[Quite frankly, the whole of this situation has Jae-Ha seething. This tree - this world - is nothing but a glorified cage. As pleasant as some of it may appear, there's no saving the fact that he's locked in, not to mention other people, as well. At the least, he seems to have caught on to that ray of sunshine, which he uses, but it's not as though it continues to erase all of the bitterness that comes with being here.

But nevertheless. —He seems more at ease, than not, when appearing.

. . . A certain White Dragon, though, just to the side of the screen, does not.]

This amber is very impressive, really. To think that conversing across distances can happen instantly was even remotely possible. . .

But ah- More importantly! My name is Jae-Ha, and I'd like to most humbly offer myself to assist anyone who would like a few lessons in flight, as I'm sure that coordination might be—

[He starts, only to be (rudely!) interrupted.] Jae-Ha! [It's clear the frantic, white haired dragon in the background is not at all happy with the situation, glaring at Jae-Ha from behind.] Your 'services' are hardly what is important right now. Get this off of me already!!

[That being Kija's gem is smack dab in the middle of his forehead, courtesy of some wonderful tree sap, therefore forcing the presence of his wings.]

Don't worry, it'll loosen up within a day. [or something]

That's too long! [He practically despairs.] I- I cannot stand to have these horrible things to be around for another second! AH-! [Nooooo] The Dragon Claw is sticky with sap now, too!

[Jae-Ha just lets out an exasperated sigh] They're a beautiful set of wings, Kija-kun. Now you can fly without any of my assistance, even. Take advantage of it. Your complaining will get you nowhere.

I REFUSE!! [Before Jae-Ha can do much of anything, then, a white scaled dragon claw reaches out and all but grabs his arm to get his full attention - and hopefully succeed in removing the stone, leading the feed to cut off short.]

[ooc: replies will come from either or both!]

Of course; I doubt Kija would want to be left out of making such an attempt.

[Oh, no. No that won't do.]

There's certainly a feeling of being powerless, here, and whom or whatever is keeping us trapped are absolutely repulsive, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't fight for our freedom at all. Doing whatever it may take is how it should be, even if it means to adapt to something different or unexpected, and even if its especially trying.

So you shouldn't say such a thing so easily, miss. I can't imagine your companions see you in that sort of way. You are only as useless as you allow yourself to be.

He seems to be courageous and loyal, and someone who will never abandon an ally.

[She has a high opinion on him after they spoke.]

Hm. Your concern is kind, though I did not say I would not fight and that my sword would not defend them. I am only conscious of my limits in cutting through that barrier. It is conceited and disgraceful if I did not acknowledge them.

[Unhelpful too because she can only defeat an obstacle if she recognizes it; the self-loathing runs deeper than what her actions expresses, it is more ingrained in her emotional bonds than stopping Arturia from taking action. She simply kills her feelings and goes on without regard for herself as person.]

Saber, if you do not mind. You do not have to address me as "miss."

He is exactly that.

[A very honorable and devoted type, even though all at once he sometimes takes it too far. Jae-Ha considers him a very resolute and powerful ally, and even a friend, by now, but still he can be incredibly obnoxious and annoying.]

Ah. I see what you mean, then. [he pauses, almost amused] It seems a bit like you and Kija would make a good team.

[he'd still call her 'miss,' anyway, but-]

Saber, then. And as mentioned earlier, my name is Jae-Ha. It's a pleasure.

What makes you say that? [She did just persuade him to learn how to fly and act tougher appealing at his sense of chivalry and belief to his master, but she still holds her judgment on her teamwork.] Although, I do not foresee any problems after speaking with him.

[She assents.]

Well met, Jae-Ha.

[Hm. What, exactly?]

Well, it's as you mentioned. He is a very loyal type, incredibly determined, and never one who will sit back and let things happen. If I'm to say, that's how you seem to be, as well. I am sure he wouldn't have an issue in fighting alongside you.

[Although, neither would Jae-Ha, himself.]

You know your friend well. [...] But perhaps you are too rash to judge a stranger. [She has killed so many as the king to be compared to someone who looks still too innocent.

And the king-

Stands alone.]

You mean well, thus I thank you. He will need your services now. He told me he will learn how to fly. [She doesn't want to speak of herself, so she encourages him to talk to his friend.]

Edited 2015-04-22 05:21 (UTC)

I simply speak my mind. [Plain and simple. He has killed, as well, and so far from being saintly. Kija, pure as he may be, also will not hold back, though more so when it comes to Yona, in specific.]

But, yes. I aimed to help him, regardless. I'm sure he'll catch on quickly enough.

Till then, it's been good to meet you, Saber. I'm sure we'll see each other around.

I am aware. Candor is many times the most misunderstood of the virtues.

[She nods and values his sincerity.]

Yes, of course. Take care as well, Jae-Ha.

[From the amber, it looks strange from this angle, but she is making a bow.]
