His shaky response failed to reassure her.

Meredith pressed her lips together, unconvinced. She set the basket on the path before approaching him, long skirt hitched up slightly and each step careful to avoid slipping herself. She’d had plenty of practice navigating this terrain, but she knew better than to test her luck. Especially with the mud from recent rainfall making the rocks even more slippery.

Upon reaching him, the lightkeeper offered him a calloused hand. “Let me help you up, at least.” Her tone, though warm and patient as ever, left no room for argument. “Are you hurt anywhere?”

Seamus struggled to answer — the wind knocked out of his lungs makes it difficult to do much of anything — letting out a wheeze of a cough before he nodded.

“ Yep — ‘m - ‘m fine, miss, ” he managed to cough out as he rolled himself onto his side in an attempt to push himself up.

His ears rang, but it was nothing compared to how his back ached. Shaking his head seemed to marginally help. He propped himself up on folded arms against the ground and shut his eyes for a few seconds. He’d had worse falls, he’d be fine.

“ Thanks, though. ”

considering adding another background character in the lighthouse family’s story as a muse here,,,

[liighthouse]

meredith has never left llewellyn. it would take extreme circumstances for her to leave willingly. as the lightkeeper, she is tethered to the lighthouse and cannot travel far from it. venturing beyond the town’s borders would result in dire consequences.

the lighthouse itself would essentially have a breakdown without her. its walls would slowly crack, the paint peeling away, saltwater warping the floor. its small connected house — meredith and megan’s home — would also suffer: the plumbing breaking, the roof leaking. megan could try to handle her mother’s responsibilities, but her abilities are limited without more training. eventually, the lighthouse’s ever-present light would begin flickering and fading.

llewellyn has never gone long without a lightkeeper, but misfortune plagued its few months without one. the cadigans have always reassumed their role in the end. they’re a resourceful bunch (and mostly loyal).

as meredith’s apprentice, megan is also connected to the lighthouse. however, the thread tying her to it is much thinner. this means she can leave the town with less serious repercussions. the lighthouse would still miss her and feel emptier in her absence, though. as meredith’s only child, megan is destined to assume the position of lightkeeper eventually, at which point she’d be tethered just like meredith.

On Anon or not, send “Plot:” + describe something you really want to RP with my muse or something you want to see my muse do (if it’s to/with another RPer, list their username) and I’ll rate it:

fuck no || not really interested || huh?? || give me more details… || sure why not || OMFG YES

“are you alright?” gentle concern filled meredith’s voice. she stood safely on the path above the rocky coast, a basket brimming with herbs and flowers in her grasp. she peered down at the other, worry lining her expression. “that looked like a nasty fall.”

hey psa but when people post headcanons, or metas, or even random little posts with a fun fact about their muse, like the post. if you don’t want to clutter your likes, comment with a ( ❤️️ ) emoji. interact with the people you follow. everyone has posted something about their muse before that they were excited about that no one acknowledged, and everyone knows how disheartening it is. it doesn’t take long or cost you anything, and it could literally make someone’s day. i think we as a community need to try harder to appreciate and encourage everyone’s effort in developing their characters, especially if they’re your mutuals. if you follow someone, show them why.

- boops nose - (the return of dani and delwyn. and yes she brought him fish)

cat meme - accepting!

sharp teeth snapped down on her finger like a tiny bear-trap! not hard enough to break skin, though. just a warning bite. “don’ do tha’” he cautioned, her finger still caught in his mouth, voice muffled. the audacity. his tail flicked back and forth in irritation.

then a fishy smell reached him. nose twitching, he released her finger and backed a few steps away from her — hoping to spot the source of the scent, but unwilling to risk more boops. “smells like you’ve got something better than bread this time.”

[liighthouse]

Shit I’ve said to my cat; sentence starters

“What are you doing?”

“What did you knock over?”

“Don’t eat that!”

“What’s in your mouth? What do you have in your mouth?!?”

“Plastic isn’t food.”

“How did you get up there?”

“Are you stuck? You got yourself up there, you can get down.”

“I have to pee – can you move?”

“It’s so early, please stop.”

“I haven’t seen you in hours. Where were you hiding?”

“I know you’re trying to tell me something, I just don’t know what.”

“Don’t be mean! I’m just trying to love you!”

“You’re just the cutest thing ever.”

-points to mirror-  “That’s you!”

“I’m trying to take a picture of you, please stop moving.”

“You haven’t moved in hours.”

“How can you be such a bed hog? You’re so tiny!”

“You have the cutest nose.”

“Look at those feet-ies!”

“You’re like a gargoyle up there.”

“Don’t bite me, that’s rude.”

“You look so comfortable. I wish I could be that comfortable.”

“All you do is sleep and eat. That’s the life.”

“You are so lazy. You would not survive in the wild.”

“Could you blink, or something? You’re starting to freak me out.”

“Those squirrels look like they’re doing something shifty.”
