this store is amazing! technology has come so far. sure, being forced into an unknown city for a second time is less than desirable, especially since things are so… different here. not “different” in the way that Enbarr is, but different in all regards. culture, food, technology, customs – all of it is so confusing to Petra, yet if she could do it once, she can do it again.
for example, the store Petra is currently in is designed specifically for makeup. gone are the days of making her own makeup for her undereye mark. the future is now, and the future is taking an “eyeliner pencil” in just the shade she wants, gliding it along her cheek, and calling it a day. and the color is so much more vibrant than what the markets near Garreg Mach had! how convenient!
with a satisfied grin, Petra caps the eyeliner pencil and turns to head to the cashier. but before she can continue, she spots a familiar face observing various foundation hues.

“Sylvain?”
★★ “tch, out of my shade...” his complaint was quiet, focused as he was on the makeup display in front of him, and it took him a beat to recognize the voice calling his name was considerably older than he was used to these days. not an ex-client ( or an ex-girlfriend ), but once again an ex... was classmate too generous? they’d hardly overlapped, and he’d respected her too much to ever play at flirtation.
well, whatever they were exes in, the sight of petra still brought a natural smile to sylvain’s face, and he lit up further when he spotted what was in her hand.
“petra, what a pleasant surprise! the selection here is just wild, isn’t it? if you think the eyeliner is good, you should see the other stuff.” he crossed the short aisle to the lipstick selection, picking out a deep shade that would compliment ( but not exactly match ) the color of pencil she already held. “how do you feel about lipstick? i always thought you’d look amazing in something dark. pretty and powerful, just like you.”

@halfaknight and @charmingsecretary asked || 🍑 : how meticulously does my muse look after their physical appearance? do they spend a lot of time on their hair, makeup, grooming, and clothing? is there a particular reason why they do or don’t?
sylvain makes a lot of jokes about how handsome and irresistible he is, but fact is, he knows ( or rather, believes ) he’s a soft 6/10 on an average day. still, his worth is judged by his use, and using him is a less pleasant experience if he’s ugly. so he takes care of himself, for himself.
he shaves his stubble every morning, puts on a subtle face of makeup, chooses his outfits carefully, makes sure his hair is perfectly tousled... he works hard to be slightly above average, thanks.
there is another layer, too-- on some deeply hidden level, sylvain is afraid of looking like his brother. he jokes about getting all the beauty in the family, and his dad’s no looker either, but it’s miklan he’s terrified of waking up one day and seeing in the mirror. the makeup helps.

anonymous asked || 👤 + felix, 👤 + ingrid [ old meme to talk about x ]
“what can’t i say about felix? he’s my best friend without competition, i’d even go so far as to call him my soulmate-- but that’d probably be taken the wrong way, hah. felix is.. he always wants what’s best, you know? not for himself, but for the greater good and all that. he’s a genuinely kind-hearted, beautiful person. he’s like a perfect foil for me, right? he’s so prickly and mean on the outside, but you get deeper and he’s soft and pure and charming... total opposite of me.”
“i don’t-- okay, i do know where i’d be without felix, and it’s dead before i turned twelve. and that’s being generous. it wouldn’t be exaggerating to say he’s saved my life at least once every single day for over fifteen years now! can you believe someone that good exists? and he’s my best friend?”
“ingrid is a picture perfect knight. that’s probably the biggest compliment anyone could pay her, she’s worked her ass off to get there, and she’s done a great job of it! ...i won’t lie, though, she can and does bring the bad of knighthood right along with the good. it can hurt her a lot, that she won’t break from a tradition that’s actively keeping her down, even when the rest of us are trying to lift her up. ingrid is everything our parents’ faerghus represents.”
“thing is, most of us aren’t okay with how faerghus was. we want change. i don’t want her to get left behind, but i’m worried she’ll leave herself behind. we can’t stop her from digging her heels in. we can only keep lifting her up.”
“...‘course, if she heard any of that, she’d laugh in my face. the idea that i’m somehow supporting her would probably sound like one of my worse jokes. the way ingrid sees it.. i’m always gonna drag her down. it’s all i can do to ask her to keep me around anyway.”

@fleurteller and @twilitimperium asked || 🍉 : which of the four seasons suits my muse best, and why?
it’s no secret sylvain hates the heat-- because he won’t shut up about it as soon as the weather turns. he grew up in the northernmost reaches of the faerghus kingdom, known for its harsh cold, and his territory was further still into the desert region that was formerly sreng. nighttime in an icy desert is no joke, but sylvain grew up in it, and never had any problem with the cold.
as such, winter is the easy choice: as soon as the first snow falls, faerghus boys go hard. it’s ‘going out in booty shorts’ season, it’s ‘fuck a snowball fight this is snow war’ season, it’s a daily blessing that sylvain does not have to worry about oppressive heat, and gets to make fun of those less equipped for cold at the same time.

i’ll be switching to using an ask banner from now on, thanks to this beautiful commission ( the art, i take full blame for the slapdash banner-making ) by laurencin on twitter! i’ll be adding this to my credits page once it’s up as well.

Dimitri’s still for a few minutes, warmth flooding his chest and his face. The hand– “Well, if you must, then I’ll return the favor in kind…,”
A rather playful smile spread on his face as he took the hand that was once holding Dimitri’s own to Sylvain’s mouth to kiss its back.
how did he keep doing that? a simple reversal was all it took to get sylvain caught off guard, when anyone else-- ...geez. unused to being on the defensive as he was, he quickly brought his unclaimed hand up to pinch lightly at dimitri’s reddened cheek with a grin. “blushing that easy, huh? you’re not gonna survive me if that’s all it takes.”

bienaimee replied to your post: “that’s fair.” this is about the murder, nothing…
<:)
“What do you think it means? I’ve simply got blood on my hands.”
“right you are...” but now that he could just do this... he pulled one of those hands up to give it a quick kiss. “and i’m gonna keep loving it.”

🏹- For a talent they wish they had !!
“i’m really jealous of all you writers, painters, musicians… i’m happy to be a patron of the arts, but sometimes it’d be nice to put some beauty in the world too, you know? to be able to create something that didn’t exist before, and make other people happy… i could never pull it off.”

🌧 & 🙃
🌧- for a heavy, emotional secret
“growing up, i was pretty hopeless, y’know? got into a lot of trouble, got myself hurt in a lot of stupid ways. there was one time, this fancy outdoor wedding between some lesser nobles in the area, i was like eleven so of course i was bored out of my mind. the way everybody tells it, i jumped in the river to ruin my fancy clothes and get out of staying for the wedding.”
“thing is.. i was taking a nap under a tree, and i didn’t wake up until i hit the water. i said i just fell in, but… lucky i’m a good swimmer, i guess. i ended up spending the whole wedding soaking wet with everyone glaring at me whenever i coughed up some water, heh…”
🙃- for a lighter, slightly embarrassing secret
“soooo back at the academy, one time i was bringing a girl back to my room, right? and juuust as we were about to pass by dimitri’s room, his door started opening, and i panicked, because he had lectured me that day about working harder, but it’s not like i could cancel a date right? so anyway.. i knew felix was training. so his room would be empty. i kinda pulled her into felix’s room and pretended it was mine.”
“turns out, swords on the wall? not as big a dealbreaker as i’d expect! she said i was ‘more of a bad boy than she thought.’”

❤️, 🌟, ☢️
❤️- for a secret crush
“crushes are… kinda weird, you know? i.. it was hard to tell what was real.” he swallowed a bit roughly. “for all the people i dated, none of them ever made me feel like it’s supposed to feel. my heart never fluttered for anyone i kissed, or brought back to my room, or dated… realizing the real thing always kinda came too late to do anything about it. and besides, if i…”
a stretch of silence. “a part of me thought… if i can fix myself. if i can be worth having. maybe dedue.”
🌟- for a secret wish or desire of theirs
“if i could… i’d destroy that thing. the lance of ruin… everybody’s has some poetic or powerful name, and mine just says what it does. what a lame joke. i don’t know how to do it, and i do know that if i tried, i’d be stopped. it’s just.. always taunting me.”
☢️- for a controversy or scandal they have been able to keep mostly under wraps
he looks truly exhausted at the subject, but a secret comes out all the same. “the number of girls who’ve pretended to be pregnant with my child in an attempt to get a ring out of me… whatever number you’d guess, add a couple more just to be safe. those were the ones that got the occasional bit of hush money from my father if he was feeling generous– he’d just remind me at the same time that i should consider making it real.”
#look..... these are being told to the Void. so its not weird#that he is saying that when dedue sent it#florexfugit#★★ HEADCANONS!

🌟
🌟- for a secret wish or desire of theirs
“this is probably gonna sound kinda ridiculous, since i’m not even the margrave yet, and even when i take the position there’s so much more to it than just wanting it, but… i wanna pursue peace with sreng. we’ve been fighting all my life– and for about two hundred years before that too, and they did not make fending off the empire and empire loyalists any easier while we searched for dimitri. but it’s not like i can blame them. faerghus really screwed them over, took advantage of them not having a centralized army and just took whatever we wanted. sreng lost over half their country to faerghus, and that was just when i was a kid. if i could help bridge the gap between fódlan and sreng.. maybe give back what we took…”
he sighed, and shook his head. “like i said, it sounds ridiculous. i’m not even the kinda guy who could get it done, it’d take someone way smarter.”
