Vanilla graciously took the flask that was offered to her and took a quick drink before sitting down on an upturned rood right next to Tali as he told her about the Bastion and its people. It was a pretty thorough explanation, and while she did have some questions about some minute details, it was very clearly that Tali had a love of the people he grew up with and took his duties very seriously. She did have to wonder exactly when he had been taken timewise. Because how he spoke of it and more made it seem like Earth-chan had yoinked him out of the middle ages. "The Light?" Vanilla asked, quietly taking in all this information fed to her over the course of the conversation. So him and his group were training for an event, which then happened, and trained even harder in preparation? It did sound somewhat like some type of cult or a whacked out version of what had happened, but then it conflicted with how nice he was. Vanilla had some pretty bad preconceptions about his story, but would accept what she was told. A man from an order of the highest importance to combat some evil force. "That does sound very important. I hope you do find some way back to your home, and I'll try and keep an ear out for any way back there as well." She carefully moved to a little closer and offered a small hand to pat his back in an effort to show she had his intentions in mind. But his own question came to her. One she wasn't ready for. Vanilla chewed the inside of her cheek, but opened up after a moment of hesitation. "I was looking for somebody. Somebody close. Her name was Vanessa. Um, she worked at the maid cafe and got me the job there. Even helped me move in with our five roommates." She frowned, the knife in her hand spinning around while her eyes seemed much too heavy to be picked up from the ground. The red glassed drooped down her nose while Vanilla continued. "I think the worse part is that I never got to tell her how I felt about her. I just never really ever had the courage because I was afraid, but now she's just gone with everyone else I knew. A-And for whatever reason, Earth-chan chose me instead of her! She's smarter, braver, and able to do anything, buh-but I'm nothing compared to her! It's not fair! She should be here, not me! It's not fair for her! It's not fair that I never got to tell her I love..."It was by this time that Vanilla had noticed tears beginning to stream down her cheek, alongside the hand that was gripping the bladed edge of the knife to dribble a crimson ichor down her palm. She stopped to inhale a ragged, painful breath before wiping her eyes and just frowning to Dantalion. She wasn't in the best headspace for obvious reason, her bleeding heart out in the open as she quietly stewed in her bottled emotional outburst. "That's why I came to a risk area without knowing how to fight." Vanilla explain stoically, eyes going to the knife stained red as she gently embedded it inside of the tree. "Nobody knows me anyway. I've didn't have much to lose back home, but I managed to fuck that up as well..."dantalion |

Evil crawls through the soul like oil...[BREAK]
...And it burns just the same.
[attr="class","cromscroll"]
Perhaps there were others tasked with cleansing the world alongside him. Perhaps it wasn't just the Bastion, what if the Gods Above decided that many would have the chance? It went against his teachings but his teachings hadn't mentioned anything about classes or the very laws of the world changing, maybe something had been missed? He clenched his jaw and let those feelings fade away, he'd need to meditate on them when he got the time. Instead he turned and gave a soft smile to Vanilla as she comforted him, it had been some time since he had received friendly physical contact.
[break][break]
"The Light that came only recently, the one that seemed to change everything. Before... Well all of this began. The texts spoke of a great light and the Voice of the World heralding an end and a new beginning. It seemed like the texts were right." He gave a shrug and looked out over the forest, taking another sip of water as Vanilla began to speak more. It would seem he had accidentally touched on a sore subject, though this was a pain that he knew and had seen all too often. An injury of the heart, borne of love and care.
[break][break]
Although Dantalion stayed silent as she spoke, he reached out and gently took Vanilla's hand, uncurling her fingers from the blade of the knife before taking it from her. He stuck it in the wood of the tree and nodded for her to continue speaking. He reached into his inventory and took out a small pouch and withdrew some gauze from within it. First aid was one of the things he had been required to learn during his training. A wounded soldier could not fight effectively after all. He wrapped the woman's hand gently, tying off the gauze when he was done, though not too tight so that it would inhibit blood flow.
[break][break]
"Perhaps, Vanilla, the Voice chose you to pave the way for a better world for Vanessa. Those people who have not yet came here, I do not believe they are dead, I refuse to believe that. All that means is that we have to ready this world for their eventual arrival." He paused for a moment and reached up to rest a hand on his ally's shoulder. "Do you think she would be happy to see such strife in you when she comes here? If someone puts in the effort to make your life better, to introduce you to friends, they believe that you are worth something. You would be wasting that belief if you simply allow yourself to die. You do not need to fight, you don't need to be like me, you must simply put more back into the world than you take out of it. A single moment, a single breath, a single step more than you take and the world becomes better for your existence."
[break][break]
He fell silent for a moment, recalling his mother having a similar conversation. It wasn't about lost love but instead about losing his way, fearing that no matter what he did he would never be able to make the world better. Perhaps the same messages taught to him would work for another. He was already starting to care and he knew that was dangerous, the pastor had warned him about it but... He would be absolved eventually. "I will make you an oath. Should you die, though I would hope you do not, and I should find Vanessa. I will tell her in your place. I plan to finish my task and in the end I am sure I will find her. That way your love won't be forgotten and your soul can rest easily." He gave her a firm, solemn nod before leaning back. "Take your time, emotions are what make us human, I will keep you safe, so rest."

Vanilla looked down at her bloodied hand as Tali was quick to jump into action. He plucked the knife for her quivering fingers, sticking it into the roof as she quietly sulked about the loss of a dear friend. It did improve her mood that he had offered some words of encouragement for her situation. But the pain filled tears continued to slide down her cheek as she stewed in the melting pot that was her inner thoughts. For as uncomfortable as it was to unload them on somebody, Vanilla felt better than before. The metaphorical ball had been released from the pressure of the water, free to float up and Bob along the waves. It was pushed back down as quickly when he'd rest his hand on her shoulder. "Ah-I'm okay." She said, shaking her head to Tali, clearly lying to him and herself. He pushed her button on Vanessa again, as the small girl frowned, her sense of guilt only rising through her body again. How could she make her worry like that? What if they had met again and Vanilla was truly gone? Gosh, she was acting like a proper arsehole for a change. Still, the girl just hid her face in her arms while Tali would make his vow to her. It was to tell Vanessa about how Vanilla thought about her should she be unable to from no longer being in the game. A thought that harrowed the girl to even think about it. The pain that she’d likely feel from learning about what would happen. "I just want to see her again…" she said through her muffled face, looking up to Tali. "I just…feel awful for being here instead of her. B-But she’d just call me silly for it again, tell me I should stop seeing myself negatively all the time…I miss that annoying way she’d leave the milk out of the fridge after she uses it too." Vanilla vented a little more, emptying the contents of her bottled up thoughts aloud. It all just sort of came out of her in word vomit form. No reason or rhyme, but just decompressing everything. After another few minutes, the pink haired merchant let out an exhausted sigh. Her bandaged hand held against the other. "S-Sorry. I don’t know where that all came from. I feel better now. I apologize for having to witness that." The bloodied hand fell to the platform she sat on before just experiencing the beauty of the forest they had wandered for what felt like the better half of two months. It wasn’t all bad here. Nothing was attacking them, and she was relatively happy with the work they had managed to accomplish. "Tali, can you…ugh, can you teach me how to be strong?" Vanilla asked. "If Vanessa comes back, ah-I don’t want her to worry about me anymore. And who better to know about strength than from a knight?"dantalion |

[attr="class","cromscroll"]
Maybe salvation didn't have to come so late or at the end of a blade, perhaps there were those that could rise above the mire and join his endeavour. Or maybe Dantalion was just lonely now, one man against a world. He looked up and away for a few moments, mulling over every possible word, thinking of everything that could happen in this moment. He missed his family more than anything but he'd have to make do with what he had for now until he could find them again. He turned back to look at Vanilla and gave a soft chuckle at what she was saying. It was strange how things that annoyed you in the moment would be endearing in the future.
[break][break]
"It's too easy to take for granted what you had before. At the very least I was prepared to lose it all but it only slightly lessens the sting. I miss the sounds of my mother carving wood and watching my father meticulously clean and oil his firearms. Such simple things and gone so soon." He crossed his arms over his chest and leaned back, letting out a soft breath. "Emotions are human and it is never wrong to express them, to forget your humanity is to forget your place in the world. So don't apologise Vanilla, look up and forwards, do better next time." He nodded gently before her next question came out.
[break][break]
It was certainly a deeper one than she thought because Dantalion wasn't entirely sure he was all that strong, not compared to other members of the Bastion. Was he looking down on himself? Was his supposed lens of pragmatism actually tinted against him? He spent a few long moments in thought before responding. "Strength isn't something that can truly be taught. However it can be learned. I can teach you how to fight, I can teach you how to survive but I cannot teach you to overcome any fear in your heart, you must learn that yourself. You will never be rid of it, Fear keeps us safe, it lets us know when a fight can't be won, no human is without it. However it can be mastered and when you realise that you can fight, that sometimes you don't need to run from all your problems... Fear becomes a lot easier to deal with." Old teachings again, just like his mother had taught him years ago.
[break][break]
"However in this world... I suggest picking up a weapon first. Even a simple one. The natural laws are different and regardless of your strength, you'll find it generally heavily weakened unless you are holding a weapon of some variety. Once you find one, let me know, no matter the type of weapon I can teach you to wield it..." He paused for a moment and turned to Vanilla, a slightly mischievous glint in his eye for just a moment, "...Though perhaps I would avoid two handed swords or axes, I'm afraid that it's surprisingly hard swinging around a weapon the height of yourself." He chuckled and stood up again, stretching his arms and back out. "Let's head home now, we can think about things and meet up again later, alright?"

Vanilla huffed again, still stuck in her own thoughts and worries that she'd listen quietly to the knight beside her while he bandaged her hand. She watched in a muted interest, lips pursed together in thought as he'd remind her about the things that made them both human. How the emotions she was experiencing her valid and that she would see her lover again. The woman wished that she could believe such things, although coming from Tali did make her have to admit that she was a bit envious of his hope. He even agreed to teach her how to fight, although warned her about it not being what she sought. That would have to be some kind of breakthrough only she could control to get by. At his joke about wielding a two handed axe, she'd snicker alongside him before then looking up to the sky in contemplation. "Yeah, I think home would be nice." Vanilla said in agreement. "If Vanessa is really out there or even not loaded in, I'll wait for her. Even if it takes decades of waiting, I'll do it. Just to see her face again."dantalion |
