Tarnished Reality

[Unsure of what to expect when she stepped through the teleporter, Edelgard had gone fully prepared for the worst, insisting on wearing her scarlet battle armor, with her axe strapped in a leather thong across her back. When she found the city nothing like what she had been told, she'd initially been puzzled, but as it became more apparent that she was not going to be troubled she found herself relaxing fractionally.

Her changes were making it more difficult to function during the day, so she'd come at dusk, well rested and ready to explore the city. Moving among the people, her outlander dress marking her as a Mirrorbound as surely as the unusual battleaxe she carried, the Emperor was quiet through most of her wanderings. The sounds of a scuffle up ahead of her current path drew her up short, though and she stopped and looked around a corner.]


It seems all is not well. [Mumbled, but audible enough for any nearby to hear.] Do you think we should aid the guard?


Bond Lessons

[It's strange seeing other Mirrorbound being pulled up onto the stage, but so far she has avoided being ensnared herself. Watching the goings on is interesting enough, though, but she's still a little uncomfortable with it. So, she slides through the fringes of the crowd towards another unmolested Mirrorbound.]

Eager, are they not?


Home

[Edelgard has made it a point to attempt to win over support from the aristocracy early on, including personally investigating the Mist that had settled in there. The few supporters she'd managed to charm haven't quite turned on her, but when she makes her way out of the district she can feel something building. Tensions are rising, a thing she is extremely familiar with, and that's going to potentially be a problem.

It's not until she leaves the district and makes her way towards the Haven, the cool and crisp night air making her more alert than she might otherwise be, that she senses something amiss.

Eyes narrowed, she pokes her head around the mouth of an alley to see two graffiti artists hard at work. With an exasparated sigh she turns to wave a passing Mirrorbound over.]


Look at this nonsense...


Wildcard

[If you want to plot something out, in Dorch, out of it, a quest, anything else? HMU at [plurk.com profile] intercession and let's figure it out!]

[Had it been anything more, he would have used a simple healing spell but Edelgard's strike was measured and careful. He'll be just fine. Diarmuid straightens up.]

Mmm. [His brow furrows just slightly.] But if it were to become an... issue, I would gladly stand as witness for you.



Ah- but forgive my manners, my lady. I am Diarmuid Ua Duibhne, Knight of the Fianna.

[With that, he dips into a simple but elegant bow, holding the position for as long as ettiquette would demand while standing before a noblewoman. Truthfully, her rank doesn't matter; she carries herself impressively and acts with more dignity than many royals.]

Who did I have the honour of fighting alongside?

[An Emperor. It doesn't surprise him in the slightest to hear that she really is of noble birth- and neither does her use of the title over "empress". Diarmuid takes her hand in his and shakes it firmly, eyes bright with the warmth of a friendly smile.]

The same to you. I'm only sorry that we didn't meet under more pleasant circumstances. [With a sigh, he glances back at the man lying prone behind them and, while his smile only fades a little, he sounds less confident.] It doesn't seem as though things will settle down any time soon, though.

[On the contrary, he expects the climate to only grow more temperamental the longer both the refugees and Mirrorbound are here.]
