HALL OF ORIGIN. The Hall of Origin isn't without its accommodations - after all, humans do live here from time to time, with at least one of them a permanent resident, and even with Arceus' release it doesn't see fit to just make the place into the glass-paned OSHA violation that it normally seems to be. The building itself contains more or less anything you would need after an encounter like this one, whether you want to sleep or locate something to eat, or simply exist around the others for a while; the large hall you first entered into is likely the best for the latter, and you're welcome to gather there for as long as you need. ...Any food is going to be vegan as hell, however, because no one is sure what else you expected. Cyrus and all three Commanders are present for the time being, and amenable to being approached; granted, Cyrus is going to remain outside with Arceus like the asocial individual that he is. Meanwhile, Saturn and Mars in particular seem...it's difficult to say whether they seem "better" or not, but they don't seem acted upon by the Red Chain's influence anymore. (Which is likely a good thing, whether they consider it to be such or not.) There are plans to be made, of course, and things to be done; for now, however, feel free to enjoy the present moment. It's been well-earned. |

[THIS FEELS SO FUCKING SILLY TO SAY, BUT THERE'S A MIXTURE OF EMBARRASSMENT AND PRIDE IN HER TONE???]
Don't go telling anyone else--and please, don't rib him about it, but Jake's been such a wonderful individual...I've always kind of kept a look out for him, and he's had a hard enough time with family in his life. We've been looking after one another for such a long time now, and it's taken so much for him to open up and trust besides. I truly don't want to leave him by himself, and render all of that moot.
[she is such a doting big sis]
...His work is very important, and I'm likely to be joining him in such a thing. But I assure you, with certainty--you will see me again. Perhaps both of us, if I can convince him on a field trip.
no subject
[gods bless you, camilla.]
...I won't take it personally. I've Gladio and Prompto to look after me as it is; I think Jake could use your help. I'm glad you'll be there to keep an eye on him.
[He laughed quietly, smiling.]
But I do hope you find your way to Lucis before long--I assure you I'll not be hard to seek out. Just about all those that are left will know who I am and where to find me.
no subject
[Camilla's tone is warm when she says that, but it warms further when she speaks up again.]
...Thank you. I've always been so happy to offer it; he has always been such a strong individual in his own right, but he's always had to battle his demons alone. I want to ensure that he has someone who supports and loves him, and is ready to help him should he ever falter. I really am so very proud of how far he's come, and how he'll continue in the future.
[He can practically sense the sheer amount of beaming that she is doing, probably, holy shit.]
Oh, don't you worry about that. You imply that I'll ever miss a chance to join you in Lucis--I would very much like to go on a hunt with you and perhaps show my true combat prowess alongside you all. It'll be most fun.
no subject
[oh no that's adorable.]
...You're a good sister, Camilla. I hope you don't ever doubt that, and I hope Jake knows how fortunate he is. There are far worse fates in the world than to be stuck with you going forward.
[forever]
I can scarcely wait. It's been too long since I held actual daggers, and I've a fair bit of practice to do in getting accustomed to not having magic. I do hope I can keep up
no subject
...That's so very kind of you to say; thank you.
[Heehee~]
Oh, I'm sure you will. I still have much to learn, unless I'm to try taming one of those dragons that your home has access to...
[...]
...Or perhaps I could convince Arion to let me ride him into battle, if he's so inclined. [That might be a touch unfair???] I will have to get a new axe, and perhaps even some experience in whatever the magic is in your world--if you're so inclined, would you be willing to teach me some, when I visit?
no subject
[The smile slipped just a little, but Ignis' tone was still light.]
...We don't exactly have magic anymore, I'm afraid--bit of a complex situation. But...well, we'll manage. There's most assuredly no shortage of weaponry, so finding a suitable axe will be no trouble at all.
no subject
[...That sounds like a bad subject, and y'know what, we don't need bad vibes in this house, so she is more than content to pole vault over it if Ignis is!]
I do look forward to seeing what sort of beautiful axes your world has been able to produce. I'll certainly be able to take down anything that tries to harm you boys in a heartbeat once I get my hands on one!
no subject
[IT'S FINE]
I should warn you Gladio has a terrible habit for flirting with attractive women. His heart's in the right place, but he can be...a bit of an idiot. Should that happen, you've absolute freedom to knock him flat on his back, because I would find that hilarious.
[#friends]
You already fight like him as it is, so I imagine that'll be quite the unexpected surprise.
no subject
Well, I'll be certain to consider that an order, then. Oh, that poor boy...
[She figures once will be enough, and it'll be amusing when it happens~]
I look forward to seeing how he reacts to that. It's bound to be something I won't forget. [...] And I will be certain to describe the look on his face in detail for you.
no subject
No idea how I'm going to explain any of this to anyone, but once I figure that out things should settle a bit.
