Oh yeah I’ve also learned a major difference between Yohei and Samatoki is that Yohei thinks it’s ok to cry.

[ Sweet Bun Trio ] - A selection of traditional Faerghus pastries, all small enough to be eaten in one delicious bite! The first bun is filled with sweet cream and topped with icing and a candied cherry. The second is a sweet roll filled with almonds, pecans, and dried cranberries and glazed with honey. The third is a bun sliced in half, filled with almond paste and whipped cream, dusted with powdered sugar on top.

"I hope this is in the Heron appetite," He expresses, offering forward a silver plate of delicacies -- he hadn't much the appetite for sweets or confections, but perhaps the jovial young Heron would. "I'm not too sure how different your meals are to mine, but I would imagine the feast of a dragon different than much that the Bird Tribe would consume."

He offers a smile, though it stays hidden behind his mask. "Consider this royal diplomacy, and ... a deep thank you. For everything."

"Oh!" Leanne turns towards the Dragon prince, the company, along with the sweet scent of the pastries, bringing a grin to her lips. Taking one of the trio offered, she bites into it with practiced care. The cream within bursts with delightful sweetness, and Leanne's wings fluff behind her in contentment. "It is... very good!" she chirps.

Thank you, he says, and she knows what he speaks of, the memory of deep pain that casts a somber tone to the tune of his heart, even as he smiles for her. She and Reyson might have helped Rajaion return to this form, but she knows the journey to recovery must be far from over. (Just like with Father.)

It is that thought that draws her to action. Leaning closer, the Heron princess takes her brooch, with the black feather adorning it, and fastens it to the Dragon's clothing. Whether the feather might hold the same significance, might bring forth the same feelings of trust and safety for him as it does for her, is not the most important thing. Leanne's smile turns gentler.

"Promise me you will find joy in this evening, Prince Rajaion?" she asks in the Ancient Tongue, and while she cannot be certain he would understand her words fully, the swirling of Seid Magic around them speaks of her well-wishes in a way that she hopes he can feel all the same.

You deserve all the happiness in the world.

The third is a bun sliced in half, filled with almond paste and whipped cream, dusted with powdered sugar on top.

"Reyson!" Leanne flutters over to her older brother, excitement visible in her body language as plainly as in her heart. In her hands she holds the remaining one of the three sweet buns Rajaion had given her; the first two were fulfilling enough, so she'd strategically saved the one that she feels Reyson would be most likely to enjoy. She hands it over now without a word of explanation about the pastry, instead keeping up a train of enthusiastic chatter.

"I can't believe beorc throw parties like this! Isn't it amazing?" she says, "I even heard there was something called the White Heron Cup last year, where they had a dance competition!"

Which is kind of silly, when she thinks about it — if it's named after them, shouldn't it be a singing competition instead? Maybe the silly beorc just don't know the difference!

"Oh, and look what they gave me," she looks down, taking up her brooch with the black feather and placing it against her brother's white wings to see the contrast, "It looks pretty cool, right? Here, you can have this one, and then you can try to collect all of them!" She wants her brother to have the most fun he possibly can tonight, after all!

he smiles delightedly at his sister as she comes by, eyes already on the delicious-looking snack she carries. he does not dare ask for it—if his dear sister's heart is as generous as he suspects, then she is here to share. if not, then that is her right as the youngest to keep it for herself.

oh, but it seems luck is on his side. he accepts the treat without a word and immediately takes a bite, pleased with the flavors.

"thank you. your generosity knows no bounds," he says, smiling brightly. he is in a good mood, which good music, food, and company are sure to give him. his mood is better still among family.

"these beorc have thrown an interesting party. i... admit, i didn't know what to expect. silly of them, though, to name a dance competition after herons. we're much better-known for our voices than our steps, but i can't blame them for being ignorant. i guess."

he takes the offered brooch as well, and passes her his own in return. the one bearing the small bell that he has is pinned carefully to her outfit. "i'll be collecting, then. take this in the meantime."

he pats her on the head. "are you having fun? meeting any new people?"

*whispers* can I have some Naesala/Leanne kid please and thank you

Meme II Accepting!

Name: Colette

Gender: Female

General appearance: A tall, thin girl with jet-black hair and wings. In laguz form, she's a black heron.

Personality: Sly and witty, able to tell lies with ease. Due to her heron lineage, she can read minds and sense others' emotions, which makes it all the more easier to deceive people. When she's not speaking honeyed words, she's mischievous and daring -- always ready to pull pranks and break rules.

Special talents: Music. Much like her Uncle Reyson, she's talented with the harp.

Who they like better: Leanne. Colette can easily persuade her mother into lessening her punishment whenever she gets in trouble. Naesala, however, can see her bullshit coming from a mile away and never lets her get away with it. (Or tries not to, anyway.)

Who they take after more: Naesala. She definitely inherited his talent for lies and deceit, but instead of repeatedly betraying the Laguz Alliance, she employs her talents for petty thefts and pranks.

Personal headcanon: She's well aware that her uncles (and even Tibarn) adore her, and she 100% abuses that to her advantage. If she wants a present for her birthday, and Naesala won't buy it for her? Oh, Uncle Reeeeeyson! Uncle Rafiel! (Insert puppy eyes here.)

Plot twist: when the heron-y ways of romance fail, Reyson starts trying to court the summoner the hawk way

I ALWAYS THOUGHT HAWK COURTING WOULD BE LIKE... BRINGING YOUR HONEY PREY UVE HUNTED... SO IM JUST IMAGINING TIBARN FUCKING... TRAINING REYSON IN THE ART OF HUNTING SO HE CAN IMPRESS YOU....

BIRD TRAINING MONTAGE WHERE TIBARN MAKES REYSON FLY REALLY FAST BACK AND FORTH 

[jasperlion]

Welcome to The Pirate Heron!

Come on in through our tent and have a refreshment or two before heading back out there in the sun to compete. Our tea is so friendly that even Herons can drink!

Our repurposed old war room tent has three tables, each with very resistant and wing-friendly chairs! They’re able to take a lot of weight, too — Skrimir and Mordecai tested! Charms have been put in place to chill the inside of the tent to feel like a gentle, Zofian Avistym (before Mila was sealed, anyway), so  you can get away from the heat for a little while and relax. At times, there might even be some musical ambiance!

Of course, our establishment has rules, and four fantastic bouncers [ @indumasname​ Celica | @insinnerate​ Laevatein | @phoenicishawkking​ Tibarn | @bigbluetiger​ Mordecai ]  to help us keep them respected.

Rules

Do not harass the guests or staff.

Only ask the main staff for tea, not our bouncers! That’s not their job!

Please patiently wait for your order once you have requested it from either Reyson [ @galdrgraced​ ] or myself, we will get to you as fast as we can!

All money is upfront when you make the order, have a seat once it’s done and have a chat!

Do not damage property inside the tea shop.

If you must have a scuffle, please take it outside and far from the stalls — lets not cause trouble.

Please only make orders when the shop is open! If we close, please wait until the next day to ask for yours. All pending orders will be taken care of as soon as possible!

Make sure the tea you ask for is on the list!

As a final note, please remember: all teas (except the THAT blend) are worth 140g/5 silver marks, and snacks are an additional 28g/silver mark.

Menu

Here’s a menu of our teas in stock! We might be able to expand on it in the near future with enough funds, but I hope these will satisfy! We don’t carry teas that use the tea plant, though, sorry about that! (At least, I’m pretty sure... I don’t know what that certain blend has). 

The price is a solid 140g, or 5 silver marks, for all of our tea, except our ‘special blend’. Reyson will only offer it to certain people. Berkut’s Blend, WHICH IS 50,000g.

All teas can be served either hot or iced, be sure to specify how you want it prepared!

[ to be reader friendly since my handwriting is ass, here’s the list: Chamomille tea | Rosehip tea | Peppermint tea | Ginger tea | Lemon balm tea |  Mint tea | Mintxginger tea | Milk thistle x dandelion tea | Hibiscus tea | Echinacea tea | Sage tea | Lavander tea | Mango tea | Strawberry tea| Apple x cinnamon tea | Raspberry tea | Boysenberry tea | Orange tea | REYSON’S SPECIAL TEA Berkut’s blend ]

Snacks

If you’d like an accompanying snack, it will be an additional fee of 28g, or one silver mark! They’re made by Mordecai, and he calls them hofftoffeln! It’s kind of like a donut that they make in Gallia.

Herons may request nuts and berries caramelized with honey! 

We might have more snacks available in the future!

OOC wise, if you have taken an order at the Pirate Heron, feel free to make threads about it and whatnot. However, I’ll ask you to not expect me to turn orders into threads, since the reason I’m participating as a shopkeeper only is due to time/attention/energy constraints.

Above all, have fun! Asks for tea can go to either myself or Dani (galdrgraced), please don’t ask our bouncers for tea!

crimson, honey, atoll

From Colorful Headcanons Meme.

Crimson: how passionate is your muse about the things they love most?

Leanne can be passionate towards anything she has her heart set-on, such as helping a good cause, though that passion isn’t displayed as fiery as others. She’s swayed by the hearts of others and naturally desires to assist those that have touched her, such as Elincia. Due to her ever present language barrier, she often expresses her passion through short, but emotional phrases, coupled with a stubbornness similar to Reyson. However, she is more swayed by her heron nature than Reyson, causing her passion to be a bit more subdued at times.

Honey: when your muse loves someone (whether it be romantic, platonic, or familial love), how do they show it?

Being very comfortable with her own emotions and feelings, Leanne is very honest when it comes to loving someone. She’ll offer them her honest praise and adoration. With her capability as a heron to sense the emotions of others,she often offers comfort when they are in pain or need a shoulder to cry on. For those she struggles to communicate with, she’ll invest extra effort just to convey her meaning.

Above all else, Leanne supports the ones she loves without faltering, even if that means forgiving their sins or putting herself in danger.

Atoll: if your muse could go anywhere, without any restrictions whatsoever, where would they go? why would they go there?

If she had a choice to go anywhere, Leanne would like to explore Tellius. She has dwelled within Serenes Forest for so long and she never began to see the outside world prior to her awakening after the Serenes Massacre. However, she wouldn’t want to continue traveling for long, as she would like to settle down and have children of her own.

REYSON HONEY THATS GAY

And a direct quote from his C support with Ike where he just GUSHES ABOUT HIS BIG GAY HAWK KING LMFAO

LORD?!?

[setethsbigbaratitties]

yall remember that time reyson punched oliver in the face so hard he broke his entire hand

[mikotosredqueen]

The last two banners I’ve pulled on that were MTC centric, both Jyuto and Rio came home before Samatoki so I have to wonder if the little shit is doing this on purpose.

Can we take a moment to appreciate how the quality in story writing for Forging Bonds just keeps improving with every event? I like this. I'm actually pumped about unlocking conversations. I never played far enough into those games to even meet these characters. Yet, I'm enjoying them so much already. (Reyson, honey, I'm sure you're doing great just as you are. Don't get discouraged by Wendy.)

a kiss to say goodbye, before they leave on a trip

Naesala lets go of Reyson's hand. His own drops like a weight next to him; the suddenness of it feels like an anchor being lifted, a boat being forced to set sail prematurely. He turns to look at the heron with a tilt of his head.

"Well," he starts, and shrugs back his shoulders as if he does not care about anything. His voice is tinged with something -- anger, maybe. Jealousy, probably.

He is not usually a jealous and unreasonable lover. But when it comes to Tibarn, he cannot help it. Tibarn is handsome and strong, loyal and trustworthy. What is Naesala when compared to that?

"Now that he's back, you can stay in his rooms," he says, trying his best to sound indifferent. "I won't interfere, don't worry. I'll be on my way."

He pauses before he takes flight, that anchor still being lifted from the sea. He cannot help himself as he leans in to press a kiss to Reyson's lips. It's a sad thing and it lingers there, but he does not allow himself to lose himself. He pulls back and smiles -- something dishonest and hollow -- and takes flight.

reyson knows all of naesala's sore spots. this is only one of them, but it's not an insignificant one. he tries not to let frustration show upon his face. naesala is not normally jealous, that is the thing. ordinarily he understands.

he hates needing to explain anything to naesala, and he so rarely needs to. still, this should not be a point of frustration.

and yet it is, isn't it? how often does reyson need to soothe the raven's insecurities before it clicks? he barely has time to respond, in fact, before naesala is flying away.

he wants to hold him close, stop him from leaving, give him honey where there was once blood in his mouth. to let him heal, but he cannot make naesala stay when the thing chasing naesala away is not tibarn ( despite the raven's insistence that it is ) but rather naesala's own insecurities.

"come back!" he cries, but he knows it does no good. reyson's hands clench into fists, and he feels frustrated again, like a child. a laughing boy who loves his wicked crow. he watches him go, frustrated, bitter. "don't do this again!"

[optimismxmagicism]

Ewan took the man’s hand- wow that’s a nice hand, and shook it with perhaps a little too much gusto. “Yep! There’s a party going on after all, who wouldn’t be in good spirits? With so much delicious food too… ah, this is definitely the good life!”

He seemed a little bit oblivious to some of the more… intense parts of the table, just focusing on having a fun time. He was really happy to hear Reyson took an interest in his cooking, and would love to hear what he thinks! “See those syrupy pastries next to the champagne tower? That’s what I made! They’re a traditional dessert back from my home country of Jehanna! I figured some sweets would do everyone good!” He answered, pointing to said treats. They were layers of filo dough with nuts and syrup between each layer. The dessert was absolutely drowning in syrup and the top looked a little bit browner than Filo dough usually was, but it didn’t look unappetizing.

“Oh and I read that some people here have dietary concerns, so I made sure to make them entirely plant based!” He wasn’t aware Reyson was actually one of those people in question, but it was something he mentioned nonetheless. If you were to go truly traditional, you’d use butter for the recipe, but since anything made from dairy made his tummy feel uneasy, he swapped it out for this soy-based butter he found at a local specialty shop. And since he was already swapping out butter, he figured it wouldn’t hurt to swap out the honey with a fruit syrup.

“What about you, mister? Someone with such a cool air like yours must have some equally cool dish, right?” He asked, curiously. Maybe he was laying it on a little thick, but he genuinely meant every word.

Ewan was sitting at the edge of the table, swinging his legs which were dangling from his chair. Looking to his left, a very interesting looking man took the seat next to him. He had a very mysterious air about him, but most notably were the wings that came out of his back! Was it just a really cool angel costume, or was he a being like Lady Myrrh? Ewan couldn’t hold back the excitement he felt at sitting next to such an interesting person.

“Hiya, nice to meet you!!” Ewan greeted the man as he barely had the chance to sit down. “My Name’s Ewan, guess we’ll be table buddies for tonight! A pleasure!” He greeted with a cheerful smile. He wanted to give the best impression possible, after all! And a friendly smile and innocent eyes were always a good place to start.

reyson's usual scowling expression disappeared immediately as his gaze shifted toward the one sitting beside him. an adorable little thing, but despite his diminutive height clearly not a child, per se. he extended a hand as he sat, delight and amusement on his face.

even without his heron empathy, the excitement radiating from the boy was noticeable. "a pleasure to meet you as well, ewan. you seem to be in good spirits."

a lively spirit, this one, which he had to say was far better than some of the tension radiating from other parts of the table. "you'll need to tell me which dish is yours. anything prepared by an excitable cook is sure to be a favorite of the table, you know. intentions can be noticed in the food."

[mikotosredqueen]

Yin is so self sacrificing and for what? You’d think he would want to be more careful with the risks he takes.
