Polar Opposites!

[9tailedtemptress]

Character(s): Ahri and You! + Ronnae and You!
Location: All around the Garden
Rating: PG-13, maybe a bit higher? But not too likely. (Maybe because of Ahri)
Open/Closed/Finished: Open!
Summary: Two very different females set off into the Garden. Meet up and explore or just say hi!  (1 double post for ease of writing and not spamming the comms! Post on the subject line who you will interact with~)

A whole new place for her to explore and learn from?! YES PLEASE! Ahri couldn't be more excited! And the place was wonderful! The architecture, the people, the location, everything was so much different than what she was used to in Valoran. The nine-tailed girl sauntered through the Garden at a pleasant pace, making sure to explore and see everything she could about the place. She'd smile and greet passersby and maybe toss a wink or a kiss in the direction of those who's gaze lingered for long.

This seemed like it would be lots of fun and she couldn't wait to meet new people, or prey, or both! She'd need to take sustenance from some of these after all~ She'd make sure to make it as sweet and enjoyable as she could of course~ Even her elegant tails where swaying side to side with the sway of her hips, as if playing around behind her.

Ronnae on the other hand recognized the place immediately and after meeting with the Superiors she set her things in her room and set of to see what had chanced in the time she was gone.

She didn't know why, or how she had disappeared, but the fact that she was back made her feel as if her mission here wasn't done and she wanted to make sure she did everything she could to help out... That's not to say that she wasn't the same bundle of shyness and blushing that she usually is. Keeping her head down, face slightly covered by her long, wine colored bangs, she made her way through the areas she frequented the most, if anything just to reacquaint herself with the Garden and maybe see if there were any familiar faces around.

She'd still timidly greet those who she'd pass close by, not wanting to seem rude.

Comments

I have no idea!

Ronnae paused momentarily and looked at the other woman for a few seconds before speaking in her usual timid tone.

"I ah... sort of? I used to be here long ago, but then ended up in my world once more..." she fidgeted a little before continuing.

"I just recently arrived once more... H-have you been here long?" Ronnae wondered if she had been here before or after her disappearance.

Sorry for the wait, being sick is kicking my ass orz

[everdistant_utopia]

Saber's mild surprise reflected in her sea-green eyes for a moment. "You were returned to your world, you say?"

There was hope, then, that she could return and fulfil her duty.

"I have not been at this school for very long," she replied with a shake of her head. "I am still attempting to accustom myself to this place."

Aww D: I didn't know! I hope you feel better soon hun /hugs

[shiest_sunbeam]

Ronnae nodded, "I did, I returned to where I had left. It was... odd. But now I am back and I hope to do this place service once more."

She looked over the other curiously, tilting her head slightly as she wondered how she'd been doing so far. "It's a kind place. Much different from where I come from, especially with all the technology. But it's... well p-pleasant."

Ronnae blushed a bit but kept her ground, "I admit it took me a while to get used to it myself when I first arrives. But I grew fond of it and wanted to give my all to helping things. It might take me a bit to do so again, but I plan to continue my studies and help the Garden in anyway I can..."

She paused and looked over at Saber for a moment. "I... I c-can help you if you'd like? I don't mind at all."

I'll be fine in a week, I hope

[everdistant_utopia]

Saber could certainly understand the overwhelming nature of the Gardens' technology. Without the Holy Grail to impart a basic working knowledge, the Servant felt more than a little lost. "It is quite different from my home, as well."

It was kind of her to offer, particularly since the girl -- possibly an elemental spirit from Saber's perspective -- had only just returned. "I would be most grateful for any assistance," she replied with a faint smile.

D: I hope you're feeling better hun /hugs

[shiest_sunbeam]

Ronnae rewarded the faint smile with a timid one of her own.

"Oh! W-well, sure, I don't mind one bit and I think it'd be more pleasant with good company." she added at the end.

"It's a pretty big place, but it's not an unpleasant trek. Lots to see and explore and do. It's really an amazing creation."

I think I'm starting to recover! *A*

[everdistant_utopia]

Saber had to admit she found the girl's mannerisms to be quite cute, even girlish. She might have even taken a liking to her already.

"Indeed, it is," the blonde agreed. "I have never seen anything like it. Even Camelot did not span such an area, nor host such a variety of different things."

That's good to hear! <3 /sends best wishes

[shiest_sunbeam]

"Camelot?" Ronnae asked curiously, raising a brow as she looked at the other woman.

"Is that where you are from?" admittedly, it gave her a moment to get a better look of the woman in question and she felt a small blush creep on her face. She seemed so refined and stoic, reminded her of the sort of people she admired greatly.

[everdistant_utopia]

The blonde nodded slightly. "That is correct. I was born there, though I was raised in the country."

While she tended to be generally reserved about her past, Saber couldn't help but feel strangely comfortable around the girl. Irisviel had done much the same thing... perhaps it was her feminine nature. Rather than be on her guard, the knight felt strangely relaxed... at least, as much as Saber was capable of.

[shiest_sunbeam]

"Must have been an incredible place. Yielding people such as you-" she said almost to her own amazement. That had been more bold than she would have normally done, but seeing the woman in front of her really brought good memories of the heroes of the Light.

Her face grew red right quick and she looked down a bit embarrassed, playing with one of her long, reddish bangs.

"I m-meant, that... that it must have amazing people in it. Y-you seem the type to have a g-great story behind them."

[everdistant_utopia]

The girl's obvious admiration took Saber by surprise at first; though she was the King of Knights, she had never placed much stock in her legend. As far as she was concerned, the succeeding generations needed to believe some heroic tale of the past, even if it was far from what really happened.

Then a flicker of regret passed through her eyes and a smile faintly tinged with sorrow and regret settled over her features. "Yes, there have been many great people from my lands. Many worthy knights have protected Britain and the king."

[shiest_sunbeam]

Ronnae picked up on the change of mood, if ever so slightly and felt a bit bad for having brought up something emotional. She fidgeted a bit in place before looking up at her a bit awkwardly with a timid smile.

"There's many knights where I come from, but few are worthy of recognition and admiration. The ones that are however, do more for those who are in the dumps and in need of hope and something to believe in than they themselves think."

They always seemed to be so hard on themselves, even when they've done leagues more for those they protect than they originally think.

[everdistant_utopia]

It was merely for a fleeting moment before she buried her sorrow once more. But instead of replacing it with her usual stoic mask, Saber awarded the young woman a faint smile.

"That is truly a shame. I have done my best to ensure that the first duty of my knights was to serve the people as much as they served the king."

She was so at ease, in fact, that she slipped in her usual reticence. Certainly her Master and her allies during the Holy Grail had known her true identity as the King of Knights, but it was something she generally didn't share unless chivalry demanded it.

But then, perhaps it did now.

[shiest_sunbeam]

"That's really nice to hear, my pa- m-my father would have loved meeting you. He's a Paladin of the Silver Hand and one of such noble knights I mentioned. His Officer in Command, Lord Tyrion, was the one who inspired him on his path and is one of those few Knights worthy of praise." she said with big smiles.

It was clear that the girl had both high expectations and high praise for those that followed the code of honor and that upheld justice and protected the people.

[everdistant_utopia]

"Your father is a knight?" She couldn't help but smile; that explained very nearly everything as far as the petite knight was concerned.

The walls around her had already started to come down in subtle ways just as they had with Irisviel, though this time it was even more than simply the young woman's demeanour. They shared the same commitment to chivalry, and Saber found herself already trusting Ronnae.
