"Ah—" Forrest had been trying to do his best to stick to healing, but one way or another, he had ended up against Nanna. He paused to look over her, particularly at the wing in her hair. "That's such a darling hair accessory!" After a smile, Forrest sighed. "My apologies that our first meeting must be like this... but I do insist you tell me more about it afterwards." Brandishing his iron gauntlets, Forrest rushed in ready to punch, though not as quickly as he would like. (Roll: 7 *Hit!*)

HP: 2

The Blue Lions has no need of subpar healers. Nanna carves her place on the battlefield itself, sword in hand rather than a staff. She must forge a path for her classmates to take the center hill and command the ballista. One volunteer Alliance soldier is sent to the ground, and Nanna raises her sword to confront the next one. A familiar face greets her–his name is a mystery, but his looks are captivating even in the heat of battle.

What is this, a compliment on the battlefield? For a moment Nanna is caught off guard, but her instincts return to her when the Alliance student rushes towards her with those wicked gauntlets. 

Roll: 16, dodge!

Quick on her feet, Nanna sidesteps out of the way. “Most certainly!” She quips with a grin as she raises her sword.

Roll: 4, regular attack!

          dawn bathes the mountain landscape in a crystalline expanse of deceptive peace. nature is silent in the wake of the unprecedented snowstorm that had swept through the throat several days prior, and the absence of birdsong and any stirring of life in the trees lends the scenery an undisturbed, almost glass-like stillness in the first light that breaks over the distant peaks: beautiful yet deadly. nested in the cliffside of a jagged ridge, fodlan’s locket juts out like a breathing behemoth in the endless, blinding white. thick snowfall, imperceptibly deep, blankets all, concealing treacherous ravines and steep topography under equalizing, gentle slopes.

          stonily, he takes in the view and isn’t fooled by its allure. fodlan’s throat is different from the mountains of gautier ( the peaks are older here, the ground softer ), but mountains are mountains, and their grandeur splayed in snow lures unwary travelers to easy deaths.

          but driven by desperation and a critical shortage of manpower, the valkyries had spared no time in delegating them tasks as soon as they’d arrived: tasks best suited for a skilled mountaineer, or at least someone on pegasus back to avoid the dangers of hidden trenches and weakened bridges. he makes a final check of his equipment: his weapons, food and water, spare clothing, bandages and vulneraries, and a pack holding other supplies, including several meters of corded rope.

          their only guide and protection isn’t even a human one, though given that the fortress’ rescue dogs have undergone rigorous training and trial, the irony that they’re likely more equipped for this mission than any of them isn’t lost on him. his partner for this task should be bringing theirs — and how long is he expecting him to wait?

          puffing heat into cupped palms, he pulls on his gloves, flexing fingers against the fur-lined leather that’s seen him through visits into the continental heart of northern faerghus, and shifts his weight again. his impatient sigh takes shape as a cloud, dissipating into the frigid air. supposedly, the place where the ground patrol had last seen the strange man before the blizzard had struck isn’t far north of here. he has his doubts as to whether they’ll find anything; if he had passed through the area, the stranger and his kupalan gauntlets are likely long gone. besides, they ought to be focusing on more important things than chasing some supestitious rumors.

          finally, the approach of footsteps crunching in snow pull him from his thoughts, and he turns to greet the other student with a frown and exhale that makes no attempt to hide his displeasure. ❝ there you are. you certainly kept me waiting. did you bring everything? ❞

“You’re beautiful.”

In the dressing room twirled a girl in twin braids, wearing a casual summer dress that was easy to move around in. She was examining her outfit from every angle, attempting to view herself from an outsider point of view. Her friend, the seamster, was studying the outfit for mistakes, using a critical eye that has been trained in the art for years. It was natural for the two of them to work together like this, so natural they could speak their opinions freely.“You’re beautiful.” Forrest said bluntly.Nina flushed in embarrassment, stumbling slightly after being caught off guard. “B-beautiful’s laying it on thick don’t you think? Sure the outfit’s gorgeous, but that’s all on you!”

🌷! (they're beautiful, just like you)

send 🌷 for my muse to receive flowers from yours!

This is unexpected.

Twelve perfect pansies of all colors, tied up in a neat white ribbon. A vase much more expensive than the ones the florists were selling their flowers in. A little note, in sweet curling handwriting, “they’re beautiful, just like you!”

A signature. “Forrest,” preceded by a cute little heart.

“He’s flirting with you, you know,” Cynthia’s cackling barely registers in Morgan’s mind. He’s too focused on the fact that someone he barely knows left him flowers—certainly too focused to notice the bright red blush burning his cheeks.

It's really hard to do this and I'm sorry to everyone who was enjoying Forrest, but as it stands my writing has definitely taken a small spiral downward and I'm finding it difficult to keep my attention hard enough to write in paragraphs. I think I want to try and start my attempt at moving forward by dropping Forrest, but knowing how many threads and plots I'm dropping hurts and I'm sorry if this makes anyone upset with me, but I think this is the best way for me to continue in TOA.

Forrest has been dropped and is now available!
