[Closed] We work hard, and then we work harder.
Who: Edelgard von Hresvelg & Various
When: Early June
Where: Aefenglom and Dorchacht, and At Sea
What: Edelgard does some quests with her CR
Warnings: Violence, and Edelgard's usual warnings of human experimentation, blood in a vampiric context, and talk of death and war.
At Sea (For Corrin)
It's strange being on a ship, the rolling motions of the waves against the wood not enough to really bother Edelgard, though how much of that was her vampiric body and how much of it was her own fortitude was anyone's guess. Either way, she wasn't in her element and it probably showed in the stance she had adopted, staring stoically out over the moonlit water. The glimmer of silver off the horizon was entrancing, beautiful and distracting...but she couldn't deny that she was any less afraid of the water, no matter how it looked. Maybe it was strange since she didn't exactly need to breathe, but fears weren't easy to let go of.
Either way, she's definitely making waves in the bond, mulling over various things, and likely subconsciously calling out to at least one of her Bondmates.
Below Decks (For Byleth)
During the early hours of evening Edelgard's more active and attempts to be more social, since she can't exactly come out of her vampire-proof room during the daylight hours, or risk bringing people into it. It's simply a bad idea. She's not restless, exactly, but she has a lot of pent up energy. And even the Emperor isn't above pestering her other bondmate during their journey. So, she knocks on the door of Byleth's cabin...hoping to find something to occupy herself this evening. And time with a dear friend certainly is a good way to occupy oneself.
The Silent Forest (For Saber)
Edelgard was happy to take on this particular quest, and even happier to have the opportunity to do so with Saber. She'd seemed capable and competent during their meeting, and so when a pair of Wilder Witches were asking around for guards during this trek, it had seemed as good a time as any to get to know one another better. Fully armored, with Aymr slung over her back, the Emperor was covered in head to toe as the wagon the Wilders had brought rumbled out towards the forest path, the last rays of a fading sun not quite sunk below the horizon yet. An early "morning" for her, but they did need to get going during the daylight hours, and her enchanted clothing was good enough protection until night fell.
"Were you on the original expedition out here?" Edelgard asks of her companion, curious.

"You have my deepest apologies. That was entirely inappropriate." He'd even bow to make it a proper gesture, had there been the space for it. Hubert leaves another feather-light touch to her shoulder as he steps past Edelgard to the cage.
"Truthfully... I do not know. I'm still learning about these creatures." When Hubert approaches, the mottled rat relaxes a bit, hopping around to peer up at him. He fishes a little tin from his pocket. "They'd shown no such reaction to Bernadetta, nor their brief encounter with Lorenz. I hadn't expected anything of the sort."
From the tin comes a little pellet; Cara scurries forward when Hubert offers it, taking it into greedy paws and shooting a cautious look around his fingers at Edelgard.

There's a faint twinge of sadness in her voice, and her sense. She's not really been too bothered by her transformation since her untimely passing, having learned to see the many benefits of it. But there are times when it's made starkly clear that she is different, one of the unliving.
"Prey can sense predator, and the living are typically unsettled around...people with my condition."
Her head shakes and she looks down at the little creature, keeping her distance from them still, for two reasons now.
no subject
Hubert leaves Cara with her treat, tapping two fingers against the desk thrice, by the corner closest to the nest. He does it again when Dust doesn't show herself; a little grey head pokes out from under the scraps at the repeat, then quickly retreats. He frowns.
"That may be so, I don't recall the other animals reacting thus. Though, I suppose they all are predators."
He levitates to be of the treats through the bars of the cage, hovering it just beyond the nest. After a beat, Dust darts out to seize it, and returns to her hiding spot.
"Perhaps they only need to adjust. Even now, Cara seems significantly less perturbed than her sister."
Indeed, the slimmer rat only watched as she works at her treat.

She watches the one from her distant spot, violet eyes focused on the unmoving rodent, taking in the little details. The beady eyes, the twitchy nose, the tiny, hand-like paws. Honestly in this light, they are a little cute.
"Perhaps. She might be the less skittish of the two. Or she hasn't smelled Heidi and Ferdie on me."
no subject
Something mildly apologetic floats through the Bond as Hubert shakes his head.
"As I said, I have much to learn about them. I'm... woefully inexperienced with animals. I know that Dust is alarmingly clever for a rodent, and the more curious of the two. Cara largely seems to hold an interest only for climbing to high places."
Hubert shakes his head a little more sternly this time, and he frowns subtly. "A habit I am currently trying to break her of, as she has taken an interest in climbing me."
no subject
Edelgard shakes her head, taking another step back before looking at Hubert. She feels uneasy, but it's not directed at him. Just, generally, she feels awkward about this.
"I think that this is probably the best I'm going to accomplish tonight. It's a start, but I feel like I'd rather leave them to their evening."
For a load of reasons.
"It is progress, though, so thank you."
