𝐅𝐑𝐎𝐌 𝐖𝐀𝐋𝐎𝐂𝐇𝐍𝐈𝐀: EVENT. —— open
fear reigns the lady’s heart so rarely , for she’s built a cage around herself to protect from all harm - fighting against every instinct in her . now , everything she is seems to have disappeared , her senses nullified , making her no different from any other . she can see others speaking around her with some clarity , yet she hears nothing more than mumbles . it puts her on end , and for once the spy feels both free and lost . as a young girl , she’d prayed to the gods time after time asking them to free her from her curse - yet none had answered . now the so called ‘ relief ’ of her curse is most unwelcome . they do not enjoy the touch of strangers , nor even most of their companions , yet genya does not even question herself as she stops them , grasping their wrist to halt their pace . ❝ tell me i’m not the only one . ❞

Bed, wed or behead: artair, pritam or kadri
the look upon their face is more than a little unimpressed , filled with long dealt with frustrations . ❝ is this really necessary ? ❞ genya questions , annoyance clear . ❝ i , well , i would behead them all rather then wed or bed them . men hold no interest for me . ❞

there’s a pause as genya glances upon the speaker , considering her words with caution . ❝ she is . . . tiresome . ❞ as an intelligence officer , she must be wise with each word she chooses . and as she has become the eyes and ears of the court , she knows this better than post . beyond this , she has heard things that make the matter close to heart . ❝ but no more than any of the frivolous ladies of the court . and my brother . . . i believe they are fond of eachother . ❞

𝐅𝐑𝐎𝐌 𝐖𝐀𝐋𝐎𝐂𝐇𝐍𝐈𝐀: @thcwandcrcr + @mightyecho
AIDAN. —— ❛❛ i’m not entirely sure what’s happening right now … ❜❜
❝ a friend of mine would call it a peace offering . ❞
that was what all soldiers were fighting for after all , right ? to end the war and find peace . and while the frey siblings are not at war , nor are they at peace . the ground beneath their feet is ever shifting as they face the world , and no amount of closing ranks upon themselves will help anything .
❝ uh , it’s not much but uh , shit . ❞ they’d all loved one another so much , once . not to say the love had been lost over the years , but it had been hidden away . at least , in genya’s part . there could be no room for love , or ties to home , when one risked their life each day - throwing themselves into enemy territory with no exit strategy . but even if that isn’t over with , being around them both is forcing her to step beyond the walls she’s built to make the effort . they’d both done so much for her in her childhood , and perhaps she owes them . she’d invited them , both of them , to a rooftop terrace in order to air out what needed releasing . ❝ it’s really not much . i just know i needed to see you . both of you . ❞
#so this is both an answered to that and a starter for y'all#thcwandcrcr#mightyecho#𝐆𝐄𝐍𝐘𝐀. ❝ as swirling tumbling grains of hourglass sand . ❞ dialogues.

who: @thcwandcrcr
when: event ii . “ the festival of the divine . . . ”
she’s always been good at observing . even as a child , those wide eyes of hers watched over the people around her like an owl - blinking so rarely and missing nothing . though much has changed over the years , this has not . she clenches her knuckles tightly , hiding them within her skirts .
there’s something uncomfortable tingling in her chest , and she’s reminded of being just a little girl held in his arms . she’d been smaller then , held up in his arms as though she was lighter than air - doe eyes wide and mouth hanging open in laughter . she wonders now if he will still love her , even if she’s nothing more than trouble to him . a troublesome sister he’s sure to have forgotten long ago . after all , she’d never returned home after the academy , nor during her time in the war . for how could she when so much blood lie on her hands ? they’d all be so disappointed in her - in all the things she named achievements .
troublesome though she may be , a girl is no coward . once his companion strays from his side , she approaches . tucking herself in beside him , she speaks up .
❝ you’re still not as tall as i remember . the aidan i remember was taller than the trees we left our gifts beneath each year . ❞

𝐅𝐑𝐎𝐌 𝐖𝐀𝐋𝐎𝐂𝐇𝐍𝐈𝐀: ALEKSEI. —— @mightyecho ❛❛ i always figured i’d die young. why not do it shoving my boot up that murderer’s ass? ❜❜
❛ you know , i’m trying to eat here . ❜ genya says , mock annoyance in her tone . something she does so rarely , and even less where she enjoys the foods . plain flavours are best , nothing to bother her taste buds much . a fellow soldier had cooked a meal for their brethren , once . made up of what spices had been found in a deserted ottolan village . even just a few bites of that had been nothing but displeasing , the heat turning her off eating for weeks . she’d lost weight quickly over those many years , and not all of it could be blamed on working tirelessly .
❛ the last thing i want is to picture that at the same time . ❜

𝐅𝐑𝐎𝐌 𝐖𝐀𝐋𝐎𝐂𝐇𝐍𝐈𝐀: AIDAN. —— @thcwandcrcr ❛❛ your lip is trembling. and what is that upon your cheek? ❜❜
❝ it’s just a scratch . one of many , if you must know . ❞
she is no fighter , though she carries daggers with her for moments of need . spy is not meant for battle , knows little of what it’s like to fight for her kingdom . she knows secrecy and lies , yet in this moment neither is so easy . for a girl cannot hide so well from one who has known her since before she took her first steps , from before the blessing and curses of her abilities .
❝ but i am no coward that would flee at first sign of danger . even if it does harm me so . ❞ she continues , eyes turning to look out across the room . she hadn’t stayed long , but had gathered those nearest to follow after her to safety . now she hopes healing comes quick .
❝ as for the trembling - my senses , i believe them to be more curse than gift in this moment . ❞

𝐅𝐑𝐎𝐌 𝐖𝐀𝐋𝐎𝐂𝐇𝐍𝐈𝐀: SERVAOS. —— @prnced ❛❛ regicide isn’t on my list of preferred crimes. ❜❜
❛ there was a time you may have wished it to be one of mine . ❜
an assassin she is not , yet intelligence officers are trained for all things , and in times of war - assassination is taught among all other skills . at one time , her superiors had been preparing attempts on the lives of the ottoman royals , and her training had been filled with lessons . poisoning through drink , touch , or even a kiss .
❛ charming to think how you’ve grown . ❜

mightyecho:
triumphends:
“I want to be here.” But what else does she do except cower, give into habit and fold herself away when the wolves’ jaws snap at the door’s threshold? Hilda’s urge to make something of herself — be the strength one relies upon, rather than that she often seeks — was all but forgotten. She longs to force apart the outer shell encasing her. Prise it open, no longer a pale chrysalis but another person altogether, one not afraid of the wink of knifeblade nor the savagery of girlhood she has already sensed the others’ wills tease out of her.
“And I—” A jagged breath draws in. “I no longer want to be scared.” She bites forcefully on her lower lip, as if it will pacify the tremors in the clenched fists by her side. Despite the burn of tears kept at bay, Hilda’s gaze slowly lifts to meet Tavra’s eyes first, then Genya’s, brows knit together in determination. She feigns her bravery, but it is all she can offer them for now. “Let me prove I am not a coward.”
—— @mightyecho .
a protective instinct rises in her throat and she has to force it back down with an almost painful swallow— she would do hilda no favors in genya’s eyes if she continued to step between the two of them. “we need her here,” she reminds genya with a look, “your ears may pick up every pinprick of noise in this place but hilda can open doors we can’t— can earn trust of those we can’t.” her powers, her status as a lady- even a minor one- was an asset to their little trio; it was just getting hilda past the hump of being so scared.
hilda’s wide, shining eyes meet hers and without realizing, the lines around her eyes and mouth soften; “we’re all scared.” dark eyes turned to look at genya as if daring her to argue before turning her attention back to hilda, “this isn’t a game we’re playing at— but you’re no coward. if you were, you would have not only run long ago but would’ve squealed to save your own hide.”
✧ — — @remmbrance
genya : @triumphends + @mightyecho
❝ fine . but don’t allow yourself to lose step , hilda . i will not pick up your slack - nor will tavra . ❞ genya bites out , offering the only acceptance she can - and watching their bonds tighten once more . it’s more than they likely expect of her - for she is not one for softening their words when it comes to their mission . it has never been their specialty , they are harsh edges and as they listen to tavra’s heard for signs for falsehoods , genya nods when their eyes meet .
❝ i believe we could find some success , but there can be no guessing . we must be sure before we make each move . . ❞
#genya w her fam : kind#genya w anyone else : ur dumb#𝐆𝐄𝐍𝐘𝐀. ❝ as swirling tumbling grains of hourglass sand . ❞ dialogues.#pls ignore how late this is
