Prompt Fill: "Amuse Me" - Emory losing tributes

[lorata]

I really do not understand how quick prompts work. I'm also not sure I get the definition of "cheering up" BUT IN MY DEFENCE YOU HAVE TO GET SAD FIRST.

awwwwwwwww
ha I hadn't put it together that Brutus' first loss was mentoring against/with Emory. That makes it extra shitty.

:( poor everyone

Awww

I don't know, for me, the contrast of reading about all the painful stuff enhances the 'cheering up' part.

Odin dragged him out into the mountains like he was a fresh Victor all over again to stop him from scouring footage looking for Emory or staring at his phone and wishing he could call, and they’d sparred until Brutus’ muscles ached and he collapsed on the hard, dirt-packed trail, pine needles tickling the back of his neck and the sharp scents of the mountains slowly easing the tension from his muscles.

I totally loved this even though it was also stressful if you know what I mean...

When Brutus finally called a halt Emory had a fractured wrist and he’d had to crack his nose back into place, but Emory actually leaned against his shoulder as they waited for the on-call doctor to make the trip. “She’s better than me,” Emory said, and she didn’t rest her head against him or even shift most of her weight onto his, but their arms touched and for Emory that may as well be a full embrace. “I’ll just have to keep trying.”I hadn't thought about this, but yes it must have been insanely hard to have both her mentor and the woman nearest to her
