Happy Birthday

Nadia Satrinava (8th July)

The Arcana

[iridescent-solstice]

The chilly breeze engulfed you in a gentle hug. Yesterday it was suffocating . . . but today, it's comforting.

Or maybee . . . it's the warm laughter that surrounds you which makes your chest feel warm and fuzzy. It's countes- I mean Nadia's birthday today. You got roped into the private celebration by Julian's insistence that his clumsy hands just can't be trusted with his nasty snot pot made specifically for her. At first you protested, there is no way he can't handle such an important task. He purposely asked you and not Portia. What a bother huh . . . Maybe it's because he knew you weren't doing so well lately, or maybe he really is that bad at keeping his balance.

But truth be told seeing joy spark onto the faces of your new close friends around you is enough. Enough for you to be happy that you tagged along. It's not often that time pauses in such a manner. Pauses and takes your breath away

With the moonlight glimmering through the trees and beaming on you, the picnic cloth littered with all sorts of trinkets, and then the people that so generously included you tonight. You can't help but feel glad to be here. Asra's cute dimple smile that he just can't help but flash, Julian's embarrassed face as he fumbles yet another knock knock joke and then . . . Nadia. The esteemed countess that has stolen your heart it seems. Her marron eyes filled to the brim with immense happiness, her laughter that rings out through the air, cutting away all your doubts and insecurities about the future. You admire her. Her and all her skills. Her and all the ways she shines even despite the flashy and colourful city of Versuvia. Almost like it's her city more than count Lucio. She's the one that truly deserves the title of ruler in your eyes.

This moment is more than enough to get you through a lifetime of misery. Enough to give you the strength to keep going. And Nadia's eyes falling onto you before she offers you a cup of blooming tea, her favourite, is all you need to raise your mood higher than it's been this past week. High enough to reach the heavenly sky though i'm sure a night spent with her would be even better.

This is very underbaked imo. I wanted to do something more with this, but it just never ended up happening . . . i'll do better next time

The lovely Countess has graced us with another year and we would be remiss not to celebrate ~

Incorrect tea quote because I can;

Julian: which one of you were going to tell me tea tastes differently if you put it in hot water?

Nadia: you’re putting it in cold water?

Portia: awnser the question, Julian!

Julian: Yeah, I thought for like since I've knowen Asra, that people put it in hot water to speed up the 'tea-fication' process, didn't realize their was an actual reason

Portia: you don't have the patients to microwave water for three minutes?

Nadia: why are you putting it in the microwave to boil it?

Portia: do you think I have the patients to boil water on a stove?!

Nadia: it takes less than a minute!!!

Portia: Is your stovetop powered by the fucking sun?!?

Nadia: how long does it take you to boil water on the stove?!?!

Portia: like seven minutes!!!

Nadia: just stick the mug ontop of the stove on medium heat and it boils in like two minutes. Less than that when you use a saucepan

Portia: you putting the whole mug on the stove?!? On medium heat?!? Your stove is enchanted

Mc: already zoning out*

Asra: DO NONE OF YOU OWN A FUCKING KETTLE?!?!?!

Can you draw something that makes you happiest? Just anything that makes you very very happy? Even if you think others will hate it? That is my request.

Not something others would hate lmao

I really like watching how the sky changes as the earth rotates, it’s beautiful. And sitting with my cat, her name is Nadia <3

The flowers are starting to bloom here for spring, the lil’ blue ones and the daffodils. The tiny pink ones are cute too

Smaller things tend to make me happier, I think ////^•^////

[lunelicmoone]

thinking about asra and the magic compass he has rn

[proustianlesbian]

now, there is only one month until then..

below the cut, three other versions i didn't know which one to choose.

funfact : i had a list of characters and if i didn't add saira and remembered fleabag, i had pearl (from pearl) and eva heinemann (monster) to fill in the gaps :'). i also tried at first to organise the images the same way i had in my head but realised there were some kind of harmony between the characters (facing right, left or center, smoking/bad relationship with mom diagonals, daughter of a ceo/revolutionary center, being bloody...). i wish the colors were a bit more blue/cold in claudia's space but it's fine 💙.

happy birthday Nadia

[clannfearrunt]

Tomorrow (tonight?) is the 6th anniversary of my Agent 32 dream I had in 2018 that established several starting idears for Cam, Lily, and also Nadia existing! Very exciting I can’t believe how far they’ve all come. Nothing else of significance is happening tomorrow

Nadia's Birthday

~ it's July 8, so here's how you might celebrate Nadia's birthday with her! Enjoy ^.^ ~

You would love to say that the morning of Nadia's birthday was calm and relaxing, but truthfully, you can't remember the last time the palace was this busy

She is the Countess of Vesuvia, after all, so it's only natural that the entire town would be involved in celebrating her birthday as grandly as possible

Not to mention the Prakran royal family - it's their first opportunity to celebrate her after years of no contact and they can't resist

Which is why you're woken up by her waking up, when a bell she's programmed to go off at a specific time alerts her to the beginning of her hectic royal birthday

Thankfully, you planned in advance for a light and energizing breakfast to be brought to her chambers so she can have a few moments of peace with you before getting thrown into chaos

It's a small surprise, but it's successful and deeply appreciated

Her eyebrows will raise and her mouth will drop open a little, and then she'll sink back into her cushions and allow you to wheel the tray of food closer to the massive bed to eat together

She will insist on having you sit next to her so she can feed you

Reclining back in the cool, smooth sheets, admiring the fresh face above you while she dotes on you before having to take on the cares of the day

Even on a day about her, she finds the greatest joy in caring for you

She's tempted to delay her duties just a little longer to stay in bed with you, but Chandra appears at her window to remind of her of the time

Insists that you take your time to get ready for the day, placing one last tender kiss between your eyebrows before dressing and heading out to oversee the planning of her own birthday party

Thankfully, her sisters have all arrived in the previous week and are hard at work helping her out and lightening her load

Meanwhile, you take advantage of her busyness to find the sisters and staff members not currently working with to her to finalize your own plans

Nadia knows that you've requested the week after her birthday to remain free for you to schedule her time as you please, but she has no idea what sort of vacation you have planned for her

She's been trying to guess for some time now - borrowing Asra's house in Nopal? An in-town vacation at your old shop, wearing disguises every day and pretending to be common folk?

Don't tell her, you got access to the Papess of Firent? That territory is impossible to visit!

You spend the morning completing your own preparations, finalizing travel times, packing your bags, packing her bags (with Portia's help), coordinating teleportation with Asra -

- listing all of Julian's suggestions for things to do at the seaside while remaining as un-sunburned and hydrated as possible, asking the sisters for pointers on how to behave in a vacation palace -

- are you allowed to use it like a normal home, just bigger? Or does the "no running and sliding in socks down the halls" rule still apply? You really, really hope it doesn't

You finally catch up with Nadia again at lunch, where she's sitting down for the first time in hours and getting a moment to catch her breath

She already looks a little tired and socially drained, so you check in with her sisters and Portia to cover the two of you for an hour while she gets a quick nap before the late night of partying

She's surprisingly open to your suggestion of a quick rest. Until you realize that she's had the same idea too, and that she's steering you towards her private bath and not her chambers ...

If you protest she'll simply explain that she's picking up where she left off this morning, before Chandra (the responsible darling) so rudely interrupted her

The next hour and a half pass so smoothly you almost forget about all the duties waiting for both of you until you finally make it back to her rooms and find your outfits laid out for the evening

And of course, she's coordinated your ensemble with hers perfectly. Arcana forbid you appear at her celebration poorly dressed

The afternoon passes in a flurry of activity. You're busy playing a support role as the Countess's partner, and a planning role as the court's official magician. The Palace doors are opening before you have time to blink

The party isn't anything like the Masquerade - while Nadia still had to go out mid-morning to officially invite all of Vesuvia to her party, the celebrations are only expected to last one night

It's a little quieter too. There's dancing and music and incredible food and wonderful entertainment, but none of it reaches the wild fever-pitch that you've come to associate with Palace events

Nadia, ever-graceful, doesn't expect you to remain in the center of activity with her, but she appreciates it when you do

She keeps you on her arm as the two of you stroll through the lit up gardens and hallways together, stopping between guests to glance at you from the corner of her eye with a loving smile before moving on

She'll also open the dancing with you, as is tradition at this point. She looks at you like she's the most fortunate woman in the world to have you for a partner in front of the whole town, but you feel like it's just as true in the opposite direction

You know it's time to start putting your own plan in action when she starts giving signals that she's about to retire to her chambers (sometime around one in the morning)

She doesn't want to seem rude or ungrateful, but she's noticed a distinct lack of presents from you and her family and close friends, and she couldn't help wondering what had happened

She starts to get an idea of it when you take her hand at the foot of the stairs, leading her away from her chambers and towards the garden maze, where Asra is waiting next to the fountain

"MC, my darling, can it be that you are about to reveal your mysterious plans to me? Consider me deeply intrigued."

Portia, Nasmira, and Natiqa have already ferried your bags and a massive pile of birthday presents through to your destination, and all that remains now is to pass through the water yourselves

The two of you join hands and sink into into the water, you savoring another glimpse of the curiosity sparkling in Nadia's eyes before you rise up out of the waves of the Sea of Persephia

The moon is well on its journey across the sky, but Nadia needs no help to figure out where she is: the sparkling water, the quiet private beach, and her family's Sea Palace sitting in the distance

You know that she often used to retreat here as a child to escape the summer heat, and now it's lying empty and inviting for the two of you to spend a week doing nothing but enjoy each other

She has her shoes in one hand and your fingers woven in the other, gazing softly in awe at the gift of rest and peace you've given her

And then she slowly, sweetly, sleepily leads you up the sand, into a week of playful mornings and drowsy afternoons and delightful evenings and wondrous nights
