QUESTION TIME. i work in customer service and say 'have a good day!' entirely too many times in a day, but i feel like there's a cut off time for saying that. like i'm not going to say 'have a good day!' at 10pm obviously, it's night. my question is, what's the latest reasonable time in the day to say 'have a good day'?

Drabblecember Day 1 - Cold Weather

pairing: The Horned King x Selena Finley

word count: 883

summary: An old, desolate castle ruin during the winter months is mainly one thing - cold. Especially if you're just a regular mortal human, but the Horned King has his own way of offering Selena a little help with this particular struggle.

tags: pre-relationship, fluff, the Horned King has no clue how to flirt, and don't assume Selena does either

author's note: I haven't fully planned out the circumstances/bigger picture in which the story between the Horned King and my s/i is set, but the first prompt gave me an idea that I just couldn't refuse to write. In this story, Selena lives in his castle and has kind of a servant/assistant role. I want to make a proper Black Cauldron s/i and introduce her with some more background information soon, but for now just imagine Selena's PotC variant with a medieval dress instead I guess. Also I don't know why it's always him who gets me to write, somehow he's just giving me such an easy time with it (not that I'm complaining in the slightest).

Selena shivered and wrapped her arms around herself in an attempt to hold off the cold as she walked down the empty hallway, a book pressed to her chest. It became more noticeable with every passing day that winter was approaching Prydain, and the region wasn’t known for being the gentlest towards its inhabitants to begin with.

Living in an old, crumbling castle, that was seemingly more suited for skeletons rather than for people made from living flesh and blood, didn’t particularly help either. The wind was getting in through numerous cracks in the walls everywhere, howling eerily through halls and corridors and – that was certainly the worse thing – bringing in the cold from the outside.

Selena rubbed her upper arms as she kept walking, careful though not to let the book slip from her hold as she pressed it close to her body. The soft echoes of her steps were the only sounds she could hear as she stepped over a small puddle filled with muddy water. The constant moisture especially in the lower levels of the castle was another issue that didn’t make living here exactly more comfortable.

Luckily it wasn’t everywhere as bad as in this particular corridor, in fact, this was one of the more decayed ones, and there were still many rooms left that provided a more tolerable atmosphere. When she finally reached the end, Selena followed the stairs upwards, and further upwards, until she reached a heavy wooden door. She lifted her hand and knocked softly, before opening it slowly after a few moments. Her eyes darted around the rather dimly lit room, before finally landing on a tall, dark figure.

“I have the book, your majesty. Just as you asked.”

The Horned King slowly turned around upon the sound of her voice. He began to approach her in steady, measured steps, and Selena tilted her head back lightly as he towered over her.

“Very good.” He held out his right hand, and she quickly handed the book over to him, her fingers brushing over the leather binding as she let go of it. The king walked over to his throne – or rather what seemed to be a smaller, slightly less intimidating version thereof, which he had here in his private chambers – but before he could take a seat, his gaze fell onto Selena again.

“You’re feeling cold.” It was more of a statement than a question. After a few seconds, Selena nodded.

“Yes, a little. It is getting colder these days, after all.” Her fingers had involuntarily started to fiddle around with the sleeve of her dress. Although it was made from wool and held off the cold enough so she wouldn’t freeze completely, it couldn’t keep up against the wind and constant exposure to low temperatures. It was sufficient to get by, but still far from a comfortable warmth.

“Come here.” The Horned King’s raspy, hollow voice brought Selena back from her thoughts. He beckoned her over to him with a gesture of his hand, and she tentatively made a few steps closer to his throne, until she was standing right in front of him. Even though he was sitting, she didn’t have to look down, he was still on eye level with her, at least.

Selena didn’t know what the king’s intention was, when his bony hand suddenly reached up to the brooch that held his fur stole in place. He stood up as he slipped it off his shoulders, and instead wrapped it around Selena’s back in one smooth motion. His hands carefully put the brooch back into place and closed it above her chest.

“This will keep you warm.”

It took Selena a moment to process what just happened before she could respond. She looked up to the Horned King – the fact that the distance between them was so small right now made their height difference even more obvious –, trying to get a glance at his face. His seemingly empty eye sockets showed no emotion, but there was a tinge of gentleness in his voice.

“I … thank you, your majesty. I appreciate that greatly.” She carefully let her hand run over the fur. The centuries of wearing had made it lose its former shine, and at first glance she couldn’t even determine from which animal it originated. But it still felt soft and, what was even more important, warm.

The Horned King nodded his head lightly. “Now go.” At last, he turned his attention to the book that she had brought him, which had been waiting on the armrest of his seat. For Selena it was the sign that her work here was done for now, and she bowed her head one last time before stepping back and leaving the king’s chambers, closing the door behind her. She didn’t know if it was merely her imagination or the fur stole was actually that effective, but she was starting to feel a pleasant warmth from within, and the memory of him wrapping it around her shoulders in such a careful way was still lingering in her mind. It was safe to assume that the Horned King would want to have his garment back eventually, but at least for today it seemed that Selena wouldn’t have to worry about the cold anymore.

Hey, guys!

Some info regarding the Best EoA song poll. I pick up two winners from each poll (because the contest lasts longer in this case and I think it makes it more fun) and since some polls have several “silver medalists”, I’ve decided to arrange extra rounds to determine the ones that go further.

I’ll post the first part of the extra round today, as usually at 9PM (UTC +3), so keep your eye on it, since I make them last only for 24 hours!

Let the fun continue!
