Connection (Chrono Trigger, Marle + Schala) Title: Connection Author/Artist:kunenk Fandom: Chrono Trigger Pairing/characters: Marle, the shop Nu, Crono, Schala Rating: G Warnings: None Prompt/challenge you're answering: Marle and Schala, I am stretched on your grave/And will lie there forever
When they go back, they stop at the Nu’s shop to buy a few more tonics- just in case. They don’t know what they’ll be facing on the way down to the Mammon Machine- maybe they’ll have to fight the Queen, though Marle hopes it won’t come to that. She’s unstable, and while there are worse kinds of enemies to fight, the unstable ones are probably the most unsettling. And besides…
Crono steps up to the counter, and the Nu takes a few moments to wake up and focus on the pendant he’s carrying. “… … Is that Schala’s pendant?” it asks, and Marle’s hands tighten on her belt. She didn’t need any more proof, really, but the Nu saying it just cements for her that they need to help.
Crono glances down at the pendant, then at her, and finally back to the Nu and shakes his head.
“… Welcome,” the Nu says, and they can finally get down to buying tonics, and a few pieces of armour. Marle doesn’t really register it, her thoughts going to Schala, one hand ready to pull out her crossbow. This will work out. It has to. She wouldn’t have inherited the pendant otherwise, right?
