my angel my baby boy my radiant light i love u so so soooo much!! i love u!!!
after a battle, a fight — a victory treasured within the army and the job of healing wounds would be left to a prince with a kind heart. it is a duty he would take pride in. whilst others would risk their lives, foleo stays back; he ensures each warrior can return in the end with little injury. it is a crucial key to the pyrrhic victories that come with war. it is as vital to keep signs of the same name going. useful, as he wished to be to his parents. irreplaceable.
charlotte comes in with wounds so great that it worries him intensely. she is moving, barely, struggling to climb into the bed of the medical bay even with assistance by her son’s hands. blood stains into his clothes / normally, he would be upset, but his fears and unsteady hands overcame it. foleo shakes as he bandages wounds, heals with a stave to cover what he can, works his hardest so she may live another day. a horror of war which even he couldn’t have expected — it was by his request that he come. was he a fool to? or was this his destiny, fate allowing him to change the fate of his dearest mother?
as treatment comes to an end, it’s a relief that she would live another day. he’s put at ease as she lays there, peacefully, a chance to surely heal further as the extent of his abilities for the day couldn’t allow complete erasure of injury. it’s all he can do. perhaps it really would have been better for him to have stayed in a deeprealm, to age further than his parents and grow old before they could ever hope to raise him. it’s as if fate tells foleo to run through the turning in his stomach and the tightness in his throat that he hadn’t even realized was there until he could relax. almost as if running away from this sight that he should be used to, he stands abruptly and is about to leave. a gentle hand stops him, grabbing his wrist.
“ mother? ” he’d thought she was asleep — her eyes had been closed, a blanket now covering her to prevent the cold; it was a hoshidan superstition that if you slept with your stomach exposed, you would wake with sickness. foleo was stopped in his tracks, confused, almost fearful of what she might say. would she tell him to leave? would she tell him to return to the home away from home, where he’d likely never see them again? he trembles in her grasp, as if preparing himself for a negative response, prepared to be informed he wasn’t ready and that he should keep himself safe in a world without war. he’s prepared when she beckons him closer to her bedside...
but instead, he’s given a hug so sweet that tears kept back couldn’t help but fall. the words she says bring a piece of mind that he hadn’t expected to ever feel so soon --- his mother loves him, sees him as her son and is so genuine with it that he freezes within the embrace. arms unsure of where to go, shock so blatant that it could bring worry. it is a face of someone who was lonely and afraid / it melts into sobs and a return of familial affection. he wanted to hear those words so bad, to know that his parents care and that they’re happy that he was with them. this was a message that was well - received as he doesn’t leave her bedside until he’s certain she’s asleep, holding her hand and talking with her all the while.
when she does, even the boy couldn’t help but feel tired from the stress and extensive chatting. instead, he lays forward, sleeping on the stool at her side so he’d be there when she wakes up. foleo was thankful for his mother.

` we all got problems don’t we? ’
words laced with poison, they seep into her veins & corrupt her from the inside. it’s true, honest – there was nothing of which charlotte spoke that was not true, yet there is some fear for threat, unexplainable. we all have problems … she knows this & yet something in her finds it demeaning. still, she understands. they know so little of each other, it’s only natural that no one could sympathize with flame’s burning wrath, the stench of scorched death tainting her first sight of life, the words that reject her very essence of being ; she is new now, she is reborn. no one knows of their past lives before rebirth. ignorance is bliss, surely, but there is no joy in remembrance.
the princess holds her hands to her chest, some melancholy morning sending the sun into the clouds. dew drops build trickles of water atop her armored feet & ankles. she yawns quietly, fingers stretched against her lips. early morning training, again…
celica had mentioned something quiet, an offhand remark drowned in a sea of unintentional pity for only herself. something soon to be forgotten, something she hadn’t meant to say aloud at all. she expected the moment to pass, for time to fade as it always does, & for dawn to come & begin anew. she certainly didn’t expect for anyone to hear her, let alone respond. though, it was only natural. charlotte had been there, her sparring partner for the day, & chore-tender partner for the evening, waiting for them both to begin what they came here for. of course she’d think that celica was addressing her.
❝ y–yes… my apologies. i hadn’t meant to speak aloud. ❞

SMOTHERS THE BIRTHDAY LAD IN KISSES
heart would soar on the wings of one thousand doves let free into a world desired & his soul would sing in matrimonial glory. the way his heart beats as she places her lips against him sends him into a flustered mess of giddy glee & he can only manage to provide information which she obviously already had.
❝ charlotte ! such is the day of a chosen one’s entrance into the new world ! you know, when my mighty birth bringer granted me access through the portal of the unknown into this world of our wildest dreams ! well . . . not this w – oh ! look at the time ! well, we should be off then, shall we ? ❞

` i find it hard to be myself. ’
ONESELF – SYNONYMOUS WITH A SILHOUETTE OF LOOKING GLASS’ REFLECTION. he knows the definition like he knows his own self ; tattered & torn, understood & haunted. he looks to her with a sight that is barely that, a vision that is blurred with darkness, only traces of light meeting face with irises. he cannot distinguish her features, so he relies on voice alone. to be oneself is an art unmastered, an art feared by many, & shunned by others. there is sympathy, empathy, that swells his chest when he hears her words. remain unchanged. remain unmoving.
it is hard – that much, he is entirely aware of.
there are bells ringing, echoing from a church in a village nearby. their noises are dulled with distance, but the wind fills their ears. he waits for it to settle as they stand in some defeated silence. it’s unusual that he might find himself actively involved, participating in a conversation with someone who has not seen the clouds of smoke that billow through his thoughts. he sits, nervousness pooling inside of him, but face is steeled. nothing can hurt him here. he moves one finger idly, unnoticeably, to feel the cloth of his gloves shift against his hand.
he cannot even show her the face that cowers beneath a mask of self desertion.
❝ if you offer yourself no chance, there is no gain to your strife. ❞
something in him yearns to speak a language of harsh understanding. something that breathes fire & scorches the soul. he wishes to speak unto her what he wishes to hear, himself. yet, even still, fear is a plague that has corrupted his soul with tainted fingers. he will offer what more he can.
❝ you cannot live your life in a selfish cowardice.
no one will recognize you, even in your death. ❞
HYPOCRISY -- synonymous with the devil’s tongue, a serpent draped atop shoulders’ pair.

she leaned in and whispered, ` i'd like to slap that problematic toe. '
Owain grabbed the key to the staff washroom, where he and Charlotte superbly flocked each other for way longer than Owain was allowed on break.
Owain got fired, but it turned out Charlotte was a billionaire so she bought the café and made Owain the shift supervisor.
And they were truly happy, until Charlotte bought Owain a phoenix costume.

one thousand angels descended could not compare to the bliss that wells within him as soft lips press upon his own – what radiant warmth that spreads across freckled cheeks, dusting his nose, his ears, his neck. he smiles into it, though it’s only for a the briefest of moments. ‘ surprise ! ’ it says to him – the kiss, that is… the kiss ? well, certainly, he supposes. there is such gentle kindness that personifies the very act of caring in his eyes, genuine comfort tangled in every trace of verdant green irises. his cheeks are still raised with lips’ corners, skyward, in the moment of solace they’d shared just previous. confident hands find her shoulders & he hums, eyes closed, face gleaming. he’s standing tall now.
❝ your beauty is beyond comparison ! your eyes…
– brighter than the very stars themselves ! ❞
