ask edelgard to agree not to invade crimea and loyalty is a five actually.

all of elincia's students get ten's across the board but she totally agrees with dorothea about caspar having massive little brother energy. she can't help but find he brightens every room he's in, that his energy is infectious and he deserves nothing but praise and other delightful things. he's also so enthusiastic it makes him a pleasure to teach.

she does draw a line - as much as she's always wanted a younger sibling, she's his teacher. but she finds it easy and natural to have a ready supply of praise, encouragement, pep talk and treats for the students anyway.

elincia also trusts him implicitly - caspar seems like someone who, in her mind, would both be uncomfortable lying and probably accidentally spill the beans anyway. she also has no reason to suspect him of doing anything worse than just forgetting to do his homework which just isn't worth getting upset over.

he's a good egg! secretly one of her favourite students, loves his enthusiasm and zest for life (but she doesn't play favourites! that would be terribly unfair!)

zero attraction but full marks for being absolutely adorable! rolf is an absolute sweetheart. elincia would absolutely adore him but probably have a heart attack if he called her auntie honestly. given the chance though she'd happily dote on him. 10/10, perfect little guy, no notes at all.

elincia's strongly inclined to trust and be loyal to almost all of the greil mercenaries by default. he's also cute - her attraction is almost entirely platonic, but i'll be honest if he asked she'd probably be willing to humour him with a date, aware there's very little if anything romantic there but he is funny and deserves nice things.

i rated affection high bc i think gatrie is the kind of person that would put her at ease, though again it's predominantly platonic affection! oh but she'd definitely be willing to help him in matters of the heart.

...listen, she thinks he's kind of cute okay? If you asked her she'd definitely blush up a storm. Charming, sweet, with really kind eyes. Also a pro at sandcastle building. She'd love to get to know Forde better, honestly.

soren is fascinating and honestly? someone she'd trust to be completely honest, even if the truth is uncomfortable. when it comes to affection, elincia genuinely tries to hold back because she's pretty sure it wouldn't go down well. though she can't help speak her truth which is generally pretty positive and affirming most of the time.

again, attraction is low not in a "unattractive, uninterested way" but it's never really occurred to her either? it's a bit higher in that she doesn't hold soren on the same unreachable pedestal she puts ike on. he's an attractive guy. would totally hype him up as a wingwoman! affection is kind of rounded up. elincia's very aware that soren would probably respond terribly to a hug lmao, though she thinks very highly of him and will, if prompted, cheerfully express this!

loyalty is high - she'd never think to betray any of the greil mercenaries, honestly. that said her personal loyalty is more to ike than soren himself and her ultimate loyalty is to crimea.

♡ miss Elincia? 🥺

anything for you buddy!

●○○○○ | ATTRACTION  ●●●○○ | AFFECTION  ●●●●● | INTEREST  ●●●●● | LOYALTY  ●●●●● | TRUST now if you asked elincia how attractive ike is, she'd be surprised by the question but probably give a 4 or a 5? he's objectively good looking, loyal, reliable, strong -- she could go on. honestly whilst she longs to consider him a friend she's also maybe a little blinded by hero worship. but she's never actually thought about him in that kind of way. she owes him more than just her life - he's basically responsible for opening her world. when it comes to loyalty and trust, there's genuinely no one she'd trust more.

affection is a difficult one - i feel that elincia is a naturally affectionate person but also uncomfortably aware of things like her position, the fact for a long time she was his employer and that not everyone is as comfortable with displays of affection. i feel this is the most changeable and hardest to pin point. if it's affection she feels it'd be an easy five though.

"Not at all," Elincia quips with a morose chuckle, "the spell will protect you from burns and injury, though it does nothing to ease the burden of this oppressive heat. The intent is to keep one safe, personal comfort was clearly an after thought."

Elincia would usually attempt to keep her complaints to herself for the sake of morale. Though here, out in what can only charitably be likened to purgatory, she felt no need to hold her tongue. Truly, the faster they made their leave the better. When she opens her mouth to speak, it comes out harsh and raspy, all moisture pulled out and dissipating into the bone dry air of the valley.

"Ah the ocean. How I wish that was where you'd chosen for our little adventure, Nasir," there's no malice in her words, though neither are they laced with sugar. She'd honestly rather be anywhere but here. "Perhaps if we tie up this little excursion we could make a stop by the Airmid river on the way back to the monastery?"

"I doubt there's any real mystery to this place. I think the real reason locals warn people away is simply because of how inhospitable this land is." She pauses, a light hum as she ponders her next words. "The Valley of Torment is named such because every moment spent here feels like torment. I suppose that leaves the question of why this land is on fire but..."

"I'd much rather discuss those theories in more pleasant surroundings. Shall we disembark?"

"Don't worry, I've had worse," Elincia replies quietly, winded slightly from Nanna's blow. Sothe and herself at least had both seen the brutality of warfare, a curse many of her student carried with them. "Excellent form, Nanna. Quite the ingenious way to surprise your opponent, too."

She does however grimace when Sothe takes a hit from Rosado watching her back. Alas, she'd lacked the foresight to bring a staff with her today.

"Forgive me-- when this is over I can heal that for--" Elincia finds herself knocked backwards a few steps from the force of Claude's arrow straight to her chest. It takes her longer this time to catch her breath, fatigue creeping it's way through her muscles and down to the bone. There's no time to fret however, Sothe takes off towards the right and she follows him dutifully, knowing there's little sense to fighting alone. Cheeks red with exertion, she finds herself face to face with Claude at melee range once more. "I'm impressed, Claude. You've fought incredibly well, though it'll take a bit more than that to best me."

Elincia 0.5/5 HP attacks Claude 6/6 HP with Iron Gauntlets Roll d20: 13, 11! Two hits, -2 HP Claude has 4/6 HP remaining

She darts in swiftly, giving Claude the old "one-two" as she'd heard it called before darting out of range. Elincia feels her chest ache slightly as she moves and knows she can't keep this up much longer. Not without straining herself beyond the rules and guidelines of a friendly tournament. Her smile is bright however, proud of how valiantly both teams have fought today. Besides, she's not to be counted out just yet!

"Elise!" A whirlwind of pastel strikes before Elincia has time to warn the girl to defend her flank. She winces - even with the precautions taken to keep today's events safe, that can't have felt pleasant. Whilst there's likely no lasting damage, Elincia felt the wind knocked out of herself just watching that blow. "Elise, are you okay? Let's get you checked over at the medical tent. Don't worry, we're glad you participated today."

It was a blow to lose a teammate so soon into battle, but Elise's safety was most important. The young lady's injuries were minor at worst but as her professor, Elincia couldn't simply stand by and allow her to risk getting hurt any further. She turns her attention to Sothe, armed with a bow next to her.

"Well, it seems our opponents aren't going to hold back. May I suggest we work in tandem to wear them down?"

The Golden Deer's house leader, Claude, stands before her. Elincia smiles brightly at him, readying herself to move in. There's no one else she can reach, though she's secretly glad to be face to face with him. After all, taking out the leader usually weakens enemy resolve. "You ought to be applauded, Claude, with such skilled classmates I'm sure you've all trained well for this. I assure you, this isn't personal, but we can't give in so easily."

Elincia 5/5 HP uses Mighty Blow against Claude 6/6 HP! Roll d20: 15! 1.5 damage. Claude has 4.5/6 HP remaining.

Forgoing swiftness for power, she charges forward and strikes with her right fist. Her feet stay grounded as she follows through, just the way Linus taught her. Then she dashes away, back to Sothe's side to put as much distance between them as possible. She'd prefer not to take an arrow head on, even with her feet planted firmly on solid ground.

Lavender petals unfurl, filling the room with their light fragrance. It's the small touches that make such a place more than simple accommodations but a sanctuary. Especially in dark, dire times like these. Elincia throws open the window, allowing herself a moment to luxuriate in the gentle caress of the mountain air outside. Space is a little hard to come by with two beds now placed in the room but she takes great efforts to make the soon to be shared bedroom as comfortable and welcoming as possible.

She was lucky, after all, for her lodgings had been left unscathed. Her home away from home completely intact, including those comforts so familiar to her heart. Trinkets and memories from simpler times, moments kept just within reach by keepsakes so fragile in nature.

A knock on the door swiftly breaks her free from her musings. Brushing down her skirt, as if to shake away the melancholy clinging to her, she rises and makes her way to the door.

"Welc--" Elincia finds herself caught off guard by the man at the door who towers above her. A stranger, she almost asks how she can help him, if he has become lost in the chaos engulfing the monastery. Thankfully she has the sense to hold her tongue, instead blinking twice before smiling, a soft shake of her head. "Pardon me, sir. I wasn't expecting you quite so soon."

"Please, make yourself comfortable. Ah, forgive the clutter," not that there was much to be found. A book on her bedside table, an errant teacup out of place. She'd been careful to tidy the room from top to bottom, ready to accept her new guest for the foreseeable. "It's a pleasure to meet you. Would you like some tea? I have some lovely fig cakes to pair with it."

@contempenitent

let me bring in the memories

Finding lodgings for everyone who had been staying at the monastery on such short notice is a near impossible task. Some homes are kind enough to accept temporary houseguests to live with them on the condition they help out, and some inns are able to fit some groups in while the Church compensates them for this temporary inconvenience. You’ll undoubtedly have to share a room with some of your fellow monastery folk, however, and the rooms will feel cramped, the low amount of available housing requiring your groups to make do with spaces most definitely not intended for the numbers you’re cramming into them. Get to know your new roommate, and hope you don’t hate them as you’ll be stuck with them for as long as it takes for Garreg Mach to rebuild your rooms…

"Hello," Azelle begins, sliding into the green-haired woman's view. He doesn't want to interrupt her, but at the very least, she's got a pastry with her name on it! ...Whatever her name is, that is.

"My name is Azelle Velthomer," he continues. "I wanted to introduce myself to all my new classmates... So I made cinnamon rolls and raspberry tarts, if you'd like one!"

With that, he presents the tray to her, smiling.

"Oh, how may I--" she's interrupted in the mildest possible form of the word. One she simply can't turn down - truth be told the queen of Crimea was rather too easily bribed with sweets. "Thank you so much! How very kind of you, I love baking too."

Carefully, she selects a raspberry tart, eyes wide with delight. Then she falters, hand hovering in mid air, unsure if she should return the gift.

"Classmates? Oh dear, Sir Azelle, I'm very sorry. It appears I may have misled you," A flush rises to her cheeks, perfectly matching the colour of the raspberry confection. "My name is Elincia and it's a pleasure to make your acquaintance. Although I'm actually the instructor of this class..."

"I'm very sorry for the confusion, I hope you feel welcome amongst the Black Eagles. If there's anything, anything at all I can do to help you settle in, please inform me at once."

[amitieos]

Elincia squares her shoulders with her hips, ready to unleash another blow upon the crumbling rock face. Linus has taught her well so far, though his most important gift was the confidence she now felt. Comfortable enough to relax and have fun, laughter and conversation flows freely between them.

"Pegasi are quite finnicky, they tend to prefer a gentle touch, at least as they get to know you." Elincia begins, lighting up as she speaks. Her hooved and feathered friends were always a delightful topic. "I think that's where the reputation for preferring women might have started, a lot of military types pride themselves on being the opposite of soft and gentle. They can be rather... choosy but it's not unheard off for them to bond with men."

"Wyverns and horses alike tend to be less sensitive. More willing to take commands on the battlefield, though I think they take longer to bond with as deeply. Though I suppose I only really have first hand experiences with horses...." She turns her attention back to the task at hand. Taking in a deep breath, Elincia feels the ground beneath her feet. It's such a different sensation than fighting from atop her pegasus, or even how lightly she must step wielding a sword on foot, though it's far from unpleasant.

"Either way, the bond between mount and rider is a wonderful thing. Chrysaor, my pegasus, has been my closest ally since I learned to walk."

Roll 2d20: 15, 4

Elincia jabs the stone ahead of her, landing a solid blow. Yet again, her following strike lacks quite the same bite. Something to work on, room for improvement. Though she supposes if she can land her first blow hard enough there may not even be need for a second. Or perhaps she should focus on her momentum, finding time and space to make a second attack. The rock face cracks and crumbles, ready to fall apart - a joint effort to be proud of.

Linus had taught her well, the rest was up to her own efforts.

"I agree completely! There's a certain... thrill to self improvement, is there not? Especially with good friends! Speaking of which, I hope you know you can count me amongst yours."

"I don't think peaceful is uninteresting, Ena. Rather I think it's quite beautiful," Elincia hums as she shuffles closer, fingertips numb from the cold. "Even if you can't remember specific stories, I'd love to hear about the things you enjoyed. Your favourite places, flowers you liked to watch bloom. Anything and everything."

Constellations twinkle above them in the velveteen canopy of the night sky. It takes her back to long summer evenings spent watching the intricate dances of the stars. The only connection to a world beyond the house she grew up in and all it's possibilities. Even today, she takes in the night sky and reminds herself the people of Crimea see the same moon, stars and galaxies. Home is never too far away.

"Hmm, I often felt lonely as a child too. To meet so many wonderful people as I do now was a dream. Nay, it would be beyond my wildest imaginings," Elincia smiles, pointing up above, into the sky. Ena's body next to hers is still a little chilly so she pulls back a touch to let her bask in the fire's glow. "Perhaps we could have kept one another company as children? I would have loved to share with you the stories I was taught about the constellations. Or we could have made up our own fantastic tales to regale each other with!"
