[center][color=f49ac2][h3]Liliana[/h3][/color][/center] [@Stinkgate] [hr] [color=f49ac2][b]"Well...when you put it that way..."[/b][/color] Liliana said as she considered Ayu's words, before straightening her back and pounding a fist on her own chest. [color=f49ac2][b]"I guess I can't let a little thing get me down! A real Knight and a real Fairy Knight will fight misery wherever they go!"[/b][/color] With the fairy knight's wisdom so low that she could be depressed and un-depressed over the course of two minutes, she would fly before Takeshi and present her sword proudly. [color=f49ac2][b]"Don't you worry Takeshi, I promise that no matter what, we're here for your people and you! If you wind up being exiled, I know some good human villages back where I come from. Or if you feel like bumming off of nature, I know a lot of poison plants to not eat."[/b][/color] At hearing Kerry mention that she'd join Gringor and Alice on a quest, Liliana wheeled around. [color=f49ac2][b]"Count me in! Now I'm motivated to-"[/b][/color] she started, before seeing Kerry by Grimgor and Alice, the latter-est of whom had her hands down Gringor's pants. ...That...was...was that what Kerry meant when she said "having a third member"!? Liliana's face grew pink and a tiny bit of steam escaped her ears, before she shook her head and grew to human size. Did someone spike the water with horny juice!? The knight would bury her face in her hands and stand behind Kerry. [color=f49ac2][b]"I'll come too! Just...um...l-let's go before the villagers see. Or, before these two start fighting."[/b][/color] ...This was getting more awkward the more Alice opened her mouth, honestly. [center][color=C48BD3][h3]Eula[/h3][/color][/center] [@AzureKnight] [hr] [color=C48BD3][b]"Testicles are the source of human semen. Your 'balls' as they are colloquially known."[/b][/color] Eula said, making her threat a lot clearer. The automaton would listen intently to the bandit leader's words, before nodding in silence. [color=C48BD3][b]"I see,"[/b][/color] she would finally say, before picking the large man up with one arm as if he weighed nothing. [color=C48BD3][b]"Regardless, thank you for cooperating. I am unsure what the penal code is in Shizuyama, but I can only assume that I will never see you again."[/b][/color] Turning her head back towards Shizuka, she would say: [color=C48BD3][b]"I am...uncertain on what to say once we return. May I trust you to bring this to light? ...Humans tend to view my species with trepidation, due to how we speak and act."[/b][/color] In truth, the automaton couldn't fathom how to explain this. It sounded insane when she mulled it over. ...He was just a bandit. Even if he saved her, why would that woman take an illogical action like sacrificing her family? ...Her heart hurt, in some capacity. She couldn't understand it, in the slightest. Processes kept trying and failing to find logic, parse solutions, find alternate paths...there must have been so many. Was it selfish or selfless? Amoral or moral? Love or desire? 0 or 1? ...Did it even matter? Victory was theirs, and the automaton couldn't muster the will to savor it. She only hoped that the shell around her heart could hold long enough to meet her final directive, least it tear itself apart considering humanity and its issues. Still...she was glad to have at least made a friend on this mission. Shizuka was capable and steadfast, a worthy ally in combat and conversation. Perhaps once her arm healed up, Eula could accompany Shizuka on missions like this. They made a surprisingly effective combo of strength and speed.
