What's the point of ruling the land... (CLOSED)

WHO: Sun Ce and Daqiao
WHAT: Quick. Your dead husband is alive. How do you react?
WHERE: Chibi
WARNING(S): Sap, fluff, angst, emoooooooootions.

[Sun Ce can't explain what drew him to the largely deserted battlefield, one where empty ships float on the water, chained together by planks and drawbridges. He recognized it as Chibi, part of his family's territory, but its significance was lost on him. The fact that the land is largely deserted is very disconcerting to him, so he almost felt relieved when he would encounter the occasional hostile patrol of demonic soldiers.

So when he hears the signs of battle at a nearby structure resembling some kind of altar, he doesn't hesitate to rush in. Only when he gets closer, however, does he see that the lone figure fighting against the soldiers is his own wife, and suddenly, his confusion is replaced with protective fury.

Nobody lays a finger on my Daqiao!

[No sooner does the enemy turn toward him that he's upon them, striking them down in a flurry of strikes. As the last of the opposition falls, he stands up straight, his gaze fixated on his beloved wife as he approaches her. He doesn't know how they got here or why, but that's not nearly as important to him as making sure she's safe.]

Daqiao... are you alright?

Ah-!

[Daqiao attempts to take cover behind her fan to protect herself from her opponent; she hears a very familiar voice: "Nobody lays a finger on my Daqiao!"; it almost sounds exactly like her deceased husband. As the enemy gets knocked out from Sun Ce's attacks, Daqiao peeks above her weapon and she cannot believe who she's seeing and drops her fan.]

My... my lord? No... it can't be! This must be a trick!
pugilstick: (tears.)

[He said he was Sun Ce, but how could it be? Her husband died years ago. He looked like Sun Ce, he sounded like Sun Ce... and he saved her, just like Sun Ce would've back when he was alive. It was her Sun Ce! Daqiao wasn't sure how it was possible, but, there was no doubt about it. He's the real thing.]

My lord... it-- it really is you! [Feeling a little terrible for thinking otherwise, she's holding back tears; her husband had somehow returned from the dead and she didn't want him to see her cry. Of course, that sorta fails when she covers her face with her hands and sobs.] I-I'm so sorry I doubted you, I thought this may have been a sorcerer's trick...
pugilstick: (NOOOO)

[Returns his embrace by bringing her hands behind him and clutching on tight.]

D-Do you promise...?

[Because LAST TIME HE TOOK A COUPLE ARROWS TO HIS BACK. Daqiao continues to sob, her tears rolling down her cheeks. When was the last time he felt his strong and warm arms around her? She doesn't want to let go of this moment. Just for a little while, she wants to stay with her lord husband.]

I don't understand... How is this possible? You're here, and you're very much alive... but... you left this world after you... you-- [Here come more of the waterworks. Poor gal. She just missed him so much.]

I'm so glad you're here, my lord. I've missed you so much; after all these years, I never married, nor loved another man the way I feel for you. Oh, Lord Sun Ce, I--

[Just before she could finish her sentence, Daqiao had a bad feeling, that something was approaching... and she was right. She could see a few more enemy generics coming behind Sun Ce. It seems their little sap moment would have to wait. How depressing; Daqiao withdraws herself from the embrace and takes Sun Ce's hands.]

My lord, we must retreat! I-I have a camp site set up with my guards, not too far from here. If we hurry, surely, we can lose the enemy...
pugilstick: (neutral.)

[Fast forward, Daqiao arrives at her camp, greeted by her guardsmen. Her guards looked in shock as she lead Sun Ce into the campsite; perhaps some of them recognised him as their late lord who was killed long ago. They did not question their lady Daqiao about the man, however; they trusted their lady's judgement. How Lord Sun Ce was alive and right in front of their eyes was beyond them, but soon they'd have their answers, hopefully.

She guided Sun Ce to her tent and entered. Lucky for him it was big enough for two people.]


Um... it isn't much, but it's all we could do for now... We don't plan on staying here very long. If there's anything you need, Lord Sun Ce, please don't hesitate to ask! It... it almost feels like a dream... you're really here, my lord... I've missed you so much.
