Just a little milk chocolate makes your teeth hurt? Should we take you to a dentist..? @askyaad

No, I'm fine.

[askmarcille]

I have been looking into magic a bit lately for remedies with my unique er, living situation (in addition to being afraid of turning into dust, being a teenager living in your grandfather's vessel is odd. I know I said I was fine with it at the time, and that we had no time to heal me but sometimes....)

I came across something about homonculi, and I learned that fairies are a type of homonculi- but when I looked to see how to make one all the pages were ripped out. Would you know why miss Marcille? One would be quite useful in the castle don't you think?

(ooc so happy the ask box is open again ^^)

@askyaad

We're not making homunculi. Here's why we don't. I'll gladly pay for your therapy after this.

ooc: happy to have the askbox back open!!

Hello. I don't suppose you have non alcoholic beverages? Or lighter ones at least? Or just general advice at this point...

@askyaad

"Practically raised my kids in this building- I'd be a shameful father if I didn't have something more than water for them to drink." Even still, he'd be lying if he said that he was kind of at a loss for what to give this guy. It's a little difficult to get a read on him.

Still, after some humming and haaing, a glass containing a dark liquid is placed in front of Yaad. "Dandelion and Burdock. 4 gold. If you like it and you're feeling adventurous later, there's an alcoholic variant that's got my approval."

"General advice will cost you extra though, and I can't guarantee the advice you get will be sound. Romance advice is right out. If that's all fine by you, hand over the coin and start yapping."

[ask-utayaboy]

The prince looks to his pupil sadly. "I say you talked to an anon about alternate occupation.... if you want to leave your position... I can take over." Yaad wears his signature peaceful smile, but one can easily tell he doesn't want Kabru to leave the castle. The company and new friendship is nice. That said, he would never force someone to stay somewhere when they wished to leave. He learned how something like that felt very early on in his life.

@askyaad

Yaad !! I'm . . really sorry if I gave the impression that I wanted to leave my position — I enjoy it!!

That was just a hypothetical. They asked me what I would do if not for being advisor — so I thought something up. I'm not thinking about quitting, I honestly think Laios might crumble under pressure otherwise no offense to him

[ask-holm]

Hello Mr Holm,

I had been wondering if you could tell me about about the husbandry of undines? I have read about them in our libraries, and I've heard they can sometimes make good pets. I never really did get to meet many being stuck in the castle for so long. I tried to ask Thistle about them a couple times, but that never did go well. In fact, I doubt he really even heard me.

@askyaad 🧅

Well Of course, I'd be happy to.

(Ooc: I don't actually know alot about undines so this may be a kinda of wrong)

In the original fairytale, undines were said to be nymphs who's live were likely to be shorten if married. This is because if the man was unfaithful to her than she would die off. Undines are almost invariably depicted as being female, which makes sense because in Greece water is depicted as being a female element. And although I don't know alot about breeding them, I've heard that if a human and an undine have a child together that the child will have something called a "water mark", due to the human and spirits soul merging together. Also, I've raised Marillier since she was a water droplet so I would not suggest trying to catch a wild one for a pet.

[ask-walking-mushroom]

Hello 🤗

I have been told that Thistle has been co-parenting you with a young lady named Puckpatti.

As odd as this sounds, I suppose in a way that makes us cousins? 😂🙀

@askyaad 🧅

I suppose it does!

[realcourtjester]

No- Uh, no acid. More a regurgitation thing... I think I'm not used to eating again yet. That's all.

But now all my food from dinner is all over the floor by my bed...

Bursts into your room in the middle of the night. He's breathing heavily. He calms down.

I threw up

Stares at you uncomfortably

I- {The prince sighs, blinking away sleep.} Okay- sit down. Tell me, did you rinse your mouth? the acid is bad for your teeth- what happened up until now? Did you eat something that had gone off? Did you have a nightmare?

@realcourtjester

[thehyena-evangeline]

hi I’m new on tumblr and you sorta look like an ask blog veteran of such so do you have any recommendations for blogs or people to interact with?

I am so not a ask blog veteran I've been doing this for a couple months at most, but here's a couple! (sorry for the @'s)

Hello, I heard my son made one of these, and it sounded like it may be fun to join. I haven't caught up with him in a while.... I hope he drops by to say hi. If Helki claims we are married then... please know that it is complicated... We did raise Kabru together.... 🫣OOC: Howdy! Mod is an adult, and I am fine with freaky questions so long as they don't become too much. Please be civil, things such as racism will be ignored. This blog will actually be helpful for my fic, so I am excited. Lets have some fun! I run a couple more of these, @askyaad being my favorite. I am trying to keep @helkirealofficial out of trouble... (Yes we are in kahoots)

[realcourtjester]

Marcille said we are supposed to throw short people this month... She said I should throw you? Should I throw you into pillows? That way It won't hurt. @askyaad

NO.

[askmarcille]

May I have a book about the surface world?

I wish to learn about it as much as possible for the day I pray I reach the surface

-shroomy

Shroomy, didn't you already get a spellbook?

[asksenshi]

It is nice to see you here too Mr Senshi. I was wondering about your opinion on something lighthearted and silly. I often times got told I look like an onion growing up- and I always took that as a compliment since onions are a beloved ingredient in many dishes... However... It has come to my attention that it might have been a teasing remark, or even an insult. So I was wondering, is it silly to take onion related comments as compliments? -@askyaad

Why, I don't think it's silly at all! The onion is a very versatile ingredient, you're right-- it's pungent flavor provides a fantastic kick to almost any meal you can think of, and its form requires careful tact to ensure a proper execution of what it has to offer. You must peel away excess layers that protect it from pests and other predators, and then you have to best the strong reaction your body may have to its defensive mechanisms! A formidable thing, an onion is.

If they meant to tease or insult ya by saying such a thing, then perhaps it's them who should feel silly. They just don't know what kind of plant they're dealing with, and trying to utilize it to make others feel bad is ridiculous! Your layered resolve is part of the reason why the people of the Golden Kingdom have been able to keep hope for as long as they have. If not for your assistance, we may have never gotten through the dungeon and found a way to save everyone from the lion that was tricking you all. You should be proud of your onion nature.

[ask-holm]

Wait- you can simply make one? I would like to learn how to make an undine as well. -@askyaad

Well, its not exactly simple. It's pretty complicated to be honest,And it took me a while to make Marillier. But I guess you could try.

[askmarcille]

Sure, he can be a knight. I'll see if we can get a little chest plate for him as well.

I could see you practicing more traditional fencing techniques to start off. Something simple so neither of you get severely hurt.

Hey laios how would you feel about teaching me and yaad how to wield swords for self defense and defending friends?

-shroomy

Hmm... It depends, really. First, what kind of swords are you talking about? There's all kinds of them, rapiers, longswords, greatswords, claymore's...

Then, your technique. What kind of fighting style? There's a lot that goes into these things, and each technique and style is different, it's a very hard skill to learn if you try to learn multiple at once.

Plus, it might be a small problem due to you not having arms, Shroomy. Maybe I could ask Marcille about you learning a basic levitating spell so you can use it to train...? Or maybe magic prosthetics? Hmmm...

[ask-walking-mushroom]

Shroomy, the lady with the tree in her hand said we can eat some mimics and chilchucks. I am hungry, do you know where to find some? @ask-lil-baby-chick

Tree in her hand?

Ohh probably marcille

Sure we can go eat some mimics but we can't eat chilchucks there's only like 3 left in the whole world!

I know a good few spots to catch some mimics

Just don't tell @realcourtjester or @askyaad

[realcourtjester]

{He comes in and gives his uncle a big hug, not entirely sure why. He just feels the little menace needs one}

@askyaad

Uhm...

stands there awkwardly for a moment, then slouches into the hug.
