No, the smarter thing would have been to have left when she first saw that vision.
Her panic is increasing, something her chocobo seems to sense and is absorbing. Without reigns it's far more difficult to control as it is but now its acting all on its own, halting to a stop and bristling its feathers at the encroaching knights.
Back in Falcon's Nest Aymeric's shouts reached their intent. The collection of people outside largely comprised of adventurers and merchants passing through, and many were drawn in by the shouting and commotion they'd heard.
His commander officer turned sharply towards him opening his mouth to snarl. When he saw who it was there was a split second of hesitation but then he regained himself and narrowed his eyes. "Borel. What in the seven hells do you think you are doing," he hissed quietly, trying to not draw further attention from all the eyes suddenly on them.
"Get back to your post."
The archer remained crouched on the ground, their eyes flickering up towards the two, before back on his target, waiting for the command to shoot.
no subject
Gazing upon on the swift change in his commanding officer's expression, the question sprang up anew. If his suspicions were correct, perhaps he could use them to his advantage here.
"Ser, I cannot," he spoke first, as he came to a halt close by. Out of respect for the man whom he served, he lowered his voice so that the three of them were the only ones to hear. Hopefully. "I understand my duty to the Holy See, but I also swore an oath to the people of Ishgard, to those who live both inside her walls and beyond. This girl is but a child. Should she not be allowed to plead her case? Perhaps—"
The breath caught in his chest, though he did his best to prevent his worry and fear for the girl to show on his face. He must not fail her now.
"—we could take her to the Archbishop himself and see what he believes we must do with her. Surely, if she is so great a threat, His Worship would wish to see to her sentence himself." A moment passed and then he straightened further. "I shall take full responsibility for what comes to pass."
no subject
Yet the rumors are never far from his mind and the very fact that Borel brought up bringing her to the archbishop makes him rethink this. On one hand he could face trouble for bothering the arch bishop with what should be a trifling matter. The stories they had heard from the townspeople of her sympathy towards dragons and lies of a time of peace were enough.
On the other hand if this man was indeed the Thordan's son then he might know better than most what their ruler would want.
It's only when Aymeric says that he will take full responsibility that the Commander finally relents and with an exhale of irritation he responds: "See that you do, Borel, and do not be blinded by her youth. With her words and actions she has deliberately turned her back on Ishgard, she is no longer of its people. Should harm come to ours because of her actions, their blood will be on your hands."
With that he turned to the archer.
"Go to the flag bearer. Tell them to signal to the others that she should be brought in, hale." For a brief moment there was a look of relief on the archer's face and they shared a glance with Aymeric, before nodding and racing off.
Ysayle knew not what the sight of a motion of two flags from the wall meant, but it must have meant something to the soldiers around her. There was a murmured exchange between them before one finally pulled his chocobo next to her and roughly grabbed her by the arm, hauling her onto their chocobo.
"Come and don't make a fuss, girl."
She's not sure what they expect her to do but she keeps her mouth shut as they race back to Falcon's Nest.
no subject
"Of course. I understand." And he did. If this all fell apart around them and she truly turned out to be a danger, the fault would be his and he understood that well. Still, something in the pit of his stomach told him that he was right and whether this was the Fury's nudge or something else entirely, he wanted to see it through. He needed to do so.
A moment passed as the flags rose and as Aymeric spied the girl being hauled onto another chocobo, he spared one last glance at his commanding officer. "Thank you," was all he offered in response, a quiet acknowledgement that this was a favor he knew he would be required to repay one day. Whether it was trust, fear, or something else that had caused the man to change his mind, Aymeric understood the cost to him personally and professionally and would not forget it.
All of that was shoved to the side as the girl was brought back towards them and Aymeric slid back into his rank, causing no other fuss and calming what required calming among his comrades. A part of him worried over what would come next, though he knew no good would come of that. So he waited, ready to be dragged in front of the archbishop to explain his position — and fully aware of the irony that, if he was indeed dragged hither, 'twould be a supposed heretic that granted him the audience with his father that he had craved for so long and not the boy himself.
Theirs was a cruel world indeed.
no subject
Archbishop? They intend to take her to him?
A bit of hope fills her. He is a good man. Surely be must be, for he had been anointed by Halone herself, hadn't he? That is what her parents had said....yet that in turn fills her with unease once more. Could she really trust their words? Or had she really done something wrong?
If this many people were angry then perhaps it was so.
Eventually the knights seemed to figure out what to do and her arms were put in a pillory--thankfully her head was left free--and she was shoved into the back of hooded cart. She felt a soldier board as well but at first she dared not look up. Scared as she was she knew that she had to compose herself.
The cart lurched forward as the chocobo began to pull it towards...well. She could only assume Ishgard. The young Elezen swallowed the knot in her throat and straightened her back, finally risking a glance at the soldier doubtless meant to guard her.
no subject
The knowledge was enough to spin some measure of nerves within the pit of his stomach, a heavy knot forming and remaining like a stone. If this did not work, or if she gave any of the Temple Knights cause for concern, his rank and career would pay the price.
Taking a deep breath, he climbed into the cart next to her, knowing this would be the best place to ascertain for himself what threat she posed, if any at all. Once inside, he nearly felt his resolve crumble, spying how desolate and afraid she seemed. This girl could be no older than fifteen, likely even younger than that. How truly frightened she must be.
Settling himself across from her, he rested his bow next to him, quiver left on his back as usual. This, he hoped, would send a message to her that he was not here on the assumption that she was dangerous or would cause trouble. He was not immediately armed, his weapon left to the side for the moment. Within reach, but not as an obvious threat. Allowing his eyes to take her in, he offered a small smile, warm and friendly but not so large as to seem insincere, given their current situation.
"Aymeric," he spoke after a moment, one hand lifting to his heart as though to suggest this was his name. "'Tis glad I am to see you."
Whatever she might think of him at the moment, those words were true. At least he could speak out of genuine concern for her, given that he was, after all, the reason she yet drew breath.
"We make for Ishgard," he continued, more to keep up conversation than because he thought she would respond. "The Temple Knights will secure an audience with the archbishop."
no subject
She eyes him dubiously, unable to help but wonder if this was some sort of trap, but why would he need that? She'd already been captured and it's not as if she'd be able to make a run for it.
"...Ysayle." She finally says.
The information he gives her confirms her suspicions and the faintest hint of hope blooms in her chest before it dims. Her hands shift in the pillory, wrists chafing and she drops her gaze, trying to sort out all that had happened.
"What's going to happen to me?" The Holy See did not grant mercy to those it deemed heretics and until now she had never thought to question it. After all, those were people who deliberately chose to harm others. Ysayle had never wanted such a thing, and now it made her question everything she had heard of such people.
where in the world did the month (two months sfkj) go...
The following question was as expected as it was difficult to answer. Aymeric let out a soft sigh in response, knowing that whatever answer he had would not be enough. In truth, he had no full answers, naught that would give her any amount of solace or comfort. All he could grasp was a desperate sort of hope that his words would be enough once they stood in front of the archbishop. The man had yet to so much as acknowledge him and now Aymeric's hopes rested upon the man at least taking into account their shared bloodline. Even if naught were spoken of it, he could hope that it would serve useful.
"You are to be taken to speak with Archbishop Thordan VII," Aymeric began slowly, choosing his words deliberately. There was only so much he could say, after all, and admitting that he had undermined his commanding officer in the middle of a battle operation would not go over well if overheard. "The hope being that your abilities might be used in service to Ishgard. I have been appointed to accompany you and argue in your defense."
More like he was expected to do so because of something that happened outside, some chaos he caused. Truth be told, Aymeric could not find it in himself to regret his actions and though they still were unaware of the end result, he had at least saved her in the interim. That was more than worth the trouble he would be in later.
"What happens after will be up to you."
Her fate was not yet sealed. There was still hope that they could convince the archbishop of her innocence, that she had just been a child who knew no better, who had seen something she did not understand. She was no heretic, no enemy of Ishgard. Of this Aymeric was convinced and he would fight to his dying breath to prove it.
time sure flies, happy new years!!
She wanted to trust that smile, she wanted to so badly but it didn't make any sense to her.
At the very least his words do and her eyes flicker back up to him as he speaks. If she was being taken to the Archbishop there was hope. Often she knew Inquisitors and Knights took care of heretics all on their own, which meant that they must realize there was room for doubt in her case. Yet something about all this wasn't adding up. If that was the case why bring the Knights at all? Why all the show? This all seemed like...a lot for simply escorting her to the capital.
The gears in her head were clearly turning and she straightened her back to look more clearly at Aymeric.
If he's been appointed as her defense then she supposes she has no choice but to rely him. She knows little of how things are done in Ishgard and she doubts that she alone could convince anyone of her intention so she takes a deep breath in and nods.
"Then. What do you need to know?"
fskjad it SURE DOES, jan was a lie, i swear it was just dec...
For the moment, when his mind finally kicks back into gear, he considers their options as best he can. He knows little to nothing of what she actually saw, what her visions are truly like. Perhaps asking more about those is the key. If there is anything at all that they can use to bolster the idea that she is harmless and an asset to the Holy See, the better.
"Admittedly, I know little and less of your abilities." Perhaps not the right thing to say at the moment, but at least it will tell her that he had no ulterior motives when he argued to save her life. He simply desired to prevent a child from being brutally murdered in the streets, a child who had not fought back, who had simply spoken words of what she had seen. "Is there aught you could potentially use to aid the Holy See, something that would help end this War or give us a better way to protect the city?"
no subject
His words do give her hope. After all, hadn't that been what she'd been doing? Everyone had been content to use her visions as aid until she started talking about peace and a history that went against what was taught by the Holy See.
"I. Yes.' She tries to twist her hands, a nervous habit of hers, but they are locked firmly in place so she can only fidget instead. Would he believe her?
"I've suffered visions for as long as I can recall. I am not certain what they are exactly. Memories, perchance? Tis not something I have a hold on. They just. Happen. All their own. And the person doesn't have to be close either. Sometime I."
Ysayle pauses. She knows with much more certainty what it is that's happening, but she thinks saying it more passively will seem less imposing. Less wrong.
"I think--believe. I'm not certain that I've been in the mind of dragons. I've heard of their plans and a number of times I've relayed it to the soldiers. They were able to better prepare for them because of it."
no subject
Nervous enough at the pressure upon both of their shoulders, Aymeric latches onto what Ysayle tells him, nodding. This is something he can use. "Good, good," he murmurs, attempting to smile encouragingly at her as he turns over this new information in his head. "We can use that. If we can convince the archbishop that you are a child of Halone gifted a power you are still grasping rather than a heretic, we should stand a chance." She seems to understand the gravity of the situation and so he trusts she will follow the only person who has shown her any kindness during this time.
"The archbishop is a good man. He will see reason," Aymeric continues, though his voice falters slightly, not because he doubts that statement but rather because of his own misgivings. His heritage looms like a noose, ready to either give him what he hopes for or to cast him aside. Whether or not he and Ysayle succeed will depend on how they address their position... and whether or not Archbishop Thordan VII will acknowledge Aymeric's blood.
Regardless, they have a chance and Aymeric feels more hopeful than he did when he climbed into the transport to speak with Ysayle. "No matter what happens, I shall stand at your side. Together, we will weather this storm." After all, in a manner of speaking, his head is now on the line just as much as hers. Yet, even if it were not, he would still be here to give her aid, as that is simply the type of person he has always been.
no subject
Ysayle had always just been scared by the visions. They came when and if they pleased and she had little to no control over them. To her it had never seemed like anything near a gift. She felt the least she could do was make use of it to help others--it was something that aided her as much as any lives that she might save to feel that the nightmares weren't all for nothing.
Yet there still lingers some doubt. This was man was kind yet in the face of the overwhelming amount of opposition she still can't help but wonder...
"Have. I done something wrong?"
Less and less she is doubting this man's sincerity, but that still doesn't mean he can't be wrong. If that is the case she fears dragging him down with her.
my apologies for the wait!! life happened... ty for your patience ♥
Aymeric's response is immediate and firm without sounding sharp. 'Tis easy to understand her fear, clapped in irons the way that she has been. Anyone would be anxious or afraid and all that he has seen of her suggests that she is a gods-fearing child devoted to Halone. Were they anywhere else, anywhere he might speak more freely than here, he would offer as many words of comfort as he could. As it stands currently, his options are limited. Regardless, he can offer one small explanation.
"We Ishgardians are a proud people, but in times of strife, even we are known to fear that which we do not understand."
And, in this case, her visions are an unknown; the fact that she has taken to speaking of dragons does not help that fear. Which is why he believes that their best course of action is to convince the Archbishop that she is a child of Halone with a power she does not understand. She has done naught but offer aid; perhaps they ought to allow her time to discover how to interpret and use her powers for the greater good.
"Fear not, my friend," he says gently, with a smile to match. "You are not alone in this. I have faith that all will be set to rights. We need only believe and the Fury will guide us."
It may not be much, but 'tis all he has to offer her at the moment. With any luck at all, she will be able to take some comfort in his words as they are carted across the highlands to Ishgard... and to the Vault.
my turn to apologize, so sorry!!
Her lips part, for a moment unsure of what to say, feeling like she should have a proper response to that but it leaves her at a loss. For so many years she had seen the doubt and scrutiny in people's eyes. Even when she first began to see these visions, when she used them solely for the aid of others and had yet to speak of the good she had seen among dragons it had been there.
She saw no such disdain in this man's eyes, and the kindness in his voice nearly undid her. Her eyes filmed for a moment but she screwed her eyes shut, took a deep breath in, and straightens her back. When she opens her eyes again they are clear and determined. It wasn't just her life on the line now...this man was risking his neck to help her too and she would not betray the faith he had put in her.
"Thank you."
She tensed again when the wagon came to halt--did this mean they had arrived? It felt like time had raced by and her stomach twisted in a knot but when the covers were drawn back she kept her composure.
"We've arrived at the gates," a soldier reported solemnly, " out, the both of ye."
