Come ye now?

"Well, I.." Tatyina began before she was approached by Celestia. She turned her head, wondering why the warrior was behind her before feeling the helmet's weight upon her head. It fell forward a little bit, keeping her from protesting against the others. "I.. well..." She stuttered as Claudette and Eden tried to finish the ensemble. She looked at herself as best she could. She wasn't exactly able to see the armor well enough to be a good judge but the three seemed pleased enough. "T-thank you for the kind words." She said. "B-but I'm afraid I'm no warrior." She said, lowering her head. "At least, not compared tot he three of you." She said lifting her head up to look at the sisters she was able to look at.

"Stop." Claudette said with a serious tone and placed one hand on each of Tatyina's shoulders while looking her dead in the eyes, "Don't you dare do that. I will not have someone who bested me sit here not acknowledging her own strength. It's an insult to you and to me."

Cel and Eden nodded.

Claudette continued, "If you of all people aren't a "warrior", then no one is. You have the heart and the drive and the tools to do anything my sisters or I can do."

Tatyina's eyes widened at Claudette's words. She stared at the girl and flinched as her shoulders were grabbed. She then turned herhead sligtly. "P-please forgive me Claudette-ue." Shesaid in a meek tone. "What I meant was that I have not the same passion." She fidgeted inher spot, nervously avoiding Claudette's gaze. "I mean... I do not have Claudette-ue's fierceness. My will to fight outside of what is required of me is all but naught. Were it my decision to make, there would be no fighting. There wouldbe only peace. Is that not the opposite of a warrior who lives to fight?" She said tilting her head to look up at Claudette curiously.

"No, Tatyina, a warrior fights to bring that end. Most honorable warriors that is. My sisters and I certainly wouldn't fight if we didn't have to, but unlike you, we can't turn that side of ourselves off. You can. We envy YOU, my friend." Claudette gently pulled Tatyina closer and offered a warm and gentle hug. Claudette would remain silent, just holding Tatyina with a few rubs of her back and a soft sigh. "You see Tatyina, our group's purpose is the pursuit of justice. There will always be a calling for that justice to be served especially in a place like the AFW, so we won't be fulfilled in our task for a long while. But if the day comes where the calling is no longer there, then our job will be finished."

"You should help us, Tatyina." Cel whispered to the small redhead from behind, "You fight for the right reasons, your heart is good."

Tatyina wrinkled her brow in confusion at the words Claudette spoke at first. then the turned her eyes for a moment in thought. "N.." She paused. "I have to turn it on..." She said quietly. It wasn't something deep in her that she had to force out during a match or when someone was in trouble. Tatyina gasped when Claudette pulled her into a hug and her pale cheeks reddened deeply. She put her arms around Claudette, returnign the hug meekly. It was hard for her to show real affection though she was glad that Claudette could. Tatyina turned her head at Claudette's next words. "Justice?" She said. "I..." She closed her eyes and sighed. "I guess I believe in justice." She said. "But.. I don't believe that anyone is truly evil. Everyone has good in them if they choose to look carefully enough. And anyone can be redeemed."

Her cheeks remained flushed but for different reasons. However when she heard Cel's voice she turned. "I would... if you would allow it.." She said "A-arigatou Celestia-ue." She said bowing politely. "Anywhere I can be of help, then that is where I will be." She said with a gentle nod.

"Well it sounds like we have an honorary sister, doesn't it?" Claudette smiled

"It sure does." Celestia offered a similar expression.

"Welcome to the family!" Eden giggled as she gave Tatyina a light tickle on her sides.

Tatyina gasped at the words. She couldn't believe it. "I... You're too kind." She said with a resigned bow of her head, accepting the offer. "I shall try and do my best to live up to your expectations Onee-ue." She her body twitched at the tickling and her cheeks flushed a bit. She brought her hand up to her mouth to hide the softest smile on her face. It was hard for Tatyina to smile but she managed it a bit, softly gasping out as she was tickled. "E-eden-ue..." She managed, glancing at the girl with a wide eyed look. It was friendly but not necessarily encouraging.
