"It wouldn't, especially now that . . ." Shez trails off, the rest of her sentence left unsaid. Yet her mind drifts to the gnawing silence that's festered ever since Arval . . . "Company's great to have. People need people, right?"

Me neither.. I’ve always had that same mindset, too! Though, some company to share said food and shelter with wouldn’t hurt, would it..?

"At the end of the day, long as I've got something to eat and a nice place to rest, I'd say I'm doing pret~ty well for myself!"

English

"No, I guess we can't." There's a roll of her shoulders. She notices the tinge of color to Ignatz's face, but of course, she's not about to say anything, let alone tease. "Not that I'm looking to." She then adds, "High or low born, doesn't matter much to me." ->

“I know so, Shez.” He wasn’t even trying to hide the tinge of pink on his cheeks now. “We can’t forget who we are, Shez. At the end of the day, we’re just a couple of commoners walking among the elite. No amount of fancy foods and uniforms will change that..”

English

Look at us. Common backgrounds, trying to be all humble all the while.

English

You really think so, huh . . . ( Much as she wants to deny it, she can't. Especially if it's Ignatz saying it. The guy's so well-meaning, not to mention, he knows a thing or three on, er, appearances? Aesthetics. That's the word. ) ->

That’s not true! Your long, flowing purple hair just stands out in a good way! You’re beautiful, Shez, truly! I hate to see you sell yourself short, especially when you compare yourself to someone like me..

English

( She stifles a chuckle, smiling to Ignatz. ) No, I mean it, really. I could see you blending in all nice-like. At least, compared to me, who looks like she came scrambling out the bushes.

No, now you’re just being nice.. /A faint blush appeared on his cheeks, trying to cover them up with his hands./

English

Really ? I'd have said it looked better on you than it did me. But, thanks for that Ignatz.

Heh, perhaps it is.. Though, I can’t say I hated wearing it.. I thought you looked really nice in it, too!

Yeah, it does. Not sure how much I really like it, if I'm honest . . . Wonder if that's what nobles feel like all the time ..? All prim 'n proper-like.

It weighed heavy, didn’t it? It almost makes you forget where you came from.

( 🥱 ) Gotta say, my power’s pretty useful for getting up to a nice li’l perch. Though I bet someone’s wondering where I got off to.

You're gonna make me your personal chef at this rate, you know. ( She's not, already ..? ) I'm playing. I'll happily make you something, any requests Lysithea ?

YEAH, YOU DID. ... If you make me food I'll forgive you.

English

( /// 👄 👁️ ) Y'know, I earned that, actually.

.... Next time we enter battle I'll make sure one of my spells "accidentally" hits you.

English

Yeah ? I /do/ seem to get you all worked up. Hopping, even. ( She's flashing her teeth, oh she thinks herself soooooo cheeky. )

I... I hate you, I hate you so much. Well I don't but aaauaghhhh. You make me mad sometimes.

English

Sounds like there was more to that, but . . . ( She won't press. Only tease about it a little bit. ) Like you said, end of discussion. ( 😄 )

You're pretty and I lov- *ahem* You're just pretty, end of discussion.

English

"Wish I could sit here and say it's some dramatic tale to spill, but . . . Honestly ? It's pretty cut-and-dry, at least to me." It's such a flippant way of referring to one's apparent being thrown out. Perhaps Shez thinks herself having come to terms with it long ago?

English

One of Shez's hands reaching, accepting that hand he is kind enough to extend. "Hah, I bet. You've always been a pretty genuine guy, least from what I've seen. Makes you easier to talk to, y'know that?" That, and their kinship found in being similarly of common backgrounds. ->

English

There's a bit of a nervous laughter that crawls out of Shez. Not unlike the way she occasionally threw herself into battle, almost feels like she'd gotten ahead of herself here too. There was empathy between them, even more, Ignatz tries to comfort her for her hesitations. ->

“Oh?” He sounded surprised, his head quickly snapping back towards her. He was content suffering in silence, but when it was his friends who were suffering, it was impossible for him to stay silent. They were similar in that regard. While he could go home, he didn’t want to.-

Pretty ? Me ? I don't know about that. ( She briefly looks away, getting a flicker shy herself now. ) But, um. It's coming from you so. Can't really, y'know, argue it.
