“Remember when we had a cooking contest and ya knocked me out with your nasty goulash? Good times!” 

Can you believe it? Fate and destiny has once again brought Chrom and the ol’ Teach to the same place, at the same time! He didn’t even know that Chrom was also a professor. To those who think they AREN’T rivals tied to the hip, how do they explain this, huh? Huh?! The Vaike is waiting.

Ah, besides that! What better way to spend a reunion than to try out some of that ‘perpetual stew’ that’s been going around the block?

When they arrived at the place and he saw the gigantic pot with the granny stirring the batch…

Now this is a whole pot-a-stew that the Vaike’s never seen before…!

“Wait… There’s HOW many ingredients floatin’ around in here?” He looks down into the stew and sees bits and bobs of foodstuff bubbling away. The Vaike can’t even tell which one’s animal and which one’s plant… Or, what if there’s a secret third thing that shouldn’t be in a stew, but is in this one? 

The way that granny’s acting all mysterious about it is kinda scary. Scary enough for Teach to gulp in anticipation.

No!

He can’t back out so quickly and easily, especially when Chrom’s next to him…

Vaike grabs a bowl and scoops up the stew, plopping it in and laughing with enough confidence to put the sun out of a job. “Hah! The Vaike can handle whatever stew ya throw into his chomper! C’mon Chrom, dig in!”

let her cook, he said.

PERPETUAL STEW / vaike + chrom

If Vaike focuses, he might have heard a "holy moly!" from the distance. It doesn't matter if he does or doesn't - this does not chance Cynthia's plan.

She's quick and light on her feet. Before Vaike knows it, something springs onto his back. That thing is Cynthia. Her arms are around his shoulders, dangling there, uselessly.

"What are you doing here?!" Cynthia asks, grinning. "I can't believe it! You're here!!"

All he was doing was standing around, figuring out where to go after his teaching duties were all over. He could go get some extra training done, maybe get a nice meal… Ooh! He heard there was a nice little sauna somewhere in the monastery! 

But then–

“JEEPERS!”

The Vaike nearly sends himself off the ground with that lil’ sneak attack. Who in their right mind would scare him like tha-

Waitaminute.

“CYNTHIA?!” His mouth parts into the widest grin. “Howdja even get in the same place as ol’ Teach?! Fate really does work in mysterious ways, eh?”

Might as well let her hang onto him for a bit longer. It’s not everyday this happens! “Ya know, the Vaike bumped into ya right on time! What say we grab somethin’ to eat? You hafta tell me about your adventures!”

[teachgotchaback]

Of course, them nobles are looking for more hands to deal with their mess... Honestly, if they didn’t have so much stuff under their name, maybe they wouldn’t needa hire so many people to manage it! 

The Vaike’ll never understand the way nobles live… Least he’s working with a pretty gal, so he’s not tending to these horses on his own.

They’re a bit of a ways away from each other for him to simply hand it over, so Teach does as he’s asked, flashes a wink and tosses a stool her direction. “One stool, comin’ right up!” She can catch it, right?

Apparently they were s’pose to disguise themselves, but what’s the point of that if he’s just some random schmuck to these rich folks? Not like they batted an eye when they tossed him stablehand garb and told him to get to work. 

He’ll just prove to them that the Vaike never messes around, fair and square! Just like when he was with the Shepherds!

And that’s why he’s got his sleeves all rolled up to the elbows, scrubbing down the dirt and grime of the troughs.

“Might the Vaike know the lass’s name? He ain’t ever seen ya at the academy before.” 

who cleaned the stable, lisa? da vaikey?

Today is just about the right kind of day for Teach to get some extra training in! 

Weather? As good as it can be.

Mood? On fire!

Of course, that’s how the Vaike is everyday, but that’s why everyday is a good day!

Just look at all these students in the training hall, just as motivated as he is to get even stronger! He strides down by the side of the hall, trying to find a good empty spot to work on his daily reps, when his eye catches sight of a girl sending herself to the ground right in front of him.

“Woah, woah, WOAH! What in the somersaulting canines are ya doin’?!” 

When he extends a hand to pull her back onto her feet, he sees the strange weapon laying next to her. Did she really stick a sword and a lance together? A… swance? The Vaike’s never seen someone swinging in the air more recklessly than HE does!

“Ya can’t go luggin’ around a weapon that big if ya can’t control it! By the time ya got your balance, the enemy’s already shankin’ you to bits!” His tone is more shocked and surprised than angry, as if he'd just seen a mythical creature that made him question his entire worldview. 

He couldn’t have taught her this stuff… Could he?

No way! This was Teach's first week at the job! And the only thing he’s taught the Deer so far is axework, not swancework!

If he's gonna be teaching her, better work on learning her mindset first. Vaike points his finger at the improvised weapon with a curious face. “Wheredja get the idea to put that thing together?” 

So You Wanna Be a Hero, Kid? Well, Whoop-De-Do!

                                    Portrayal Notes under the cut!

My portrayal of Vaike is from his solo ending. I will write him assuming all his supports have reached A rank. If any Awakening muses would like to adjust that, let me know!

As he was raised in the slums and faced classism throughout his life, he doesn't have a particularly high opinion of nobles. He'll still be nice and friendly to muses from noble lineages, but this is just a heads up as he may make assumptive ( or unintentionally hurtful ) remarks about the upper class in general.

He is currently the father of Cynthia. This is subject to change in case there will be a Sumia present in TOA in the future.

Yes, he's walking around without a shirt 90% of the time.

The Vaike may be confused sometimes but he's got the spirit.

wanted plots - june

The Vaike is here and he's ready to make your problems ✨ Disappear ✨ . Here's some plots I'm looking for to start him off!

Pings or DMs on Discord are preferred! Tumblr IMs are fine but expect a longer response time.

REQUIRES UNAFFILIATED MUSE: [ANY SKILL +1] - He doesn't like nobility, especially the ones who don't even do their own chores! But if it's for the sake of juicy gossip…

NON-MISSION BOARD: [LANCE +1] - You may be surprised to hear this, but the Vaike actually has a bit of common sense, so he wouldn't fall for such strange advice… Most of the time. [PERPETUAL STEW] - Let's recreate the Yamcha defeat pose… together.

Also, for any Ylisse muses I'm open to regular threads as well!

[teachgotchaback]

" you're the guy everyone's callin' teach, right? "

the sheer, inimitable aura that rolls off of this dude cannot be overstated. literally. it can't. it's impossible to overstate. any big word that anyone could think of in this monastery right now---massive, gargantuan, titanic---couldn't hope to cover what This Man has got going on.

fogado, of course, catches on quick. and if he doesn't at least have a chat with this guy, it'll be a regret he carries for the rest of his life.

" and you're a golden deer. so that means you'll be teaching one of my classes, potentially. " the way fogado pitches his voice, it's almost like he's trying to string together details to formulate a plan. just what could he be thinking...?

" if that's the case... could i actually ask you a question? before class? "

and from his pocket he pulls the penultimate conversation starter: two kind of weird shaped clay guys he made out of scraps during art class. one is blue and the other gold.

" so i've got these two dudes, right? if i threw them at the wall right now, which one d'you think would explode bigger? my money's on the blue one. "

First day on the job and he’s already the talk of the class. Heh. The Vaike certainly has that effect on people.

“Exactamundo! That's me, ol' Teach in the flesh!” He points to his chest with his thumb. 

And with a proud smirk too, ‘cause he’s just that guy. 

“From the plains of Ylisse–andsoonGarregMach–everyone’s gonna know me as the Teach of Teaches. And yes, one day, the Vaike might just teach YOU e-vry-thing he knows about fightin’.”

To make this day even better, the guy has a question for him! Is this what being a professor’s like?! Oh, he could get used to this. 

...

... Er, but this question isn’t about fighting at all. It’s about… clay dolls… exploding???

“Eh?” The smirk quickly drops to an expression that’s more dumbfounded than anything. “Wouldn’tcha know the answer to that since ya made them? I’m assumin’ ya made them…” 

Oh, but not to worry! The Vaike can’t leave a student’s question unanswered anyways! Once again, his confidence brims just as fast as his dumbfoundedness. “Ya know what? I’m bettin’ on the gold one, so at least one of us is gonna be right!”

If he ends up in the right, then that’s something he’ll call… The Vaike’s Golden Intuition.

[teachgotchaback]

A test? The Vaike doesn't need a test for this! If anyone knows how to narrate, it's me!

Wait... What are you doing with that thing... 

YEEEEOOWWCHHHHH!!!
