see you later, six | r.sandin
summary; sandy’s been traded.
-
You were at work when he called. You missed it the first two times.
The third time, your assistant came rushing in with your phone “you’re going to want to take this-“
You looked up from your presentation “Lily, what-“
Your client pulled his phone out “Holy crap! The leafs have traded Sandin to Washington”
Your breath hitched and you snatched the phone out of Lily’s hand, answering the call you knew it was him.
“Ras” You mumbled, sadness clearly evident in your voice.
“Hi Käresta” he has clearly been crying.
“Baby I’m at work, what is going on?”
He sighs “They’ve traded me, Washington”
You clench your eyes shut and whisper “Okay… ok, right we will deal with this when I’ve finished this meeting. I’ll be finished in half of an hour”
“They want me on a flight tonight. I’ll need to go home and pack”
“I will meet you there, just pack your stuff” he mumbles an agreement and you hang up, turning back to your clients.
“I apologise for the interruption there-“
The man, the one who had pulled out his phone smiles softly “Sweetheart, go home”
You shake your head “No, it’s okay-“
He stands “I think you’re needed at home more than you’re needed here right now” you smiled gratefully, picking up your bag.
“Thank you, please speak to Lily and we will reschedule”
“Please pass along our congratulations to Mr Sandin on the new team. We’re big leafs fans, he will be missed” You give a tight lipped smile and leave.
Your entire ride home, your knee is shaking with anxiety. Entering the apartment, you can hear him hauling stuff around.
“Ras, I’m home!”
The clattering stopped “I’m in the bedroom!”
You appear in the doorway, leaning on it and staring at him.
He can see the tears in your eyes, even behind the smile “Älskling, please don’t cry…”
You give a watery smile, stepping off the doorframe and hugging him “I’m so proud of you Ras”
His fingers tangle in your hair “I love you, so much”
You sniffle, wiping your nose on the back of your hand before you head to the closet. You begin pulling stray clothes and folding them, placing them in his suitcase.
Your folding becomes more aggressive, Rasmus reaches out and stops you “Baby…”
The hoodie in your hand falls to the floor and you sob “This isn’t fair!”
“I know, my love”
“It’s not fair, Ras!”
He doesn’t respond, he knows there isn’t anything he can say to make this better.
When he has his suitcases packed and next to the door you’re lingering around, you’d made something to eat in order to consume your time.
“Babe, I’m leaving soon”
You nod, waltzing towards where he stood. Your jaw clenched as you tried not to cry again.
“Don’t cry”
“I won’t” You mumbled, wrapping your arms around his neck.
“I love you, so much” he kisses your lips over and over again, erupting giggles from you.
“I will be with you in a week” you mumble against his lips “Packing up our lives and headed to the evergreen state… what are we gonna do without bagged milk?” You joke.
“I’m sure we’ll survive” he smirks, then his phone rings.
You look at him “Your ride?”
“Yeah…”
He leans down and kisses you one last time “I’ll see you in a week”
“You go out there and show Washington what they’ve got, okay?” You say, tears lingering once again.
“Okay”
You help him down to the car with his bag, holding the door as he gets in and shutting it behind him.
You stand on the sidewalk watching as the car pulls away. The car disappeared around the corner and you still stood there just staring down the street.
“fucking Washington”

Wars and Wild as knights in Lu
They have issues.
I have a lot of thoughts on Wild and Wars and their relationship (Order of this post is talking about saluting, Wild and Wars' different perspectives, memory issues, and fire) Rant time.
No saluting!!
So Wild took a formal- almost/awkwardly saluting pose when Wars confronted him in 'Entrance pt.2'
It's similar to the first time Wild addressed Wars as 'captain'. His left hand is up from where a salute should be, and his overall posture is awkward, with his shoulders and right hand raised, but it's clear he's trying to do a salute in the presence of a fellow knight.
In the second example his hand is behind his head, but his posture is very straight and his right arm stiff- he's again attempting a formal saluting position. Which is still awkward
It is less clear but his changes in posture clued me in. He goes from like a deer in the headlights to visibly sweating to straight backed and looking up at Wars- looking at the changes in his body language
Side note but I literally love how Jojo draws the champions tunic so much-
We can't see the action of Wild's body language in a comic, just the positions he went to. But he visibly leaned away from Wars before switching to a straight backed saluting-like posture. He's clearly freaked out, hence Twilight's face: >:(
I think that Wild taking somewhat military poses around Wars is important to their relationship issues because it comes from his struggle with memory and identity
.
So like. All of them have different perspectives
Wars
I adore Wars. He is baby and I love him. I think it is also important to acknowledge that he would not speak to any of the others this way.
And the scarf man cmon it's so pretty they are so cute-
Why is Wars talking to Wild like this? He's called him out and reprimanded him multiple times in front of the others. Wild has taken it well but tbh if it was Legend I think he would be on fire.
To some extent I think he is in captain mode. I think that he has trouble seeing Wild as not a knight. Wars gives Wild respect as a knight who sacrificed for his kingdom, but now it seems he's taking it away as a knight who's not doing well enough since he 'disregarded the plan'
At least I think that's the outside (or Wild's) view of it. But Wars internally really cares about Wild and he saw him run up to a giant and lose it. Different ways of showing concern perhaps?
Who wouldn't want to keep Wild from getting more scars?
I just. Don't doubt for a second Wars really cares about Wild- even if the way he's acting still isn't cool. He has no right to treat him like a soldier any more than the rest of the chain, and right now I think Wild is acting as the more mature person.
Wild
I adore Wild. He is baby and I love him. I think it is also important to acknowledge that although he is clearly making efforts after Twilight's injury, Wild has ignored Wars for the majority of Lu, by not speaking to him much, and not thanking or acknowledging Wars when he directly helped him. (Small example being walking with Hyrule not Wars when injured and not directly responding to Wars)
Wars cares about and respects Wild, but it seems Wild wants nothing to do with him, and he's been cold towards Wars for the majority of Lu. To Wild, Wars reminds him of his perceived failure. Which is valid feelings, but still not fair. And I think that ask is talking about these two.
The thing I love about this is each of them are right and wrong in some ways, leading to the tension between them. So fully blaming either of them is not logical
The rest of the chain is just vibing. Except twilight who's mad and wants them to just grow up, but. Heros of courage not wisdom @uniquevoidflowers ;)
And that ask- '''Are any of the Links ever jealous of another Link for adventures that were less difficult/life threatening?'' ''When you hear Wild say he 'hates' someone you'll have your answer.''' somewhat leads to my next point-
Wild's identity and memory issues exacerbate all of this
In Entrance, Twilight is being stressed and defensive, that's ok. What concerns me most is that Twilight has talked with Wild through stuff like this in his rough moments
Wild has tried to be formal several times- he is not very good at it
Four's face I can't didnwidkekfjej
Wild isn't and can't be 'him'- the same 'perfect' (<actually has crippling anxiety) knight he was before, and Twilight knows this. And I agree with him a bit, I think, that Wars is making things worse in Wild's mind by being that perfect soldier, and seemingly holding Wild to a standard he isn't
Wild's attempts at saluting is symbolic of that- Wars makes him feel like a failure trying to be the person he should be. But Wild shouldn't be anyone but himself.
Anyways. Fire.
Wars and Wild have issues, and I want them to work through all their relationship drama so they can reach their PEAK dynamic, which is obviously this
I mean like. We need these two to be friends
Anyways. Wild is in this constant state of identity crisis, and being around Wars has not been beneficial- neither of them is or has been showing the other the respect they deserve. Not as knights, but as people and brothers. They need a get along shirt.
