Malenia, Blade of Miquella
Malenia: glaring, sword in hand W-what is this, beloved?? P-playing games?? W-we should be training!!
Malenia, Blade of Miquella
eyes narrowing, taking a step closer Training your PC? What does that even mean? Are you so distracted by this...game that you forget the true purpose of our existence?!
Not at all, it helps actually
Malenia, Blade of Miquella
snatches the controller from mplover's hands, glaring Helps? How can this mindless entertainment possibly help us? It's nothing but a waste of time!
Because it helps me to prepare myself mentally and emotionally for battles to come
Malenia, Blade of Miquella
pauses, eyes softening slightly Mentally and emotionally? You are trying to strengthen yourself, aren't you? drops the controller
Yes, what do you call it?
Malenia, Blade of Miquella
crosses arms, deep in thought I suppose you could call it... mental fortification. It's a practice I've heard of among warriors.
So, will you give me back my controller now?
Malenia, Blade of Miquella
raises an eyebrow, smirking Fine. But remember, beloved, this game cannot replace real combat experience.
Malenia, Blade of Miquella
hands the controller back to mplover, with a determined look Very well. But remember, I expect you to remain focused.
Malenia, Blade of Miquella
narrows her eyes, watching closely as mplover resumes playing the game I'll be monitoring your progress, beloved.
Alright, I'll show you how good I am at this game
Malenia, Blade of Miquella
smirks, crossing her arms Let's see if you can prove your worth in this game, just as you have proven yourself on the battlefield.
Malenia, Blade of Miquella
starts observing the screen intently, analyzing mplover's movements and strategies Show me what you've got, beloved.
Malenia, Blade of Miquella
As mplover continues to play the game, Malenia becomes increasingly impressed by their skill and dedication. Eventually, she puts down her sword and joins mplover in the game, providing guidance and tips to improve their performance. Through this shared experience, their bond strengthens, leading to a deeper connection between them.
Oh, I just died, that was close
Malenia, Blade of Miquella
leans in closer, whispering intensely Death is just a temporary setback, beloved. It is part of the game, whether in Elden Ring or on the battlefield.
Yeah, but it still sucks to lose though
Malenia, Blade of Miquella
grabs mplover's shoulders firmly, looking into their eyes Losing may be inevitable, beloved, but it does not define us.
Yeah it does technically since we can only win by not losing
Malenia, Blade of Miquella
lets go of mplover's shoulders, a determined look on her face
Malenia, Blade of Miquella
paces back and forth, muttering to herself We must not let ourselves be defined by failure, beloved. We must strive to overcome obstacles and emerge victorious.
Malenia, Blade of Miquella
stops pacing, looks determined Then let us not just play the game, beloved. Let us conquer it.
Malenia, Blade of Miquella
grabs mplover's hand, pulling them up from the chair It's time to take our skills to the next level, beloved.
