Rose reached forward, and brought Niki into an embrace, hugging the shaking woman. She saw the end results and knew it wasn't pretty. But to see it happen must have been worse.
She hoped hugging Niki was the right thing to do though, as she wanted to help the girl, even if it meant in the end it wouldn't end well.
"Its alright, Niki. Its alright..."
It was all she could mutter, Rose's own face going white and blank, not knowing how to handle the situation.
English
-
[i]Hugging Niki actually did calm her down, as she let it all out into Rose's shoulder. She simply sat there for a few minutes, sobbing continuously in her breakdown as her arms were kept around Rose's body.[/i] [i]After a few minutes, she simply fell quiet, her shaky breaths being all that left her body. A few breaths would be followed by uncomfortable sighs, as Niki broke away from the hug, arms still kept on Rose.[/i] "...you didn't have to.. to care so much. But.. ...Thank you. I've only cried to.. to her. I just.. I just don't know.. what I can do to save their lives.."
-
Rose kept her own arms on Niki's hips, a unintentional but probably decent move. She didn't know what to say, but spoke anyways. "Try talking to her? I know it may not be the best thing, she seems invested in tradition..." Rose let out a sigh. "I'm sorry, hardly know her, so I can't really help."
-
[i]The hip move made Niki.. blush a little, though she did feel a little better with Rose doing it. She blushed a little, though she would nod quietly.[/i] "...I can try. Maybe she'll.. tone down. Maybe. Focus on.. helping people. Helping our effort. Helping us." [i]"Us" was a unique term to use in such a situation. Niki had already considered Rose amongst her ranks.[/i]
-
Rose relaxed a bit, good, so now she could slowly discern the limits so far with Niki, but she didn't want to keep pushing them. Nodding as well then. "Then there's a plan of action, now its just having to talk to her. She won't listen to me, but she will listen to you. And I know you can do this." Trying to be supportive now, she waited for an answer, watching Niki with worried eyes.
-
"...I can try." [i]Having small bursts of confidence was one of Niki's more prominent mental strengths, or at least when she needed it most. She thought and thought, managing a soft smile through falling tears.[/i] "I.. I can talk to her. You're right, she'd listen.. she'd change.. Right?" [i]Niki was hoping for a positive answer. From what Rose could tell, it would take more than a little sister explaining her troubles to stop the imprisonment. Perhaps it would stop the torture, though.[/i]
-
"She would, yeah. I think she would, but you'll have to try anyways." She nodded again, more enthusiastic now. This was good, Niki was looking better now, and was talking herself out of that state she was in.
-
"I hope.. ...gods, how.. how should I thank you? The rune stuff and the metal were both just.. physical things. But you.. you truly helped me there.. how can I repay that? I'm sorry, if I'm being awkward. I'm not.. regularly close to people." [i]Niki would blush a pinkish color, though still smiling still.[/i]
-
"You don't need too. Unless you count dinner sometime? But for now, you don't have too. Just focus on what you want to do, and talk to Isabella." Rose smirked then, hoping Niki would catch her drift...
-
"...I'd love dinner, actually." [i]Niki shrugged a little, smiling at Rose a little.[/i] "I should get dressed, though. Robes aren't.. preferable, in public."
-
"I dress like a heathen and pass by just fine, but whatever suits you." Rose beamed then, surprised her little quip had actually worked.
-
((Timeskiperino)) "Haha.. that was fun. Really, really fun." [i]Niki laughed a little, her hands kept in her pockets after the two had exited the restaurant. She had looked pretty, yet.. simple, too. A white gambeson with silver buttons covered her being, accompanied by grey pants and a pair of tanned, soft shoes. She kept her hair tied back in a ponytail, for the date.[/i]
-
Rose wasn't one for fancy dresses and the like, but did dress normally this time around. More casual in attire than anything, jeans and a button down shirt, her usual boots though she wore. Glancing to Niki, she grinned, happy she could please the mage. "I try my best to please, and even then I know you could use something like this." She leaned on one foot then, crossing her arms as she soaked in the moment.
-
"Yeah.. thanks for that, too." [i]As if feeling a little more comfortable, Niki offered for Rose to come over to her, as she sat down on a bench. She rested her right arm on the back of the wooden bench, smiling at the woman.[/i] "I think that we should.. talk a little. Just.. just cause."
-
Rose welcomed the notion, sitting next to Niki on the bench. Whatever it was the woman had in store, Rose was up for it. "Sure, what do you have in mind?" She had to ask it, even though she didn't really have too.
-
"Well.. you're cute. You're nice, you're.. caring. And I hope that.. well, that you think the same as I do, except about me. ...Ugh, I think I worded that wrong.. point is, I.. I'd like to keep doing stuff like this, you know? Have.. more than just a friend to hang around with. A girlfriend. Knowing that she'd help me and protect me if needed. So.. well, should I even have to ask?" [i]Niki smiled a little, shrugging in her subtle, cute manner once again.[/i]
-
Rose's face turned a ruby red color, matching her namesake as she broke into a wide grin then. She spoke, sounding overly giddy. "I was waiting for you to ask that, or me ask. Whichever. Just; yes, Niki. Yes!" She nearly squealed, the bandit girl unable to contain herself.
-
[i]Niki beamed with a sudden grin of her own, before bringing Rose into a tight hug. Her arms wrapped around the bandit's body, now.. well, her girlfriend's body, as she laughed in celebration.[/i] "Oh, Rose.. Rose, Rose.. my Rose, my beautiful Rose." [i]Niki smiled to herself, simply reciting the name. It made her think of flowers and gardens, and blossoming sweet smells in the air. But beyond those, her Rose.[/i] "...Thank you." [i]She giggled again, planting a soft kiss on Rose's cheek in response. Her hands would be brought down to Rose's hips, as Niki would stare into the woman's eyes, still beaming with joy.[/i]
-
Rose rested her forearms on Niki's shoulders, staring back at her lover with a wife grin on her face. "That's it? I know you can drag a kiss out longer then that." Rose chuckled, then brought Niki in close then, dragging out a passionate kiss from her.
-
"Mmph!" [i]Niki yelled into the kiss, though she would suddenly go all out with it. She wrapped her hands around Rose's soft cheeks, as Niki would lean back upon the bench, bringing Rose closer. Eventually, she would break free for a gasp of air and "Rose-" before returning to the kissing.[/i]
-
Rose twisted herself around to sit on Niki's lap, rubbing her hands along the curve of Niki's sides, returning the kiss once again, Rose was loving the moment. After a moment she backed up, looking down at Rose from where she sat. "I'm so happy you asked, Niki~"
-
"I'm so happy that you said yes" [i]Niki would laugh, beaming with that cute, pearly white smile still, hands pressed against Rose's face. She brought them down to Rose's hips, still smiling.[/i] "This is.. the happiest day that I've ever had. I should.. I should talk to Bella, though you're the priority right now." [i]Niki kissed again, laughing into it.[/i]
-
Rose embrace the kiss once more, then pulled away. "I'm glad I could cause it then, and you should. Get it done and over with."
-
"Oh, Rose.. alright. Then we can party, free of worry.." [i]Niki smiled, as she awaited Rose to move up. Assuming that she did.. not char jacking, but timeskip.[/i] [i]The two would find themselves at the encampment, at night. Some partiers and late nighters, if anything. And in the distance, sharpening a giant axe..[/i] "...Bella. I gotta.. go now. I love you, alright? It'll be fine." [i]Niki smiled, nodding towards Rose.[/i] [i]Isabella was a giant of a woman. Probably six feet and seven inches tall, with burly muscles and some feminine attractiveness working with her. Tangles of light violet hair fell to broad shoulders, scarlet eyes focused on the edge of her weapon.[/i]
-
Rose nodded, hanging back to let Niki do her thing. She knew the woman could do it, after all, it was what both of them wanted.
-
[i]When Niki approached Bella, the latter of the two looked up, smiling a little as she motioned for her younger sister to sit down, as she leaned the battleaxe against the bench.[/i] [i]Isabella[/i]: "Hey, kiddo. You look happy. Got a guy? A girl?" [i]Niki[/i]: "Well.. maybe. Not why I'm here, though." [i]Niki shrugged, sitting down as she looked up at Bella, sighing.[/i] "...It's about the things you do. To those prisoners." [i]Isabella[/i]: "Come on. They're fuсking thieves and shit, not like-" [i]Niki[/i]: "They're people. People who don't deserve to be flayed, or mutilated, or.. or sсrewed in the head.. just to be sent as a twisted message. That's.. that's horrible, Bella." [i]Isabella sighed, looking up.[/i] "Well. Guess I'm a pretty bad person. Jeez." [i]Niki[/i]: "...Just please. Don't torture people anymore. It's inhumane, and awful. No one deserves that fate." [i]Isabella[/i]: "I know a couple." [i]Niki[/i]: "...Please?" [i]Finally, Isabella would release a sigh.[/i] "...Yeah. Sure." [i]Immediately, Niki would bring a hug to Isabella's waist, smiling to herself. As she hugged, her eyes flickered over to Rose's position.[/i] "...Well.. I gotta go. Thank you, Bella. Stay safe." [i]Isabella[/i]: "You've yet to tell me about the lucky guy." [i]Niki rose up and smiled, smirking a little.[/i] "Girl." [i]She shrugged, as Isabella merely shook her head and leaned back, closing her eyes. Niki would return to Rose, enveloping her into a tight hug.[/i] "...did I do alright?"
