Shiloh hummed a little as she heard him speak, covering her mouth as she giggled at his words, shrugging her shoulders, “We really did. I remember his family was kind of important? He always had a bodyguard following us around, but we would always manage to give him the slip so we could go and play together.” Shiloh ran her fingers through her hair, “I think he was the last friend I made before we really started to move around. I feel bad that I can’t remember his face or his name. He had the cutest laugh, though.” 

Stepping out once they got to the boutique, Shiloh smiled at him, “Alright. I shouldn’t take too long, I don’t think.” She walked inside, and Shiloh was a little surprised by how nice it was– She was used to a very expensive lifestyle, and this even managed to make her feel a little out of place. “Ah, you said white tie, right? Maybe something off the shoulder? Probably red? What are you wearing?” 

“Bodyguards can be difficult when you’re younger and want to play pretend.” Io’s grin widened, memories of dodging his own caretaker to more accurately play pirate on the castle grounds quick to emerge. However, he shook his head at Shiloh’s following sentiment. “I think it’s normal for names and faces to fade from your mind over time. I remember spending time with my brother’s fiance when we were growing up, but it’s easier to recall it since she’s always been around since then. The other friend I had isn’t someone I can name, either.”

As they walked further into the store, it became easy to envision her in any number of the exquisite dresses displayed ( the thought coaxing a slight flush of red to his cheekbones ). “Yes, that’s right. My tux is a very dark blue — my stylist’s fond of color.” The temptation to roll his eyes was eluded, though Io was often grateful that someone was in the position to choose his ensemble for such events as opposed to the possibility that he might pick something himself which hardly suited. “You’ll look beautiful in anything.”

So he had already accepted his fate years ago. It made sense, although it was a bit frustrating. She would have probably complied if she were royal, too.

Sighing, she nodded and pinched the bridge of her nose while she thought on their circumstances. No lying, no convincing, Io was reluctant and complicit…

“…How about we spin it like this: I don’t want to take away the thunder from Dekker’s marriage, especially after he just was cured from his illness. Ask for an extension – that we may be married in a year from their wedding. By then, surely, we’ll think of something.”

And if not, she would try to get to know Dekker better at least. So their marriage wasn’t totally forced. He seemed a good man, and was certainly handsome, but she needed more time than this.

“– And in the meantime, I would like to tour the realm to both sell my wares and get more acquainted with ‘our’ future kingdom. And you would come with me. It would be a great bonding experience.”

Io had just veered past the brink of miserable ( Lenora must surely detest him, and he couldn’t quite blame her for it if she did ).

Perhaps she wished he might valiantly stand to his feet before the court and refuse the engagement on the grounds of a simple enough fabrication, yet despite the fact that it likely appeared easier, he simply couldn’t will himself to do it. He couldn’t lie again.

“I apologize. I wish I could make this easier than it is. Matters with my family are rather — complicated, at the moment. I just wish you didn’t need to be involved.” While Io’s father was obviously complicit, it was apparent that her was the one who initiated the scheme against her wishes. At least his own harbored positive intentions; what else might Lenora’s father have attempted to force upon her in the past?

That thought was pushed aside at her suggestion. “That could work.” After all, it would make sense in a majority of aspects. “Many people carry out long engagements nowadays. It shouldn’t sound odd if we requested one.”

She was correct, they were certainly discern a viable escape option in the meantime, and maybe they could even use the farce to Lenora’s advantage. “If nothing else, we can use this time to help you heal others with similar ailments to Dekker. As my fiance, you’ll have all of the resources the kingdom has to offer to aid you.”

@princelylight wanted alois

While appearing at an art exhibit may have been something Alois agreed to, it hadn’t been the art he was interested in. In fact, having nothing to look at but the work displayed around him had nearly bored him to tears. He said that he’d come along because of the artist, actually; the photo that had accompanied the information gave him at least a little something to hope for. Although, he didn’t see the person anywhere at that moment.

Yawning, icy blue eyes took in his surroundings once more, only to give himself an idea. Reaching down, he snagged one of the laces on his boot and pulled – letting the long strings hang down rather than being neatly tied into a delicate bow. It was enough for him to allow himself something to trip over, to purposely send himself to the floor (but not without taking some piece of the exhibit down with him.) He’d catch the artist’s attention somehow. Even if it included having to pay for damages to his work. 

Io had found himself near the back of the large space secured for the exhibition, discussing a few layout issues the coordinator discovered. While he generally prided himself on his affable nature, he was far less inclined to nonchalance where his art was concerned. Particular pieces simply didn’t work in different lighting or placing; although he attempted to convey gentility as he requested last minute transitions, his stomach was in knots. Perfectionism was a heavy burden to carry. However, such concerns were jarred from Io’s mind when a loud crash resounded through the small area.

Turning on his heel, he and the coordinator were quick to locate the cause of the disturbance: a boy sprawled on the floor with one of the paintings ( a smaller one, fortunately ) atop. “Are you all right?” Upon lifting the canvas from its landing place on the blond, he offered his hand. “Should I call for a paramedic? At the very least, we should get you some ice for any bruising.”

xjelani‌:

       She almost seems hyper-aware of his polite, bordering innocent, demeanor now. The men she knew were cold, distant, and desensitized to a woman’s presence. Io’s reserve almost seemed a luxury Lucille had no problem indulging in; it’s something she couldn’t resist, really. 

     A smirk follows his remark, and she gives him nothing but a wink in return. If he was so concerned about the legality her letting a potential minor drink, he’d have an absolute fit finding out what she does for a living. Not that she would tell him. No, she’s a little more satisfied letting this be a one time encounter. 

   The music is loud; bouncing off the walls as different colored neon lights flash between a tangled crowd. It’s hotter inside, and as her eyes adjust to the darkness, her grip on Io’s waist almost seemed to make sense now. She guides him along with her to the bar; sliding past sweaty bodies as Io’s voice dims beneath the noise. Nonetheless, she catches what he insinuates, and for a moment she debates on which name she should give him. 

     She leans into his ear (as though she were telling him a secret), smirk still retained, and whispers it there. “–Lucy.” Is all she says, metal fingers grazing the skin beneath the hem of his shirt. And then the touch is gone, and she’s pulled away to lean onto the counter of the bar – as if it never happened. 

    “Jacks for me! Oh, and a bourbon on the rocks for my friend here.” The bartender nods behind the counter, and starts up on the orders without another word. Lucille only gestures her guest closer with the cock of her head, grinning.

Io’s past forays into such environments have been limited, at best, reserved for moments such as this: when a friend required his assistance in their drunken state, or a band he was intrigued by made an announcement that they would be in attendance. Simply put, a club is the last venue he would have placed himself in, yet here he was.

Amid the throngs of people crushing against one another and music reverberating throughout the packed establishment, he’s already on the verge of becoming overwhelmed ( crowds in close proximity are of chief discomfort to him, the remembrance echoing in his mind ). However, Io has learned long ago, as an aspect of his upbringing, to guard such idiosyncrasies as well as he might, and though he flashes a few swift glances about them, he does little else to rectify the situation. In truth, he’s rather grateful that his new acquaintance was of the mind to pull him with her as she walks.

Once they arrive at the proposed destination, he tilts his head slightly as he regards her. She’s most unlike anyone Io has met prior. When she leans in to reveal her name, the startling discovery of metallic fingertips brushing against his skin sends a jolt down his spine and a fresh flush to his cheekbones. “As of light.” The phrase escapes past his lips partly due to this newfound discovery, but also prompted through his surprise. Io follows her lead, just pressing his lips to the shell of her ear to repeat, “As of light. That’s what Lucy means, yes? It suits you.”

Not in a soft or subtle way, naturally, as one might expect of the gentle glow of the morning sun or a lamp brightening a dim room. No, she’s a brash, strong light that’s sudden — unexpected. Her choice in drink for him testifies to that opinion; he can’t recall the last time he drank bourbon. His eyebrows lift slightly, curious as to whether she ordered it due to a belief that he would enjoy it, or the thought that he wouldn’t.

“What do you like about coming to places like this?” Another not fully thought-out string of words which leaves Io’s tongue. “You seem very used to it.”

list of common rp things you never need to worry about when you’re rping with me:

if i like our plot - i have never feigned interest in a plot. i’d tell you if i wasn’t feeling the plot you pitched. also, i honestly do not go and make posts for plots i’m not interested in. i like being super invested in my ships and i feel like the best way to do that is to be honest about it from the get go. 

not replying fast enough - life is tough, friends. i totally get it. sometimes we don’t have the muse for a thread, sometimes we’re in a bad place mentally and we really just can’t with life, or we’re busy with school or work. shh, you don’t owe me anything. post when able, fam. i don’t drop threads without a warning!

if you think you’re bothering me with headcanons, asks and etc - STOP RIGHT THERE. you are NOT bothering me with those at all. i live for those so KEEP THEM COMING.

if you want more plots/ships - TELL ME. chances are i want them too! 

your post length - your post length really doesn’t bother me - i can get pretty wordy sometimes and honestly i don’t expect people to match me. doesn’t matter if i get a one paragraph reply to a three paragraph one, as long as there’s something to reply to, you know? substance over length any day.

if you want to drop a plot - my feelings don’t get hurt over things like this. tell me if you wanna drop a plot and let’s make a new one if you’re interested, if not then that’s fine too! 

if you have a headcanon/plot you think is too dark - tell me ANYWAY? honestly i don’t have a lot of hard limits and i’ve been on the internet so long that at this point it takes a LOT to scare me. creative freedom is also pretty great, so. 

that being said,

i’m really crap at replying to ims on tumblr! - i have the worst attention span on the planet, and sometimes tumblr hates me so sometimes i don’t get the tumblr chat im pop ups - it’s the weirdest thing ever but i could get messages and i wouldn’t know until i check tumblr on my phone? (but then sometimes three or four days have gone by and oops.) i’m always on telegram tho, so if you have it, and you’d like mine, feel free to drop me an ask and i’ll get to you on there instead!

sometimes i can be in a pretty bad place muse wise too - and it’s definitely not you. i’ll most likely still be sending headcanons and doing ask memes in a rather sad bid to get myself out of that funk but yeah. sometimes it’ll take a few days for me to reply to a thread. i’ll tell you if i want to drop it, though. 

i like making friends - so if you wanna talk about things that aren’t about our ships, that’d be pretty awesome too! 

i get super invested in my ships - and i will probably bother you with asks and headcanons A LOT and i understand this can get annoying especially on days where we’re not really feeling rp, so just tell me if you wanna talk about other things, yes? c: 

god i’m super chill and i hate fighting - rp is supposed to be fun, and though i’ve never actually really fought with anyone in rp land, i know many of my friends have, and i just can’t with that so. yeah. 

i think that’s it, really? i see so many posts by new rpers going around like, ‘ugh the rpc intimidates me’ and i’m just…come over here let me love you. so if you have a plot you want to do, don’t be shy and just hit me up, yes? i don’t bite!

[princelylight-blog]

like for me to hop into your ims and talk pre-established stuff!

i’ve been rping io on this blog for almost two years, and in that time…a lot of the muses io established a rapport with have gone inactive or been archived and so on. that’s kind of to be expected when you tend to hang around your blogs long term, but i’ve really missed having deep relationships to develop io and see both muses grow from them. i’ve been slow the past months because i can be a really slow writer, but i’ve also had a lot of things that’ve been rough to deal with in real life. that being said, i’m always around/active to a degree, and i realized that a lot of my tanking motivation here has been a lack of of the ships and threads io used to have; which sucks so bad because io is my son.

long story short, if you’re interested in having a ship between io and your muse, or a friendship, or a rivalry, or literally anything — please give this post a like and i’ll approach you about it! it’d be great if you have thoughts in mind about where you’d like things to go, but i’m also always up for pitching my own ideas~ if we’ve been rping or have rped before and you want to talk more long term about our muses, feel free to like and we can discuss that, too!

shorthand for who io is if it’s been a while since you peeked at his bio:

The second son of the royal family of Casalaea.

When his brother was diagnosed with a potentially terminal illness when Io was 12, he began to be prepped to take the role that should have been his brother’s.

But when Io was 18, his brother underwent a treatment which lead to a full recovery, and it now seems certain that he can become king.

Io’s relationship with his brother deteriorated due to misunderstanding and doubt.

Once he turned 19, Io transferred to a university in a different country to get some space and figure out what he was going to do with himself now that his life had changed so drastically.

He’s a poetry nerd and is a Pretty Good™ artist, knows six languages, plays violin, is unexpectedly graceful, and is a black belt in karate so he could potentially kick your ass.

io’s team consists primarily of fire and electric types. while he’s fascinated by water types and would honestly love to have an extremely diverse team for the fun of it, it’s not practical ( in his mind ). he loves studying pokemon, which is his goal: to be a great pokemon researcher. io’s very close to all of his companions, but has a special bond with his vulpix. his brother, dekker, helped him catch it and they’ve been inseparable ever since.

BONUS!

i didn’t use any real strategy, haha, i just picked six of my top favorites. :’) mew has been my number one ever since the first movie came out and even though my team changes depending on the game and the new pokemon that are released, i usually try to incorporate at least one of these into it!

ooc;

i’ve been gone much longer than i meant to, so thank you to everyone who’s been patient with me. <3 i’ve been really sick this month and had a death in my close family, both of which have really stifled my motivation. i’m doing better now, though, and i’m excited to get back to my boy~

i hope everyone’s doing well!
