"Perhaps. Though perhaps I only wished to reward you for keeping to your training in my absence. If that is not the case then I suppose I will hug Dia instead..."

“I don’t mind if you give Ferdiad a hug.” He replies calmly, and grabs her hand much like a child to his mother.

@witchofdunscaith​ asked: Pick him up by the scruff of his tunic like a puppy and walks off-

...ah.

There’s something about that motion... so familiar, and so missed... the way he sways, but more importantly, the care that she doesn’t yank him up... that she acknowledges him at all...

...it’s like... being loved, and being safe...

...

...is this what papa would have felt, held by his mama...? Or held by his papa’s...?

...and like an overexcited puppy, he conks out in her grasp without a word.

[Deirdre] "Do you resent him?" Such an off-handed question. Spoken coldly even if it was meant only to sate momentary curiosity. It should be obvious enough of whom she spoke. "He didn't grow into the warrior I'd hope he'd be." And what misfortune that brought.

     “...” Now, that wasn’t a question Deirdre had been expecting to hear so suddenly. And, to tell the truth, it wasn’t the sort of question she ever expected to be asked. How.. was one to go about it after all her husband and her went through? So the girl hesitated for a moment, silent while wondering if it would be better to just walk away and pretend that this conversation never happened. A part of her really want to, after all, running away was less painful than digging into wounds.

     But no, Deirdre wasn’t one to run away. She always faced things with her head held high and her pride intact. This was nothing when compared to the last year of her life.

     “I fail to understand why you would say something like that about your own student, warrior witch. Naoise was an outstanding warrior, he fought bravely and with an unmatched skill on the battlefield.” Naoise too was an amazing musician, a great cook and a loving husband. What else could a teacher expect from their student?

     “And he grew to be his own person and made his own decisions. I don’t know what you had hoped for him, but those expectations were yours, not his.” Regardless of how her husband’s decisions, or lack of them, turned out, it was impossible to hold any resentment towards him. Naoise is and will always be an amazing warrior and good man in her eyes and nothing could ever change her thoughts on that.

     Her demeanor eventually changed, the seriousness from before dissipating and, instead, a lovely and melancholic smile drawing on the girl’s features. “I think, what you should be asking is if I was upset.” That was something she had never disclosed, even to her Naoise, but he probably could tell anyway. “To that, the answer is yes, of course I was saddened. The person who means the world to me didn’t love me as much as I love him. And, even if I knew it was to be expected, even if I knew I was dragging him with I, and I was lucky that he didn’t resent me, my selfishness can’t be helped and I was upset.” Selfishness was odd word coming from the lips of the girl who wasn’t even allowed her own life and freedom. But she didn’t want to use her own tragedy to justify her ‘selfishness’.

     “I suppose I’m still upset about that. I wanted to be enough for him, but that could never be as I would never be able to replace the family and homeland he left behind. I wish to be with Naoise, but my love for him is far too great to be so selfish a second time. So I only wish for his happiness now, even it doesn’t involve me anymore.” As long as he was happy and with his family and friends, that’s all that mattered to Deirdre now.

"You've done well." The witch is careful in ruffling his hair, the slightest of smiles peeking through her expression at the way his ears flick. She's so proud you... her little sun.

     How many years had it been since Scathach took him as her apprentice? How many years since the event that changed everything? When he looks back on those first months, he still can’t understand why she took him in, a scared and violent little thing that didn’t know how to deal with the loss of everything he had known after a tragic event. He didn’t get what the witch saw in a runt like him back then but he’ll always be to her grateful for staying. His teacher, his mentor, the one person who taught him all he knows in combat and, as ‘cool’ as she could be, was who helped to stay as human as possible. Who knows what would’ve happened to him if Scathach hadn’t found him first? Who knows how hateful and monstrous he would’ve become if she hadn’t been there for him?

     Those were things Cú luckily would never have to think about.

     Taking down a dungeon filled with corrupted beasts without his mentor’s assistance perhaps was his greatest accomplishment so far, proof that he was more than able of look after himself and protect others if he wished (of course, he still wanted to help those in need, even if it was better to stay as anonymous as possible). He had learned all he could from his dear mentor and finally felt like he had earned her praise and recognition... even her smile, which was such a rare to see in the immortal witch...

     He was happy.

     And yet... he couldn’t hep it but feel a little sad as well. His training was finished and he had already mentioned his mentor his wish to see the world and its people again. He knew he couldn’t ask her to come with him as it wasn’t to her interest to interact with mortals and their shenanigans again, so he wouldn’t ask. He promised not to cry or make it too emotional so it wouldn’t be awkward for his mentor, but... “I’ll really miss you, Scathach. You’ve taught me everything I know. I truly owe you my life, and I’ll-” A hiccup, his pose wavers, he looks less of a highly trained warrior and more of a youth leaving home. He quickly rubs away the tears forming at his eyes. He smiles again. “I’ll think of you every day. I know my life will be a short one but please do remember this young wolf you met along the way!”

[Cao] "You're stronger than you look."

     Odd, what an odd thing to say. The ruler had been strong and powerful, she looked the part, wouldn’t have gotten where she was if she had been or looked weak. That was not up for questioning, just like when she would bring a new plan or tactic to further improve their homeland: it was not up for questioning.

     So if her strength wasn’t being questioned, then what else-...

     Ah, of course. The priestess let out a sigh. She couldn’t be questioned but that didn’t mean something surrounding her couldn’t be questioned. She didn’t make a secret out of it, but it still wasn’t surprising that others would worry. 

     “It’s to be expected since I’m under the protection of the Headsman. But while I understand your concern, there’s no need to worry about him taking control and doing as he pleases with the lives of those here. We set some rules beforehand.” She was tempted to say that they could see her both as the priestess serving her god, and the one with the leash on him.

“How long do you intend on pretending?” It’s not a slip of the tongue but a purposeful accusation. A voice that practically booms across the empty hallway. It has only been a short time since she’s been summoned, but something gave her the feeling the man was avoiding her. How convenient she’s ‘found’ him so isolated. “Ferdiad Mac Daman. You’ve always been dense but it’s presumptuous to think this much. You’ve still not taken responsibility for your actions, have you?” And even if her student now towered over her, her gaze is distinctly one that looked down on him.

     There had been a smile drawn on his features the moment he heard that the warrior witch had answered the call of Chaldea. It had been an awkward and forced smile, almost painful to look at. Ferdiad had never been good at hiding his discomfort, and it wasn’t just discomfort that he felt towards his famed and ruthless teacher.

     Sure, it was never explicitly addressed but, even with her cold and often unexpressive appearance, it had been quite obvious her distaste for the connachta. But it wasn’t always like that. Once he arrived, he quickly became the best student in Dún Scaith, took upon himself the role of leader of the students if only to help his teacher. But the moment Cú arrived, the moment she noticed how the boy blushed when they were with him, and the manner in which he would look at them like they were only one in the world...

     Shortly after he began to notice that his teacher had become distant, harsher towards him. Ferdiad didn’t think much of it at first, but it was when it became known that his little lover was expecting, when they held to him and cried before rushing towards their teacher to hug her and sob, it was then that he noticed how the soft gaze she offered Cú quickly turned to one of disappointed and resentment when she looked at him. He had never felt as weak and powerless as he did when Scathach shot him the deadliest of glares.

     Indeed, he wasn’t just avoiding the warrior woman, he was practically hiding from her. It didn’t last, unluckily, and there was nothing else to do than address his furious teacher. 

     “Scáthach.” He gulped even if his mouth felt dry. “You always had an interesting way to greet your students.” An attempt to lighten up the mood but his teacher was unmovable. The worst part of it all was that he knew, deep in his heart, that she was right. He hated it, to feel like a goddammed coward. “Is there a point to any of it when it won’t change anything now? I can’t go and change the past, talking about it would only bring sorrowful memories back. I don’t know... what you’re expecting from me.”

what type of ‘I love you’ are you?

love you!

it's the "i love you" we use every time we finish up a call with our mom, every time we want to offer our friends a bit of encouragement, the welcome home kiss on the cheek we give our lover every day. it's sending them pictures you know they'll laugh at, buying them strange little nothings that you know they'll like. it's having their bagel order memorized and setting their birthday as your password. somehow, their name weaves its way into almost every funny story you share with others. it's brief, casual, it's a habit. we aren't even aware we do it. it says that love is cradled lightly in your heart, generously given, spilling out into the world unbeknownst to you, making up the web of delicate threads that hold us all together.
