hmmm thinking about the vina death made me think about the alphonse death made me go back to the scene with auberon and cerise at the campfire that night. fucking HATE it here <3

#they were. SO open with each other........... #i mean. as far as that goes with them-- #like. it's less obvious bc she's less withdrawn than SOME ppl in this party but. cerise talked about rhest! #and not for practical 'i have to talk about this to Make People Understand or Get Them On My Side' reasons just for! 'this was fucked!' #'the general came and saw what was happening to us and didn't even care! alphonse cared but didn't/couldn't do anything!' #she was still vague about it but she TALKED about it on PURPOSE! #she doesn't DO that she only talks about it Strategically #and auberon talked about vis like....family! hopes for the future! etc! #hell auberon INITIATED the conversation!!!! ve STARTED it! when has THAT ever happened! #they talked about arborea and agricola! #they talked about leadership and war and who you become in order to be at war the dramatic irony fucking STINGS now #AND earlier that day they talked about spirit stuff! (bc cerise managed to hit the correct 'this is the Practical Thing To Do' button but--) #and then. the next day was when they found Parent #thinking about cerise just fucking. sitting there next to ver as ve was sitting by the tree trunk. for an HOUR #and it was. maybe the only time auberon's cried on screen? or in front of someone else? #cerise just pulling auberon into her arms because that's her INSTINCT and ve. not responding but also not pulling away-- #her Physically pulling ver away from Parent (which was a distinct moment of me making a character do something i Wouldn't) #the fact that i'm STILL not sure either in or out of character if it was good that she was there!!!!! #they were just. they were SO open with each other on that road trip! and now things are Like This! #but that's WHY she feels Ok about all of this is that auberon is here it's why she's even considering leaving to be on a strike team #she trusts ver!!!! and i *think* ve also trusts her? maybe? idk i'm not in bron's head #but still. things are Like This!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #cha:cerise #c:crop #this is a topic for a whole other post but i realized the crop party bond is like. the camp counselor bond #which is a Very Specific bond #a lot of dnd party bonds are like that i think
