Seifer takes a deep breath when she finally speaks, not to steady any anger, but clear relief lines his face instead. 

“I’m not. It…. wasn’t you. I missed you.” Seifer takes a shy half step forward before he wraps the smaller woman in a tight embrace. He thought her ashamed of him, but would take it over afraid of him. 

Edea lets out a breath she didn’t realise she was holding as Seifer embraces her. She thought to greet him with a hug, but wasn’t certain if he would react negatively to it.

Her arms curl around his body and she rests her hands on his back. “It is good to see you.” And it makes her happy that he can distinguish when she had been herself and when she was possessed.

Edea pulls away from the embrace enough to be able to look at Seifer with pride. “Look at you, my darling Seifer. A knight full-grown. I am so proud.”

// I have several blogs and I’m slow at replying for all of them, so I’m so sorry! Thank you for being patient with me.

@blasteredged​:

   eyes cannot help but look at the orphanage, much of it has been rebuilt since the last she visited. it makes her happy to see the building back on it’s feet. “Do you ever get lonely?” her head turns back to the other. there’s a quick nod in response to the older woman’s question. “Whatever you have! Thank you so much!”

Edea decides on making a pot of mild jasmine tea, something easy to drink in between some conversation. 

“It does get lonely sometimes,” The woman admits, “But I think its better this way. If no one is here, it means everyone has a place to be.” The orphanage was a place for people who had no where else to go. The Matron finds it fitting that she is the current sole occupant.

The woman sets the pot of tea and a pair of worn cups on the table, along with a plate of little bite-sized cookies. “Now, I do believe you said you had some questions for me, my darling.” Edea sits across from Rinoa and smiles. “I do hope everyone has been treating you well.”

    “Thank you!” she takes a seat in one of the open chairs, a smile pulling on her lips. “I’m doing well. I wanted to see how you were doing. & I wanted to ask you a few questions, if you don’t mind.”

It relieves Edea some to see Rinoa so comfortable in her presence. “I am well, of course—it’s always very quiet here.” The woman gestures to empty the orphanage. “Of course, ask away. I hope you don’t mind if I make some tea while we talk? Do you have a preference?”

“I can’t say I was expecting you, darling, but you are welcome to come in.” Edea greets Rinoa cordially. “Are you alright? How are you?”

Jade eyes are level on Matron for a moment before her caution makes him flinch. Did she fear him after all that had happened?

“You suppose, Matron?” 

Her look softens at his words and she closes her eyes for a moment. Edea knew better, she wouldn’t be able to move on like this if she didn’t do better. “I was only being careful—I am—” She hesitates. “I wasn’t sure if you would still be very angry at me.”

The matron then steps closer and offers a genuine smile. “Welcome home, Seifer. I am happy to see you.”

Edea is surprised when she sees who is standing at the door. She’s cautious, but still manages to offer a warm and smile. “Welcome home, I suppose.”

@countignis:

It could be because of his position within the Crownsguard, that he could not help but to explore avenues that were in question. That were the source of great disquiet in the heart of the people wandering by. It could be he couldn’t help but find trouble, though he often communicated the idea that it was the wrong thing to do.

Do not go looking for trouble. Undoubtedly, trouble would find them on its own. They did not need any help in that.

Still, he was curious. An adviser did not like mystery. They did not like those ideas they couldn’t dissect immediately with much clarity at all. How could the place he ventured be a source of great fear for the people? As beautiful as it was? As quiet, as serene?

Had they truly become so attune to the chaos of their lives, they found such stability unnerving?

He could not discount the possibility that they envisioned demons where there were none.

Looking for trouble.

The revelation of one occupant of the grand place revealed, not looking much at all like one who encased such tumultuous attributes.

But Ignis never made assumptions. That’s when things became dangerous.

He bowed his head, a hand braced up near his chest. “I beg your pardon for the interruption, Lady. I am a passing traveler in search for sanctuary. I have wondered if I might come in to refresh myself? Should you require monetary compensation, I can provide it.” Though he didn’t have much…

Unfortunately, their travels did not yield much in way of gil, even with their various hunts. Most people were in dire straights those days. They gave what they could, but it wasn’t enough to feed and clothe and house four grown men.

The visitor was not one Edea expects at all. Though she greets everyone with warmth and respect, it wasn’t like many treat her the same. The man in front of her however is nothing but overly polite and respectful in his words and demeanor. It upset the matron a little to think that his attitude actually set her on edge some; she is so used to being mistreated she is suspicious of chivalry.

“Goodness, it isn’t often that people are so upfront when coming here.” Edea admits and steps back to open the door fully to properly greet her guest. She takes in the strangers appearance and tries to gauge who he may or may not be, but she can’t quite figure it out. He doesn’t seem like a reporter or someone to snoop. “May I ask your name before I welcome you inside? I am Edea Kramer, the matron of this orphanage—although I do live alone here at this time.”

It’s dangerous to say such a thing, she knows. The stranger could be here for malicious reasons, but Edea doesn’t admit to her solitary living without knowing she can protect herself. “Monetary compensation isn’t necessary, but—I suppose it goes without saying—respect is.” From her very gentle warning tone she gives away that she might have had some unsavoury guests in the past.

The Prince frowned in thought for a moment, his mind instantly drifting to Ignis. He was always Noct’s first port of call whenever he was in any kind of trouble, despite the fact the other was only a few years over him. Ignis hated it when Noctis teasingly referred to him as ‘mom,’ but he certainly acted that way sometimes.

Noctis wasn’t a little kid anymore though, he was ten years old now–practically a grown up. If he was to be the King of Lucia, he could at least get himself home.

“Ah…no thanks Ma'am,” the young boy bowed his head slightly. “I’m okay.”

Edea smiles as she sees the sweetness in the boy’s attitude; stubborn, but not impolite. It reminds her a lot of some of the children she had looked after at the orphanage, always wanting to older and more independent, reluctant to rely on others.

“You seem like a very brave young man.” The matron says warmly, though she’s worried to leave him wandering around on his own. “In fact, would it be alright if I asked for a little of your time? I’m a little anxious to wait here on my own. Won’t you stay a moment?”

Perhaps if she kept him in one place, someone would come back to find him.

Edea offers a cautious smile as she spots the stranger and holds a hand to her chest. 

“Not many wander this close to the orphanage. Are you perhaps lost, my dear?” Her words are warm and welcoming, though she isn’t sure what to make of the person before her.

“Hello?” Edea was sure she had heard someone just outside of the wall. She cautiously wanders out along the cobbled path. “Is anyone there?”

[threeroyalcrowns-blog]

Edea had been folding some sheets when she heard the knocking. There wasn’t much reason to fix the spare beds week after week, but it kept her busy along with the gardening. Just in case someone decided to visit, she’d be ready to receive them.

If anyone decided to visit.

It was very quiet and sometimes lonely at the orphanage, but the Matron knew she deserved this. She still wore the face of evil for many, it didn’t matter if she was possessed during that time or not.

So when Edea heard the knocks, she wondered if she had imagined it. The woman leaves some sheets unfolded to answer the door. “Just a moment—” The hinges creak slightly as she peers out to see who is outside with a warm smile. “Hello and welcome, dear. How can I help you?

@sixba

“I haven’t, and the animals that live there, are they like fish, crocodiles, and hippos?” At least those were animals that he knew lived in the water back home in the Pridelands. Here, however, might have been a different story. The naturally curious cub wanted to get a closer look for himself. Thinking that the fence was something he could go through, Simba stuck his head through the bars only to realize that he suddenly couldn’t move. “Uh G-Grandma? I can’t… I can’t get through the cracks.”

Edea laughs and kneels down to gently coax Simba back from the bars of the fencing. It warms her heart to hear her new grandchild call her ‘grandma’. “We mustn’t jump down this way, Simba. It’s very dangerous.” She coos. “Follow me and we can take the path down to beach.”

The woman stands and gestures for the cub to follow her down a particular path down some stairs. They lead safely down the cliff face to a small private beach. “There are lots of fish, but I don’t believe the other animals you mentioned live in the water here.”

Edea takes a sip from the wine that Cindy pours and takes note of how much fills the glass. The Matron listens carefully and with a calculating eye, watching her daughter’s body language as well as listening to the tonality in her words.

It was clear that Cindy was very nervous and maybe a little out of practice when dealing with matters of the heart. “My dearest Cindy,” Edea starts and reaches over to gently touch the blond’s hand. “I understand that these feelings must have caught you off guard—they often do, but this isn’t a cause for panic or worry.”

She raises her wine glass. “This is something to celebrate. This is something new and different and wonderful; nothing like your mundane everyday work. We mustn’t limit ourselves to what is familiar because of a little worry.” Edea waves a hand. “You are a beautiful, talented and ferocious young woman. You need only be yourself and see what happens. Anyone should be so lucky to have captured your eye.”

The glass touches the Matron’s lips and she takes a delicate sip. “Honestly, if that silly boy doesn’t realise how lovely you are, then really it is his major loss— and we do not waste time with silly boys, Cindy.”
