tearfultrepidation --> cautious-shy-yet-bold

[I’ve spent a lot of time reworking this blog tonight ehee. Anyway, Hello! I’m a new multi-muse fire emblem blog for the following characters: Dart, Jaffar, Jakob, Lowen, Neimi, Sakura, and Stahl. 

I originally ran the blogs @shrinkingmaiden, @thisisridiculousyouareridiculous, @service-with-a-sneer/@dourbutler, @hungry-for-righteousness, @hollow-enforcer, and @sightseerbuccaneer, and work not only put a lot of my plans on hold, but I found constantly switching between blogs to be a hassle, especially for that volume.

At any rate, I’d love to start RPing as these characters again, so please give me a chance! Also, I’d really appreciate this message being spread!]

In her haste to leave the meeting, Sakura hadn’t noticed Takumi following until he called for her; she was so lost in her thoughts that his calling her startled her, causing her to jolt. 

Still, Sakura was glad it was him, and was thankful at the carefully-worded derision of the meeting. It was a nice bit of levity. 

“Heehee… y-yeah it seemed so,” she replied, offering a small smile, teasing, “was that you I heard fidgeting throughout?”

Takumi found these meetings rather boring himself. But his brother had asked him to focus on politicking and strategy, not only combat. He did his best to honor his wishes, but standing still in a hot tent, surrounded by a drone of voices, was sometimes just too difficult.

“I don’t see why we can’t just leave it up to Ryoma. He makes all the decisions around here,” he said, petulantly.

Sakura frowned. She knew Takumi could be a skilled leader--in and out of combat--but, well, Ryoma cast a damn big shadow. 

“Y-yeah,” she answered simply, lowering her head, “Ryoma’s much better with talking to people than either of us... but y-you two are both so strong, and much more able to apply these meetings to y-your own fighting strategy...”

Her? She was just left praying--desperately praying--people wouldn’t hurt, that the fighting would end soon. It’s not as though she didn’t take anything from these councils or that she didn’t understand them... she just...

“...I just don’t think I’ll ever feel comfortable in those meetings,” Sakura finally said, with a sigh.

“I’m pretty much fine now. I’ve got a pretty lady around me and candy,” he smirked, flirting jokingly with her. “I can handle anything now!” In reality though, Asugi just feared that if his father saw that he’d fallen for such a stupid prank that he’d get another earful. With a skillful swipe of his tongue he pulled the sucker into his mouth with his tongue and grinned triumphantly for a moment, then his eyes shut, and a blush spread across his face as the flavour of the sweet treat took over his thoughts.

Mentally he picked it apart as he tasted it, analyzing all of the ingredients so that he could prepare his treat for later. Asugi looked up at Sakura with a very blissful expression and nodded in approval of the flavour. “I hope you got more of these for yourself because these are amazing, and I’m sure anyone with a sweet tooth will enjoy them,” he said as if reviewing the candy for her.

“Oh p-please, stop!” Sakura cried, turning her head quickly to hide her blush, quite flustered at the sudden (and undue!) compliment–from his presumed point of view, she was old enough to be his mother! Still, if he was well enough to be ribbing, Asugi probably really was feeling better, if a bit groggy. 

As she recovered from her embarrassment, Sakura watched Asugi consume the lollipop in a mixture of morbid curiosity and mild horror; those expressions he was making seemed unnecessarily… lewd for one merely eating something enjoyable. Sure, it was no secret he adored sweets, but this shameless display was something else. Was this another unforeseen effect of the berries he consumed?

As she readied her staff, Sakura was relieved to hear Asugi talk again, even if it was just offering his opinion on the treat, as though such wasn’t evident just looking at him. Still, what he said did warrant reply, and the way he put it was amusing.

“I-I’m glad you enjoyed it so much! Unfortunately, th-that was the only one left o-of it’s flavor,” Sakura replied, lowering her staff, and hastily adding, in an attempt to deflect the notion that she was terribly disappointed, “b-but I’m m-much happier allowing you to enjoy it than myself–I-I don’t think I’d be able to a-appreciate it as fully…” 

Lowering her head sheepishly over her “outburst”, Sakura asked, “a-as for your paralysis… are you able to move at all n-now…?”

Asugi grinned as he saw her blush and laughed a little bit. “What, are complements not your thing M'lady?” He said with a grin on his face that said ‘even if I am being formal it’s just so that I can tease you more’. The young ninja knew it was rather taboo for those who were kids of others in the army to flirt (even jokingly) with the 'older’ group. But technically he was the same age as the bulk of the group, which seemed to throw a lot of people off.

“Yeah, I really did enjoy it! Thanks Princess Sakura. It’s rare for someone to go out of their way to give me sweets. Especially when they’re also quite the fan of sweets themselves. Though I’ve heard you prefer baked sweets over the hard candy stuff right? I’ll have to pay you back by making you some pastries after I can move around properly again. "Thank you though. For real, that was one of the best suckers I’ve ever had and I appreciate you taking some time out of your schedule to come by and bring me it.”

“Still have dead limbs though. Those berries are something? I’m surprised Midori would give me berries like this for candy when clearly there’s better uses for them outside of candy making. And poisoning me for a cruel joke I suppose. But, she is my cousin, and I’ve played some pretty bad tricks on her too. Don’t worry though. My body will heal from it soon.”

Sakura pouted at his continued teasing and crossed her arms. Though she elected to refuse to validate his remark with a direct reply, she couldn’t stop her face from reddening, betraying the fact that, yet again, Asugi got to her. 

“Well, again, I’m glad you enjoyed the lollipop,” she replied, pointedly jumping upon the change in topic, relaxing slightly, “a-and yes, that’s true! I-I do prefer pastries and mochis, and I would love to try your baking...” It was hardly a secret to anyone that Asugi made sweets in his downtime, Sakura included, and, for what she’d heard, she’d been secretly hoping for an opportunity to try some herself. While it was a little surprising that he knew more where her preferences lie, she decided not to question it. Asugi was a ninja, after all. 

Asugi gave a blase update of his condition, and to Sakura’s mild relief, he really did seem to be getting much better. Still, it was in her nature to be anxious. 

“Don’t worry though. My body will heal from it soon.”

Shaking her head, Sakura replied, “I-it’s no trouble, really. I just want to make sure you’re okay before I leave you on your own.” A small part of her wondered what it was the twin cousins were doing to each other that this was considered possibly a cruel joke , but she also decided she really didn’t want to know (did one of them push the other off a flight of stairs and let it escalate from there?). 

“O-oh, um, Asugi, may I ask a favor?” Sakura inquired, “w-when you’re feeling better, and i-if you’re still up to it, I was wondering...--” Sakura lowered her head, gazing sheepishly at the ninja, nervously clasping her hands together in her lap, “--w-well, if you were still going to make something, i-if I could... help?”

It’s everything Sakura can do to avoid rolling her eyes after reading the texts, and she sighs instead. Honestly, would it kill Subaki and Hana NOT to constantly measure each other up in such a passive-aggressive way? Knowing full-well they’d hardly change their ways now, not after so long of stubbornly refusing to, Sakura, out of curiosity, replies simply:

What was it you two did /this/ time?

And shakes her head upon hitting send. With these two it was always so hard to tell if it was a petty squabble over sports, or something more serious.

Sakura yelped in surprise when the beast was struck down by some distortion and quickly identified the source of the attack; a young woman, with long, gorgeous hair and clothes the likes of which seemed utterly foreign to her. As the woman approached, she inquired upon Sakura’s well-being and on the staff, to which Sakura replied:

“Y-yes, I am unharmed… and yes, t-that’s mine…” As she made her way down, she added, in a wavering voice, “a-and I can manage…” She slowly lowered herself from the final branch, and while her shaky legs almost gave out once she was standing on solid ground, she otherwise managed to get herself down with no troubles. Finally taking the staff without looking the young woman in the eyes, and with a sniff, Sakura finally murmured, “t-thank you very much,” with a small bow.

She glanced nervously at the beast, which now lie dead.

“I-I’m s-so sorry…” she whimpered to the woman, and to an extent, the felled beast, “I-I don’t know what happened, b-but I’m lost…”

Sakura wiped at her eyes, in a vain effort to hide that she was on the verge of tears.

Micaiah watches the girl descend; she thinks about helping her once or twice, when it seems like her legs will collapse beneath her, but fortunately she seems to have lowered herself from the tree with little complications.  She’s unsure whether the girl is shaking because of the beast, the adrenaline rush from it, or from Micaiah herself.  She hopes it’s the former two and not the latter.

“Oh…”  The girl begins tearing up, and Micaiah reaches for words to comfort her with.  “It’s all right; no need to cry…  I am Micaiah, from Nevassa.  That’s the town near here.  It’s safe here, so don’t worry about running into any more danger.”

She’s aware of the initial contradiction in her words when compared to the dead beast near them, holding up her Flux tome for further proof of safety.  “I’m a magic user, so I’ll strike down anything else that might attack us.  But these woods are relatively peaceful… I doubt anything else will happen.”

Slowly, she begins to consider her next options.  Obviously she can’t leave this girl here.  While she would prefer to immediately assist her, the castle guards will likely notice her absence soon, if they haven’t already.  She decides to wait for this girl’s input and see how far her town is before choosing a course of action.

Sakura bites back a sob, and simply replies, “My name is Sakura,” and with a bow that further emphasizes her gratitude, adds, “I c-can’t thank you enough for saving me, Micaiah.” It’s hard to feel completely secure--she was still horribly lost, and shaken from the attack, but Micaiah’s presence is a huge comfort, without such Sakura would have surely broken down by now--if she hadn’t been killed first. 

“...Um, if y-you wouldn’t mind, I think it’d be best if I stayed by you...” Sakura begins, finally able to breath normally again, “I d-don’t wish to be a burden but... I’m quite lost, and I haven’t even heard of this Nevassa before.” She studied the silver-haired woman, trying to find any hint that she was overstepping her bounds, and added, presenting her staff, “I-I’m a healer, so I could try and k-keep you safe too... if in an indirect way...”
