Opaali Liekki had a severe distaste for Nousi Aamunkoitto. Both of the mathematicians took their jobs seriously but neither really cared for the other's way of teaching. Both were strict in their methods and had no time for nonsense but Aamunkoitto was far more affectionate with his Liege than Liekki was. Aamunkoitto was known in the palace to be quick to cry and extra emotional when it came to his loved ones and Liekki this as a show of weakness and thought that Aamunkoitto should do a better job of distancing himself and focusing on the job.

He openly mocked the man often and criticized his style of teaching and his relationship to Pilvi, even though Liekki himself kept Usva at only so much of a distance. Liekki felt pressure constantly to make sure Usva's education was just as good as Pilvi's and often criticized the boy and his teachers for having to put in less effort because of Pilvi's status as the Child of White, and the Celestial Mother's Holy Vessel.

Despite Liekki's antagonism towards Aamunkoitto, Aamunkoitto hardly engaged with him. He only ever got invovled when comments about Pilvi were being said. Otherwise, he really could have cared less what the other man thought about him. However there was a certain historian that did care and was known for squaring off with Liekki often.

Opaali Liekki || Opal Flames

Opaali Liekki was Prince Usva's math and medical teacher. He is a cunning man and very straight to the point. He comes from a high educational background and has the pedigree to match it. He served as one of the many doctors on staff within the space of the Royal Palace but was strictly assigned to Prince Usva's care.

As a Misterican born to the color green, he doesn't have many friends and struggles to make them - because of this his personality can come off as cold and uncaring. He is calculated and not someone anyone would ever want to make an enemy of. He cares for his charge with fierce loyalty and he would go to any lengths to protect him. Even if those lengths would be frowned on by those around him.

As a man of science however he found himself fascinated by Prince Pilvi and found himself attempting to interact with the boy on many occasions. Both sets of Binds - Usva's and Pilvi's have banned the child from interacting with Liekki under no circumstance and there has been many times when they have had to remove Pilvi from Liekki's presence. Ironically, the person who was caught doing this the most was Sitriini Sinfonia even if his personal charge was Prince Usva and not Pilvi.

·:*¨༺ ✩★✩ ༻¨*:· Sometimes he finds it strange how close he's gotten to Liekki and Syksy but there is a voice in the back of his head that tells him it all makes perfect sense actually. He's gotten close with Safiirin and he wants to say moderately so with the rest of Pilvi's teachers but somehow this pair of Prince Usva's have managed to squirm in his heart as well.

Probably because Liekki likes to keep tabs on his Liege and not the man's own. He swears this man of medical toxin spends more time interested in the younger of the eclipse brothers than the elder. Which is only a problem because the younger is not the one that Liekki is bound to.

"So rumor has it that your Liege is immune to mist effects." The mathematical medic comments dryly as lavender eyes look over the knight with an almost bored expression.

Pilvi is currently at sword practice and Safiirin is watching both boys with the eyes of an eagle for him just so he has a moment to eat.

Liekki has taken upon himself to join him.

He doesn't recall asking for company.

A pink gaze raises but the knight fails to speak, neither confirming or denying the rumor - yet still this man of numeric medicine takes a seat anyway.

Usva's teachers have always somehow found themselves entitled to his time when he isn't bound to them either.

"So have you tested it?" The man continues bored. "Have you tested to see if he is immune to your mist? I'm going to assume you haven't because the boy is still alive and well I can't imagine even the Celestial Mother being immune to someone like us."

And oh, how he wants to tell him but yet somehow finds it within him to refrain from doing so because while Palo was most interested in this development, at least she remained respectful. There was something about how Liekki operated however that told him if he did tell the man of the "accident" and how his Liege had tricked him to run a test himself - that this man of medical math would turn the boy into a science project and quite frankly Pilvi already had enough problems with people picking and poking at him.

So he's sighing and shaking his head to give the man a wordless answer. He know he's tried to do his best to teach his the boy no to lie but sometimes there were just certain places where the action deemed necessary.

"Ah." The man of sea foam and violet starts with a slight droop in his posture. "Pity. I still would love to look the boy over if you can swing him a moment. I understand he is the Child of White and all, so he's excessively busy but you've been avoiding my office for nearly eight years now, Revon. I really should look him over. To make sure all is well of course."

"He has Palo for that."

There was no hesitation in his words as pink eyes can only half glare and stare back unamused. Perhaps he can get his point across this way, that he only wants to eat the sandwich in his hand and that he really should be getting over to the practice field because if the brothers are left in the presence of only one of them for too long, nothing good can come of. They are both little troublemakers and putting them together makes one even bigger problem.

Safiirin's mist can't lock them both into slow motion should they decide that today is the perfect day for shenanigans and it's been some time since they've pulled anything.... so really they're overdue for some mischief.

Excuses // for sinfonia

Headcanons for Muses with a difficult past || Accepting

Excuses // Do they try to defend or excuse their past or current actions? What excuses do they bring up, if they do?

This man is the last person who is going to give you an excuse for his actions. It's too the point that he'll take the blame for things that AREN'T his fault.

His situation with Syksy made his whole life fucking complicated beyond belief.

This Situation.

Due to Sinfonia's blood line to the crown, by all rights he shouldn't have soul bound to Prince Usva but as he's not a direct member of the crowned family it didn't break any laws when he did so.

Context:

Lord Huippu = Aurinko's Dad || Lady Hiekkaa = Aurinko's Mother Aurinko = Kumo's Dad / Current King Hiekkaa = Shokki's little sister Shokki = Sinfonia's Father || Tuli = Sinfonia's Mother Tuli = Aurinko's Soul Bind / Music Teacher AKA in a less confusion way. Heikka - Sinfonia's Aunt -> married into the royal family. So Sinfonia is technically royal in truth he's Aurinko's cousin.

This is where the problem happens. Aurinko is 3 years older than Sinfonia, and Sinfonia was born in the palace, so as far as Aurinko is concerned - that's his little brother as they were raised at each other's sides and always together. Baby Aurinko used to even come steal baby Sinfonia and carry him around because "you made him just for me. He's mine."

So in Aurinko and Sinfonia's heads - they're brothers.

And quite frankly no one in the palace was willing to correct them. Just let them be. They weren't causing any harm and if they see each other as brothers so be it.

So the problem is, in the context of Sinfonia being Aurinko's baby brother - he really shouldn't have bound to Usva (his nephew). But he did it anyway. Aurinko (now king) let him do it anyway. If that context held truth by blood then they both would have been breaking the law.

Knowingly.

But they both are aware the brother status is 'adoptive' so they just went with it. They really weren't hurting anything by having Sinfonia teach Usva music, even more so since Sinfonia was forced into early retirement after injuring his wrists from overuse and being near unable to play his violin anymore.

However Syksy - Usva's Government Teacher / Sinfonia's Co-Bind - got her hands on the "they're brothers" information despite the palace doing their best to keep that hush hush and she took it very literal and decided to blackmail Sinfonia with it.

Oh and it worked. Sinfonia struggles with any information involving contracts and politics and the government, so she basically blindsided him with half lies and backed him into a corner to make him believe that if anything happened to the royal family, it would be all his fault for breaking the law for his "own selfish gains".

So she manipulated him for literally over a decade with this. Bullied and harassed him. Orchestrated a plot with Liekki (Usva's medical teacher / Sinfonia's Co-Bind & doctor) and the two of them tried to kill Sinfonia. Both of them were extremely abusive to him, and forced him to do and say things he never would have for any reason otherwise but they had him convinced that if he didn't comply the royal family would be hurt and it'd be all his fault.

And when Sielu finally found out about all this - Sinfonia apologized to him about it. He took and has always taken full responsibility for his actions and the things he's said and the damage he's caused. Even before Sielu knew that he had his hands metaphorically tied behind his back. That he was an asshole by force not choice.

Sinfonia never stopped apologizing and when things went wrong again, he apologized for that too. He will not defend the shit he did when Syksy was blackmailing him and he holds himself 100% responsible for it. He's more likely to tell you he's fine when he's absolutely not.

Anonymous asked:

☁️🌫️ + How are you handling Syksy and Liekki doing what they did to Sinfonia? Did you know about it? Are you worried for him?

"It pains me to say how clueless I was but I didn't have an idea they were torturing him to such a degree. I know that Liekki and Sinfonia had their own fair share of problems but I didn't realize the fallout was near deadly. I - have not seen the damage with my own eyes but I have been told that both of them have put hands on the man - on my Setä and that when they did so that it was because he is my Seta.

I can't forgive them for it. He's not even here for me to check on him right now and I'm afraid to call him with the way I snapped at him the last time we spoke. Palo said there has been multiple occurrences that looked like someone put their hands on him. Father said that Sielu said he's found him setting in broken glass and a messy classroom as the aftermath of what I can only assume was a fight.

Setä Sinfonia isn't built for fighting. He has a heart condition. He shouldn't be fighting. Even more so in his own home. I can't believe they would betray us like this. They didn't just betray him, but they betrayed me. I feel like they used me just to get closer to the crown. They used me just to get into a position of power and I - "

"I don't really have a lot of time right now. I need to apologize to Pikkuveli. That is if he'll even talk to me. I went too far this time. He's probably going to hate me for the rest of our lives, and honestly? I wouldn't blame him."

Smaragdin Syksy was Prince Usva's History and Government teacher. She was the fourth bind in his set of supporters, coming into the fold after Opaali Liekki. She bonded well with the prince and had decent relations with his other binds, choosing to favor her company to Liekki and Timantti more often than not.

Her opinions about the state of the government have put her at odds with Nousi Aamunkoitto and Tähtien Valo - and in all honesty most of Prince Pilvi's binds for that matter. She thinks she's protecting Prince Usva by making unwarranted comments about Prince Pilvi's progress and his status as Lady Tiamat's chosen vessel because of this not one of Pilvi's binds care for her and the prince himself has been instructed to stay away from her if he's able.

Within the ranks of her own binds she has a tolerable at best relationship with Sitriini Sinfonia, as she was quick to find out the truth of his relations to the princes and frowns on him heavily for it. She still, however, kept this information to herself. Often pulling it on him in the form of blackmail when he would speak against her in concerns to how they should be interacting with both the princes. She was never above encouraging him to conform lest private information got leaked to the rest of the palace.
