Description

Horn sat up against a tree. A shell had punched a hole through its trunk. The breeze passed through the decaying wood, giving off a mournful sound like some sort of crude instrument. At least it was quieter than the battlefield. Horn was about to rest for a while, but found herself approached as soon as she closed her eyes. "Here ye are, Captain!" Bagpipe leaned on the officer, her chin resting on her shoulder. Finding it too heavy, Horn tried to pull away, but Bagpipe's Vouivre strength was too great. "Took me ages to find you," Bagpipe batted her eyelashes, her tone pitiable, "Ages and ages." Maybe she was just too tired, she fell sleep. Horn felt guilty about it. As leader of Tempest Platoon, she shouldn't have left her people to go off for a nap. How was the battle going? Had Triangle's recon team returned? Was Bagpipe's injury bothering her? A pile of questions clogged her throat. Footsteps and laughter sounded from behind. Oboe was probably telling bad jokes again, Cello laughed a little later than the others but always the loudest, slapping Oboe's shoulder until he begged for mercy. Bagpipe finally let go of Horn's arm, hopped up, and waved vivaciously to her platoonmates. Horn wanted desperately to turn around, but she couldn't. She knew deep down that behind her was nothing but a hole. She couldn't turn around. If she did, those voices would vanish. "What sort of dream were you having?" Rosalie's voice dripped with her usual teasing tone, "Wouldn't hurt to let me take first place once in a while, would it? You're so tired you're out as soon as you hang your head. How unlike you." Horn saw the closed book beside her, with a thin green pen stuck inside. Rosalie had recently taken up felting on the grounds that it relieved the stress of finals. She insisted the tan ball in her hand was Horn's head. Horn repeatedly countered that her hair was a platinum blonde, but Rosalie didn't listen. "What did you dream about? The war again?" Rosalie put down her unfinished felt, tapping her chin curiously, "What does the future look like in your dreams? I'm still thinking about what I might do after graduation. Logistics seems a bit boring. Perhaps I'll be a staff officer? Ooh, I wonder what my first fight will be like? I'll have to count these leisurely days while I still can." Unfortunately, time waits for no woman. The half-finished felt lay on the ground, having turned a muddy color. Horn couldn't guess how Rosalie might craft her face, and she'll never get a chance to find out. She couldn't even remember clearly what Rosalie looked like. The friends had always liked to sit in the brightest places, her bright green hair, her smug smile, they all melted in the fiery sunlight. A pair of rough hands landed on Horn's face. She recalled how every time she napped under the maple tree in the yard, her grandmother would walk over and fan her, relieving the heat of the sun and shooing away the flies. This was still a dream, certainly, but this time she was lucid, and she had no intention of opening her eyes. She used to bother her grandmother for stories about the army, her great-great grandfather, and the feats of White Wolves past. Then, she dreamed of fighting for Victoria, just like her ancestors. Now that the war had truly begun, her dreams turned to her grandmother fanning her. Steady and strong, the rhythm was more comforting than sleep itself. Horn opened her eyes, and Feist gave her an apologetic smile. He didn't want to wake her with his work. Her shield needed maintenance too. Horn lowered her head and a gust of wind blew by, tiny buds falling from the trees, covering the mottled shield. So, the cannonfire hadn't totally killed her tree after all.

Description

When Horn arrives at that modest Highbury pub, it's already packed. Over a dozen people's heads, Bagpipe waves vigorously to her, jostling half her pint out of the glass before she even makes it all the way over. Once she does, Bagpipe pushes it into Horn's hands, turns, orders a new one, and pours that one straight down the hatch. Her face is ruddy red and altogether sweaty. She's been helping out no small amount here, Horn can tell. 'Y'know Robben? This is his relative, proper handy, you can just smell the fresh grain off the tipple he brews. Makes you feel all warm inside,' Bagpipe says glowingly. 'C'mon, Leader, try some.' Horn stares down at the mellow golden liquid. Just as warm as every other color in this bar. Londinium's past the worst of scarcity, but the workers still use curtains and tablecloths from their own homes to decorate this place out of sheer habit. The pub reopening means a lot to the neighborhood. Real proof that they have their livelihoods back, and a place to drop by after clock-out too. Once the music starts up, Bagpipe tugs a dumbstruck Horn to come along. Bagpipe's kilt is long and flowing and gorgeous as she spins, aglow like a daffodil, like the paraffin lamp by your bedside. It makes Horn conscious of how she's not in uniform either. Her white pencil skirt was rummaged out of her old wardrobe from her academy days. Still fits, but she feels so strange in it. Like two empty hands missing their sword and shield. 'Leader, move your body a bit! No one's goin' tae laugh at ye.' Bagpipe thinks she's embarrassed. 'Look, just follow ma rhythm now, it isnae hard at all!' What rhythm? Horn can't help but crack up at that. If skipping to the beat were a class, Fiona Young'd be losing every last mark. Returning to the counter, Horn once again picks up the pintglass Bagpipe got her, and in one fell swoop, downs it. 'Tastes wonderful,' she grins. 'To Robben.' 'To Robben,' Bagpipe echoes. 'And to Abigail, and to Henderson, and to Gwen...' Horn sets the empty glass down. 'Gwen. Hah. What was it, that ale? The one Cello loved more than anything in the whole wide land?' By the time they leave the bar, Horn's walking on much slower legs. With a gust of the evening wind, she makes her way to the curbside, and stoops down low. 'Leader? Och, go on, chuck it up. You'll feel better for it.' Horn shakes her head, but her shoulders are tensing up anyway. Picking up on something silent, Bagpipe lifts her hand away before it can land on Horn's back, and opts to places it on her shoulder instead. Horn finally raises her head again. Quite unlike Bagpipe would've imagined, her mouth curls up, and her eyes are aglitter. 'Bagpipe, they came out with my test results. My wounds are more or less recovered, and I didn't get Oripathy.' Bagpipe grins back. She lifts Horn up, and the two amble together down the still and quiet street. 'We're so lucky, you and I,' Bagpipe says. 'Yeah.' Drawing a deep breath, Horn looks out at the faraway city walls, and the warm lights above it that faintly swim into view. 'So lucky.'
