"Er.. ice cream. Sure."
[i]The term "ice cream" seemingly confused the woman, yet she would accept it. Though Star would probably remember the that Isabella was.. not from this world, to say the least. Therefore, she would need an explanation on the glorified topic of ice cream.[/i]
English
-
"I'll see you here in ten minutes?" Star began to hop away happily, turning to hear Bella's answer.
-
"Um.. sure. Yeah." [i]Isabella would have to entertain herself, in that time.[/i] [i]She first began with cleaving things apart with the axe at her hip. The weapon was previously undrawn, yet she unbuckled the tool, letting it be free of the leather bounds. The weapon's shaft was about fourteen inches in length, while the blade was about eight inches thick and an inch wide, the steel edge slanted for more cutting potential. She cut apart most things, nothing living of course - newspapers, boxes, signs, a few fences, a bench.. before stopping as the few people in the area called her a[/i] "fuсking Dojo diсkwаd" [i], of which succeeded in pissing her off even more.[/i] [i]Slumping down on the torn bench, she was pleasantly surprised that no authorities had came. Though she didn't try that again, else she'd have cops on her tail - while she only then considered Star's reaction. She shuddered a little - Starlight wouldn't like the unnecessary chaos. So she had to do something else.[/i] [i]When Star returned, she found Isabella.. repairing a massive mess. Or trying, anyway. As the fence fell down again, Isabella grunted to herself, stomping her foot quickly on the ground as she looked up into the air in her fury. If Star listened, she could promptly head the woman count to herself, through sharp breaths.[/i] "-One, two, three, four.."
-
Star nervously smiled and laughed while she slowly and cautiously walked towards Isabelle. She now had on clean black leggings and a loose, white tank top. "You okay there, Bella? Did something happen?"
-
[i]Isabella turned back, her face going a little pale at the sight of the returning Star.[/i] "Oh, I'm.. fine. There was this assassin, and they tried to cut my throat, so I threw him to the ground and.." [i]She waved her hands at the mess around the two.[/i] "I was just cleaning up the mess he made. Tried to slice me open, he swung too hard and spun himself around and cut open that fence.." [i]It was very clear that she was being sarcastic.[/i]
-
"Uh huh." Star laughed and shook her head while putting an arm around Bella. "I totally believe you, Bella. 100%. Completely. No sarcasm at all."
-
[spoiler]Must I mention that Isabella's still in full armor? Lmao.[/spoiler] "Ha.. well, at least someone believes me. Maybe that's what happens when your real father was.. I'll tell you later. We should go.. get ice cream." [i]Isabella did seem confused about the topic of "ice cream", but she was willing to see about it still. She patted Star on the back, looking down at the shorter woman as a smile crossed her face.[/i] "Lead the way, m'lady. You heard right, you're temporarily "m'lady". If this goes well.. might be promoted to "my lady" or something." [i]Sarcastic, joking, and prone to anger issues. Isabella was the whole package.[/i]
-
"Okay then?" Star chuckled as she led the way to an icecream parlour. The outside was all colorful and surrounded by happy families.
-
[i]The families didn't seem too happy to Isabella, at least not in her eyes. At the sight of them, her smile shifted into a simple, melancholic line of an expression. The hand on Star's back closed a little, though the sadness would disappear, replaced by a shorter smile than before.[/i] "So, how does.. this stuff work? I mean, ice cream is.. isn't a thing in Trayve."
-
"It's ice, cream, and awesomeness all put together. You'll love it." They got up to the counter and Star looked over the options. "Let's see...I think you should get a cone, but what to put in it?"
-
"...Chocolate?" [i]The giant of a woman would softly murmur, pointing at the option of "Chocolate".[/i] "Funny.. that's the one thing that I recognize on this. We have a baker, in the Keep, you see.. he and his wife live there, and cooked treats for us when we were little.. thank the gods for him and his hard chocolate, though. His pies were good, but those pieces of chocolate that you could break apart, they'd melt into your mouth and taste like heaven. Sorta, anyway.." [i]A few people had begun to stare at Isabella.[/i] "...So this ice cream stuff is like that?"
-
"...Sure. Two scoops of chocolate in a waffle cone and two scoops of mint choco in another cone!" Star ordered and after a minute she offered Bella the chocolate icecream.
-
[i]Isabella would calmly take the cone, studying the exterior before licking it a little. She'd quiver a little, practically eating away at it until it became too cold.[/i] "God, my sister would kill me if she knew- but this is fantastic!"
-
"Isn't it?!" Star laughed, eating her own cone. "Glad you enjoy it."
-
"...Thank you. Seriously. Y'know.. maybe it's terrible of me. But.. I sorta want you on the ride against the Dojo. Then establish Trayven control - we'd make sure that ladies like you, no matter how cute they are, don't get beaten up.. or the town isn't burning to the ground.. or invasions from space.. peace, that's what this place deserves."
-
"Is it? You should know a warzone when you see one." Star finished her icecream with a satisfied sigh. "Not geting my pretty face beaten sounds nice."
-
"...You ever been on a warzone? My first one.. gods, it was something. It smelt of shit and blood.. then the first man I ever killed ran up to me. Now.. he wasn't very intelligent. I'm six foot seven, he was five foot eight and holding up his shield, trying to bash me with it. Shields aren't good against great axes. I slammed the head into the poor man - Gods, either he was pathetic or I'm something else - either way, his arm snapped back, a scream leaving his lips as he fell. I.. I think he tried yelling. Then I split his head in two. It was.. ...something else." [i]Isabella would sigh, only then.[/i] "I can assure you that under Trayven control, you won't see battlefields left and right. I promise."
-
"I saw my home town get blown up and incinerated into ash in an instant before the city I was currently residing began to break into complete chaos. Tanks rolled up the streets, fighter jets manuevered between the skyscrapers...people screaming...." Star shrugged, grin still on her face. "I think this place attracts people like us. People that have seen the world around them burn."
-
"Yes, and around us.." [i]Isabella motioned towards the families, the civilians, all of them. Though she did seem a little surprised.[/i] "You've seen tragedy. We both have. All things come to an end.. but we can keep the peace on Tatakai, for years. Maybe a hundred if our lineage fulfilled our wishes."
-
"That's the same thing the people that bombed my city said. That kind of peace comes at a price, Bella." Star sighed and began to walk away.
-
"Star.." [i]Isabella followed, sighing to herself.[/i] "I'm not trying to pull you in amongst like a fish. But this.. this has a bigger purpose. Just.. just trust me." [i]It was a little hard to take her seriously, with a cone of chocolate ice cream in Isabella's hands. She quickly licked away at her cone, though.[/i]
-
Star turned and grinned a little. "Would you mind if I asked to help you? I mean, specifically you. Be by your side as this thing you're talking about goes down? Having someone of my kind by their side has helped many people come to victory."
-
[i]Isabella would look up at Star silently, finishing her ice cream cone with a quiet stare towards the woman. Finally, she would sigh and nod, approaching Star as she drew her axe - the axe upon her side, holding the shaft of the weapon with both hands and pressed against her chest.[/i] "...I take your allegiance seriously, Star. If you wish to serve alongside me, help me.. please, kneel."
-
"Alright, not how we do things where I come from, but okay." Star got on one knee. "Good?"
-
"...That's fine. Just.. traditional things." [i]Isabella would hover the head of the axe over Star's left shoulder, before bringing it over the woman's head, and back to her right shoulder.[/i] "Star, my lady, I raise you. Not as a knightess, but a knightess that would serve alongside me, until you see fit to depart. I shall not dishonor you, nor shall I take advantage of your service." [i]Isabella would raise her axe above Star's scalp, before bringing it to her own chest.[/i] "...If you wish, please stand. I should.. probably present a badge. Except I have no badge to grant.."
-
"Badge? Ooh, making things all official, are we?" Star chuckled. "Maybe you can get me a badge some other time, Bella."
