I do not own Fire Emblem, but I do own the OC.
Why the hell did I get cooking duty with Peri?
Okay, let me make my situation easier to understand:
I like Peri as a person. She's loyal to Xander as well as her fellow retainer, she does an extremely good job of taking out her enemies, and an extraordinarily amazing cook. It's just her somewhat... colorful personality that makes me wary of her.
THWACK!
"Hee hee. This steak will taste amazing," the blue-haired girl smiled. "I wonder what other things we can chop up? Oh, the blood still looks red. That's how you know it's a fresh kill!"
See what I mean?
It's not like I think of her badly. I'm just afraid of getting caught in her bloody crossfire. The butcher's knife that glowed a crimson red made my nerves stand on end. My breath hitched when she beamed an innocent grin at me. In my brain, that manifested into something more sadistic and bloodthirsty.
At that moment, I felt relieved that we aren't enemies, but allies for the same cause.
Control yourself, Sara. You've dealt with way worse than this. Breathe! Breath damn me! HOOO...HAAAAA! HOOO...HAAAAA!HOOO...HAAAAA! Okay, better now.
"Why don't we make a berry sauce?" I suggested, trying to keep the tremor in my voice leveled. "We still have several of them from our last harvest."
"That's a great idea, Sara! I'll go get the hammer! This'll be fun!"
... I have no one else to blame this on, but myself.
I have no clue why I wrote this, but I think I got a good grasp on how most people think of Peri at first glance. Once you know her backstory, it just makes sense and it made me feel sorry for her.
