was aydin the best role model to be around a child ? not in the slightest. but, the night lord found that seeing his nephew was a joy not even he'd expected. seems the lord of nightmares had a soft spot after all. it's why he finds himself knocking on the doors to his brother's rooms, all while hoping it's his brother's wife who answers. relief finds him when it seems the fates have grinned, and the high lady of the night court opens the door. " i brought something for the small one. " he says in greeting, holding up a bag with a small toy inside, one of a stuffed bat.

aydin was no stranger to waking in a restroom, or even a place he hadn't remembered closing his eyes in. perhaps that is why he isn't overly worked up over that portion of his morning, though the location being a court of fables and tales certainly may take the cake. " it was a clean toilet. " he says with a shrug, thankful for that at least. the space not being his own had drawn slight concern, but he was able to slip out before whoever did live there even noticed.
Julissa stared at the man with blinking confusion, the confession the other makes seems like something she would never admit to, not even if her life truly depended of it, it seemed worst than her cackling alone at the reality of waking up at the dusk court. she had seen and heard of the night court lord through malik and his stories from home and his family, spotted him across rooms in the capital. "i shall not complain about my spawning situation after such confession, you clearly win for worst place to wake up in."

he doesn't mean to grab them so hastily, but watching a young faeling flinging fire about with no regard to those around them pushes aydin to move quickly. the reawakening of their powers is something to be celebrated, but not at the expense of another. the night lord's hands are quick to land at imalda's sides, pulling the artist away from the line of fire just as it sizzles past them. for once, he doesn't allow his touch to linger, and offers a slight smirk in response to the manhandling. " i would apologize, but i didn't think i could stand to see you get singed. " comes the shameless flirt.

easy to spot, aydin chuckles at the similar choices made of siblings. his outfit favored the silver stars of the sky, but his sister embodied one of their best holidays. one many would not even know about. even still, the older brother pushes his mask to the top of his head and falls into step with the younger draven. " and what have you dressed as? " teases he. // @ethercvl

aydin was annoyed, he wasn't scared, he wasn't angry, he was just annoyed. sitting on the shores that he was certain lead to the night court, he watches as the waves pull and bend, water churning as if telling him they were not yet safe. he didn't fear for any of his family, each capable of handling themselves, and he certainly didn't worry for mi-cha. it may appear as if he were pouting, and perhaps he was, but he was truly just trying to think of a plan. tapping his leg, the night lord pushes from his seated position and he glances around, faintest scent telling him what direction to head in. it's faint, but it takes little time to round a corner of buildings and spot the familiar raven haired far. aydin zips to a stop in front of her, hands firmly grasping her hips and pulling her body against his own. he's always manhandling her. " hello my little nightmare, how is your vacation thus far ? "

a brand new world, one with hazy skies filled with hues of orange and beasts with wings. aydin wasn't a philosopher, he didn't spend his time pondering the fates of the realm or what secrets it beheld, but he still never would have imagined an entirely hidden court. in his heart, he knows he's close to his home, and it's unsettling to think that an entire civilization of fae were living so close to home, unknown to his family. he may seem as if he doesn't care, and in many ways he does not, but aydin doesn't like this at all. when he hears a voice, the lord spins, hands behind his back and eyebrow cocked. " no, i don't believe any of us should be. nor did we have a choice in the matter. " he'd awoken half slumped on a toilet, believing perhaps he'd forgotten himself but soon learning there was far more to it. " the dusk court ? interesting. " he murmurs, thoughts confirmed. " was this an expected welcome or are you as caught by surprise as we ? " questions the lord.
Open starter for anyone ( @ofcourtfablesarchive ) who happens to exit the high ceilings of the palace and into an open courtyard in the Dusk Court.
Perched on the ancient stone wall of the open courtyard, Vesparia exuded an aura of predatory grace. Her lithe form seemed to meld with the shadows, her piercing eyes scanning the newcomer with a mix of curiosity and challenge. Her flowing white hair cascaded like a waterfall down her back as she balanced effortlessly, like a panther ready to pounce, her presence both commanding and enigmatic. A soft breeze whispered through the courtyard, but Vesparia remained still, a living embodiment of the Dusk Court's fierce, untamed spirit, eagerly anticipating the arrival of those who had breached her domain. "You shouldn't be here," Vesparia said, her voice smooth and unwavering, eyes gleaming with curiosity. "Nevertheless, welcome to the Dusk Court."

@courtfallen
he didn't talk to his brother, in fact, aydin had created the narrative that his brother didn't like him, and that he chose to avoid him. was it true ? one would have to ask the high lord of night. but aydin was also well aware he could not avoid his brother forever, especially when they shared apartments so close in proximity to one another. so, when the younger draven walks out and spots the other, he looks up, groans internally, and then flashes a smile to the eldest. " sleep at all with the tiny creature you've brought into this world ? "

‘ tolga mendi, cis man, he/him, 32 / 320 , high fae ’ ― cauldron save you. it seems aydin draven has finally made it to the capital, the lord from the night court is said to be confident and is said to describe themselves with consistent disappointment, decisions made with little thought + a living black sheep and with all of this in mind their sarcastic nature always seems to get them into trouble. may the mother hold them as they navigate this unthinkable time. ; sibling to the high ruler

( tw : tbh idk he's a jerk )
second born son, aydin knew he was the spare early in his life. perhaps he put that into his own mind, perhaps his environment made him think it so. either way, the lord was quick to become a show of nothing, living up to little and earning the mantle of family disappointment. he grew distant from his family, often far from the house of wind in velaris and living within the court of nightmares instead. the hewn city welcomed its child, ayden fitting in as the type of lord all believe the night court to produce. he was nothing like his family, arrogant and filled with an act to cover up the feelings deep inside.
aydin isn't a thinker in most peoples' minds, he seems more like a reckless hedonistic lord lavishing in his title than someone capable of more. it's only slightly an act, he prefers to live his life with little worry, little thought, and certainly little drama. while aydin is plenty capable of playing the game, toying with people and keeping his reputation as filthy as it is, he doesn't care to. he's lazy, impetus, and incredibly stubborn. a flirty little shit, he's certainly had a long string of ex lovers and is well known for not being the best at relationships.
over all, aydin is cocky, charming, and arrogant as hell. he's still a little flirty, but certainly not to the point that he's angling for anything romantic. he enjoys stirring the pot, angering people, and annoying people. his words are intentionally careless, or intentionally thought. sarcasm is his favorite mode of conversation. he's the black sheep of the dravens, many forgetting he's even a lord as he doesn't often share it. he still lives within the hewn city far more than in velaris, a true nightmare lord.

aydin’s eyes instantly roll when the scent of his sister in law reaches his nose. it’s nothing against the former dawn fae by any means, but he assumes his brother is not too far any time the woman is around. when he isn’t met with the other scent, the younger night lord’s eyebrows raise a bit. interesting. “ good morning, seraphina. ” he greets in the most polite fashion he can muster. aydin isn’t the best behaved by any means, but he does try not to be a total ass to the woman that married his brother. // @stxrslisten

he should probably be kinder, but aydin had never really learned how to be a proper brother. raised as a spare to the night seat of power, he'd not been expected to play well with others. he'd just been a hair off of care and love, despite knowing well that his parents did care for him. they hadn't really cared to encourage aydin to play well with others, and so he didn't. " just my baby brother in the same garb as yesterday, which i suppose is a different type of monster. " he teases. aydin has had his fair share of such walks, so he really has no room to judge. does he share that now ? of course not, this was far too fun. he doesn't even hide his amusement, allowing it to roll off of him in waves. " you're the one that's loud. " he points out, even if he's hardly whispering. but he allows eldar to pull him along, and breakfast does sound like a proper way to spend the morning. " careful, i'll think you enjoy spending time with me little brother. " he teases further.
the smirk on aydin's face was intolerable, so he avoided his eyes. it had been naive to think his brother hadn't caught on what it was eldar was doing, but he wanted to hold on to some hope. " oh, i don't know, how about 'it's me, your brother, not an unidentified monster' ? " eldar spoke expressively and his hands held up gesturing he considered the answer to be obvious. he took a second to glance around trying to hear if anyone else was walking down the hallway or stirring in one of the rooms, but couldn't hear anything close by, only the early morning sounds of the castle staff. " i have not woken up everyone, yet, speaking of which, let's keep it that way. " his hand found a place on aydin's shoulder as he gestured them to continue walking. " let's get some quality brother time accompanied by a hearty breakfast, shall we ? i'm famished. "

kalore grey was not the type that aydin chose to spend his time with. in fact, he actively avoided the fae chosen to serve his brother in second. the island they were now calling another home seemed difficult to stay away from everyone on his list, though, and soon enough it was impossible not to see the midnight haired fae. aydin would groan if he didn’t wish to give the man yet another reason to add to the growing list of things the draven did wrong. “ i have yet to do anything, i am not due a lecture. ” // @shvdwscng

playing with his hair was something aydin did when he was stressed, and the word alone was not enough to encompass how he felt about the continued stay in the dusk court. he wouldn’t admit it, but any time away from rika only served to make his mood even more sour. it’s why the night lord relaxes when he spots her weaving through the crowd, hands flashing out to yank her into his lap the moment he can. “ were you not tasked with keeping me behaved ? how can you do so when you seem to be away from me more often than not, my little nightmare ? ” // @unfaed

avoiding his family was one thing, avoiding hazan was another. aydin inherently chose to stay as far as possible from most of his brother’s inner circle, save for taylan. it made sense for the eldest to chose to place family in his inner circle, but in aydin’s mind it only made more of a reason not to come around. he knew who he was, and knew what his family must think. however, it could be said that he had a heart, and being in the dusk court only made him realize that he could only hide so much. a cough comes from his lips when he sees the third in command. “ i didn’t do it. ” he’d actually been behaved as of late. // @jadedblud

being the black sheep of the family, aydin didn’t really spend much time around his family. it wasn’t anything against them, purely his own desire not to be wrapped up in court politics. being in velaris was a rarity for the draven, making his home in the court of nightmares and living up to the reputation the world thought of a night fae. he was capable of more, but aydin chose not to show that. being in lands that were only fabled wasn’t something he’d planned on, nor getting trapped in the capital. the surprises were tiring, but it did make him wish to check in with his siblings far more than he had ever before. so, when he was strolling and spotted the youngest of their house, aydin took a detour. “ have you yet to befriend a giant lizard ? ” // @ethercvl

“ i’m going to guess you have yet to find my brother if you are not joined at the hip ? ” aydin had never really made an effort to get to know the woman his brother had wed, aware of how the other had been distant for decades upon learning the beautiful secret of velaris. it seemed either they’d figured that out, or at least agreed to create a spawn. while he may not have gotten to know the other, he certainly didn’t wish ill upon her. being stuck in a new court, a fabled secret, alone, was not a sight he enjoyed. “ lest i have to lecture him about letting his pregnant wife wander foreign lands alone if you have found him. ” // @stxrslisten

toying with a small little cloud, aydin found he couldn’t really care that much about having his magic back. he’d always been stronger with nightmare magic, but that was hardly a gift he’d consider given from the mother. it wasn’t as if he were going to be testing that out at present. when the door to the common area for the dravens opens, the night lord dispells his little cloud and lazily glances to spot his sister in law. “ have you yet toyed with your returned magic ? ” comes his greeting.
