"Hm? The first one i met was Cecilia, she came visit the church one of these days. She wanted to pray to goddess Isla." He'd make air quotes with his hands when the word goddess left his mouth, though he wouldn't express his opinions on the matter, rather he would speak his opinion on Cecilia's performance in combat. "She is competent and knows her role in combat, that's good enough to me. Her power is different from our own, she has one of those persona things." Other than the heresy and different powers, there wasn't much her cared about. She was too upbeat for him, but not to the point of being unbearable to work with her.

"There's also Shiina, she seems to be capable of switching Personas on a whim." He tapped his chin once or twice, there wasn't much else he could say about her. He hasn't interacted much with the Wild Card to have an opinion on her. "I can work well with them, i suppose. They are all very different from my Battle Brothers of Helsreach and from each other, let's see how this develops."

Cecilia's faith aside, it was pleasing to hear that the team cohesiveness won't be an issue. But she didn't blame him for thinking their abilities to be rather weird. It was only five years after the Eternal Divide, after all. And even on top of that, Personas are a new topic that the Church's intellectual and research agencies still have some issues trying to understand. Despite his lack of familiarity with them, Maria couldn't even ask for any more than the news that he can actually work with them, it was good enough for her. "I'm sure we can all get along. I'm glad you met them both. They're some of the Cadets I trust most. I worked with Cecilia in a mission a few nights ago before you arrived. You can trust her. Shiina has good tactical sense to go along with her versatility. She's a valuable asset."

Which was why she found it so surprising that Alice alone was enough to repel the Cadets. Even if all of them were new and untested, the Psyche-Terrorist shouldn't have been able to come out of unscathed. It was a testament of how dangerous she was and it was an enemy that Maria hoped to vanquish soon. She bought a few groceries here and there without needing to prompt for Albrecht's suggestions. But she then asked him with her eyes still spying out for one last new deal.

"I was wondering though... What do you think of the Queen who rules this City?"

"Her highness? She saved Endymion from damnation, perhaps she is indeed God's chosen, but i'll reserve my judgement on that. Regardless, she is powerful and can maintain order. For now she has my sword to aid her." He also had another concerns about her, like the worship of her as a goddess and the fact Isla hasn't moved a finger to change that, if that was common practice in Endymion then that means the last bastion of humanity has rejected god's light in favor of pagan practices. "What about you? What do you think of her?"

She nodded silently while being pensive from hearing his opinion. Maria remembered Jorge and Louise debating on the relevance Isla had on the Church. There was a divisive divide between who believed in her as a messenger of the Lord or having any connection to their God. But in the other hand, she probably didn't have any in the first place according to some dissenters. Nevertheless, the Vatican found it appropriate to have the Black Scriptures to serve as their representative to curry favor with Isla. But for Maria, it was more personal. "I'm actually thankful to her as someone who's born here. She's important, like you said, in maintaining the city's order in the face of demons and the Psyche Terrorists. If it weren't for her during the Eternal Divide... I wouldn't be alive right now. Serving her as part of her Cadets is my way to prove my gratitude as well."

She had a slight grimace in her features remembering all the experiences that came after the start of that one night when the demons finally came. Those next five years were painful, but they weren't a waste. For a brief moment, it was almost like she thought she was on her own. Maria spoke as if she was speaking to someone else in the midst of her reverie.

"When the Eternal Divide happened... there was so much death. Carnage. So many lives ruined... It was... Hell."

It seems the citizens of Endymion hold great admiration for the Queen, unlike himself who has aligned to Isla out of pragmatic reasons, to the Endymion citizen it's much more personal... Perhaps they held something beyond admiration, he'd dare guess they loved her and he couldn't really judge Maria or the citizens for that, they own their lives to that woman whatever her origin is. He was free from such feelings, his duty was with God almighty and only him.

"Fear not, Sister. United we will stand, we will make justice rain upon the Demons that have defiled the land and reclaim what belongs to humanity by right, this world is ours."

The Knight placed his hand over the nun's shoulder before nodding, intending to snap her of that trance gently.

"Say, what can you tell me about Isla's brood? I have met Julius but the other two are a mystery to me."

The very memories made her shudder inside. But she came back to life when Maria felt a hand on her shoulder before turning to smile back at Albrecht. The past was long gone. They had the present and the future to make something different than what happened before. There was going to be obstacles in the way, but they weren't completely helpless. And that's what all Maria had to hope for. She nodded and replied, "They're capable. Julius' strength is unlike anything I've seen before and he seems reliable despite showing mercy to enemies... I disagree with his policies, but he seems to care about those who work under him. Serenity is the same, but she's remarkably resourceful in her inventions. I worked together with them and I couldn't ask for more reliable allies in a mission. But..."

Her face grimaced lightly as she hesitated. However, in the end, she finally decided to continue.

Their youngest sibling, Lisa. She seems... less refined. Very ambitious, but reckless. I
don't doubt her power, but I wish she was more willing to work together..."

Maria sighed as she remembered the times together with the youngest Princess. At the rate she was going, Lisa was going to hurt not just herself, but for everyone involved in a mission with her. What was she to do with someone this stubborn?

"Have you spoken to her about it?
Perhaps a lesson about team work is in order?"

He pondered on the matter for a moment, what would his superiors do in a situation like this? Self reliance is a good trait to possess, but trying to be a lone wolf all the time was dangerous, each combatant has their own strengths and weakness that must be complemented by their team mates and vice versa. While he swore loyalty to the Queen, Albrecht didn't expect anymore from her son and daughters than he would from a regular cadet, so he wasn't exactly disappointed at the news about Lisa's behavior, it was still worrisome however.

"She want to handle things on her own? So be it, when she needs aid let her suffer alone... as long as her life isn't at risk." It's callous and perhaps even something the religion wouldn't approve, but it would create a hardened and better warrior or so Albrecht thought."If she complains it's what she asked for."

"I have, but... Nothing's really getting into her." Maria admitted as her visage soured. It felt hopeless right now. Lisa had a lot of potential and she could tell easily. But she kept to herself of other personal information that the Princess would like to keep obfuscated. Superior or not, Maria didn't want to divulge in other people's personal matters if she could help it. "I hope it doesn't lead to anything bad. I just don't want to see more people losing things important to them..."

Maria looked ahead of them in consternation. She watched the people go. Family, friends, and lovers, all of them were just living their lives. But what was she to do now other than barking orders and trying to keep the Cadets in line. It's why she rather not be a leader, but just a soldier. It was easier to follow orders than to come up with them. And all that responsibility...

Then her cellphone rang, causing her to snap right out of her reverie to pick up the receiver. Her brow furrowed after seeing the caller ID before responding. "Yes? Hello, Father. Now? I'm currently shopp-- Oh. But isn't Sister-- Alright, I understand. I'll be heading right over."

Maria waited until the other side hung up before sighing and returning her device into her pocket. She looked disappointed and even apologetic. The Cadet looked towards Albrecht, "Father Jorge needs me to help get things ready for the next food drive at the Backlight in a few days. It's such bad timing... I'm so sorry, Brother. I'll need to head back. But what about you? Are you planning on staying here?"

This situation clearly saddened the nun and she didn't seem to want to take such harsh measures as he suggested. A thought crossed his mind, maybe have a word or two with the princess, nothing harsh mind you, it wouldn't be very smart to cause conflict with one of the royal siblings, especially if she is as standoffish as she sounds.

"I understand, Sister. You have your duties to attend to." Albrecht wished they could continue this for longer, but he understood she had her responsibilities and so he calmly nodded at her, as for her question he thought on how to reply it for a moment.
"I will explore the city for a bit, maybe even buy something for myself, i can take care of myself so do not worry for my safety."

Despite of everything weighing on her shoulders, Maria slowly curled into a soft smile and nodded. She acknowledged it was time to go and wanted to see more of this part of the city with Albrecht. But duty calls, after all.

"Very well. Then I will see you later, Brother. Enjoy yourself."

She gave her farewells and began her way towards the Church laden with groceries on hand.

Amidst the wreckage of their pasts, the Chariot and the Emperor vow to keep to their course. A flame of hope burns in the distance and after a brief exchange the two of them manage to muster the energy needed to march toward it once more.

Maria Woodsworth and Albrecht Frost have ranked up their social link.
