@agoldenlily liked for a starter!

"Excuse me ma'am, I do not mean to intrude." Wendy told the woman, hands fidgting nerviously. She was trying to remain calm fo she seemed to be far away from home, but she didn't really know for sure, "Could you possibly be able to tell me where I am?" She asks.

@agoldenlily "I know what you're trying to say but your eyes got really big and intense when you got a glimpse into that safe. Why? Are you surprised I have what I say I have? Or did you just not expect me to have it on hand?....Or have you been waiting to see it?"

he can tell what she's doing. she's playing a little game here, isn't she? testing him here. she's leading the conversation. maybe he had been a little obvious. and that wasn't good. but he was starting to get anxious about this whole arrangement. he was starting to want to back out. he wasn't sure what it was that was pulling him out. was it her? sometimes he found himself a little strung up over her. thinking of her soft voice, her bright eyes, all those sun colored curls falling around her face, her sweet eager mouth. he shakes his head. it would do him no good just then if he kept thinking about her. he knew that. he would do something stupid - and he had.

it was only a few more weeks. and then the plan would finally fall into place. then he wouldn't have to see her anymore. and that was what he wanted. ruin for her family? it seemed such a heavy and cruel thing. something twisted and ugly. he feels so heavy he can't seem to swallow down whatever was running through his head. he just looks at her a moment before he lets out a small laugh.

did she trust him still? just a look wouldn't give away what was planned. and it wasn't even against her. maybe he could tell her. after everything he had heard about her father would it really be so bad? and her husband, too? none of this would be so bad. and yet - she had trusted him. was that guilt? he didn't like the feeling. it got so ugly and heavy when it wrapped itself around him. he does his best to shake it off. he had spent a long time talking himself into this plan. so why just eject himself now?

"i've just never seen anything like that." he says with a small shake of his head. "never knew someone could have so much, you know." and it sounds real, doesn't it? like he actually means it.

SHE CALLED THEM BANDITS, BUT MERCENARY was the better term for them or bounty hunter. Violet adjusted her jaw slightly so she appeared more relaxed and not so surprised. "Because most people would rather fill their pockets than help." The Empire was evil in that way.

"Your steps are still unsure Elayne; you know this dance well, so you are either holding yourself back for some reason or you just don't feel like dancing today." Dylan stands back and relaxes out of his dancing posture and into his every day one "What troubles you, my friend? You don't have to talk about it if you do not wish too but it might make you feel better, and I give you my word that it will not go any further than this room." He cocks an eyebrow at her then extends his hand to her "I'll even shake on it if that would make you feel any better."

Giselle actually being away from her books and outside was a rarity. But here the Court Mage was… Caught staring just a little too long at Emperor Draven sparring with his guardsmen in the courtyard below instead of reading the book in her hands. And just now realizing she had company… One of the visiting royals from a far off realm.

“Ehem…” She quickly changed her focus to the guest beside her. “Your Majesty. Do you need something?”

Rapunzel was not used to anyone but Mother Gothel knowing where her tower was. She'd heard a noise and had stuck her head out the window and let out a gasp of surprise before pulling back quickly the charms in her hair tinking. Whoever this girl was couldn't get up without her so she'd just have to hope she hadn't been spotted. Mother Gothel would be quite upset about it.

It had been a long day in the studio, in the time since he'd settled on land and opened his studio, he'd began doing annual gallery shows to free up space for more paintings. He didn't need the money himself due to his family wealth, so instead he undersold his paintings and the money went to orphanages, animal shelters, medical facilities that worked with the less fortunate and elderly care homes, just like he did with any money he made from painting people who wanted portraits done. But being physically disabled himself it was hard to be on his feet this much, he had sold most of the paintings and was looking forward to finishing for the day so he could rest.

He was taking a breather as the day was winding down, leaning against a wall, using his cane to take weight off his leg as much as possible, not many knew he was missing a leg as he kept his prosthetic hidden in public. "Papa, a new lady came in," a small voice spoke up from the snack table, his daughter was happily eating the treats, unlike Kid her prosthetic arm was on full display, it was state of the art and clearly he'd spend good money on the seven year old.

"Welcome," he moved from the wall to greet his new guest, she was certainly in there for the first time as he was sure he would recognise someone so, beautiful. "I don't believe I've seen you before, I'm Karol and this is Sophia," he said glancing over to his daughter briefly as he made his way to the new woman, limping as he walked with his cane, family ring shining on his cane hand, Sophia had the family symbol integrated into her prosthetic arm.

Drakken wasn’t one to wander very far from Yharnam, having been raised from a small child and grown to adulthood within the town. But as of late, he did feel a sort of wanderlust growing within his very soul. The Hunt had grown quiet, leaving Drakken restless. Surely, other places might be in need of his skills as a Hunter might be needed elsewhere.

And so, he packed his few belongings and provisions that he might need, heading out onto the road.

After a few days and nights of sleeping out in the open under the stars, the Hunter was greatly in want of a roof over his head and a comfortable bed. Eventually, he came to a sign, on it written the name of a place that he had never heard of. Following that direction, after some time, he espied the outline of a city on the horizon. People became more frequent to see on the path, giving the Hunter a second curious glance as he passed by.

Locating an inn, the Hunter went in, eager for some warm food in his belly. There was quite a loud crowd within, and he found himself a table in a far corner to rest his feet. Once he was brought a drink and something to eat, the Hunter let his gaze wander.

"technically--" hand quickly falls, stopping the growth spell in its tracks, freezing the roots from maturing further as the cat breathes in, head turned towards the other with a raising brow. "it's hemlock, not wild carrot, so eating this wouldn't do quite well for anyone."

🌸  ┊ meme letter received from @agoldenlily         𝑬𝒍𝒂𝒚𝒏𝒆 𝑻𝒓𝒂𝒌𝒂𝒏𝒅 : “   well   . . .   nothing lasts forever ,   you know ??   ”

          mulan knew her words to be true, though she could not deny that there were times she wish it were not. but life was ever changing, the seasons coming and going with each passing day was physical proof of this notion. time itself had changed her for she was not always a warrior, but instead once a girl who simply wanted somewhere to belong. life on a poor farm had not been easy, and duty always weighed heavily on her shoulder, but she could never have predicted the change of her fate until it was far to late to do anything about it.

          she never could have imagined this life, nor stealing her fathers armor and taking his place within war. but when the decision came to choose whether to save his life or to stay behind and loose him ━━ she knew what she must do. now, two years later she was a war hero to her people, a phoenix who was born to protect others. yet there were times where the darkness of her mind took over, and she more like a monster then the hero they sung her to be.

          many still could not understand her decision to leave the emperors service, especially since she had become a well known general within his command. but her time in both her training and missions had tainted her spirit in a way she could not begin to describe. it had changed her ━━ made her see the worst of herself and wonder if she could be more then what she had been given. her last mission in her service had left a bitter taste upon her tongue, and so with a heavy heart she had left her homeland and found herself changed once more as she entered upon new soil and a land different then her own.

          pangs of loneness still consumed her, especially at how she saw the treatment of others and felt helpless in doing anything to stop it. there were moments in which she stepped in to try, and though she had saved some, she still felt lost in what she was supposed to do with her life and where she belonged.

        ❝  i know this to be true,  ❞    she whispered softly, her fingers curled around a small tea glass, with the scent of jasmine lingering in the air. her dark brown eyes were fixated upon the circular motion of the steam rising from the glass, a sigh escaping her lips as she knew there was no sense in denying the truth behind the redheads question,    ❝  it does not make it any easier, does it ?  ❞

          lifting her gaze slowly, she gave the girl a small but sad smile,     ❝  but though we cannot stop the future, we can still live within the present and hope that those we spend it can be that someone we cherish.  ❞    shifting ever so slightly, she removed the cup from her hand in favor of moving to rest her chin within her palm.

        ❝  though we have only known each other for a short while, i have come to enjoy spending time with you  ━━ and it may be none of my business, and perhaps i have misunderstood the undertones spoken in your question, but i can hear it in your tone that you are worrying about loosing someone or perhaps have already lost them... do you wish to talk about it ? ❞

@agoldenlily asked : "You're acting like none of this means anything! It actually does mean something and you should start understanding that. Just because you don't respect the past doesn't mean that other people, like me, don't. Because I do. This is my life and if you ruin it then I don't think that I'll forgive you."

she's going off on him about something again. it's the fact that he's not giving her a little something that he had found. and why should he? she seemed to think that she knew everything. she had her nose so high in the air that she was always looking down at him. so what good was something that he found to her anyways? what did it matter that it was exactly like the thing she had been talking about the other day. a key to a box that she owned. and in it was meant to be some other clue to whatever secrets this bloody city was hiding. did he believe that? well, elayne read all the books and said that it had to be true. but he hardly thought it was. and if it was it didn't really interest him. unless that ancient secret was a whole lot of gold or something. he couldn't be bothered to care.

she's real angry now. of course she is. woman liked to take one thing and blow it up so big that you could never see the end of it. and she didn't even know that he had the key strung along a chain around his neck. funny that, she would be livid if he were to tell her that. and he would eventually. but for now he'd let her rant like she was doing about the importance of history. he wasn't even really listening to what she said. not exactly. she looks good today, well, she looked good every day. that made her even more frustrating. she was startlingly beautiful and whenever she leaned forward to say something her neckline dipped. distracting. how was he supposed to focus on that and whatever cruelty she imagined he was doing to her?

he lets out a heavy breath as he sits back, holding his arms behind his head. he stretched out his legs and rests them on the table in front of him. "look, if you want the key, just ask." he says with a smile. "you don't need to go off on me like that." he waits for her to react. but before she can he holds up his hand, purposely shushing her just to get her all riled up again. "i don't think my nonchalance will ruin your life, sweetheart. just ask for it nicely."

continued from ( xxx ) @agoldenlily & @caracarnn

they were making the whole thing more frustrating. if they left things up to her and elayne she was sure that they would come a lot more further in this situation. they might even be out of here if they had been. but they kept making them stall, making things more difficult than they had to be. she lets out a heavy breath, easing only when elayne addresses her.

from where she's standing she eyes mat cauthon's neck bruises. they look bad. but he's survived, that's what mattered. he survived. so she thinks he's in the clear. there's no reason to linger or fuss over it. but elayne seems to think that she has to.

"he looks fine." she says, a little dismissive. she looks around the place, alert. then she turns to look at them again. "but maybe you shouldn't waste your energy." her eyes go back to rand al'thor this time, as if challenging him to protest to any of this in any way. he better now. it would only end up being exhausting.

❛ No one will harm you. I won't allow it. ❜ - @ delphini from @agoldenlily <3

"I know, Elayne." The softest of admissions, one rarely heard from The Augurey. But before she had been given a lofty position by her father, Delphini already had Elayne as a friend. She was the only one who was there not for glory or power or riches, but because they were friends.

And so, the same protection was given to Elayne, and everyone knew it.

The young witch smiled and slid the plate of sugary cakes closer. "You're the only person I fully trust. No one will harm you as long as I'm around."
