The Fire Knights of the Impaler

I just wanted to talk about a few of the lesser-known Fire Knights we encounter throughout the DLC—aside from Queelign—because even though they're obscure, each has their own minor story that I find compelling for how they humanize both the members of Messmer’s army and Messmer himself.

So, what exactly is a Fire Knight? Fire Knights are warriors born of Erdtree nobility who wield Messmer’s flame through incantations, as they were unable to embody the flame inherently when it was bestowed upon them. Because of their involvement in the so-called “holy war,” they were scorned by Erdtree society and ultimately cast out from their homes. Despite this, they chose to remain loyal to Messmer, bound to him by oath.

Within the military, Fire Knights hold the highest rank, subordinate to no one but their lord, Messmer. They know him intimately, and not only accepted but understood his true form as a fiery serpent. They recognized that such an existence caused their lord immense suffering—both physical and mental.

Traditionally, Fire Knights wore pointed helms and armor draped in red cloaks, adorned with a twin-serpent gold motif at the neck. Their enchanted weapons—ranging from daggers to greatswords—resembled flowing flames. They also carried sacred seals modeled after Messmer’s emblem: a gold ring encircling a flame, which enhanced the power of their fire incantations.

Some Fire Knights even authored crafting manuals used by Messmer’s foot soldiers—guides for creating fiery tools like fire grease or ember-based fire coils from materials found on the battlefield.

Something I forgot to mention is that the standard helm worn by the Fire Knights actually provides slight boosts to health, stamina, and equip load, while their armor enhances the potency of Messmer’s flame incantations.

Now, onto the known members of the Fire Knight order (excluding Queelign, because I just don’t feel like it haha):

The "leader" or most prominent among the Fire Knights is a man named Kood. The English script gives him the rank of Captain, but from what I can tell, he simply stands above the others in either skill or authority. His helm is shaped in the likeness of Messmer’s winged serpents—creatures said to be wise and noble companions who help suppress the wicked serpent gnawing at Messmer from within. Given this symbolism, and Kood’s position as the lead Fire Knight, it makes me wonder if he served as a kind of advisor or confidant to Messmer, much like the winged serpents themselves.

Kood’s helm enhances the battle arts used by Fire Knights, and he even wields his own unique technique: Flame Spear. With it, he adopts a poised, thrusting stance before unleashing a fiery spear straight ahead. He stands guard before the entrance to Messmer’s dark chambers.

Wego is the “elder” of the Fire Knights. In this context, the term elder refers to an old man, wise with age and experience. Wego is a man utterly consumed by loneliness—it corrodes his heart. This is likely because he has lost those dear to him, as suggested by the two loosened death masks he wears, vertically stacked atop one another. He is also knowledgeable in the arts of resurrection.

This somewhat reminds me of the necromancer Garris, who, after losing his family, dedicated himself to ancient death hexes. He wielded a flail with copper heads, each attached to the handle by chains and crafted in the likeness of his departed loved ones.

Wego may have lost his family—or perhaps comrades. The spiritual nature of Messmer’s flame drew his attention, and he sought to incorporate it into his resurrection arts. However, when Messmer’s flame took root in the corpses he tried to revive, it did not restore their souls. Instead, it produced shambling husks that brought Wego no comfort.

Wego is one of only two Fire Knights known to have spoken dialogue, hoarsely commanding: “Fire, take seed in death and rise again.” The stacked death masks he wears reduce the focus required to summon spirits—fittingly so. He is found alongside his soulless companions within the sunken church district of Messmer’s castle.

The elder Wego had an apprentice named Salza, who would become the wisest among the Fire Knights. Salza was a man who despised barbarity and needless violence, yet he became most notorious for setting numerous Hornsent villages and townships ablaze during the crusade.

However, Salza risked his life when he counseled his superior—either Captain Kood or their lord, Messmer—to spare the old ruins of Rauh, believing that burning such a place would be a grave mistake. Alongside his dear friend, the Fire Knight Hilde, and others, Salza also advocated for the preservation of various Hornsent specimens within the Shadowkeep’s storehouse.

I presume Hilde is a woman, given the feminine connotation of the name. She would perish during the crusade, and her remains were enshrined as a guardian spirit within the storehouse. It’s rather fitting that she would be laid to rest among the very specimens whose preservation she once championed.

Salza is credited with the incantation Rain of Fire, in which he calls upon a burning cloud. With arms outstretched, he yells, “Rain of Fire,” as fiery rain pours down from the sky while he guards the entrance to Rauh. His pointed helm is wrapped in excess cloth, giving the impression of an enlarged head. Fittingly, the helm boosts one’s intelligence.

Seeing the Fire Knight portraits from @arnaerr made me want to write this, lol.

ALWAYS AN ANGEL NEVER A GOD

777GOJOSGF IS TYPING…

777gojosgf: tired!reader x satoru gojo

IN WHERE :: no matter how hard you try, your efforts will never be recognized as much as the ones of the strongest sorcerer.

a/n :: angsty time!

YOU STARED AT THE mission report containing information on your latest mission handed out by the principal and that pitiful feeling swarmed in your belly. it didn’t make sense. you had a perfect score on everything but somehow it wasn’t considered enough and you were still not named a special grade.

it certainly couldn’t be your fault, not when you had spent morning and night training at the grounds of jujutsu high. you barely had an ounce of sleep as you had tackled the training dummies for hours, trying to boost your stamina by running for miles and trying to adapt to your cursed technique. you had never taken a break, always having your eye on the prize.

you were always ahead of everyone at a young age when you still attended a normal public high school, excelling at every subject and the teachers always praising you for your efforts and high marks. but everything was different now that you were suffocated by the terrors and demands of the jujutsu world.

in the realm of jujutsu, you had become lost in an abyss, and you were no longer the greatest. the smartest, the one you had to defeat to win. no, you had lost your prodigy label and had to start over because intelligence was not the sole requirement for survival. to learn how to fight and defend yourself, you must have physical strength. act rationally rather than emotionally.

as a result, you trained yourself until you were blue and bruised, and there was never a day when you didn't start the day with a morning workout and/or a night session. you had this need to be the greatest at everything, unsure of whose approval you sought. it did not matter. you only wanted the gratification of doing good and being respected for it, to be feared rather than despised. however, your hard work was in vain because you were not promoted to a higher level.

what the fuck did they want from you?

and when was it ever enough?

before you realised it, you had crushed the mission report, which had fallen from your strong hold onto the floor. you weren't sure if you were angry or sad; maybe it was a combination of the two that was boiling deep inside and surging through your body. it was so puzzling because you had trained yourself and knew the answer to everything. missions were no trouble for you, and even single missions went well; why the heck haven't you been named a special grade yet?

“what has gotten you into such a buzz?” you heard coming from down the hallway as you turned around only to face the sorcerer you had envied the moment you had become a jujutsu sorcerer yourself. of course it was the fucking six eyes himself.

with lengthy steps, he effortlessly filled the gap between the two of you, his gaze drawn to the crumbled paper on the ground. he used his skill to raise it up and unfold it so he could read what it stated, but he didn't understand why you were so upset about it. it was an excellent mission report, with no further casualties or difficulties. what was the big deal?

"you. the higher-ups. fucking everything, okay?! i’ve worked my fucking ass off for years. i still have the scars from when i initially visited these grounds and worked out till i fucking blacked out, just to resume once i woke up. do you realise how damn fortunate you are? how do you get practically everything? you can do whatever the fuck you want because you are goddamn gojo satoru— that is my problem." you yelled angrily with shaking legs and hands, angry tears welling up in your eyes, but you knew it wasn't fair because he hadn't chosen this kind of life and how everything turned out was simply a matter of luck, but you couldn't keep your indifference hidden.

if he had felt hurt by that, you wouldn’t have known because there wasn’t any kind of feeling displayed on his face. instead, he leaned against the wall with a blank expression and averted his gaze away from you, a small sigh escaping him.

suddenly it had felt as if the world collapsed on you as you slid against the wall and eventually sat on the ground with your arms on top of your knees, your head buried into your arms as the angry tears had trailed down your face. it wasn’t fair. nothing was fair. the higher ups, him, but also the way you reacted wasn’t something he deserved that and you knew that deep down. but still— it was bound to come out sometime.

“i’m so tired…” you whispered to practically no one at all with a shaky breath, your eyes closing as you felt a headache starting due to the amount of crying and a strained voice by yelling. you had expected him to leave and find something useful to do, to not take this venting bullshit from you.

instead, you sensed his presence next to you as he sat down with his legs spread out on the floor. his back was leaning against the wall as he looked up, but he hadn't said anything yet, and you weren't sure whether he was going to. it did have a strangely soothing sense with him seated next to you.

soon enough, he had silently wrapped his arm around you and moved you closer to him. you hadn’t questioned any of his actions, you couldn’t when it felt as if there was a cloud above your head. Instead you nestled into his side and looked up at him teary eyed. “i’m sorry.” you breathed out defeated and gave him a weak smile which he only shaked his head to in response.

"don’t worry about it. you have a point, but i didn’t chose this either. you know? but it's true that they haven't been treating you fairly; i expected you'd be promoted months, if not years ago." he remarked, but he couldn't meet your gaze even though he had removed his blindfold, his white hair strewn haphazardly across his head. you merely nodded, about to open your month and clarify that it wasn't his fault, when he placed a finger on your lips, causing you to scowl.

it made him chuckle, the scowl you had on your face. he admired your feistiness and ability to stay strong even though things weren’t working out. perhaps it made you even stronger than him in a way.

“i know what you’re going to say, but i shouldn’t have showed off my abilities everywhere. however, i’ll fix this. alright? you just go and have a good night sleep.” he reassured you which only left you confused. how was he going to fix this and what for? you had basically just thrown a tantrum like a small child.

your thoughts were interrupted as you felt him drop a kiss on your head, causing blood to surge to your cheeks. you were about to comment on it, but he had already stood up and reapplied his blindfold, making his way to whatever he was planning to do.

"hey, satoru!" you yelled out from behind, still seated on the floor, arms on top of your knees. he came to a halt in his tracks and casually turned around; if you hadn't known better, you could have imagined there was a faint red glow on his own face.

“thank you.”

“no worries, y/n.”

the next morning, you awakened and put on your uniform, eager to get out of your room, until you discovered the mail slipped beneath your door. you frowned as you kneeled to the ground and picked up the letter. as you read what it stated, a huge grin appeared on your face, and a sense of victory ran through your body.

you were officially named a special grade.

you had no idea how satoru had done this or how he dealt with it, but you were extremely grateful. you realised you may not have earned what he had done for you after complaining about him in such a dramatic manner, but you couldn't help how you felt.

though it wasn’t long before you managed to figure out a way on how to thank him.

[brucewaynehater101]

something that I haven't really seen being talked about/mentioned is that Tim having some of the Lazarus Pit's water inside his body and it's side effects (if there's any), like, would minor wounds and injuries not affect Tim even though he doesn't have a spleen? does he heal faster? run faster? better stamina or flexibility?? did he get stronger?? does he have shorter temper? does his eyes flicker Lazarus green when feeling strong, negative emotions or does he sometimes hear it's whispers when he's feeling strong, negative emotions??

(English isn't my first language, so sorry for any mistakes.)

(Quite alright. It's perfectly fine ^^)

Hmm... is this the hc/au idea that Ra's, to "help" Tim post splenectomy, injects or feeds Tim some Pit water?

It's not a full dip, so the effects are drastically reduced, but it still changes Tim.

I've barely seen this AU, but there are two reasons Ra's could have done this.

He genuinely wants to help Tim (not out of the goodness of his heart, though)

This would lead Tim to be susceptible to influence/manipulation

This does depend on your HCs for Lazarus Pit effects. The overall canon rule is that it heals the dying and kills the healthy. Other than that? Canon is all over the place.

So, do people post-dip enjoy enhanced strength, healing, stamina, and flexibility? Are their anger or all emotions heightened? Do they have the cool mood ring light up eyes? It is up to you ^^

I did like the idea you proposed of injected Pit water giving Tim a boosted immune system/healing speed. However, I also like the idea that Pit effects fade.

Therefore, Tim slowly becomes sicker and weaker as he becomes more susceptible to illness ^^ He can either inject himself with more Pit water or find an alternative (like taking more break, changing his diet, taking antibiotics, etc).

What if Ra's regularly sent him Pit injections to help him combat his lack of spleen? This could be a way that Tim owes Ra's or a manipulation technique. Maybe Tim has to pay back the "medicine" (through passing along information, running leadership like tasks, doing missions, or whatever).

How to Build a High-Speed, High-Damage Trooper in Dune Awakening

Overview of the Mobile Trooper Build

If you're looking to dominate in Dune Awakening with agility, firepower, and nonstop momentum, this mobile trooper build is the one for you. This setup focuses on rapid movement, mid- to long-range combat, and tactical flexibility—perfect for players who enjoy controlling the flow of battle instead of relying on brute force.

Whether you're leveling up or pushing endgame content, this high DPS trooper is designed to keep you fast, unpredictable, and lethal. In this guide, you'll learn the essential skills, gear, and combat tactics that make this the Dune Awakening best build for players who favor hit-and-run precision over tanking damage.

What Makes This Build Unique?

Prioritizes speed and stamina over defense

Focuses on ranged pressure and mobility tools

Perfect for PvP duels, kiting NPCs, and flanking strategies

Uses a hybrid skill tree optimized for constant movement

Equipped with light gear and burst weapons for fast engagements

Key Skills and Abilities for a Fast Trooper Build

The mobile trooper build thrives on movement and adaptability. Rather than following a traditional class-specific skill tree, this setup pulls from several areas to focus on stamina efficiency, mobility, and ranged output.

Core Active Abilities to Prioritize

Shigware Claw – A crucial repositioning tool that pulls you toward enemies or terrain. Use it for fast flanks or disengages.

Suspensor Pad – Grants vertical mobility, letting you launch upwards to gain the high ground or escape danger.

Energy Capsule – Keeps your stamina and energy topped off, especially useful during long fights or back-to-back engagements.

These abilities form the foundation of your movement loop, giving you the edge in both PvP and PvE by letting you control positioning and pressure.

Best Passive Techniques for Mobility and Survival

Pair your actives with strong utility passives to boost your durability and maneuverability:

Battle Harden – Increases your resistance during sustained firefights or when taking ranged damage.

Suspensor Dash – Enables short-range bursts to avoid damage and reposition quickly.

Death from Above – A powerful aerial strike you can chain with Suspensor Pad for surprise burst damage.

You’ll also want to invest in general traits like energy regeneration, cooldown reduction, and stamina management to ensure you're always able to act, dash, or shoot under pressure.

Best Gear for Speed and Tactical Flexibility

Gear selection is critical in supporting the mobile trooper playstyle. Since your focus is movement and stamina rather than tanking, you'll want to equip light armor and mobility-enhancing tools that increase your effectiveness in motion.

Recommended Armor Sets

Combat Scout Set – Light armor that boosts sprint speed and stamina regeneration. Ideal for early- to mid-game.

Enhanced Movement Variants – As you progress, upgrade to armor with dodge cooldown reduction and extended sprint duration.

Lightwear armor may not offer high defense, but it aligns perfectly with this build’s focus on speed and flanking. The goal is to avoid damage altogether by staying mobile and unpredictable.

Critical Gadgets and Utility Items

Suspensor Belt – Choose versions like the Wing Breaker Belt or Reflex MK2 for dash bursts or speed boosts after taking damage.

Power Packs – Equip Overdrive Core or Pulse Generator to refresh energy after sprinting or activating abilities.

With the right gadget setup, you can maintain near-constant uptime on your movement skills. These tools let you escape, engage, or reposition instantly, especially valuable in chaotic fights.

Top Weapon Choices for the Mobile Trooper

In a build focused on speed and high DPS, your weapons must match your movement-oriented style. This means picking tools that deliver reliable damage without slowing you down.

Primary Weapons (Mid-to-Long Range)

Raptor Auto Marksman

ARMC Precision Rifle

Both offer high accuracy, fast fire rate, and solid range—perfect for suppression while strafing. These weapons let you lay down damage while staying in motion, maintaining pressure on your target from a distance.

Key attachments to focus on:

Recoil reduction for better control during movement

Hip-fire accuracy to maintain DPS while sprinting or dodging

Secondary Weapons (Close Range Finishers)

High-Rate SMG

Energy Burst Sidearm

Ideal when enemies close the gap. A fast-firing SMG or heavy pistol gives you a reliable way to finish fights up close. These weapons are crucial for PvP encounters where the fight shifts quickly from ranged kiting to close engagements.

Optional gadget tip:

Drop a turret before engaging to add extra pressure, then dash in and finish with SMG fire.

Weapon synergy with your movement is essential. Too close and you’re vulnerable, too far and your shots might miss—so always manage range carefully.

Mid-Game Strategy: Managing Resources and Combat Flow

By the time you reach mid-game, you’ll have unlocked most of your core abilities and passives. This is when the mobile trooper build starts to shine in longer engagements and more complex encounters.

Combat Tips for Mid-Game Efficiency

Initiate with Suppressive Fire – Open fights by tagging enemies from range to draw aggro and deal early damage.

Kite Effectively – Use terrain and your mobility tools to pull enemies through narrow paths, avoiding hits while applying constant pressure.

Craft Consumables – Items like adrenaline shots or sprint injectors boost speed and stamina. These can reset fights, aid in disengagements, or help you dive into risky flanks.

It’s important to monitor stamina and energy closely. Avoid exhausting both at once or you risk being locked out of your main tools during critical moments.

Endgame Mastery: Non-Stop Engagement Loops

At endgame, your trooper build becomes a high-performance machine. With full access to optimized gear and passives, you should now be chaining abilities together in a loop that rarely stops.

Sample Engagement Combo

Start with Suspensor Pad – Gain vertical advantage.

Trigger Death from Above – Burst damage from above on grouped enemies.

Follow with Shigware Claw – Reposition or chase weakened enemies.

Activate Energy Capsule – Keep stamina and ability use going.

Sustain with Primary Weapon Fire – Keep pressure while resetting cooldowns.

Endgame is all about timing, rhythm, and resource control. You’ll want to refine your cooldown reduction gear and integrate it with your energy/stamina passive boosts.

This section turns your fast trooper setup into a relentless force on the battlefield.

Conclusion: Why This Is the Best Fast Trooper Build in Dune Awakening

The mobile trooper build in Dune Awakening offers unmatched speed, adaptability, and ranged damage output. Whether you're up against PvE mobs or real players in PvP, this setup gives you full control of the battlefield. With the right blend of skills, gadgets, and movement, you'll always stay one step ahead of your enemy.

To get the most out of this build:

Keep your energy and stamina high.

Chain abilities for movement and burst.

Stay unpredictable and always on the move.

This isn't just a fun build—it’s one of the most skill-intensive and rewarding ways to play the game.

Q: How do I manage stamina and energy in longer fights? A: Use Energy Capsule, power packs, and consumables like sprint injectors. Also invest in passive traits for energy regen and cooldown reduction.

How Sleep Affects Testosterone & Reproductive Health

Sleep plays a critical role in maintaining overall health, and its impact on hormonal balance is often underestimated. For men, adequate sleep is essential for testosterone production, which in turn affects reproductive health, muscle growth, and overall well-being. However, with modern lifestyles becoming increasingly demanding, sleep deprivation has become a common issue, leading to various health concerns.

This article explores the relationship between sleep, testosterone levels, and reproductive health, as well as how natural solutions like Power-C Male Reproductive Health can help support hormonal balance and vitality.

The Link Between Sleep & Testosterone Production

Testosterone is primarily produced during sleep, with the highest secretion occurring during the REM cycle. Studies have shown that men who get less than 6 hours of sleep per night experience a significant decline in testosterone levels. This reduction can lead to decreased libido, fatigue, reduced sperm production, and even mood disturbances. Additionally, poor sleep quality has been linked to disruptions in the body’s circadian rhythm, which plays a vital role in regulating hormone secretion.

How Poor Sleep Affects Reproductive Health

Lack of quality sleep impacts reproductive health in multiple ways:

Lower sperm quality: Sleep deprivation has been linked to decreased sperm count, motility, and morphology, which can affect fertility.

Hormonal imbalance: Disruptions in sleep patterns lead to increased cortisol (stress hormone) levels, which negatively impact testosterone production and overall reproductive function.

Reduced libido: Low testosterone levels due to poor sleep can result in a decline in sexual desire and performance, affecting confidence and relationships.

Increased risk of infertility: Chronic sleep deprivation can lead to long-term fertility problems in men, making it harder for couples to conceive.

Increased oxidative stress: Poor sleep can lead to oxidative stress, which negatively impacts sperm DNA integrity and overall reproductive health.

Ways to Improve Sleep & Boost Testosterone Levels

To optimize testosterone production and reproductive health, men should focus on improving their sleep habits:

Maintain a consistent sleep schedule by going to bed and waking up at the same time daily to support the body’s natural circadian rhythm.

Limit screen time before bed to reduce exposure to blue light, which disrupts melatonin production and makes it harder to fall asleep.

Engage in relaxation techniques such as meditation, deep breathing, or reading to promote restful sleep and reduce stress levels.

Maintain a healthy diet rich in nutrients like zinc, magnesium, and vitamin D, which are essential for testosterone production and overall hormone balance.

Exercise regularly, but avoid intense workouts close to bedtime, as high-intensity training before sleep can elevate cortisol levels and disrupt sleep quality.

Avoid stimulants like caffeine and nicotine before bedtime, as they can interfere with the ability to fall asleep and stay asleep.

Create a sleep-friendly environment by keeping the bedroom cool, dark, and quiet to improve sleep quality.

The Role of Natural Supplements in Supporting Sleep & Testosterone

Natural supplements can aid in promoting better sleep and enhancing testosterone levels. Power-C Male Reproductive Health contains powerful ingredients such as:

Ashwagandha: Known to reduce stress and improve sleep quality, leading to better hormonal balance and reduced cortisol levels.

Shilajit: Supports testosterone production, enhances energy levels, and helps combat fatigue caused by poor sleep.

Ginseng: Improves stamina, reproductive health, and overall vitality, providing essential support for male fertility.

Magnesium & Zinc: Crucial for healthy sleep cycles and testosterone synthesis, ensuring the body can properly regulate hormone production.

Conclusion

Sleep is a fundamental factor in maintaining healthy testosterone levels and reproductive health. Poor sleep can negatively impact fertility, libido, and overall well-being, but by adopting healthy sleep habits and incorporating natural supplements like Power-C Male Reproductive Health, men can support their hormonal balance and improve their quality of life. Prioritizing rest is an essential step toward achieving optimal reproductive and overall health. Making small yet effective changes in sleep routines, stress management, and diet can significantly contribute to hormonal balance and better fertility outcomes. Investing in quality sleep is investing in a healthier, more vibrant life for both individuals and their relationships.

What if food affects how cursed energy behaves?

Not just “you fight better when full” (duh)—I mean, like, specific types of food influencing CE output, control, regeneration, and even cursed technique temperament.

Hypothesis: Different Foods = Different Cursed Energy Profiles

Based on observation (stalking), here’s what I’ve started mapping:

1. High-Carb Foods (Rice, Bread, Noodles)

- Boost stamina and cursed energy output.

- Blondie eats a ham and cheese on bread and he seems very well put together and can take a lot

- Helped me burnout

- Downside: delayed cursed energy recovery if overeaten—probably due to digestion fatigue.

2. High-Protein Foods (Meat, Tofu, Eggs)

- Promote faster cursed energy regeneration

- Patty says animal meat is good but human meat is the best. McDonald’s burger vs Gordon Ramsey steak burger

- Tofu seems to have more controlled, steady regeneration vs animal meat gives a quick filling burst and excess is wasted on sorcerers but good for curses

3. Spicy Foods (Curry, Wasabi, Instant Regret)

- Mixed reports.

- it spikes cursed energy unpredictably—wild surges and crashes.

- One sorcerer vomited mid-fight(this was post a hot wing trip to wild buffalo wings) Cursed energy dipped with each retch. I have graphs.

- The friend kept spiking up and having wildly more chaotic output but with greater force

4. Fermented Foods (Miso, Kimchi, Natto)

- Enhances internal flow and technique refinement over time.

- Monk sorcerers… hmm??? Good meditate??? Words I cannot output!

Bonus: natto might repel minor curses via smell alone. (Unconfirmed.)

5. Sugary Snacks (Candy, Cake, Soda)

- Sharp bursts of cursed energy. Not sustainable.

- More useful for sudden boosts or activating certain “high-emotion” techniques.

- HOWEVER. I found after my burnout this was a perfect pick me up and aided to my RCT to myself lessening the strain.

- sugar -> dopamine -> positive energy control?

There’s also a weird phenomenon where sorcerers techniques vibes seem drawn to foods that match their CE + CT vibes.

- Okami seems to like very neutral, bitter, or salty foods.

- Blondie like simple foods, sandwiches, pizza, soups.

- One guy said his cursed energy “burns weird” when he eats dairy. Lactose intolerance? Or cursed indigestion?

I’m calling this “Food Resonance Theory.”

What if your CE has a palate? Can there be food made specifically for your CE? Is it flavors or the ingredients in it?

Dove Breathing🕊

Do not steal, this took days.

Dove Breathing was created by Akari Shohei, it focuses on Strength and Durability and is derived from Wind Breathing. It can be learned quickly, making it accessible to those with limited training time. Techniques are powerful but consume a lot of energy, requiring the user to manage their stamina carefully.

First Form: Gentle Wing Flap:

A defensive move that creates a powerful gust of wind to deflect attacks and push back enemies.

Visual: A translucent, shimmering wave of wind resembling dove feathers spreads out from the user's blade, creating a protective barrier.

Second Form: Soaring Strike:

A swift, upward slash that mimics the sudden flight of a dove, aimed at catching opponents off guard.

Visual: The user's blade glows with a soft, white light, leaving a trail of ethereal feathers as it slices upward, symbolizing the sudden flight of a dove.

Third Form: Feathered Shield:

The user hardens their muscles, creating a temporary shield-like defense that can absorb heavy blows.

Visual: The user's body is enveloped in a faint, white aura that hardens into a shield-like pattern of interlocking feathers, absorbing incoming attacks.

Forth Form: Dove's Descent:

A powerful downward strike that combines strength and speed, capable of breaking through tough defenses.

Visual: As the user strikes downward, a burst of white energy in the shape of a descending dove accompanies the blade, emphasizing the power and speed of the attack.

Fifth Form: Winged Embrace:

A grappling technique where the user locks the opponent in a crushing hold, using their enhanced strength.

Visual: When the user grapples the opponent, ghostly wings made of light appear to wrap around both the user and the opponent, symbolizing the crushing hold.

Sixth Form: Skyward Ascent:

The user leaps into the air, delivering a series of rapid strikes from above, overwhelming the opponent.

Visual: The user is surrounded by a spiral of glowing feathers as they leap into the air, each strike leaving behind a streak of light that resembles a dove's flight path.

Seventh Form: Dove's Resilience:

A recovery technique that temporarily boosts the user's stamina and heals minor injuries, allowing them to continue fighting.

Visual: A soft, white glow envelops the user, with small, glowing feathers appearing to mend their wounds and rejuvenate their energy.

Eighth Form: Feather Storm:

The user unleashes a flurry of slashes in all directions, creating a storm of cutting wind that can hit multiple targets.

Visual: The user unleashes a whirlwind of glowing feathers that swirl around them, each feather acting as a cutting blade that strikes multiple targets.

Ninth Form: Dove's Final Flight:

A devastating finishing move where the user channels all their remaining energy into a single, unstoppable strike.

Visual: The user's blade shines with an intense, radiant light, and as they deliver the final strike, a massive, spectral dove made of pure energy appears to fly through the opponent, symbolizing the culmination of their power.

Those are all of the forms of Dove Breathing, I hope you like them :3

ah just wrote out both Ruby's Authority of Liberation and Blair's Authority of Egoism, i really love the contrast between them too. Ruby being more nonchalant free and Blair's being destructive terrifiying

Authority of Liberation – The Authority of Liberation is Ruby’s Herrscher ability, awakened when she entered her Herrscher of Liberation form after absorbing a surge of Honkai Watt. Unlike most Herrschers, whose powers represent elements or domains, Ruby’s Authority reflects the concept of freedom. It allows her to bypass restrictions—whether physical, mental, or structural—and ignore limits placed on herself, her allies, or the world around her. This Authority shapes how she fights, offering flexibility, unpredictability, and control over her environment.

Conceptual Manipulation: Ruby can perceive and alter the underlying rules or concepts that govern how things function. These include ideas like gravity, durability, restraint, or separation. She doesn’t erase them outright, but can suppress or distort them for a time, allowing her to act outside normal limits.

Boundary Manipulation: Ruby can detect and adjust the boundaries that separate different states; such as movement and stillness, control and chaos, or internal and external force. She can weaken or bypass these divisions to interfere with how objects, people, or abilities interact. This can destabilize enemy control or sharpen her own responses.

Freedom Empowerment: The more Ruby or her team is being restricted; physically, mentally, or strategically—the stronger her Authority becomes. This makes her more dangerous when cornered or under pressure, as her power naturally pushes back against suppression.

Restriction Nullification: Ruby can cancel out effects that limit movement, power, or thought. She uses this to break free from restraints, undo seals, or negate abilities that rely on suppressing opponents.

Adaptive Evolution: When Ruby is pushed to her limits, the Authority can respond by developing new tools or improving existing ones. These adaptations usually reflect the challenge she’s facing, giving her a way to keep up or turn the situation around. In other words it's a vastly enhanced form of her Zenkai ability.

Authority of Egoism – The Authority of Egoism is Blair’s Herrscher ability, awakened after evolving from Mastered Ultra Ego through the absorption of a large amount of Honkai Watt. This transformation marks a shift from pure instinct and destruction to control over identity, will, and presence. Blair retains all traits of Ultra Ego, including the strength boost from damage and destructive power scaling with instinct, but now combines those traits with psychological control. Her approach becomes more calculated, targeting both body and mind.

Ego Manipulation – Blair can perceive and influence the ego—the core of a person’s identity and will. This ability allows her to suppress, reinforce, or destabilize the egos of others depending on her intent. She can mentally break down opponents, nullify hesitation in allies, or take control of short-term behavior to redirect actions. Nearby enemies are passively affected by her presence, becoming unsure of their goals the longer they stay in range. She can also absorb fragments of willpower from defeated foes to restore her stamina and reinforce her mental control.

Destruction Core Access – All destructive traits from Ultra Ego are retained and enhanced. Blair still grows stronger as she takes damage, and her attacks carry the destructive energy of a God of Destruction. Now, this power can be fused with ego-based effects, allowing her to disrupt her opponent’s sense of self while hitting them physically.

False Self Projection – Blair can create temporary projections of herself using fragments of her ego. These act as decoys, supports, or attackers depending on her needs. Each one carries a portion of her mental pressure and can use basic variations of her main abilities.

Apostasy Trigger – Her final technique. Blair forces a target to face every unresolved contradiction within themselves at once. If they can’t hold together, their identity collapses. This can result in emotional shutdown, disassociation, or a permanent shift in who they are.

Isolation Field – Blair generates a controlled zone around herself where all external influences—emotional, mental, or spiritual—are cut off. Inside this field, communication becomes difficult, abilities tied to connection or group synergy weaken, and opponents begin to feel isolated. Blair’s own power remains unaffected.

Singular Will – Her ego cannot be influenced, redirected, or disrupted. Even reality-warping or conceptual attacks that target the mind are rejected outright. This passive ability ensures Blair is never mentally affected by outside forces, no matter their nature. Her will is absolute.

What is Lingam Massage? The Art of Divine Pleasure for Him

Oh, darling, let’s talk about pleasure—the kind that’s equal parts tantalising and transformative. If you’ve ever wondered what it truly means to be worshipped, adored, and indulged in a way that connects your body and soul, then welcome to the world of Lingam Massage. This isn’t your average rubdown, my dear—it’s a sensual, spiritual, and oh-so-exquisite journey into the divine masculine.

So, grab a glass of something bubbly, settle into your most seductive state of mind, and let’s explore why Lingam Massage is the ultimate treat for the man who dares to embrace it.

Lingam Massage: The Lowdown on High Pleasure

First things first: what does "Lingam" even mean? Derived from Sanskrit, Lingam translates to "pillar of light" and is often associated with Shiva, a major deity in Hinduism representing creation and transformation. But let’s not get too scholarly—this is about you and the pillar of light between your legs. Yes, darling, it’s all about celebrating the beauty and power of the male anatomy.

Unlike your average sports massage that kneads your knots into submission, Lingam Massage is a whole-body experience designed to awaken every nerve ending, heighten your senses, and tap into a wellspring of pleasure you didn’t even know existed. It’s sensual, erotic, and deeply relaxing—but let’s not mistake it for a mere handjob with candles. Oh no, this is an art form.

The Seductive Symphony of Sensation

Picture this: soft lighting, silky sheets, and the warm, inviting scent of aromatic oils wafting through the air. You lie down, surrendering to the moment, as your skilled masseuse guides you into a state of bliss. Lingam Massage isn’t rushed; it’s a slow dance where every stroke, glide, and caress is performed with intention.

Here’s the twist: it’s not just about getting to the grand finale (though, spoiler alert, it’s mind-blowing). A Lingam Massage takes you on a journey of tantalising peaks and teasing valleys. The focus is on building arousal while keeping you grounded, ensuring the energy flows throughout your entire body.

Why Every Man Deserves a Lingam Massage

Let’s get cheeky for a moment—when was the last time you really felt worshipped? I’m talking about that all-eyes-on-you, king-of-the-world kind of attention. Lingam Massage isn’t just a physical experience; it’s a psychological game-changer.

Here’s what it does:

Melts Away Stress: The soft, deliberate touch helps release tension you didn’t even know you were holding.

Enhances Sensitivity: With time and care, you’ll rediscover sensations that make you wonder how you lived without this.

Deepens Intimacy: Whether it’s with yourself or a partner, this practice creates a deeper connection to your pleasure.

Boosts Confidence: Feeling adored in this way? Your inner alpha will be purring.

And let’s not forget the pièce de résistance—Lingam Massage can help prolong pleasure and even offer tools to manage energy for better stamina and control. Who wouldn’t want that?

Let’s Talk Technique (Just a Little Tease)

Now, I won’t give away all the secrets—you’ll need to book a session for that—but let me tantalise you with a sneak peek:

The Art of Edging: Your masseuse expertly takes you to the edge of bliss, only to draw you back down, building anticipation like a slow-burn romance.

Sacred Spot Stimulation: Think of it as the male version of a G-spot massage—yes, it’s a thing, and yes, it’s utterly divine.

Featherlight Teasing: Soft, teasing touches that send shivers down your spine and goosebumps across your skin.

Each session is tailored to your unique energy, preferences, and desires, making it a bespoke experience of indulgence.

A Pleasure Revolution Worth Joining

Now, here’s where things get exciting—Lingam Massage isn’t just about you. It’s about reshaping how we think about male pleasure. Forget the old tropes of wham-bam-thank-you-ma’am. This is about redefining masculinity through vulnerability, sensuality, and self-awareness.

And here’s the best part: you don’t have to wait for someone to gift you this experience. You can treat yourself or even learn techniques to share with a partner. Imagine the brownie points you’d rack up for introducing something this mind-blowing to your bedroom repertoire.

Ready to Indulge? Here’s Your Invitation

So, my daring, adventurous friend, are you ready to step into the world of Lingam Massage? Whether you’re seeking relaxation, sensual exploration, or just a cheeky curiosity, this practice promises to deliver in ways you never imagined.

Book a session with a skilled practitioner, explore a workshop to learn the art for yourself, or even treat your lover to a night of divine indulgence. Because pleasure isn’t just a luxury—it’s your birthright.

Go on, darling. Let yourself be adored, celebrated, and thoroughly spoilt. Your pillar of light deserves nothing less. 🌟

Patch May 4th

Well that got away from me a little bit, here's a bargain bin full of small fixes and clarifications. Any substantive change that's not just clearing up wording has bold on it:

Martial Arts involving a melee attack now specify that they inherit the damage type of the weapon you're using - this made sense intuitively anyway, but it was worth being clear

Some minor clarifications on Pin, Shield and Boost Kick so their intent is clear.

Quickload may now be used in conjunction with other Trickshots because otherwise it just kind of sucks

Added the ability for the Drift Technique Stunt to be used with two-wheeled vehicles so you can Akira slide - and do so under that tanker truck that's sideways, but you can only drift for one turn!

The Brake Check and PIT Manoeuvre Stunts can now be used against vehicles up to one weight class above yours because without that they're just Ramming But Worse

Specified that the Gotcha! Stunt refers to you catching people with your vehicle, not reaching out the driver side window to catch people that sounds like it would end badly

The Blend In trait now has an * on the "you can't take this as a Pony" rule because there are exceptions like Palominians but there isn't the space to explain that in the Trait box

Added the Staggered condition to the list of Crowd Control effects on tab 10. It's just reference in case you never read the Martial Arts section

Specified that Aim only benefits the immediately proceeding Action

Specified that Thermocompensator Vest targets Resistance

Changed the notation on special ammo for the Amount of Default ammo to be "-" rather than "Infinite" because that raises more questions than it answers

Specified that the Combat Power Wing does not lose its Cover bonus against Opponents at higher altitudes

Specified that Heelz don't do anything if you're flying

Specified that normal methods of Fall mitigation do not apply to the damage taken in car crashes

Carrying capacity of ASL Encore buffed from L to 0.5. We'll be monitoring this change closely and watching out for any shenanigans that result. We're really trusting the community not to go crazy on this one.

Cargo capacity of F512 Hovercraft nerfed from L to 0. This terror has finally been reined in. I know the F512 mains will have my head for this one but the toxic gameplay that came out of this just had to stop.

Specified what happens with drones regarding Mind & Spirit damage - drones can be disoriented by dazzling attacks, but don't take damage, and they also don't have feelings you can hurt. But also, they don't pass this damage to the pilot in manual mode - I would imagine that someone piloting a drone in combat is expecting gunshots to peak the audio on their device, and has the volume adjusted accordingly. Not the same as getting literally flashbanged yourself.

Broadened the wording on what drone pilots are allowed to take advantage of with an aim action to include Trickshots

Specified that the Martial Staff is compatible with the Target Sprint Routine and also that you spend the stamina for all three spells cast

Specified that After-Image only affects sight and sound, which opens the door for somebody to use an exotic sense to tell it apart

Expanded wording on Simulacrum to specify that it can affect a range of senses (1/rank in spellcraft) but it is phantom and can't push buttons for you

Specified that when using Projection you need to have a sense to be able to deceive or perceive it - you can't use Projection to temporarily gain senses you don't have.

Spelled out on Spirit Blade some of the finnicky details of how it interacts with Martial Arts and Action Economy

Rising Strike reworked to clear up the ambiguity around Fall Damage and streamline the spell a bit more. It now launches equal to Margin of Success instead of a fixed 4 (which means a lot of Rising Strikes are going to be kind of underwhelming but some of them are going to be really impressive), and the ceiling height does NOT affect damage - because if you think about it, getting rocketed into a low ceiling comes with the consolation prize of only falling one floor instead of three. However, there's now a clause that explicitly damages the ceiling if you do that, opening the door (or, the ceiling) for some real matrix kung fu antics where you punch someone into the floor above.

Specified that Steady Heart and Knit Wounds cannot be cast multiple times per short rest

Dragonbreath has had its range buffed from 4 to Cone 4

Shared Burden now times out at 15 minutes so you don't have a Breezie shoulder buddy who makes you ungrapplable forever

Stated explicitly that queued hacks tick down in parallel, not in sequence - parallel was always the intention because Hacking gets comically weak if you need to wait for each one to go off before you start the next one, but apparently this wasn't spelled out

[darklcy]

𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐦𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭 | 𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐲 𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 : armin arlert x reader 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐝 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭 : 2.3k words 𝐭𝐚𝐠𝐬: slow burn, bad language, reader experiences low self esteem, negative habits, skipping meals, lack of sleep. 𝐬𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐲: soldier life is catching up, but almost drowns you in the process. fortunately, you don't have to face it alone. 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬 | 𝐧𝐞𝐱𝐭

Keith Shadis stood at the forest entrance patiently, waiting for the ambush of cadets to line up and commence maneuver gear training. On his mark, he released the trainees free to the skies and into the towers of trees, trailing behind on his own set of gear to inspect, like a hawk tracking its prey. 

Today was dedicated solely to drills and Titan-target practices, as well as a test of endurance and stamina. Lectures upon lectures on maneuver gear safety always repeated themselves before take off, as rules must be obeyed to prevent any measly accidents. 

But all to be focused on right now was losing your sense of reality to the wind and the trees. The satisfactory sensation of feeling weightless to the wires that pulled your body from trunk to trunk. So light and fresh like a leaf floating down to the forest floor. Funny, this machine taught you to kill, and yet it worked so beautifully. You’d never get tired from this.

In the distant right, Sasha’s cackles echoed along the branches, meshing together with Connie’s and Jean’s hollers. Up ahead, the infamous Shiganshina trio grouped together like a pack of wolves. Somewhere far off you could pick up the occasional yell of a stray trainee who’d crash landed. It was during these trying times where trainees who weren’t capable fell out and returned to their homes. 

As you sharply swung along a corner, your sights locked on the familiar wooden cut-out of a fifteen-meter Titan, the nape of the neck clean of wounds. You readied your swords from their sheaths with a pump of gas, boosting acceleration. Arms raised in the air, you prepared yourself. 

A shout escaped your throat as the swords sliced down on the neck, carving a precise cut on the makeshift Titan. The wood tumbled to the dirt below. A perfect kill..!

You almost laughed as you abandoned the Titan to pursue the hunt. Not too far away from the cutout, a zip of wires grew louder from behind. A certain roommate beamed at you as she neared.

“Hey [Y/N]! Mind if I tag along?”

You cocked your head. 

“You just want to latch onto my kills!”

Mina dramatically gasped.

“Can’t we just hangout like the friends we are?”

You pressed on the gas trigger and propelled forward.

“Nope, I don’t trust you.”

Mina huffed at the playful tone in your voice, soon gliding away to resume her hunt elsewhere. 

A little while after the brief encounter, another Titan stood in the distance. The size was a bit shorter this time, standing at around ten-meters, and once again, unscathed nape. 

Seems like luck was at your beckoning today. Gripping onto the swords, you launched your hook grabbles and braced yourself to make the cut. 

SHIIING

…Only for the kill to be stolen.

“Hahaha sorry [Y/N]! Couldn’t resist!”

The hooks released from the cutout and into the tree trunk beside you, allowing you to softly swing as you watched Mina fly away, a trail of steam dissipating behind her. A scoff of disbelief was all you could muster.

What the fuck? 

╭── ⋅ ⋅ ── ✩ ── ⋅ ⋅──╮

End results noted a total of seven Titan kills. 

A comparable score, considering the hunting was done solo. 

“We managed to get ten kills! Not to mention, when we’d split up, we covered more ground. A success, I’d say.”

Connie bragged while Sasha enthusiastically ate her porridge, lifting a spoon to emphasize his point. Jean made a scene to stick his nose into the conversation.

“Allow me to add that I got a higher score on technique, so if you need any maneuver gear lessons, I’m your guy.”

Connie swatted at his chest.

“Shut up, you wish.”

You heard Mina giggle beside you. Her elbow gently nudged your side.

“Did you hear how much Mikasa got? Thirteen.”

Thirteen..?

“Holy shit, really?”

Connie barged in from across the table.

“Yes! She’s amazing.”

Sasha planted her palms onto the wood to lean in. 

“I saw her in action! She flies so fast, it’s like you can barely see her coming.”

Jean’s face warmed noticeably. “She’s incredible.”

The group unanimously agreed. Mikasa denied the laws of nature and succeeded in winning at any obstacle thrown at her. Some theorized she wasn’t human. 

You threw a glance her way. Such straight posture, no hint of life beside the occasional blink, calmly eating her meal like she was at the King’s tea time. Where every cadet appeared exhausted, her skin radiated without any bruises, sweat, and dirt. Maybe she was non-human. 

A frown weighs the corners of your mouth when you turn back to your dinner.

 Seven gets lost in thirteen.

WHAM

Your spine smacked the rough clay as you tumbled ridiculously, legs falling over your head when it came to a stop. Annie was a ferocious partner, not breaking a single worry in this pitiful battle you were putting up. Throwing a leg over your waist, pinning you to the Earth, she jabs the wooden knife into your chest.

“I win.”

You blinked a few times. All you could respond with was a weak groan. 

The girl doesn’t hold out a hand to help you get up. Instead, she saunters off to find a new opponent, one more worthy of a fight, you presumed. Rolling to your stomach, the tension in your thighs feel like it could snap. You shakily stand back up.

“She’s a tough one.”

Reiner towers over your shoulder with hands on his hips. You notice him watching the said girl with an unreadable expression. He claps a palm on your shoulder. It almost knocks you over.

“You okay?”

You nod. “..M’ fine.”

“Don’t be too harsh on yourself. I can see it happening already.”

He points with his chin towards Annie again. 

“She wins against everyone. She’s just strong like that.”

Strong.

“Huh..”

You feel him give your back two heavy pats. 

“You got this.”

He stomps away after that. Watching him leave, that same frown comes back. 

..

“[Y/N], did you see what happened today? I was training with Connie, and we came up with this new fighting technique! I swear it’s like we can read each other’s minds or something.”

All you could hear was noise, loud, blatant noise. Sasha plopped your bread in her mouth. You didn’t even notice.

“Also, last night I had the strangest dream. I was back home in the forest, and I was hunting game with my father like the ol’ days, but then this huge bear came out of nowhere…and then…”

The Dauper girl’s story faded through your ears into the files of your brain. Dinner had gone cold by now, your silverware limp in your hold. The bowl of vegetable stew encaptured your gaze in a trance, and if you looked away you were sure to be cursed.

“Hey, you alright?”

Mina gently caressed your shoulder, breaking you free from hypnosis.

“Yeah, yeah..I’m fine.”

Your words dripped with uncertainty. Both tablemates frowned, but nonetheless carried on with their meal. Spooning up a bit of soup, you grimaced when you swallowed. Cold..

╭���─ ⋅ ⋅ ── ✩ ── ⋅ ⋅──╮

Seven knocks down to two or three in the passing weeks. The downturn of lips becomes more permanent than temporary. More bruises and wounds make home underneath your uniform. And somehow at the end of the day, the exhaustion feels more intense than the day before. 

A cadet’s routine was never advertised as glamorous, but everywhere you looked, no one else appeared to be drowning. The break in the water was close, just an arm’s length away if you stretched hard enough. The waves swarmed your body with a strong turbulence, but you kept pushing and pushing, fingertips raised above to graze the surface.

 And for a moment you can breathe, a deep inhale relieving your lungs from the strain of water…but it’s in that bliss when the water controls you again, pulling you deeper into an abyss.

Shadis imprinted the hairs on your neck to forever remain stiff, on edge and paranoid for more lecturing and criticism. In the midst of your drowning, did the man see the effort? Was this war amongst yourself just in your head, an illusion, or did he perceive the strength you were desperately wanting? Craving?

The mystery is frustrating. 

….

The empty room draws a deep frown. The bunks usually covered in strewn blankets, harness straps and roommates gossiping were vacant and darkened with the night. Your eyebrows furrow, a puff of air flowing out your nose. The room felt wrong without the presence of comrades. Stepping out of the cabin, the door closes with a creak. 

The wooden steps became the next best solace as you perched yourself at the top, arms wrapping around pulled up knees, chin resting on top. The mess hall served as a beacon of light compared to the isolated bubble you resided in. Through the warm toned windows you could see the cadets enjoying themselves with the same vegetable stew and loaf of bread that was prepared each night. 

…Maybe this time alone was a blessing in disguise. Perhaps that’s what you needed. A break from all the noise. 

Raising your hands to rest on your head, your eyelids drooped until they closed, weariness grabbing the reins. A distant cry of crickets join you in the dark, their chorus bellowing beyond the pitch black forest. Behind shut doors, the moon glistens her rays on your skin like a comforting embrace, welcoming you to raise your head and let her caress your face. 

It’s tempting. Her touch is soft and gentle, approaching you carefully as if not to spook you. 

“...[Y/N]..?”

It threatens the emotion in your chest. Her spotlight paints the reminder of your solidarity on the wooden steps. And yet she’s pushing you, cheering you on from her place in the sky. With that, she briefly leaves, the clouds swooping in to conceal her light.

Your face rolls over on your knees, cheek now smushed against sleeves. 

“[Y/N]?”

…?

Has she come back?

Your eyes meet blue as you lift your head. 

…The blonde stood uncomfortably a few feet away from the porch. His fingers pulled at his sleeves before his arms decided to cross behind his back. His eyes, so large and worried, blinked at you in rhythms; twice, once, twice, once.

You blinked back.

“...Hey, Armin.”

He glances to the beacon of light.

“Aren’t you heading to dinner..?”

Your hand falls to dangle by your shoe.

“..Not tonight. I’m not hungry.”

He pops his knuckles at his sides. 

“You sure? Skipping meals isn’t good for you..”

“I’m sure.”

His frown deepens. 

You’ve nestled back into your home already, staring upon the shadows filtering throughout the camp. 

..His footsteps trudge over to the steps, and you face him when he sits beside you, body position matching yours. Armin lost his stare into the forest, fingers tapping sporadically from where they laid over his biceps. He doesn’t mind that you observe him. 

You followed him into the trees and rested there, the wind and crickets harmonizing in a beautiful symphony. 

Armin was a calm in the storm type of person. His best friend seemed to speak for three, never afraid to holler his frustrations, but on the other side of the spectrum lay this boy, the polite boy who loved to read. He’d apologize for existing, apologize for taking up space, before he ever sat down to introduce himself. 

“You’re easy to watch.”

It took everything in you to not choke. Armin instantly panicked.

“I-In training, I mean..! When we’re doing drills? Combat drills?”

His words puddled out in a hurry, the skin of his cheeks blaring bright red. 

"Pfft.."

“I just mean, you’re impressive! Or, inspiring? I uh, I’m not good at that stuff, so-,”

Your sudden boisterous laughter made him freeze. Armin couldn’t see your face anymore now that it was ducked over your thighs, shoulders trembling with cackles. Your arms caressed your aching stomach as if it could cease the attack, but it just kept advancing. 

“Uh…”

Finally rising off your thighs, you swooped in deep breaths to calm your heartbeat, a couple giggles escaping here and there.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to make you laugh..”

You waved him off with a hand. 

“No, no, don’t be. I liked it.”

His face was a never ending tomato. Now it looked like he was sweating a bit. 

“But, what you were saying…you watch me?”

Armin smacked both palms to his face. “I was trying to compliment your skills, but I apologize that it came off as stalkerish.”

Another wave of laughs pass through your smile. “It didn’t, it just caught me really off guard.”

He reveals his blue eyes to you again. “That’s good, I guess..”

Your expression slightly dims when you turn away from him.

“Well, thank you.”

Armin’s lips part, but then close.

Wafting through the crevices, the moon rejoins you on the steps, this time encasing Armin in her light. By now, the mess hall was dismissed, sending cadets off to bed to end the day and rest for tomorrow. 

“Guess dinner’s over..”

His comment reawakes your reality, that tomorrow brings new hardships and restless nights. It makes you wince.  

“I’m gonna..head off to bed.”

He twists to you while you stand. He’s caught in perplexity, you can see it clearly, but his mouth doesn’t move.

“...Goodnight, Armin.”

Armin perks up.

“For sure..! See you tomorrow.”

He rises to his feet and moves down the steps in a swift motion, his blonde hair vanishing the further he walks away.

His departure has you glued to the entrance door, hand wrapped around the handle but still staring off the direction Armin went. Your brows worry themselves on your forehead, unsure to be confused, sad, or drowsy.

Hauling the door open, you decide the latter.
