[Bronze Woods] Survival of the Fittest (Fallon)

Scarlet gave Fallon a two-sided smile. For one, she appreciated any kind of information people would give about them. She could relate to them easier and thus search for a potential bondmate. On the other hand, she empathized with the human in front of her, feeling her, empathizing with her. "Mine was given to me by Priskil. She helped me through a very hard time, once. I was merely a kid, my parents had both walked away. It is surprising how an almost feral kelvic can bond to a human so easily. It's even more so when both choose to abandon a daughter without even noticing her." Scarlet grew quiet. " I don't hold it against who they were, I hold it against what they were. I am a klevic as well, and I have the same needs. That's why I promised myself I'd never be as they were. I'd never wield weapons, and I'd never grow close to another kelvic."

She looked a bit at Fallon's mark, then at her own. She paused. "A secret is kept between two persons when the other one is dead. But I have no secrets. Only well guarded truths. I do believe it was fate that brought us here, but the reason for that is still unknown. I believe it is better if we stuck out together to find out why. But alas, this is your decision to make."

Fallon listened, her fingers pawing at the ground with thought. She recalled the name to memory, rolling her eyes for a moment over her own personal ignorance. She should have known better than to forget the name of that goddess.
Of course, Priskil, she gave a tut under her breath before returning her focus to the Kelvic and listened to her story. There was little Fallon could do to comment on it, or more over she found that she should not comment. It was not her place to, but she did understand. To a degree. Though it would be more correct to say that true blood and parents were something largely unknown to her. The closest thing she ever had to a father figure was her mentor, but he was long gone now and so Fallon was left to look after herself.

It was at that point that Fallon placed a bare finger onto the lips of Scarlet, her head leaning in close so there was little choice but to stare back. She was thinking carefully, or more over she was past the stage of thinking and onto something else “Well guarded truths or not… you believe it down to fate. You think we should join hands and face what has been placed before us? Then what would you call us?”
Touching was vital, it was an impulse that Fallon could not help but do now, and it was something that she had a hard time resisting. But it was the same little actions that spoke a numerous amount of things. But right now Fallon was searching for a key word that would explain all that would lift the questioning from her and allow her to pursue what had been presented before her. And with that, her addiction to knowledge seeking would be sated. For now at least.
“What are we then?”

Taking time to formulate the answer, the kelvic did nothing but stare at the finger lightly pressed on her lips. She wouldn’t know how, but the challenge had been set in front of her, more like a calling than anything else. In a few minutes’ silence, Scarlet finally got the answer she was looking for. “I believe in fate, but I also believe in coincidences. Whether the two of us are part of something bigger than us both, that I do not know yet, but I can say this. If we are to meet again, randomly, separated from the crowd, on another occasion, than it has got to be something more than mere coincidence.” She paused, trying to read Fallon’s eyes of any expression.

She took her hand in hers, looking in her eyes. A feeling similar to the one she had experienced with Lucy appeared, but this time it felt different. It was not the type of girly love she harbored for the Svefra, it just felt… Different, and similar in all aspects. What it was, she couldn’t tell for sure. A feeling of dryness in her mouth came upon the thought of the possibility of not seeing her again, but she pushed it away briefly. “If that happens, I am certain the two of us are destined for something. What? I do not know… But I guess time will tell.”

Fallon kept her focus there, feeling those fingers touch hers and hold them. Something had been made that night, something had happened. But whatever it was did not have a name or a meaning that Fallon could bring to her mind. And so she was left to little else but to agree with the Kelvic’s words. She watched the momentary flicker of uncertainty appear on the face of the girl, but just as quickly as it came did it go again and Fallon was left to be curious. Yet now was not the time to chase after it. The squire stood, her fingers still ensnared hers, her free hand taking up the lantern once more.

She gave an awkward smile down at the Kelvic, her hand holding hers for a chime longer. It was still hard for her to truly get to grips with the scene, but she was slowly coming to terms in her tired mind. She gave a slow nod of the head and begun pulling herself away. Night was coming to a close after all, and with that would be the emergence of day. The fingers slipped, her back turning to the Kelvic. Her sight turned into the gloom and the world that existed beyond that she would now have to face. She exhaled, a brief glance back at the Kelvic and took that step onwards.
“If fate it be, then this is no good bye. For fate is a weaver of things, and so would no doubt bring us back side by side once more,” there was a brief flicker of the light from the lantern before she pushed herself further on “If it is not… then at least I received the pleasure of talking to someone who could best me. So long, good night and don’t stay up too late and become a night owl.”

Scarlet stood up again, looking at Fallon. "This is no goodbye. Don't ask me how I know it, but I do. Call it Kelvic instinct." She laughed lightly, and turned away as well. "I'll be seeing you one day or another." As the woman took steps, putting a distance in between them, Scarlet shouted out. "And it's eagle, not owl!" whilst taking off her shirt. No matter how tired she was, she still had the ability to do one thing.

While Fallon was returning to the castle, if one looked well enough or listened in the night, the shadow of an eagle could be seen following the wayward squire through the night. But maybe, just maybe, it was just a coincidence...
