The most heroic bronie
Characters: Lancer and you!
Setting: Dormitories on January 1, and then throughout the Tower
Format: Open, anything goes!
Summary: Lancer enjoys his regain
Warnings: None right now.
A. Room 4-16, January 1
[The strange noises from floor 101 had drawn Lancer's attention, so he had gone to investigate. To his surprise, he had found a teleporter and a secret floor and Aria's strange machine. Knowing that it was a matter replicator, he had jokingly requested one of his horses.]
[Of course, it was only a joke to him. As he heads back to his room, he doesn't actually expect to hear horse whinnies actually echoing through the halls of the dormitories. As he rushes over to his room, he hears the whinnying increasing in volume, followed by dog barks and the sound of gnashing teeth. In addition, his nose picks up on the distinct scent of both Mac an Chuill and a horse.]
[He more or less kicks the door down the second he arrives at room 4-16. As soon as he pokes his head into the room, he can see Mac an Chuill and a big grey Irish draught horse trying their best to bite, stomp, or claw each other. It seems to be a stalemate, with neither of them successfully wounding the other yet.]
Hey!
[He calls to the horse, followed by a sharp whistle and a wave. Both of the animals pause at the familiar voice, and the horse, forgetting Mac an Chuill's presence completely, rushes over to his master.]
She did it! She really did it!
[Cu Chulainn's voice as he pets his horse is half part delight, and half part surprise. He hadn't expected that Aria would actually be able to give him his horse back, but there she is. Liath Macha, in the flesh.]
I missed you, big guy!
[Standing on his tiptoes, he gives the horse a big hug. He can feel that even with her master present, Liath Macha is still tense about the unfamiliar space and the unwelcome addition to her territory. In addition to her tensed muscles, she's stamping one of her front feet on the ground and letting out irritated snorts.]
...Let's get away from her for a bit, okay?
[Cu Chulainn knows his horse. He knows how wild and spirited and aggressive she is. And he knows the best thing to do is to take her out and work off her energy, then bring her back when she's tired and calm. He pats her on the head and, grabbing her mane, springs on her back in a move that both master and ride are familiar with.]
B. Throughout the Tower, any day
[The look on Cu Chulainn's face as he rides his horse down the stairs and onto floors is one of pure, childish excitement. The giant of a horse stampedes through floors, hopping over or kicking down obstacles. Every so often, it pauses to much on things that attract its interest or its ire. If its owner notices its behavior, then he doesn't care, since he never makes any effort to stop it.]
[Whenever they encounter anyone during their stops, Lancer always calls to them to join him.]
Hey, you wanna get on? It's fun!

Perhaps your experience extends past my own, and you know better, but I would doubt.
Then again, one cannot blame you; one would cling to any glimmer of hope in this dark place.
Or, a glammer of hope, perhaps is more accurate.

One might wish your optimism was contagious.
[ a sentiment kirei personally does not share. ]
no subject
...Are you really gonna choose to be dour all the time though? That's no fun.
no subject
It is not choice; it is my nature.
[ as far as he understands it ]

[ A pause, and then: ]
If you have been here for a year, then perhaps you met the woman who was my wife.
no subject
[Looking at his gloomy face now, Lancer really can't think of Kirei as being married.]
no subject
She died, in my memory. In hers, our roles are reversed.
Have you met a woman named Claudia?
no subject
[His mouth drops open.]
H-hold on! You're her husband? The dead one?
[He really can't connect them together. They seems opposite in his mind.[
no subject
Although in my world, I survived.
[ He clarifies out of necessity, rather than defensiveness. He is accustomed to the idea that he was dead in Claudia's world -- he honestly thinks it's a truer fate for him. ]
It is wrong to call me her husband still.
no subject
[His expression softens and he gives Kirei a sympathetic smile.]
So you decided to let her go, huh?
no subject
[ Kirei can recognize the sympathy on Lancer's face, but it is unfitting. The Servant expects sorrow from him, and he is mistaken. ]
It is for the best; it was a mutual decision.
She is better on her own.
no subject
Kariya's a good man. I'm sure she's happy with him. Especially now he's been cured of his worms.
