Five Senses

"...are these fer me?" Nephenee asks, acceptin' the offered blooms all the same. Leaves tickle her exposed fingers as she gently holds the stems.

Wildflowers, she thinks, lifting them to her nose 'n inhalin' their sweet scent. Reminds her of all the varied blooms she'd see linin' the fields back home--poppies and cornflowers and bird cherries.

Warmth seeps inta her cheeks; it's all she can do ta look Geoffrey in the eye without wantin' to bury her face in the petals again. "Thank ya, Geoffrey! These're beautiful...can I ask what the occasion is?"

Dog Kisses || Accepting!

A beorc knight... had they met before? He looked decently familiar, but Volug couldn't recall ever speaking to him. Perhaps he was one of the members of a beorc ruler's entourage... certainly not those of Daein or Begnion-- Volug would remember him if he were. Elincia's, then? Yes, she had blue-haired knights, didn't she? Volug could remember the swordswoman in Elincia's employ-- Lucia. She had always stuck out to Volug where the other beorc knights had not. Oh, right, she had a brother, didn't she? Volug had almost forgotten him. He didn't really make a point of mingling with the laguz too often, after all.

Well, time to remedy that. He might not remember Volug either, after all. Better make things memorable. Volug knew an entertaining way to accomplish exactly that: toying with the knight's expectations. With his colossal size, the wolf could easily put his paws on a man's shoulders if he heaved himself up. Muzzle close to Geoffrey's face, Volug let his tongue loll out and tail wag excitedly, making it clear exactly what he intended to do.

There would, however, be no licking involved. It was instead the lips of a man that met Geoffrey's. In the blink of an eye, Volug had shifted back into his humanoid form precisely long enough to plant a kiss on Geoffrey's lips. Once he withdrew, he was back to the lupine body, all four paws on the ground as he stared innocently up at Geoffrey. He was more than happy to act like it hadn't happened at all, just to see if he could mess with the beorc a little bit.

🎄 that man is going to mistletoe all the dragons-

mistletoe asks | accepting? (2/?)

"Ah, Sir Geoffrey," Nasir says with a uncharacteristic giggle, seemingly far more relaxed that usually. Perhaps it is because he has had one, or twelve, of these lovely spiced drinks that seem to populate the monastery tables these days, "Fancy seeing you around those parts. Keeping up with your knightly duties even here, I see."

Nasir glances at the top of the doorway and dares to giggle again. Really, what did they put in those drinks?

Now that he realizes what the little plant hanging up there means, there is no reason that he shouldn't have a little fun with it; right?

Placing his hands on the beorc's shoulders, Nasir plants a kiss upon the knight's lips, floating away with a sly smile afterwards.

"Happy Holidays, eh, Sir Geoffrey?"

🎄 (what a way to meet!)

Mistletoe || Accepting!

Of all the people to get stuck under this little festive nightmare with, Alfonse could think of many far worse than Geoffrey. Handsome, loyal, virtuous... he was an ideal knight indeed. More than that, though, Geoffrey had a quality that eased Alfonse's spirit in this specific circumstance, one that not many others could lay claim to.

Geoffrey would be understanding about this whole mess.

With most other people, Alfonse would worry about them remembering it later, holding it over his head, teasing him with it-- or worse, getting upset over it. Geoffrey, though, was rational and level-headed. If anyone was going to take it in stride, he seemed a perfect candidate. That wasn't to say Alfonse expected Geoffrey to be entirely free of embarrassment about the ordeal, just that he probably wouldn't blame Alfonse specifically.

Still, Alfonse needed to make sure Geoffrey knew that this was because of the mistletoe. He wanted no misunderstandings between them before he made his move. If Geoffrey hadn't noticed the plant hanging above them (and he did look blissfully unaware of it) then this would be all the more troublesome for the prince. He made a show of sighing and gesturing upwards towards the mistletoe, making sure to do his best to draw the knight's attention.

"I suppose I've no choice," Alfonse mumbled. Despite his forced reticence, he seemed all too eager to engage with the knight. He was already on the tips of his toes, lips only inches away from the taller man's by the time he spoke. He only hesitated just before he could close the distance, worrying that, even with the tradition being what it was, going for the lips may be taking it a bit too far.

A last second course correction would have to do. Alfonse instead brushed his lips against Geoffrey's cheek, allowing them to linger there perhaps a moment too long. When he pulled away, his face was predictably bright red. He opened his mouth to speak, but no words came out. As much as he wanted to scurry away in shame, his feet wouldn't move. Instead, he remained planted to the floor, just staring up at the knight, waiting for any kind of reaction.

[laslow]

"Professor Laslow, was it?" Geoffrey greeted the other man, bowing his head politely. "Pardon me for my rudeness, but some students asked me to give you a handmade flowercrown? They think you deserves a nice gift, I do too, so here." He then gently put said flowercrown on the man's head, proud of his work (he's not going to tell he made it himself thought). "Here, mission accomplished, if you'll excuse me."

"At your service!" Laslow returns, offering a smile at the stranger. A rather polite stranger, at that! He waves away the pardon, focusing solely on the flower crown held gently in the other man's hands.

It's well constructed--no leaves poke out at odd angles, and the stems have been carefully twisted to avoid snagging on someone's hair.

"Oho!" Pleasantly surprised, Laslow lightly taps his new crown, settling it into place atop his pink head. "Wait, hold on a moment! Don't I get to know the name of my mysterious gift giver? Which, thank you, by the way, how did you know I love flower crowns?"

It’s the Sunday Free-For-All!

I thought for a change, I would try to choose my favorite supporting character. Some episodes are more character/mystery driven, and others are more relationship-driven. Those would be my favorites, but it’s especially enjoyable when supporting characters are written and cast with such care.

I’m having a hard time picking only one. “Sway” is a contender. All of those Burridges staff are fabulous, as is the guy who plays Joey Lisk. The piano tuner is fabulous. It’s really an embarrassment of riches.

The only reason I’m not choosing it is I think “Fugue“ sinks or swims based on the guy who plays Cronyn/Gull; plus the brother and sister are truly well realized. She’s not the most exciting character in the world, but her performance is lovely, and it’s a terrific counterpoint to the sort of creepy/tormented genius that her brother brings to the table. I think he was probably more of a red herring that got edited down, but between the three of them, it’s a winner for me.

On the other hand, how fantastic is it to not just have Danny Webb back as Lott, but have him back in such a disgustingly vile way in “Exeunt”? Now, the guy is really a movie star. He’s been in everything, for God’s sake…his charisma leaps through the screen. He’s more of a guest star than a supporting actor, but every moment he’s on screen is a joy.

Or is it David Oakes as Joss Bixby? If fanfiction is any thing to gauge reaction by, this is clearly the winner.

Who do you pick? I can’t choose. I could’ve kept going, frankly.

our least honorable regulars tend to come and go, and it depends on their age or how many disruptive children they have or if they're just passing through. Map Lady only stayed a few months but she gave us years worth of annoyances. but our MOST honorable regular is easy. he is a man named geoffrey who is sixty years old and deeply deeply deeply autistic and when he comes in the building i know i'm going to have a pleasant interaction and even when i am incredibly grouchy and bitchy i can see geoffrey and its like yippee a real patron has arrived. i love geoffrey. so does everybody else. he doesn't do anything in particular to be beloved but he is the mildest mannered man on the planet with only one flaw which is an unfortunate disdain for kleenexes, although for all the sniffling i WILL say he is a ready hand with the sanitizer. he reads largely music biographies and has a set of about twelve sentences for regular conversation, some of which are just echolalia material. when you chat with geoffrey you know exactly what you're going to get, which is one of the most refreshing parts of having him come in on a busy or unsettling day. the exception to his catalogue of stock phrases is when he is sharing actor/musician birthday and death day trivia. he always brings his books back on time and he always says "i always bring them back on time" and we say thank you we love that about you. and he says "sorry to keep coming in like this" and we say please do not apologize for being the best part of our day every day. we love you. geoffrey <3

🎄

tis the season

Ryoma isn't surprised when he finds another bunch of mistletoe. At this point, the students have had far too much fun hanging these all over the place, though he does wonder if some of the faculty and knights may have had perhaps too much fun with the mistletoe, too.

Ryoma can admit, it has been quite interesting seeing who he has been matched with by the universe. He can comfortably say he doesn’t mind this little tradition.

But he is surprised when he ends up under the mistletoe with Geoffrey.

Ryoma remembers him. It’s hard to forget the man he had nearly frozen to death with. The memory feels so distant now, such a ridiculous argument. “Ah, Sir Geoffrey. It has been a while, hasn’t it?” Ryoma says. “I’m glad to meet you under better and warmer circumstances.” He casts a look up at the mistletoe. “Though, I suppose it is under strange circumstances again, hm?”

They absolutely must stop meeting under such close quarters, though, lest Ryoma start believing the gods are trying to tell him something.

Regardless, he decides he’ll indulge in this tradition once again.

He cups his hands around Geoffrey’s jaw. He pulls the man in closer, and presses his lips to Geoffrey’s. The kiss lasts for perhaps a second or two, before he finally lets Geoffrey go.

“Happy new year,” Ryoma says.

[party-pri3st]

🎄 yaaayy

Alright. Pandreo's done with the games. He's done getting ambushed by this silly shrub - he's gonna beat it on its own turf. He's gonna find the mistletoe first, and the first handsome gentleman that happens to be standing under it is probably gonna get made out with.

And blessed be, he is handsome, tall and blue-eyed with the stature of a seasoned knight, like the ones he used to daydream about from his childhood fairy tales.

"Hi there," he says warmly, batting his eyes at the handsome knight just once. "I'm Pandreo. Are you waiting for someone?"

Geoffrey, bowin' to her? A flush rises unbidden in her cheeks. He's as good as a prince! Is she supposed ta curtsey? Aw, horsefeathers, she ain't even wearin' a dress!

Suddenly self-conscious, she shifts her weight from one foot to the other, mind blank on how to respond. He saves her from embarrassin' herself, speakin' as if nothin' happened, only for his next words ta make all thoughts grind ta a screechin' halt.

Proud?

City folk--and royals, by extension--ain't usually the type of person she tries to impress. They normally don't give her the time of day, anyhow, 'n she's happier not worryin' 'bout them. But Lady Elincia 'n her army proved not every wealthy person were plumb rude. They gave Nephenee a chance ta prove even the most humble of people could be fighters.

She herself always strives ta do the best job she possibly can, no matter if it's farm work or solderin.'

So the warm glow of happiness sittin' in her chest feels like the most important thing in the world right now.

Lips part, but no sound comes. She shakes her head, finally findin' her voice. "Ah...fer me? I didn't think I'd made that much of an impression..." She gives him a tiny smile. "Heh, I was just some infantry lancer. Barely even saw ya, some days."

She shifts her helmet a little higher in the crook of her elbow. "I've been happy here. Been mighty strange bein' on my own, but I write letters home often. Are ya settlin' in well? If'n ya want a break, the mess hall serves tea all day long."

What if Your Muse and Mine Had a Child | Accepting | 3/?

So Nasir does lose his powers as a result of this one, something he is definitely not salty about at all. Nope. Definitely not. He's so... *gritted teeth* proud of his beautiful boy.

Branded mark is on his chest, right near his heart. He's definitely not ashamed of it either, and will show it off proudly whenever he gets the chance. Yeah, he has dragon blood, isn't that so cool?

Magically inclined due to being half white dragon, but prefers to use a lance like his father. He doesn't understand all that magic mumbo jumbo anyway; so why even bother?

Joyous and always smiling, easily makes new friends wherever life takes him. Tries not to get too attached though, because he already knows that his life is going to be far longer than anybody he meets and he doesn't want to be hurt by growing incredibly close to someone only to have their life snuffed out before it feels like any time has passed for him.

A travelling knight who roams all over Tellius trying to help the common people and protecting that which he cares about. Very noble, but he hates taking credit for what he does. The safety of that which he was fighting is more than enough compensation for him, he would say with a smile.

Tales will someday be told of a brave and noble knight, with the blood of a dragon in his veins, who cared for nothing else but the common man. No one will remember his name, but he will still be remembered for the deeds that he had once done. And perhaps... he may still be out there somewhere, wandering and helping others to this day. But who can say for sure?

[sereneshymn]

"Sir Rafiel!" Geoffrey called to the heron, catching up to him with a polite smile and fresh flowers in hands. "I didn't really know what coud be considerated appropriate to offer you, as a gift, but I heard the Academy's flowers were a traditional gift to give here? So..."

He handed him a bouquet of various yellow and white flowers, they reminded the knight of the heron, of his kindness and gentleness.

"I never had the opportunity to thank you for everything you did for Her Highness, I want you to know I will forever be grateful to you and Queen Nailah. I hope you can accept this simple gesture and my best wishes for you on this day."

A deep bow, as a show of respect.

At the sound of someone calling his name, Rafiel turns, and his smile grows bright at the sight of a familiar figure. "Sir Geoffrey! How wonderful to see you. I didn't know you were in Fódlan!"

He pauses there, his words replaced by cheerful laughter as he carefully accepts the flowers - the bouquet matching his own colors just about perfectly. "It's a beautiful tradition, isn't it? I think so, at least. Thank you so much, I appreciate that you remembered."

He lets the knight speak his mind openly afterwards, his expression warm and gentle, waiting until he finishes before replying.

"There is nothing you need thank us for, really. We did only what we could, and what we believed was right. If anything, I should be the one thanking you and your queen. I must confess that in the beginning, I did not so easily believe in the possibility that beorc and laguz could live in peace and harmony... not after everything else I had seen and been through. Only when I heard of Crimea's deeds from my siblings did I allow my heart to open."

He nods, smiling. "So in reality, I should thank you as well. I hope our friendship can continue to flourish."

A lovely little daughter, dearly beloved by both of her parents because she is simply so sweet and darling.

Obviously she's branded and causes Ena to end up losing her powers, but Ena doesn't particularly care anyway. She cares more for her children than she ever did being able to transform. She didn't do it often either way, this is fine.

Her brand shows up under her eyes, with a longer strip underneath her right eye similar to the strips Ena has under hers.

She's an absolutely sweetheart, adored by everyone she meets, and especially by her family - including her elder half brother, who is rather protective of her no matter how much she insists she can handle herself. She's half beorc after all! That makes her more needing of protection! (Girlie rolls her eyes. It really doesn't. She'd be fine without him.)

But don't fuck with her, she has a mind as sharp as her mothers and is as strong as her father. Small girl, big lance taller than her. She can and will fuck you up, so don't even try it.

Ena does like to jest that she somehow ended up more like her great grandfather than either of her parents, but she doesn't agree that much. She hasn't even spent that much time with Nasir!

All Passion Spent: Episode 2 (1.2, BBC, 1986)

"You really must not speak as though my life has been a tragedy. I had everything that most women would envy; I had position, comfort, children, and a husband I loved. Truly loved, Mr. Fitzgeorge. I had nothing to complain of."

"Except that you were defrauded of the one thing that mattered, face it, Lady Slane: your children, your husband, your splendour... were nothing but obstacles that kept you from yourself. Perhaps you were too young to know any better, but when you chose that life, you know, you sinned against the light."

"You're right, of course."

"Course I'm right, old Fitz may be a comic figure, but he retains some sense of values."

"Don't scold me any more, Mr. Fitzgeorge. I assure you that if I did wrong, I paid for it. But you must not blame my husband."

"Oh, I don't. According to his lights, he gave you everything you could desire. He merely killed you, that's all. Men do kill women, and most women enjoy being killed - so I am told."
