Prince of Fire Emblem: Calm Before the Storm

The sunset that bounced light off the fire opal of Lissa's ring has long disappeared, overtaken by the melancholy night. A cool breeze prefaces the mass of storm clouds on the horizon, steadily rolling towards the castle and swallowing the stars. Bunta exhales into a gum bubble as he gazes at the moon from his recline against the roof of the Kuwahara inn. A lot happened today.

"Hey," he prompts his companion. "Today's meeting... What did you make of it?"

It's deliberately an open question. Jackal has always complemented him so well, strong where he was weak. Picking up the ball wherever Bunta happened to drop it. That meeting had a lot to unpack in it. For all that Bunta saw and responded to in it, there would be just as many things Jackal saw and reacted to, and with only partial overlap. It would be good to get his perspective of things.

Prince of Fire Emblem: In Your Debt

An immediate summons from Yukimura was... unusual? Bunta's curiosity is piqued, that's for certain. He exchanges a look with Jackal before shrugging and saluting himself away. Jackal can handle the drills practice they're running the navy division through solo (in all honesty, he was pretty much doing that already). Bunta takes his wyvern straight to the castle and lets himself in through the balcony near the throne room.

"Yukimura-kun?" He calls as he enters through the side door and scans the room for his king. "I'm here."
