[IC] Swords Beneath the Starlight

Barnabas

Lain nods, her smile bright and genuine.


"Just promise to remember that friendship goes both ways. If you face any difficulties going forward, you can rely on me as well! Thank you, Barnabas - I genuinely appreciate it. Now, shall we turn our focus to lighter conversation?"

Mazelina

Lys's eyes go wide. You freeze her in the midst of her panic, and your gentle words eventually start to strike true. After a moment, she offers a shaky smile and nods.



"...Yes. Okay. Bread. I can do that."

And so you two begin chanting. Your prayers echo through the hall, the acoustics of the avian architecture creating a pleasant effect as sound bounces through the hall. Once you've finished, her face warms, her smile growing across her face once more.

"...Thank you. That was... very nice! And it was a very different way of praying than the priestesses offered. So... thank you." She nods, trying to sequester her grin.

Saya


"Ah! How about the Knights of the Radiant Dawn? Or! Mayhaps the Blazing Blades? We'll find something, I swear it!"

And so he joins you, accompanying you for some sparring and exploration. Your kinship grows evermore!

Sunny

Your flustered response seems to catch him by surprise! He chuckles nervously, rubbing the back of his neck.



"Hah! You think you're surprised? I'm shocked to think I'd befriend a priestess of the Dark God, even as it happens. But it's a decision I'm confident in."

He pauses and thinks to himself before clearing his throat.


"Thank you, Sunny, for being my friend. They're... a rare thing to come by, in times like these; rarer still for a prince. So... thank you."
