[Though Rose grew up reading stories, the ones she did very rarely had grand battles. They were stories of love and adventure, occasionally some fighting, but nothing like you’d see in what she needs now.]
[Not that she needs to read now to understand it. The last few years of her life have been marked by fighting.]
[Which is why it hurts when she sees people she cares about caught up in it. She’s grateful Veldora went to fight Douman. Rose wouldn’t admit it, not with how absolutely hinged both Takame and Veldora were when she went missing, but Douman is still haunting her nightmares. Every time she closes her eyes, she can hear those stupid bells.]
[She’s not actually sure this will stop the nightmares, but it should help. She just wishes that the price wasn’t a broken arm for Veldora.]
You did well. Thank you.
[That’s the right response, right? She’s not sure what to say when someone comes to report the results of a battle.]
[She does, however, ruffle his hair, and give him a smile.]
