Nari-Lanreth replied to Nari-Lanreth's topic in Beginner Floors
She could feel herself blink slowly as she watched Freyd's sudden outburst. An obvious ploy, she realised slowly, in order to detract the path of aggressive diplomacy that Nari had been taking in the moment, and one that she - eventually - realised was likely to be more successful than her own stance against the Treants. Whether through some measure of wisdom, understanding of Freyd's plans and intents, or pure dumbstruck reaction, Nari found herself remaining silent as Freyd continued to drive his overexaggerated excitement home. "Shut... up." The simple words were sudden, and yet -

"Somehow the word planning coming from you just sounds...weird." Onora stuck her tongue out as Nari threw a pinecone towards her, the piece lifted from the ground without thought and lobbed with a soft overarm throw. It landed well wide of the other player, rolling away into the grass and disappearing from sight. The jest had been expected as soon as Nari had stated the words, and she felt no real agitation at the joke thrown out towards her, but she knew that the reaction would be expected as much as the words. Instead of playing into it further, however, Nari turned her attention back to the -
"Huh...? No I meant in the group of gir-" She ducked under a wide swing from Lilith, her look of surprise and confusion as much targeted towards NIGHT's commentary as Lilith's flailing assault attempts. The confusion had, at least for the moment, broken any of the residing anger and frustration that Nari had been feeling. She found herself breaking out into laughter as she ducked around another flurry of swipes and slashes. "Gods I'd forgotten what the character names were. No...I meant the idiots who thought they were vampires. Ironic, because...this thing." She'd waved at the creature

Nari considered the question calmly before responding, knowing that she would be doing something that she'd thus far refused to do. When she did speak, her voice was soft, and there was an obvious hesitation to the answer she gave, although there appeared to be no embarrassment of the topic at hand. "We...started out as roommates, I guess. Met on one of the lower floors, back when...when we were lonely. It's evolved...since then. Although what we are now...I cannot really say." She gave a soft shrug at the end of the sentence, realising that she wasn't entirely sure where the two of them -

Silence fell over the field as the final wolf exploded into the shimmering shards that marked death in the world of Aincrad. Nari felt her breath release, the held air pushing out with a soft whistling sound that signified the stress she'd been holding inside her the last few seconds. Her eyes shifted towards Onora, confirming that the blonde was safe and alright following the conflict. She considered crossing the small distance to ensure the other's safety, but figured such actions were unnecessary, and would likely only bother the blonde more than appease. Instead, she turned her attention t -

"NIGHT, to some degree, and Onora - another player that I've...that I currently live with." There was only the slightest hesitation in her explanation of Onora's relationship to herself. Out of the three, she knew that Onora had learnt the most about her, but somehow she was hesitant to place any sort of labelling upon their relationship. Shaking off the doubtfulness within her mind, she turned to raise an eyebrow at Freyd when he mentioned putting others of himself in the ground again, before nodding in response to the later conversation that may or may not occur. Instead, she turned to the n -

One of the wolves exploded into shards before it was given the chance to launch itself at Nari's form. She felt the impact as two others slammed into her shield, pushed off to the side even as she felt the third slam it's claws into the side of her head. She felt herself spin slightly to the side with the blow, her health bar barely reacting to the assault even though the force of it knocked her aside. She shook it off in time to see one of the wolves lash out at Onora, the blonde's longsword struck aside before the claws raked across her side, cutting a minimal amount of health from the bar i -

All thoughts of Nemo's currently expressions were left behind as Nari entered the fight in truth, spinning in the air as she brought the spear around in a wide arc meant to dislodge and drive back any form of resistance that her initial strike may have missed. She found herself landing in the centre of the mob of wolves, her spear tip slashing across the noses of each in kind - enough of a connection to drive the stun effect into their body, and allow Onora to follow up with precisely timed strikes from their sides, before the pair fell back into a defensive posture. "I don't think they -

Onora had already begun moving towards the small pack of wolves, even as Nari had pretended to recover from the shot to her ribs. Shaking her head and chasing after the blonde, Nari gave a quick glance over the area, making sure they weren't accidentally pulling in anything further during their travel between the two small areas. She could see a pair of Snapdragons in the distance, and a few of the large Knight creatures that carried razor sharp blades for hands. Her eyes shifted over Nemo, standing off by himself with a pleased look on his face, and Nari found herself pausing in step for a mo -

She'd expected argument, or perhaps placating words meant to bring her out of whatever depths of dreary thoughts she'd settled into in the past few moments of her explanation. Instead she was met with a simple statement that left her expressionless for a few breaths as her mind tried to catch up to what she was hearing. She found herself standing, staring with a slightly open mouth, as her tongue lulled uselessly inside, unable to move and produce the sounds required to communicate in the moment. When she finally came to, it was to state a simple word in response, before her mind was fully abl -

There was a lightness to their air as the party walked towards what had become known as Demon's Rectum. Nari hadn't been able to contain the laughter that erupted from her at the juvenile joke, having to turn away from the group for a few moments as they continued onwards. She'd caught the conversation, but found herself incapable of providing any serious input, stifling the laughter taking the majority of her concentration. As she turned back around, the small spats over, and Freyd rubbing his side from something that had occurred when Nari hadn't been looking, she found herself shooting a li -
"I wish I was joking..." Nari couldn't keep back the slight snarl in her voice as she uttered the words, remembering all too vividly the friendships that had fallen apart because of the beliefs of those around her. There had been such rush, such joy in the occurrence, and Nari couldn't help but feel a wash of bitterness. It had been utterly stupid, in her eyes, a horrible joke that had played out to actuality. She shook her head, thinking back to the release of the book. "Thirteen. And like most thirteen year olds...yeah, I had a thing for the mystery and unique and...whatever. But not like th

At some point during Freyd's dialogue, she had crossed her arms. An unconscious action that showed a true reflection of Nari's discomfort at the ideas. She didn't ignore them or reject them, instead she found discomfort in the reasonability behind them - a form of truth that she couldn't avoid. As his words came towards a close, she couldn't help but smirk in a non-humorous manner. The man spoke with such conviction and dedication that Nari couldn't help but respond in kind, to a degree. Perhaps this is why we can see the same paths, same intentions and goals. Of like minds and eyes. Arms stil -

A snort of laughter escaped from Nari Freyd feigned checking his watch, clearly displaying the lack of any such instrument designed to tell time or keep his schedule organised. The laughter was only invigorated by the further jest, confirming that he had some time to spend. It only died down when Freyd continued speaking, beginning what would become a lengthy explanation of his understanding of the world around them, at least to a small degree. Nari was quiet for most of it, refusing to interject and break the continuous flow of information and insight that she was being gifted with - and she -

"Starting to get tired yet?" Onora's head had begun to sink slowly, a sign that they had been settled for far too long. They'd been here for longer than Nari had originally planned, and she found that she was mimicking the blonde's sentiment. Giving a slight nod towards the wolves, Onora added to her original question. "Should we go say hello before maybe heading home entirely? I know that you and they have been eyeing each other up the entire time we've been here, figured maybe you would want to get some time together." Nari's eyes shifted over the wolves, and she considered the possibil -

"It's a beautiful day, isn't it?" The question caught Nari off guard, and she found her eyes flitting around as if trying to figure out whether it truly was a nice day or not, her mind slowly catching up with the words even as she realised the simplicity in the query. Onora, who had seen the stunned response, shook with laughter as Nari slowly felt her face flush, punching the blonde softly in the shoulder as she settled back into her subconscious gathering attempts. She'd found little in the way of success so far, but that wasn't going to stop her from making attempts, at least. "It's always -
"Tolerate...that's certainly a word that could be used. I would've leaned more towards taken an interest, but tolerated works too." She gave a flash of a smirk towards Freyd even as she considered everything she'd just learn in the last few moments. She'd known, since first meeting him, that there was more to Freyd than a simple gamer. The man had an aura to him, one that seemed to be shrouded in mystery and allure. One which had caught her attention, but had always remained more question than answer. Now, she found that she had the possibility towards some answers - and she'd already received

Her face took on a sour appearance as she glanced between Lilith's newly risen form, and NIGHT's calmness. She found herself shaking her head as the other commented on the resurgence - something Nari had noticed as well, albeit for differing reasons most likely. When she spoke, there was a tinge of distaste in her voice, a way in which the words almost felt whiplash, as if trying to cut the topic to shreds without harming the speaker or listener. "I'd heard about the resurgence as well, but...no...that book cost me some friendships. All because some idiots actually believed it." She turn

Nari was silent for a few seconds as she considered Onora's words. They were such an echo to her own thoughts that she couldn't help but wonder if Onora was reading her mind, saying aloud what Nari had been worried to admit to from the beginning. She wondered, for a brief moment, if the other was little more than Cardinal projecting some imagery of a person upon her - but that was dismissed as she realised the impossible. Instead, she found herself considering how alike the two of them were. When she did reply, her voice was soft and subdued. "Why shouldn't we take some enjoyment from it, then
