˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤNowadays, most of those posters were NO LONGER needed. The Astral Express had not only cleared their named but assisted in saving Belobog. THIS MAN on the other handㅤ—ㅤ
˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤ❛ㅤSir, are you AWARE that you're a WANTED CRIMINAL in Belobog ? Frankly, I should have you ARRESTED right here.ㅤ❜
‧₊˚ ⋅ ꒰১ ᯓ ☆ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤ𝑻𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒘𝒂𝒔 𝒆𝒎𝒃𝒂𝒓𝒂𝒔𝒔𝒊𝒏𝒈. Even if she had some fighting capabilities, combat wasn't her forte. Her strengths lie as a STRATEGIST outside the battlefield; maneuvering the guards and their weaponry and supplies to better aid them in battle. Desperate times called for desperate measures and as a result; this had happened. Even if lifting the METAPHORICAL WALLS between the Overworld and the Underworld was a good thing; it came with its complications.
˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤ❛ㅤThank you, Eros.ㅤ❜
˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤThough she did so with hesitance, the young girl lifts up a GLOVED HAND; its ebony fabric torn to reveal a bloodied wound underneath.
˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤ❛ㅤPlease don't tell Lady Bronya about this. It's not entirely debilitating so won't be necessary for the combat reportㅤ—ㅤand I don't want her WORRYING.ㅤ❜
"I really do think y'should let me look at it, sweetheart." Her voice is gentle as she looks at the younger girl. If it weren't someone so young, she might have waved it off, told them to deal with it on their own. But not only was that not the case, Pela was a member of the Silvermane Guard. And Eros had looked after so many of them since the Underworld stopped being cut off. It didn't feel right to leave her to deal with an injury on her own.
"Please?"

Her focus remained solely on the battlefield. She HOPED Lady Bronya, Captain Gepard, and the rest of the troops were safe.
˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤShe holds back a wince; unwilling to appear weak or unprofessional to the other. As the momentary sting of DISINFECTION passes, she speaks again.
˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤ❛ㅤHow are you and the other guards faring ? I do hope there aren't TOO many injuriesㅤ—ㅤsuch as mine.ㅤ❜
Worrying came naturally when one was a doctor, she supposed. Whether the younger girl thought it was a big deal or not, at the very least she could treat it for her. Black-tinted fingers reached out to take Pela's hand, gentle as she looked over the wound beneath her torn glove. Those gentle fingers would carefully peel the fabric away so that she could properly gauge the wound. It would be easy, really, if she dealt with it with her magic. But needing to pass for just another human was just as important as helping the girl before her.
"I won't tell Bronya if that ain't what y'want. Thankfully it ain't so bad I need t' give y'stitches or nothin'-- jus' disinfectin' it and wrappin' it up should be fine."
Shifting slightly, she'd pull out what materials she needed to take care of the girl's hand. Rummaging through the bag on her hip before she began to work carefully.
"'m glad at least that y'er okay."

The NAMELESS had done truly incredible things for their snow - covered planet; rising from falsely - accused convicts to practical saviors of their land. Everyone knew of their courageous actsㅤ—ㅤand of course, their bounties had been TAKEN DOWN by now.
˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤBut this man ? She COULDN'T entirely be certain. Now that she thought of it, some guards DID speak of a mysterious navy - haired man that assisted the Namelessㅤ—ㅤand that he should have been allowed SOMEWHAT of a second chance. As far as she knew, the orders for his arrest still stood; but perhaps that MAY have changed.
˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤ❛ㅤI'll have to VERIFY that with the Nameless and the Silvermane Guards then. ㅤ❜
˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤShe speaks; tone still deadly serious, especially for a girl of her young age. Still, it was IMPORTANT to know of whatever ' plans ' this potential convict had; especially for an Intelligence Officer such as herself.
˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤ❛ㅤDare I ask what your PLANS are ? ㅤ❜
In the aftermath of the Stellaron crisis, Sampo's reputation underground was bolstered by what arguable were good deeds. Yes, inadvertently he set some things in motion, at least from the outsider's perspective. For every mistake that he supposedly made, the Fool had actually planned to somehow get the Astral Express crew to arrive at that point. Despite his sincere aid, he of course, is still Sampo Koski, looking to stir the pot in the less than serious moments. That and, well it was true that when you needed him most, he'd mysteriously be out of reach.
As for the surface, well. He still had his contacts, his schemes. But being under fire in one setting despite being more or less trustworthy in another was hurting his brand. Was it so bad that he was wanting to return to a sense of normalcy ? There's an argument to be made that he was just as much of a hero as the rest of them.
He pointed to himself as if she could've been referring to anyone else in the area. ❝ Oh, I'm still wanted ? That's a shame... ❞ He cupped his chin as he studied the officer before him. How young was she anyways ? She carried herself with confidence yet she wasn't jumping straight into arranging for his arrest... ❝ I helped out the outsiders, y'know. The Nameless ? You know those guys, right ? But I prefer helping out in the wings, they deserved their time in the spotlight, after all. ❞ Wordy talk, meant to eat up whatever time he might've had left before potentially needing to break into a sprint.
❝ I was fighting the good fight, honest ! I just got caught up in some... Questionable things. I know doing one good deed doesn't fix everything, but what if I made a plan going forward ? ❞
꒰ྀི ✧ — @iniziare asked: "If you've got a problem with the way I handle things, just say so." (Seele to Pela! Listen, she's just… a little discontent at those in the Overworld, to say it like that. It takes time, she'll get there! She also needs some social etiquette lessons, but you didn't hear that one from me 🤭 Thank you for liking the call!]

The only thing she was grateful for at that point was the fact she hadn't brought her to a Tale of the Winterlands meetup yet. THAT would have to wait for quite a while at this rate.
˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤ❛ㅤWith all due respect, Seeleㅤ—ㅤyou've raised your voice at EVERY establishment and group of Silvermane Guards we've happened to pass. If I weren't here, they'd have probably arrested you for DISORDERLY CONDUCT by now and I would have had to vouch for you.ㅤ❜
˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤGiven her ranking, something like that PROBABLY wouldn't have been an issueㅤ—ㅤbut she still would have most likely have had to confront Captain Gepard about it. She would have rather had avoided the DRAMA altogether.

Thisㅤ—ㅤwas a matter of UTMOST IMPORTANCE after all; almost as dire as the battlefields that she so often managed. In all of Jarilo - VI, there was only one person she trusted with the problem at hand.

˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤShe didn't know. She was ONLY A CHILD when the order to seal off the Underworld was made. Even now, she was still a child. It was her choice to contribute to the preservation of Belobog's safetyㅤ—ㅤbut sometimes, the things she bore witness to were DIFFICULT.
˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤ❛ㅤIt'sㅤ—ㅤprobably NOT in my place to say these things but I wish there was too.ㅤ❜
˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤ❛ㅤI'm certain if the Supreme Guardian would let me, I could at least lessen the disparity of supplies between the Overworld and the Underworld. I could try to convince herㅤ—ㅤbut she DOESN'T even listen to Lady Bronya sometimes. ㅤ❜
‧₊˚ ⋅ ꒰১ ᯓ ☆ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤ𝑺𝒉𝒆 𝒌𝒏𝒆𝒘 𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒚 𝒘𝒆𝒍𝒍 that she was more capable than many of the adults in Belobog. In times like this though when the reality of combat set in, she wished she was as STRONG as Lady Bronya, Captain Gepard, and Serval. The very adult decisions she made were critical to Belobog's victory against destructionㅤ—ㅤbut in times of SUFFERING like this, she wished she could do more.
˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤ❛ㅤThe fact that there ARE injuries is worrisome. I know it's typical in the battlefield but stillㅤ—ㅤㅤ❜
˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤIt was a bit difficult to gauge the situation now when she was alone like this. Had she lead the troops in the wrong direction ? Surely, that COULDN'T beㅤ—ㅤunless there was some threat that she hadn't foreseen. The worries for the Silvermane Guards only grew the more she sat there until it finally came to be too much.
˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤ❛ㅤI think I should check on them myselfㅤ—ㅤI've LOST CONTACT with Lady Bronya and Captain Gepard so it might have to be me. I need to decide if it's better if we retreat or keep moving forward.ㅤ❜
Really, she was grateful that the people of Belobog would never be the wiser on that front. Not that she thought on of them would mind, of course, but she really didn't want to have to explain it. Why someone they'd thought human...turned out not to be.
Still, she'd keep a gentle hold on her hand. Just in case- Pela was much younger than her. Even if she tried to play tough, she knew children had smaller pain tolerances.
"'m fine, sweetheart. And th' others look t' be okay. I bandaged up others that weren't b'fore I came t' check on ya."
‧₊˚ ⋅ ꒰১ ᯓ ☆ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤ𝑰𝒕 𝒘𝒂𝒔𝒏'𝒕 𝒂𝒔 𝒊𝒇 𝒔𝒉𝒆 𝒉𝒂𝒅 𝒂 𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒓𝒊𝒃𝒍𝒆 𝒄𝒉𝒊𝒍𝒅𝒉𝒐𝒐𝒅 𝒐𝒓 𝒂𝒏𝒚𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈. In the absence of her mother, the Belobog Cadet school had been kind to her. She had great friends like Lynxy and Serval as well as people that cared about her like Eros. But she was definitely TOO used to putting all of the hardships on her own shoulders. It was indeed the logical conclusion that two people entering a warzone was far more beneficial than just one. Yet somehow, she couldn't help but give Eros the slightest blink of shock. It wasn't exactly her obligation after all. She wasn't part of the Silvermane Guards. By all accounts, she was just an ORDINARY CITIZEN of Belobog. Even more, she was an Underworlder that should have held hostility towards Overworlders such as the Intelligence Officer.
˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤ❛ㅤIf that's what you want to do, then I suppose I cannot stop you. Justㅤ—ㅤplease be CAREFUL.ㅤ❜
˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤLuckily, she knew exactly where the soldiers would be located. SHE was the one that formulated their battle plans after all. It doesn't take long for the two of them to arrive at their destination.
˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤWhen they got to their destination, it seemed like the soldiers stationed there had already been FORCED to make a decision. Most of them had already abandoned their posts with a few still remaining to carry off the injured.
˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤThe girl moves quickly; perhaps a little TOO quickly as she rushes towards a soldier's side. Though her frame and height were far more petite than the grown man's; she still attempts to sling him over her tiny shoulders without much success.
˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤ❛ㅤEros, can you please help me with this ? I'm pretty sure this is the LAST soldier. I hope it is.ㅤ❜
Eros of course knew how tough it could be. To be a child who felt the very weight of your people on your shoulders. That even if you did what you felt best, there were still going to be times when it all came crashing down. When the tower would fall and people would get hurt. But she knew, too, that the people of the Guard at least wouldn't hold mistakes against Pela. That was something she was glad for the younger girl. That the people of Belobog were kinder than those of the Preceptors the former High Elder had once had to deal with.
"Here-- let me come with ya, hon."
She would get up more on instinct than anything. A want to keep close just in case. Not that there should be any more danger but- perhaps it was her own maternal instincts kicking in. That even with the wound tended to, she was worried about Pela.
"Whatever decision y'make, I'll do what I c'n t' help. I know I ain't- technically on retainer or nothin', but still. I wanna help however I c'n do that."

The job's responsibilities didn't exactly entail giving people tours across the city. Directions were usually handled by the patrolling guards.
˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤWellㅤ—ㅤshe DID give a tour to those young Belobog children before. After the barriers between the Overworld and the Underworld lifted, she gave tours to the Underworlder children as well. Her Silvermane Guard uniform was quite obvious as well. This should have been expected.
˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤ❛ㅤSure, you're in the Administrative District of BELOBOG, the sanctuary city in Jarilo - VI. It was built upon the hard work and fortitude of our many Supreme Guardians. We're the only city here so I'm glad you made it safely across the snow plains. ㅤ❜
˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤStill, she was uncertain of how interested the Xianzhou tourist actually was in the HISTORY of Belobog. Sometimes, people just wanted to see the ' fun stuff 'ㅤ—ㅤwhich was the case for a lot of the younger people.
˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤ❛ㅤWere there any PARTICULAR LANDMARKS you were interested in seeing ? ㅤ❜

‧₊˚ ⋅ ꒰১ ᯓ ☆ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤ𝑾𝒉𝒐 𝒅𝒊𝒅 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒎𝒂𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒌 𝒉𝒆 𝒘𝒂𝒔 ? She would have expected something like this if the man were an Underworlder. Even if the barrier between the Overworld and Underworld had been lifted after the Stellaron crisis, some of the Underworlders still held their grudges. She would have been A BIT more gentle too if that were the case. This man thoughㅤ—ㅤhe looked like a REGULAR XIANZHOU TOURIST.
˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤ❛ㅤI'll have you know that I graduated from the Faculty of Social Sciences and the Faculty of Science from the Belobog Cadet School, with a double honorary degree in Military Studies and Cryptography. AND that is NO way to be talking to the Silvermane Guards.ㅤ❜
˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤ❛ㅤNow, if you needed assistance from the Silvermane Guards, you COULD have asked that in a more appropriate manner, sir.ㅤ❜

˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤAqua orbs turn back to her companion; making certain that she was okay carrying the fallen Silvermane guard. The other seemed to be okay. Still, combat and war were NEVER easy and though she didn't often find herself on the battlefield like this, she knew that harsh truth all too well.
˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤ❛ㅤThe camp isn't that far from here. I chose the closest and safest area I could without increasing the risk of any surprise attacks from the Fragmentum. Butㅤ—ㅤif you get tired, we can TAKE TURNS. I just can't guarantee I'll be any faster than you.ㅤ❜
The tangible difference between the way they were raised would be appreciated if she knew it. A bright young girl like her deserved something easier- kinder. Even if there was still tragedy, at least she wasn't riddle with it. At least she had here and now, with the people who she cared for and cared about her in turn.
"'m always careful, sweetheart. Ain't no reason t' worry about me, I promise."
If worse came to worse, at least she could handle herself just as well as any soldier. Not that she wanted for it to be that way, but all the same. Even if they had once been separated by Underworld and overworld- Eros wanted the best for the people of Belobog. Regardless of where they may live.
So she'd follow behind the younger diligently. Amethyst eyes scanning their surroundings as they went. Ready shoulder there be any issues at all. And she's grateful, at least, to see there's only the one man- what they hope is one.
Following in step behind Pela, she would sling the other man's arm over her shoulders. Despite her own short stature, she housed a strength many didn't typically see. She did so love to play damsel any other time- but now wasn't one of them.
"'m right here with ya, Pela. Let's get our friend here somewhere safer."

Truly, all of it almost seemed completely outlandish ! She should have called the rest of the guards right in that very moment ! But surely, this man wouldn't have been that much of a FOOL. Getting more names involved would require far more verificationㅤ—ㅤand if even one person disproved any of his claims, it would have established him as UNTRUSTWORTHY even further.
˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤShe's heard of WILDFIRE at least. She didn't know much about the organizationㅤ—ㅤbut LADY BRONYA had spoken positively about the group after her experiences in the Underground.

˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤAzure hues blink upon the offer the man gave her. All of those duties that he had spoken of WOULD benefit the Silvermane Guards. Yet, most of them were already covered by the Silvermane Guards themselves. Except . . .

A few hasty nods, he understands that out of anyone involved with what occurred prior to the loss of Cocolia, he's the least likely to be believed for doing anything worthwhile for all of Belobog. However, one could argue that he's helped out the Underworld plenty... ❝ That's fine by me. Even the grassroots group down below... Wildfire ? They'd be able to put a word or two in for me. ❞ The name likely means nothing but if one were to venture into an explanation of their place in society down there, they'd be heroes too. It's a little wrong for him to take advantage of such status, but he did in fact lend them a hand... For a price.
Hugging his arms to his chest, he tilts his head in thought. Conman hadn't thought this far ahead, but he should've expected that an encounter with this intelligence officer would've meant she'd be meticulous in her line of questioning. ❝ Well, I'm sure every guard is used to seeing me && automatically assuming I'm up to no good... That's why we're chatting right now, isn't it ? ❞ Brief pause, emeralds dart to the ground, sweeping as he looks for anything to grasp. ❝ I could uh... Clean some weapons, shine some boots... Maybe even deliver some rations to the guards that are stationed out further. It's too cold for most, but I wouldn't mind. ❞

Though, as she led the other two through the snowy landscape, a thought crossed her mind. She wouldn't stick to too much idle chatter; not until they were all within the safety of the camp. But she had to make certain of ONE THING.
˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤSHE was used to the moreㅤ—ㅤGRUESOME aspects of being a Silvermane Guard. Even if she didn't typically fight alongside them, that didn't stop her from seeing the consequences. Usually, she did a good job of not letting it affect her too much. But she can't help but wonder . . .

Being new to the battlefields like this didn't make Eros any less eager to help. For one thing she knew was that she wanted to assist the people of the place she called home. Regardless if they were Underworld of Overworld native. Regardless of if it were here job or not. Her first priority always landed on those around her.
Carrying the wounded man is only a hassle because of the fact that she'd be faster just picking him up. But any show of that beyond human strength would a sign of what she was. Of the fact that she was hiding something. And she couldn't take that risk.
"I'll let ya know if I need th' help, sweetheart. F'er now- let's focus on gettin' movin'. If we have any unwanted company I'll do what I c'n t' help too."
