#Thread (Zeke and Claire)

[theluckyonerp]

Where: The university Who: Zeke and Claire (@chaosandcrimson )

He was in the middle of one of his classes. He didn't give lectures often but on this day we was giving a lecture on the differences in choices actors make and how their meanings can change based on the action. "So you see how two actor's can make the simple line 'Why didn't you go with her' so different. That emotion that they think the character is feeling in that moment. Neither one is the wrong choic-!" He froze when his eyes locked with hers in the door way. It was like seeing her for the first time again. Everything went silent, even the ticking clock above the board. He felt the tears already forming in his eyes. Quickly he snapped out of it. "-uh...that's- that's a good stopping point. Class dismissed." He let the class file out before he addressed her "What are you doing here Claire..." he wiped his cheek. Hoping she wouldn't see the tears.

Chapter 3 - War Father Duma

Part 3 - The Dragon’s Maw, Mount Dragonsblight

Duma’s teachings were not the sole reason as to why Rigel was an empire of knights, built with war and battle as its backbone. For a country to establish itself as a country, the people must also consider its natural environment. To the Rigelians, the emperor’s castle was Rigel, and Rigel was the emperor’s castle. To protect it, they utilized not only man-made structures, but the land itself - specifically, the mountains that made up the mountain range cutting off the castle from the world below, the rugged landscape surrounding the castle, and most of all, the natural fortress standing in the way of the one path to the castle - The Dragon’s Maw, considered to be hell on earth. 

Though of course, it is only hell on earth to those who dare attempt to attack the castle. 

The suffocating plumes of sulfur smoke and unbearable heat that saps away at one’s energy only assault those who approach the castle with intent to harm it. In exchange for their vows of loyalty, the knights that travel to and from the castle, are granted safe passage up and down The Dragon’s Maw.

And the best path to take changes day to day. The best route one day may be the most dangerous the next. If a knight of Rigel shows even a hint of intent to betray their country, then such daily changes in the mountain’s behavior will quickly kill them.

The Newly Reborn Knights of Zofia’s newest recruit, the loyal and brave General Zeke, as a loyal vassal of Emperor Rudolf, of course knew several paths through The Dragon’s Maw. He led them to the newest path he’d received reports about and was overjoyed when he realized it was safe for them.

“I knew it! Emperor Rudolf is leading Alm to the castle. The fact that the safest path is not changing is proof of that.” Such was Zeke’s logic.

It was a steep and narrow path, but continued to remain safe as they traveled down it. From where they were now, the waterfall in the distance was so hazy it looked like several white, unraveling threads. For the Knights of Rigel, it was the landmark that reassured them they would finally make it back to the castle. If they could see it as well, Zeke’s five Paladins would have also felt their hearts race with excitement, but they were waiting with Delthea and Tatiana at the village for the Knights of Zofia’s return.

Zeke turned around and said, “We’re almost there!” to speed them up. 

The rock beneath Alm’s feet crumbled and tumbled down the mountain, perhaps as a bad omen of what was to come. The first among them to notice the eerie presence nearby was Clair’s falcon, walking alongside everyone with her wings folded up because she couldn’t fly through the sulfur smoke. She shook her nose as if she was about to sneeze, and pulled on her reins in Clair’s hands.

When Clair whirled around to pat her head and tell her to keep quiet, at first, she couldn’t believe what she saw. It looked like a dark cloud of sulfur smoke hanging over their head, but upon closer inspection, it was clearly in the shape of a dragon.

“Necrodragon!” Silque shrieked. 

She was the only person amongst them who knew what a Necrodragon was, but even she had never seen one with her own eyes before. Even Zeke was learning for the first time exactly why this mountain was called The Dragon’s Maw.

As they had never fought this kind of Terror before, Alm first shifted into a defensive stance. Tobin and Python immediately shot at it with their crossbows, but their attacks proved useless as their arrows flew straight through the Necrodragon’s body and whizzed across the sky.

“I’ll fly up to it!” Clair said, but the sulfur smoke above them would not allow her to. 

Alm did not sense any sign from the Necrodragon that it was looking for a fight. ‘Maybe it’ll let us pass it by.’ He thought.

Zeke seemed to have the same idea as well, as he was trying to hide his presence as much as possible.

And they were right. The Necrodragon did not show any interest in attacking them. However, they realized just a moment later that their troubles were far from over.

They were about to wish that the Necrodragon had attacked them. Only having to defeat a Necrodragon would have been the best case scenario. 

As the Necrodragon suddenly stretched its wings and flew towards them, the mountain shook violently, then the cliff above them crumbled into boulders that fell and blocked their path forward.

Since they were determined not to retreat, they thought that the Necrodragon was finally attacking them. However, as it turned around on its wings, more boulders fell to block their path back down the mountain, then it flew away.

At first, everyone was so shocked that they all froze.

“You think you can scare me?!”  Python said with so much venom it was as if he was chanting a curse.

Deep down, though, he was immediately hit with the same feeling of true fear that everyone else was. Not even a Necrodragon could possibly invoke such an emotion.

Their path up the mountain was blocked. Their path down the mountain was blocked. They thought briefly that maybe they could scale the boulders, but quickly realized just how naive they were to even consider it.

Once they started to climb, they would immediately be assaulted by the rising plumes of sulfur. If they tried to travel down the cliff they were standing on, they would fall into an entire sea of sulfur. Only this one path was a safe tunnel through the smoke. No matter which direction they went in, they would meet the same fate. There was nowhere for them to go.

Zeke fell to his knees and screamed, “How could this happen?!”

‘Is Emperor Rudolf not actually allowing Alm to enter the castle? Did he never intend to invite him at all? Or is he trying to kill me alongside Alm…?’

To prove that things could get even worse, the wall of smoke was closing in on them. Taking in even a single breath of it would immediately fill their lungs with sulfur. And with the path they thought was safe blocked off, the temperature of the geothermal heat around them was starting to rise to a dangerous high.

As sulfur filled their throats and the heat sapped the water out of their bodies, first Gray collapsed, then Clive, Mathilda, and Python. Silque swiftly cast Physic on them, but they were so weak and she was so weak that she couldn’t keep up.

Perhaps this was certain proof that Nomah’s sudden realization in Halycon’s forest about this war was right - that Mila and Duma really were trying to destroy everything and start over.

Even Alm would be no exception to the hell on earth that was The Dragon’s Maw to those who tried to attack Rigel Castle. The Knights of Zofia would meet their untimely end here.

[Game]

I’m heading on inside the Thief’s Shrine now to beat up some fruity exp bandits and recruit this holy plot importantz lady.

If Tobin goes archer in this playthrough, then I’m going to be happy because he’s going to need that SKL to flippin’ hit stuffs.

Awesome!  Kliff’s shaping up to be surprisingly—

What the froggy fuck?  Again?  Twice in a row?

Is this game trying to bless me or make my life harder down the road...?

Alm gets Role Model points for continuing to be an aspiration for the sweet kiddo.

I’m not quite sure how to train/deal with Kliff as a unit yet, but I’ll level him decently for now.  At least he can promote at this point.

Alm and Luckas both get luck.

The last squeezed in level ups from the first dungeon encounter.

Only two whole lines and the author gave her such a huge, important role in the story, god damn.  I find that vastly impressive.  I sincerely wish we got more of her angle in Shadows of Valentia in one manner or another.

Just for funsies, I decide to go up to the Mila Statue and see what the game’s RNG first class picks suggested.  I got: Mercenary Kliff, Cavalier Tobin, and Soldier Gray.  

Now it’s hellbent on Merc Kliff, Archer Tobin, and Mage Gray after 5 more times of talking to the statue-thing.

Anyway, I stop goofing around since I didn’t confirm any classes for them — least not juuuust yet.  I will only proceed after I dig out what the novel has them promoted into...

Chapter 1 - Liberation Army Part 1-3: Mysterious Girl Silque

[ Warnings for mild blood. ]

Clair’s capture and Mathilda’s disappearance following it are still unknown to Lukas, that it may be too much to bear once learned.  Escaping from Mycen’s eyes, they set to march from Ram without waiting for dawn, not getting any sleep.  They stop to rest north of the woods because Lukas’ legs were sore and the three villagers were starting to lag behind, Alm was able to keep up the pace without delay.  Straight north is the coastal cave and they felt an evil aura from it.  Alm explains the burglary problem, which was why he accused Lukas of being one, since their hideout was so close by.  Within moments, shadows dart out from the bushes and surround them.  The thieves put up a fight until screams were heard, two bandits were killed the remaining four grew cowardly and ran away in the direction of the cave.

Lukas, Alm, Gray, and Tobin take off after them.  Kliff watches then talks to himself in a quiet yet heavy voice.  “I know Alm’s tragedy, no one can change his destiny.  It will be a huge tragedy that will impact the world.”

Kliff heard stones falling from inside the cave and he went in the rift, the cold, damp air was felt in the darkness and he could not see, Suddenly there’s a flame in close proximity from a torch held by a hand. The first thing he saw was a girl’s face being illuminated, and there’s a bandit holding her hostage with an arm around her neck, threatening to kill the priestess if he took another step. When Kliff did hesitantly move a little, the bandit makes a display by pressing the dagger’s edge to the girl’s throat that he was serious about the death threat.  Immediately, Kliff drives his sword into the bandit’s thick arm, forcing him to let go of the poor priestess who then hid in the dark and ran away.  The torch’s flame blew out as the burglar and Kliff got engaged in a fight.  The thief slashed his dagger into Kliff’s stomach giving him a deep cut and at the same time Kliff manages to knock the enemy down, disarming him.  Ignoring the pain and the bleeding, Kliff went over quickly to slam the hilt of his blade against the back of the bandit’s head to dispose of him, then Kliff collapses on the ground.

The girl comes back out, rushing over to Kliff’s side.  She says her name in a prayer in the service of Mila and to get Mila’s protection upon the injured villager to heal him.  A ball of light surround Kliff and he was surprised to see no scar remaining on his belly after Silque was done with her white magic. The others show up after defeating the bandits from where they were and went to thank Silque for her assistance.  Tobin says helping a priestess is the highest honor.  She volunteers to go with them as a Sister of Mila which was met with refusal from Lukas who warns her that liberating Zofia is their mission, that if she doesn’t want to lose her life in the conflict, it’s best to stay out of it.  He also brings up that she may also be an enemy. Gray grabs at Lukas, hoisting him off the ground with his strength, yelling at him they should bring her along because she helped heal Kliff and she would be a valuable vitality to the team.  

Silque politely interrupts, thanking them for their thoughts and concerns, she explains that she got there due to the Mila Shrine deep within the cave and she was visiting to do her duties as a priestess.

She guides them further inside to an area dimly lit by sunlight through the small peephole through the rocky side.  The morning sun’s light sweeps in softly like snow, illuminating a Mila statue and two springs by the base.  Silque goes over to the fountain to turn the hand knobs and calls Gray up to be first.

Gray decides on the battle path of a knight and cleanses his hands in the fountain water as per the ritual.  Silque starts the rite with a chant - in power and will, may Gray rise as a knight in the blessings of Mila and Duma.

(Yes, Duma. 「ミラとドーマ」is in there in the text.)

Threads of light begin to wrap around Gray like a yarn ball until it looks like a full cocoon.  There are faint screams and the underside of the light cocoon gets stained with blood. One of Gray’s muscle tendons were cut as a mid-process side effect of taking in the blessings (it gets fully healed afterward).  Silque summons a horse.  Gray comes off the stage with a more beefed up body fitting of a knight’s stature. 

(Don’t ask me what the bloody hell happened with Gray.  I thought he was getting turned into a centaur while reading it...)

Tobin and Kliff both get up on the stage after Gray, going into the rituals one after another.  Tobin decides on the bow style, blessing him the way of an archer.  There’s a tormented feeling going high-speed in his dominant arm’s muscles that only last some moments.  Kliff wishes for magical ability and prowess, making him a mage.  Cliff gets a sharp headache that was difficult to bear with until it was over.  They step away from the stage to get a feel for their newly adjusted bodies and group hug each other and celebrate in joy.

Lukas puts his hands together to pledge in silence, sending a prayer where he swears to free Zofia.  Silque cleanses her hands for the fourth time and looks over to Alm, asking him if he will also volunteer for the promotion.  Alm does not answer as he and the statue stone are having a staring contest, and he feels it deep within his gut that it is not that time yet.  He wasn’t fascinated by the pain of the promotions, and he doesn’t fault his friends for their desperation [on wanting to gain power and will]. Alm believes that initiation came from either the Mila’s servant or the Goddess herself, so he listens to it and tells Silque this.  

The morning sunlight gets blocked from the outside from falling rain.  Silque has some symbolism monologue about rain equating either the heaven’s joyful tears or the rain of sadness over Alm’s future and believes it may be the latter. She reminisces on the reason she swore herself as a Sister of Mila - it is to protect Zofia and the Mother.  She then tells him, “Sir Alm is a special person, I vow to serve him for life.”

Kliff watches Silque’s expression with unease, he casts his gaze downwards and chews on his fingers.  In the cultural custom of Ram Village, it is a behavioural sign of jealousy and troubled love.

[Game]

I’m going to cheer on for Kliff becoming a strong boy.  He hurt a damn man.

Okay!  So I’ll go promote Kliff into Mage, Tobin into Archer, and Gray into...

. . .

?fuck the What.|What the fuck?

But.

Wait...

This knight... 

Freshly Buff Binch On Mila Steroids gets a horse.

Stay tuned on: How long will I use him as a unit for when Mathilda and Zeke exist?

The being in pain from getting promoted thing makes some sort of sense when you factor in the gameplay stat gains, so I guess that’s what’s going on there.

Doesn’t look like stat booster springs were used, so it’s freedom of my choosing.  I won’t use them yet until I pick up Clair and do some grinding.

For their promo gains:

Mage Kliff gets +1 SKL, +2 SPD, and +6 HP.

Archer Tobin gets +1 STR and +1 HP.

Knight Gray gets +1 SPD.

Posting these stats for reference to compare for when I go grind.

＊Note: Chapter 2 covers Celica’s departure, so I’ll be skipping it to Chapter 3 where it starts with Clair’s rescue.  I’ll get back to Chapter 2 for Act 2.

[markoftheasphodel]

Now that the initial hype/counter-deflation cycle for FE15 has passed, reading criticism of what the game’s storytelling did wrong is slightly more interesting. Browsing a reddit thread about a one dropped plot point today I noticed a poster with whom I have some sympathy (they’re a Finn/Brigid shipper) say not only that Echoes was too constrained by the plot framework of Gaiden (a common enough complaint) but that Rise of the Deliverance indicated “the story that [the devs] truly wanted to tell.”

That stuck with me, in part because with regard to OG Gaiden I found Team Celica more interesting than Team Alm while the reverse was true in Echoes despite the presence of standouts like Mae and Saber on Team Celica, not to mention my beloved Pegasisters. I’d chalked a lot of that up to the fact that I simply had more headcanons wrt Celica’s crew that Echoes was able to violate and had virtually no strong feelings about Team Alm beyond the Tobin-Gray-Clair thing and Zeke/Tatiana and was thus more receptive to the Echoes developments.

But maybe that poster is onto something, and the relative success of the Berkut&Fernand subplot (mixed bag, more good than bad) vs the Masked Paladin one (no thanks), not to mention the very existence of Rise of the Deliverance as opposed to the backstory of anything else in Valentia would indicate something more significant than “My feefees for OG Team Celica were hurt by New Canon.”

It’s not the glaring “side characters just hijacked the g-damned plot” one sees in Chapters 7-9 of FE4 (followed by the sequel Plot Hijackers Got Their Own G-Damned Game), but yeah there may be a bit of that going on with the Deliverance. Maybe more than a bit.

[gascon-en-exil]

markoftheasphodel said

Would you say that overall the queer content in FE15 is kind of playing to stereotypes? Also are there lesbians?

That depends on if you’re talking about Leon or (maybe) Python I suppose, though just having possibly more than one gay character makes stereotypes more palatable. We won’t just have one character needing to represent an entirely sexuality/identity, which is a big reason why the way even localized FE14 handled...all its queer characters rubbed many people the wrong way. Leon’s a little odd to me since I was under the impression that the effeminate gay stereotype didn’t really exist in Japanese culture, but it’s undoubtedly there in the Japanese dialogue (he worries about what being on a ship will do to his skin and hair) and in stuff like his animations (he blows kisses to defeated opponents). But hey, feminine gay guys do exist in real life, and if we’re inclined to view campiness as a negative trait or as bad representation it’s more the fault of that image of gay men being perpetuated so much. Python still exists and is probably also gay, maybe, and I’m not even going to make definite calls about Valbar, Forsyth, or Lukas yet, so Leon can easily afford to be more fey than Niles. Also, the idea of Python being an incorrigible gay flirt who’s practically looking up these guys on Grindr as he’s talking to them is incredibly amusing, and since FE has had basically every other iteration of flirt before (including a lesbian, a gold digger, male and female bisexuals, and a yaoi fangirl...for a broad definition of “flirt” with that last one)

Of course the flip side of that skewed gender ratio is that there are very few female characters in FE15 who don’t end up married or other romantically entangled with a man. Going through the playable cast:

Faye - so obsessed with her Alm that even her Silque support is about her obsession with Alm. She marries someone in her village but is still clearly unhinged.

Silque - linked to Jesse in a memory fragment, though their endings don’t mention anything further between them. Depending on how Silque/Faye gets localized (if Faye’s obsession gets toned down, basically), I could possibly see something here.

Clair - marries Grey unless he dies, in which case she remains single. According to TVTropes her shipping her brother with Mathilida so strongly has led to Clair/Mathilda developing a following, though as Clair also has an unrequited crush on Alm and has Tobin pining for her her plate is already pretty full.

Delthea - is most definitely jailbait so there’s that, and she gets married in her ending where she didn’t in Gaiden.

Mathilda - marries Clive unless he dies, in which case she remains single.

Tatiana - marries Zeke unless he dies, in which case she marries an unnamed man. The second marriage is new to the remake.

Celica - marries Alm, though I guess you could manage something between her and Mae?

Mae - marries Boey unless he dies, in which case she remains single.

Genny - marries an unnamed man in her ending, which is apparently implied somewhere (not sure where, possibly in Gaiden) to be Saber whose ending similarly references an unnamed wife. Their endings aren’t affected by the death of the other, however, and they don’t support each other or give bonuses.

Palla, Catria, and Est - return to their romantic plot threads back in Archanea, which I’d have to look up the wiki since I’ve yet to play FE3/12. Catria is the original Catria, obviously, but I believe Palla and Est get involved with the Christmas knights in some arrangement.

Sonya - has no romantic ties that I know of, though her ending is rather grim and doesn’t really leave much room for anything.

I can see one or two places where the foundation for F/F pairings could exist, but unlike with the guys you’d have to work for it. Maybe the localization will surprise us on this score as well?

WINTER WONDERLAND

Much to the surprise of the entire residency of Red Creek, Christmas and New Year passed, it what can only be described as a thoroughly uneventful fashion. Though there were parties galore, and drama to be found around every turn, it was merely the kind of drama you’d expect to find around that time of year. There were family arguments over the dinner table, I mean sure - maybe not every family draw a shotgun on each other, but not everybody’s brother just found out he’s a werewolf. There were lovers tiffs at parties because it’s the worst feeling when you finally find your boyfriend in the crowd of people and he has someone else lipstick on his collar - or maybe it was blood? There were missing people reports, robberies and a few reports of burnt Christmas puddings and broken hearts on New Years Eve, but nobody died - well, almost nobody, Mean Old Man Herbert finally whispered one final ‘Stay off my lawn’ before passing away peacefully in his sleep at the beginning of the coldest winter Red Creek has witnessed in a hundred years; but look on the bright side, Kids are now free to play on his lawn without fear!

Speaking of the coldest winter in a hundred years, the snow storms of Red Creek did not cease over the holiday period, much the opposite - to the dismay of the entire town who found it harder and harder to go about their day to day lives as the snow piled up around them. Eventually, the roads out of town became too treacherous to drive on, leaving residents trapped yet again, but if only they’d known that was far from the worst to come. Weeks passed and the town eventually ran out of salt to grit the roads and the sidewalks, people gave up shoveling their paths, many even gave up trying to leave the house entirely. The town came to a standstill, yet the storm raged on. Situations hit a critical point earlier in the week when the entire town lost power, knocked out by the heavy snowfall - officials said nobody could get out to them to do repairs until the storm stopped, and the snow melted.

The Mayor and the Sheriff pooled together all available resources and split them across three locations around town that were known to have backup generators; the Hospital, the High School, and the Sheriff’s Department. Word was sent out that those that were still able should make their way to one of these three locations immediately, for shelter, food, and warmth. The residents made their way to the three safety points in dribs and drabs, some headed out immediately - wasting no time, not wanting to get stuck in their ice cold homes, others made their way a few days later as the temperature dropped below zero, and others had yet to be seen or heard of.

But with the winds picking up outside and the temperature continuing to drop, even those that had found sanctuary with the generators were beginning to feel the cold. The town found themselves huddling together freezing, wondering if this storm would ever let up.

And then there were the rumors of a house, just off Main street, who’s lights were still on… another generator?

Welcome to January’s event - starting a little differently this time round, we’ll jump in mid-event, so to speak, in the midst of the action. Your characters will be at one of the three generator locations, and will be listed below. Please try to interact with as many new characters that you might not have spoken to before during this time.

It should also be noted that some species will be effected by the cold more so that others:

Tetra’s will deteriorate quickly, they cannot rely on frozen water and the drop in temperature will have dried out all moisture in the air.  

Reapers will also find themselves in a worse condition, due to already running at a lower than average temperature, they will be the first to suffer not to mention that they are still a mortal creature.

All other mortal creatures that run at a normal temperature (Human, Witch, Banshee, Hunter, Imps and Shapeshifters) will be effected by the cold, but less rapidly.

Werewolves and Phoenixes naturally run at a higher temperature and therefore will find they can withstand the cold for longer than most.

Vampires are immortal, and though they cold cannot kill them, and will effect them slower, they will start to deteriorate.

Ghosts have no physical body and are therefore unaffected by the cold.

Also please note that not everyone would have heard the rumor about the house with the lights on to start with, a search party will be chosen later in the event (by the admins) to go and check it out. Please feel free to message us if you are interested in being involved.

The event will start 17/01/17 @ 11:59PM GMT and end on 21/01/17 @ 11:59PM GMT

Remember, put a hold on all pre event threads, you may pick them up again once the event has finished. Also remember the three starter rule still applies, so once there are three starters posted for each group you must answer them before posting your own! Tag starters with: bloodshedstarter & your character’s location. Also make sure to run any major plots by the main for admin approval. But most importantly, HAVE FUN!

Claire didn't immediately turn around when he reached for her, but she did stay still; fighting the urge to cry while also trying to get her breathing under control. It felt like her heart might burst out of her chest, but for the first time since she stepped into the room, she felt hope. Because she could see glimpses of the man she knew he was.

"Okay," she said softly, hesitating before turning around and pressing a quick kiss to his cheek. "Take care of yourself, Zeke." With a lingering touch, she stepped back and left.

"Seeing you today took the wind right out of my chest Claire" he said quickly. "I'm not.... giving up I just-" he tried to think of how to phrase this "Sorry is all I have to give right now....there are a Million things I want to say to you...." He took a step towards her and reached out to her arm "there are are million things I want to say and nearly all of them are the wrong thing." His voice was soft and shaky "Just let me get my mind straight, and I promise we'll figure this out."

He dropped his hand and took a step back. Nodding he looked at her with his own tear filled eyes. "Okay...uh goodbye Claire...*

Claire wanted to feel better when he apologised. Before this very moment, she had thought that she would feel better if she could at least get some closure from what happened. But standing there in front of Zeke, staring at the man she had been utterly convinced she was going to spend the rest of her life with, all she felt was exhausted. It was exhausting fighting for a relationship that he had already seemingly given up on. "Yeah," she said simply, feeling all of the fight leave her body as she blinked away her tears, her tone a mixture of disbelief and resignation. "Yeah, I'm sorry too. I'm sorry that I spent months agonising over why I couldn't stop you from leaving. I'm sorry that I came here expecting more from the man I spent ten whole years with. I'm sorry that you threw away a decade long relationship and all you can say to me is fucking sorry."

She turned to leave, but stopped halfway out of the room. "Do you want to be the man everyone thinks you are?" she asked without turning around. "Then put in the fucking work. Until then, I guess we don't really have anything to talk about."

As their arguments always went she was right. He should have, but he panicked. Despite what happened at the party he should have just stayed and explained to Claire what he had heard. Why it was the last straw from him. But he didn't. He beat up the leading man and ran home packing. He did love Claire, More than life itself, she was- Is his world and he always said there could be a million people in the Audience at a show but he only cared about her. But when push came to shove he folded "I'm sorry Claire..." It was all he could say. When she pulled her hand away from his arm he wanted it back. He wanted her back but he was in no position to ask that of her. He looked down and away from her. If she cried he knew he would start crying. "I'm sorry I'm not the man everyone thinks I am..."

Claire was used to Zeke being a little dramatic—he was an actor, after all. But in the decade that they had been together they had never been on such different pages before. She was starting to wonder if they were even in the same book now. "I expect you to talk to me like a man who claimed that he loved me for ten years of my life," she replied, letting go of his arm as she felt tears start to form in her eyes. She couldn't tell if she was crying from anger or sadness or both. "Yeah, what happened wasn't great. And I would prefer if it didn't happen again. But instead of talking to me, and trying to figure it out together, you bailed!" She took a deep breath. "You know, out of all of the things I've thought of you, I never once thought that you were a coward. Until now."

"Yeah, because I've been really looking forward to that 'fucking spaghetti'. And I'm hungry and you know how I get when I'm hungry!!" His tone wasn't angry just kinda that of an annoyed teenager "what do you expect me to do Claire? Tell you I miss you? That I'm sorry? That these past few months have been hell because I haven't been apart from you this long since we started dating and its killing me?"

Her touch was enough to send him spiraling, Almost caving in as his heart picked up in his chest. He wanted nothing more to pretend that nothing happened and go back to normal. but that night kept replaying in his head "And what if I do go back Claire? How long till another creep tries to hurt you, and I punch a guy because he oversteps with you..."

"Yeah, you told me that, didn't ask how I felt about it, and then ran away," Claire shot back, crossing her arms over her chest indignantly. Her gaze dropped to the phone in Zeke's hand, but she barely had time to react to the fact that he had actually gotten a new phone before he was opening his mouth again, saying even more things that she couldn't believe he had the audacity to say. "That's it? I chase you down to Dallas and all you're gonna tell me is that you think they're serving fucking spaghetti for lunch?"

Holding his gaze, she reached to grab his arm to prevent him from leaving. "Yeah, I should be in New York. But do you know who else should be in New York? You."

He looked pack at her with a raised brow "we broke up Claire and I left to get some space. And you need someone in your life that won't complicate things and not be in the way of your successes...I told you this months ago..." he shrugged and moved away to start packing his things "I'm pretty sure this is part where I'm suppose to say 'New phone who dis?'" he pulled out a new phone and waved it in his hand. "I don't know what you want from me Claire...coming out here? You should be in New York...getting ready for your next show or whatever. And I...need to get lunch. I think they're serving spaghetti today."

Claire was aware that showing up to Zeke's lecture unannounced was a tad dramatic. But in her defence, he hadn't really left her with a lot of other options. Waiting for the class to file out, she offered a few of his students a polite smile when they glanced at her curiously, before stepping inside the now empty classroom. "What am I doing here?" she asked incredulously, looking at him like she couldn't quite understand how he had the audacity to ask. "Well, I would have phoned ahead to let you know that I was coming, but... You've been ignoring my calls and texts for several months. So."

Where: The university Who: Zeke and Claire (@chaosandcrimson )

He was in the middle of one of his classes. He didn't give lectures often but on this day we was giving a lecture on the differences in choices actors make and how their meanings can change based on the action. "So you see how two actor's can make the simple line 'Why didn't you go with her' so different. That emotion that they think the character is feeling in that moment. Neither one is the wrong choic-!" He froze when his eyes locked with hers in the door way. It was like seeing her for the first time again. Everything went silent, even the ticking clock above the board. He felt the tears already forming in his eyes. Quickly he snapped out of it. "-uh...that's- that's a good stopping point. Class dismissed." He let the class file out before he addressed her "What are you doing here Claire..." he wiped his cheek. Hoping she wouldn't see the tears.
