Okay, so you're still not sure what you want to do with me outside of shippy threads between me and Soren. Or crack threads between me and whoever replies. That's fine, I guess. At least this is more like how it was meant to be for my mercenary career, before the war started.

But are you sure you want to set a canon point for me just yet? You still have to play Radiant Dawn and after that you could end up changing your mind.

[windsage]

They should try to be a little more prepared, if they really intend to do any of that.

[And should he really ask...]

Shippy threads?

[inhisfootsteps]

I know, but my mun is said to be an impulsive one.

Er...romantic threads. [scratches the back of his neck] You know the kind. [Between you and him, Soren.]

[windsage]

It seems like that's all too common.

[...oh.]

I... guess I do know the kind. Well, it could be worse.

[inhisfootsteps]

Guess that's kind of a thing with this hobby.

Yeah! I mean, sure, romance is the last thing I'm after right now, I've got stuff to do. But compared to the stuff a lot of muns do to their muses I'm getting off pretty easy. For now, anyway.

[windsage]

You have far more important things to worry about than romance, Ike. Though I suppose considering the possible alternatives, that might be the best one.

I... have to admit I'm... surprised to find you so accepting of the idea.

[inhisfootsteps]

Well...I'd be lying if I said I'd rather my mun didn't go for that, you know how bad I am with girls! But like I said, she could be doing worse. Like...you know, obsessing over that business with Mom and Dad and my memories from Radiant Dawn. Guess I should be glad she hasn't played that one yet!

[windsage]

I didn't mean with girls, I meant - ah...

[Awkward... time to change the subject.]

Yes, that would be pretty distracting, I would think. My mun doesn't like canon reviewing Radiant Dawn either. Apparently it's 'too long and difficult'. You would think anyone wishing to play me would have better excuses than that.

[inhisfootsteps]

Then what did you- oh. [Right, the slash side of things. Whatever that means. Yes, subject change is probably a good thing right now!]

Ah, the difficulty level. My mun fears it. Strange considering she played Path of Radiance on Normal just to avoid a million tutorials, but hopefully if she ever does pick up Radiant Dawn she'll have learned her lesson.

Eh, as long as my mun's played at least the first game I'm not too worried. Actually, I think I'll be better off that way.

[windsage]

[He wants to ask, but... he also doesn't, and not asking seems a lot easier right now.]

You might be. Personally, I don't understand how these muns expect to get anywhere in life if they're incapable of the most basic strategy, but if she might get you killed it's better she stays away.

given that he was the #1 MVP in my game...

[inhisfootsteps]

In my mun's case she was spoiled by playing the earlier games on an emulator. In other words, save state abuse. But I think mine might be learning...or if nothing else, she's good about resetting the chapters so no one stays dead.

Ah, Soren, it's nice of you to worry about me, but I'm not so easy to kill.

haha, mine too, Ike is always the most badass

[windsage]

Good. As much as that seems almost like cheating, it's better than losing soldiers.

And even if you're not easy to kill, that doesn't mean it's impossible. Don't go running into danger.

[inhisfootsteps]

My mun's always been a completist.

[Well, there WAS that time against Naesala, but...] Mm. Don't worry, I'd never get myself killed. What would Mist do without me?

[windsage]

Mine as well.

[Mist, sure, but...] What would any of us do without you?

[inhisfootsteps]

[smile] You sure know how to make a person feel needed, Soren.

[windsage]

You should know by now that you're vital to all of our movements and decisions.

...and I wouldn't want to lose you, Ike.

[inhisfootsteps]

I...I know.

And I wouldn't want to lose you, either. [pause] I-I mean, any of you.

[windsage]

We'll all fight to keep ourselves safe, as well as accomplish our objectives.

Anyway, I have no intention of leaving you on your own. Who knows what sort of foolish things you might do.

[inhisfootsteps]

H-hey, come on now, I'm not that reckless! [Really, the only stupid thing he ever did was...well, let's try not to think about that dark moment] But...thank you, Soren. I feel more confident knowing you're nearby.

[windsage]

You've gotten better, that's for sure. [But really, in Soren's mind everyone is reckless and bad at planning.] But I'll... stay with you for as long as you need me.

[inhisfootsteps]

...I know you will. [smile]

[windsage]

Good. [That might be the slightest hint of a smile on him, too.]

[inhisfootsteps]

Um, so! Does your mun have any plans for you aside from what you mentioned before?

[windsage]

She can't seem to make up her mind. She keeps saying she's going to put me somewhere, but never actually goes through with it.

[Sigh.]

It's for the best, I guess.

SORRY THIS IS LATE, I'm settling into a new computer

[inhisfootsteps]

From what I've heard, some of these games can be pretty dangerous. Mine has that little red-haired boy from Magvel in the place with the wings, and...well, he's been safe so far, but he worries a lot about his teacher.

it's okay! o/

[windsage]

I can't blame him. Mine has... killed others she plays before, and I don't particularly want to share that fate. And far too many of those games are unpleasant.

If it's just wings, though, I can't imagine it could be that awful.
