❛ it’s okay, you can touch me. i won't break. ❜ // @seraphenette

        ❛ Annie — ❜ There’s was no winning with the Reaping for the Quarter Quell. It was either Annie or Mags. He wouldn’t choose one over the other. He couldn’t. He didn’t want to consider who had a longer life ahead of them. He loved them both. In different ways, but they were such permanent fixtures in his life that he would take even a heartbeat more with them safe and well. They were his family. Mags had practically raised him.

        Finnick couldn’t have both. Not in this life. Not in this world. It drove him mad.

        And Annie — Mags had been chosen, and he’d felt a relief flood through him. That he didn’t have to see her break. More. Again. But for all his love for her, he hadn’t expected for her to take Mags’ place. She wouldn’t survive another Games. Damn, he loved her. He did. But —

        Neither would Mags. All of this was so fucked.

        When she’d volunteered herself, he’d turned to her on the podium, coiled like a spring — ❛ Annie — ❜ He’d said her name back then as he did now. Soft, reverent, a whisper beneath the cheers and applause. He hadn’t let the mask drop. Only Annie could see through it, if she tried — but she was somewhere else. The Capitol’s Darling, though he’d pulled her close all the same. He’d heard her screams in her sleep and of the terrors that awoke her.

        He'd been careful to appear as if a former mentor. Loose with his hold, light with a pat atop her head. Only a quick kiss to her crown. Quiet promises that he’d protect her, he’d keep her safe. And then he’d stepped away, staring into the crowd with a charming smile and blank eyes.

        Now was different. Now they were alone. But he’d been keeping his distance. If he touched he knew that he’d break.

        ❛ You volunteered. ❜ He couldn’t downplay what she’d done. It wasn’t right. He swallowed, on the fringes of a panic himself. No, he’d been panicking, he just didn’t want to show it. So he cupped her cheek, brushed his thumb against it. ❛ My brave Annie. ❜

        But he couldn’t last. Just as he had during the Reaping, he pulled her close. This time, his hold was firm. He pressed a kiss to the top of her head. And when he spoke, his voice was carefully level, carefully strong, though tears formed in his eyes, began to roll down his face.

        ❛ I’ll find a way for both of us to survive. We’ll get out of this. I’ll find a way ... ❜

one liner call for mathilda just so i can get used to her muse

physical traits

eye color:  chocolate. hair color:  golden blonde. height:  6'. body build:  tall & muscular. amazonian. tattoos & pierchings:  ears. notable physical traits:  a piercing gaze that can cut through the toughest of armor, that only softens when she is among those that she loves. an imposing stature that instills a fear in others & demands respect from any and all.

personality

intelligence:  though trained as a knight from a young age, mathilda was still granted the sort of education that would befit any noble of her status. she is well-versed in military tactics, geography, diplomacy & literature, though due to her father she’s retained a rather blunt way of speaking. she likes to get right to the point, even if some may deem that sort of behavior to be not becoming of a lady. likes:  clive, fernand, clair, the deliverance, her sisters. dislikes:  traitors, rough foods. disposition:  mathilda carries herself with an air of confidence born from countless years serving as a knight. her will to fight is unmatched by all, coming from the want to see everyone come out of this war alive. within the deliverance she fills the role of both a leader and a protector of those under her care, but none more so than clive, her lover of many years. there is little that can shake her. only the idea of bringing clive shame and losing those she cares about would stop her in her tracks.

as the eldest of five, mathilda has always been a role model for her younger sisters to look up to, and that is no different for the younger members of the deliverance. since she’s one of its founders, mathilda takes it far more seriously than anyone else—save for, perhaps, clive, who often buries his emotions beneath his duty and earns a great deal of her worry.

extras:  mathilda was always the talk of the castle during her stay there prior to its fall, and captured the hearts of many with her strength. she was already a legend by the time desaix took over, forcing her to flee. none cared that she was only a woman as one’s worth was judged equally on the battlefield, and she was a stronger knight than zofia’s finest men.

mathilda has a refined palate due to being born and raised as a noble, however, she does not mind the flavor of rations. she knows them to be necessary to survive during the conditions in which they’re required. but outside of that, she prefers to stick to only the meatiest, tastiest, and richest foods.

mathilda feels immense guilt for allowing zofia castle to fall, and even more from being captured. as such, she’s gone to even greater lengths to show off her skills on the battlefield and defend those around her.

parties were never something that mathilda enjoyed. when forced to look “pretty” and dress up, she becomes incredibly dour. according to clive, being dressed up takes away from her radiance and that she is far more beautiful when she is herself. it is for that reason that she loves him, among many others.

historia. mathilda is the eldest of five sisters and the heir to house friedrich. she comes from a long line of knights, though it was her father’s exploits that earned her family the noble titles they now bore. when her father perishes or gives his land to her, she will inherit the title of baroness and be responsible for fulfilling the duties that were once his. mathilda, before any titles, is revered as a legendary knight throughout the realm whose heroic exploits would bring passion to young knights for centuries to come. they all aspire to be as powerful and kind as the legendary valkyrie mathilda. and perhaps half as devoted to their country and lovers.

of course, a woman as grand as that needed to have her start somewhere. that somewhere was the eastern coast of valentia, south of the castle and north of the southern outpost which fell inside her father’s lands. she grew up out on the vast plains, surrounded by horses and weapons, training day in and day out to become even half the knight her father was. back then, she didn’t know she’d outmatch him with her own accomplishments.

with no brothers to speak of, mathilda was something of a black sheep in her family. none of her sisters dared touch a weapon, instead flocking to her as their protector. such things, for a time, elicited the scorn of other men her age. it wasn’t until she proved herself on the battlefield that those men changed their mindsets and instead began to fall at her feet not unlike her foes.

she eventually was sent by her father to serve at zofia castle. the castle itself was full of knights that were complacent with sitting in the lap of luxury, failing to acknowledge the consequences of that sort of life. they were lazy, and it was something the woman had took notice of immediately. and so she made efforts to change the mindsets of those knights. just as she had as a child, she worked harder than anyone to prove her worth. soon she had achieved a high rank within the order, her tempestuous beauty and battle prowess igniting the fires of passion within the hearts of many throughout the realm.

by the time that she meets clive and fernand, she’s already made a name for herself. before long, she’s caught clive’s eye in another way, and after sharing a dance at the winter ball, the two begin courting.

after zofia castle falls to desaix’s forces, mathilda is captured and held at his fortress. she waits, knowing that her clive will come for her so she may fight as his side once more. when fernand appears instead, she is both hopeful and confused. but by then he was a different man, a man who’d been born when his old self had died in the flames that took his family. she could see from how he looked at her that he was not there to save her. it was just like taking a lance through the heart to hear him admit to what she feared, claiming that things would’ve ended differently had it been him who’d held her heart. she doesn’t quite believe him, though.

though she didn’t know fernand nearly as well as clair and clive did, she is shaken nearly as much as the both of them by his death beneath duma tower. she tries her best, in the end, to forget the man he’d become and only remembering the good times that the four of them shared when things were better. some part of her could never accept the truth of everything that had transpired as it was.

once the war comes to a close, mathilda takes up the title of baroness and succeeds her father as the head of house friedrich. rather than retire from the knighthood like many had suggested, she joins clive as a co-leader of the one kingdom’s brotherhood of knights. she could never lay down her lance and allow others to decide the fate of the world. that wouldn’t change, even when she and clive start their family together.

after all, a valkyrie never wavers.

zorkaya​ | zarina.

@cindrelle​ (satou yuuki)​

It takes a lot for Crowley to get Zarina to actually help out a ‘poor student’ in need of help in returning his belongings after being throw out of class. It seemed that certain books were left behind. If not for the headmaster’s irritating additions to his speech, the woman would’ve said that she was busy, but alas, she wasn’t. If anything, getting closer to the infamous student with no magic who appeared out of nowhere in the beginning ceremony was far more intriguing than anything else. Either this young man was a downright lunatic who says he came from another world or he is indeed someone who comes from a world beyond their own. It seems fun. Plus, he’s got that little cat running around. As a good junior (despite being transferred), Morozova wishes to help out. 

This is how she finds herself at the Ramshackle dorm with a small basket made as a peace offering and a way to start a friendship. Food has always been a right way to go, especially handmade and prepared with care. It didn’t seem like Ramshackle dorm had anything going for it, it was in shambles and she almost pitied the one who was thrown into this building. Their Headmaster wasn’t anything close to kind in this regard, but she won’t speak of it. 

Already upon stepping the land does she greet the ghosts and they greet her back, asking for an autograph. She gives it to them for a small favor: do not disrupt her conversations with the Prefer here for an hour or so. It’s taken and she thanks the sweet lads before knocking on the door. She waits for a bit more before ringing, patiently waiting for the other to come and open the door. Upon hearing the footsteps, Zarina turns with her back to the door, all to make her ‘entrance’ seem a bit more mysterious and, well, interesting. Once the door opens does she turn around with a soft smile to greet Satou Yuuki. 

“ Ah… Good afternoon. I apologize for coming to your dorm without prior invitation. My name is Zarina Morozova, I am a junior here. I was asked by Headmaster to deliver your books back to you, ” she makes sure her voice sounds soft and friendly as she wishes not to disturb the other or bring any negative connotations. She is curious, she does want to speak more to this student. Where are they from, who are they, why do they hang out with a beast like Grim. “ Oh, and I’ve heard that you do not have a kitchen here. I’ve also brought some sandwiches. I’ve heard how tough it was to get any food during lunch time. The ghosts told me you haven’t had anything for lunch. I hope I’m not overstepping my boundaries. I’ve also brought some canned tuna for your friend Grim as well. ” The information dump is over and she remains smiling, wishing for nothing but to offer assistance and start a path towards befriending the other. It’s in her personal best interest, nothing malicious. In this case, her entertainment is purely genuine. 

“ Would you like me to leave everything here or would you like me to bring everything inside? I hope I’m not intruding upon anything. ”

        it’s not the first time that yuu has been thrown out of class.  from back home in tokyo,  to wherever the hell nights raven academy exists in this multiverse.  frankly,  thinking about it like that is the only way in which he can cope.  it’s just like those american comics,  right ?  all the same,  he doesn’t mind slinking off to his dorm now that he’d gotten off with a warning.  just this once.  all it took was suggesting that kicking out a poor,  troubled student wouldn’t be all that magnanimous,  and he should give yuu a chance to get over all this stress of being in a new world.  it was kinda ridiculous,  but,  hey,  he’d take it.  maybe the only downsides were that now he was stuck with grim,  as they’re one student for stupid fucking reasons,  and he’d not been able to grab his books before being thrown out.  and no food to speak of.

        he’s curled up with a comic book that he’d borrowed from ace when there’s a knocking at the door that yuu,  of course,  ignores.  it isn’t until the ringing starts that the prefect lets out a groan and tosses his occupation aside.  hair that’d been let loose is quickly tied back into a high ponytail as the student all but stumbles to the door.  reaching it,  he yanks it open with a half - careless,  half - calculated  “  yo  ”.  to say that he’d expected this particular visitor  (  the hell was she facing away like that for ?  )  would be incorrect,  and when she turns to face him,  he’s thrown off by,  well,  a few things.  her smile,  probably the softest sort he’d seen since he’d arrived;  her face,  which is rather pleasing to the eye and not too expected at a typically all boys school unless vil is around;  and the fact that she is familiar despite them never having met.

        it all comes into focus when she speaks her name  ---  and yuu hopes the magazines that deuce had lent him are well out of sight.  less that he’d be embarrassed they feature her heavily and more that they’re the sleazy tmz type.  not that anyone here would understand that.

        “  satou yuuki,  but people usually call me yuu,  ”  he says,  arms folding as he leans against the door frame.  eyes flit to the books that she carried on her person,  then to the small basket upon her mention of the sandwiches.  his face perks up,  as much as it can what with the usual scowl,  a smile forming in its place.  it was almost as if she’d read his mind,  really,  for the only other thing yuu had been dreading had been the fact that it would be difficult to acquire food now that he was the school day was through.  “  sweet !  crowman hasn’t given us shit.  thought i was gonna have t’ start licking the paint off the damn walls !  ”  a pretty face and promise of food ?  how could anyone say no when the alternative was grim’s mangy ass and starvation ?

        “  come right on in !  ”  he steps aside,  holding the door open so that she can move inside unbothered.  “  ya wouldn’t be intrudin’.  i’d appreciate company other than what i’ve got.  ”

smugful​ | modrow.

                    Oh he was such a pain. Fernand couldn’t help but think to himself all but sighing at the other’s response. Frankly if it weren’t for the concern of the other staff members and the occasional student he wouldn’t be here. It was so much easier for him to keep his nose out of the business of people he disliked ( Lukas ) but here he was anyway, on the behalf of others. Wasn’t he so kind ? And yet despite this, the ginger blatantly ignored what he had said. Perhaps it would be easier to personally carry the other out of the room and toss him into his truck, though for whatever reason he opted for the more uncomfortable method.  

                    “ Yes I’m aware. ” He answered flatly. ( It was almost as if he ALSO had exams to plan..!! )  “ Even so that doesn’t change what I said. Everyone else is going home, don’t get self important and run yourself ragged on ‘ your students ’ behalf. ” He continued, glaring at the other with just as much malice as was usual whenever the universe demanded they crossed paths. Perhaps even more in a moment if the other didn’t change his attitude. 

                   “ If you don’t perhaps I should stay behind to make sure that half of your tests aren’t baseless nonsense that will trouble your students even more. ” Brown eyes flicked to a nearby chair, tucked away in a desk. It wasn’t like he WANTED to sit and watch him work, but he would be damned if the fawning of the other staff members didn’t cease because of a certain someone overworking himself. 

        oh,  for the love of  ---  lukas knows he knows.  why must everything he says be taken at its worst interpretation and met with veiled scorn ?  if not outright toxicity,  that is.  perhaps he would never understand,  but now’s not the time to question his coworker.  it’s never been so difficult to still his tongue lest he say anything else unbecoming what with the rhythmic throbbing behind his eyes,  fernand’s incessant prattling serving as quite the icing on the cake.  even in this state,  it’s not hard to read between the lines.  someone had had to have said something,  otherwise one whom lukas would consider to be his greatest enemy would never dare to force him to rest.

        “  thank you for your concern.  ”  arms fold,  lips pressing into a thin line as he pretends to consider his threat.  it is troubling that he’s so obvious as to incur the worries of others,  but the reality still remains that he’d taken on a second advanced placement class this year,  meaning there was another exam to prepare for on top of standardized tests.  there’s simply no time to waste.  just because he doesn’t teach until ninth period doesn’t mean he can just leave.  ignoring fernand’s presence would have to do.  “  but  ---  and i hope you will forgive me for saying this  ---  your worries are unfounded.  ”  rather than address his argument in more depth,  lukas gestures to the very same chair with the most polite smile he can muster.

           “  so,  by all means,  make yourself comfortable,  modrow.  ”  when he takes a seat at his desk and pulls out the key for the exam he’d planned for two days hence,  there’s a blink - and - you’ll - miss - it tug of his lips,  as if he’d delivered truly witty remark and shattered his bully’s confidence all in one,  though lukas knows he could never be so lucky or so cruel.  small,  deluded victories as it felt like his head was to split in two.

@cindrelle​ (leona kingscholar)​

There are many reasons for her to dislike the presence of another in the botanical garden. As much as people seem to praise Leona Kingscholar, she feels not even an ounce of respect or wish to be polite to the man. It’s unfair coming from her, but personal experience and personal judgement are irrational in this case. The one who sat seemingly in Heavens with his royal blood and the one who climbed the stairs from the shadows, learning the reality of this world and its unfairness. She heard her classmates chuckle upon stating that despite being born on the very same day neither of them were that similar besides their pride. It was sickening to her, she couldn’t stand being compared to someone who was willingly sitting back and letting countless opportunities escape. 

The luxury lifestyle given to him from the moment he was born, her own judgement told her that this was a type of person who she could not respect until there would be more information. Just because he came from a place of power meant nothing if a person was not showing their skillset and were not improving themselves, climbing on top no matter what others said. Endlessly, she remembers countless people who she had to step on and break their metaphorical bones to be where she is now. As entertainment is a sweet industry to remain in. Underworld taught her ways to dominate, she wonders if his majesty knows of similar unfair ways. How unfair and cruel of her to have such a thought process when it came to Leona Kingscholar, it’s not that they even interacted much. Her distaste didn’t come from ignorance, the man was skilled and talented, she knew it and she accepted it. The fact that he wasn’t using those much from skipping classes and staying a year behind made her frown ever so lightly inside her mind. 

“ I’ve been here for a while. I cannot believe you are missing Trein’s class again, Kingscholar, ” Zarina doesn’t even look up at him as she makes sure to sit more comfortably on the small chair she brought while having a guitar in her hands. The notes and the words float before her, the name of the song: ‘Mermaid’s Curse’ can be seen to the other. Not that she thinks he might remotely care. “ Either sleep here with me playing the music or find another place to nap. I have a job and you’ll have to carry me out if you want me to gone. ” How grateful she is to Crewel for letting her miss today’s class as she already gave her papers and assignments prior to this class, stating she studied two chapters ahead and won’t be missing anything.  

“ Actually, if you can listen to one song and tell me how it sounds, I’ll limit myself to playing three songs altogether and leave you to nap here alone. How does that sound? I need an unbiased opinion. ” Golden gaze shifts from words to the the Savanaclaw’s Dorm Leader. She has guts to speak to him like this, with no fear and it is rather rude of her to say it like that. He is the one overlooking this botanical garden (or so she heard) but she had the permission of the staff to be here. Not only that, but Zarina was fully aware that she was speaking to a prince. Well, she didn’t seem to care at all. “ I do apologize for having the audacity to speak to you like this, but times call for desperate measures. ” 

        his royal highness doesn’t take too kindly to having his afternoon naps interrupted,  less so when it’s due to some plant - eater encroaching upon his territory.  green eyes are fixed on her long before she speaks,  lips twisted in a preemptive sneer.  perhaps he should be grateful that this one hadn’t been so rude as to step on his tail,  but the ruckus she’d made upon entering,  her chittering,  and now that blasted instrument  ...  it does little to make up for that fact.  how insufferable.  “  it’s none of your business what i do.  ”  hand propped in cheek,  tail swishing,  he debates the logistics of chasing her off.  though,  if there’s anything he’s learned in the savanna,  it’s not to mess with women,  and it’s for that reason alone that he gives her the time of day.  even if her presence brought with it great disturbance.

        so he bides his time,  stretching.  carrying her out of here doesn’t seem too appealing either.  something tells leona that he wouldn’t come out of the encounter in one piece,  just as if he’d settled things like they do at home.  the only option there really is  ...  is to ignore her.  leona is about to curl back into a sleeping position when she speaks again.  ears flatten against the top of his head,  though morozova is still offered an appraising glance.  she’s bargaining as if he’d any reason to care for her silly songs.  they’d certainly fall on deaf ears.  then again,  he could bullshit his way through this encounter and get her out of his hair quicker and maybe still squeeze in a proper nap before practice that afternoon.

        “  i don’t  ---  ”  he starts at her final quip,  then gives up,  finding it not worth saying.  for him to be speaking this much at all when she’s this much of a pest is quite the anomaly to begin with.  perhaps it’s because she won’t shut up.  (  or maybe it’s since her voice has always been everywhere:  the news,  television,  movies,  commercials.  successes that he could never have for there will always be someone or something standing in his way.  things he wants but can never have:  a victory over malleus,  popularity,  a throne.  it’s easy to disregard her existence.  except for when she’s sitting here,  taking something that’s rightfully his.  the only thing he really has:  his time,  his patience,  his peace and quiet.  )  teeth flash for the briefest of moments before he retakes his napping position.  perked ears are the only evidence of his attention,  settled on his side,  back facing her.

        “  get on with it.  then leave.  ”

peachtune​ | kliff !

          “ Perhaps when we get there I may get the chance. Though that’s not to go on record saying that I’m  EXPLICITLY  planning to. ” He  HAD  to say it. Call it a disclaimer should there be anyone else to overhear their conversation— though he doubted there was any such person around and so it was purely for his own fun.

     “  But enough about that— though I’m quite sure someone is already plotting a means to keep me as quiet as possible— I’m certain you didn’t come out here to talk about ballroom etiquette. In fact, you hadn’t meant to speak with  ME  at all. Am I interrupting your downtime ?  ”

          All too quickly he was ready to dismiss their conversation. After all, he did choose this location to be alone himself. It was shaded and far away enough from the others that they could be heard but  EASILY  tuned out. Most probably wouldn’t find their way here without express purpose. It was an ideal spot for someone like Kliff.

        so bewildering  ---  one moment the conversation had seemed to be going particularly well and the next clair is getting the impression that she should,  perhaps,  make herself scarce.  had she said something ?  it’s not as if they knew each other well.  it’s possible that this entire time,  kliff had simply been entertaining her whims when he’d much rather not talk at all.  it’s worth noting,  though clair dares not express it out loud.

        “  you’re not interrupting anything,  kliff !  i merely wanted to get to know you more,  especially since we’re traveling together !  ”  a smile is so easily offered,  however,  her expression carries with it a tinge of concern.  either he’s blunt or he really thinks that he’s not worth anyone’s time,  and that’s far more worrying than anything else.

        “  mayhap i should be asking the same of you ?  time is a precious resource  ---  i would not want to unrightfully take it from you.  ”
