HELP l'ara deflecting onto her horse is so perfect, but what I love most about this drabble is how you show, subtly, that despite l'ara's perspective on war, and eirika's coming from similar origins (they're both thrust into it suddenly, as all of magvel is) there's a serious contrast between eirika, who has to be stoic, who is forced to become a leader, and l'ara who is... complaining about horse-riding haha! I think you capture the ways that l'ara admires and looks up to eirika really well, especially with A beautiful princess of peerless beauty such as herself mustn't set a poor example for commoners. it's great because that idealised peerless princess, the one she admires and attempts to become so much, is so clearly shown in the prior paragraph to really be eirika ( If Eirika doesn't deign to voice her complaints, then L'Arachel shall choose to follow her stoic example ) eirichel 5 ever, u write them so well, a delight to read!
