[September 26] [Tales of Legendia] in new bloom
Title: in new bloom

Rating: G
"Elsa, it's dangerous!"
"No, it isn't! You go out all the time."
"Yes, but--"
"And you promised!" Elsa clasped her hands behind her back and grinned. "It's not nice to break a promise!" she singsonged.
"I-I didn't mean today!" Chloe protested. "I meant later. When you've improved a little more."
"Chl-oee." Elsa gave her a beseeching look.
"...oh, all right. Just stay close to me. I don't want you getting hurt."
"You're taking her out to fight monsters?" Alcott said abruptly.
"Dad, I'll be fine. I've gotten really good! And Chloe'll protect me. Right, Chloe?"
"Alcott." Chloe met his eyes with a level gaze. "You have my word that no harm will come to her. I'll guard her with my life."
And Alcott knew that she would. There was a time when he'd worried, albeit briefly, about her going an eye-for-an-eye, but not now. The young Valens heir had changed a great deal since he'd first met her, on that fateful rainy night. The anger and desperation had lifted from her shoulders; she'd lost that whatever-it-takes drive (something he'd never managed to do).
She'd learned to smile, too.
"I don't have any doubt about that," he said to her. "I'll simply tell you both to be careful. Especially you, Elsa. Don't cause trouble for Chloe."
"I won't." Elsa pouted a little. "I'll be good, I promise!"
He hoped that Elsa would take after her and not him.
