A Splendid Day

Furina:*packing groceries* That’s everything. Thank you very much.

Merchant:The pleasure is all mine! You’re one of my best customers.

Furina:The price is still 500 mora for everything?

Merchant:On the house.

Furina:P-Pardon?

Merchant:Your birthday. It’s on the house, and I will accept nothing less!

Furina:But-

Merchant:It may not be a national holiday anymore and you may not be our Archon, but a little free macaroni and beverages is the least I’d like to offer. A birthday is still a birthday.

Furina:…*smiles* Thank you for the gift.

A little later, the national celebrity walks down the streets of her nation only to be stopped by the sight of a top hat floating down into her hands. She looks up to see Lyney, Lynette, and even Freminet sitting on the railing of bridge covered in the nation’s flowers in a pattern that spelled her name.

Lyney:HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Lynnette:*clapping*

Freminet:T-Ta Da….

Lyney:C’mon you two. A little more energy.

Furina:Hahaha! My, my, this is quite the shock. *red* How long have you been planning this?

Lynette:Your birthday is no secret. We had ample time.

Freminet:The hardest part was keeping them alive long enough to do this.

Lyney:Just our little way of showing our gratitude. We wouldve baked a cake, but I fear our skills our outmatched in that department.

Furina:All cake is good cake if it’s sweet enough. Who is outmatching your-

???:Haaaapppy Birthday!

Furina didn’t get the chance to turn around before Navia swooped her up into a bear hug, spinning her around lovingly while Clorinde and Sigewinne held a small present patiently.

Furina:Never mind Lyney!

Navia:*puts her down.* How’s the birthday girl!?

Furina:Startled, but pleasantly surprised.

Sigewinne:Perfect! Exactly how a birthday should be!

Clorinde:Happy Birthday, Lady Furina.

Furina:Hehe, wow. Everyone take the day off or something? I was expecting a little get together or gift. Honestly I’m a tad embarrassed.

Chiori:*struts in* Since when does the wonderful Furina de Fontaine prefer a “little” get together?

Furina:How long have I been retired from leadership?

Chiori:Pfft, please. In or out of power, you’re still the same person who demanded dozens of retakes for a film in the name of “producing a diamond among diamonds in the craft.”

Furina:And we won! I will never forsake the arts!

Sigewinne:And we will never forsake your wonderful efforts.

Her and Clorinde walked up and presented the box. Furina only had to undo the ribbon to reveal it to be a makeup box containing an array of colors and tools to use.

Sigewinne:I made every color!

Clorinde:I made the box.

Chiori:Now we stop by my store so you can feast on Navia’s pastries in style.

Furina:How many pastries?

Navia:Yes.

Furina:Fantastic.

xxxxxx

More than 500 birthdays, and this might be the first one filled with true joy. Eating cheesecake while wearing a lovely pale blue sundress with dark blue water droplets on the skirt and cuffs that matched the sun hat she was given. Her nails matched perfectly and her lipstick was admittedly a little ruined now because of danishes, but she didn’t care! Furina even smelled like fresh rain thanks to Emilie’s lovely new perfume she made with the help of resource gathering/testing from Chevreuse and Neuvillette.

Charlotte took a photo of the girl’s pure joy as she dined with friends.

Furina:!? Please tell me you didn’t take that mid bite?

Charlotte:Of course I did. You need moments to smile at.

Furina:Myself!?

Wriothesley:*pouring more tea* Gotta admit, I’m a little jealous I didn’t get this brand on my birthday.

Clorinde:You didn’t like the “gift” I gave you?

Wriothesley:Oh I loved it. Wouldn’t trade it for anything.

Navia:Don’t spoil good food with certain topics you too. This is a sweet gathering. Not saucy.

Furina:You all really outdid yourselves. I don’t know what to say aside from thank you.

Lynette: “You can have the last slice” is a second option.

Freminet:Ummm-

Lynette:It was a joke. I would never rob someone of that honor. The last of any dessert is always the best.

Furina:Would you like to split the-

Lynette:If you insist.

Furina cuts the last danish is half and shares, giggling alongside her friends at Lynette’s perky ears as she ate. The girl was swept in the laughter she hadn’t realized Neuvillette had finally joined them.

Neuvillette:Today seems like a wonderful day to be out.

Furina:Huh? Neuvillette!? You took off too!?

Neuvillette:Is that so strange. Half the day has gone by. I used it do enough work to give the rest of today to properly wish you a wonderful birthday. I’m happy to see others make that possible.

Furina:Yes, it’s really more than I ever hoped her. I’m serious when I say I don’t really know what to say. Frankly I-

Navia:Now don’t go saying “I don’t deserve it.”

Chevreuse:She’s right. Thank you is more than enough. Besides, everyone here would easily agree that you deserve nice things ten fold.

Furina:Sniffles You guys… don’t make me cry today!

Neuvillette:So*reveals jewelry box* this might be a bad time.

Furina:You have another gift for me!?

Neuvillette:I wouldn’t count pointing out a good source of water for your perfume as a my gift. I could do that any day of the week. This however, took quite a bit more time and a trip to the bottom of several bodies water.

Knowing Furina best, Neuvillette wrapped the gift in a way that allowed her to still open it with ruining the design. The young lady choked on her own breath when her eyes saw shining white pearls in the form of a necklace. Neuvillette took the jewelry and put it around her neck while everyone was stunned into silence.

Freminet:Those are- how did you find so many perfect pearls?

Neuvillette:I am no stranger to sea life or waiting.

Navia:And here I thought I gave the best present without a doubt.

Clorinde:It wasn’t a contest.

Lyney, Lynette, Chiori: No it kinda was. We went all out.

Furina:I’m just- these are so expensive looking! And beautiful! I might have to start revising my entire wardrobe to wear these more often.

Neuvillette:Hehe, I don’t mind if you limit their use to a special occasion like today or a grand opening of a play. I simply wanted to give you something only I could manage, like everyone else.

Wriothesley:All I did was supply a big enough kitchen for Navia. Now I’m starting to think I should’ve fought some ancient monster for gems alongside Clorinde.

Chevreuse:Umm, Clorinde? When you said you made the makeup box….

Clorinde:I used only the finest of materials. It just so happened the finest things may involve interacting with less than fine creatures.

Furina:You could buy a box! All of you are so…wonderfully ridiculous. Neuvillette, thank you for this. I love it. Today has truly been splendid. I couldn’t ask for anything more.

Charlotte:You’re welcome!

Emilie:Charlotte, what was your gift.

Charlotte:Who do you think made all the invites, planned the timing and picked the location? It’s a little past midday, the space isn’t crowded, and more importantly, Furina still hasn’t eaten a proper birthday cake!

Furina:Ooooo I still get one? Wonderful! Although…I’m admittedly a bit on the fence. *crosses arms* I can’t believe Aether bragged about his baking skills just to go off to Natlan before ever letting me get my own personal cake! Not to mention not a single birthday letter! He’s probably off breaking some law right about now or fighting an ancient evil he stumbled into.

???:That sounds more like you, than me. I’m actually careful.

???:Yeah! How else would be able to carry a packaged cake through the desert!?

Furina froze up, her heart skipping a beat after hearing two familiar voices call behind her. She slowly looked over her shoulder and saw familiar faces that made her ignore any on lookers as her body took off out of her seat without thinking; the girl was full on sprinting towards Aether so quickly that he had no choice but to hand over the three layered cake to Paimon before catching Furina, who jumped right into his arms. Thankfully Clorinde zipped over to help Paimon balance the final dessert, but frankly, everyone doubted Furina cared about the cake as her embrace around Aether grew tighter while he spun her.

Furina couldn’t care less about any pictures getting taken or the giggles from her friends at the moment. She was just happy to be held again, resting her face in the crook of his neck.

Aether:H-Hello. You look lovely. I take it you missed me?

Furina:Yes. Don’t you dare let go until I say so.

Aether:*red* O-Oh. I thought you were going to deny it.

Furina:Later, but for now…

She raised her head to see his dumb smile before giving Aether a heartfelt kiss. Clorinde leaned over awkwardly and pulled down Furina’s sun hat over the two in order to create any semblance of privacy.

Neuvillette:I think she forgot she’s in company.

Sigewinne:Well, I think Aether won.

Navia:If I had to lose, it’s an honor to go out like this.

Chiori:You actually lost to Charlotte. If she planned the spot alongside the timing with the invites…

The reporter held up a photo of birthday girl with a tearful smile getting spun around in the arms of her happiness smiling back at her as the warm light of the afternoon barely broke through around the vast colors of flower petals.

Charlotte:Like I said, you need moments to smile at.

you don't have to dance alone

Furina: ... and the Furina Award goes to...

Traveler: Whoa whoa, time out. Why is the award named after you?

Furina: Uh...

Paimon: You must've been a real piece of work during your Archon days to have an award named after you.

Furina: It's not like I was in charge of naming it!

Paimon: Uh huh...

Furina: Look, it's your award, do you want it or not?

Traveler: I just wanna apologize on behalf of my emergency food for her remarks.

Paimon: Hey!

Oc-tober day 23

Twilight

*

“Hey kiddo, watcha doing out here?”

Aerina looked up from where she was crouching on hands and knees in the dirt.

“Looking at bugs.”

“Oh, really?” Dai crouched down next to her. “What are they doing?”

“Just walking. Sometimes carrying stuff. I like blocking their path ‘cause it makes them all confused, but then they find a way around it.”

Dai observed the trail of ants, which went across or around several rocks, leaves and whatever other items his daughter had been able to find. On the ground not far from her lay a small notebook with a pencil, which she’d clearly forgotten about as it had dirt and leaves all over it.

He picked it up and brushed off some of the dirt. It was one of her school worksheets. At the top it was labelled “animals around my house”. Below that, it read “KITY”, but the rest of the page was empty.

“What’s this?” he asked, holding it up.

“My homework for tomorrow.”

“Shouldn’t you get started on that?”

“I will, in a minute.”

“It will be dark in a minute; it’s almost your bedtime. How about we fill it out together?”

She let out a long, dramatic sigh, as only a 5-year-old could, and pushed herself up from the ground.

“I guess the ants will have to survive without me,” she shrugged.

“I’m sure they’ll be fine,” he smiled. “That’s one more animal to put on the list.”

He handed her the booklet back. “ANTS” she scrawled on it – only the “N” was backwards.

“Now what other animals have you seen today?”

“There was a biiiiiiiig spider next to the door. But I acted like I didn’t see it, so it probably went away.”

“Maybe,” Dai nodded, pretending to understand this logic. “But we can still write it down.”

She scribbled some more, the tip of her tongue sticking out of her mouth.

“What else? Did you see any birds?”

She thought about this for a bit.

“Not today, but there were small birds when I put out bread that one time, and then a big crow showed up and took it aaaaaaall the way to the top of the tree!”

“I remember,” Dai smiled. “Then you put out more bread because you felt bad for them.”

“Because they were so small. It’s really hard to get what you want when you’re small.”

Dai was impressed by this little bit of wisdom while watching her write down “BURDS”, when she suddenly jumped up, pointing.

“Look, a bird!”

From the corner of his eye, Dai caught something fluttering through the air. A moment later he saw another, merely a silhouette against the twilight sky.

“It’s a little late for birds, but do you know what else likes to fly around, especially when it gets dark out?”

She thought for a moment.

“People think they’re a little spooky,” he hinted.

“Bats!”

“That’s right! They’re out hunting for tasty bugs.”

She added the bats to her list, while keeping an eye on the sky in case she’d miss any flying over.

“That should be enough for your homework, don’t you think?”

She nodded, then frowned as she realised this likely meant she had to go to bed.

“Can we watch the bats a little longer? Pleeeaaase?”

Dai sighed.

“Alright, then. But come here, it’s getting chilly.”

She snuggled up to him, occasionally pointing out a bat flying over, counting them. After twenty or so, he thought she was getting suspiciously quiet and realised she’d fallen asleep on his lap.

He picked her up and carried her inside, smiling to himself.

suddenly remembering how we used to write down conversations between our old host and their "ocs" (see: headmates) during school when we were super stressed out. hmm.

𝐈𝐍𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐄𝐑 𝐅𝐎𝐑 . . . aerina dagareon / @opulaences .

she had preened when she'd been given the assignment to show the princess aerina around the castle upon her initial arrival. any chance to serve her royal family was one she was more than happy to partake in , though this one held her interest for more personal reasons. she'd grown up reading stories of princesses in foreign lands that sought power and glory , or love and adventure. she'd read of them partaking in quests full of travel and excitement so much that she'd had a rather loose grasp on reality growing up. then aerina arrived , just like something out of a story , and jaide's curiosity could not be stifled. " are our gatherings terribly different to what you and your family have in pentos ? "

DAY 06 of @kiochisato ‘s event, a character with the first letter of your name（ a -> aerina ） &&. rb + credit if use

[opulaences]

aerina  took  in  the  sight  of  the  room  ,  taking  in  its  energy  as  if  it  was  essential  to  her  life  force  .  that  was  how  she  had  always  been  ,  preferring  to  be  in  a  corner  and  observing  the  world  around  her  .  the  last  thing  she  wanted  was  to  cause  any  sort  of  distress  or  commotion  should  her  illness  decide  to  catch  up  with  her  .  "  yes  ,  "  she  responded  a  little  frantically,  thinking  if  she  waited  a  split  second  more  the  prince  would  think  otherwise  .  the  essosi  caught  herself  and  smiled  to  hopefully  shake  off  the  abruptness  of  her  response  .  "  i  mean  ,  yes  .  yes  ,  i  am  quite  enjoying  myself  .  i  .  .  .  um  ,  "  she  paused  to  gather  her  thoughts  ,  "  ━━   was  unfortunately  cursed  with  two  left  feet  and  could  not  dance  even  if  my  life  depended  on  it  .  "  not  a  total  lie  .  aerina  was  never  a  dancer  but  she  knew  how  to  .  "  so  i  prefer  watching  everyone  instead  .  i  just  imagine  it  was  me  in  their  position  .  plus  ,  i  am  not  familiar  with  westerosi  dances  .  it  is   different  from  what  i  am  accustomed  to  .  "

        with  so  many  flocking  together,  the  ones who lingered at a distance ironically stood out. violet hues had passed over most, uninterested in conversing with the aging grand maester or a dull riverland lord, but had narrowed in on the essosi princess. curiosity arose that one of the newcomers hadn't immersed themself in the celebration. standing before her, a smile tugged at the corners of his mouth, not wide enough that it revealed his fangs but still reached his eyes. he clasped his hands behind his back.  ❝ my siblings and i make a good team. ❞   though he doubted his mother had felt pleased when she'd entered the room.  ❝ you speak of others but not yourself. are you enjoying yourself, princess? or is the reason you are standing here and not dancing is because something is amiss? ❞
