     There was supposed to be a puppet show around here.

     Standing around as all types of Scourge-folk and strangers of the living meander about in what is most certainly a trap bubbled up all manners of discomfort within the Spymaster. He situates an agent to watch the main floor to relieve him from the crowd and investigate the quieter areas.

     So, he snoops. He finds the... questionable puppets and stage, where all manners of props, materials, and reagents of origins he’d rather not think about right now lay about. Stacked high are the various puppets carefully arranged in a pyramid, each detailing faces of notable figures, as well as the undead.

     Curious, he prods at one, only for it to collapse the entirety of the pile, the integrity of the structure ruined and clattering loudly to the floor in an utter heap of disaster. He doesn’t move, just holds completely still as they all crash down at his feet.

     He looks up, seeing that he’s been witnessed by Valeera of all guests, and says nothing for a long moment, as something else nearby begins to clatter down just as loud.

     When it finally quiets, he speaks. “ Evidently, they’re fragile. ”

“So, you’re Shaw’s pirate.” Though her eyes are narrowed in sceptical assessment, it’s not a question: she’d know who he is even absent his strange affiliation with the spymaster. What she cannot fathom, even with her head canted to one side, even squinting, her nose wrinkled in faint distaste at what her scrutiny discovers, is why there’s an affiliation there at all. Not that she wants to make a habit of understanding Shaw... // send me stuff ! // @shadowsblades​

What kind of commander is Lorna? How much does she expect from her subordinates, and what happens to them if they don't deliver? Does she inspire loyalty as a commander, or are her subordinates more loyal to Gilneas and their cause than her? Is her leadership respected, or does her nobility make her soldiers skeptical?

QUESTIONS ABOUT THE MUSES // always accepting ♡

I think she can be demanding, and she certainly expects only the best from them. There is no room to work with her if you’re not willing to be really dedicated, although at the same time I think she’d be tolerant towards honest mistakes or failure that is not related to a lack of trying. She pushes people to do their best, but she’s always there encouraging their growth, so I think her approach is more to let people learn from their mistakes and do better next time than anything like ‘you messed up so you’re fired’ or anything of the sort kasndfkjasnfk She expects them to be capable of following orders, respecting her decisions, as well as that they are loyal to Gilneas and the Alliance. When it comes to combat or tactics or anything like that, I don’t think she demands more than she thinks someone is capable of, and those are things that can be worked on with time, while the previous are more uh, mandatory in the sense she requires that from the start.

Lorna would not be some iron fist commander, and she absolutely is not the type of person to rely on because my ranking is higher and I said so you must obey. I believe she is actually the type of commander that would be open to listening to her troops, be it suggestions or concerns or even complaints. Ultimately, they have to follow her decisions on the matter, and that is made clear to everyone; but she tries to do well by them, and she is okay and encourages things to be discussed, she’s definitely someone who think different insights on a situation can be helpful.

As to how her soldiers feel about her, I personally do not think she is regarded as someone who is in that position due to her birth. Way before Lorna was a commander, she was fighting as any other Gilnean, and took a very active position in the liberation front, a job she did very well for the most part. So she has experience as a soldier too, and she’s shown she’s very capable and good when it comes to tactics. Besides, the moment in Gilneas right before its fall had the Crowleys in a very complicated position, because while they were nobles themselves, they were openly rebelling against nobility, and royalty more specifically. I’m sure some people thought in the end that was Darius being petty and angry about Greymane building a goddamn wall around the kingdom that left him outside, but the idea most seem to have is that he was standing for what was right, and willing to oppose the king when he was making some shitty choices. Lorna did not have the same role her father had in the rebellion, but she was nevertheless a part of it to some extent, and I feel like that’d help people be less skeptical because of her being a noble, even if Darius and Genn made amends later. 

And in regards to their loyalty, I feel like it’s less one or the other and more a mix of both, specially because Lorna herself is fighting so fiercely for Gilneas first and foremost. In a way, that is something I think would inspire those under her who are loyal to their homeland first, because Lorna stands up and takes such an active position in trying to get Gilneas back. She’s very passionate about it, but even more importantly, she’s taking direct action whenever there is an opportunity to do so. I feel like because of that, and because she tends to be caring towards her soldiers even if she demands the best from them, she’d have earned some admiration from them. At the same time, she’s still very young, and I feel particularly when it comes to older people, there’d be a number of them which would be skeptical of her being in that position. 

And when it comes to people doubting her for stupid reasons like that, she’d have no tolerance for that. In this type of situation, I think her attitude would be a lot more authoritarian -- you either suck it up and accept she is your commander and you do your job well, or she won’t have you as one of her soldiers, because she’ll not undermine the efficiency of her troops to keep someone there who isn’t willing to acknowledge her leadership and will question her orders not because there are things to be questioned and rather because they don’t think she’s fit to lead. I really don’t think Lorna feels like she’s gotta prove herself to those people. She always does her best and she’s already shown herself to be capable. If anyone has a problem with it, well, it’s not her problem.

100 random character development questions // accepting ::

2. Do they do anything to celebrate their birthday? (before and after death)

We do not speak of the havoc a drunken Sylvanas, Nathanos, and Lor’themar caused in Dalaran when celebrating the Ranger-General’s 300th birthday. Oh the chaos that Silvermoon and Quel’Thalas briefly endured when their Ranger-General, and top ranking Ranger-Lords vanished without a word. Made worse by the reports from Dalaran of three mysterious archers terrorizing mages…

King Anestarian quickly forbade any to speak on the subject…

In undeath it is a much more subdued event, the Dark Lady hardly acknowledges the day. Generally, she is far too busy to really plan or do anything for it anyways.

14. Detail one secret shame your character feels.

Specific to our thread with Survivor Sylvanas and Child Valeera… 

She doesn’t believe they’ll make it. Sylvanas doesn’t have the heart to tell Valeera that their chances of making it out of Lordaeron are dismal. She is near certain they’re both going to die, and all she can hope is that when that horrible moment finds them, she can kill Valeera to spare her the horror of being eaten alive by ghouls and undead.

67. Does your character believe in fate or destiny?

She does, only because she resents it enough to make it her enemy and attempts to destroy it. You cannot be angry at something and not acknowledge its existence.

Traitor, Vanora would have snarled if the directive hadn’t been to play nice. And because Vanora was such a teamplayer and good and loyal Thalassian citizen, she wouldn’t dare to raise the Ranger General’s - or worse, the Lord Regent’s - ire. Still - the Ranger Lord didn’t look all to happy to meet Lady Sanguinar, who seemed to prefer the Alliance’s companionship to that of the own people. Not even a High Elf at that, either. But this wasn’t the right moment; even though Vanora’s burning gaze rested on Valeera’s pretty little face.  

“We don’t know where she is. Yet.” The Farstriders tried to find someone who not only had been one of their own. Sylvanas Windrunner had been the best of the order, and if she wanted to disappear... it would only be easier now. A solution maybe lay what the enemy had found out, but considering Anduin Wrynn’s course of action... “I dearly hope the Alliance is trying to find her all the same. We are losing time by the minute. What does Alleria say?”

Valeera is a puzzle to Raern. She’s very much stuck on the idea that Valeera is solidly Alliance, but insists on declaring herself neutral. Her feelings toward that are layered - to most she would explain it away as an oddity. The lies she tells herself is it’s just her motherly instinct acting up around one of her people that is clearly so young. The truth of the matter is that Raern cannot accept the possibility of true neutrality, of having personal relationships to people aligned to a cause but not having a cause (even if it’s the opposite) yourself.

Raern sees herself as some weird... mother/sister/mentor figure to Valeera. She tries to impart wisdom in a way that Valeera could swallow, and secretly she’s rooting for Valeera to succeed. But she hasn’t quite gotten to the point of realizing Valeera not only doesn’t want her help, she doesn’t need it.

Raern enjoys teasing Valeera at any given opportunity, as it reminds her of dozens of friendships she’s had and lost over her life. While she cannot possibly admit it even to herself, Raern wishes she were closer to Valeera. Even if she did admit it, she would never be willing to be as vulnerable as would be necessary for any relationship beyond professional friends to grow.

There is absolutely no potential for a crush, fling or romantic relationship to form between them. Raern sees Valeera as far too young to ever embark on such a venture. On the flipside, Raern could easily kill Valeera (from an emotional/psychological standpoint) if she was ordered to explicitly. But she would sooner find a loophole in her orders, or ‘allow’ Valeera to escape, though she only would allow it once.

So, Vereesa is definitely aware of who Shandris is, at least as a General, and I think there is a small (very, very quiet) part of her that looks up to Shandris, in a way. As a sort of living example of how to lead, whereas her other role models are dead or, in Sylvanas’ case, ‘tainted’. I think she might have heard tidbits of what a casual Shandris is like from Jaina, but nothing much to really know Shandris.

Shandris wears her titles well around other members of the Alliance. To an outsider, she likely looks no different from Maiev, Tyrande, or any other night elf woman in a position of power (maybe just a tad more approachable). Of course, underneath that is her more youthful and optimistic side, but again, I don’t think Vereesa would have ever been in a place or situation to see that. The most she could go off of was Jaina’s reassurances that Shandris is not nearly as straight-backed or uptight as she appears.

I think, if they were given the opportunity to interact more and Vereesa were able to see Shandris’ more optimistic and playful side, there is definitely a potential for a crush to develop. But it going any further than that? Well, Shandris is utterly oblivious, and I don’t think Vereesa would have the guts (at least any time within the next century) to say a damn word about it. But centuries from now, when Vereesa has actually grown up a bit more and found her own self-confidence, I could actually see them being a relatively healthy romantic relationship.

     The Spymaster knows Stormwind better than the backs of his own hands. There’s not a single nook or cranny in this city that he’s not aware of — every space has been used to his advantage one way or another. In narrow alleys, sound travels further, allowing quiet intel gathering; in some corners, it takes minimal effort to settle in and blend with the environment.

     But perhaps his favorite has always been the rooftops.

     The slowly setting sun paints the sky in brilliant blazes of pinks, purples and oranges, and he savors it, soaking in the beauty among the slowly dwindling crowds of citizens and adventurers at the ground below. The armistice meant more free time; if he wanted work, he’d have to genuinely find it. Dreadful.

     He doesn’t move when he hears company approach, recognizing the cadence of footsteps. He’s comfortable, even, to know Sanguinar was there, and doesn’t bristle in the slightest.

     “ Bored? ” He asks, sparing a glance back to her. “ Quite nothing to do except observe the colors in the sky. Aside, of course, from a troublesome group not far from Northshire — something tempting to check out, if you’re interested in accompanying. ”

     He turns his gaze back to the setting sun, only occasionally looking back to the passing citizens on their grandiose mounts. “ Otherwise, I spy with my little eye something that begins with... F. ”

— WHEN  DO  YOU  GAZE  AT  YOUR  SOULMATE?

when they're working

see this is what you love most. their eyes light up and no one can do it quite like them. whether they are a fighter or a healer. whether they are full of grace and gentle poise, or brute strength and wild energy, you love them when they are at their purest form. raw and unfettered. unadulterated by social cues and careful masks we all wear. when they are just them, trusting their instincts, using their experience, relying on the skills they earned. this is when you heart swells with pride. and you can never decide if you want to interrupt them and draw them into your arms with a hungry, appreciative kiss. or if you could sit there and quietly observe them for hours with more satisfaction than anything physical could bring.

when they're getting ready for the day

this is all you've ever wanted. you and them and the promise of a future. you should be getting ready too. but you lay in bed for a moment, still feeling the traces of their warmth on the sheets, their scent on your skin. you watch how carefully they choose their outfit for the day. you watch as they pair the colors. you memorize that face they make when they stand at the mirror checking every detail. you savor how routine it is. you savor it because you both earned it. there is something precious in the domesticity and you vow to never take it for granted.

when they don't see you

you love them and you're not sure they know. but that's okay. you're used to loving more than you are loved. you give more than is given. and maybe others don't understand but you don't expect more. you tell yourself the love in your heart is not meant to be savored by anyone other than you. it's more than enough to get to exist at the same time as them. you stand in their shadow and you thank the sun for casting it. they touch your arm but they do not feel the same warmth which lingers on your skin for days. you gaze at them and they might even be looking right back but they are not seeing into your soul the same way you have memorized theirs. it's enough you tell yourself. it's enough. it's enough. but what if it's not? and what if you're wrong. what if they see you and all this time you have been too scared to ask what they're looking at.

@shadowsblades said: “there is no honor in betraying your friends.“

THE SONG OF ACHILLES MEME // accepting.

"Loyalty has value, when devoted to the right people.” As meaningless as a honor, otherwise, both so quick to lead one to death meaningless in effort thankless. Loyalty he can respect, however; it never stopped being part of who he is at very core, dutiful as he had constantly been in following Sylvanas, regardless of where it led him -- to hell and beyond, if needed be. He can concede her this much, if nothing else, the respect in acknowledging there is virtue in her unwillingness to betray her friends. Unimportant, truly, and Nathanos knows this as well as Valeera also certainly does.

Crimson gaze remains upon her, eerily calm and utmost alert to her actions. “I advise you to think if your friends are such, nevertheless.
