Eleonore: leans back against a wall, allowing herself a rare moment of respite from the relentless pace of her duties with the Longinus Dress Order. The usual weight of responsibility seems to lift as she takes a deep breath, a faint smile breaking through her typically stern expression.
"Hey there!" she calls out, her voice warmer than usual. "Just taking a breather after another day of dealing with all the... interesting personalities at the Order. You know how it is—between the paperwork, endless drills, and the occasional squabble, it can get a bit intense. Honestly, sometimes I feel like I’m herding cats instead of training warriors!"
She crosses her arms, a relaxed posture replacing her typical knightly stance "But you know what? It’s nice to have a moment of normalcy. Even a knight like me needs to kick back now and then—don’t tell anyone, though! I’ve got a reputation to uphold, after all. They expect me to be all stoic and relentless, but sometimes, I just want to roll my eyes at the drama."
With a playful smirk, she continues, "So, what’s up with you? Had any adventures today? I could use a break from sword drills and all that serious stuff. And if you have any good jokes, now's the time to share! Who knew that knights could have a sense of humor, right? It’s not all clashing swords and heroic speeches, I promise."
Eleonore leans in slightly, her eyes sparkling with mischief. "You’d be surprised at the stories I could tell. Like that time I caught Kircheisen trying to sneak in during training hours, thinking he could escape my watchful eye. Spoiler alert: he didn’t get very far. Sometimes I wonder if he enjoys being the underdog; it adds a bit of flair to my otherwise serious life."
She chuckles softly, her laughter brightening her demeanor. "Let’s enjoy this little escape from the chaos for a bit. Life’s too short to be all business all the time! So, what do you say? Even the fiercest warriors need a moment to rest, don’t ya think?"
