Caleb waited for her to be done talking. Still he couldn’t help the worried expression nor the sigh that left his lips. He really wasn’t the right person to be giving her advice about this. But he couldn’t just dismiss her. “ This isn’t your problem to solve . You already did so much . ” Jester was an admirable person in so many regards. But her putting pressure on herself to make her parents happy was no way to live. “ These things are complicated , but they’re adults . I’m sure they’ll figure it out on their own , if they don’t . . . I don’t know if you can make it better . “

"there was nothing more you could have done."

                “I don’t know,” She sighs, teeth chewing on the inside of her bottom lip as she looks down, “maybe I could have… I don’t know, thought of a different plan. Or I could’ve come in alone, you know? I could’ve sent him a letter with a drawing of my mama, so he’d, like, get used to the idea or something. Or… or maybe I could’ve asked her to send him one, I could’ve given him his address and stuff! Oh man, I should’ve really done that, he would’ve never been able to say no to a letter from my mama.”

Intro Post

Oh god I forgot how to make these.

Hi everyone! I don’t know how many there are but I’m another Astrid rper. My name is Shiloh, my rules can be checked out here. I am currently caught up, hence partially why I made this blog. Feel free to hit me up with any plots or anything! I can’t promise much activity but I’ll try my best.

If you want any rps with Jester, just let me know, and I can move over to my other blog, sapphireofthesea.

He felt for her, he did. This was a person she trusted. Someone who has been by her side since she was a child. Caleb understood how she found it hard to believe him to be malicious in any way shape or form, but he cared about her. He wanted her to understand there was a possiblity that this was going to go wrong.

“ I have to tell you something, Jester. “ He was still hesitant to tell her this, but  maybe she would understand better if he did. “ I tried looking for information on him . When we were in Zadash before  at the Cobalt Soul . There wasn’t much but in one of the books that mentioned the Angel of Irons as well . . . “ He trailed off, trusting her to understand what he was trying to say.

Caleb frowned at her statement. Doubt clear to read on his face. She was a capable woman, there was no denying that, but careful was another can of worms. The way this conversation had gone one of many examples that could attest to that

He did nod to her next words. They were there for her. To be happy with her if this went well and to fight by her side if it didn’t. “ We will be . But we can’t always go run into everything hoping we can fight our way out . We have to be vigilant before everything goes tits up , too . “

           A loud sigh escapes her lips, bottom lip perking up just slightly so. She’s not pouting, she’s not. He’s right, technically, and she shouldn’t pout. “Don’t we always do that, though? Run into stuff and figure it out?” Jester looks up, violet eyes big and hopeful, perhaps sad even. “It doesn’t have to be different just because it’s the Traveler, he’s really cool Caleb, I promise.” He has to believe her, right? Someone has to. Everyone sounds so damn worried whenever she brings up this meeting, this party they’re going to have. Even Fjord, no matter how supportive he tries to be, is worried underneath all the kind words. She can tell.

“He would never let me get into danger I can’t handle.”

@celestieu

Her words reminded him of what happened. He had been freezing in the streets but just like so many times before, he just wasn’t allowed to pass away quietly in his sleep. She had saved him. Brought a stranger into her house for no other reason than to help. At least, that’s what it seemed like on the surface. Could it really be that that was all there was to it? That she was just some kind soul looking to help? Caleb had stopped believing people like this existed a long time ago. But nothing about her seemed malicious.

The touch on his arm startled him out of his train of thought, and caused him to stumble back and fall back down on the couch. As quickly as it happened, he tried to recompose himself. Rising again but having to place a hand to stable himself. “ I’m fine . “ He answered quickly. Still unsure how to place this situation. She helped him. Even if it turned out she was seeking something from him or was trying to take advantage of his situation, she still saved his life. 

He tried to relax to the best of his ability. It didn’t help much, but he hoped she could tell he was at least trying. “ My name is... Theodore. “ He lied. Giving a fake name really wasn’t a sign of his suspicion however. He always did. It had become more of a habit than a conscious choice by now.

He glanced at the tea she had put down. He was cold and thirsty, now that his alarm had subsided that cup was beginning to look more enticing. Slowly, he reached for it. Giving her enough time to protest before he grabbed it and held it in his hands. Though he didn’t drink from it just yet. “ Thank you . For helping me . “ He added, his voice still felt rough even to his own ears.

 ` STRANGER.

As she turns to him he instinctually takes a step back. Then hitting the back of his knees against the couch he had just been laying on when he repeats the action after she steps closer. His demeanor more similar to a scared animal as he slowly lets his hand drop while she speaks. 

His eyes dart down to the cup in her hands. His mouth slightly ajar in obvious longing before he trains his expression back on her. There was something not quite right with her. Caleb was sure of that. Whether it was actually her or simply how unused he had grown to somebody offering him such kindness over these hard years was unclear.

The truth was, he did feel dizzy, and cold, and weak, but that hadn’t stopped him before. He knew better than to let his guard down so easily, even when he was exhausted. “ Why … Did you take me here ? “ He carefully asks, pointedly ignoring both the mug that was being offered and her words of advice. How stupid did she think he was? To just accept something like that from a stranger?

              a small, timid flicker of her eyes. between him and the tea once more, there’s a nod of understanding for a statement unspoken, and she instead skittered like a nervous cat around him, gently laying the mug on the side table for him to retrieve when he pleased. she returns then, just as quickly carrying herself on feather - like steps to be in front of him. 

                   “  oh, uhm - well, because it is what i do, sort of. uhm. i do other things, not just bring people to my home, sometimes i go to other homes because they are more comfortable in their own beds and that is always okay, too! if i had known where you lived i would take you there, but you were on the street so i did not know if - “  she was rambling again, too fast, her accent pressing her words together into a mess of a blur. 

                    “ i do not mean any harm, uhm. i know it must be weird. i just … saw you in the alley, and you were so cold and not waking up so – well, i did not bring you, i am not very strong, but i asked my friend to help carry you here. “  another slight step forward, her hand sheepishly extended out to settle on his arm, if he would allow her.  “ i am sorry, i am getting ahead of myself. are you okay? what is your name? “

Caleb let his gaze drift over her hand. She was always there to support him. While he didn’t really understand it, he was grateful nonetheless. It meant more to him than he could ever express.

He nodded in return, offering a sheepish smile at her sentiment. “ I don’t know if it’s that simple but , thank you , Jester . “ They’d figure it out. No matter what happened, he was safe with the Nein.

of-fire-and-flame‌.

“ He has been talking about owing him a debt a couple of times now … “ Their first dunamancy lesson, Caleb had eagerly agreed with returning some kind of favor, anything to get his hands on more of those spells. But as the Mighty Nein keeps asking him for more, Caleb’s worries grow with Essek’s irritation.

He shrugged. “ You make sense . But that is why I am worried too . If this is something he feels the need to be like that for , I don’t want to let my guard down . “ Perhaps, maybe, Essek’s intentions were pure. But even if so, that was not a risk he could take. He couldn’t let himself be manipulated.

            Jester nods softly, thinking through their options. He would never make them do something they don’t want to do for this debt, would he? Essek might work for the Bright Queen, and the Dynasty might not always have the best intentions, but he’s nice. He likes them! Right? “Okay… okay, well… but you’ve got us!” She smiles, offering Caleb support with her right hand resting over his arm.

“So, you know, if he does something like really shady or bad, then we can help you, right? And if he doesn’t then… you get a boyfriend!”

He knew she didn’t mean any harm by saying it. But that still stinged. Perhaps though, it wasn’t such a bad comparison to make. “ They hadn’t seemed scary to me when they were my friends . “ He argued back. The relationship he had had with Eodwulf and Astrid was very different from the one Jester had with the Traveler, yet if there was any way of it ending similarly… This really wasn’t a conversation he wanted to have right now, though, so he was quick to change the subject again.

“ Just- promise me that you’ll be careful, Ja ? We do not know what he wants of you . “

             Jester crosses her arms over her chest, eyebrows knitting together as she stares. Okay, well… maybe he has a point, but the Traveler is still not dangerous. And if he thinks his followers aren’t either, she trusts him. She could never not trust him. He would never do anything to put her in danger or risk her life. Maybe, maybe, these followers might want to start a fight, or she might have to fight them for the Traveler’s love or something, but she’s strong, she can do it. 

“I’m always careful,” Jester shrugs, playful smile extending across her features.Maybe not always. But she tries to be! “He just wants a party, Caleb. He’s cool, okay? We’re all gonna meet and have a party, that’s probably it. Probably. And… and if something bad happens, not because of the Traveler ‘cause he would never do something bad to me, but if something happens then you guys are gonna be there with me!”

“ i got you a little figurine of a cat on a tree stump because it reminded me of you. ” ( how could i NOT )

FLUFF SENTENCE STARTERS (open) @lanternfreed

If there was one thing even someone who just knew him could figure out, it was that Caleb liked cats. He looked from her face to the little figure in her hands with a sort of awe. It looked adorable, and she was just giving it to him?

He hesitated as he reached for it. “ Are you sure I can have this ? “ He asked. It was a sort of kindness he was unused to. And he wasn’t sure how to react to it.
