the moment he spotted nyx, kerim knew why she'd been avoiding him prior to the event. stars above, this woman hated him. it was unfair, and here he simply looked as he normally did, opting to be a bat… it was the easiest option. " care for a walk about the gardens, my lady ? " it was the nicest thing he could say, rather than joke of how she must not desire to stay out late tonight. // @stxrslisten

kerim shakes his head a bit, but has the barest of smile that he's made another laugh. " i feel our wings already loom enough, some of these costumes will likely not be in full by the end of the night. " some of the high fae had gone the more extravagant route, which neither of them seemed to agree with. " have you found a shop that can make leathers large enough for you ? i found one that is passable. "
the explanation of his costume is so perfectly illyrian that soobin can't help the laugh that falls from his own lips. "i cannot blame you, i am only in this because it was what the tailor had and could adjust to fit in time. i was not about to come up with some huge costume when i'd rather not be wearing this." soobin didn't think that there would be a single illyrian at the event that actually wanted to be in costume.

𝐜𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐫 : @stxrslisten / nyx
it was too easy to find her in the crowd, and while kerim knew logic would demand he stay away, but something pulled the war lord towards the woman even if they were better off apart. “ i meant to find the second in command and offer my compliments, but you’re too stunning to pass up. i hope you’ve been told how beautiful you are tonight. ” he speaks as if they don’t know one another, as if they had no history at all. the masks made a game, despite his annoyance at the object on his face. could they pretend to be strangers for just one night ?

the capital wasn’t the best for him. most things were built for average height fae, not looming illyrians that bumped their head on every doorway. kerim was certain he had a permanent red spot on his forehead from it all already. or maybe that was due to hitting his head when he tried to go for a night flight. mind busy on his complaint, and the war lord does just that once more, bumping his head on the archway he attempted to walk through to make his way out to the gardens. “ stars ! ” he silently curses, not often one to have outbursts, but it was really grating on his nerves.

“ you’d think since finally choosing to indulge in the spymaster, your mood would seem less sour. ” kerim greets his friend, really the only one who has ever put up with him for any extended amount of time. the illyrian couldn’t really speak to much, he’d been far more than busy with nyx any time she would allow it. “ but perhaps you were born with that scowl. ” continues he. // @shvdwscng

in lands not his own, kerim is like a fish out of water, but the illyrian does all that he can to keep his training at the forefront of his mind. worry for his loved ones claws at his insides, but the warrior has to push it all away. emotions cloud abilities, until he knows his setting, best to keep them locked away.
when an irritated voice reaches his ears, the war lord turns, eyebrow raised to find what he believes to be one of the day lords. kerim doesn’t put much stock in remembering those of noble birth outside of the night court, but their time in the capital lead him to recognize some. “ there are far better ways to request someone move. ” he replies curtly, slowly stepping side anyway because he does not wish to hear this lord whine at him any longer.
@stxrfclls cormac & kerim
Cormac flipped through his book rapidly, trying to find some sort of answers. He wished he had a drink or a cigar to keep himself company. He scribbled down a few notes before glancing up. Someone was standing in the way of the dim light he was using to write in his book. "Would you mind?" He asked. "Out of the light please." He waved them away. "Unless you're here to discuss what you think we're doing here and how they've magically got us from the capital to here... Remove your huge frame from the small source of light I have." He spoke to the stranger in front of him.

a warrior trained for more than he can even list, and this was not something kerim had ever imagined possible. it was like waking on the mountain during his blood rite, only he’d been far more expectant of that. waking on the roof of some apothecary was the farthest thing from his mind when he laid his head down that previous night. eyes wide, the illyrian warrior took every detail in before slowly slipping down from the roof. his wings twitch, itching to see the skies, but scouting seems smart first. and that’s when he spots her, voice slipping before he makes it to her side. “ nyx ! ” / @stxrslisten

even standing at the edges of the gardens, kerim stood out far too greatly. the illyrian war lord was far too tall to blend in, despite the mask atop his face. it did help hide some of his expression, even if he didn’t care much on if another picked up on his feelings of this event. when he hears steps, the illyrian shifts a bit, glancing at the newcomer. “ come to find a hiding spot ? ”

kerim stood out like a sore thumb, donning his nicer leathers and cleaning up as best he could. his curls were still untamed, wings tightly tucked to avoid bumping into anything. he didn’t want to be here, but here is where he was expected to be. “ why does everyone seem so happy to be here ? ” he questions as he steps up to stand alongside the commander.

being in the capital had been a rather annoying experience thus far for the war lord. walking carefully, he was well aware of the territory he walked.. and who walked it more often than he. keeping tabs on his former warriors was a habit he’d taken up ages ago, this one was easy to watch because she never moved. even still, kerim found it even more difficult to avoid seeing the other as he moved throughout the damned place they were all trapped. finding her on one of the training grounds, mostly all but abandoned due to the time of night, was hardly what he wished to do. “ your form has improved. ” your form ? well. better to announce himself than to pretend he’d not seen her, he supposed.

illyrian powers were not the same as that of the fae, not something that could be used without their siphons. kerim didn't have any, left in the capital for all he knew when the magic brought them all here. seeing the fae flaunt their returned abilities didn't bother the war lord, but it did make him uneasy. beasts in the sky, annoyances on the ground. it made for a very fish out of water winged fae. or a bat out of the sky, if you'd rather. still, he walked the streets to observe the masses, still trying to gather what they were all doing these days. " the magic seems to have chosen to return. " or was it gifted back ?

" have any guessed what you have come dressed as ? " kerim finds himself asking the youngest draven. he's bored, and attempting to behave and socialize before sneaking off before the dusk breakfast. the eternal skies overhead in hues of sunset fit the event perfectly, but even still it made him long for home even more. // @ethercvl

possessive as ever, it should come as no surprise that kerim immediately moves to the space behind nyx, ready for a reaction as he places his arms around her waist. “ i found a leather worker. you may have better luck than i at an attempt of armor. ” he whispers gently. kerim was clad in the contraption created for him, not bad for someone who had never seen illyrian leathers, but the spoilt war lord was fussy about them. either way, his wings were out and the back had been crafted to seal around them so he wasn’t walking around with giant slits in his top. // @stxrslisten

‘ alp navruz, cis man, he/him, 35 / 350 , illyrian ’ ― cauldron save you. it seems kerim cevik has finally made it to the capital, the war lord of an illyrian war camp from night court is said to be intelligent and is said to describe themselves with the ability to swap between serious and silly with a snap, dark looming wings that never manage to bump into anything, a silent observance while forming thoughts and with all of this in mind their reserved nature always seems to get them into trouble. may the mother hold them as they navigate this unthinkable time. ; written by honey.

growing up so remote didn’t give kerim many ideas of the world outside of the war camp. he trained night and day alongside his fellow illyrians, hoping to never be needed, but planning for the worst. it made for a rather grim upbringing, never having a childhood as he was nothing but a warrior. their mother was far too busy tending to the young, father one of the hardest trainers in the place. they were left to their own devices, expected to perform and be the absolute best.
the pressure on his shoulders made kerim a rather quite child. he learned to observe, plan, think, and speak when his thoughts were fully formed. he was not rash, not brazen like his brothers or untamed like his fellow warriors. kerim truly became the image his parents wanted. any goofy tendency was hidden behind closed doors, a perfect warrior when anyone else was looking. it’s why there was nos surprise when the former war-lord of the camp took the young boy under his wing, a special interest in a potential successor. the man never had children, but as he aged he realized that running a camp was not the rest of his life. kerim proved to be a potential answer to the problem the war-lord found.
years would pass, and kerim would become the most skilled in the camp, the best trainer, a leader who cared for his fellow illyrians but pushed them to be the best. when the war-lord was ready to leave, retire and take a step back, the night court general had no questions. kerim became the new war-lord and has served in the position for nearly 4 decades now.
kerim can come off as intimidating and stoic, but he’s really just quietly watching things. around his warriors, it ranges. those he trusts the most, he can be goofy, make sarcastic comments that seem entirely serious, and snap right back into war-lord mode. to most, he’s a good leader, respected by his illyrians and always striving to do them right. he doesn’t yell, he doesn’t show anger, and he pushes them to be the best knowing they can. he can be a bit difficult to get close to, but once you are he very much is loyal to a fault and will do anything for the people he loves. he’s loyal to the high lord, not understanding why any other camp leaders would feel otherwise. his camp is well known for being one of the most progressive, but also producing some of the best warriors. they also have a special legion of women who are very difficult to get into and feared for their skill.

“ with how scarce you’ve been, i feared you found some secret way out. ” kerim greets his best friend. they’d both been busy, reasonably so with the loss of powers and fear circulating the capital. kerim was worried for the other, knowing it must be difficult to have a larger loss than most. the daemati was surely grumpy at the turn of events, and as a friend it was his duty to check on the other. that, and he wished to confirm who was keeping the commander so busy.

kerim didn't seek out anyone for the most part. he'd caught himself doing it twice now with one person, anyone else was happenstance. however, when he spotted a familiar face that did not drive him mad, well, the war lord knew he should socialize a bit so he wasn't accused of being a reclusive grump… even though he was. " up to nothing good, i assume ? "
