✍ - a memory of their mother

Kyna Beausejour:

"Ah what can I say about my own dear mother? Lady Sydelle Juilain-Beausejour de Haillenarte...? "As far as I can remember, my mother has always been a bit of an enigma.  Quirky in her ways, she was always a doting mother and always willing to share her knowledge when appropriate or when the situation called for it.  One thing I have always been able to see from her is the open love she shares and has with my father.  They were never afraid to be affectionate, within reason, in front of us children.  I suppose that was an important lesson for us to learn from them because love should never be something to be shameful of.  They'd kiss, they'd hold hands, he'd always have an arm around her. 

"Let it never be said that they were ever inappropriate in public settings as most Ishgardian nobles like myself have a protocol to follow with propriety and proper etiquette.  Even in dire situations, like the multiple times Ishgard had been attacked, they would always find a moment to share an intimate moment between each other and still wouldn't allow said intimacy or affection to cloud their judgement.  I suppose that's the reason why I am so open with my affections and loving gestures towards Lancefer; I never feel as if I'll be judged for them and, should I be, I wouldn't care because the world we live in can be such a cold, dark place and any little ilm of love and light that can be had should be shared and not hidden away from the world. 

"That mayhap might be the most important lesson she's taught me.  The other most important lesson is to accept defeat with grace and dignity, but never settle to allow your intelligence to be insulted.  My mother can also be the very picture of sarcasm and I remember so very well when one of her colleagues from the Astrologicum made a trespass against her verbally about something they didn't understand from her written notes upon the subject. 

"He grew angry with her as if it were her fault as to why they didn't understand.  The library door was wide open and, me being a curious child, I made it a point to learn where I could and stood there behind the threshold one day and watched in horror as this younger student acted out his anger, gesturing wildly at the idea that he was more studious than she.  As she sipped from her wineglass, I remember her smile as she sat back with legs and arms crossed and allowed him to act out. 

"Once said tirade was complete, she said, and I will never forget, 'Now that your temper tantrum has come to a close, you now see why you don't understand.  Your judgement is so clouded it makes our homeland at this current time seem like Costa in the midst of the summer.  Here is yet another round of notes and diagrams to sift through to help improve your understanding.  Once your mind is unclouded, return and I shall guide you through a better knowledge of the different heavens.  'Tis the only way you can learn if you wish me to impart my knowledge to you.'  Even as a younger child, I was able to take her words and apply them to my everyday routines. 

Openmindedness is one of those rare but valuable traits in which the absorption of knowledge becomes so much greater when it can be applied in a situation that needs a balanced view."

❤️-Hold hands with my muse

Before they were to settle into the spot beside the forest brook for the day, Kyna kept a picnic basket in the crook of her arm as she walked side by side with Sanagi.  They discussed a few details about Lancefer's condition but never reached the root of the issue.  Kyna stopped, only to turn to the smaller Raen woman.  Her posture was relaxed, but faced her intently as she spoke.  "Understand something Sanagi...I love that man more than life itself and I will do everything in my power to make certain that he is well cared for.  You've nothing to fear with me in his life, this I promise you."  She reached out her hand and smiled when she felt Sana's tiny fingers curl around her lengthy yet slender own.

Miu and Lance letters

(it’s a bit long, but these are Letters that Lancefer and Miu sent back and forth to each other while she was gone. It explains some of what was going on for both of them during that time and gives you a small peak into their relationship with each other)    Dear Lance, *the next section of the letter has several sentences scribbled out as if the writer was second guessing themselves* I imagine you're wondering where I am at the moment, and the truth is I'm not entirely sure but what I can tell you is that I am safe with my brother Jared. Well as safe as one can be on a pirate ship with your brother being the captain, I should take it as a compliment that his men seem to adore him and had no issue taking the boss's 'baby brother' aboard which is a great deal better a response I got than when I was female. I did spare them the details of what happened with the cannibals but they got the jist of it and seemed more than happy to help me track the Shaman down. At the moment I think it may be the only way I'm going to be able to reverse this... *The letter looks like it's half signed before a line goes through it and then the letter continues*  I'd been trying to avoid really talking about what happened... or facing the things that happened there... even after I woke you up with my screaming from nightmares. I had really hoped that I could avoid ever facing the cannibals, or more to the point that shaman, ever again. I just finally admitted to myself that I needed to find and face this shaman on my own, and from what I can tell he and a few of his tribesmen got away. How I'm not entirely certain, but it seems as if they took a lot of the spoils from all their 'meals' to buy their freedom. The men who were discovered to be the ones that let them go were severely punished, I hear. 

*The letter continues on the next page* My brother Jared has always been pretty good at hearing the goings on all over, and as such we are currently following clues as to where they could have gone to... I feel foolish for having waited so long, worried that the trail has gone cold. If only I hadn't been such a coward, afraid to face 'him' again... so many things could have been different. I guess thinking on the what if's isn't going to do me any good though. So... I'll leave you with this... I'm sorry for leaving so suddenly, and I miss you desperately... Miu ~~~~ Dear Miu,  I miss you just as much, love. I wish you would have allowed me to come with you. I could have gotten Lord Francel to approve the time needed. But as you said, thinking on 'what ifs' will do us no good. Honestly? I just want you to be happy. If that means you need to do this to be happy? Then you have my support. Completely. Next time just ask me to come with you. The apartment feels so empty without you by my side. I will pray to Halone every day to watch over and guide you on this. Just remember how much you mean to me and keep writing to me. Let me know you're safe. It will go a long way in soothing my worry over your well being. I may ask Tara is she does not mind me spending time around her place in the mean time. It may help to keep my mind distracted. Especially from the whispers of that stone. Without you here it feels like it's trying harder. I am going to try to find a way to deal with it. If staying with Tara helps while I search, then it will be worth it. So you focus on finding your answers and I shall find some of my own. Then when you come back to me, we can work on planning that wedding. No more things shadowing our happiness.  With all my heart  - Lance ~~~~ Dear Lance,  I seem to find myself reminded just how different one is treated depending on their gender, sometimes I'm almost tempted to stay male after everything is said and done just because of the fact I'm not treated like I'm incapable of fighting or taking care of myself. I say this because today the ship was attacked and I've lost count how many times people have shoved me somewhere safe or told me I wasn't needed... it's very frustrating, I can very clearly remember it happening on ships especially from when I was growing up.  this time though, I wasn't only not shoved somewhere safe but I was expected to fight. And fight I did, I've been picking up a few... unorthodox spells on my travels... one of which sent lightning streaming down onto our opponent's ship, catching it's stores of gunpowder on fire and putting a hole in their hull. The fight was won without any blood shed, at least as far as I can tell... I wouldn't loose much sleep over them if there was, as while they are called 'pirates' they are the scum of all pirates... they follow no code and kill indiscriminately as well as attack their allies and friends alike when it suits them.I may have frightened the crew a bit with that attack though, they've given me a wide berth and done their best not to get on my bad side... which oddly reminds me... I don't know what will happen when or if I face the Shaman... thus just in case, as I don't know how the crew will act if I suddenly turn female... I've brought with me a fantasia if I need it.  When my mind isn't distracted with combat, looking for clues, or dealing with the crew I find myself looking out across the water thinking on what you have been up too, how have things been with you while I was gone? Have you been sleeping well? Have you struggled more with the stone? and then thinking about the wedding... heh, I still don't know what you see in me... but I'm grateful everyday that you seem to find something not only worthy of your time but also your heart, knowing that here I am at sea so far away from you, well I know many would have written me off... I wouldn't blame you if you did... Though I really hope you don't. I wish I'd thought to take something of yours with me when I left, I've nothing of you to curl up when I try to sleep at night.  Rather I toss and turn all night missing having the warmth of you next to me at night, and when I do dream... they're fitful dreams of worst case scenario's... sometimes I even find myself back at that village, that too small cage of woven bamboo that might as well have been solid steel for all the good trying to break it did.I could never stretch my limbs out, I couldn't even turn my head very far, and then the sounds... I could never see what happened to them... only hear the sounds of the men they dragged out of the cages, the wet sound of blades cutting through skin, sometimes they would skin the men alive before putting them above the fire to cook... I think they had a sick pleasure out of torture... The only reprieve from my cage was when the Shaman came to drag me to his hut, I wanted to run every time but my limbs wobbled and trembled weakly from having little to no food, dehydration,  and being curled up in a tight ball for so long.  I never looked forward to the shaman though, as each time he'd take joy out of watching me struggle to move, knocking me to the ground as he half dragged and half guided me to his hut, and then knowing that I would loose parts of myself once more. I don't know what happened to me in that hut, I can only remember that I hated that hut and him and I feared him, but why... I don't know. He some how blocked my access to those memories... I think that may have been part of why I held myself back for so long when it came to facing him again.... I'm terrified of what I will discover... if I'm able to break his curse will I also break that block of my memories? Will I be able to live with myself if I know just what it was that he was doing?Sometimes, I just want to give up, use a crystal and teleport back to you... but then I'd be doing us both a disservice... so... I continue to persist in this... for lack of a better word, trial. Wishing I could curl up with the at least the scent of you in my bed at night.  your sun Miu ~~~~~ My summer sun,  As I have said before, whatever form makes you happy is how I want you. Physical limitations can be worked on. We can teach you to fight much like I have been helping my cousin. Tara agreed to allow me to stay with her after much debate on where I would be sleeping. She refused to let me take the couch and kept trying to give up her bed. In the end we settled on her adding an extra bed to the apartment for me to sleep in.  I sleep alright most nights. I'd sleep better with you safe at my side. You should know after all this time, you can not get rid of me so easily. I have cared about you since the first day we met and you offered to show me around the part of Eorzea that I've never seen before. Not many souls seem to care about showing around some Ishgardian knight. Without you and Tara, I'd probably be lost to this world by now. All that happened to my family... (There were a few dried wet spots on the page around this paragraph) I do not think I would have continued on without her friendship and your love. I was truly ready to surrender to the madness of that stone.  Tara managed to reconnect me with my brother. Sadly it is only over a linkpearl as our mother still watches him like a hawk. Yet it brings me much joy to hear his voice. To know he never gave up on me despite the family disowning me. Halone have mercy. I wish to hold you just as much as you want to be with me. This distance is maddening. However keep strong and keep forging forward. If this is what you need to do, then do it! I know Halone will guide you back to me just as she has before. If she is willing to grace me with you once, I feel she shall do so again. Once you return we can resume the wedding plans. After I get some much needed alone time with you of course.  Your Sky, Lance ~~~~

    My sky,  So many times there is little to do while traveling through the sea's, and thus my eyes tend to travel upwards towards the long stretch of blue skies... and I'm reminded of you, how much I love looking into the warmth of them, not even the sky can truly do justice to the beauty of your eyes. Jared tells me we're nearing the location he's heard rumors of a new tribe popping up among the islands that fit the description of the shaman and the cannibal tribesmen. Thankfully there aren't many of them left and the men here had no love for those that devour the flesh of hyur, elezen and miqo'te alike. If anything they seem to be anxious to rid the seas of such troublesome beasts.  I'm so glad you've been able to avoid being alone, I always worry about you as it is with your line of work, what happened with your family, the stone, and then just being alone... so knowing you aren't alone and someone is keeping an eye out for you is reassuring. It wasn't at all a difficulty for me to show you about Eorzea, if anything it gave me more time to spend with you and steal glances at the handsome nobleman that I had run into with my distracted clumsiness.  I hope your brother is just as happy to hear from you as you seem to be to hear from him. Maybe some day he can stand up to your bother and sister and the both of you will be able to see each other face to face again. I'd love to see the younger brother of the man who stole my heart, even when I tried to keep distance between us to save you from that dirty pirates daughter.I pray the gods bring me back to you soon, and... I'll admit wedding plans don't sound nearly as interesting as resting in the warmth of your sky once more.  Love,  Miu ~~~~ Miu, Just take care of yourself, love. I'll stay alive and well for your sake. I swear it. After all this gives you a reason to come back home. Knowing you have someone waiting for you who loves you.  Something strange happened the other day. I was leaving Ishgard after leaving something for my brother. I ran into someone... Or rather he was looking for me. Alexois was outside of the gates. We... Talked for a bit. Over a flask of whiskey.  Miu... You're right. He's changed. There is something different about him then I remember. Almost like he's finally growing up or something like it. Maturing maybe? I told him to leave before I'd have to arrest him. I am still a knight and he is still wanted. So I gave him a chance to walk away. I don't want to have to be the one to kill him or arrest him. He actually apologized to me for the things that happened. Seemed he wanted me to understand his side of things. I do not approve of the choices he made... But sometimes in life we make poor choices with good intentions. This doesn't make us friends again but this doesn't mean we're still enemies.  I miss you, Miu. I pray to see you soon.  Love,  Lance ~~~~ Lance,  I'm so ecstatic to hear that! I'm even more glad to hear that he approached you, I'd tried to talk him into explaining to you what had happened and why but... he seems to believe he doesn't deserve any joy or goodness in his life. I hope the two of you can possibly meet up and talk some more, and maybe not become friends again but at least... open communication between the two of you again.  Just like you talking with your brother again, it's never helpful to close ourselves off from those of our pasts that meant and still mean much to us, though hurt will often make us close our hearts off... Now, I suppose i should give you an update on my own situation at present. We hunted down and finally caught up with the Shaman and what was left of his cannibal tribe. It's so strange how when I was captured by them that they seemed like such monsters that haunted my dreams even after I had gotten free. Seeing them now in a new light... they seemed so... pathetic... the only reason they'd managed to capture me and the pirates that had entrapped me was because of the shipwreck and our weakened states. Now they're so emaciated, skin clinging to bodies that seem almost inhuman from just how thin and weak they were. The men had been so eager for a fight, and were just a bit disappointed that it hadn't been much of one... The shaman though... he had been far more difficult to face off against. His magic's nothing I'd ever faced or seen before... still we were able to take him down. I didn't know what to do, as I didn't truly want to kill him even after everything that had happened... my brother though took the choice from me and slit the mans throat, Jared seemed angry when he did it as well... I hadn't realized how angry he was at my situation until that exact moment.  It makes me wish he wasn't a pirate captain so I could spend more time with my brother than the few times he comes to port and actually lets me know he's there...  As soon as his throat was slit many of the emotions and memories he'd siphoned off me returned in a jumble... I still struggle to organize them together into something that makes sense, and it's so odd how... those memories don't even feel like mine anymore. It's hard to describe... In any case I didn't need to take the fantasia as I had thought, as while I felt the magic that kept me locked to this form fall away... it wasn't enough to change me back. I am fairly certain now though that I can change back as soon as I take a Fantasia.Something which I will hold off on doing until I get back home and I'm able to see you again... I'm coming home... I can't wait to be in your arms again Lance.  Your loving sun,  Miu

Send me a 💖 for a headcanon about a member of my muse’s family. Send a 🌟 for a headcanon about one of my muse’s friends   

💖 - The Murder - Of all of those millions of crows that hang around Svan. For new followers, Svan does have a LOT of crows hanging around her and it’s nearly impossible to not see at least one nearby. They’ve been following her around since birth, and they consider Svan their “Tall Sister” and a fellow crow. But sometimes they take that a bit too literally and while they are intelligent, they forget that Svan isn’t actually a crow sometimes. She doesn’t exactly fit inside their nests and doesn’t require to be sat on for warmth. 

🌟 - Lancefer Aurifore ( @nebula1984 ) A knight of House Haillenarte. She finds his code of honor and fumbling of words amusing but he is a kind soul nonetheless as he is one of the few Ishgardians who did not express any animosity towards the crows. I’d imagine he probably started consulting bird related books in order to have something to talk about with Svan, because he doesn’t have a lot to go with around her.

True thoughts

Lancefer when he’s synced down to <25 for a dungeon: “I HAVE TWO BUTTONS TO PRESS AND BY THE FURY I WILL PRESS THEM.”

I have to do something with my time...right? flash flash flash flash flash RAGE OF HALON--oh wait can’t use that in this dungeon RIP

Slightly more serious: One thing I find myself disliking about paladin is the lack of something like WAR’s Overpower, which actually causes damage (Flash does not do any damage at all). Circle of Scorn’s cooldown time makes me cringe. Why is it called Circle of Scorn, anyway? Do I gather a group of my peers to yell “SHAME SHAME SHAME” at my enemies?

Prompt #19: Weal

Lance smiled over the rim of his cup as he watched Ava and Jas playing nearby. Probably his favorite part of sitting outside here with Tara and Theo. Didn't mean he loved the twins any less than the kids. The Loches were family to him.

But watching the kids be happy and enjoying their time outside was always good. Something he looked forward to someday himself. Maybe with Kyna. He'd make sure to be a better father than his own had been.

First they had to deal with his mother. But he wasn't letting thoughts of her sour such a nice day. Or his cup of Ishgardian tea. Thanalan was still a bit too warm for his particular tastes most days but anything was better than the endless cold of Coerthas.

Eyes drifting up the hill towards the nearby free company house. Things might not be exactly where he'd expected them to be but he was content for now. Bran was watching over his brother. Alexois was keeping tabs on the shadier things his mother might be up to. Francel was busy with helping Ishgard rebuild. This rest to watch the kids was much earned.

[cadrenebula]

Has your OC ever taken on a burden or suffered harm to protect another from suffering its consequences? Did the person in question realise that they had done so? What was their motivation when doing this?

Listen, dice are Not Lance's friend. At least not in the rescue of his little brother. He's a knight so his first instinct is to move in to take hits for those he cares about. One such incident was when he teamed up with Tara and Alexois to go rescue Lothaire. One of the enemy was taking a shot at Tara and despite his injuries he stepped in to block the shot. (Darn the low dice roll lol) His shield however didn't survive the blow. Yes he basically pulled a move like our favorite Fortemps knight. Tara was supremely unhappy with him once she was sure he was recovered enough to lecture him. An now is threatening him with the sad eyes of the kids to get him to wear a helmet so that he stops taking head injuries since his body armor stopped most of the other injuries.

Not that it helped he'd already had injuries from fighting not only his own target but from a spell that pit Alexois and Lance against each other. Needless to say... Alexois is very much loved by the dice and he was kicking Lance's ass. XD

Thanks for the ask @mimble-sparklepudding

[cadrenebula]

25. What's something your OC does to wind down after a long day?

Cedrik enjoys a nice hot bath to wind down. Especially with bubbles. Unless he has a current 'fun time' partner like he does right now. Then he'll take a little fun in bed to wind down and snuggle. Maybe convince his partner to take a bath with him if he still wants a good soak too.

Lance usually resorts to physical exercise to wind down. Why? Because it burns off the frustrations of a long day. At least when the frustrations are simple work ones. If it's more complicated he'll bug Tara or her brother to work out with him so he can vent to one of them while working out the frustrations. They are usually a good sounding board for problems. Even if he doesn't always listen to them. (Mostly ignores them about wearing a damn helmet despite his head injuries he's taken a few times.)

Asher likes to sit outside in the fresh air to wind down. Somewhere high with a good breeze is best. He'll sit or lay there with his eyes closed and just breath. Sometimes his captain will join him and they'll just stay there in companionable silence.

Prompt #16: Jerk

(Set somewhere after the Calamity. Roughly a yearish.)

Neither of them was in the best of shape as they made their way through the Brume. Leaning on each other for support as they headed for one of the healers Alex had heard of. One that offered healing without many questions. Cheaply at that since he didn't have much funds of his own and doubted that Lance did either despite his family's status. Brume rats rarely could afford healers, especially ones working for an assassin. Lance might be from an upper class family but he was the black sheep of the family and his grandfather kept a tight leash on the family's funds. Which left them little option than to try a Brume healer.

Though it was more so Lance guiding them through from Alex's directions. Alex was a bit too intoxicated to reliably lead them. Not to mention the black eye he was likely to have from the brawl they'd gotten into thanks to his mouth. It was so easy to be a jerk and pick a fight with people at the Forgotten Knight. Especially so after he'd had a couple drinks.

Lance reached out to knock on the healer's door while keeping a steady grip on Alex's arm around his shoulders. Thankfully Alex was able to mostly walk so he didn't have to be carried. But both of them definitely needed some tending after the brawl. Lance's healed wounds from the Vigil were beginning to ache with helping Alex here.

"You, Ysere?" Alex asked with a smug grin despite the beating he'd taken earlier. It was hard to drop the attitude problem that was second nature to him after this many years. "We need a healer."

"Please." Lance added with a sigh and roll of his eyes at his friend.

They let the kind seeming healer woman lead them inside. Alex thought he spied a kid peeking out from a doorway at them. Probably not more than roughly somewhere around ten summers by his guess from what he could see of the girl. Cute little brat anyways, Alex thought.

"Name's Lexy and this is Lanny. Got into a bit of a scuffle at the tavern." Alex let Lance help him sit down before sitting down as well. Ugh. His stomach was starting to feel a bit foul now. Had to have been that last blow.

Alex peered at the kid as she'd approached him. Not shy kid clearly as she began to pepper him with questions. His head was already pounding and his stomach was only beginning to feel worse for it. Somewhere in the middle of her question barrage, he lost the contents of his stomach. All over her nice tunic. Poor kid.

"Shit..." Now he felt more like a jerk. At least his stomach felt mildly better for it.

YAY I can ask about your amazing characters! Thanks for reblogging to remind me to ask you some! :D You're amazing and I love all your characters! So whichever ones you want to answer for:

Do they wear jumpers (sweaters)? If so do they fit perfectly or are they baggy?

Do they have a favourite hot drink? Tea? Coffee? Hot chocolate? Hot cider? If so, how do they take it?

It's cold and wet outside, your OC has just come in the front door. What do they do to get warm?

What's your OC's idea of a cozy night in?

Popping this below a read more since it got long in answering these. :D

1. Do they wear jumpers (sweaters)? If so do they fit perfectly or are they baggy?

While most of Aryn's clothes tend to be form fitting to show off his dancer's physique, he'd definitely be putting on a nice fluffy oversized sweater. He may have even taken one of his Nonna's since Fen is definitely bigger than him. (Though he'd definitely ask first if it was okay to take it.) He definitely has at least one (maybe more) sweaters knitted by his sister, Ely.

Alex isn't a big fan of sweaters. He would definitely not wear an oversized one for fear it would get in his way if something came up and he needed to fight. But he was also born in Ishgard so the could doesn't bother him as much. Especially now that he lives along the ocean with his wife. The cold there is much more tolerable so he doesn't often need sweaters. Plus he has a jacket he really likes and is fitted for hidden throwing knives and a extra set of daggers.

Asher doesn't really own any sweaters. Not that he doesn't want any. He would probably own at least one warm fluffy sweater if he gave it some thought. But he doesn't often put much thought into clothes other than making sure he has some clean ones that aren't full of holes. Especially with how often he gets dirty doing mechanic work for the group or his own things.

2. Do they have a favourite hot drink? Tea? Coffee? Hot chocolate? Hot cider? If so, how do they take it?

Stefan practically lives off coffee. His coffee intake increased during the whole Necromancer incident and it's surprising he doesn't have coffee for blood at this point. Though he will drink tea on occasion too. But for the most part he prefers black coffee, no cream or sugar.

Nebula much prefers hot tea. Mostly for drinking though they can easily use the tea for other purposes, such as tea leaf readings. They prefer a nice hot chai with a bit of cream and sugar.

Alfa is definitely a cider drinker. It's definitely better hot than cold. Sometimes with a splash of something alcoholic. But he doesn't spike his cider too often. Kino would give him an earful if he did.

3. It's cold and wet outside, your OC has just come in the front door. What do they do to get warm?

Destiney would get out of any damp/wet clothes before heading for the bed where Syl keeps the really nice fur blanket he made. She'd bundle herself up in it before finding her husband to snuggle up to. She loves when he brings out the nice fur blanket for the cold months.

Valen would definitely be stripping and taking a nice hot bath or shower. Depending on which he has more time for. Shower if he's in a hurry or a bath if he has time. Once he's clean and dry, then comes a nice cup of something warm to drink like tea or hot chocolate. Which depends on what he has on hand. Traveling so often he doesn't always remember which he has in stock.

4. What's your OC's idea of a cozy night in?

Ronove would definitely have to go with snacks and cuddles with Ely. She'd probably be knitting with him snuggled up beside her with his snacks and probably some nice chai tea she made. He likes listening to the clack of her knitting needles. He's tried it himself but he's still very much a novice at it. He'd rather sit beside her while she knits instead. It's more soothing.

A cozy night for her is time spent with her Siren sisters. Usually drinking and playing cards. Though she doesn't drink as much as her sisters. Just being with her sisters is comforting to her.

To Lance, a cozy night in is time spent with either Kyna or with Tara's family. His brother can't often get away to spend cozy nights with him. But he does dote on Tara's niece and nephew. He'd settle down and read them stories or play games with them. Or if Kyna would like, they'd have a quiet night in his room curled up together in front of the fireplace with hot chocolate.

All Saints’ Wake 2022 - Lancefer

Happy Starlight 2022

(1/2)

[cadrenebula]

What (if any) present did Lancefer get for the Starlight Celebration? Did Tara try to encourage him into a hobby with a thoughtful gift? Or did everyone give in and give him something knight-related, like a whetstone or armour polish? Or was there a compromise, with a purchase of some Halonic Homilies or a gilded prayerbook?

More like Tara and her twin, Theo, jointly kindly bullied Lance with the gift of a helmet. It's a very well made helmet, shaped with his head specifically in mind and with slits down the sides for his ears. Why? Because he's already taken two rather serious head injuries over the past few years. One of those head injuries cost him two years of memories. So now they are kindly bullying him into wearing a helmet for his own safety. Since he has a habit of wearing a metal circlet and not a helmet. And the twins are not above using Jas, Ava, or Evelyn as leverage to get their uncle to wear said helmet. Or even get Kyna and Lothaire in on the guilting party.

Theo also gave Lance an embroidery pattern, floss and needles. The pattern is the one that says 'This is Proof that I have the Patience to Stab Something 10,000 times.' This was definitely in an attempt to make him take up a hobby in his free time.

Tara gave him a new whetstone, polishing clothes and oil for his sword and armor.

Stefan gave Lance a few books. Hoping maybe his cousin would learn to relax and read as a hobby. They're mostly heroic knight romance books since he felt that was more Lance's type of story. He thought this was only fair since Lance kept trying to pressure him into learning how to fight. Pressure his cousin into reading seemed mild enough.

Destiney gave him a locket with a picture of Loth on one side and Kyna on the other. (Naturally she gave Loth a matching one but it only has a picture of Lance in it.)

Aunt Elle gave him a new warm scarf. Long enough for him to let Owlvael get snuggly on his shoulder.

Thanks for the ask @mimble-sparklepudding
