Adventures in Askr (Ft. Erandia and Friends)

"Hello Sparrow? I have a question." Erandia starts off, her tired brown eyes gazing at the two sparring units within the training tower. She used 'sparring' but in reality, she knows that older Ike is more likely to slip up and send his younger self back at the castle, claiming it to be an accident.

This is more like bullying, in her opinion.

It doesn't help that older Ike has the weapon advantage either.

"E-Erandia? What's up--is there a battle going on there?" The red-headed summoner could barely hear her friend's inquiry over the sound of the metal clanging and clashing. The only other sound she hears clearly is Azura and one of the Shigure's quiet mutter of worry and the other Shigure's excessive cheering.

"Yeah but anyway, I have a problem."

"Usually when you do, it's a bad thing. What did you do this time?"

"Well..." As Erandia was about to explain, the metal clashing stopped only to be replaced with older Ike's voice.

"I won't have mercy on my enemies."

"Ike, wait--!" Erandia's call was too late, Ragnell managed to sink itself past Urvan's block. Brave Ike disappeared in a flash of light, reforming at the castle fountain once again.

This was the fifth time already.

"... Is everything alright?"

"Sparrow, how do you make someone unjealous of their younger selves?" Honestly, if this situation wasn't impeding on their training time, Erandia would have sat back and laughed at this rom-com-like development. Judging by the small giggle at the other end of the mental-link, Sparrow was thinking the same thing.

Like master, like disciple, as they say.

"Have you tried summoning another Azura?"

"Sparrow, at this point, I'm pretty sure older-Ike will also hog her once she appears. Hell, there would be a civil war between the Ikes here!" Erandia grumbled a bit, adding 'I think Ike's building his own harem here, what the actual heck' in an annoyed tone. Sparrow just laughed at the sheer irony of that statement.

"You can try asking for your Azura's help. Maybe even your two Shigures?"

"Yeah but they don't see anything wrong here. I asked once and they think it's just his usual antics, wanting to get stronger and all." As she finishes her statement, she spots Shigure's white pegasus on the horizon. With him is Brave Ike, thankfully no longer drenched and hurt (she needs to give Genny a reward after putting up with their bullshit)

"Alright you two, enough of this--" The red head stops as she sees Brave Ike's challenging eyes, youthful spirit and fun vigor seemed to reflect in them.

"I will defeat you!"

Once again, the two clashed, the sound of metal against metal ringing in the air. Erandia says nothing, her face morphing into a resigned poker-face as she brings her Breidablik up to her ears, hearing Sparrow's concerned voice on the other end.

"Hey Sparrow, do you reckon Ike's just sexually frustrated and maybe I should teach Azura what a Lap Dance is?" voice dripping with sarcasm, the other summoner asked for more tips as Sparrow simply laughed at her friend's endless plight.
