#support: gerome

[laslow]

The room is full of unfamiliar faces but there is one that Gerome recognized in a heartbeat: Inigo. He found his way over to his old friend, grateful to at least know one person among this mess. "I didn't expect to find you here, much less on the same team as myself. I don't suppose you know anything about this event?"

There's a handful of familiar faces this time around, which sets his ever-anxious heart at ease.

"Gerome! I've missed you, old friend. How's Minerva?" Laslow lowers his arms from their overhead stretch, resting one hand atop his hip. "Nah, we're never told much about this little excursions."

Expression turns somber. Half-forgotten memories of fallen allies and rain-soaked battlefields flood his thoughts. He claps a hand on Gerome's shoulder. "Be on your guard, alright? Some trouble or another inevitably arises. Nothing two old pals can't handle." Lips quirk up into a quick smile.

"In the meantime, I'd love to hear how you've been settling in at Garreg Mach!"

[laslow]

Wow. Gerome, talking to him? Must be his lucky day!

"Aw, is that any way to talk to an old friend? We haven't seen each other in ages and you're bringing up water under the bridge?" Laslow sighs, shaking his head in faux offense. Honestly, as if he'd ask Gerome to be a wingman again. One disastrous outing was quite enough, thank you.

Attention shifts briefly to the box. Frivolous. Yeah, he sure is. But what's wrong with that, really? He's not shirking duties this time, merely spending every saved coin on an outfit for a ball that only comes once a year. "Psh, there is nothing frivolous about this! Next month, the Academy is hosting a ball. I can't go around in anything less than my best, no? Just imagine what the ladies would say if I showed up in rags!"

Still, he hides the box behind his back. Out of sight, out of mind, "You're free of wingman duties, by the way. Wouldn't want your mask to break again!"

That was quite the successful shopping trip, if he says so himself. Nothing wrong with treating himself every so often! There is a ball coming up, after all, and how can he impress the ladies if he's sloppily dressed?

Laslow adjusts the box held in the crook of his arm, careful not to crush it. Fancy clothes are not cheap! (Nor are the new pair of dancing slippers he'd carefully hidden away in the box as well, though that's between him and the shopkeeper.)

Concerned as he is with keeping his purchases safe, he almost misses a familiar face. Well, half a face. Laslow tilts his head, a smile breaking across his features. "If it isn't the Pale Rider himself! Thought you could go into town without your old pal La--Inigo, huh?"

He sidesteps a passing mother and child, coming to a halt before his old friend. Coincidence or fate, he's merely ecstatic yet another member of their odd little family has found their way to Fódlan's shores. "Seriously, how've you been, Gerome?"

Gerome froze inwardly, the widening of his eyes hidden behind his mask, but his mouth remained set in its typical fashion. It seemed the academy was full of more familiar faces than he bargained for. Yet, he was not surprised that his chance encounter with Inigo should be when he's returning from shopping. Some things didn't change and there was a kind of comfort in that.

Rather than ignoring him this time, Gerome inclined his head in greeting. "You look the same as ever." He could take that as a compliment or not, Gerome didn't care.

Instead of answering how he'd been — because, honestly, it wasn't a topic he was interested in sharing — he deflected. "I will not be going anywhere with you. I'd rather not have the headache of being your 'wingman' again. Besides, haven't you whiled away enough of your hours with such frivolous activities?" He gestured toward Inigo's purchases.

[sieglinde-freud]

oh im obsessed with this actually… who ever wrote this one i am kissing u on the forehead and hugging you real tight… inigo is such a loverboy im kkkhhhhhhijnsdnfng

[seviiseal]

Gerome’s whole thing is wanting to set Minerva free in the past, but like….part of me thinks that she wouldn’t leave him? Like the way they characterize her it just seems clear to me she thinks of him as family! Also I’m really not convinced Gerome would be able to leave her that easily either,,,

[taguelbunnyboy]

"I actually have seen her, yeah! We did a... weird pillow fight thing with some of our classmates!"

That was a fun way to get back in with one of his friends, really. He missed them.

More than he thought he did.

"You should ask her about it. She probably would have way more stories about it, since, well, she was in charge for our team..."

With a soft sigh, Yarne leans against a pillar, trying to bring eye contact level. He hated being taller than his allies at times.

Sure, it let him spot out enemies in dense forest or rolling hills better than anyone else on foot, and it made him more intimidating against foes, drawing their ire away from his teammates...

But it made him outsize them. Made him seem bigger than them. And even if he was physically... they were arguably more important to the cause than he ever was.

"But... I guess I've just missed you. All of you."

He knew some of his friends had gone out on adventures of their own after the war. He knew some had set out on their own, and that others had stayed with family.

He had been the latter, just him and Panne, holding down the fort, trying to keep the Taguel strong and alive together.

Until she sent him out here. For both of their sakes, really.

Hand clutches at his beaststone, peeking out of his coat pocket. A sign that he was still taguel. That he was the last of his kind, even if this timeline still held his mother.

"Seen anyone else around? I've been trying to make the rounds with them, but I wouldn't be surprised if I missed one or two..."

"I see... I am glad of that." It rests his heart easy that they are not alone. Even if they are not truly surrounded by laguz of their own kind - Kurthnaga cannot gauge if that is the case or not from Gerome's word - they should not have to live their lives in lonely solitude for the rest of them.

"No, I suppose there is no reason. Just small talk, in the end." He smiles, bowing his head in both apology and goodbye, "If you find it meaningless then I will not keep you any further." He guides Green Bean towards his stable, before turning on his heel to leave with one last smile towards Gerome.

"I would be more than happy to talk again at later date. Please come find me if you wish to."

"I mean... come on, right?" She smiles sheepishly. "He's the love of my life. I know this, cause I've always loved him. I loved him when I met him, and I can't stop loving him. There's no one else in this whole universe I want other than him. I want him by my side forever. But, this is all super obvious stuff."

[laslow]

"So you've arrived." Gerome's relief only shows in his tone. His friend looks alright, but he has to ask, "Are you hurt?"

"So I have!" Laslow returns happily, tossing an arm around Gerome's shoulders. (A move he only risks because Minerva is not without biting range.)

"Moi? Just my pride, is all," he says, casting a critical eye over his friend. "And you? No hidden injuries beneath all that black? Although," and he holds up one finger, "the ladies do love a man with battle scars!"

"Yes, though I have learned that it seems to be a notion unique to my home of Tellius. Fascinating, is it not? The way everyone's homeland has a different culture!" Kurthnaga claps his hands together excitedly with a smile, laughing happily all the while. Perhaps he shouldn't laugh, but learning of other cultures was far too exciting! And he was more than happy to!

"Long ears... rabbit..." Kurthnaga pauses in thought. The thought is horrifying though. A rabbit would most likely be one of the beast tribes and... all of the other beast tribes were... common predators of rabbits. Not to mention the hawks and ravens... Eeek! If there had ever been rabbit laguz in Tellius... no! What a terrible thought! "I'm afraid not. At least not in Tellius currently. If there ever was. I'm sorry, that I am not able to help your friend find others of his own. But all of us laguz... we are kin in a way, are we not? Perhaps there would be comfort in that idea for him. Just a suggestion though."

Kurthnaga bows his head with a smile as Gerome bids him a farewell, "And thank you for yours as well. Please do not be a stranger in the future; okay?"

Please, I need everyone to know. Gerome was part of the Justice cabal when they were children! He also used to be afraid of heights! It's in his support with Cynthia! You need to go read it now!
