A/n- So there are a few commissions that I bundle together as scenes from what I think Rutger and Lilina's supports would be, and this is one of them. The next two probably won't be the B and A ones, but those will be coming eventually. Enjoy!

The Commission Files- File #13 Extended C-Support

Characters: Rutger, Lilina

Based on: Commission by kurisulez on Twitter

The war was only in it's beginning stages, the retaking of the Ostian capital soon turned into finding the sacred blade Durandal that Lord Eliwood of Pherae had used 20 years to defend Elibe from the madman Nergal and the first Fire Dragon that had crossed the Dragon's Gate in nearly a millennia. After a hard fought battle with some bandits trying to take the blade for themselves, Roy and his army had an encounter with the Wyvern General Narcian who they would have been decimated by if the Mage General of Etruria Cecilia hadn't swooped in to rescue them. After the dusk had settled and the army was moving back to regroup into safer Lycian territory a certain blue haired mage seeked to catch up with a friend she hadn't seen in ages.

"Rutger!" She said happily and cheerfully as she stood in front of him. "I'm so glad that you decided to join Roy's army against the forces of Bern! You two really saved me back in the castle, and those moves you put on that bandit leader Henning, you're swordsmanship is getting closer and closer to your mother's every day!" Unfortunately for her, the two of them hadn't gotten a chance to talk and Roy hadn't had the time to tell her what happened to Rutger's parents, so her saying something like that really wasn't the best idea. Luckily Rutger still had the sense to not lash out at her because of their past relationship.

"Hmph!" Was all that left his mouth as he brushed by Lilina, hoping that she would just leave him along like everyone else had. He was fine with Roy being busy leading the army, he could take care of himself and deal with what he needed to do to get his revenge on those Bernese dogs. But Lilina wasn't the type just to leave it at that, she was spirited and she loved her friends, so when they were acting weird she was concerned about them.

"Hey, come on, none of that Rutger, we're not fighting for our lives at the moment, you can come out of serious mode now, you know that." She told him as she followed behind. She had seen him serious before, but she figured it was just the technique that Rutger's father had taught him that allowed him to be serious in a fight but a normal and happy person afterwards. "Maybe you need to visit home and get a bit more training from your father." Lilina was quickly getting on Rutger's nerves, keeping on bringing up his parents in this situation. She was smart right? Didn't she know what happened? Roy told her about Lord Hector right, why wouldn't he tell her about what happened to his parents? Either way he started walking faster, his longer strides allowing him to make some distance from Lilina. Maybe he could lose her in the crowd if he walked fast enough? Nope, she still wasn't giving up.

"Rutger! What is your deal!? Why are you acting like such a jerk?! I mean I can kind of get acting shy with all these new people around, even if that still is kind of weird for you, but I don't get why you are acting this way towards me!" Lilina said running up and grabbing his arm to slow him down and so he couldn't get away. "You really think your parents would be happy about this?"

"MY PARENTS ARE DEAD!" Rutger finally exploded, not able to hold it back any more. "The Bern army killed them in Bulgar and now I'm dedicating my life to killing every last one of them for revenge! The Rutger you knew before is dead and gone and he's never coming back!" Of course Lilina was shocked to hear that so suddenly and so loudly so she let go of Rutger's arm and just stood there not knowing what to say. Rutger took that chance to slip into the crowd of the army and get away, but this wasn't going to be the last time this topic was going to be breached, Lilina was going to make sure of that.

"Okay, so he's hurting, I can understand that." Lilina said to herself to calm down. "And because I can understand that since I went through the same thing I can help him out right? I mean I'm not all edgy and broody at the moment. Yes I do feel sad from time to time, but I think that I'm doing well. At least I hope I am." She took a deep breath before her confidence came back. "No, there can't be any doubt, I can help Rutger out, and who knows maybe helping him out will help me deal with what I'm going through as well. He might want me to leave him alone, but he should know better when it comes to me, I don't give up on my friends, no matter how far they have fallen."
