"A Duchess has no interest in such things." She nods her head proudly with her eyes closed. Say Master, do you mind someone who is being affectionate or a music addict?

Arran frown and open his mouth, before he freeze and close it again. "No one." He answer, while also ignoring Anastasia's questions. "I don't have the freedom to thought of that answer right now."

"Aww that's a shame, I still hope you find someone that you hold a great care for! Whether its romantic or not, or even if you choose not to show it!" She gives the pair a chipper smile.

"Yes, you do. You simply refuse to answer." She responds to Arran coldly, before hmphing. She looks at Asteria. "Asteria, what do you think of my Master?"

Snorting, Arran just shake his head and continue his work.

"I have to agree with Caster on that one." The idol gave the pair a shrug before speaking a bit more. "As for what I think about your master... Well he's like a pineapple you see. Prickly and not so friendly on the outside, but sweet and nice on the inside!"

1:02 AM

"What about you, Master?" She asks her Master who was continuing his work.

"About what? My opinion on Caelestis?" He ask, still continuing his work.

She nods her head. "Yes indeed."

Asteria looks at Arran expectantly, curious as to what he thought of her, for no particular reason of course. Just having more people to be friendly with is good.

"She's..." Arran hands stop his movement as he tries to think the best word to describe her. "She got guts." In the end, he remember the time when both of them enter the den of a Dead Apostle with the other team and her joining the fight againts the fiery Servant.

@Arran Chatelain (@[11]Arran [5]Skye) - jump "What else?" She continues as a small grin formed from her face.

"What else what?" He replies before sighing. "She has a nice voice."

She smiles brightly at Arran, her pointed ears moving point upwards some and almost comedically wiggling up and down slightly. She was a happy idol at him complimenting her voice, since she did try super hard to make sure she was in perfect singing condition at all times!

( @Ma|Resur|Anastasia|King| C )

"What else what?" He replies before sighing. "She has a nice voice."

@Arran Chatelain (@[11]Arran [5]Skye) - jump "Ohhh. Is that all?" She asks.

"What else do you want..." Arran answer with a shrug. "Let's see... She look cute as expected of an idol?"

"Ehe so so what might you trying to be getting out of him Caster~?"

( @Ma|Resur|Anastasia|King| C )

"Ehe so so what might you trying to be getting out of him Caster~?"

@Asteria Caelestis (@MoonBowBishPoisonFist|Pormal) - jump "Hmn? Whatever do you mean?" She tilts her head to Asteria.

"I get the feeling that you're trying to probe him for something specific~ What might that be though?"

"Caster is their anything else that needs to be done before we go?" said Ciel as she decided not to talk bad about anyone. Such things were beneath her in times like this. She would pack up Seventh Holy Scripture and her other items, getting ready to move out.

@Ma|Resur|Anastasia|King| C

"Hmn. I suppose I should tell you the truth. I am attempting to get him a wife before the Grand Order ends." She replies proudly. @MoonBowBishPoisonFist|Pormal @[11]Arran [5]Skye

@Anastasia Nikolaevna Romanova. (@Ma|Resur|Anastasia|King| C) - jump "...What?" He look at her incredulously.

Asteria blinks for a moment, slightly surprised at the answer before letting out a small chuckle. "Haha, now isn't that something else~ Must be nice having your servant be a great wingwoman right Arran~?"

2:05 AM

"What do you think, Miss Asteria, of the surname Chatelain? "

"I think it's a good name~" Cheery half fairy smile go!!

@[11]Arran [5]Skye @Ma|Resur|Anastasia|King| C

"Did you hear that Master? She likes the surname. You should propose this instant. "

"No." He just said that without even bothering to look. "And I don't need you to act as... Wingwoman for me."

"You do. If I don't try for you, you won't do anything at all." She replied to Arran with a hmph. "This is how he is, after all. He's very bad with girls, especially pretty ones."

@MoonBowBishPoisonFist|Pormal @[11]Arran [5]Skye

”That’s something~ Personally I think if he takes his time to just get to know some ladies better he’ll find his person soon enough~ Who knows maybe he’s a little bit of a late bloomer when it comes to this stuff~”

After Rayshifting into the Singularity, Meltryllis moves to the outpost for the mission to reach the Crystal Village.

"I don't think he's inexperienced. He's just annoying and not trying anything because he wants to looks gloomy and cool." She replies to Asteria with a hmph as she stands aand kicked Arran lightly by his leg. "So, what do you think, Miss Asteria?"

@MoonBowBishPoisonFist|Pormal @[11]Arran [5]Skye

"Haha, I guess that's true~ But we have to consider Arran's feeling, its not as if we can force him into loving someone right?" skasmile

She looks at Arran. Thrn back to Asteria. "Is it really important to have such feelings in the beginning?" She tilted her head curiously.

@[11]Arran [5]Skye

Arran ignores Anastasia kicking him while he continue working. He ignore again when she ask a question, unknown if it's directed to him or Asteria.

"Well personally I think it's important at least to some extent. If not then you'll have a rough life together and wouldn't you be inclined to split up?"

@Ma|Resur|Anastasia|King| C

"That's only in the beginning. Perhaps further deeper into your marraige, you will find that spark. If not, then that is truly unfortunate. But surely, it is worth its risks." She nods her head. "Hence, I wish to make a deal with you, Miss Asteria."

@MoonBowBishPoisonFist|Pormal

”I guess that is possible, though rare in this day and age… If only more people could hold some love for not only themselves but the people around them…” Asteria let’s out a small sigh before glancing towards Ana once more. “What kind of deal~?”

@Ma|Resur|Anastasia|King| C

"What do they call it these days again... Oh, that's it! If you namage to bring my Master to three dates, then you may ask anything from me." She proclaims proudly, placing a hand on her chest.

@MoonBowBishPoisonFist|Pormal

@[11]Arran [5]Skye

"Don't bother." Arran said, "I don't have times for a date in the middle of this event."

"If you succeed in going into three dates, I will stop bothering you about this." She responds. "Furthermore, Miss Asteria is also a competent Master who takes on the highest level of missions, similar to yours. Sticking with her would provide easily dispathchable Masters with high level of skills. Efficient, and effective."

@[11]Arran [5]Skye @MoonBowBishPoisonFist|Pormal

"... Remind me, what is your purpose for doing this again?"

"I see I see... That's very interesting... While I don't particularly mind the idea since I need to go out and get to know people anyways, I think Arran minds quite a bit." Asteria shrugs a small bit, being pretty mellow about the whole thing though finding it quite funny.

"The purpose of this is for you to get a wife. He will stop minding once I stop bothering him, after the said three dates." She replies to both of them before she turned to Asteria and curtsied. "Now then, this day will not count as part of the dates, but I will take my leave as there is a mission for me. Master, you will stay and accompany Miss Asteria."

@MoonBowBishPoisonFist|Pormal @[11]Arran [5]Skye

"The purpose of this is for you to get a wife. He will stop minding once I stop bothering him, after the said three dates." She replies to both of them before she turned to Asteria and curtsied. "Now then, this day will not count as part of the dates, but I will take my leave as there is a mission for me. Master, you will stay and accompany Miss Asteria."

Arran merely watch as his Servant leave him alone with the blue haired woman. Releasing a sigh, he stop his work by placing another snow block. "...Sorry about her. Caster is whimsical."

As Anastasia leaves Asteria gives her a peppy little wave, then lets out a small laugh after she was out of sight. "I don't mind, I think it's honestly quite sweet that she's trying to do that. It really isn't hard to see she has good intentions for you~!"

"It is, so that's why I will do this too with good intentions." He turn his body to face her. His face turn serious. "Don't bother to try to get into a relationship with me, Sealing Designation Asteria Caelestis. I won't even be able to support your future."

12:17 AM

"Ignore what my Servant had said, think of the conversation between us three never happened."

"I know and I didn't particularly plan on attempting. I've got my own methods of selecting who I court and I'm pretty strict on them~ I definitely wouldn't want someone to have to deal with the outcome of my Designation if I didn't feel extremely attached to them~" Asteria gives Arran a small shrug, then peeky peeks at whatever he was doing in the snow, wondering what it could be that he had been working on this whole time.

"Good then, at least you have a good head on your shoulder than what you usually do." He told her that and continue his work on making the second part of the wall of his igloo. He plan to use it in case he wanted to be alone or his Servant want to.

"I always think the same way~ I just don't show it always cause I believe that music can solve quite a lot of things ehe~" She does a small happy twirl, making double sure she doesn't hit anyone or thing as she does.

"I will disagree on the part that music can solve anything, but I'll respect your effort for it." He shake his head while continue working.

"It can solve anything if you can just figure out the right way to do it~ But thanks!" She smiles at Arran as she has been doing quite a bit before continuing to watch him do his thing.

Arran continue to work on the igloo while Asteria watching. He is halfway done with the second part of the wall when he speak. "You know, you don't have to watch me working on this. I know it must be boring, so if you want to leave its fine."

"Got it got it~ I'm just finding watching you make this is pretty interesting! I've never made an ice related construct." Asteria starts humming a small tune just a pretty mellow one.

"It's only an igloo. It's easy to make if you know how to. My teacher teach me the technique when we were running around in Greenland." Decided to humor her presence, Arran makes a small talk.

"Oooohhh that's super cool! Greece didn't snow, and London didn't give me enough space to make them... How do you do it?" Idol crouches down beside him trying to figuring how how the flying fuck this works.

"Well..." Arran frowned a bit before answering. "First... You need a lot of snow, that's should be obvious, but you can't just use any snow. You need the dense one, the one that is deeper from this snow that we usually stepped on. And then you make a big circle that is under 10ft in diameter, and start to make your block using a mold. Make sure they are smaller when you go up top and slanted."

"Hmmm that's pretty interesting..." Asteria thinks about this for a moment, then looks at her hands and lets out a small sigh. She's without gloves right now!! Ignore the fact she has magical boots that help her ignore a lot of cold...

Arran sees what she is doing and goes to take a gloves for her to use. "Here, use this if you want to play with the snow."

Asteria gives him a bright smile and puts on the gloves. "You're pretty sweet you know that?" Aaaaaand time to make mini snowmen that'll be placed around the areaaaaa!! Wooo snowpeople!!

Arran just raise one of his eyebrow at the girl as she start to move away and goes to make snowman around here. Letting her do whatever she wanted, Arran continue to finish his igloo.

Asteria makes quite a few snow people, then places them inside and around the igloo. Of course like right up against the base so that they don’t get in the way to much.

10:59 AM

Finally entering the singularity to see what's going on and getting a basic idea she thought of stuff to at least be useful while she's here at least for the moment.

Having spent a bunch of time away, Alex decided to come visit and hang out with his girlfriend after having done some pretty dangerous missions to try and deal with the dragon infestation. He had a few things on his mind and there was something he was still thinking about that he might want to talk to her about. He arrived at the outpost and began searching for Vee.

@Vormal/Asstolfo/Morban/Sword/Cat

Of course, after saying she would come to defend this territory she had travelled to the outpost, The Cold didn't really bother her at all.. With Alexander arriving, she went to greet him of course! @StarryCleric

Alex gave Veronique a hug as he finally got to see her again after a bit of time away when they were trying to stick together more. Work just was so busy these days and they were both needed in separate areas "Hey Vee, how have you been doing? Did the tribe get relocated properly?"

"Yeah, both they and the Romans were relocated to a safer area! I've been well, for the most part. What about you? I read the Reports.." She was worried about him, having learnt about the kinds of missions he had been joining. Really, she should have been there.

"Well it was rather dangerous. I wish we could have talked down the True Ancestor, but she was just too angry at humanity to let us it seems. We had to fight her and it was a hard fight, the dragons were pretty dangerous as well." he shifted to unprotected holding her hand as they stood together "I will have to go back probably to assist with the final fight as well. We need to finish them off so we don't suffer them when pushing into the North."

12:03 PM

"So while we have this chance to be together, is there anything you want to do?"

"Hm.. I don't really.." Ah, actually. There is something new she has to show Alex, isn't there? Indeed, yes. "Actually. There's someone I'd like to show you!"

@StarryCleric

"Oh? Was there something interesting up here you wanted to show me? I didn't think there would be much in the North with how dangerous and snowy it was" he would muse as he was interested in whatever Vee would show him

"Ah, not something. someone!" "Lytus, there's someone else I'd like you to meet." She called for her Servant through their link. After all, Alex had yet to meet Archer. ..It's weird, for some reason she felt the need to introduce Lytus to the people close to her. "After Lyta died, I tried to summon her once more. But.. she didn't come."

@RJ|Sir L/Lytus/Dude/Wolf/-/- @StarryCleric

Appearing from spirit form directly next to Vee, Hippolytus put his hands behind his back and stood up straight, his hood down currently, looking to Alex. "...Hello. I'm Hippolytus, I'm Hippolyta's bastard son by Theseus."

"Oh, hello! What good fortune that Veronique got to summon someone who is family of someone I think she could consider like a big sister. Family is family, no matter how legitimate. I am Alexander, I prefer people call me Alex as it's easier. I am Vee's boyfriend or lover, however you would put it, we are romantically involved." He would squeeze Vee's hand lightly and lean on her a bit

"...Ah. Well, it's not unusual for an Amazon to take a lover, they are a tribe that needs children, after all." Hippolytus grimaced a bit, not out of any form of jealousy, mostly out of him being a little bit repulsed by that kind of thing, but it was his aunt's choice, and she did not follow Artemis, so he refrained from saying anything. "Good to meet you."

Alex tilted his head lightly "Are you ok? Is something the matter, or perhaps am I not meeting your expectations?"

Veronica merely smiled, the Embarrassment on her Face is clear as usual. After all, even now she was still not used to this stuff. Either way, she's just glad these two have met.

"I have no expectations of you." He spoke bluntly, not really meaning it as an insult but absolutely not seeing how it could be taken that way. "I'm just averse to romance, as one who worships Artemis and... As one who has had rather unpleasant experiences with such a thing in general."

12:25 PM

"But if harm is to come to my aunt, and I find you responsible, there shall be consequences."

"Ah. N-no, don't worry. Any Harm that comes to me will be my responsibility." Since she's probably going to be the one putting herself in Danger.

"Ah, well so long as you don't somehow link any harm that comes to her as somehow being my fault, then that is fine. I hope we can get along more in the future though. I don't know much about mythology and history of those things as I was raised by the Church, so I do not mean any harm if I accidentally say things that may be harmful to you." He simply says with a smile, entirely being genuine and trying to be friendly to Vee's new comrade. It was good she had someone from Lyta's family, but hopefully he would not dislike Alex too much in the future... especially not with what he had planned.

"I'm not unreasonable, Aunt Vee is a warrior and is likely to bring herself to harm more likely than you are, I imagine..." He shrugged, returning to a more neutral state now that had been sorted out, gazing off elsewhere.

"Well... that's good. Vee there is something... I have been thinking about asking you for a bit now with how things have been going on recently... and I guess now is as good a time as any...." he paused for a bit, as he pulled out a beautiful flower and held it lightly. Veronique might have seen this flower before in his room, always in a safe spot and never wilting

"..Hmm..?" Now is a good time as any for what..? Oh, Alex brought the Flower with him here..? She is confused of course, what is he going to do?

"Well Veronique Otrerum Nicolo, once these Singularities are over and we can return to the rest of the world, will you spend the rest of your life with me?" Alex says as he offers her the flower, a flower he had clearly shown great care for

"...Ah?" What a Silly question. "Of course. I thought that was the plan from the start..!" Obviously, until Alex told her to she never would leave him. From the start it was clear that she wouldn't, unless told otherwise. Where would she even go?

"Let me be clear then, will you marry me?"

"...--" Ah. That's what he meant. She truly was stupid! Yet, why would her answer change now? So with a flushed face she just nods. "Did you think I would change my mind because you reworded it?"

Alex smiles, extremely happily as he leans in and gives her a kiss on the cheek "No, I just wanted to be sure you were about to make me one of the happiest people in Chaldea." He hands her the flower "Let this represent the promise we have made. Hopefully soon I will find you a ring worthy of your hand, even if you think you are unworthy of such a trinket."

2:31 PM

"Alexander Nicolo..." Alex mutters to himself. Vee probably couldn't image the happiness he was feeling. He finally had a family name. He had always only been Alexander. Just Alexander. No last name as he had no family. Finally... he would have proper family.

......Hippolytus feels like he shouldn't be witnessing this. It's a private and very intimate moment. He's just going to disappear back into spirit form and try to go elsewhere to think and worry about his master.

1

With Lytus gone, Alex would want to get a little more affectionate, but it was already still a lot to do out in the open

This certainly was not the time nor the place to show any major affection. They were after all in dangerous Territory still. Either way though, Veronica is just embarrassed from all that.

Alex would be smiling happily, glad that she said yes, he wasn't entirely sure what to do now as they stood together in this northern area. Perhaps they should go find somewhere more private or maybe just find a place to be together and enjoy each other's company "Do you want to go somewhere?"

"Ah- Er, No. A-after all.. there is still work to be done. We're almost done, I feel. Maybe later..?"

"Ok then. I should probably get back to the fortress in case the call to head out comes. Be safe out there, darling~" Alex says as he gives her another kiss on the cheek before regretfully parting

Asteria mellowed out somewhere pretty out in the open inside of the outpost. Spending her time peacefully singing some songs to pair with the tunes she was playing on her guitar. Some in all sorts of languages, English, Japanese, Chinese, Spanish, some inhuman languages, even Russian and Arabic ones!! As of the moment though she was singing a few Russian tunes.

Asteria Caelestis makes a Performance check!

Anastasia first was looking for her Master, in order to speak with him. It was then the symphony of the Half-Fae in which Anastasia chose to walk towards to instead, with the snow beneath her feet. The Grand Duchess of Russia and the snow were the perfect partners, arriving with much grace to where the location of Asteria. She appears in front of the singer. "Greetings."

@MoonBowBishPoisonFist|Pormal

Asteria sets her instrument face up on her lap and gives the Grand Duchess a small wave. A cheery smile on her face as she does so. Afterwards the songstress greets Anastasia with a little bit of a singsong tone. "Hello there Caster, how are you today~?"

@Ma|Resur|Anastasia|King| C

"I'm the same as I am yesterday." She responds as she held Viy between her arms and looked around to see if anyone else was there, and once confirming there wasn't anyone else. "How was your chat with my Master?" She got straight to her point.

@MoonBowBishPoisonFist|Pormal

"It was alright, though we decided to go our own paths. The two of us aren't exactly compatible~ It's a bit difficult when both people have baggage which they do not wish to burden the other with." Asteria places a hand on her cheek as she says this, tilting her head that direction slightly and letting out a small sigh. It was a bit of a shame, but she was hoping the two could at least be coworkers on friendly terms if not then outright friends!

"I see. An excellent excuse." She responds a bit coldly, before she sighed softly, clearly disappointed. Deep within her cold eyes, was a clear affection for her Master, and even with that a clear sadness was noticeable. Despite those emotions, her face remained stoic, to hide such emotions. "In the end, I wonder if I can do anything for him."

”It’ll be fine, if you’re just there and keep supporting him he’ll come around to it eventually! Perhaps just ease off of it a little bit. Maybe try it with someone whom he’s close with~?” Asteria smiles at Ana cheerfully and moves her hands behind her, placing them together behind her back.

Caren leaves again

In a coalescing whirl of magical energy, Scathach takes form near Fie. "You've been so unsatisfied with yourself lately, Master." @Thicc|Fie/Ali/Ayu/Miyu/Nag/Mel

"Well yeah, I was considered a prodigy where I'm from and this whole singularity has just been eye-opening. It should be expected though, that modern-day things will never compare to the things of the past. The feeling of failure sucks so I try my hardest to not fail but failing is needed to succeed. It's not a self-hate thing it's just..." Fie paused for a moment trying to think of how she wanted to say this. "Being unsatisfied with my current self shows I have room to make improvements, thus allowing me to push myself harder in my training to one day meet the expectations I've set for myself. That's not a bad outlook is it?" @Angelic

@Fie (@Thicc|Fie/Ali/Ayu/Miyu/Nag/Mel) - jump "That's the answer any teacher wants to hear." Scathach says that, but she doesn't look satisfied. "Taking breaks is part of training. I may be harsh at times, but even I know the value in resting." Gae Bolg materializes in her hand. "Your weapon is an extension of yourself. To achieve perfection with it, you must achieve perfection with your body." She points at Fie's head. "..And your mind." For some reason, she's in a really talkative mood. Is she.. smiling? "What do you think happens to your mind when you never rest?"

@Scáthach Lily (@Angelic) - jump "Good to know but judging by that look on your face, I did something wrong." She stayed silent as Scathach spoke to her about taking a break, it's true that she had been pushing herself recently but she wasn't exhausted yet... Was she? "My weapon... Is an extension of myself? Perfection..." She muttered to herself as she thought of her weapon, Zelus Winds. Originally supposed to be a pair of short swords but after meeting Danzo she decided to add a range option to the weapon. It was natural to give your main weapon a name so she gave it a name that happen to come to her randomly, Zelus Winds. "My mind when I never rest...? It becomes... Exhausted and can't perform at its best." She wasn't pushing herself that hard was she? She couldn't tell, her mind has been on the goal of becoming stronger recently.

@Fie (@Thicc|Fie/Ali/Ayu/Miyu/Nag/Mel) - jump "Yes." Gae Bolg disappears again and Scathach lowers her arm. "Tell me what you do when you're not fighting or training," she asks with a kind expression.

"Yes." Gae Bolg disappears again and Scathach lowers her arm. "Tell me what you do when you're not fighting or training," she asks with a kind expression.

@Scáthach Lily (@Angelic) - jump "Well... Mostly meditation, taking care of my weapons to make sure they're ready for combat or reading but I haven't read much lately." She didn't do much when she wasn't training, in her mind, there wasn't much else she could do while she wasn't training or fighting.

@Fie (@Thicc|Fie/Ali/Ayu/Miyu/Nag/Mel) - jump "Mmm." Scathach nods. "Let's meditate."

30 minutes and one long focused meditation later . . . "..hm..hehe." Scathach lets out a girly laugh.

@Thicc|Fie/Ali/Ayu/Miyu/Nag/Mel

"You're laughing? Why?" Assuming they were done with their meditation session, Fie glances over at Scathach. Simple curiosity as to what caused her to laugh.

@Fie (@Thicc|Fie/Ali/Ayu/Miyu/Nag/Mel) - jump "No reason." Scathach's usually unexpressively stern face is warm with happiness. "I just thought having a Master isn't so bad."

@Scáthach Lily (@Angelic) - jump "That... Does that mean you don't think I'm a bad master?" The question alone made it obvious Fie didn't hold herself high when it came to being a master. She only had one servant before and they had just up and disappeared on Fie.

@Fie (@Thicc|Fie/Ali/Ayu/Miyu/Nag/Mel) - jump "It means I like you, Master."

"It means I like you, Master."

@Scáthach Lily (@Angelic) - jump "you... Like me? That's... Honestly a relief. I don't know why but I thought you might not like me. It's weird cause I never really cared before if someone liked me or not."

@Fie (@Thicc|Fie/Ali/Ayu/Miyu/Nag/Mel) - jump "Yeah, you're like that." Scathach stands up out of the sitting position they'd meditated in. "Yosh." She brandishes her Gae Bolg and suddenly, there's eight of her all pointing their spears at Fie. "That was a good break. Let's go, Master."

@Scáthach Lily (@Angelic) - jump She stood up and readied her own weapons, Zelus winds. She summoned clones of her own as she prepared for the upcoming spar with her servant. "Alright."
