Laughter (Bergil)
"Any way to help"
War was terrifying. He was torn between wanting to flee with the women, and staying to fight. But his father would be disappointed if he fled, so he and his friends joked around, making it seem like nothing scared them. He soon noticed that his father, and the other members of the guard, welcomed the light-hearted temperament, even if everyone knew it was just an act. He was too young to actually fight – still a boy in that respect – but he was old enough to want to defend his city from within, so he looked for any way to help.
Exactly 100 words. Thanks to Peppery Mints for this one. More prompts are very welcome (please use the form Theme, Character, "Prompt" e.g. Laughter, Bergil, "Any way to help"). No OCs or anime-filler characters, please, but any other character, however obscure, is welcome.
Oh yeah, if anyone's interested I'm now accepting fic requests. More details are on my profile.
