I hate patrols, it’s just running about wasting energy almost hoping something bad happens."[/color] Tesni pulled out a can of cola and chugged half of it as if somehow the more she drank the less annoyed she'd be. She wasn't correct, but at least it tasted good. Pulling herself away from her soothing potion, Tesni went right back to sounding her frustrations. [color=gold] Also! Why is miss ‘Don’t Wannabe Arthur’ the leader?! I mean, I kinda get not making me the leader, the big bosses would probably call me selfish, or impulsive, or utterly incapable of taking care of others during combat, or say something like ‘Tesni, why do you even want to be the leader? Last time we offered it to you, you said it was a hassle and to never ask you again’. And yes, that is all true… but why do I have to take orders from the most indecisive of all magical ladies?!”[/color] gulping down the last of her can of cola she tossed it to the ground, stomped it into a flat disc and kicked it into the nearby trash can. Some random passerby in a school blazer shouted something about how she should join a team, Tesni briefly turning away from the group to say if a sports team needed her for anything they must really be in trouble, waving and ignoring them. Turning to Chinami, Tesni decided to be even more straightforward… even though she hadn’t exactly been [i]subtle[/i] with her words till now. [color=gold]“I know you can hear me Chinami, so why are you the leader? You finally getting into the swing of things, becoming a glorious king? I’m actually shocked you accepted. Does your knightly nobility prevent you from disobeying such a request, do you worry about that? Being a knight seems like it’s soooo stressful, well at least we all know chivalry isn’t dead with you about I guess.”[/color] rubbing her temples as if she was trying to get rid of a headache, Tesni felt that while she was at it, she might as well make herself crystal clear to the Arthurian magical girl. [color=gold]“Chinami, I like you well enough as a person, but I’m gonna get really blunt so brace yourself, alright? I don’t know if this is right, but for the longest time you’ve given off this tragic hero vibe. Like you're the lone hero that will save all of us from the terrible fate of having become magical girls. Which is peak arrogance. So, I’m saying that we won’t achieve anything by showing off our misfortune to each other! ‘This awful thing happened in my past that made me onto a Magical Girl’, guess what? We all have that exact same story! It’s all pointless compared to our current situation anyways!”[/color] Taking a deep breath she tried to calm down, slow down her words so they didn’t come out so fast no one could understand because she felt this was important. [color=gold]“Chinami. I don’t care about your situation. Do you know why? Because we are all in the exact same goddamn situation! And it’s not like you will sympathize with another person for having a similar past as you either. Because everyone thinks they’re the hero of their own story, everyone sees others as side characters in their grand narrative so therefore everyone thinks their own personal tragedies must be the most tragic, right? Especially since our powers literally come from heroes of stories!”[/color] Pulling out another can of cola she shoved it into Suzuya’s hands. [color=gold]“And you, uhhhh… Suzie!”[/color] the gears in Tesni’s head were almost audibly clunking along as she struggled to remember the girl’s name, failed to do it, then stuck a nickname on the girl in a last-ditch effort to not have to embarrassingly ask for it. [color=gold]“If you have something wrong, at least try and solve it. Drink something if you have a sore throat or whatever… damn I’m tired and nothing has even happened yet!” [/color]Tesni went back to rubbing her temples as if trying to massage away a headache.
