🥯 BAGEL — what does your oc's typical breakfast look like? do they usually eat breakfast?

"A cup of coffee - and that's about it. I might have grabbed a piece of toast here or there when I was still living in Ishgard, but breakfast was never really a thing for me...much to my staff's irritation. They really wanted me to take the time to slow down and eat something. And I just didn't have the time or inclination to. A cup of coffee was more than enough. I had work to do, people to talk do, places to be. Now I'm just not hungry enough in the morning to feel the need to eat something. I just have a cup or two and I'm good to go until sometime in the afternoon. It still earns me a side-eye from my brother when I feel the need to invade his privacy." She shrugged. "As though he's all that good at making sure he eats. Regardless - I take care of myself, I just don't eat breakfast. Often."

Thanks @oh-yeah-no!

DWC - May 2025 - Day 3 - Linger

Never stay in one place too long. 

It was a mantra she’d lived by when she was working in her previous position - she stayed long enough to get what she needed, and never long enough for anyone to notice her. 

A mentality that kept her safe and out of reach - one that she continued to follow.

It was easy enough - the Sirensong moved from port to port, staying put wasn’t much of an option when one’s job kept them on the move the ways hers did now, and even if it hadn’t, the idea of stopping, or even slowing down sent shivers up her spine that even the coldest day in the Coerthas Highlands hadn’t managed to cause. 

If she slowed down then she had to face everything she’d managed to ignore. She’d have to address the pain she pretended didn’t exist. The nagging thoughts that rose to the surface during the long, slow days of travel when she had nothing to do but watch the waves. 

And she simply didn’t have time for that. 

So she kept moving, she never lingered in one place, never allowed herself to slow.

Maybe one day it would all catch up to her - but not today it wouldn’t.
