B Support 👀✨
“Found you Lon’qu! I’ve been waiting for you!”
Lon’qu: “You… again…”
“I’m here to get some training as promised! …Before we head to our mission that is.”
*Sigh* “Only so you would stop chasing me around…”
“Or if you want… we can have a sparring match!” I hold out a sword, though I’m not proficient in wielding a sword.
Lon’qu: “Please… just switch that training sword with your axe.”
I obey.
“Alright.”
Lon’qu: “Now chop this wood.”
(You watching me is making me nervous but…)
“Well.. here goes nothing…!”
Thud!
“Umm…”
Lon’qu: “Again.”
THUD!
Lon’qu: “Once more.”
Swish!
… *blush* (I CANT BELIEVE I MISSED)
Lonqu: “Try again…”
Thud!
Lon’qu: “Okay… do your stance again but don’t swing down yet.”
Alright…
Lon’qu: “Here. Here and…here.”
!
(He’s moving me with the hilt of his blade…)
“Now swing down.”
Crack!
“But how?!”
Lon’qu: “Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, look for cracks or splits in the wood, just make sure your overall stance is steady.”
Lon’qu: “Try another piece of wood.”
“Alright.” (My feet is shoulder-width apart, hold steady…)
“Here goes!”
Crack!
“Should be easier to master your axe now.”
“Thank you! (Ack! He’s already walking away to go on our mission.)”
I run after him.
*huff* (geez. I’m so out of breath… I clearly need more training.)
“So… how many risens do we have to clear out today?”
Lon’qu: “Until there’s none left.”
“Do you think I can catch up to you?”
“Hmph. Unlikely.”
“How about—“
Lon’qu: “Shh.”
(I don’t talk that much to be shushed…)
He tells me to look with his eyes.
…!
(There’s so many of them!)
“I can be bait,” I whisper.
“Too reckless. The faster we get to their leader the better.”
I quickly count my inventory.
“I can do about 45 swings with my axe. Healing I can heal you about 3 times.”
“I also brought myself 3 concoctions.”
Lon’qu: “Alright.”
“I’ll follow you.”
Lon’qu: “N-not too close…!”
Laura: “Here comes the first one!”
Lon’qu: “Stay alert.”
(Battles)
Clash!
“Pay attention!”
Get ready for this!” My critical.
Lon’qu: “Huh... Not half bad."
“See? I can take care of myself!”
(Must keep up this momentum!)
(Battles)
“One’s coming from the right…”
“Prepare yourself!”
Whack!
“How well will you die?”
Risen dies.
“Who dies next?”
(That’s the 15th one down… are we closer yet?)
Laura: “I need a moment to double check my gear.”
I do a quick run of my inventory. (I only have 2-3 swings left in my axe then it’s done for… as for healing…)
CLASH!
(How does he transverse this terrain so fast??
(Oh no a magic spell…!)
Lon’qu: “Nnngh.”
I pull out my wand to find that I have no more healing powers on it…
(My wand… oh no… I’m out of heals!!)
“Hold on I’m…!” My feet are running before I realize that I am in front of him going to deflect the onslaught with my axe.
(Two risens… I have to keep running and if they catch up to me I’ll take them down!)
“I have no choice, but to fight them now!”
(Great I dodged them…!)
CRITICAL- “No more playing around!”
“I survived… Good.”
I continue to run.
(Please let me make it!!! I must make it!)
I run as I watch Lon’qu make his next attack still wounded previously.
“No hard feelings.”
Swish!
*Huff huff huff*
(The risen evaded his critical attack?? The risen is powering up its next attack!)
“I’m… here!” *breathes*
“Take… this *huff* concoction, I’ll cover us with my axe.”
“…”
(I can see his eyes darting around me… is he trying to calculate how to maneuver around me…?)
I sit down on top of him holding my axe.
“…!” *blush*
CLANG! The risen’s claws meet my axe.
(Time for my counter!!!) CRITICAL- “Just die already!!”
“…I’ll return the favor.”
“Are you okay Lon’qu?!”
“I’m—I’m f-fine!! Back u-up! I can’t believe you s-sat on me…!”
“It was the only option I had at that time! I wanted you to rely on me…”
Lon’qu: “Y-you can get off of me n-now…”
“Did you take the concoction??” I turned around to look at him clearly still on top of him.
“!” *still blushing* “H-how could I…? O-off… please…”
Looking down at him now I can see that I am practically sitting on top of his stomach while he is laying on the ground…
*blush* “I-I’m sorry!!” I get up.
He brushes himself off the ground.
“At least we got all the Risen thanks to you!” I said with a smile.
“Y-yeah…”
“All in a day’s work let’s head back to camp now.”
He muttered. “Good work… keeping up.”
“Huh? I don’t quite catch that.”
Lon’qu: “Nothing. Hurry up, let’s go.”
(Let’s… those words make me happy for some reason…)
On the way back before we reached camp, I asked him.
“For training purposes, could we go… on a patrol together?”
“…”
(Just say yes!! Please!)
*sigh* “If you improve your weapon mastery, I… suppose.”
“It’s a promise then!”
Lon’qu: “That is not a promise!”
