(( Meanwhile, if the Vanderbilts have decided to leave scarring behind, it’s for a reason.
Bellanda knows why they refuse to replace her eye, why they refuse to lessen the scarring over her face. She’s known it for years. She knows why she looks different, and what game has been played here. That’s fine. She has an agenda too, she’s just being more subtle about it.

@cleaverbilt said: "A word, Dahlia. Now." Her tone is heavy. Severe. This is not the visit of a friend.
Oh, this. She supposes should’ve been expected this. It’s so jarring, hearing a voice she’d grown so endeared to, one she’s gotten used to hearing only as cordial at worst and exciting at best, suddenly turn it’s fangs upon her... if only figuratively.
She doesn’t feel hurt by it, of course- understanding why she’d turn so cold in the heat of something like this all too well, fierce & protective as they both are. It’s a natural reaction, and she wouldn’t hold it against her... but, neither would she waver in the warrior royal’s presence. Respectful, but unafraid.
“... alright.” A simple agreement, Dahlia taking a glance about to make sure they were in true privacy before returning her gaze downward. “Speak your peace while you can, then.
From what I’m told, you’ll have to return to your kingdom soon. I wouldn’t want to waste any of the scarce time you still have.”

@cleaverbilt said: "A word, if you would, dear Prince." Wuh oh-looks like someone got word of a courtship.
*•.¸♥ ∞ Oh? It’s one of Miranda’s siblings. The meeting was a little unexpected perhaps; he was only focused on one of the Vanderbilts. He really didn’t expect to see any of her family until marriage, alliance meetings, peace treaty signing, or declaration of war. Whichever came first.
“ Yes, Lady Vanderbilt? ” Said with a raised brow and a smile always. This was informal but he won’t miss a beat. “ I think it’s a little early we meeting like this. ”
Well maybe he had a smidget of an idea of why she’s here.

@cleaverbilt replied to your post: “Why is everyone talking about biting? Should I be...”
:)))
Pulls their arms closer to them. Slowly starts to back away. “Ummm... You know what? Never mind. You guys just do you. I’m gonna be WAY over here.”

“Of all the sentences that I would be ashamed to hear read in court.” - cleaverbilt
“Well that certainly implies you’ve heard much worse, or much better.”
Ah yes, another royal to make friends with, another Vanderbilt to meet. Work was going to be thrilled with Milo, but it was Miranda’s older sister, how could they not? Besides, this was all about making connections; Miranda and Milo were friends, thus it was only fair to extend the same pleasantries to Bellanda.
Even if their first real conversation seemed to be about old trials and the terrible fates within them.
“You have me curious! I’ve heard plenty in my existence, especially in Egyptian Judgement Trials... you’d think Anubis would never be capable of disappointment.”

|| @cleaverbilt Cont. from Here
“Of course we did! Where is the point in cursing at the Police if they can’t fucking hear it? Never seen so many kids getting their asses busted, and now all the cops have memes made of them on the internet. I also got to blow up a cop car, it was a good night for me.”

* // ANTI-PERSONALITY PROMPT
Tagged By: @royalreef, @cleaverbilt, @best-wolf-boi Tagging: Anyone who hasn’t done it yet!
FRESH
Humour is one way to deal with things. By keeping yourself at arms length you do a good job of engaging without becoming another victim. Satire is powerful, use it to full effect and you will be pleased with the outcome—but remember that some things require a serious approach.
AWARE
You understand the problem. You see the cracks in reality and you want to crawl into them. You see things that other people don’t notice. You are well positioned to make a change in this world. Use your potential to make a real difference. Your anger is a gift.
STATIC
You need to find a way to move forwards, otherwise you will never change. There are too many desires that you are keeping locked away. The world around you is closing in and you need to push back. Remember what you wanted and make it happen. It is never too late. You are more powerful than you think.

@cleaverbilt inquired: ☕ Character Café - Accepting
OBTAINED: An Octopus’ Garden
► It’s an acquired taste. Bitter and sharp as shark’s teeth, stinging at your throat and nose, tart and unpalatable to anyone who isn’t used to it. But you are. You know it well — from childhood you were handed it again and again, anytime you needed comfort or something warm. You know to flavor it with blood, a favorite among merfolk, predator as you are, and you know how to make it exactly to your liking. It’s in your favorite cup, and you know you can always rely on it when the world is harsh and you must bear the weight of generations. But today, you feel sick even looking at it. ► You refuse to drink it.

@cleaverbilt said: “Your stance is all wrong.”
Sparring & Training- Accepting!
“... is it really? I heard that a lot back in Hell...” She answered after a moment of reexamining herself; she knew it wasn’t an unfounded sentiment, as she never really thought about such things in the midst of a fight, having not been trained to. She knew how to properly handle a weapon’s weight and keep her footing steadied, of course, but anything more than that was hardly considered, either by her or the society she came from. They’d never learned to.
Even in their time fighting in the ownership of high demons, they were never properly trained- former keepers having put full faith into their physical dominance and ferocity. Not that that’s where their battle prowess truly comes from, of course; if they were the undisciplined brutes that the royals of hell painted them as, they wouldn’t have conquered half of hell so handily.
Centuries worth of being bred for war, reshaping not only their species but their very essence, has made their natural instincts for battle honed enough to make up for any formal disadvantage they might face. Hence why she’d never heeded any such criticism before, as it always came from some haughty general or petty king who she’d make a show of utterly dismantling in single combat.
... Bell wasn’t any such pompous fool, though. Dahlia knew that. So, she gladly turned to face her with an excited grin, all too willing & eager to learn.
“Alright, shoot! How can I improve?”

“Oh my. Don’t people know that I’m the only one who gets their head lovingly removed from their body by Bellanda?”
Still. It is a little concerning. They should probably go check on her. Whatever it was, there was definitely bad blood there, and maybe a little TLC was in order. Plus, she did enjoy using them as a chewtoy, so that might help!

The Shrie-Ryie has multiple names, depending upon which language it is translated into. But, ever since its inception, every name has translated back into one noun, also used for one specific animal : the Crown o’ Thorns Starfish. Looking at it’s array of spikes, purposefully angled in every direction, it’s easy to understand why.
Not designed for offensive work, it is a common piece of armor for guardsmen or warriors to wear, some even electing to wear it on a daily basis. The spikes, while still capable of fearful impalement, are best understood as a deterrent to prevent other merfolk from grabbing at the limb with their jaws. No matter how strong the crushing power or sharp the teeth, the mouth is still a sensitive part of the body, and trying to do so with such heavy metal could easily result in impalement into the most delicate parts of the sinus, throat, eyes, skull, and brain.
Merfolk do not tend to favor any one arm over the other, and lighter fighters or those who more infrequently see combat share this trait. However, through the course of heavy weapons training, recruits will often develop greater muscle strength on one arm over the other, particularly in the use of two-handed weaponry. This arm bears the most of their weapon’s weight, and is the one they use most often with whatever their preferred armament is, and the removal of it can often mean the loss of most of that particular warrior’s use in a battle. Thus, that arm becomes an easy target for anyone who wishes to maim their opponents and make the fight easier for themselves.
The Shrie-Ryie then, prevents the targeting of their preferred arm. The heavy metal plates are lined with spikes to keep martial fighters from crushing or grabbing, and the extra plate along the front of the fin along the strut of the bone will similarly stop any attacker from grabbing it in attempt to dislocate the joints. Thick straps on the underside and across the back and shoulders are resistant to crushing, stabbing, cutting, blunt force, and most other means to attempt to remove the armor from behind. Cushions below the plates and along the straps keep the comfort of the wearer in mind, and sometimes an undershirt might also be constructed, to similarly prevent anything from stabbing through the main body to get to the shoulder joint.
Those who see regular combat, or are particularly worried about being caught off-guard, can often be seen wearing their Shrie-Ryie as a part of their daily wear, and some can grow rather peculiar about never removing it from their person.
Yg’lloze’aa’s Champion Warlord is no exception. ( @cleaverbilt )
