Time for Chaos(Rose/Alexandre) [FPP – Chaos Eclipse Takes Over]
Tue Jul 25, 2023 12:17 pm
Speaking of distractions, he heard something. About Rush Valley and an invasion. He figured he could do that. Suddenly someone approached them. Someone he did not even notice. It was a rather young girl. Well while she was 20, to him she looked younger. Like teetering on the age of 18, which made him think how he didnt know Paradise Dawn took kids in as well. What fooled him was her appearance, but her attitude as well. So eager and chipper and ... bouncy, if thats what you can use to describe a personality. She asked him to team up with her. Which was a bit surprising. He thought his appearance was offputting and not very welcoming. So another contribution to her seemingly younger age was still sense of... unawareness that he imagined. Because why else would a sensible adult be with him?
Alexandre looked around first to see if he can spot his usual partner. But he was nowhere to be seen. Alexandre was unaware if he went ahead or not. But considering someone wanted to do this with him, he shrugged and said
"Sure, lets do this"

Anywho speaking of names, he assumed he should say his. Its normally what you would do after someone introduces themselves
"Well, pleased to meet you Rose. My name is Alexandre" he left out his surname because he assumed the minstrelli surname would be difficult for someone to pronounce or understand. Besides, not like he cared. He had no family, no background, no nothing. He was just a name like any other. And a person like any other.
He got up from his seat
"Alright now. Lets go. They said we must go to Rush Valley." after all its best to go before the whole guild beats them to the punch and they get nothing to do.

"That wont be necessary. Just grab the bare essentials. Your arms and armour. As well as some minimal rations. I will get a mount for us. Have you ever ridden a horse?" he asked her just so he knows her experience. But in any case he was gonna lead and ride the horse. She can just hold onto him.
Alexandre doesnt own a horse, but he's sure no one minds if he borrows one.
He wasnt aware of her stances on horses. Then again he had no idea she was a Dragon Slayer. While he did suffer motion sickness, it wasnt from horses. Its more carriages. Plus he was at it for a longer time that he has better control over it. But ships? Yeah fuck those. Basically anything man made is what makes him sick. Mana cars and bikes. But natural stuff like horses nah. If anything when it comes to man made transports, its carriages that he handles the best. It makes him queezy and unpleasant at most. Basically dont expect him to enjoy a snack or a peaceful sleep in one of those. Just plain uncomftarbleness.
"I will let you get prepared. I will secure our ride. I will wait for you outside the guilds entrance" he said

The look she gave him was like... as if a child wanted something from their parent. Like escaping a grounding or asking something with a promise that they'd behave. He wondered if she was serious, but part of him knew that she was serious which actually sent him to such disbelief
"Uhm, you do realize that by the time we arrive there on foot, most of the questing, battling and rescuing would have been done by the guild mates and we would be just picking up the remains. Think of it this way. Peoples lives are at stake. Is it better to try and endure an inconvinience for a short while and help the innocent as soon as possible. Or is it better to leave innocents perish as we make our merry way slowly just because it wont make us feel queezy"
He spoke to her in a manner a parent would to their child. In a way a fatherly tone that tries to teach a child. He didnt know Roses age. And the girl sent him all kinds of mixed signals when it came to said age.
Instead of saying a yes or no. He let her decide what is the right thing when lives are on the line. Would she want blood on her hands and lives lost just becausee she will be temporary dizzy for a few minutes or would she do something as selfish and disregard the peril of others?
Granted, children dont know much about morals and helping people. They are young and need to be taught. But Alexandre was aware of Rose's age and education level and knowledge.
He thought of any other way to convince her to endure a short horse ride
"When I joined this guild. I traveled here by foot. It took me a day to traverse or more actually, because I was traveling from Orchidia. We can go there quickly by mount." he said as he tried to reasonw ith her. Although there was a third option, but it was much less pleasant for her
"The other option would be me knocking you out and traveling with you like that. If you're unconcious. You wont feel queezy and we get to travel quickly" he reasons with her. It would be the best of both worlds. But he doubted the girl would want to be knocked out, even if it was just the sleeper hold

So part of him wasnt sure if his fatherly side got to her or his threatening one. Though something says the threatening one, even tho he wagered it wasnt SO bad. Just put her in a sleeper hold. KO her and carry her on horseback there. She wakes up. Boom mission done.
But this was a win too as she went to get rations in a rush and such. He went out to wait for her by the mount as she got ready.
When she eventually arrived, he nodded and would help her up and sit on the horse. He soon enough did the same. But he didnt start to gallop with the animal yet. Instead he curiously would ask "Before we go. Can you tell me, what magic do you do?"
It was a hunch that he wanted to act on upon. If she was what he thought she was, perhaps he could help her with her problem

He moved his hand next to hers and mimicked her moion of making a ping pong ball sized ball, but made of ice "Well, I guess you're in luck, as I too am a dragon slayer, so I understand you more than you think"
And using his own knowledge, he'd explain the motion sickness part "Dragon Slayers suffer from severe motion sickness due to the synchronization between the large gap of a human's semicircular canals and a Dragon's visual acuity that our magic gives us. If you want more information, I can tell you some other time" since he's older and has been a dragon slayer for longer, as well as reading books on the topic, he had an idea why they suffered from that. So it wasnt just 'some reason'. Its just their magic was like that and their body cant match the magic.
Now, hoping he sort of earned her trust, he'd try to help her with motion sickness "I can deal with a horses or a living beings motion. Like a horse is just an animal that runs with its legs. I logic it out. If I get sick from a horse running, I should get sick if I run on my own two legs. I just see the horse as an ally or an extension of myself. It makes it easier for me to deal with it. I cant deal well with man made transports. But with animals, I at least see it as part of nature. Hopefully that helps you. I know that in my case, it helps if I see my ride as an ally, rather than an object" he spoke. He really hoped that tidbit of advice helps her out.
He wasnt gonna go and gallop just yet, so he stil gave her a bit of time to process all that and hopefully get in the right headset
"Im gonna go now. So get ready. Set. Go" he'd say and make the horse gallop and the two would make their way to Rush Valley, he hoped they would get there as fast as possible, so her travel time would be short

He let her process all the information he told her as he didnt want to bomb her with information and just mess her up by not letting her a chance to process it. So he gently told her that the two were gonna leave. And on his cue they left and the horse galloped.
He wasnt sure how she would feel but soon enough he could sense her happiness. Its like for the first time she'd get to enjoy the scenery in a way she hasnt gotten before.
Its as if she has no motion sickness. In a way she already handled it better then him. He'd still feel it, but it was just some small queeziness that was on a minor level that it was negligible.
Soon enough the duo would swiftly arrive to Rush Valley where they would be able to continue their adventure.
