Of all possible things, Amy certainly did not expect to hear 'wake up kid' and to have her cheek pinched... She was utterly confused for a short while, before managing to say, "I... Think I'm past the age where one can be called a kid."
As she got a better grasp of the situation, Amy assumed...
The more they walked, the worse Amy felt... This entire place was pure heresy... All those magical sources... All of them were Zalrea's crystals?
Amy wanted to destroy this whole place. She would do it if she had the means to... Sadly, she was not powerful enough to do that. She did not have...
Amy noticed something touching her shoulder... A gentle voice calling her out... "Mother...?" She muttered... Before the next words came out.
It was not her mother's voice... Yet she did not feel scared... It was a voice she knew...
Slowly, Amy tried to sit up, trying to grasp her current...
Out of all possible outcomes, Amy did not expect the man to actually yield.
What was it that caused the change in demeanor? Amy was both worried and confused about that... But if she could keep her cane and also go inside the camp, then she was willing to put those worries aside for the time...
Amy doubted she wasn't being a bother, but she didn't see any reason to insist on that, so she stayed quiet.
"I'll try." Was all she managed to reply to lord Trevor. What else even was there to be said at this point?
And then, lord Trevor had left, and Amy was left alone with Magnolia... She...
Amy's worries got a thousand times worse when hearing the word 'crystals'... Were they going to a camp filled with Zalri?
Though the person talking to them did not sound like her husband once did... Perhaps they were not Zalri then? But why would they be so close to multiple crystals!?
Amy...
Amy just listened as Magnolia spoke... Trying to wrap her head around the idea... What else could possibly be a positive outcome? Joining her husband in death? It was a tempting idea, but one she kept on refusing.
So she listened. Trying to understand what was it that Magnolia spoke about.
"A...
Amy was scared.
Sure, the small talk with Hanno helped, as she could focus on something else other than how much of a bad idea this was, but... It certainly didn't make her fear go away.
And it only got worse once Amy started seeing something... There was too much magic concentrated in one...
Amy did not reject Magnolia's embrace... She let herself be held. Let herself be comforted... She hated that she needed it, but she knew she needed it.
... I still have a long way to go. Amy thought amidst her sobs.
The touch on her hand did not go unnoticed... She moved her hand around what...
Amy smiled when hearing lady Rhiannon's name being brought up, "That's not what I meant, silly." she was sure he understood this much, though.
... And she didn't comment on the part of she being there too. She being there was not going to help him stay safe, she knew this much.
Still, she...
Hearing that the noise was nothing to worry about did put Amy a bit more at ease.
And then Lord Trevor's reply... Most of it was within Amy's expectations, although, "I am afraid I do not know what this Advent Lost structure is, lord Trevor."
No judging came at all... Not entirely...
Amy was having her hair brushed.
She was sitting down inside the tent, feeling both pleased by the feeling, and a bit annoyed at the fact she was once again being taken care of after she finished bathing... She really wished her family allowed her a little more independence.
Nonetheless, that...
"Ah, no, you don't need to be sorry..." Amy felt her now free hand grasping only air... It felt a bit lonely, "I was just a bit... Startled." Amy was aware that her reaction was unwarranted in this situation. She knew Hanno had done nothing wrong, after all... She just wasn't expecting it...
"Eek!?" Amy did not expect to have her hand taken... Nor did she expect to see Hanno's arm suddenly move towards her like that. She basically jumped in place when it happened.
Was seeing always so scary? Amy wondered to herself... It's been so long, she really got completely unused to it... She...
Amy heard a strange sound... Like something hitting something? It was a bit muffled, so she wasn't sure, "Is everything alright?" She decided to ask.
"Yes, I suppose that would be the simplest way to go about it." Amy answered lord Trevor's question. She really thought this was a terrible...
It felt... A bit strange to be able to see Hanno's movements. While there was still a distinct lack of detail, just being able to see that he rose a finger was strange enough to Amy.
Though not strange in a bad way... It was just the kind of thing she hadn't been able to experience in way too...
Amy was relieved when hearing he wasn't straining himself, but the next words troubled her, "Well, we all have our limits. No matter how much we try, knight or not, we cannot save everyone." Amy was sure Hanno understood the feeling. He had been in Arcia for long enough, after all... She was...
Lord Trevor and Magnolia's words soothed Amy. She was glad that they were reasonable people, "Thank you..." And it was only as she said that, that she finally realized the pain in her hands.
She only now noticed how much strength she was putting in her grip of... Oh, right, tableware... She was...
Amy was a bit astonished at the prettiness of the crystals surrounding her. How could such a beautiful place be so desolate?
Her vision was strangely blurry though. As if something was obfuscating her eyes.
She met them. They came. They were worried. Amy saw her crystallized eyes in the...
Amy giggled when seeing the Ghast's magic move around... Was it waving at her? That was so cute.
And then she started seeing some magic emanate from Hanno... Was it... Coating his body?
She smiled a bit when she understood the point of it, "Don't overdo it, okay? Wouldn't want you running out...
