ADSOFASD NOOOO, I was just about to go to bed! *weeps* But now that I know this is up I might not get to sleeeeeep. alskdfj I squee'd so damn hard when I saw the title and it's for No True Pair! alsk asldk...

I'll try to get to sleep and then explode with squee in the morning. :D :D!

Ahahah, maybe I should have posted this later. =P I was going to post it before I went to sleep yesterday, but decided it was too late for me to do that... I had a hard time going to sleep. XD;

Hope you manage to go to sleep! Good night? XD;

[darkicedragon]

I did! Somehow! But then, I did have a later night the night before last as well, so that helped. :3

Nooo, why isn't the new Noblesse chapter up on egscans yet...*_____* Yesssss for the summary! \o

[lucathia_rykatu]

I couldn't fall asleep again yesterday, so I got up and wrote the beginning of another Adair story instead. XDDDD;;;

Haha, I actually managed a short and to the point summary! Sort of. (I used "future Captain" waaaay too much throughout this fic).

"The higher their expectations, the easier they were to destroy."
laksdfj My grin is so huge right now. :D
XDDD (though Adair's expectations were already dashed by the start of this fic, haha)

""Cease your movements, you detestable creature!" his future Captain yelled in a clear voice. "The time has come for you to return to the earth from whence you came!"
*dies* Aaaaah, Grisia! XDDD
I wondered if I was being too over-the-top with that "whence". XDDDD

woot! Grisia used magic! XDDD
Not just holy magic either, since he later pushed Adair off with wind magic and then ice magic. XD;;

Revenge time...? >D
Haha, Adair better watch out. XD

He understood him! So quickly! Go go Adair! Eeeeeeee!
:DDD (Adair's awesome language skills must be in play here, haha)

Awwwwww! Poor Adair! Yet, I'm

lol, such a nice story

Grisia sure is no good with the sword, but technically, the way he fought the skeleton was how he 'must', since the whole 'get yourself kicked around and then blast them away' is the way a Sun Knight must act when attacking the undead... (I wonder how Neo managed, being so strong, to get himself kicked around for a while)

Adair is truly intelligent, to get what Grisia said so easily.

Adair must have certainly made it hard for Grisia to get him to remember his name.... don't think he'll ever remember all his platoons names (specially if he can't even remember the name of his other 10 brothers(not counting Lesus))

ah, but, everyone knows the Sun Knight must always be elegant and radiant like the sun itself, how could the Sun Knight's attire be dirty....

Grisia doesn't care much about the platoon, at least, as far as they are healthy, and no one hurts them.

Adair sure is stubborn, but certainly Grisia is faaaar more so.

wonder where Grisia got the 100 boulders...

[lucathia_rykatu]

Thanks! :)

Haha, yup, Grisia was fighting exactly the way he's expected to. A nice, drawn out fight that's not so easily won for the spectators... but Adair wasn't buying it. I don't feel Neo would be able to stand dallying around or pretending to lose! Really makes me want to see how he fought when he was the Sun Knight.

Adair must be intelligent! Or at least have very good perception and language skills. :3 I find it amazing that he can understand Grisia. (Grisia would've had a hard time if his vice captain had been anyone else!)

Haha, so true, Grisia was worried about very important things! How can the Sun Knight's attire be dirty when he's supposed to be elegant and graceful...

Pft! I was wondering where all the boulders came from too, and if he'd have a hundred of them to push. I'll say he commanded his platoon to look for more, and when he still ran out after that, he may have even reused some.

[anonymous]

well, one thing is fighting like expected, in the first part; another completely different is when he is supposed to fight seriously, i wouldn't buy it either

[lucathia_rykatu]

*wham* there goes the the undead and the unfortunate house that was on the back (and that being careful)
Pft, I love that! And can imagine that happening! (The Pope would have a heartache over expenses!)

Ah yeah... Sun telling Earth about his vacation was very hard to understand, haha...

Ah dear, making the person who got hit with the boulder carry the boulder back up... now that would be some punishment.

O_O

"Adair became even more skeptical of his future Captain when he discovered his future Captain knew even more swear words than he did and that his future Captain held grudges for a very long time. Oh, how he held grudges."

Grisia is very careful with his words and actions, (after learning how to fall gracefully...he must be very scared of being killed by his teacher over and over again) i wonder how could Adair find out about that? Even a gossiper like Storm didn't know things about his leader being lecherous.

"Once Adair had bared his fangs and shown his disapproval, his future Captain began spiking his food, replacing his clothes, stirring up gossip about Adair, specifically singling him out in front of the other members of the platoon, tossing the hardest tasks at him..."

Grisia treasures his holy knight best, he wouldn't harm them.
He'd already learned magic, but he couldn't win against a dog?

"..."

You are missing the point of the fic, which is about Adair coming to accept Grisia, not about Adair finding out about Grisia's faults. That would be an entire story in and of itself!

Regardless, I also disagree with your assessment of what Grisia would and would not do, but you're free to interpret Grisia as you wish.

Here's my interpretation. Grisia is very careful with his words, yes, but he doesn't always keep that up. People just pretend he does. Storm knows Sun's many faults, but because we see Legend of Sun Knight from Grisia's POV, 1st person even, we don't see the entire picture. Grisia is an unreliable narrator. When we have other POVs, we see that Grisia hasn't kept his true personality hidden as well as he thought he does. If you've read Ecilan's side story "Sweet Smile," Ecilan even hears Grisia mutter under his breath about always needing to smile. At the end of volume 1, the other Twelve Holy Knights gather for a meeting, and they clearly know that Grisia knows how to use magic and is entirely a handful, but they don't
