[CHAPTER 02 - SCENE] sad to say

[urusenai.livejournal.com]

Who: Philia Felice, Colette Brunel
Where: Grand Chokmah docks
When: I forget.
Warnings: Sorry for being late :(


The boat ride had been long, and Philia was glad to have it finally be over... just going back and forth, back and forth... it seemed a bit unplanned, but at least she got to see more of the world aside from Daath. Well, there was still a lot to do. While they were in Grand Chokmah they should have stocked up on supplies this time... last time with Rutee, things didn't exactly go as planned, but...

Ignoring that part for now, Philia made her way to the stores. It was her unannounced responsibility as part of this team, and she took it fairly seriously.

Colette followed Philia, gazing around at the wide sky and wider water and white brick and fountains. She'd never been to Grand Chokmah before, and she just couldn't stop staring at everything--it was so beautiful. She knew that she should start acting less like a tourist and more like the Fon Master Guardian she was, but she'd really never been that far away from Daath before despite her job, and--

Catching her foot on something or other, Colette yelped and nearly tripped, windmilling her arms and jogging forward to stay upright.

sorry for the late response. my laptop's busted.

"Oh, Miss Brunel! Are you all right?" Philia ran over to Colette and kneeled down, putting her hand on the blonde's shoulder. Sighing, she knew that Colette was clumsy, but... at least it hadn't happened in a dungeon or anything like that. It was amazing that she didn't have more scars or injuries by now. "Is there anything I can do for you?"

No worries!

Giggling awkwardly, Colette brushed herself off. "D-don't worry, I'm not hurt! I'm sorry, I'm holding us up."

She'd been so used to losing her footing for so long that it was even more awkward and embarrassing when she wound up worrying others. At least Philia wasn't teasing her like some of the other Oracle Knights did.

"Well, I was going to go to the store anyway, so we may be able to pick up some ointment or some such to help you with any scrapes or bruises, Miss Brunel." Philia spoke, as she helped the blonde up. "It's dangerous, what if you had fallen into the ocean?" She lightly chided, but simply sighed in relief. Maybe she had inner ear troubles or something. "In any case, accompany me." At least I could keep an eye on you so you're not flirting with Zelos.

aaaaaaaaaaa now I am the late one again m(_ _)m

"I'm fine! But I'd love to come with you," Colette replied, giving Philia a big smile. She brushed at her skirts again, looking down to make sure she'd gotten any possible dirt off. And um, this way at least I'll be able to watch you in case something's wrong. She didn't want Philia to notice that she was worried.

pfft, take your time. btw, there's an activity check post on the ooc comm, fyi.

"Very well; I'd very much appreciate your company, Miss Brunel." Philia smiled in return. Walking away from the docks and to the various stores, Philia made sure to stock up on the necessary supplies. Keeping Colette's profession in mind, she was also fairly pensive about what may have happened to the Fon Master Ion... Philia was certain that he had to be safe, but they hadn't the faintest notion of where he may be. Certainly it would be difficult to sit back and wait, but Philia wasn't certain about whether or not it would be prudent as to help distract Colette from that worry by traveling with Zelos or not.

"Oh, my, this is new." Philia picked up a jeweled staff, which was emblazoned with a red jewel on the tip. "I wonder if this would be a good investment..."

ooc: for "doggies", read "wolf-type enemies"

"If there are going to be more monsters and things where we're traveling, it couldn't hurt to be safe, I guess," Colette offered, glancing curiously at the store's other wares. It couldn't hurt to pick up some new weapons and armor of her own, if there was somewhere here that sold chakrams or leathers in her size.

...She did hope that there weren't any doggies with those monsters; she always thought they were so cute.

oh, colette, you are too cute~

Philia wasn't familiar with the weapons that the others used such as Zelos' sword or Colette's chakrams or Meredy's whistle, after all, so she didn't trust herself to choose weapons for them; however, the stave she was looking at definitely seemed like it would be a good investment. After politely asking the cashier to ring it up, she turned back to Colette.

"Ever since you were promoted to becoming a Fon Master Guardian, we haven't seen very much of each other." Philia stated. "But you seem to be enjoying your job, right? What's it like guarding the Fon Master?"

"...Sometimes it's hard knowing that you have to fight, but Anise and Master Ion are a lot of fun to be around," Colette replied. She tried to keep sorting through the wares in front of her, but her hands came to a rest and wouldn't keep moving. "...And it's good knowing that I'm of use to the Oracle Knights this way. ...I really hope Master Ion is okay, though. This is our fault for not taking care of him well enough, after all."

"It's not your fault." Philia quietly stated, at first not looking at Colette, but then she slowly turned her head toward her friend. "You and I both know that there have been internal disputes within the Order of Lorelei, specifically between those who ally themselves with the Fon Master and those who ally themselves with Grand Maestro Mohs. I haven't sided with either of them myself, though technically accompanying Sir Wilder is under orders from the Grand Maestro. It's a bit difficult for everybody while this sort of internal dispute is continuing on." She tried to explain.

"It's not your fault." Philia repeated herself, a bit more audibly this time. "You're not to blame. I know the Fon Master is safe and sound, somewhere."

[dojikkochama.livejournal.com]

"..."

She was still partly to blame, though; she knew that Master Ion had been getting worried about the Grand Maestro's stance and his inability to do anything. No matter what had happened to him--whether he'd gotten kidnapped or run off recklessly on his own--Colette was a failure for not being there to protect him.

Sensing that her words were missing their mark, Philia sighed to herself. Putting her hand on Colette's shoulder for a second, Philia then gave the Fon Master Guardian a hug. "Please do not worry, Miss Brunel. I am more than certain that we'll run into the Fon Master at some point, and when we do, we'll be sure to give him a lecture together!"

;A;

[dojikkochama.livejournal.com]

"...Yeah. Thanks, Philia."

Colette needed to stop making everyone worry about her, but she was still grateful for her friend's words.
