* dear marisa ,
∗ 8o﹕ sender and receiver go shopping together .
* sincerely , constance —— @constancevonnuvelle .
" IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE ? " with a question on her tongue and bags in hand, she points at the girl then vaguely at the marketplace stands. the student asked for her aid as she hopped from shade to shade like a vampire of sorts until it was finally sunset. the night began to rise and the street lamps blazed to life. the hustle of the evening market died down as the sun kissed the horizon it’s farewells. the mercenary turns to the other seeing her demeanor has changed , she pays it no mind and continues to walk along side her. marisa waves out her hand reaching for the bags the girl was holding onto and nods her head. “ i’ll hold these for you if you want to look around more. i don’t really have an interest in the market outside of basic necessities. ” she says with a shrug and a subtle sense of defeat. “ i don’t really know about... fashion trends and what not... if it’s practical and comfortable i don’t care how it looks. so i don’t pay too much attention to the rest of the stalls with trinkets and fabrics. ” her lips tug into a loose fitting smile. she grabs a hold of the student’s remaining bags, pushing her lightly towards the stalls. “ ... so , go ahead and knock yourself out , kid. ”

* dear marisa ,
[ contact ]
one muse touches the other’s arm in a sympathetic gesture ♡
* sincerely , eirika —— @lunarsbrace .
THERE SHE STOOD, IN SILENCE with that blank expression that felt too natural on her features in the middle of a now quelled battlefield. ensanguined : remains of the lives that poured out of her hands, gore that stuck her face, mangled her hair, stained her leather skirt —— even that felt normal. many believed that only the divine decided what would be &. could be possible. she thinks they may be right . as her sights set on what was meant to be another chaperoned mission for students, accompanied by the knights... turned into what would be another unfortune slaughter in a matter of minutes.
she relaxes, lowering her blade. breathe, in [ ... ] out, repeat. she called this safety, called it refuge . but, she dares not call this freedom. knowing she is weaponized : a mere extension of her blade, didn’t get such a luxury. people found her useful when there was a blade in the ridges of her palms. she knew that. this was her worth: a woman made weapon. she like it that way. it was simple. bones shift inside of her and lungs steady themselves as the battle high settles on her veins, settling her thoughts with each breath, regaining what she called normalcy.
resurfacing long thoughts abandoned in empty churchyards, watching an overgrown graveyard haunted with the voices of those who never made it out &. the amount of times she had been inches away from the sharp end of another’s weapon and two wrong moves from following them in suit. but, it was something . she always emerged —— just fine . whether it be freshly off the battlefield with someone else’s blood dried on her skin with or the the taste of iron seeping out of her teeth.
she flicks crimson off her sword, painting the mud red under it’s empty slash. freedom, hmm... she couldn’t believe such a thing. because in her dictionary : freedom never started for her it only showed in scraped palms, open wounds, and bandages. freedom ends in pain whether it be her’s or another’s or the lingering memories of the way her father yelled the words that always etched ever so clearly in her mind, desperate to make a carbon copy of himself in her skin. with that she knew that her freedom was resigned and it hardly bothered her in the slightest anymore. believing that if she taught herself how to become nihility itself. how to leave behind nothing but a lattice of broken elements —— that everything would be better if she just managed to make it through another day no matter the state she’s in. that was her method of freedom.
just like sealing the endless thoughts, she returns the shamshir to it’s scabbard, she looks around, it was just her and eirika. everyone else seemed preoccupied as they tended to the wounded and apprehended whatever criminals still managed to hold onto their breaths. she turns back to the only person who seemed to keep up with her on the battlefield in terms of speed, but the look on her face was mixed with fear and awe. the student drops to her knees, as silence falls on the two. marisa massages out her neck and looks to the side, taking a knee next to the princess. she gently &. cautiously puts a hand on her forearm, lightly shaking the girl’s under her grip, attempting to comfort her senses to prevent any further damage to her psyche. not that marisa could blame her, most mercenaries are used to this kind of bloodshed that she tends to cause.
her rosen hues look down at her stained clothes and closes her eyes for a minute. she sighs. there’s warmth on her arm, noticing that they’re mimicking her actions. it’s eirika who’s probably staring at her in pure concern. her expressions unravel & lighten under the touch. ‘ i guess... she’s always been like that. ’ she catches herself leaning into the touch for a split second before gentle grabbing the royal’s hands and collapsing them between themselves.
marisa shakes her head in reassurance. “ it’s fine, eirika. this doesn’t really bother me. ” she pauses and raises her gaze back at eirika. “ however, i'm going to guess by the look on your face... that this isn’t your strong point. ” the mercenary smiles wistfully, it was the best she could manage, even if it was out of pity. “ but, that’s okay. we only have one life and if its threatened we need to protect it at all costs. after all... ” a shrug this time putting her hand on the young princess’ head, patting her like she seen a pair of certain siblings do before. “ ... being reborn isn’t an option that we can freely or willingly chose. so, don’t let it get to your head , survival comes first. ”

[ tiles ] [ boop ]
HEAD AGAINST HER SCABBARD &. ��the veil of her flesh covering the morning flares seeping between the structure of training ground; melting the cobblestone architectures as the light falls through the air. she missed the blistering heat of jehanna, only laying in bold sunlight after a rigorous session of training would be the only way to reclaim the memory. the climate was too perfect here, it was unnerving. she wasn’t used to the chill wind against her sweat drenched skin in broad daylight or the way her head didn’t spin after endless hours of training and sparring. her head against the pillar and her legs twist into each other against her. the blinding shades of orange and reds fade even behind her eyelids. the sounds of someone attempting to silently moved in front of her, the sound of their shoes kicking the sands and dirt of the summer debris. her breath was calm, she didn’t move an inch. a student, perhaps? their movement wasn’t stealthy, only careful. did they think she was asleep? the heat slowly fades, as they sit across from her. they were blocking the sunlight. “ ... ” a kind gesture normally but marisa was holding on to the fact, she didn't have to ask them to move nor move herself.
she begins shifting her position to tuck into herself. no longer comfortable with how the sun no longer graces her skin. she lets out a small groan under her breath, not wanting to move just yet. “ ................ ” hearing the sliding of fabric on stone, it drags roughly fraying fibers : a thin yet delicate fabric. her eyebrows furrow at the noise. the shadow growing darker as the fabric keeps dragging. her left hand twitches. she knows he’s leaning over to her. she feels the heat of another near the tip of her nose, she flinches. her rose hues snap open. seeing the blonde’s finger nearly touching the tip of her nose. she gentle and swiftly swats the young lord’s hand away, her face calm and still. the mercenary sighs and gets up from the floor, shaking her head in disapproval. “ ... dimitri, for next time. don’t touch me. if i was really asleep you would’ve lost an arm, and if you were lucky enough maybe a finger or two. ” stifling a chuckle while raising her sword and tilting it side to side, a playful warning. she crosses her arms and tilts her head. eyes closed once more in thought. “ oh, and your reactions are rather slow. maybe you should do about thirty more drills... your morning grogginess isn’t acceptable on the battlefield. ”

[ boop ] one muse playfully taps the tip of the other’s nose. !
SHE SCRUNCHES UP HER NOSE hardly avoiding the sudden touch. instinctively, she flicks her glare at the chipper dame before rolling it away in rhythm with a sigh. marisa isn’t the type to hang out with any of her fellow knights, it was already a bit of a stretch for her to talk with those who trained with her. much less to those with an impressive amount of energy .... and just sheer liveliness such as the knight had already shown her. she stares at the girl of who’s name she’s never bothered to learn. well it’s fair enough to say that marisa has only cared about a handful of things like swordsmanship and coin but names was a whole other situation. only believing that she only learns the names of those who she trusts and those who have bested her.
“ ... i forgot your name but.... uh, what... ” she pauses taking a step back and leaning into her step. the tendency to keep her left hand was always on the handguard became anxious, picking at the edges of her shamshir while the hand messaging the back of her neck, thoughts melts into soft whispering into mumbled and grumbles then crashing into a sigh. maybe being sociable really isn’t for her. “ ... do you want ... i mean, need ... ? ”
the question is blunt and direct, she tried to smile but immediately failed to maintain it. she feels a chill run down her spine. a surge of regret twitches at the back of her head. hand finally releases the hilt and plans over her face and a swift movement to move her head down. ‘ great. now i feel stupid. ’

[ direct ] one muse holds the other’s jaws in their hand for their attention or to redirect their gaze.
(me lets you pick who does what)
PULLED INTO A SUDDEN TUG, directly into one of the many shaded crevices of the monastery’s courtyard. she blinks twice, as the confusion setting in on her features. ‘ well, this was new especially from… him ’ the thought falls on her consciousness : ripples on a quiet lake. “ …. uhm, ephraim….? ” words trail off her tongue. he leaned over her, his arm pressed against the brick wall next to her shoulder. she shifts her weight to lean against the wall, arms crossed and the soles of her boots clinging to the crease of the old worn bricks. she inhaled sharply. normally, one could imagine a normal reunion even between comrades in arms, but she’s certain that this definitely wasn’t the kind of reunion that she’s seen others relish in. she pauses &. sharply exhales. watching the desperation in his expression grow in a matter of seconds. it oddly bothered her. not because she cared but only because he wasn’t one to suddenly act so impulsively.
she turn her head to look around for the source of his troubles but she fails to do so as his calloused fingers wrapped around her jawline, it was careful, gentle, but firm. the mercenary blankly stared at his feature that only grew even more stern the longer they sat in silence. ‘ was this something serious? ’ she sighed once again, how troublesome. they sat in silence for what felt like seconds turned to minutes. the mercenary hadn’t moved an inch, attempting to figure out what was going on. it didn’t follow along too well. the longer they stayed in this corner, the more she felt like he wasn’t really looking at her but looking past her instead. ‘ ugh, what a waste of time. ’ she grabs his wrist. no reaction. she raises an eyebrow and attempts turns again. this time, catching sight of his twin sister for a split second, noting how much younger the princess looked compared to the last time marisa saw her but she didn’t care all that much about the sudden difference if she was being honest. as her thoughts comes to an abrupt close, his fingers once again, turns her attention to him but his seafoam gaze rapidly paces to and from her. orchid hues glares. seriously, if he was hiding they why bother pulling her into it? marisa had no interest in their familial issues to even warrant a proper reaction. but, his actions however did warrant a fair enough reaction.
her ire bites on her lips &. impatience grows with every second of silence the reagent harbored. the sellsword was finally fed up with ephraim. she grasps at his collar, lifting her other hand to imitate his hold on her she forced his attention to her, pulling him closer to her. his legs between her own her rosé locks clashing against turquoise: close enough to feel his breath clash against hers. “ alright, i’ve had enough. what do you want from me? you haven’t said a word to me and you’re really getting on my nerves right now. ” her tone is harsh in the form of a whisper as she lets go of his jaw and his collar. quickly slapping his hand off her slightly pushing him back in the process. “ also, you’re acting strange… and awfully bold. ” she crises her arms over her chest, she lets out a scoff. “ it’s weird. ”
