her eyes watched carefully , something sullen masks the anger that's bitterly filled within her heart. death was something that she'd been taught was always a part of life. you live , and if lucky long enough to see children grow , and then you die. that was the cycle. it made it harder for her to empathize , but she did. by gods did she because for once her shoes could not weather this ache , she had to put herself in the other's , how she would feel if the tables were reversed. the feeling leaves her with a shroud of emotions that she was not privy to exuding by any compacity. but there lingers her voice , soft and gentle , it wraps around her. tugs at her gut. a slow breath falls past the plush of rosy tiers. "i do struggle with that , most times." feelings. emotions. though currently loud it brings discomfort. especially in front of meilin. "have you heard of karma before?"
「 ˖˙ ᰋ ─ 」 STATUS. ﹕ open. 「 ˖˙ ᰋ ─ 」 LOCATION. ﹕ the streets in the capital, during midday 「 ˖˙ ᰋ ─ 」 FEAT. ﹕ meilin & anyone.
Somberness clung in the air, and yet here she stood, walking around as if it was nothing but it was everything. Too many had been hurt after the attack and while some felt at piece a culprit was caught, the bright flower had felt like she lost it all. Meilin felt guilty, her father was gone, mother was trapped and she was stuck with a mark that felt like a chain. Resting her head against the cold stone behind her after spending sometime in the marketplace before deciding it was bet she head back to where she was being held. "Even the capital feels too quiet, I don't think anyone actually knows how to feel right now." her tone soft. her words sounding almost like a whisper as she spoke to the other. Hopefully believable. she was shown far too much of death in such a short amount of time and it bothered her. But she knew better than to complain like a child, she knew people would expect sadness from her and here she was acting as if her brightness hadn't dull at all.

the silence stirs around them , heavy and suffocating. slender arms perched over her chest , jaw tight and breath far too controlled for comfort. she didn't need to make herself known with him. even now , between the two was an unspoken agreement—when she was near he notices. if she so called for him , he would come. in a room filled to the brim with other voices , he could spot her's from a mile away. his attention , without fail , was always her's to divert.
the soft wind brushes all too perfect curls like gentle waves against her back , tiger eyes far more soft and beady than usual. perking her gaze up to his , searching within them. they were bred of different cloths , that was plain to see. but something deep down inside her loathes the sight she was forced to witness. pale staken cheeks dons a quiet grimace , breath hitched inside her throat as bile threatens to lurch from her chest. quietly she seethes. something about the scorching pain felt on the nape of his neck quarrels like hot rods in the pit of her stomach. she didn't like when other's touched what was her's.
"where are your friends then ? oh wait..." brows raise , lips tugging in a small pout as she slips up on her tip toes , trying to get a better glimpse of the infliction scorned to his neck. trying to understand the damages that have been done. "you might have liked it more if it had come from my hand , no ? even cherished the ache that now sits on the nape of your neck. tell me."
Status: closed For: ilithyia @loyalbledWhere: the royal courtyard
A faint breath of wind rustles through the trees, rocking them into an idle sway, it kisses the ghastly pallor of his skin with the coldest of lips, and he feels his ungloved knuckles burn from it; the feeling is like a distant memory even as takes place, he is only vaguely aware of the discomfort of something perpetually aching in the back of his neck—the aftermath of the trial happened so fast. It's as if he'd blinked—and here he was. It all feels like much of a blur, in retrospect. He can't remember where she was standing, which he usually can—was she even there? Did she watch? She must've. She always does, standing like a pillar of righteousness beside the heavy hand of her father. He can't recall, but he is plagued instead by sporadic flashes of screams, gasps, bursting through his bubble of apparent serenity.
Sure as the sky is blue, vultures come circling when the stench of death lingers; he recognizes that shade of gold from the corners of his eyes without needing to spare so much as a fleeting glance.
It's grating.
His fingers twitch, coiling reflexively.
The labored sigh that exhales through his nostrils feels nearly performative in how loud it is, as if he's trying his hardest to make his displeasure known. "What?" His head turns, finally, sharp and decisive, eyes black and venomous as they fixate on her, and the whole world ceases to exist, trying to figure out what was behind her skull and how it was something so small could contain so much evil, anyway. "...Don't you have any friends to go torment or something?" It teeters on the line of disrespect, which he's ever so mindful not to trip over. "Or are you here to express your disappointment that it wasn't your hand holding the branding iron, your Highness?"

.¸¸.•` [ HALSTON SAGE , CIS FEM , SHE/HER ] the almighty has blessed us once more, it seems ILITHYIA CLARA EISSEN has come to ilthoria. the PRINCESS , brings with them such glorious fortune and they are known for being INTUITIVE but also IRASCIBLE. joy will spark when the TWENTY-NINE year old comes to court. what songs would be sung in their name ? [ BITE THE HAND + BOYGENIUS ] for in the decades to come they will sing of : golden tresses cascades down her back with an ethereal glow as the sun beams upon her , silver spoon tucked between plush rosy tiers , inward dispute of the atrocities dealt by the hands of loves she loves. may enerin bless your soul, welcome to ilthoria child. [ zepplin/zeppy . she/her . 21+ . est . n/a ]
basics.
name : ilithyia clara eissen . nicknames : brat ( derogatory , exclusive use for moyun ) , iliya , princess ( derogatory ) age : 29 official title : princess of ardora gender : cis female with she ⅋ her pronouns orientation : pansexual ⅋ demiromantic .
psyche.
mental : anxiety with fleeting bouts of depression. allergies : none. disabilities : poor eyesight. eating habits : nutritious. fitness : constant walks through her personal garden. sleeping habits : displays constant fragmented sleeping patterns. moral alignment : chaotic neutral. personality type : ENTJ-A , the challenger , big pain in the ass™
you were born with a silver spoon tucked between the plush of your lips. hair as golden and full as the sun beams it's warmth over your people , cheeks soft and rosy in color announcing your innocence to the world. one of the sweetest creatures that ardora had ever laid their eyes on. little did they know the trouble this new bundle of joy would cause them.
never pliant and certainly never tame , you gave your parents and care takers a run for their sanity. while certain siblings played their part well , it was never in your nature to stick to the script. late to every function , lessons never taken too seriously. your outlook on life got you in so much trouble , but never truly enough. you'd never admit it , but you're the apple of your father's eye. you bled something wild , something mirthful. in the tumult of your home you chatter of ambition and it echoes in his ear. it makes him smile , you remind him of the person he once was.
you grow and so do your strengths. you become more poised , yet more stubborn. more wise , yet more impudent. the hunger of power burgeons from the heart , encompassing around you like evergreen vines with dangerous thorns. you find you can get away with so much more when you pretend to care. and maybe , just maybe , you actually do. they think of you as a wildcard. good.
the role you were born into is the role you slowly and wearily strive to harness by only the will of your own desires. wearing gowns as they are meant to be worn with your golden tresses coiled to perfection. always told you were in not need of defense , that your beauty would save you from all. so you taught yourself how to wield a sword , how to emphasize destruction from the tip of your tongue. those knowing , they fear you.
now you bring a presence that cannot be ignored. everything you do you do it effortlessly. suitors seek you out alike , but none of them catch your eye. you understand what you want and what you crave. it is never them.
love aches to be released from somewhere deep inside you , keeping that feeling locked up tight with chains and keys. you hold out for something. it will come , when it is ready.
wanted connections.
