[center][color=f49ac2][h3]Liliana[/h3][/color][/center] [@Enkryption], [@AzureKnight] [hr] After getting her eyeballs properly cleaned by some very sanitary salt-water, Liliana was still rolling around in the boat screeching about her eye pain when they arrived. Teary-eyed and squinting, she would roll off of the boat and onto the shoreline, noticing some seriously ominous laughter coming from Alice's direction. Getting up, Liliana would approach with Whimsy on her back. [color=f49ac2][b]"...Lady Alice? I'm um...I-I forgive you for choking me and I'm sorry about accidentally tripping you, so um...are you alright?"[/b][/color] she asked. She'd never seen Alice like this. [center][color=C48BD3][h3]Eula[/h3][/color][/center] [hr] Blow after blow was intercepted by Eula, until one with far more power knocked her off her feet. The killing blow was only stopped thanks to the swordsman in white and red, whom Eula had never seen before. Slowly getting up with her elbows, Eula felt as if something inside her had broken from the mace hit to her stomach. Some internals were leaking collant, some connections severed. Her internals were working to fix the damage, but that could take hours of rest to fully heal. Standing, Eula could feel her left eye growing a touch dim, some internal connection having been strained enough from her standing to make seeing difficult. [color=C48BD3][b]"...Why?"[/b][/color] Eula asked to Kazenosuke's question, seeking the answer herself. Why did she let herself be destroyed to intercept fatal blows for humans? Why did she join a conflict, an actual war, where she would have to fight humans and protect humans? ...And why did thinking about that answer cause clear coolant to leak from behind her malfunctioning eye. [color=C48BD3][b]"...Mm. I think I understand myself now,"[/b][/color] Eula said, already turning back towards the fighting. Her lips curled into a slight smile as she looked back to Kazenosuke, her broken arm now dangling from the barest bits of internal wiring and cables. [color=C48BD3][b]"That's because I-"[/b][/color] [b][i]"Well, its because we made her to-"[/i][/b] [color=C48BD3][i][b]"Love humans too much to see them die."[/b][/i][/color] Before she could say anything else, Eula was back in the fight as she had been, fighting to protect rather than destroying anything.
