I'm curious about Jilor 👀

Send me a ship name and get some tea!

Oho time for coming to conclusions in real time!

Jilor - Jia & Lora

(probably should have been Jilora but. oh well)

This one's interesting because Lora, Spinder's youngest adoptive sister, has existed since Old Canon and honestly had a decently large part in Spinder & Georg, and Jia I just invented because I was changing Lora's family and I didn't want to use her Old Canon husband. He's a little bit based on someone I know IRL in terms of personality (laid-back), but honestly I haven't decided on a lot about him. He is a good dad though, and I think in the future he and Lora will achieve the three kids they had in Old Canon, where they were a lot older (everyone was because weird faery aging). But being married to Lora puts him in an intriguing position: Lora is the hub of the Pastearn family, the one who kept in touch with Michael when he moved several localities afield, the only member of the family who is allowed to know where Gwin is at any given time, who keeps track of Megan's model trains and Mick's extracurriculars and Corcra's TV appearances and Spinder's flight schedules and Nieram's home improvement projects. Jia cannot remember all of this and has stopped trying. His main contribution to her family connection activities (aside from obviously going to family gatherings and stuff like that) is to make sure that there's plenty of time where he's actively spending time of their baby daughter Ayna so that Lora can be doing video calls &c. Now that I say this actually I think he does commission/contract work, so he's at home a lot of the time. Still not sure what Lora does though, aside from being everyone's favorite sibling.

"Sorry, I didn't think I'd spook you that much by sitting down... didn't think Nephilim were the jumpy sort."

At a Cafe

Jia yawns, stretching out his limbs as he read over the same text about warlocks for the hundredth time and cracked his neck. He wanted to get away from the Institute for a while for a change of scenery but the little cafe down the road just seemed to make him even more tired. He didn't notice someone sit across from them until he heard the thud of their cup hitting the table. "Oh crap. Sorry, I wasn't paying attention."

"You would be right," she began before loosing the arrow towards the target, "with any other bow."

"Try it, it's a bit fiddly." She held it out to him in offering.

"Good form but level your elbow out some, it'll help."

Excuse me, but how cute is that. ❤

I wish the whole drama had been more like this, instead of wasting way too many episodes on a boring story arc and absolutely unnecessary misunderstandings. =/

Because these characters have a lot of potential and I just adore their friendship. Give me more of that!

"Only if you don't ask me to waltz. I think I would die of boredom."

"You look nice tonight, Scarlett. Will you save me a dance later? " Jia asks.

he  never  wanted  her  to  discover  his  secret,  knowing  that  her  reaction  would  be  difficult  to  handle.  he  doesn't  blame  her  —  it's  not  her  fault.  after  all,  who  would  remain  calm  upon  uncovering  their  lover's  destructive  vice?  uncertain  how  to  respond,  he  shrugs  and  admits,  "maybe  both."  despite  his  lively  persona  at  work  and  in  his  private  life,  there  are  darker  aspects  of  himself  that  he  prefers  to  keep  hidden  from  the  world.  these  are  his  wounds  to  bear,  not  hers.  “you  were  never  meant  to  find  out."

AH. She knew her brother - once, long ago, they were friends. His tragic end was just that - a tragedy, but it left his sister with a bitter hatred towards the dragons. Yanyan didn't see the point in it. Does the kitchen staff fear & hate the knife, or scribes burn the paper which gives them a light cut? Do soldiers despise swords or people weilding them?

But, one's tradegy is not a matter to discuss. She understood her rage & her pain, perhaps better than most.

Their once-shared connection is what softened Yanyan's expression & she offered lady Jia a gentler smile than the one previously gracing her lips.

"A fortunate thing, then. It has been a while since I've encountered you, lady Jia. I hope you have been faring well?"

jia suppresses the urge to roll her eyes. dragons this, dragons that. it was no secret that she had little love for the aerial beasts -- having lost so many family members to the flight. the bond between dragon and rider rubbed on her nerves, the fire forged connection that meaning that all their conversations were monitored by the oversized lizards.

if a dog mauled their owner to their own end, even the most loyal of animal lovers would think to put him down. and yet, jia was the anomaly. she was the cruel one. it was as if their legislation stated that it was blasphemous to dislike dragons. if she had any sway in the court, she would put a muzzle on the damned beasts. it was of much benefit that dragons could only read their rider's minds or else she might be burnt to a crisp.

"pardon me," jia murmurs in excuse, sliding into her seat. admittedly, not thrilled at her neighbour but subtle in his distate. "looks like i'm coming to the party late as well. fear not, i am hardly big on idle conversation."

jia knew yanyan in a sense, which is why the were likely sat together for their meal, but she was always more of a friend of her late brother. he was the braver of the two of them, placing the riders in closer proximity. the architect of the seating plan clearly put some thought into their design, but still was coming up short.
