[Video | Action for Violet City]

--again, Praetor! That is not enough ice.

[ The feed snaps on and swivels just a bit awkwardly, as though the recorder is trying to fit the Gear in its claws before it rights itself. Then the Gear turns and shows one scantily clad Empeor with her back turned, unaware of her Pokemon's scheme for video shenanigans. Standing large, proud, but head bending low to the ground, is Saber's Gyarados Praetor and there appears to be... large chunks of ice collecting before the short blonde.

To those wondering, the answer is quickly shown as Praetor's fangs freeze over with ice before she snaps her jaws several times to have the ice fall to the collection. It seems Saber has been at this for some time as there's quite a collection and a bag in her hand before she nods in approval and begins scooping up the ice in her bag. Remember, folks! She has to bend a bit to do this. ]


Very good, Praetor. This will last me for... hmm, a few minutes. Do not worry, I will treat you for this kindness later on-- [ As she talks, it sounds as though her throat caught up on something, sounding hoarse before she has a brief coughing fit, bursts of flame accompanying the sounds. She makes a frustrated noise, and the Pokemon holding the Gear briefly shakes with an amused chuckle before a delivery bird cries and flies its appearance into the scene.

Once she's recovered, Saber arches a brow while straightening herself and turns to face the Pidgeot. In the bird's talons is a rather... large bouquet of roses. As she takes the bouquet, Saber giggles. ]


Honestly, I must commend this secret admirer of mine: even through these diseases, they find time to send such love my way! Still... [ She takes a moment to give those roses a good whiff, then shake her head. ] Woe is my power, for I cannot hold these for long lest they turn into ash within my hands! Machina!

[ A Metagross lumbers onto the scene and Saber turns to place the bouquet right on top of his metal head with an amused laugh. To its credit, the Metagross doesn't look the slightest perturbed and awaits further orders. ] Place this with the others. I have a matter in which I must address to my audience.

[ The Pokemon holding the Gear jerks in surprise to that revelation. How did she know?! The Metagross goes to do as it's asked as Saber gives a stern look to the camera (and her mischievous Pokemon). ]

Truly, Aestus, if you wished to play around with the Gear, you should have told me! No matter, this will be brief, and I shall place a proper punishment on you later. [ She clears her throat, and small pillars of steam leave the corner of her lips as she does so. ]

Lately, it has come to my attention that there are those of us who are warriors, artisans of the battlefield back in our worlds. Though this realm places an odd restriction on carrying such, the authorities do not mind the crafting of wooden, practice ones. And I do believe with current events, having these extensions of our arms would be quite useful to have. That said, I, Saber, will be starting up a business of crafting these tools for others.

Do look forward for future updates on my progress.

[ Then she gives a very imperial wave and the feed quickly shuts. ]

[Well, that doesn't seem like a bad reaction, so he relaxes a bit. However it does take him a while to figure out how to answer that]

Um...sort of? I mean, you are my friend. Your smile's different though.

[Hard for him to articulate it, more than anything. He at least knows his thoughts on that matter, though it's only Riku's teasing that got him to think more aobut it]

It...hm.

[He takes a few moments to sort out how to put it to words. Getting to see her smile just has this way of warming him over. Ven loves seeing the people he cares about happy, but there's something distinctive about Nero smiling]

It's like dawnlight.

[The warmth it causes, and how pleasant it is reall does remind him of those first golden rays peeking over the horizon]

[Ven can't help being first puzzled and then concerned by her reaction. He's flustered Nero before, sure, but he doesn't think she's ever really reacted like this. And that does worry him, since as far as he can tell she thinks he had some kind of ill intent.

Although what is bad about liking someone's smile escapes him entirely...]


I um... [Am so confused Nero] I wasn't trying to hurt you just now.

But isn't honesty the best policy?

[He's not sure what he did wrong, favorite Emperor]

I don't really understand what's wrong.

[Well, he does, but he's more concerned about her right now]

[His bro sure had ideas, though he's still trying to wrap his mind around it. Those sorts of things a person's just supposed to know, right?

And maybe bust into a musical number for? He was pretty sure that's how people ought to make these things obvious where he comes from]


I didn't mean to upset you with it.

Things are different here from how they are back home. It's not something I understand very well.

[Does this help, Nero? His reality doesn't work the way things do for the rest of the universe - any non-evil entity isn't guaranteed an 80% chance of reciprocated feelings]

Did the bulb in that streetlight nearby explode? Why yes, yes it did]

I...I guess I should figure out how to replace that...

[Such a very awkward and embarrassed keyblade apprentice. But he doesn't know what to do, there's no heroic rescues or dragons to slay here. That's how a guy properly romances a girl, right?

Not that Nero would likely need rescuing or help slaying a dragon, but still]

[That snaps his attention from the broken light back to Nero, small sparks crackling around his cheeks]

It's not that, I- [It's more that he doesn't even know what to do, things don't work like this back home. Not only that, he really has no idea what kind of response to expect] I'm really new at these things, so I'm not really sure what to do.

[He is nervous, particularly given how uncertain he is, but he can't really be cowardly about it either]

[It may be that Ventus is very lucky his cheeks can't really get redder in his current state, but the way his face warms up he almost feels like it must be. Perhaps it's Nero's powers, but he really doesn't think so.

Besides, if the pop of another lightbulb in the vicinity isn't enough of a statement, Ven wouldn't know what is]


A-alright...

[It's about all that he can come up with at first, more than a little dumbfounded. First Nero figured him out, and now she's...well, she's okay with it at least]

So then, you um. [He wasn't ever the most eloquent, aside choice snappy retorts battling Vanitas. It's difficult for him to figure out how to put it, quite obviously fumbling.

In the end he can't decide how to say it. Nero responded to his feelings positively, at least he knows that. Still, he can't help but ask]
It's okay with you?

[action]

[personal profile] ex_aeroga402 2012-07-31 04:14 am (UTC)(link)
I- [Am really and truly stunned, but he can't help smiling all the same. It's a happy confusion] Of course I do!
