Caramelldansen || Nanna and Seliph

starter for @lightinheritor !

Nanna had not even wiped the last stranger’s kiss off her glove when another one approached her: an older gentleman with a twinkle in his eye that made her think of a grandfather. He greets himself in the same way all the others did: a kiss on her hand, a polite compliment on her appearance. The low cacophony of musicians warming up their instruments says that the next dance will be coming up soon, and the people around them start to mill around in search for partners. The older man smiles- smirks might be a better word, for a smug-looking smile like some grand scheme is all going to plan. “Lady Nanna,” he says again, politely yet expectantly, “I would be honored if I could have this next dance with you.”

Nanna already smiles apologetically for the refusal she’s about to give him… if only she could think of a good excuse that he could swallow. Her eyes search the crowd for someone familiar, but she can’t spy Ares’ black cloak or a single hair on her brother’s head. Leif, her mind jumps to immediately, still too used to him never being too far to help her. Only a sharp pang in her heart answers her.

Long blue hair walks by her, and Nanna recognizes Seliph’s clothing from when she greeted him earlier this evening. “King Seliph!” she calls out, hoping he responds and just goes along with all of this. Nanna turns to the old man, trying to look suitably sorry, and raises her voice so that Seliph has some context. “I’m sorry… um, my lord. King Seliph had already asked for a dance earlier. Isn’t that right, your highness?”

17) A comforting text

Maria squinted at the number she’d typed into her phone, reading it over for the third time. She’d never texted a wrong number before, but who was to say the reason she hadn’t wasn’t because she was so careful? But the man peering over her shoulder seemed confident that it was right, and she didn’t want to keep him or his mysterious phone number friend waiting.

[eldegance-blog]

"Hello, sir, it is an honor to meet you. I'm close with your son Ares and I lov- Er, I mean he is a very important friend to me. I'm blessed to have met him. Okay, well, bye."

“eyyy @fatefulguardian !  did you hear that?  your boy told me our sons love each other’s company!  ...which one of us three won that bet again its been 10 years—”

wonder how they first met to become important friends?

@lightinheritor || continued from here: 🎀

Seliph was happy to see a familiar face on the dance floor. “Good to see you, Lene!” he greeted her with a smile. Even though he was flustered by her when they first met, he’s since come to enjoy her bubbly presence. He took her hand and laughed gently. “I have to rely on the expert dancer to take the lead. I’m still learning.” He knew to be mindful of where his feet were, at least. “Are you enjoying yourself tonight?”

The smile is reciprocated instantaneously. “You’re in good hands, Lord Seliph!” she affirms, eager to help him let his hair down a bit. Festivals were just such an occasion where the well-deserved time off could revitalize the spirit.

Words aren’t required to guide his hand as she ushers it to proper place. The mischievous side of her dares to take him for a spin, pushing him to the limit of (and a little beyond) his abilities, but she is still merciful enough to go easy on Seliph for the most part. “Naturally! Truth be told, I haven’t explored much further than the ballroom though, hehe. How about you?”

[sweetest-thief]

🍎 "Blueboy McSuck got some sweets for you from the table. My guards hauled you off so quickly that night no one had the chance to make sure you were okay."

“Who got me what now?” Gaius asked with a blink. Apparently, he didn’t quite remember that blurry mess of a night as well as literally everyone else who’d been in the near vicinity when it all went down. 

Ah well. Sweets were sweets. He took them with an excited grin. “Hey, thanks, pal!” Hmmm... He squinted. “... You DO seem kinda familiar, though...”

12 and 17?

                                                                 roleplay munday [ x ]

12. is there anything about your character that you’ve never explored, but would like to?

for zeiss, i have ideas about older!zeiss that i would be interested in playing around with. i think @gradiivus and i have tossed around some future ideas for a thread featuring older!zeiss, so that should be exciting when it comes around. other than that, since he’s my oldest muse here, it’s hard to think of something i haven’t really touched on at all, at least in headcanon. 

oh, bookworm!zeiss is something that i occasionally talk about, but rarely get to implement into any of his interactions since his day to day life is mostly that of a soldier and that’s how he would be meeting most people. but he is kind of a little bit of a nerd, and i think the opportunity to present that more would be cute, haha. ( yelling somewhere along the east coast at you, @redmessenger give it to meeee!! )

17. how much does your depiction of your muse deviate from canon? do you base most of them in canon, or have you taken some liberties?

in zeiss’ case, i took heavy liberties for sure, since he only has his recruitment scene and then only like 3-4 supports for me to work from. 90% of his dialogue in these moments are pretty standard and hard to get any sense of character out of, but there are moments that distinguish him from Loyal Soldier TM, like his supports with shin, a bit of his support with elen, and some moments in his karel support. 

so i pretty much took those few sentences where he felt like an individual and just ran with them. the rest of his character is very much constructed by me, though haha. if fe6 gets remade and it turns out he’s not a socially awkward, shy red potato, then.....idk i’ll eat my own foot.

9 and 15

9. what’s one character trait you have in common with your muse? one trait you don’t have in common?

Heading into headcanon territory a moment but… poor choice in coping mechanisms for starters I suppose. I relate to Matthew a lot more than I do Ewan. I don’t have Ewan’s boundless energy (not by a long shot) nor either of their devotion to what they do. Blub blub. I wish I did though.

15. what’s your favorite thing about writing for your muse?

So far, my favourite thing is probably the process of getting to know them both. In this, they are no different from whenever I’d pick up a new OC - there’s a skeleton to work with, an idea of where I might like to go, and then you get threads thrown in there that add ideas you might’ve never considered before. I’m really hoping to get some good mileage out of these two - I’m pretty attached already.

— ★ A SUPPLEMENTARY TALE : leif & seliph

for : @lightinheritor​

❝ soldiers, at rest! the order has come from lord seliph. we are to stay here for the night, but be on alert. i will need volunteers for first watch . . . ❞

the voice ringing out over the halls brings audible relief to the amassed soldiers, many of them weary and wounded from the long campaign from meace west to castle luthecia, where they have now made their temporary base. the first half of what had been a daunting series of battles in thracia has come to a close, and many would argue that they had put the worst behind them. meace, kapathogia, and luthecia are all in their possession, travant has been slain, and the famous shield of thracia and his adopted son are now sworn fighters in the service of the liberation army. 

all that remains are the castles in thracia’s heartland, and the biggest threats are gone — save prince areone and what certainly awaits them in his hand: the gungnir. && further, though the thought weighs on few other minds besides his own, what will become of thracia’s princess? 

                   ❝ my lord, will you allow me to change your bandages? ❞

the young cleric pulls him from his thoughts, and he looks up to her from his place on the bed, bare from the waist up save for a thick swath of cloth around his middle. bruises and cuts litter his arms and torso, and the cotton about his right side is already pink again. he glances down at it, where travant’s lance had pierced through leather and flesh, gouging deep, nearly incapacitating him.

he remembers the spark of triumph in the man’s eyes when he thought he’d gotten the best of him. his fingers tighten in his sheets. he’s dead. he’d severed the tyrant’s head with his own light brand, as he’d been dreaming of doing for sixteen years. it’s over. ❝ yes. thank you. ❞ as he shifts to allow her to unwind the cloth from him with precise care, his mind back goes to what travant had left behind. 

             you’re saying the person i believe to be my father is my true              father’s murderer? what nonsense.

             i . . . i want so badly to say you’re lying . . . but i can’t!

she had told him to wait, left him standing there on the battlefield while she flew back to thracia to confront travant about the truth. but then the king had sprung a surprise attack on meace, and leif had had to break from seliph’s main force to lead men to meace’s defense. he had been so focused on avenging his father’s death that he hadn’t had time to wonder whether altena had been able to learn the truth at all.

she’d looked just like he’d always imagined — fierce and proud, as one bearing noba’s lineage. hair, eyes, a face like his, like the portrait of his father. their father. and if that wasn’t telling enough, she’d held the gae bolg itself in her hands. his sister. but would she believe him? or would she be waiting with prince areone in thracia, ready to cut him down? 

the thought makes him so restless that he itches to move, to find answers, even just talk to someone. but all he can do is wait. he’d just ridden back from meace to rejoin seliph and the others, and his injury is still healing. his expression flinches as the cleric applies a disinfecting poultice to the angry-looking wound. he hates waiting.

[retainyar-blog]

Can I keep you?

“Well, you don’t smell fully human, so...” He thinks for a minute, and then flashes a grin. “Maybe. You have nice hair, I’ll give you that. Might want to go easy on the sideburn-y things, though.”

[princessmacedon]

Not as it seems || Seliph and Maria

Where... was she? 

Maria’s head swiveled as she hastened to take in her surroundings; she found herself to be standing in the dirt and wild grass, the foliage petering out around her stretching far back into a sea of trees. It would have been easy to think she was still in the right place, but she knew the woods of Macedon-- had stared at them through her window back in the time when sleep was peaceful and her family was whole-- and these woods were not them. 

She knew enough of the oddities of the world (as endless as they were) to know she was no longer where she was meant to be. A furrow crept between her brows, and she drew her staff closer to her. This wasn’t exactly an unfamiliar situation (perhaps that admission would trouble her siblings, if they ever knew); it was easier to keep her wits about her now, and to figure out what it was she needed to do. 

As she scanned the area around her, she spied a figure in the distance, and slowly, cautiously, she approached them. Eventually, once she thought she was in earshot, she raised her voice and called out.

“Hello?” Her hands shifted as she drew the staff even closer. “Excuse me--!”

[flowerfortunesandfaceplants]

@lightinheritor ♥’ed for a starter!

He looked.... familiar. 

Sumia was not sure why but she felt like she had met this man before. He was glancing around, appearing to be searching for something. Lost perhaps? She was moving through the streets, bags of supplies in them. Some were for the Shepherds, while others were for her own personal use. A book and some baking ingredients. 

She approached the man, drawn to him by curiosity and by the strange feeling like they might have met. 

“Can I help you?”

[bloodofheim-blog]

She sighed a bit, facing the ground with her hands clasped together. It was truly odd, finding that she had family aside from Arvis Deidre and Julius, but nothing had scared her more than the prospect of hurting someone else she cared about.

Seliph and everyone from the Liberation Army were nice to her, but she thought it was because she had arrived with Levin. Larcei had chewed her out when she mentioned that, and it hadn't been spoken of since. Now that she knew she was the princess of the Grannvale Empire, it seemed like everyone was keeping her away out of fear she'd be like Julius.

"To be honest, it is a bit overwhelming finding out that your family is royalty after not really knowing anything. I just- what if something happens?"

Family Problems [Julia and Seliph]

//starter for @lightinheritor 

It was far too late for her to be second guessing herself now. It was the end of the war against Loptous, and had been for a while. She had been feeling…off recently, but Julia didn’t know why she felt like that, nor did anyone else she had asked. She had resigned herself to weird things happening a while ago but this was too much for her. 

She was in thought enough that she hadn’t noticed Seliph walking behind her and barely noticed him tapping her shoulder. She jumped a little bit before turning around, and sighed in relief. 

“Oh…Seliph, is something happening?” 

[disgracedvessel]

Shot in the Dark [Julius & Seliph]

@lightinheritor sent : 🌕A full moon night with wind whistling through the trees

Since the end of the war, mortality had become a very real, very tangible concept for Julius. The blood of Loptous still ran strong in his veins, but the whispered promise of immortality had left him with the fell god. Nearly everyday, he slid past death, and the limitations of his frail body frustrated him. He was weak, so weak, and without the tome that was locked to his bloodline, he stood no chance against the other holy-blooded heroes across the continent. They could easily kill him, if they chose to do so, and showing himself to the emperor - who, by now, had undoubtedly spread the information to the other major houses - had been a bold, but ultimately foolish move. He had given Seliph no reason not to order his execution, and instead hoped that his half-brother’s soft-heartedness would be in his favor this time.

Still, he set about devising a plan to bring Seliph under his control, or, at the very least, prove that he was of some use alive. A letter, anonymous on the outside, had been delivered to the emperor, and though Julius did not sign his name to its contents, he left more than enough hints to his identity. Seliph would know beyond a doubt who had penned the instructions to meet at a cave just outside of Belhalla on the night of a full moon. In exchange for immunity, he offered up his former comrades - the cult that had, at one point, worshipped him.

He didn’t regret betraying them, he tried to convince himself, staring up at the tall trees that swayed back and forth in front of the rising moon. They had betrayed him first when they cast him from their hideout, and again when they launched their attack in Yied. And it was Saias who had told him that disparate groups could be united against a common enemy. If he could prove that the followers of Loptous were just as much his enemy as they were the rest of Jugdral’s, then perhaps he would be saved and could walk the streets once more without disguise.

A figure emerged from the trees into the moonlight, at first unnoticed by Julius who continued to contemplate the sky above, so when his eyes swung downward and discerned someone else in the darkness, his heart nearly skipped a beat. His cloak hid his hair and forehead, so he stood quiet and watchful until he could be certain of the figure’s identity.

“You’re late, Seliph,” he chided, motioning skyward where the moon had already reached its halfway point. “Did you come alone, as I instructed?”

4 11 26!

Hey it’s that blue-haired lord asking about College AUs.

4. Any funny stories they might share? (Kinda vomit mention so be careful)

One time, when she was a high schooler, 10th grade, they were doing some nasty things to a frog, like opening it up and all... Every other girl was close to barfing, but Peri, being the weird child she was, was the only girl that did the whole thing without so much as gagging.

After class, though, everyone slipped their frogs inside Peri’s backpack. When she arrived home, and looked at the frog-tastrophe inside her bag, she did the sensible thing and made frog feet soup.

When she brought it to school, and started giving them to everyone, she waited until they were done to tell them it was the frogs they had killed. To everyone’s surprise, they hadn’t noticed the eyeballs inside the soup. They never messed with Peri anymore, after that.

11. Did they join any school clubs?

Of course, she joined the Cooking and Baking class. She was the best at it, and might’ve ended up giving the class in the teacher’s name a couple of times. For once, she wasn’t hated for this.

26. Would they excuse cheating on an exam?

Of course. How do you think she passed high school? Studying?
