Lowkey Kinda Wanna Talk About Ornstein And Lucettes Relationship And How It Changed As She Got Older.

Lowkey kinda wanna talk about Ornstein and Lucette’s relationship and how it changed as she got older.

8 year old Lucette after seeing Ornstein’s face for the first time: I’ll say this......He’s really pretty.

Artorias: Annnnnd?

Lucette: And what? That’s all I got.

Artorias: Annnnd?

Lucette, confused: And he fights good?

Lucette is being dragged on a journey and its all Artorias’ FAULT.

(Ornstein gets partial blame)

Lucette tossed a pillow in his general direction, stuffing her head into her blanket to groan loudly, making sure everything nearby knew she was miserable. This was bullshit!

“This is pointless!” She shouted into her blanket, already dreading to get up. Her body did NOT want to move even an inch. And it certainly didn’t want to go out into the cold air.

“What difference does it make training in the morning or afternoon? Training is training.” 

‘Unless you want him coming back inside and dragging you out, I’d suggest you get up, bathe, and get dressed. Breakfast will be served soon and since he said that you will train until Midday Meal with nothing more than 5 minute water breaks, you can’t afford to skip.’ “How come you are up so early? What do YOU do?” Lucette burrowed further into the blanket, relishing in her last few blissful moments of warmth and comfort. 

‘Make sure my idiot host doesn’t end up late and missing breakfast. Because guess who will have to deal with your whining? Me. So up up! Get to it!’

“Uuuuugggh, fiiiiiine. I’m up, I’m up.” 

Lucette pushed aside the blanket, body shivering against the rush of cold air, sighing heavily as she pulled herself out of bed and began to head to the bathroom. Something told her that this was gonna be a rough day.

She hissed when he opened the curtains, being blinded by the bright light and fleeing underneath her blanket. It was so bright and so early! Why does she need to be up?!

Lucette squawked in dismay at being told that she will be doing training. Is he serious?! “WHAT?! Why do I need to train? I already know how to fight just fine.” Lucette knew she was whining but she didn’t really care.  When he listed that Kuai would want this and that it would help her fit in better, Lucette rolled her eyes, giving in mildly with annoyance.

“Do I really have to get up at the asscrack of dawn to train? Can’t we do this in the afternoon or midday? Wouldn’t that be more reasonable? Especially in the cold!”

Lucette lifted up the blanket and peeked out only her eyes to send a tired pleading look at her new teacher. You would assume that being a princess and thus always expected to be up early with countless lessons and training, that she would be used to it, but no. She did everything in her power to gain a few extra hours or minutes, at best. What’s the difference between doing training in the morning instead of midday, anyways?!

“Yes, in fact, the other recruits would be up in a short moment.” Bi-Han hums, then grins wickedly, his face half shadowed by what little of the dark there is in the room. “And you know how to fight, now?” 

Saibot piped up, his warbling laughter ringing in his ears. 

‘She ought to demonstrate it to you. Would be rather helpful too, if we are to gauge how much she really knows and how much she would have to be taught.’

“Now, up and up, breakfast is in 10 minutes, then it’ll be your private one on one… I am interested to see a little demonstration from you, Lucette, since you claimed that you know how to fight.” He peers over his shoulder, having crossed the room in a few brisk strides. This is going to be fun, ha! 

“By the way, we don’t do more than 5 minute water breaks around here, at least until Midday Meal.” 

Random hc that wouldn’t leave me alone: Lucette as a child is an absolute prankster. No matter what verse.

She has pranked Ornstein once by pouring melted chocolate (not boiling hot, obviously. Lukewarm)  into his helmet when it was sitting on a table unoccupied. She mostly did it because her friends had bet that she would be too scared to. Lucette has a bit of an ego.

Ornstein was NOT happy when he attempted to put on his helmet, only to end up covered in chocolate. That’s putting it nicely. He was LIVID.

Artorias found it fucking hilarious.

Yes, she got caught. Yes, she was forced to apologize to Ornstein. Yes, Ornstein made her clean and polish all of his armor for the rest of the afternoon. Under his eagle eye watch. 

Yes, he scolded her the entire time.

“Since you have so much time to waste upon foolish ventures, perhaps it would be better if your energy was directed toward a more productive pursuit besides mere entertainment at the plight of others.”

That wasn’t fun. Lucette learned her lesson though and never pranked him again.
