she shrinks back at the contact — no fault of rhaenys' , but base instinct on arushi's part , " huh ? oh . " realization hits . she can only hope the amalgam of sparkles obscure the dusting of pink across her cheekbones . " a scrooge ? no way . plus , macro glitter makeup is , like , so over . i don't think i've touched the stuff since 2018 . " fun at the time , especially to a nascent lifestyle vlogger chasing trends ; not so much in hindsight , though . " it should only be in boat paint , where it belongs . " brunette concludes with a scrunch of her nose .
❛ come here . ❜ index finger and freshly manicured nail beckons companion closer , ❛ you have glitter all over your cheek . ❜ one of the many hazards of ornament making , in many ways far more nefarious than hot glue ; burns ease , glitter is eternal . nose wrinkles at feeble attempt to wipe away the shimmer , only to be made worse by her ministrations . �� would you call me a scrooge if i said there should be a ban on the stuff ? ❜

initially , skepticism furrows maika's brow as she meets the man's gaze . she wonders , fleetingly , if this is some sort of ploy ; for what she couldn't muster just yet . but as she examines the keyring more thoroughly , notes the logo on the key fob that's known but not familiar like hers , the crease between her eyebrows smooths out . it's clear as day — he's right . " well , that explains a lot . " could she already be losing her edge without training , to miss such an obvious detail ? as requested , she holds the keys ( his keys , aren't they ) out in her palm , " they aren't even the same brand . how does that happen ? " she muses aloud with an indignant huff .

" i'm afraid our keys have been mixed up. " dark and sullen voice approaches individual before him. there was nothing more annoying than uneducated people making mistakes where he was involved. he'd somehow been swayed by his sibling to come to this resort and considering he was no allowed by melessa to bring work papers the eldest florent found himself in an uneasy powerless situation. " if you do not mind handing me the key you have received I will give you yours. "

doe eyes dart between brother and his creation , not wanting to speak , lest uncertainty seep into her words . arushi attempts a more in - depth look , but gains no insight from it ; this ornament really could be anything . " aren't the handmade ones kinda … supposed to be bad ? that's , like , part of the charm , " she ventures . ' rustic ' would be the word to use with anyone else , but she doesn't want to completely hide the truth of her thoughts from amos . " maybe you can do one of these wooden disks instead . no glue required . " she holds up her own , with a half - painted christmas tree at its center .

"This isn't turning out." Amos looked to the ornament in his hand, covered in more glitter than he ever thought he would be, glue drying on his fingers as he tried to hold it in place, but the pieces soon clattered back to the table, leaving him no closer to his goal than he was when he sat at the table. He sighed, hands resting on the table. "I thought it would be a nice tradition to start, handmade ornaments. It looked a lot easier when the kids were doing it. You can't even tell what this is supposed to be."

arushi has , perhaps , never quite understood the phrase , ' like a car wreck ' until this moment . it is truly a struggle to look away . so , she doesn't , back arching to sit closer , " oh shit . " the words fly out faster than she can stop them . a hand still claps over her mouth , even if she knows it's too late . " um … there has to be someone around here who can fix it . right ? " arushi adds on , once somewhat more composed . it's a difficult thing when someone else is unsettled . " or … i - i can look something up ? "
blinked once, twice. stylus hung loosely in her hand, mouth slightly agape. her laptop screen a taunting blue before it finally snapped to black. all her work --- dead. gone. never to return. "aha." the sound falling from her lips sounded too desperate to be called laughter. and yet, strained smile stretched across her face as she turned to @ravasz @ichorsveined @heavnle. "it's broken, i think." was her eye twitching? "ha. ha ha ha."

" aw . " as she scooches her compostable cup aside to make room , a smile ekes out from neutral expression , " well , it's not all bad . gives me an excuse to pay a visit , so i can hold onto theirs for now … " ' if you want ? ' a question without saying so . out of the bags in the seat next to her , she takes up a box roughly the size of her hand , setting it on the table . " … but this one's for you . papa wanted me to mention it's from all of us . " a beat , as another , more mischievous smile forms . " but between you and me , i'm the one who picked it out . "
they finally make it to the cafe, catching sight of familiar face in the window. shyra slips through excited crowd to @ichorsveined. in lieu of hello, shyra sets two bags before maika, half smile gracing features. "blue's from pa, and red's from kyra. they're sorry they couldn't make it to give their gifts in person, but what am i if not a useful messenger?"

a small nod , attention back to the schematic layout of their gingerbread creation , piecing together a picture of the final product in their mind , " eh , it was worth a try . " candy cane held between pointer and middle fingers to speak clearly , their voice bears no disappointment , already anticipating a similar answer . bronte has tried not to take their distance personally , to varying degrees of success . " yeah , last i saw him , he was off to play beatsaber . " it could be fun , they suppose , from what they'd seen of him playing at home . perhaps bronte would try it when their backlog of reading material runs out . " i heard there's a skiing game too . what's the point of that , anyway ? i could see it anywhere else , but … here ? "
“ yeah , you're on your own , pal . if laenor had asked i might have but uh . . . this looks like a mess . ” hand gestures to the arrangement of confectionary treats , just the sight making her teeth hurt . “ you may have better luck with him in the game room . they have that virtual reality headset in there . ” cautious in her advice as she and bronte were cordial , at best . result of distance baela purposefully put between family , familial bonds easier to regain with siblings rather than the wife of her deceased brother . a difference with adults rather than with laenor , though his teenaged years may prove difficult for them both .

nothing raises their alarm when they first walk back into the kitchen . no , only a voice makes their fear ( dread , even ? ) spike . once close enough , gaze shifts from muffin tin to dalton and back again . twelve mini muffins , reduced to a measly six . they blink once , slowly , " dalton greyjoy , you rapscallion , you salty sea dog . how could you do this . " monotone , a facsimile of calm . " those were for my sister . " with her index finger , she pulls the tin out of his reach , arms folding over her chest , " are you ready to tell her she has to wait another hour for her favorite muffins ? " why does it feel like she's talking to laenor ?
CLOSED STARTER ✦ @ichorsveined , @disrcpairs , @sacrificeds location: the kitchens
activities were enough to satiate the need for distractions. take his mind off what he promised he would leave back home. perhaps a little too much because the hunger growls, clawing its way from his stomach. on the counter, what unfortunate fate came to the muffins — enticing, scrumptious, and definitely not dalton greyjoy's fruit of labor. ❝ fuck, were these yours ? ❞ negotiations were his thing, and he liked to think he can talk his way out of any trouble he'd gotten himself into. like he always does.

" well , hey , if you need more material — i haven't received a single normal dm since i got here . " now immortalized in a folder of other screenshots to make herself laugh after a particularly long day . eyes roll playfully , " no , prepping for dinner . this winter squash won't chop itself . " spine of her knife scrapes loudly against the cutting board , as if to say ' weren't you listening ? ' but she couldn't exactly blame mel if they hadn't . maika , too , delighted in dragging others ; there was a reason she enjoyed the podcast beyond happening to know the host . squash cubes now spread evenly across the sheet pan , she stops short of drizzling oil over them , setting the bottle down and popping out a hip , " and to think i considered baking cookies for you later . but with that attitude … ? " she sucks her teeth in mock disapproval .
' i love being sent people to drag . it makes my job that much easier . ' supposedly on vacation , but just as everyone else was , still locked to their phone and various socials to monitor . while mel would've preferred to have been in the comfort of their own home with their studio and everything else to rave and cackle at people , the change of scenery was a nice change of pace . ' what are you doing over there ? baking christmas cookies ? ' mel asked sarcastically , though fresh baked cookies did sound good . @ichorsveined, @steelfyre

as the nickname rings in her ear , her bearing goes rigid , as if flash - frozen by the winterfell air . but the chill hasn't affected her for years . she recovers quickly , turning on heel to face the other woman , " helaena , " maika replies with equal sweetness , though the shine of genuine enthusiasm toward her former sister - in - law is absent from storm - dark eyes . barely contained contempt takes its place , " how many times have i told you not to call me that ? " she continues once the other is close enough , out of range from prying ears . her smile remains , just a bit too sharp , " i'm surprised you had the time to grace us with your presence . " and by the seven , does she wish helaena hadn't . maybe then her northern holiday really would be peaceful .
closed starter ›› maika templeton , @ichorsveined
❝ mai ! ❞ the resort might not allow official paparazzi inside but so many in this day and age hungered for their five minutes of fame. self declared insiders were constantly looking for juicy gossip to sell. pop princess would only leave them with glowing tales. so nickname was coated in sweetness; her smile sparkled. ❝ i'm so happy we get to spend the holidays together again. last christmas wasn't the same. ❞ celebrating with her family and friends instead of her late husband and his relatives had been far better.

#westeros.modernau#ch: bronte velaryon#bronte: task#(their lack of real biographical information is intentional? ish?)#(i imagine they don't enjoy making waves‚ much like in the main verse and private in general)#(but people around them have a bigger presence fame-wise so bronte is like... known *of* but not really known *about*‚ ya know)#(anyway i've been wrestling with this for hours i give up)
