No.

Frankly it looks like it will be one big headache to sort out. Oh, and now you're asking for suggestions? Well don't look at me; you know you won't like anything I have to say. Of course I'm going to say that you shouldn't even bother.

...not that I expect you to listen.

[Have a freshly-made Ike. Mun probably has no idea what they are doing.]

Is someone giving you a hard time, Soren?

[just_a_delusion]

[It's okay, they rarely do.]

Not any more than usual.

[greataether]

[help]

[Ike supposes "Well, that's good" isn't exactly the right thing to say to that, even taking into consideration the person saying it.]

About what? Uh, if you don't mind me asking.

[He doesn't want to pry, yet he does. Soren, you little ball of secrets you.]

[just_a_delusion]

[you got yourself into this

No Ike, you're not supposed to ask. You're supposed to nod and then be done with the conversation, hasn't he gotten you trained yet?]

..... It really isn't anything to worry about. Mainly having a restless mun feeling nostalgic and wanting to send me off somewhere for entertainment.

[greataether]

[wehhhh]

[But he can't... not care... Soren!]

Huh. You and I seem to be in the same boat with our situations. Well, not sure about me getting sent anywhere. Just... yeah.

[Damn nostalgia.]

I'm sure you can handle anything, but hopefully you don't get any place too crazy.

[just_a_delusion]

[Sigh- This is why he's stuck with you in the first place, Ike. ]

No? Perhaps you should consider yourself lucky.

[No, he's not disappointed to hear that, honest...! ...quit looking at him.]

Heh. Articulate as ever.

Any place can be crazy at any give time,Ike.

[greataether]

[Then clearly, it's reason to keep caring.]

Eh... I guess. But it can get a little dull just sitting around.

[Hohoho... the possibility is still there, though... mun's been meaning to get back into RP for the longest time. Currently rusty as hell, though.]

[Ike crosses his arms- partly to look jokingly annoyed, as well as restraining himself from ruffling Soren's hair BECAUSE HE IS SO ASKING FOR IT.]

And well, we can't all have big brains like you. Geez.

[just_a_delusion]

[It's just like riding one of them bike thingys- it'll come back to you!]

Well, I suppose that can be true. Still, it's no reason to want to get thrown into some outrageous circumstances.

[oh you wouldn't dare, Ike. ]

I suppose that's why you keep me around.

[greataether]

[puts on knee and elbowpads]

Well, it's not like it can be that bad... right?

[Right?]

[He's a daring sort of fellow, so feel free to try your luck, Soren. (Though Ike's Res is too low for taking those kinds of chances.)]

Without you, I would have... probably done something fatally stupid by now.

[just_a_delusion]

[don't forget your helmet!]

Don't say such things. People might think of it as a challenge.

[He folds his arms, shrugging.]

Probably.

[greataether]

[Ah yes all nicely geared up for a venture back into RP! It's going to be a bumpy ride]

[Ike can't help a little chuckle at Soren's typical bluntness. He elbows Soren in the arm- lightly, because he doesn't want to push the little guy over.]

You didn't have to agree with me, you know!

[just_a_delusion]

[Woo hoo! :D]

[Ugh, physical contact. Light as it is, Soren still takes a step to the side to counterbalance.]

But why disagree if it was the truth? Knowing as how you leap headlong into things...

[greataether]

[It will also require much disinfectant and many bandages.]

[This all only means Soren's impending hair ruffle is going to be all the more sweeter. Ike is rarely one for getting all touchy-feely himself, but sometimes....]

Ha! I guess I kinda do. And I'm glad I have you to tell me when I'm being dumb.

[If Soren says anything along the lines of "which is often", he's so gonna get it.]

[just_a_delusion]

[.... *grabs the first aid kit*]

[Drat.]

Please, you depend too much on me. I'd hope you would learn to think for yourself. It makes me wonder how you survived when I was off studying.

[greataether]

[Don't consider yourself safe yet, Soren.]

Hey! I think for myself plenty. You're just smarter! And we only got some stupid bandits around base. I'd like to believe I'm smarter than them, at least.

[Geez, Mr. Edjamacated City Boy.]

Besides... I tried reading some of those books, even. How do you manage it all day? I get headaches just thinking about it...

[Books are long and hard not in the good way hoHOhoho and generally not his focus.]

[just_a_delusion]

Keep thinking like that and you'll never get anywhere, Ike. [Sigh.]

Well, if it's just books, then perhaps you'd be better off trying to start off with something that might appeal to your interests.

[greataether]

[He shrugs.]

Hmm... "getting anywhere" doesn't really matter to me, as long as I have the strength to protect the people I care about and rely on.

[You know, all that hero stuff. Although, this conversation does remind him about just how worrisome the prospect of ending up in a strange place without anyone he knows he can trust... Ike doesn't really worry about the future, though, no matter the possibilities. He just thinks abouticrossing that bridge when he comes to it. So it doesn't actually trouble him right now. Well, not too much.]

Since you're so fond of reading, why don't you read me something?

[Missing the point a little? Maybe.]

[just_a_delusion]

That's more my point. I'm just concerned that your not thinking will end up with you stretching yourself too thin trying to protect everyone.

[ . . . ]

...no, that's not quite what I meant.

[greataether]

If that's what you mean, you reading to me would be easier on me.

[H-he can't help it if he's better with muscle memory instead of... uh... brain memory.]

All right, all right... you're right. As usual. Really, how does someone get as smart as you?

[just_a_delusion]

...I think I'm getting a headache.

[He sighs again, shaking his head.]

How, you ask? It's mostly practicality. You don't need to be smart to learn from experience.

[greataether]

Heh. Sorry about that.

[Mun also is unsure what canon point to play Ike right now at but we can work this.]

[Ike nods in agreement, that sounds true enough, hum.]

I guess you have more of that than me, too.

[Just... he always did get the sense that Soren had much more experience in life than him, despite them both being around the same age. Truthfully, it was a bit intimidating to think about.]

ooc: heh. personally, I am looking at Rekindle or Asgard, so far. 83

[bestmothercat]

[Have your ~*favorite*~ laguz giving you a Cheshire cat grin]

Well, well well. If it isn't Commander Ike's stingy, little strategist.

OOC: Heheh. ;) I was looking into Destiny Strings but I'm not much of a Persona fan xD

[just_a_delusion]

.....

Oh, it's you.

I must wonder what you're up to now. You're never about for idle cause.

[bestmothercat]

Now, Now. No need to sound so excited there. I'm glad to see you too. [rather than be offended, Ranulf's just gonna poke his tail at you a bit while he grins some more.]

Usually, when you're around, Ike is not too far. But I guess my hunches are wrong, this time around.

Not that I mind your company, however~.

[just_a_delusion]

[Just going to ignore that tail, because grabbing at it would take effort.]

We're not joined at the hip, you know.

[He arches a brow.]

Huh, that's news to me.
