Prompt #6: First Steps

(This story is about my farm girl Ruthanne, who resides at @ruthanne-winter​.  For the ease of organization for @sea-wolf-coast-to-coast​, however, I will be posting this here to my main blog and simply reblogging it to Ruth’s, where it belongs.)

Ruthanne darted inside the Winter family home just in time, only a handful of huge, inky-dark droplets of water having planted themselves heavy and hard onto her shirt.  She shrieked and shoved the door closed behind her, breathless and smiling.  “Gods, the sky’s about to rip open!”  She’d run from the chocobo stables, knowing she was in a race with the rain.

“Told you to stable the ‘bo’s sooner rather than later,” replied Finneas from somewhere in the living room.  A low rumble of thunder punctuated him, and a moment later a sheet of rain crashed into the roof of the house.  Ruthanne gasped, wide eyed at the sound.  “Land sakes alive!”  She was grinning though, high on adrenaline from outrunning the storm.  “Where’s dad?”

“Card night, dumbass.  He’s at Royda’s”.  Ruthie’s brother was sitting on the couch with their newest (and first) niece, Hattie, reading to her from a shiny cardboard picture book.

When Ruthie poked her head into the living room, she gasped.  “Finn!  Don’t say those words around her!”

“What, card night?”  He grinned, knowing of course exactly what she meant.

I was debating whether or not sharing this but in the end (as you can see) I decided too ^^ - I’m still working painting this but I love the flat colours so I thought I’d share as a little WIP <3

If I look back, I am lost. 

Happy Birthday @morgana-the-silver-witch! ♥️

I’ve been really inspired by Ruthanne as of late, and I’m thinking about making a tumblr for her.  My strong little La Noscean farm girl.  ♥

Prompt #9: Dense

(This story is about my farm girl Ruthanne, who resides at @ruthanne-winter​.  For the ease of organization for @sea-wolf-coast-to-coast​, however, I will be posting this here to my main blog and simply reblogging it to Ruth’s, where it belongs.)

Thick, grey fog hung almost suspended in time, muting the light, the horizon, and the sounds of the morning like a wet woolen blanket.  Unseasonably warm rain the night before clung to the earth stubbornly, even as cold winds breached the La Noscean shore and swept across the landscape.  Nasty morning to be sure, and Ruthanne was happy to be toasty warm inside, humming as she flitted about in the kitchen trying to ignore her brother.  Her mother’s old recipe for lemon pound cake was clipped to a board on the counter, and she was taking her time to check and double check all the ingredients she’d laid out before she began mixing.

“So how you s'pose it is she’s pregnant, anyway?”  Finneas was cocked back in a wooden chair, leaving only the back two legs on the floor.  With his socked feet kicked up onto the table and a bowl of grapes in his lap, the position seemed rather precarious; Ruth was just waiting for him to fall on his ass.

“Ugh, don’t be daft, Finn!”  The subject of her sister’s pregnancy had been much talked about since she announced the news, but leave it to the mouth of the family to be so blunt.  "I’m pretty sure you know about the birds and bees, seein’ as how I damn near walked in on you and Marla Westwood last week.“  Ruthanne made a disgusted noise and wrinkled her nose.  "Gross.”

The memory brought a grin to his face, and he somehow managed to toss a grape in the air and catch it in his mouth without collapsing in the floor.  "If you’d just knock…“

"I’m not talking about this with you.”

“I’m serious though!  Clara’s a huge prude.  How’d she even know what to do??  Do girls just come programmed to know how to make babies?”  Finneas finished chomping on his grape and swallowed before plucking another one off the stem.

“Finneas Winter!  That is sexist and shitty and daddy would snatch you bald-headed if he heard you talk like that!”  She scowled at him, her perpetually pink cheeks turning even pinker with irritation.  The huge messy bun of mint-colored hair bobbed atop her head as she scolded him.  "What if I were to ask you if boys were just born knowing how to be idiots and jerk off?“

That time he damn near did fall, throwing his head back to laugh.  Finn was getting more handsome and manly by the day, but that grin on his face was all boyhood.  "I’d say you’d be just about right on that one, Annie.”  He chuckled and set down the front two legs of the chair, then put his bowl on the table.  "I didn’t mean it as an insult, I’m just sayin’!  Clara’s straight-laced, you know?  Prim and proper.” Ruthanne rolled her eyes and blew an errant lock of hair away from her face.  “Then maybe she did it with her clothes on.”  As soon as the sentence came out of her mouth, she groaned.  “Quit bein’ so dang blue and come help me with this.”  Ruthie glanced up to the pot rack hanging from the ceiling above the butcher block.  “Grab me that bundt pan, would you?” “What are you making, anyway?”  Finn did as he was told, popping up from his chair and grabbing the pan before peering over Ruth’s shoulder to look at what she was stirring in the big mixing bowl.  “…Looks like brick mortar…”  With another circle of her arm the spoon sent a lovely whiff of lemon floating upward, and Finneas’ eyes went wide.  “Momma’s pound cake??  Can I lick the spoon??” Ruthanne laughed and popped him lightly on the nose with it, leaving a dense blob of batter there.  “Maybe.”
