💌- A memory about an important event in my muse's life

The Keeper had gotten a request for several different concoctions - nothing out of the ordinary, really.. But, she knew better. Facial expressions told her stories.. intentions..

Everything.

She pinned the client as the type to take all sorts of jobs; The mercenary type. He certainly looked the part. After all, he was tall, towering over her.. -- And certain fit for the part with the muscle tone she could make out. 

She went about her work while the Seeker wandered about, occasional clinking of glassware causing Vale’s ears to flicker. 

Without even looking up, the wisp-like voice resounded throughout the room, addressing the man whose company she currently kept. 

“You’re not here solely for these.. That much is evident.”

A pause washed over her for no more than a brief moment before she continued, “The way your eyes interrogate the room, as if you’re searching for something.. more. The hesitation in your step.. Akin to one listening for loose flooring..” 

An amused snicker escaped her while continuing to work. “What you may have heard, and mayhap.. What you seek will not reveal themselves to you so easily.  Do you take me for some common alchemist, mmn?”  

Finally, he paused. A look of curiosity evident among his face. She saw it as clear as day out of the corner of her eye. “Tell me.. Surely you have memories.. Ones of important events.”

Without hesitation, the Keeper cut him off, “You’re looking at it, dear. One important event that has come into my life was this here. The skill our people honed in, and such.. The rest of the world wishes for a glimpse of it.” She put emphasis on speaking about her people. Maybe she’d recognised him. Or was it coincidence? She couldn’t tell exactly. 

The Keeper finished the remedies that had been asked of her, sliding them over. “Consider them a gift.”

✍️ Pass my muse a note

She was observant, extremely so - at that. Eyes always darting about to take in her very surroundings. It was more of a habit, than anything. Out of the corner of her eye, the Keeper saw it. Someone in the very corner of the room who’d chosen to keep their identity under lock and key, no distinguishing marks to identify them by, either. Vale followed their gaze, craning her head painfully slowly until they fell upon their mark - a fox-like woman.. 

A pause came to pass for no more than a brief moment, retrieving a small piece of parchment - no more than a ripped corner. Quickly, she wrote upon it, what looked like lazy scribbles with just how she did it – However, the final product being penmanship of extreme elegance.

Raising to her feet, she moved carefully; precisely. As to not raise any attention to herself. Approaching the woman, Vale pretended to know her, wrapping an arm over her shoulder as she passed the note: 

“In the corner, dear.” She murmured in no more than a hushed whisper. “You need not worry, however.” She added.

“Go about just as you were.” 

With that, the Keeper returned back to her prior seating, raising a single claw finger as to order another drink.

Kiss…in the rain. from @arabekaumikawa

Rainfall.

Something about it, drew her in.. She couldn’t ever quite place it. Mayhap it was the sound it made as it fell upon rooftops; That idle clattering.

No.. It was more than that, wasn’t it?

It was the smell of rain; it had that.. fresh atmosphere about it. It was earthly, yet almost a sweetness to it too..

At first, it had only been a light drizzle. The droplets falling upon her skin - it was a soothing sensation.

But, when it rained, it poured. Didn’t it?

That light rainfall turned to a downpour faster than one could blink an eye. Nature was unknown like that. Moody, even.

Even so, the Keeper didn’t mind in the slightest. She loved the rain. The smell. The taste.. The sound..

The touch.

She didn’t care that her clothing stuck to her, nor that her well-kept hair was turning into a tattered mop that cling to her like a babe did a mother. Drops trickled down her face, make-up ruined, and yet.. It didn’t matter in that moment. Nothing did.

Vale felt arms and hands alike placed themselves upon her, normally she would spin to grip them; To rid of them. But these.. they were different. Gentle, acknowledging. A strangers hands, no less.. But they traversed her like a lover would. It was bewitching. She didn’t turn, not yet.. A curiosity had sprung, and she, wished to see it into motion firstly.

The hands belonged to what looked to be a miqo’te woman, a Seeker.. At least that is what a first glance had come to show.. Pausing, a second look came to be out of the corner of her eye once more. A mix? Not necessarily a rarity.. But still quite amusing to the Keeper.

Finally, the woman turned to face that unknown stranger. Mismatched eyes looking upon them. It intrigued her. That one would not run for the cover of shelter amidst the torrent of water that fell from the heavens; but rather, stay in her company.

A kiss.

It was unprovoked. Mysterious. Though, something about it was.. welcome.

The woman before her planted a kiss to her very own cheek, holding herself there for what felt like eternity, when in reality - it had been. As quickly as it happened, the woman ran off, without a word.

❃ = dancing with them. (Dance with cat mom :3c)

Music [X]

She chooses the dance. The Seeker leads. 

It’s delightfully slow. Elegant, and ever graceful. Fingers are laced betwixt each other. The Keeper extending out to a twirl, only to be brought back in. 

The two showed striking similarities to a ying, and a yang when together. She, with snowy hair and tanned skin.. And another - Raven hair, with ashen-like skin. Their hands are warm in the entwined embrace. 

Fine silks drape over their figures. The Seeker, lighter hues.. Whereas the Keeper, that of a deepened ruby. Each compliments their figure perfectly. Brilliant golden bracelets, and jeweled rings litter their wrists and slender fingers. Both were certainly, well off. 

They move with the music, those watching it like it’s a hypnotic trance. Perhaps it is. Or simply could be just how mesmerizing their hips moved in sways. 

They pause. One of Tola’s hands resting upon Vale’s backside, the other holding a hand up over head. The Keeper.. She allows a smirk to curl along vermilion lips. She’s more passionate, sensual even.. Her partner, sweet. Like honey. She moves in amidst their pause, twisting her wrist ever slightly to gain control, placing a quick kiss to the Seeker’s cheek - an imprint of lipstick being left behind in its stead. Another, to the neck. A low rumbling purr escapes her in her possessive movements. 

Allowing herself to be led once more, mismatched eyes look to the sun cat’s own; Sheer devilish mischief clear upon sunset eyes. She knew the reaction that would be produced.. 

They continue their spell-like dance. Vale adding to it with the weave of fingers as they rested on a shoulder. Colours illuminate around them. Bits of aether in which dissipate and return back to which they came. More and more people stop to watch, watch as they take the centre of attention. 

Everyone is quiet, watching.. And waiting. 

Another extension, another twirl of the Keeper, her hair whipping around her. 

Oohs and Aahs are produced. 

The song starts to reach its finality.. Slowing and fading. With it, so too, does their dance. As it reaches a climax, the two show off one last pose - holding it as music stops all together. Applause ripples throughout. Heaving breaths exchanged from each miqo’te woman only to let out a sigh of content. 

((aaa @sagolii-snowflake ♥♥)

Do they have tattoos or piercings? Describe ( or share an image ) and tell us what inspired the body modifications.

The Keeper let out a snicker at such an inquiry, “Well. I was wondering when someone was to ask.. I hope you don’t mind a little.. skin.” 

At that, an almost childish giggle erupted into the air, the Keeper disappearing into another room - however, pausing in the doorway and giving a little shimmy of her hips before doing so.

When she returned, Vale wore hardly anything to cover herself. No more than a simplistic cloth covered her chest; Showing at least /some/ modesty, considering the miqo’te woman before her had an other half. 

Vale returned to where she’d sat, crossing one leg over another. “Now, where were we, hmmn?” 

“-- Ah yes, body modification. That’s right..” 

The Keeper gave a fanged grin, only to let her tongue poke out as she opened her maw, a sterling barbell piercing among her tongue. Once satisfied that a good inspection was shown, Vale shut her mouth once more. “.. As for the inspiration for that one specifically..”

A sigh escaped, shaking her head. “.. Well.. It’s a secret.. Though, I’m sure you have some sort of idea.. given your status..” 

“Onto the next, mmn?” She mused, not wasting any time to linger on the previous statement. 

Vale turned herself around in her seating, so that her back was facing her guest, unwrapping the cloth so that a full view could be given. Across the majority of her back, in dark ink. - Pitch. Lotus-like, with jewelry hanging beneath the bloom. It had an extreme intricacy about it. “Now, this. This one has a story that I could tell for suns.. So I will have such a thing for another time. Just know that it is precious to me.” She mentioned, looking over her shoulder.

“Lastly, some that litter my hands.” She shrugged.

((Thanks you two♥ @vayduh & @the-lunar-mistress)

cracking. knuckles. it’s such a bad habit, but i do it all the time, and it makes people go “wtf” when they hear them crack in voice x3

Thanks for the ask~ @unkemptandtired

"I didn’t get much sleep last night."

Ears flickered as each word greeted her eardrums. She sat with her back to where the voice had come from, a hand curled around a jeweled pipe in which she idly took drags from. Drawn out inhales, followed by exhales that were equally lengthy. The Keeper’s head canted slightly as to look over her shoulder to the woman who those words belonged to. 

“No?” She began, shifting her position entirely - now able to peer more thoroughly without straining her neck. A free hand slid through well-kept fur of a tail that coiled itself in her lap. 

“You’re troubled.” She stated, taking another inhale from the pipe in hand. Eyes promptly closed as she gathered her thoughts.

A hum escaped her lips, beckoning to the Raen to come closer with a singular clawed finger, “Come. Sit.” 

On command, of course, Jade came closer - sitting right on beside Vale.. Two tails wrapped themselves around the woman’s waist nearly immediately thereafter. It was one of many things she did to those who were close to her. 

“Unclench your jaw, firstly, relax your shoulders, too.” She began once more, “You needn’t hang on to that.. weight; It will only further your worries.” 

Another inhale.

“As amusing as it is to me, you tend to rest more easier in my company. Perhaps its the warmth…”

“.. Mayhap the comfort the tails bring.” She shrugged nonchalantly, “I know not.” 

Sunset eyes fixed themselves upon the auri woman, a invasive stare produced - one that looked to pierce one’s very soul. “You carry weights of a past. But you cannot. In order to move forward, one mustn’t look back. To escape, one must cut their bonds.. Unhinge their shackles.. And simply.. Walk.” 

The Keeper placed her pipe beside her, moving to wrap an arm tightly around the woman in its stead, moving her more tightly against her own warmth. “I’ll let you in on a secret but you must.. listen.” 

Jade tilted her head to the side at this, awaiting more of an explanation. There was none. The Keeper spoke true to her truths, and halves.. Their riddles, too. 

Vale saw the look that was one of curiosity, turn to one of confusion. “You don’t understand, mm?”

The miqo once again repeated herself, “I tell you. /Listen./”

“I can conjure up a remedy to help you sleep, should you wish it.” She added, “Though, it’s only a temporary fix. You need to consult yourself - and your demons.”

A pause washed over her, her hand moving to usher the woman to lay down among her lap, “For now.. Sleep..” The words much more wispy than her prior ones. The three tails moved to hug around Jade, while a hand run through her hair. “After all.. You’ve a path to take, without rest.. That path will wither.”

((Have some word vomit. Thank you dear♥ @weaveroftruth)

💭 "I wonder...how about me?"

"Hmmn.. My thoughts on you?" She ponders such a thing being brought to her attention with the utmost care. A devilish smirk curling across full lips, all while a single hand moves to cup her chin. Nails trimmed in gold tap at her cheek. Each movement causing the jewelry littered wrists and fingers to rattle among the room.

"You my dear, are much like myself." She continued, "You know what you like. You know what you want, and how to get it.." At this, the Keeper gave a sly wink. Tails swished idly behind her; Each massive fluffed length swaying to and fro as she spoke.

"You'd do anything to fulfill those desires of yours."

A pause.

"You'll also tease and tempt. Only just enough to have one wanting more. I've seen it. Almost suited enough for my very own title. -- Not quite, however.~" Vale teased as she finished the thought.

((thanks dear @the-lunar-mistress)

[clouded-vxle]

"I'm going to hug you the next time I see you."

“Oh? Someone in need of affection, perhaps?” She teased, only slightly. 

“Either way.. Do feel free.”

🌧️- favorite thing to do on rainy days?

“Rainy days...” She began. a hum escaping her as she arose a particular scenario in her mind. 

“Well, my dear. That solely depends..” The Keeper added, snickering quietly to herself while she looked to that moment in her head. 

It was raining heavily. The crackling of a fire filled the room. Vale herself, lay lounging among a couch before it. And another rested beside her, curled up tightly against her with their head on the Keeper’s chest. 

“.. Should I have company, then it’s a simple one.. Enjoying the warmth of each other, while listening to that rainfall pour down against rooftops..” 

A brief pause washed over her before the miqo continued, “Now, should I be alone.. Likely some form of work.. Be it research.. Or perhaps the creation of some concoctions that have been requested of me.. Mayhaps even lazy lounging.. Or sleep. Rain is beautiful.. There are many things I find myself wishing to do when it falls from the heavens.”

((Thanks for the ask :3 @brytedarklyt)

[clouded-vxle]

Really pretty, but kind of a scary lady. I wonder if she would want to be friends? maybe she's not so scary once you get to know her!

“Scary, darling?” She snickered, clearly amused at that. “Only when I wish to be.. Truly, I’m harmless.~”

[clouded-vxle]

What sorts of people draw them?

A hesitation for but a moment. Surely at the sudden inquiry. “The people I’m drawn to, mmn dear?”

A fanged grin formed across her face, “Well.. Those who can use their mind, and use it well.. Intellectuals, some would say.. But me? No, no. For me it’s merely the ability to use such a tool, I care not for your smarts, for the most part.. -- I know this is not what you mean, but I’m much more drawn to women; Not only for their looks, of course.. But they’re more.. lax. They know what they want and what they don’t. They speak their troubles, when they wish to.”

“I’m drawn to people who .. Have certain desires they wish to make true.”

“Plot:” + Vale and Qih'wo have a business deal together. She makes him potions, he buys them. Turns out he using these concoctions to keep someone under his thumb, blackmailing this person the supply will run out if he doesn't do as told. That poor sod happened to be Louis and he seemed to be needing what your OC is brewing. Vale has a choice: losing a really important customer by helping Louis or ignoring all of it because it's not of her business. What she will do?

send “Plot:” + describe something you really want to RP with my muse

fuck no || not really interested || huh?? || give me more details… || sure why not || HELL YES

I love this. Gib.

[clouded-vxle]

Plot + Your lady unexpectedly runs into a thavnairian merchant fleet owner in Ul'dah, and recognizes him from the ports of radz-at-han on a night he'd returned from the city proper without clothes on.

send “Plot:” + describe something you really want to RP with my muse

fuck no || not really interested || huh?? || give me more details… || sure why not || HELL YES

Absolutely. Vale would have a good snicker from that, for sure. Teasing would probably ensue. 

[clouded-vxle]

Kiss + 15

15. …because you missed them.

It wasn’t expected. But accepted nonetheless. A kiss to the cheek as she pulled the woman in for a hug; one akin to that a mother would, their child. Vale arched a brow, curiously peering to the woman with mismatched eyes. No inquiry was needed. The look upon her face told it all.

She was missed.

A smirk curled along vermilion lips, pulling Seina in tighter. “Miss me, did you? You only need to come find me, you know.”

(Thanks qt @seinakurokiba)

[clouded-vxle]

“The sun isn’t rising anytime soon, you know.”

The sentiment amused her, lofting a brow to the raen as ears flicked upon each and every word greeting them. The trio of tails flicked back and forth behind her as she sat. Pausing.

Pausing to let a light snicker escape her lush lips before she gave a retort. 

“My dear, my kind /thrives/ where the sun does not reach. This does not phase me in this slightest..” A singular claw-like finger extended to point to her eyes - the mismatched orbs – Though especially to her pupils and how they were shaped. Ones that would evidently do well in even the dark of night.

“However.. I’d assume you desire to make your leave elsewhere, mmn? Considering that remark, that is.”
