* TALIA AYDIN ( @violentdesires )
" THIS IS BEAUTIFUL , " vala says , looking up at the townhouse in front of her , though so far , she's still talking to herself since she hasn't actually made it in yet so she hasn't seen talia yet . she bounces up the the door , knocking before she reaches into the bag she's holding to eat a mouthful of gummies .
she'd made most of the snacks she'd brought — except for the chips and gummies and fruit . but she'd brought tzatziki and chips and fruit and pastries and lots of little cakes and other treats — and maybe she'd gone a bit overboard because she'd been too excited to see her daughter and wanted to bring her lots of treats . she'd also brought a few housewarming gifts .
she beams when the door opens and she drops her bag , launching herself at talia to wrap her arms around the younger dragon and press kisses to her face , nuzzling at her affectionately . " seriously , this is so beautiful . " she smiles . " i brought you snacks and gifts . "

* KAELIE MORAIS ( @violentdesires )
THERE'S AN EXTRA BOUNCE to her step as she makes her way through the unseelie lands to the tower , despite the cold . now that she's moving again , and this time the climate will be harsher on her year round , she's going to have to get used to cold . anyways , it's always worth it to visit kaelie and inês . and unlike when she showed up at house wrath unannounced because she had no patience to wait for him to come to her , she was invited here . sort of . if texting the unseelie that she's coming over and receiving a confirming response counts as being invited .
even though she's not sure how many people she wants to tell about the baby just yet , kaelie is among the short list of people she does want to talk to , since she's practically vala's sister . they've grown so close and vala doubts she'd be able to not mention it anyways , so better to plan on telling her than to keep it to herself .
when she spots kaelie , she picks up her pace , smiling widely and reaching to hug her . " hi ! " vala presses kisses to her cheeks . " how are you ? how is inês ? " she asks , pulling back to look at kaelie . " i brought cake . " she turns to pull the package from her bag , holding it out to her friend . " and i have to tell you something . "

* OPEN ( @dihstarters )
location : the wander wood
SHE USED TO FLY DAILY , but has skipped days more often than not recently . now though , she feels calmer , to an extent , as she shifts back to her human near the original warlock’s home — knowing that while others may have spotted her flying , they’re unlikely to find where she’s landed since the wards around the property only allow in family and friends ... and astra had allowed vala in to use her garden . though the dragon suspects that allowance is more thanks to aranya than any kindness from astra herself .
she wanders through the garden on occasion mostly to annoy but also because it really is lovely and those who have the privilege to be allowed past the wards are rather lucky , she thinks . the space is peaceful , though not quite what vala is looking for . really , with how on edge she is — flying didn’t entirely fix it like it used to — she probably should go home , find julian or thalia . as much as flying did help some , the lack of sleep is putting her far more on edge than normal . she’s more likely to snap , to cause real harm .
the dragon steps past the warlock family’s property lines , humming to herself as she wanders further into the wander wood on foot , bare feet sinking into the grass lightly as she strays away from the path . she’s paying careful attention to what’s going on around her , and she stops when she smells someone nearing , watching them as they cross in front of her while they actually follow the path . she intends to keep quiet but all plans to keep to herself falter when they notice her and stop . she just offers a small wave , head tilting slightly as she regards them .

* COSIMO DE’ MEDICI ( @violentdesires )
THE LACK OF SLEEP is making her grumpy , but she feels like she hasn’t seen cosimo enough and she misses him . daily i love you texts are not enough . so she had put together a pot of spaghettini bolognese for him , even though she knows she does not technically need to bring food . but she knows she hasn’t gotten much sleep , and she doubts that cosimo is getting much sleep , if he’s getting any at all . and maybe food will at least be a comfort .
she makes her way through the faerie realm to the medici home , holding the pot so that it stays at the perfect temperature . she knocks on the door , humming quietly to herself as she waits , and offering a smile to cosimo when he answers . “ i brought spaghettini . ” vala holds up the pot , already stepping into the house so she can set it down and wrap cosimo in a tight hug .

* ANTHALAENA DRAKON ( @violentdesires )
SHE LACES HER FINGERS through thalia’s , lifting her hand to nuzzle at the back and pulling her closer . she aims to be comforting , she does not want thalia to worry about how things will go because there is no way she’d be a failure at being a dragon . whether she is entirely successful at flying or shifting or anything else is not important . vala won’t be disappointed . all she cares about is that they get to spend time together . whether thalia shifts or flies or whether they sit somewhere and chat and snuggle or anything else , vala just wants the time with anthalaena . she nuzzles at the side of the younger dragon’s head , pulling her closer to her .
“ we could go to my favourite spot by the lake in faerie . it’s peaceful , away from where anyone usually goes . lots of space . and i mean it when i say that you do not have to shift or fly or do anything you do not want . ” vala offers . she wants thalia to feel comfortable , and does not want her to feel forced to try to shift and fly . it may be some of vala’s favourite things , but she still stands by her offers to do other things or for vala to shift and take thalia with her like they’d done when they had been young .

* JULIAN RHODES ( @violentdesires )
GOLD EYES BLINK OPEN , slowly , before the dragon shifts and curls more against julian , still groggy from waking up after another sleepless night . she had woken him up around two in the morning after she’d woken up screaming from nightmares again — though this time from her usual nightmares about the night of her mother’s death — and it had taken a long while before she’d slept again . she’s too excited to set up the art studio to actually sleep too much longer , though it’s still later than she’s normally in bed . but she still snuggles up against her best friend , nuzzling at him when she feels him shift .
“ good morning , ” she mumbles , snuggling closer and pressing her face into his shoulder , not wanting to actually get up yet despite her excitement for the day . the lack of sleep is starting to get to her , and no amount of napping during the day is helping , considering she’s woken from enough of her naps from bad dreams as well to the point that now she just avoids them altogether most days .

* ANTHALAENA DRAKON ( @violentdesires )
SILVER EYES SCAN THE ROOM as she curls her arm around thalia , nuzzling at the younger dragon gently . while on one hand , she’s excited to bring thalia to their first party since her resurrection , parties aren’t exactly vala’s thing . but she is glad to be a part of another new-ish thing . at least , parties now are certainly different than when they were younger ... though part of them now are just overwhelming . especially since the attendees are not all people they’ve grown up with . but she has thalia here , and that is the only really important thing .
“ you look so good , vidita , ” vala smiles , pressing a kiss to thalia’s forehead . “ is there anything in particular you want to do ? or is there anything you want to make sure we stay away from ? ” vala asks , head tilting to nuzzle at her cheek .

* ARANYA SINCHAI ( @ycungodshq )
VALA HAD PUT TOGETHER all of the ingredients she and aranya would need , as well as bringing utensils and baking trays , not really sure what the vampire had already and not wanting to have to make any trips out . she knocks once she reaches aranya’s apartment , smiling brightly around her box of goodies when the door opens to reveal her friend . “ so i might have brought too much , but whatever we do not use you can keep including if you need any supplies ... i was not sure what you had so i just ... brought everything . ” the dragon shrugs .
“ and snacks for while we bake ... because i always want snacks . ” she gestures to the box of paparajotes and quesada pasiega sitting on the top of the box .

* AURORA DE’ MEDICI ( @wickedlvly )
SHE LOOKS UP from the ingredients and supplies she’d laid out on the counter , smiling at her niece when she sees her slip through the backdoor to the peachy dragon . “ hola , muñequita , ” vala greets aurora . “ i went ahead and pulled things out so we do not have to actually go through the whole process of setting up . ” the dragon hums , stepping away from the counter to wrap rory in a hug . she’s been looking forward to this since they’d first discussed it . baking is something she loves and she is so excited to get to share that with aurora . vala leads her back over to the counter and points to the bowl of peaches and plate of fried dough cookies she’d already made . “ i made melocotón en almibar and borrachuelos already so we would have snacks . ” she says before holding out the recipe book she’d originally put together for her staff .
“ i thought we could make a gazta tarta or a crostata with peaches , but it’s entirely up to you . ” the dragon points out two of the recipes she’d marked .

SHE PULLS HIS ARM AROUND HER , lacing her fingers through his and tucking herself into his side as they step into the party . the dragon glances around for a moment , taking in the decorations and the crowds , before her attention returns to the hybrid , head tilting to nuzzle at his shoulder affectionately . “ gummy bears ? ” she asks , because maybe starting with something normal is good . before she drags him off away from the crowded spaces because even if he wasn’t so nervous , she still hates crowds . she had made sure the paints in her hair wouldn’t rub off on anything she brushed against , at least , so it wouldn’t end up all over julian .
“ i know it isn’t easy , but try to focus on me and not everything else , ” she says softly , squeezing his hand . she knows it’s not so simple . there’s so much going on , between the people and the alcohol , though maybe less people will smell as much of the latter earlier on . but maybe if they try , it might help a little ?

* OPEN ( @dihstarters )
Location : The Peachy Dragon
THE DRAGON IS ODDLY ENTHUSIASTIC as she stands in the front of her bakery and helps customers . but the only girl scheduled to retail had to go take care of her sick kid , so vala had begrudgingly slipped out of the back to help the older woman . but her demeanour shifts , a smile slipping across her face as the woman rambles about a bakery she used to go to in spain . the dragon’s face lights up at the mention of ensaïmadas . “ oh ! me encantan las ensaïmadas , ” vala exclaims . she starts to apologise because she’d already run out , and promises to make the woman a batch later if she wants to come back in the morning . she keeps chatting to the woman in spanish as she wraps up what she’d already ordered , but as the woman waiting starts to grow clearly annoyed and starts tapping her foot , vala remembers why she hates customer service . she finishes wrapping up the pastries , and wishes the woman a good day before turning to the other customer .
“ hello . ” but the pleasant smile drops as the woman starts talking , complaining shrilly about the wait , about there being nothing left , about vala speaking spanish to the other client . “ if you are so in a hurry you do not have to wait . and if i am out of what you want is not my fault you came so late in the day . ” the dragon rolls her eyes , no longer interested in continuing to try to help the woman , and turns to the other person still waiting . “ what can i get you ? ” she asks , making a shooing motion at the other woman .

* OPEN ( @dihstarters )
SILVER EYES GLANCE AROUND , and then she settles on the ground , sprawling out in the sun , eyes falling shut . it’s the first time she’s been to the lake in a while , the first time she’s actually just doing nothing in a vaguely public space , in a while . and she sighs contentedly , fingers digging into the sand beside her . she hums to herself . she growls when she realises she didn’t silence her phone and it starts to ring . she silences it , and then tosses it away from herself . she should have left it home , but carrying the thing around had become habit , at some point . but now that it’s tossed aside and quiet , she relaxes , sighing contentedly and letting her eyes flutter shut . well , until she smells someone else , eyes peeking open to glance up at the figure emerging from the trees behind her . but she makes no other move to acknowledge them , gaze returning to stare up at the sky instead .

* KAELIE MORAIS ( @violentdesires )
ARMS ARE THROWN AROUND KAELIE before she can even greet her , and vala is nuzzling at her friend’s cheek for a moment before pulling back . “ thank you . ” she mumbles . “ also hi . ” she adds after a moment , as she straightens her dress some , tugging at the waist for a second before leaning and pressing a kiss to inês’ head as well . “ hola lapochka . ” she is grateful that kaelie is letting her stay with her while she figures out what she wants to do for a more long-term residence , though maybe staying near the night court will be better . she’ll be closer to kaelie and inês , and she doesn’t mind staying in a colder climate for them . though , she’s still not entirely sure what thalia wants . she doesn’t seem to mind one way or the other , but vala thinks she’s just trying not to stress vala out , in case vala isn’t entirely happy with what she does want . which , vala wouldn’t actually ask her to live anywhere she doesn’t like . but she pulls herself from her thoughts , offering a small smile to her friend . “ how are you both ? ”

* ZION GEHENA ( @violentdesires )
FLYING HAS ALWAYS HELPED , though , it doesn’t fix her problems . even if the dragon wishes it would . but usually it helps clear her head . usually . though , she isn’t sure she’ll be entirely calm for a while , at least . her anxiety too high to actually calm down with one flight . and she’s too tired to stay in the air for as long as she normally would . so she lets herself settle in a clearing , far enough away from things that she thinks she’ll be on her own . she huffs , claws careful not to rip into the ground as she lands — always more careful of the faerie realm than the mundane . she only then realises that someone else has just barely stepped foot into the clearing , and she tilts her head for a moment before she’s shifting , arms clasping her elbows behind her back as she regards him quietly .
“ hello . ” the greeting comes out after another moment , and her head tilts again as she watches him .

* ANTHALAENA DRAKON ( @violentdesires )
Location : the duelling grounds .
SHE CURLS HER ARMS AROUND THALIA , nuzzling at her and pressing a kiss to her hair . the older dragon had already set up targets , and she is so , so excited to show her sister how to use their abilities , now that she finally has the chance . but she needed a moment for cuddles first . “ is this okay ? i can see if i can find somewhere else , or see if julian or someone can take us to my property in spain and we can do it there . but this should be contained enough , and no one else is around , anyways . and we don’t have to switch time zones . ” she rambles , fingers lifting to card through thalia’s hair . “ i also brought coffee and sweets . ” she adds after a moment . the rambling , she thinks , was not something she’d done as much when they’d been younger . but the excitement to be around anthalaena , that is still the same . she loves her so much . thalia and vik had always been her favourites . although she’d loved all of their siblings . but she’d been closest to thalia and vik .

* JULIAN RHODES ( @violentdesires )
SHE’D ALREADY MEASURED OUT most of her ingredients , and had already put together a chunk of what she wanted to make . she turns around , slipping into the pantry and reaching for an other container , fingers wrapping around it and barely avoiding dropping anything as she stumbles back into the doorway , container of sugar clutched to her chest as she does . the dragon looks over at julian sheepishly , shrugging . “ in my defence , i was born with wings and a tail . ” she says , as if she doesn’t spend most of her time in this form . she sets the container on the counter and bumps her shoulder against julian’s . “ so i want to do a version of our peach tarts , and lemon bars , and chocolate ... something . and then i need some cake options to be available for orders . ” she says . “ but , i think lemon bars are a good starting point ... right ? ”
