While the small kitchen in his quarters was perfectly functional, the lack of tea - his own fault, really - drove him to venture out into the main kitchen to see what he could find. Rohir was simply going to grab a bag or two and head back to his quarters, but when he saw her sitting alone, he... couldn't help but offer his company.

He was pleasantly surprised she accepted his offer, though quickly realized he... actually didn't know her name. She was new - that much he knew - but... he hadn't quite had the chance to be introduced properly to everyone at the compound. A shame, really, but it would happen in time. For now, he was content trying to... trying to reconnect with his sister and former mentor.

Gods, he wished he could remember more about them.

But Eclipsis shoved those thoughts aside as he offered a kind smile - the corners of his eyes crinkling. "'Tis quite alright, miss," he assured. "I can understand your technology well enough to boil some water." Amusement danced in his eyes, though who was he to refuse her help? He could hear the guilt in her hoarse voice, and his heart went out to her. It would be nice to have the company, if he were being honest, and he simply kept his smile as he limped into the kitchen. "But I will gladly take your help on deciding on what tea to make."

"Ah, a few things," he admitted. "The usual aches and pains, 'm afraid, and the unfamiliarity of it all. Still a strange place, this compound, thougn not... terrible." Sterile, perhaps. Void of personality and warmth in some areas. His quarters were... one of those areas. The bed was comfortable and he had what he needed (aside from tea, that is), but it made him nervous. It was far too quiet for his liking. It gave him too much time with his own thoughts and broken mind to make him feel even a tad bit at ease. But those were things he needn't bother her with - not when it was clear she was struggling with her own issues as it was.

Rohir glanced back to her as she mentioned Ivalice, and he nodded. "Aye, I am. Name's Rohir." He paused - a twinge in his chest that caused his brow to crease slightly. "Or Eclipsis. Both are all the same, really, but I am Ashe's brother." Was he still her brother even if it didn't feel right to call himself that anymore? Gods, in his heart he knew Ashelia as kin, yet... she almost felt more of a known stranger than his own sister.

His mind was distracted as his companion mentioned her own homeland, and sympathy filled Eclipsis' expression. Sokovia was yet another place he didn't recognize, but he knew better than to ask. It was clear she didn't want to talk about it, and he was not one to pry into painful matters. She was displaced just as he was - she deserved the same kindness he wished to receive. "I am sorry," Rohir said softly. "If... if there is anything I can do, you are welcome to tell me." Was that too much to offer to someone he barely just met? He wasn't certain, but... it felt right to offer, at least, and it would be something he wouldn't push, either.

"If I may, what keeps you up?" he asked as filled the kettle before he returned it to the stovetop. He eyed it hesitantly as he set it down, and cautiously turned on one of the burners - looking rather pleased with himself as the one he hoped was right lit aglow. "And, my apologies, but 'm afriand I haven't caught your name yet."

🏠 😢👯‍♀️ for Faramir, 🕎🎭👗 for Éowyn, 🍕🎻 for Aragorn and Arwen, ⌛️👨‍👩‍👦‍👦👀 for Boromir!

Sorry this took so long to answer! I was doing it while I was POMO-cleaning my front room lol

Faramir:

🏡 House — I like and can appreciate the fanon take that once he’s the steward he’s very protective over, like, having quiet space in his study or whatever, but pursuant to my insistence that he’s a Big Fan Of Kids, I think he’s actually very happy to have kiddos/people in with him while he’s working, so his study in MT + Emyn Arnen ends up being more of like a Quiet Family Room or whatever.

😢 Emotions — King Of Bottling His Emotions Up! Absolutely no emotional output from this man until the literal apocalypse, which is why Sam and Frodo get subjected to….. whatever That was, and why Éowyn gets the full song and dance in the HoH. Outside those very two fun, exciting cataclysmic moments? Nothing gets out.

👯‍♀️ Friendship — I used to know this guy who would go around asking people he met a million and one questions, questions that I usually thought were absurdly invasive, but every single time, without fail, people ADORED him for it, and even though I’d stand around cringing, he and whoever he was talking to would be having a whale of a time. That’s what I think Faramir’s like.

Éowyn:

🕎 Holiday — She stops being especially interested in Mettarë/Yule during The Gríma Years™ and it’s not until years later, when she has kids and they’re reasonably old that she gets back into the ~spirit of the season~.

🎭 Hobby — She gets really into playing cards and is an absolutely merciless and shameless cheat. She’s not even particular good at cheating she just sort of dares anyone to complain and half the time they don’t.

👗 Fashion — In line with the Scandi-influence for the Rohirrim, I think Éowyn tends to dress quite understatedly, I don’t think she’s necessarily a huge fan of lots of embroidery or detail work, but when she gets to Gondor the one thing she really embraces are the Greco-Roman style girdles that (I imagine) are very popular there. This is most because they end up being super practical for her because unlike the Scandi/Rohir ones they’ve got more loops around her waist for her to hang stuff from lol

Aragorn:

🍕 Food — He eats how everyone expects Faramir to eat, which is to say that he’s extraordinarily picky. I imagine that he’s almost-but-not-quite a vegetarian and super fussy about eating rules.

🎻 Music — He’s really not picky about music, however. He’s more into the ~idea~ of music and music making than anything else so pretty much all music works for him.

Arwen:

🍕 Food — Arwen is actually a vegetarian but is one of those vegetarians who won’t actually say anything about it in advance so as not to inconvenience anyone and ends up just, like, picking around the side dishes all evening trying to not let anyone notice.

🎻 Music — She, unlike her husband, has a lot of very intense opinions about music, and she, Faramir, and Lothíriel end up forming this pretentious circle to pass judgement on whatever music’s on show. It’s good because there’s a lot of emphasis in the Reunited Kingdoms + Rohan on musical education and patronising the arts, but dreadfully boring for the people who don’t Care as much as they do.

Boromir:

⌛️ AU — I mean I permanently live in my Borodred AU because I’m a hopeless simp, so I guess that’s it. In super strict canonverse I HC him as hardline ace, but when I let the strictness slip he and Théodred are shagging. Always.

👩‍👩‍👧 Childhood — Very much the perfect child in a lot of ways. Is this mostly because he was traumatised by the death of his mother and very irrationally took it upon himself to Raise His Brother even if he didn’t necessarily have to? Yes. Is that evidence of the type of perfect child he was? Also yes.

👀 Personality — I think he’s got an unshakeable calmness to him, and what we see at the Council of Elrond is a product of him having an incredibly shit day compounded by everyone deciding to gang up and shit on his people, like, less than half a year after they took a massive L to defend all of M-E.

Matters Of the Heart | closed reply

@tarnishedxknight - continued from here

There had been no hesitation to give Ashelia his undivided attention when she asked to speak with him. Rohir (Eclipsis? both names felt as right as they did wrong) wanted nothing more than to make up for the years spent away from his little sister, and what better way for him to do so than to help her with matters of the heart? He could no longer help her in saving their kingdom. He could no longer help her regain her throne. But, this... this would have to be enough.

He simply hadn't expected to hear who had his sister's affection.

"Basch?" he echoed as he sat up in surprise. "You-- Really?" Eclipsis blinked, though his brow furrowed slightly in thought before he hesitated and gave a slow nod. "Well... I reckon I won't have to worry about how he'll treat you." But... should he be surprised by this? Was this yet another thing he couldn't remember? He felt a pang in his heart at the thought, but pushed it aside. Although he had long since accepted his broken memory, it still hurt to know there was so much he would never regain.

Instead, Rohir's gaze softened when Ashelia's confidence cracked, and he offered a reassuring smile in response. "'Course I will, Ashe, but worry not. I'm certain it will go just fine." It mattered not that he was unsure how Basch felt about his sister - if there was one thing he was confident about, it was the fact Basch would not hurt her, even if he did not share her affection. "Is... is that somethin' you wanted to do today?"
