Funny That 7: Of Falling Archers; SHOCK!

Stefan let out a sigh of resignation, smacking his hand to his forehead. He was rather screwed, like the current situation he and everyone else were in. Rolf couldn't move, otherwise he'd plummet and spear himself. Everyone else was just standing there, gawking with wide, trembling eyes. Like hell that was gonna help! That basically appointed him as the only rationally thinking person, so he shimmied along a bit, extending his hand.

"Yo Rolf! Jump and grab onto my arm!"

Everyone's jaws hit the ground and Rolf blinked, before a slightly ticked expression adorned his features.

"Are you crazy?"

Stefan shrugged casually.

"I've been told so, but anyways, just trust me!"

"How the heck do I know you won't bring your hand back and say psyche!?"

''Cause I'm not a heartless cur.' Stefan inwardly groaned, brooding at Rolf's display of distrust.

He'd get revenge eventually, but he wasn't going to commit a homicide, was he?

"Look Rolf, just trust me, ok?"

"Stefan!" Ike exclaimed through seething teeth, sweatdropping, "He can't jump!"

The green haired mans eyes darted towards the blue haired lord.

"Do you have any other ideas mate?"

Ike pursed his lips, before hanging his head and shaking it somewhat.

Elincia proceeded to tug at his sleeves, grabbing his attention after a while.

"What do you intend to do Ike?"

Thoughtful blue orbs interlocked with an intent brown, before another audible sigh sounded. Soren walked grimly over to Ike, attempting to keep his face as impassive as possible.

"Perhaps I can bring him down with a gentle wind spell?"

Ike's eyes widened, before he turned his head up to the two males.

"Hey! How windy is it up there?!"

Stefan grimaced.

"Very! No wind spell would help!"

Soren's brows furrowed as an agitated cat laguz folded his arms across his chest, tail thumping indignantly upon the ground. Ranulf rubbed his nose, before cocking his head to the side.

"Maybe me and Lethe can revert to our laguz form and run up the castle wall?"

Said female laguz's eyes shot fully open as she whipped her head around to meet the unwavering gaze from her friend. Lethe gulped, regaining her composure. After all, she was still not to grips with her feelings and Ranulf's reactions. They hadn't spoken for only a while, but it had dragged on and felt like an eternity. She finally nodded, resolve flashing in her eyes. He grinned somewhat at her, in a flash having gone from a human like appearance to a sleek feline. Lethe mimicked him and the two hastily sprang to action, triumphing against the castle walls while the others observed in a silent awe of their ability.

Rolf's foot sunk a little deeper and his arms flailed, trying to grab something to support himself. His hands only met the rough surface of the outer castle walls. He glanced down reluctantly; sweat defiantly clinging to his forehead.

Big mistake.

The stone holding him up was falling to pieces; debris falling every few seconds. He visibly blanched, the colour sucked from his face as he shifted uneasily, causing even more pieces to drop. He felt his stomach churn and lurch, so opted to snap his eyes shut and clutch his abdomen.

"Rolf its ok! Lethe and Ranulf are comin'!"

Upon hearing the reassurance in Stefan's voice, he cracked one eye open to see Ranulf attached to the wall, a tiny distance below him. The cat grinned and ushered for Rolf to get onto his back. The little archer obliged and Lethe joined them, side by side with Ranulf as backup. Sighs of relief chorused, just as basically the entire 'gang' zoomed around the corner, panting frantically. Oscar nearly fainted from the sight of his youngest brother speeding down the castle walls atop a laguz, but Boyd, sensing he was in good hands grinned broadly and cheered.

Titania rolled her eyes, while Mia and Rhys exchanged small smiles.

Oscar wasn't meant to be the one hyperventilating.

"Chill bro, the squirts fine." Boyd explained, clapping him on the back. Oscar managed a strained smile, which looked a tad demonic, making Boyd sweatdrop and politely cough as he backed away.

Ike exhaled a large breath when Ranulf and Lethe landed safely, Rolf smiling crookedly. Stefan smiled and jumped, earning gasps from everyone else. When he met the ground with no injury, Ike marched up to him, ocean eyes blazing with a fiery fury, eyebrow twitching.

"Why the hell didn't you tell us you could do that? Why didn't you take Rolf down?"

"He wouldn't come." The swordmaster responded simply, accompanied with his award winning smile. Ike had half a mind to whip out Ragnell, but his mind was sidetracked when Soren spoke.

"Well, well," he stated smugly, with an equally smug grin and a cocked brow, "what do we have here? Rolf's the kitten and Lethe and Ranulf are the parents."

Said laguz blushed, Ranulf reverting back to his man form, making Rolf slip off his back. He was caught by Lethe, who frowned down at him and quickly moved, so the outcome was his head met the ground. Brows burrowed, Ranulf shook his head, a depressed air about him.

"I and Lethe aren't like that. Besides," he snorted with disdain, crossing his arms, "She LIKES you!"

Soren blinked, before he rolled his eyes expertly.

"Idiot. She was crying and I comforted her."

Any jealous anger was replaced by concern as Ranulf's hands dropped to his sides, brows arched.

"Why was she crying?"

Another eyeroll.

Why was Ranulf so damn dense?

"She was confused by her feelings and nervous about the fact you figured out that-."

He was promptly cut off by a threatening feminine growl and coughed, sweatdropping and deigning not to finish his sentence. Ranulf's brows knitted together as he glanced solemnly at the girl, who muttered something incoherent and stormed off, getting many blinks from the spectators. Elincia winced from the tension, before approaching Ranulf cautiously.

"I believe it would be best if you give her a while to collect her thoughts and then talk to her."

Nods occurred at the same time, before Ranulf sighed and nodded gratefully.

"Yeah. Thanks."

He skulked off, aware of the eyes following him.

Soren tapped the red gem inserted a tad higher than the middle meeting way of his brows and shook his head.

"I've had enough drama. I'm going to read a book."

They let him depart without so much as a sound. Rolf ran to Oscar and Boyd, jubilant and they left, leaving the army general, Queen and swordmaster. Stefan glanced to and fro the couple, before grinning and saluting.

"Right. I'm gonna go now. Hopefully I won't meet Shinon on the way. Hopefully Lethe will be fine tomorrow. And Ike, don't be worried. She had no intention of telling Elincia. She don't give a damn!"

He shuddered, and then scowled.

Stefan's grin grew cockier. "Ok, I'll leave you two lovebirds allllooone." With the emphasis on the last two words, he left the two furiously flushed young adults to stand in silence, looking away from each other.

A curt cough from the Queen broke the long silence and she smiled awkwardly, bidding the young lord goodnight. She picked up her skirt and walked briskly away, Ike staring after her despondently.

Ike sighed long and loud, hanging his head, before a hand on his shoulder jostled him and he jerked. Heart racing, he gritted his teeth to Stefan smiling merrily at him, eyes closed. "You'll get her soon Ike. All in good time."

The lord smiled back pleasantly, before his expression darkened.

"Stay there Stefan while I go retrieve Ragnell…"

Funny That 7: Of Falling Archers; SHOCK!

Ike yawned as he sat up in his bed, stretching his aching limbs. He sat there, dazed expression in place as memories of what occurred yesterday flooded into his mind. He mentally rolled his eyes, before a nervous chuckle that he had memorised belonged to Elincia sounded right outside his door. His eyes shot open, his supposed sleepiness snatched from him. He jumped to his feet and ambled to his door, pressing his ear to it.

"Why hell your highness? Why are we outside the general's door? Why not outside mine?"

Ike's eyes flared with anger again.

It was Andrew…

"Uh, Sir Andrew….good morning. Did you sleep well?"

He could here the obvious notion that Elincia was uncomfortable in her voice and relaxed. He knew she was just uneasy, not just 'cause he needed her to be to keep his sanity…

"Dear God Elincia!"

The Queen and lords eyes widened.

"We've known each other for a week and yet…yet I feel-!"

Elincia stepped back, paling.

Ike's brows twitched as he pushed more on the door.

"That I love you!"

She nearly tripped over her feet as she continued to back up and Ike nearly wrenched the door open.

But he restrained the urge to strangle the ghastly prince.

"And I was thinking that we could…"

'Could what god damnit? What the heck are you planning Andrew?' Ike hissed to himself.

"Get married!"
