-=: SERRA'S POV :=-
I was silently steaming to myself as we walked to Kathelet. But for all I know, it could be called Cathaleet because APPARENTLY any way I pronounce something is the wrong way according to Mr. Serious Nomad and Mr. Stuck-up Knight. But I'm ranting. As I said, we were on our way to Kathelet. Kent had been quiet ever since I whacked him over the head with my heal staff and Rath had been quiet as ever since I snapped his bow in two. They both occasionally glared at me, though. I didn't care. They shouldn't be correcting a sensitive, pretty, nice, sweet, humble priestess like me. It just wasn't nice. Erk had been quiet, too. In fact, the only ones who had talked at all the last few hours were Wil and Matthew. Matthew was confusing me. Why hadn't he acknowledged me? We were friends back in Ostia! Why was he pretending not to know me now? 'He probably just doesn't want to make the other guys jealous with the fact he's known me so much longer.' I thought and giggled. Erk gave me a look like I was insane for giggling when no one had said anything to me. I stuck my tongue out at him and he just rolled his eyes.
"Must you always be so immature?" He asked me grumpily.
"Must you always be so grumpy?" I countered. He looked at me with a grumpy expression.
"I'm not grumpy!" he stated in a definitely grumpy tone of voice. I laughed at him and he glared at me, so I laughed again. But since I was laughing I didn't see the small stone in the middle of the road. I tripped over it and threw out my arms and prepared myself for the impact of hitting the ground. But it never came. I looked down and saw two arms wrapped around my waist that were keeping me from falling. I looked back and saw that the arms belonged to Erk. I stared at him in confusion. Did he actually care about me? Erk noticed my surprised look and released me. He stepped backwards with a growing hue of red on his face. "I just didn't want my employer to fall down and bust their head open just because they couldn't watch where they were stepping." he explained matter-of-factly. But he didn't meet my eyes while he said this. Instead, he stared intently at the ground.
I was about to reply when I heard a voice somewhere far in front of us call back to us "Hey! Are you two coming or not?" I turned around and ran to catch up with the group with Erk close behind me. We steadily avoided each other for the rest of the walk. Eventually we reached Kathelet.
"Where are we, Kent?" Lyn asked the red-haired knight. I thought that was a bit stupid since we had made it quite clear before we left A-rap-hen that we were heading for Kathelet. For a lady, she really wasn't the brightest. But I suppose ladies don't have to think too much since they have advisors and such to do that for them.
"This is Kathelet." Kent reminded Lady Lyndis. "If we head due south, we'll pass into Caelin."
"From here, I'd say we're about ten days' ride to Castle Caelin." Sain estimated. "Assuming we don't run into any delays, of course." I thought that it was quite likely that we would. This group just seemed to invite danger, which was exactly why they needed such a talented cleric as me. And Erk was a rather okay bodyguard.
"Ten days…." Lyn mused to herself. She seemed to be rather anxious to get there and meet her grandfather, and I couldn't blame her. If I had family still alive and knew where they were I would want to meet them. I was looking wistfully off into the distance when I noticed a young boy running towards our group.
"Pardon me, but…" he said once he got close enough for us to hear him. He had strange, greenish hair and melancholy, brown eyes. He looked very worried about something.
"Yes? Can I help you?" Lyn asked the boy in a kind voice. But she looked a little cautious. Evil comes in all shapes and sizes, after all. Like bad hair days and broken necklaces.
"You and your friends…are you mercenaries?" the boy asked in a hopeful voice.
"And if we are?" Lady Lyn asked, guardedly. We didn't want to let any possible foes onto who we were.
"I need your help!" the boy pleaded. Lyn examined the boy's face while Kent spoke up from behind the lady.
"Milady Lyndis, you musn't let your guard down. Not even for a child." He warned. I hoped we would help the child just to spite the Caelin knight. I was bearing a teensy bit of a grudge about the whole A-rap-hen thing. Just a bit.
"I know." Lyn told Kent. She turned back to the boy. "Forgive me, but we're in a hurry. Is there someone else you can ask?" she suggested.
"There's not time! Ninian's been…It's my sister! Some men have taken her away!" the boy said desperately.
"Your sister?" said Sain, appearing from behind Kent. "Did you say your sister's been accosted?" he asked in a concerned voice. His interest sparked at the mention of a potential new female to flirt with.
"Sain…" Kent warned the flirtatious cavalier, but he just kept grinning in anticipation.
"That's right! By some cruel, awful men. I don't know what I'll do without Ninian!" the boy cried despairingly. He began to tear at the eyes and I felt a tug at my heart for the poor boy. I decided that if Lyn wouldn't help him, Erk and I would stay behind and save the boy's sister. I knew what it felt like to be alone in the world.
"Milady Lyndis! We must help me!" Sain said with less than pure motives. I was tired of the conversation. I knew we were going to end up helping the child no matter what Kent said. Lady Lyn just wasn't the type of person to abandon someone in need. I spotted Matthew standing at the back of the group and decided to go say hi. He had to talk to me at some point, right? The other men couldn't get insanely jealous over just a little friendly chat!
"Matthew! It's me, Serra! Remember me?" I asked the thief. He looked at me with a resigned expression. I guess he finally decided to talk to me and get it over with.
"You're a very difficult person to forget, Serra." He said. I didn't like the way that sound, but he couldn't have meant it that way, could he? This was my wonderful friend, Matthew! He had to mean that statement in the nicest way possible!
"You're so nice, Matthew!" I giggled. "I missed you too!" I said and grinned happily at him. He looked beyond me at Lady Lyn and the two knights. I turned around to hear Lyn mention something about the dark arts. I realized that I had been correct, as always, in supposing that we were helping the boy. Then I noticed what Matthew had been staring at. A beautiful, blonde woman was approaching our mercenary legion. By the look of her clothes I saw that she was a servant of Elimine also. A feeling of dread grew in me at the thought of having such competition for the title of prettiest girl in our small army. I walked over to learn about this newcomer. When I was back up with Lady Lyn, the new priestess was attacking a nearby shaman. 'Oh no! She must be really skilled to be able to use light magic already!' I thought to myself. The situation was growing decidedly worse.
-=: ERK'S POV :=-
Whilst Serra had been talking to Matthew, I had been listening to the conversation between Lady Lyndis and the two strangers. The strange looking boy with the kidnapped sister was named Nils and the Elimine priestess was, strangely enough, Lucius. I thought it was an odd name for such a pretty girl but decided not to say anything on the issue. I also could've sworn that I heard her say she was a monk but my ears must have been deceiving me. I was roused out of my thoughts by flute music. I turned towards the sound and saw the boy, Nils, was playing for Lucius.
"Erk!" Arianna called, coming up beside me. "You and Lucius need to head for that village over there!" she commanded and pointed at a small town near some mountains. A few enemies were in the way, but nothing I couldn't take. I walked up to the blonde girl and introduced myself.
"Hello. My name is Erk. I'm an anima mage." I said and bowed. "You are Lucius, aren't you? Or would you rather me call you by a nickname like Lucy since it sounds more feminine?" I asked. Lucius gave me an odd look almost as if she thought I had insulted her in some way.
"No, Lucius is my name and Lucius I would like to be called." She told me in a light voice laced with traces of irritation. I really couldn't see what I had said wrong. Maybe she didn't want to be feminine? I found that rather odd for such a lovely female.
"Alright then, Lucius, let me be frank." I began. She gave me another odd look.
"Frank?" she asked, confused. "I thought your name was Erk?" I almost sighed at her idiocy. Trust the pretty one to be a ditz.
"I meant be frank in telling you something." I elaborated. She blushed and gave a small 'oh'. I decided to say what I had been starting to say. "Not to be rude, but I really don't think a frail woman like yourself should fight in this battle. I think it would be better if you just healed for now." I suggested. She gave me a glare of a thousand curses and deaths.
"Are you making fun of me?" she demanded. "Are you mocking me just because I'm soft looking by calling me a woman? Is that what the whole 'Lucy' thing was about? I can't help if I look a little girly! And monks can't use heal staves, moron." she told me scathingly. For a priestess of Elimine, she really was quite short-tempered and rude.
"Look, Goldie Locks-" I started to reply but then stopped short as something she said hit me like a ton of Fire books. "M-monk? You are a…monk? You are a….MAN!?" I exclaimed and stared at her-he-IT with the most shocked expression of my life. He glared at me once more and nodded his head vigorously. I felt my face drain of all color only to turn a strong shade of burning red a second later. "My-my apologies, La-Lord Monk." I stuttered and bowed quickly. His blue eyes continued to glare at me with cold fire but he answered politely.
"Quite alright, Sir Erk." he stiffly replied. Then he returned the bow half-heartedly. "Sadly, it happens often. Although I don't believe any one has called me 'Goldie Locks' before." He commented and my face flamed a second time.
"Well, we should probably get hurrying over to that village." I said and stumbled off in its direction. The monk followed behind me, still fuming with holy rage.
-=: SERRA'S POV :=-
Heal, heal, heal! That's all I get to do around here! You'd think I was a cleric or something! Wait, I am. Anyways, we FINALLY fought our way to the leader of this group of evil peoples. Erk had gone to the village with the blonde priestess to my utter dismay. What if he became so infatuated with her that he forgot about me? I still needed an escort after all this Caelin stuff was finished! Not saying that the blonde girl's looks surpassed mine. They were just too close for comfort. But I digress…what was I talking about? Oh, yes, the boss battle! The boss had an unusual name. His name was Heintz. For some reason it made me think of those poisonous vegetables/fruits called tomatoes. After Lyn stabbed him Erk and the blonde woman returned from the village. Erk was blushing and the priestess looked a little red in the face herself. I grew very suspicious and irritated. What was my escort doing with another woman!? Not that I was jealous. I glared at Erk as we entered the fortress to look for the boy's, Nils', sister.
"Nils! Where's your sister?" Lyn asked as we wandered down the dark halls. Nils' eyes darted quickly around searching anxiously for a sign of his sibling.
"Ninian! Ninian…" He called desperately. "She's not here. Why? Where could she be?" he asked the anguish strong in his voice. I pitied the boy as Kent told Lyn about spotting a group of men riding south, but I had problems of my own. I had a disloyal escort! I glared at Erk again as he walked up beside me. He glanced at me with confusion etched on his face and looked ready to say something when a voice sounded from behind us.
"Are you looking for this girl here?" said a person and a man with red hair and blue clothing walked towards us carrying a woman that was undoubtedly Nils' sister. She was wearing dancer's clothing and had similar hair color to Nils. For some reason I got a strong feeling of foreshadowing when I saw the man.
"Ninian! Ninian!" Nils yelled and ran to inspect his sister who's eyes were closed.
"She'll be fine. She just lost consciousness." the man reassured him. Lyn looked at the man with distrust.
"Who are you?" she asked him. The man handed Ninian to Kent (Sain tried to take her but Kent knocked him out of the way) and gave Lady Lyn a small bow.
"I'm Eliwood, of Pherae. My father is the marquess." Lord Eliwood said and then looked to us, obviously waiting for an introduction.
"The marquess' son." Lyn said and I thought I heard Erk mutter something about 'RDOO's and their many appearances' but when I looked at him his mouth was shut and he was looking at me. When he saw my glance he gestured at the outside and made a hand motion of talking. I nodded and followed him out of the fortress as Lady Lyn shared her story with Lord Eliwood. Once we were outside, Erk turned to me with a puzzled expression.
"What were those glares for?" he asked. I suddenly remembered why I had been so angry before Lord Eliwood's appearance. Strange that I'd forget that soon. Maybe the Head Priestess' claims of me being a 'worthless airhead' had some truth to them.
"You know what they were for!" I told him hotly and his gaze became even more confused and a bit aggravated.
"No, I don't." he replied. "Would you care to explain?" he asked with an edge in his voice that I just didn't like. I could feel my face growing hot with anger.
"Don't play innocent! You both came back from that village blushing! I know what you and that girl did! She should be ashamed doing that when she's a priestess and you should be ashamed because you don't hardly know her!" I screamed at him. He blinked a few times and then got a very foreign emotion on his face. I couldn't quite place what it was, but it looked like a cross between embarrassment and confusion.
"I didn't do…that!" he said, his voice rising with each word. "We just went to the village and THAT'S ALL!" he yelled at me. I felt my face contorting into a look of complete rage.
"LOOK ME STRAIGHT IN THE EYE AND TELL ME YOU DIDN'T KISS HER!!!" I screeched at him and put my face so close to his that our noses almost touched. I looked into his eyes and tried to see if he was telling the truth but kept being distracted by how lovely his eyes were and how handsome he was up close. I mentally shook myself and watched for his reaction to my accusation. It was not one I would have expected.
(ErkxSerra fans: =expectant inhale=)
"K-kiss her!?" he stuttered and, surprisingly, didn't back away so our faces continued to be a speck apart. "You mean THAT'S what you thought we did!?"
"Yes! What did you think I thought you did?" I asked and I became mysteriously embarrassed.
"I thought you thought that me and her…well…you know…" he trailed off and refused to meet my eye again.
"PERVERT!" I screamed and slapped him across the face. "Don't think such dirty thoughts! And you had BETTER not have done that with her!!!" I ranted and stepped back. He rubbed his cheek and glared at me with a grumpy look.
(ErkxSerra fans: =disappointed exhale=)
"I wouldn't do that anyways with her! Because, as you have failed to notice, she is actually a-" he started but I didn't want to hear anymore from him.
"DON'T SAY ANOTHER WORD!" I screamed over my shoulder as I stormed back into the fortress. For some reason, the thought of him and that pretty girl kissing infuriated me. It really shouldn't have. I mean, he wasn't my boyfriend or anything! Can servants of Elimine even have boyfriends? As I drew near to the group, I saw that Lord Eliwood had already left. Lyn looked at me with concern.
"Is something wrong, Serra? We heard screaming." she said. I almost giggled at the mental image of the members of this legion rushing out to save me only to find me with my face so close to Erk's. It would have served that priestess, Lucy, I think her name was, right.
"Oh, it was just a minor disagreement between me and my servant." I explained. Lyn gave me a look but then we turned as the bard's sister gave a wail of distress.
"Oh…" Ninian cried softly.
"What's wrong, Ninian?" Nils asked worridly. Ninian was looking at a chain that was hanging around her neck.
"I've lost my ring." she said sadly and dropped the gold chain. Nils suddenly looked very upset again.
"Your ring?" Lyn questioned and I got the feeling that if Erk was there he would have tore out his hair at what sounded like yet another RDOO, whatever they were. This thought led me to wondering just where Erk had gotten to. I had a moment of horror at the thought that he might have gone off with Lucy, but then I noticed her talking to Sain. She looked quite frustrated about something and Sain looked like he was being very persistent. Just then I noticed Erk walk into the hallway from the corner of my eye. I quickly walked up to Matthew and started a conversation so I wouldn't have to talk to Erk again.
-=: ERK'S POV :=-
After the crazy cleric slapped me I was not keen to return to the group. I wandered around outside for a few moments before reentering the fortress. When I came to the hallway where my temporary group was talking I saw Serra spot me and quickly run over to Matthew. As I didn't want to talk to her anyways, I didn't take much offense to that. Instead I went to save Lucius from his pursuer.
"I swear I'm not a girl! Now please, don't bother me anymore!" Lucius was telling Sain in an exasperated voice. Sain just kept grinning stupidly.
"Now, now oh beauty of gold and sapphire!" he said and grabbed Lucius' hands in his own. "Do not be so modest! You are quite feminine! I have never seen such beauty in a priestess!" I felt a flash of anger at that statement. Then why did he flirt with Serra so much? But at least maybe this meant he would leave Serra alone from now on. It would be difficult to get Serra to Ostia if Sain followed to flirt with her. Seriously, that was my only reason for being glad about him leaving her alone. I mean it! Why are you looking at me like that?
"Excuse me, Sain." I interrupted as Lucius looked ready to send Saint to meet his maker. "I hate to be a bother, but I need to talk to MONK Lucius for a moment. He and I were discussing something earlier." I lied and made sure to put emphasis on the words that told Lucius' gender. Sain slowly got the picture.
"You mean…she…is….he?" he asked in shock. Lucius gave an outraged shriek.
"THAT'S WHAT I'VE BEEN TELLING YOU FOR THE LAST TWENTY MINUTES!!!" the monk shouted at Sain. Sain very quickly let go of Lucius' hands and hurried off to Lady Lyndis' side. Lucius sighed and turned to me with a small smile. "Thank you very much." he said in his most grateful tone.
"Eh, it was nothing. I hope it makes up for earlier." I answered and gave a shrug. I glanced sideways to see Serra watching me and Lucius with eyes that could rival a hawk's before it swooped down on its prey. "I have to have a chat with someone. Good day, Lord Monk." I said and strode towards Serra. She quickly turned her head and pretended to not have been watching me.
"There's no turning back now. Let's ride!" Lady Lyn was saying as I drew near and then everyone in the group rushed off. Everyone, that is, except Serra and I. Serra pretended to be starting to walk off but I could tell she had fallen behind on purpose.
"Serra." I said and she stopped walking. She slowly turned to me with a calm face.
"Yes?" she asked in a deceptively light voice.
"There is nothing between me and Lucius." I stated as perfectly clear as possible. "As I was saying before, Lucius is a-"
Serra cut me off. "A beautiful woman? A fair maiden? An example of how I should be, but am not?" She said with tears springing to her eyes.
"No, Lucius is a-" I tried again but it just made her more upset.
"I don't need to hear it! Just leave with your precious Lucy! I don't need an escort anyways!" she cried and turned quickly to run out of the room. I stopped her with a hand on her shoulder.
"Why must you always be so difficult?" I demanded and rubbed my head wearily. She swiped at her wet eyes.
"Why must you always be so mean!?' she shot back. I shook my head in defeat and started walking towards the exit.
"Come on, Miss Devil Cleric." I told her. "We've fallen far behind the group." She walked silently behind me until we caught up with our team that had been waiting for us a little ways up a road. Then we all rushed off in pursuit of this 'Black Fang' and a stupid little ring. Sometimes I really question this group's motives.
-=: OUTER POV :=-
Somewhere in one of the very many fortresses in the land, a blue haired girl was threatening an ugly man. "If you do not have the children when I return…my hand will deal you the Fang's punishment. Remember that. Bear it closely in your mind." the girl told him and then rode off. On her horse, of course! The man shuddered at the thought of that punishment. He knew what failure meant. Pizza taste-testing for a week! Few had survived the fatal flaws in the making of the pizzas.
'I must not fail no matter what the cost!' he told himself and prepared his troops for combat against the approaching legion.
Meanwhile, Lyn's Legion was drawing closer to the fortress. Erk was talking to Matthew about Serra. "You've known her a few years, right?" he was questioning the thief.
"Yes, a few years now." he responded.
"Has she always talked so much?" Erk asked. Matthew pondered for a moment.
"Well, she shut up once."
"Really?"
"Yeah, happiest five seconds of my life!"
As the two men laughed loudly Serra glanced at them with a suspicious gleam in her eye. She had a strong feeling that they were talking about her and she didn't like it. She watched them as Lyn's Legion arrived at the fortress.
"I believe they went in here." Lyn said as she looked around the small building. Erk hyperventilated from overdose of RDOO.
"Milady, are you really going in there to get the ring back?" Nils asked. Erk choked at yet another RDOO.
"No, we're going in there to use their toilet." Erk softly said in a sarcastic voice. The only ones that could hear him were Matthew and Wil, though. They both chuckled quietly causing Kent to give them discouraging looks.
"Yes, we are." Lyn answered the bard. Nils looked anxiously around the building.
"But this is their stronghold! They're bound to be well defended, not to mention well armed!" Nils exclaimed causing Erk to black out.
"You just did mention it." Matthew said driving Wil into loud laughter. Kent gave them both disapproving glares that they ignored. Serra shook her head at the stupidity and helped Erk pick himself back off the ground. Lyn's Legion swept through the fortress like a hurricane through Florida. The ugly man, Beyard, was soon very nervous.
"How? This can't be…they should be dead! Everyone! Get in there and finish them! This is our final chance!" he ordered but realized that he was doomed. Rather than be captured by the enemy, he walked to the back of the room and opened the oven. He pulled out the Black Fang's kitchen's latest pizza failure. Beyard readied himself then stuffed a piece in his mouth and chewed, holding his nose the whole time. He swallowed it with a disgusted shudder and waited for either death by mutant pizza or death by enemy warriors. The enemy got to him first. "I mustn't fail…I cannot fail. The consequences are too-" he began but was cut off by a rather violent lurch in his stomach. He tried to straighten himself and fight but before he could he was tied up. "Earghh…" he grunted as the legion shoved him against a wall. "Aaah…no…I…I cannot…" he muttered.
"Give us the ring! And swear us this oath…you must promise to leave these two alone. If I have your vow, I'll spare your life…" Lyn told him but it was too late for poor, ugly Beyard.
"Failure…means death…" he murmured and fell limp. Lyn examined his face closely and saw splotches of tomato sauce around his mouth.
"What!? Poison? He took his own life…" she said and Erk fell to the ground unconscious once more.
"Oh, come on!" Serra said and tried to pull him back up as Kent told Lyn his views on the enemy.
"Too…much…obviousness…" Erk strained to say as he was pulled back to his feet.
"Keep it together, Erky." she told him as he shook his head to rid it of the dizziness. "We're close to Caelin!" Serra said happily. The sooner it was over the sooner she could get to Ostia. It was really starting to look good to her compared to the crazy Caelin folk.
"Not close enough." Erk said as his eyes finally focused right and the world stopped spinning. But then he heard Lyn say something as they prepared to leave the fortress and head on towards Caelin.
"That Black Fang seems very dangerous…" Lyn stated and walked out the front door. Erk collapsed back to the ground and Serra gave a loud mix between a shriek and a sigh.
"Oh the obviousness…" Erk said in a pained voice. Serra hung her head and prayed to Elimine that Lyn wouldn't say anything obvious for the rest of the journey. Her hopes were in vain as you will find out but that's not till the next chapter. For the end of this chapter, Serra requests help from Matthew and together they drag Erk to his feet and out the door. Then the legion heads down the road to finally arrive in Caelin.
"Next stop is Caelin!" Lyn shouted happily. Then a loud thump echoed around the surrounding area.
"NOT AGAIN, ERKY!!!" Serra's screeches echoed soon after.

Arianna: Wow! There were some ErkxSerra moments! And they seem awfully possessive of each other, huh? 'Course, there can't be too much really romance stuff until Eliwood's story and the start of support conversations.
ErkxSerra fans: We'll take what we can get for now.
Arianna: Now, the moment you've all been waiting for, review responses!

REVIEW RESPONSES
()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()
:Ryzuki:
With Raven it's repossessioning. :D Although that's not even a word… Glad to cheer someone up. :) Cheering other people up cheers me up. Thanks for the review!
:The Story Master 125:
Please do stop them or I wouldn't have a story! Dead characters do not make for a good fanfic. Thanks for the review!
:GloomDrifter:
Your review had a comment in it that I really take to heart, for some strange reason of my own. :D Thanks for the review!
:Inferno-Hero:
I am going to continue it for Eliwood's. I might have a few moments of ErkxPriscilla just for suspense and such but I am a ErkxSerra fan and this is a ExS story so it will be them who get together in the end. I'm flattered that you're still reading it even though you love ExP. :D Thanks for the reviews!
:WildfireDreams:
Erk is one of my favorite characters, too. :D Thanks for the review!
:potter29vo:
I think there was a good bit of Serra's POV in this one. I find Erk more fun to write, though, because he's so sarcastic but I'll try not to leave Serra out in the future. Now Serra's jealous of Lucius of all people. Oo; Thanks for the review!
:Genocideking Archfiend:
Wowsers, have a long review cookie!
Erk: Where do you keep getting all these cookies from?
Mr. Grumpy Erk, concerned about me?
Erk: HAHAHA! That was a good one! =wipes tears of laughter from eyes=
Demons are good. So are demonesses. The RDOO just seem to grow and grow. Poor Erk will probably never get a waking moment for the rest of Lyn's Story with all her comments. Erk and Serra seem oblivious to each other's concern for the other. Erk commented on Lucius' hair but didn't seem too interested in Nils' flute playing. Of course, he didn't have to hear it too often and Nils hasn't played for him yet so he probably will get annoyed with it at some point. :) I don't think Erk can tell how funny he is because he keeps most of his thoughts to himself. If he said more of them out loud he'd probably realize his inner comic eventually.
Latisha: This is turning into a character discussion.
So, I like discussing characters. Especially Erky. :D But I really should be moving on, so let me wrap this response up. The pizza is being tested by lackies who fail their missions. And I'll make sure Jaffar remembers the sausage. :) Thanks for the long and in-depth review! They're the kind of reviews I appreciate the most.
:SweetMisery430:
Yes, it will go through Eliwood's story, which means this is going to be a LONG fic. But I'm having fun with it, so that's okay. :D Thanks for the review!
:Lord Slasher:
Ugh, homework sucks. It's not fair to have to go to school all day and then have to do work at home too! Thanks for the review!
:Lady Lyndis:
I'll try to keep the work good if it is good. :) Thanks for the review!
:xZero84x:
How did you make that noise? Bwah…no, that's not it…beh? Still not it…. Oh well, that can be your own personal laugh. Thanks for the review!
:Jargonelle:
"If you know you're right you have to fight for it. Even against Serra."
That is now on my list of favorite statements I've received in reviews. I found it very funny. :) Thanks for the compliments and the review!
:Scarabsi:
What is mean about 'Lyndis' Losers'? It just means they didn't win!
Lyn: But we did win so HA HA!
Hmm….oh well. I'm guessing you were one of the people with the Yaoi fan banners when Wil giggled? KISS SERRA, ERKY!
Erk: I can't until Eliwood's story.
Serra: Are you possibly saying you don't want to kiss me?
Erk: =growing nervous= No, I'm just saying I can't yet!
I'll let them fight that one out. Thanks for the review!
:Lloyd Irving:
I've seen most of those pictures on another site a reviewer told me about but I had not seen some of them so thanks very much for the link. :) The problem isn't how big the pizza is, it's making a pizza that won't poison people. And trying to recapture Nils and Ninian at the same time. It's not an easy life being in the Black Fang…. Thanks for the review!
