Just the two best lancers I own hanging out and having a great time bonding over being ancient, often-hated and almost always misunderstood beings who just want normal lives. Just a relaxing girls' day at the beach doing what anyone would enjoy.

Art by the eternally delightful @wishem

#this definitely isn't because Romulus=Quirinius wasted a bunch of SQ and I'm still bitter #or rather that's exactly what happened but during the art process I started shipping these two for real #I like to think Yu appreciates having someone she can talk to who understands what she's been through to a degree #meanwhile Xu Fu is begging Ishtar to teach her the ancient Babylonian seduction magic Eresh is obviously using on Yu #Ishtar is concerningly willing to teach her everything she knows about love #Ritsuka and Skadi are conspiring to keep Xiang Yu in the field as much as possible #because this is way more entertaining than anything in Chaldea's media servers
