#calan and cailean

[tormxntum]

Who: Calan @royallyxmessy Where: Dining hall When: The morning after

If there was one person Cailean was not prepared to face at that moment, it was Calan. How would he look at them now that he had heard these accusations thrown at them? Of course, he had no way of knowing whether they were true or not, but at that moment, it didn’t matter. Cailean knew the prince had been disappointed enough by the people in his life, and regardless of their view of the monarchy, they had never intended to be yet another person hurting him. Cailean could hear his voice echo in the next room, but for a moment, they allowed themself to linger in the doorway. Their head rested against the cold stone wall as they tried to get their heart to slow down. They knew they would be able to talk themself out of this; they had been born with a silver tongue, but would he ever trust them again? Counting to five, Cailean pushed themself away from the wall and entered the room, leaving behind any traces of nerves or fear. “Mornin’,” they told him as casually as they could master, setting their breakfast plate on the table before taking a seat across from Calan. “Last night was a shitshow, to say the least.”

closed starter ›› @royallyxmessy where: the scottish apartments when: during the rainstorms

she  set  the  tray  of  tea  down on the table in front of the prince before sitting next to him, her hands resting on her lap despite the brief wonder if holdings his hands would encourage him to open up. with the exception of the rain pouring outside, an odd, though not alarming to her, silence hung between them. shock was expected after the revelations that rocked the scottish court. she wore it upon her visage alongside her hurt. her green eyes glistened with emotions as if they were real; the shock, at least, was. zehra had never suspected cailean's name would be uttered, and the german secret wasn't the one she'd anticipated being thrust into the light. wheels were spinning, but currently the prince was her focus.   ❝ you can talk to me, calan, ❞   she whispered, finally breaking the silence.   ❝ i'm here for you. ❞
