open to any !
it was unsettling, learning that upon the next day their visitors were at full power. until now, evander could relax, know that they had their full magic and could easily end any fight. now his men were on edge, and he was unable to hide his own apprehension. still, the general walked the streets, eyes alert and taking in any potential threats to his home. when he catches another seeming almost groggy, the general can't help but bite back a chuckle. " the festivities can be difficult to recover from the next day. " he was surprised to see so many up, then again, a resurgence of magic would do that.

the son of a man who never seemed to smile, evander hardly grew up with a warm and affectionate home life. he never really wanted for anything, lesser nobles of the dusk court providing well for their family, but a hole would always remain in his heart where the love of a father was missing. others in his life tried to fill the space, nannies turned into other household staff that wanted to ensure the young lord knew love. it helped to an extent, but it seems evander was bound to take after his father even if others tried to stop it. destiny is a stubborn thing.
it was no secret in his youth that his father expected much of him, a man always out to better their house, ensure future generations would survive and succeed. the late lord voss was a warrior, and well known at that. he served right under the general of the armies, a right hand man if you will. his desires for evander to follow in his footsteps were never a secret, pushed into the life of a soldier that he never wanted. but the army was a good change for ev, raised so similar that he blended into the ranks with ease. even more, he rose them quicker than even his father. the man may have had pride for it, but none of it was for him. evander set out to�� make his own name, and did so with great success. only, evander's ambitions were far more than that of the late lord voss, no, he wished to become the top soldier of all the armies.
and become that he did. evander serves as the general of the armies for the dusk court. he's capable, and puts his court above all else. he can be a bit secretive, a bit aloof and to himself, but it's always to the benefit of dusk. people can question a lot about the lord, but not his commitment. he is a soldier through and through, and has long earned the respect of all in his ranks.
his messy history can be found in the child had not too far into his adulthood, and the ex wife he was not the best to. the marriage ended when tragedy struck. very few know the story, and even less that he was even bonded, but evander faced tragedy about 80 years ago when his bonded dragon passed of old age. it tore him up inside, and made him turn into a shell of a man for a good while. he put nothing above his job, and only focused on passing through the days. these days, he doesn't speak of his dragon at all, the memories still too painful and has no intentions to ever bond again.
over all evander seems very closed off, very stern and no smile to be seen. he's not, he's got a softer side thanks to those in his youth and his child, he just only shows it to a select few people. his heart is large for the dusk court and his family, though, not closed off like his father's had been. still, he always feels pressure on his shoulders from the generations before him and is always trying to live up to standards only he places on himself.
𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬
on main : ex wife + his kid
other ideas : rly open to anything, he's closed off a lot but he def is not a loner

the night had been filled with merriment, and even the general couldn’t deny how well it had gone. weary from the start, he’d calmed down, visited the vendors and spent far too much coin in his ill daughter, and watched his soliders lose their inhibitions and get dragged back to the barracks by their peers. a tightly wound fae by nature, he’d forced himself to relax a hair and not be angry the entire night. he always had a soft spot for festivities. tradition was important to the general. evander smirks, wondering if any would question what he’d gotten into the night prior. “ neither. i choose not to indulge when there are so many new faces about. ” he admits honestly. it doesn’t surprise ev that he’s been recognized, he went more days than not being identified by his own fellow dusk fae. it made sense for the mainland fae to try and learn who the important people were in their new prison. a nod comes from the man, and he’s glad to hear it even if he cares little for mainlanders. “ i’m hopeful our celebrations also helped ease some of the tensions you all hold for being shifted somewhere against your will. ” he would at least acknowledge it was difficult for the mainland fae. evander didn’t hate them entirely, he simply had his guard up and hoped things worked out for the betterment of the dusk court rather than a forcing of rules and politics. his head tilts at the others words, and ev has to bite back a chuckle. high lords seemed bold from all that he’d learned of the 7 prythian held. “ apprehension to new peers is to be expected, my lord. i am a general, it is my job to assess all as a threat. your beast form alone could ruin this court, would you not agree ? ” he doesn’t really wait for an answer. “ it would be foolish of me not to be on my guard, even if you give your word not to do such a thing. my high lord values my insight, and my caution. it is how i serve as a proper general. i do not dislike speaking to those of you from the mainland, i dislike having so many new faces to judge when they too are not too happy to be here either. it's given me quite a bit of work to do. ”
once saint would never sit idle on parties or festivities, and when it came to the dawn court's yearly celebrations, it was one of the few things the high lord looked forward to. a part of him had wished to let go, and indulge as the others did around him. given into his greater urges for a night, but he refrained, and truly he was not certain how he managed such a thing, or perhaps running into the woman who haunted his past in every conceivable manner and had placed an end to any ideas he might have entertained. instead, saint found some for of contentment simply standing on the sidelines and watching her. the very least, the high lord did attempt to be useful and studied the dusk fae, as if the night would reveal anything imperative about these people and their lands. "which one do you fall under, general evander, is it?" there was no doubt he was, saint's spies had given him enough information to identify which faces were of consequence in this court. "the goal was achieved, more so that we had a chance to mingle with you all on a closer level. i do not think any of the courts have experienced anything close to this for all hallow's eve." his head tilts as he appraised the general before him, "you all do not seem keen on mingling with your fellow courts. while i understand your court's apprehension, if we're to remain here for the foreseeable future, we will benefit far more with communication amongst us all. wouldn't you high lord agree?"

evander’s brows scrunch up with concern at the words form his daughter, hoping she’d gotten better by now. he’d been checking in as he was able, busy with his duties and hating that he wasn’t able to be more of a caregiver. “ you could check in with the other healers. ” suggests the general. he had little skill when it came to such things, but it was odd tohear any of them sick for any extended amount of time. it kept his worry high, as usual when it came to his daughter.
evelyn had been one of the few in town that hadn't been able to attend the halloween festivities, she had been slightly ill with a cold when the town had been celebrating it, and it was one of those colds that just never seemed to go away. hearing her father's voice as she tried her best to get rid of the aching headache that she currently had with some ale, she looked up at him with tired eyes. "i'm afraid i wasn't able to attend said festivities due to this annoying cold. is it normal for a cold to last a week or more, father?"

a general first and foremost, a host second. evander felt he had to toe the line between his desire to keep these fae out of his home, and the order of his high lord to be welcoming. still, the warrior knew how to behave, and he offered his usual demeanor without allowing an edge to fill his voice. in truth, he would have kept walking and not spoken at all were he on his normal behavior. this was his best. " incredibly so, but they will learn in due time. " he shares, finding amusement in the status of most of his soldiers this morning.
bastian holds no blame towards the dusk fae in not wanting to be involved with the the guests. though the longer that they hold out on them the more it furthered that they didn't really want to be involved with the other courts. the return of their magic is something that he knows the dusk court is worried over. he'd have been just as worried over it if the roles were reversed. "ah the day after a party is always a hard one on the majority."

in the army, one always trusted their commanding officer to make the best decision for them all. that was no different when it came to the general and the high lord. he understood the importance of adding an emissary to their ranks to handle navigating the new courts, hidden no longer, but he also felt it was rather amusing. their roles could go hand in hand, or be the complete opposites. aurora had done nothing to cause his distrust, and so ev remained open to her opinions and how she felt to go about things. besides, she hadn't asked him to play friendly host so that was something. the general enjoyed his privacy, and trust was difficult to earn in his book. while he would allow one to start on a blank page, he still did not wish to do so with all of the prythian fae on their island. " certainly not with so many fresh faces about. " he shares with a shrug. it wasn't even a question, he needed to remain vigilant should the semblance of peace that seemed to settle shatter in an instant. a chuckle slips from the otherwise stoney general, " not more than i expected, but still enough for the vendors to be quite thankful of my presence. "
long before aurora had the intent of joining the high lord's inner circle, she had done her homework on all of the others who had been working closely with the high family. of them, both the general and the spymaster of the dusk court struck as the most reclusive of the circle. knowing very well she was a stark contrast among most of them with her optimism. aurora was careful even in her eagerness to know the rest of prythian. as a younger girl, despite their dark mother's warning all she had wanted was to see the rest of the world. she believed their dark mother just as they all had, but it did not quell her hunger to know, to explore. in a strange turn of events, they all handed landed on her court. what did that mean? the emissary couldn't help but wonder at different points of her day. "a general could never be off his guard, now can he?" she teases, but unsurprised at the other's words. he was a father as well, and among their guests running she could sympathize with his fear for his daughter. "how much did she have you spent this time around?" a curious look in her lilac hues, but amused that this young girl had her father wrapped around her finger as aurora had with her own father.

it wasn't difficult to pick up on when someone's mind seemed to linger in the night before. were they friendly, ev would offer an ear to hear what seemed to possess the other so. but this was no such situation, and he found that keeping cordial and distant with the prythian high rulers was better than trying to offer them friendships that were not yet sincere. evander was keeping the fact that he knew who the other was to himself, speaking to him as if he were just another fae from the mainland. the general rarely let others into his mind, let his secrets out and admitted what he was thinking or knew. it was the best skill he had in his position. the joke was often that he was little more than a stoic statue. a slight chuckle slips from his lips, " the wines certainly can add or subtract from the night. " he reasons. his thoughts were only confirmed at the admission from the high lord, but he again does not push. " i am certain he shall be thankful to hear it. it had been a shared hope amongst the inner circle for our mainland visitors to see a night of celebration and fun. "
perhaps in another lifetime, the excitement of the previous evenings festivities would have catch onto the high lord of dawn. fates knew who he was when he was a young male who had been handed his every wish. the future high lord of the dawn court was never refused, that even a father as cold his own was known to spoil his eldest child. saint, instead, had spent his evening doing the worst possible thing he could have done, facing a past he had no business become involved with again. it was true what they said, the heart wanted what it wanted, and after all these years, he hadn't put away of the memory of her for good. seeing her last night, when he should have walked away, well, the high lord knew he was a fool to believe he could stay away. he glanced to the sleep-ridden individual not too from far where he and general of dusk stood. "for some more than others, it appears. perhaps its a good thing i did not touch the wines." well, he had consumed something far stronger but it had not given him the numbness he had been seeking. "i will have to pass along my praises to your high lord for such a festive welcoming."

less gruff with those he knew, it was still a far cry from friendly. evander didn't have a single complaint about adding aurora to the inner circle, a new position that was dearly needed. she'd done well, but the way they approached things was too different for them to truly be that close. he did respect her for her eagerness and commitment to her duty, though. he smirks at her joke, but doesn't offer a laugh. " it wouldn't be the wisest to lose myself in the fae wine. " he replies, not really the best joking reply but it is his best. ev has never been accused of being a trickster. " it was a fun night. i was mostly dragged around to spend coin. " his child was impossible to say no to.
aurora hadn't mean to go overboard at all, but certainly the excitement of the festivities, made grander with their guests, she may have gotten a bit carried away. once when she had finally managed to monopolize a certain summer's faes time for the rest of the evening. she thought of sleeping for just a few hours, but wasting time day hours was not any appealing either. hearing the commander's chuckle had her gaze shift towards him, "i see you had no trouble doing so. i wouldn't expect any less from the general." it certainly ended on a high note for their guests, she had heard the news quickly that their magic had been restored. even caught some of them experimenting with it as if to be certain it was all returned. "did you enjoy yourself?"

evander didn't really like to socialize with the mainland fae. it had nothing to do with the teachings of their dark mother, though that didn't help, but more with his lack of trust in anyone new. a general, it was his job to assess for threats and plan accordingly. the knowledge of the new fae having their powers back didn't sit well with him in the slightest. but, ev pushed himself to take a breath, to relax, and to remind himself he needed to be easier to approach in order to truly assess these mainland fae. " i'm certain of it. the barracks are full of those still trying to suffer through their previous choices. " he offers with a slight chuckle.
no one could have predicted when they were going to get their magic back. bastian felt the return of his powers as the event came to an end. the relief felt by the third in command for the dawn court was immediate. while he'd had yet to speak with his friend and high lord since feeling his powers return he knew that saint would be relieved that they had their powers back. at the same time he knew that the dusk court was about to be worried about all of their guests having the powers back. "i'll get over it." the male told the other. "i'm sure there are others that are struggling harder than i."
