a quick conversation about battle plans from kiran had left her standing in askr castle thinking about what to do next. the tactician had left a few minutes ago, busy to do something else in the castle. a small sigh escaped her as she relaxed, loosening her grip on leiptr. peace && downtime was more than sacred to her. with all that was piling up besides the war with surtr, it felt like a she didn’t have a second to herself anymore. not that she minded though. she had a debt to askr && was ready to do whatever she had to to repay it. with a keen eye, fjorm noticed a pink haired unit approaching her. how it stood out, but it looked good on her. she straightened herself back up as the other approached, but kept her loose grip on leiptr. she knew there was no danger here && she was more than capable of defending herself if she needed to. after the other girl had introduced herself, fjorm spoke, her face neutral but tone gentle && friendly. ❝ yes, that’s me. it’s nice to meet you soleil. please, don’t apologize. ❞
