The Mountain of Ordeals

[cecil_harvey]

Who: Cecil, Rydia, Red and Cerberus
What: Running up the Mountain of Ordeals with a much more balanced party this time
When: Around when Avshar takes the Capitol
Where: Hirawyr, Arird
Warnings: Small brats children. Cecil talking to himself and being angsty. The usual.

Cecil, Rydia and Red emerged from the Waypoint in Hirawyr no worse for wear. Having escaped the demons in Chaodan and with the province relatively untouched by Avshar's forces, they had a brief respite to stop in Palatine for supplies before heading up the mountain.

Try as Red might, he probably can't produce a grip worthy of the man's notice, and nods in turn.

"Yes, everyone calls me Red." He waits a beat, working to recall the details himself; it was when he was grieving and a bit blurry for his own perspective. "We...Yeah, we did talk; you were keeping the survivors safe. I don't know if I ever thanked you..."

Cecil thinks for a moment. "Ah yes, I do remember. You came to her aid. Well met, Ser Cerberus."

"Strange to see you all here, I had thought you were both..."

He doesn't want to say it, he doesn't want to imply suspicion, so he just adds lamely.

"Gone."

Figure that I'm home sick all day, may as well do some tagging.

Finding some kind of deep determination from somewhere, she corrects Garviel. "It takes a lot more than that to keep us down. Isn't that right?" She looked toward both Red and Cecil with a smile.

"Well, I might not have started the journey with you; but I'm here till it ends. No matter what happens."

Red grinned and nodded at the other two men. Besides, even if they didn't want him there, he wasn't going to leave Rydia again unless something extreme happened.
