『 ❝ SILAS, DARLING, YOU’RE TOO MUCH !! I can see perfectly fine, even if they’re in my face, ❞ Amelie chimed, still beaming nonetheless. She fluffed out her skirt before clasping her hands just above her waist, elbows out and chin high. ❝ How’s this now ?? I must look absolutely proper. Aren’t you proud, dearest ?? ❞ 』

        ⌜ SILAS HAD LIFTED his hand to brush amelie’s hair from her face, but let it drop as soon as she’d assured that she was fine, not wanting to overstep his bounds. ❝ all right, if you are quite positively sure, ❞ he said, with a slight nod of his head. he watched as she fluffed out her skirt and let a small laugh fall from his lips. ❝ i am very proud, indeed. you look more proper than any other person i have ever happened to lay my eyes on. you shall outshine them all, amelie. ❞ ⌟

『 SKUA GAVE HER A STEADY once-over before a teasing smile broke onto his lips. ❝ Now, that’s your fault, innit ?? Ya can’t blame me for anything that happens next, ya hear ?? ❞ he said with a lilt before laughing, his facade finally fading. ❝ Is something ailing our little azurine jewel, hm ?? Talking ‘bout trust and that, something must be pulling ya into a knot. ❞ 』

        ⌜ AZURINE DIDN’T LIFT her gaze from where she stared out at the seemingly calm ocean, though she knew that looks were deceiving, for a sea witch like herself knew that the ocean was never truly calm at all. ❝ i cannot blame you, no. i know entirely well the possibilities of what could happen next, but i stand by my words. ❞ she said, voice quiet yet melodic, nearly being drowned out by the soft rumble of the waves. slowly, she turned around to face the sea captain and battled against the wind to brush her long hair back and away from her face. ❝ nothing is ailing me so much as the secrets lying beneath these crystalline waves can ail me, dearest skua, yet i fail to feel bedeviled even by those. can i not talk of trust simply to talk of trust ?? is it such a crime, my dearest ?? ❞ ⌟

『 LOXLEY SHIFTED A LITTLE, THE only indication that he was surprised. ❝ You sure ?? — Was just teasing, don’t need ‘em, really. Got my jacket, you know ?? Can do just fine without ‘em, too, don’t want you to be without, ❞ he said, stumbling. He was still used to the whole ❛ people being kind to him ❜ thing. 』

        ⌜ VISTA WAS ALREADY lifting her fluffy, yet tattered blanket up and patting the place beside her on the sofa. ❝ really, really !! jackets aren’t as cozy as blankets, and finny lets me use this blanket because he says it’s big enough for two people, even if it’s usually just me using it !! it’s also the softest one we have !! ❞ she smiled up at him and held out the blanket for him to feel. ⌟

( @witchtrivls – finny – said,❝ several bad choices have lead me to this moment ❞ )

          CARYS LOOKED AROUND, wanting to make sure finny was talking to her before actually speaking. she’d been fairly quiet since vista had brought her back from the forest, not wanting to overstep her bounds, but she knew there was definitely something off ( at least in the realm of love ), and she wanted to at least pay them back for the kindness they’d shown her. ❝ um, what type of bad choices ?? what moment ?? ❞ she asked quietly.

        ⌜ FINNY TUCKED HIS small pouch of faerie dust, courtesy of vista, into his pocket and slung his satchel over his shoulder. he hadn’t spoken to the girl that vista had unexpectedly brought home one night up until this point, but it wasn’t as though he minded her being there at all --- no, finny was never opposed to taking in a new skull boi. he had simply been busy, too busy to make conversation, but he figured that so long as someone was making sure she was comfortable ( and vista was very much on top of that ) that it was all right if he was a bit busy. ❝ just ... bad choices. i’ve made a lot of them, too many to explain, ❞ he said, unlatching the window and pushing it open. ❝ as for the moment, though, i’ve gotta go to lucille --- visit someone i used to know there. not for anything too important, he just owes he something. you’re welcome to come with if you want, can’t say it’ll be a very interesting transaction, though. ❞ he shrugged, already halfway out the window. ⌟

        ⌜ LUNA WHINED, HANDS gripping the tree branch he was perched on as he hesitantly leaned over to peer down at the bear beneath them. ❝ i … don’t think he’s cute, ❞ he said, almost matter-of-factly if it weren’t for the bit of shakiness to his voice. ❝ i think he wants to eat us. i think that if i go down there, he’s going to gobble me up in one bite !! and then luna lapis will be no more, poppy !! ❞ he cried, placing his hands on either side of her face. ❝ and fox isn’t even here, pops. how can he help us if he isn’t even here !? ❞ ⌟

          VALLIS HAD TO agree. as much as he didn’t mind his job, it could be difficult sometimes. some people just didn’t want to die, and he couldn’t say he was the most calming presence to be around during the grieving process. this was just his nine to five job, really. ❝ me too, though which one do you want to go to ?? why is it only queensland that has taco bells. ❞

        ⌜ IT WASN’T THAT anaise minded her job at all, because, really, she had fun doing it. It was just that so many of the souls she was tasked with dragging down to hell would go down kicking and screaming, and she could only do so much to make them go with her --- and his highness was always quite angry when a soul got away. ❝ i don’t know. we should demand a taco bell in hyacinth --- on that note, though, the one in robina, maybe ?? partially just because i adore gold coast. ❞ ⌟

        ⌜ SCOUT HELD THE doors of the small, wooden cabinet open, poking her head inside and looking around as if expecting to see a ghost amidst all of the vegetables in there. ❝ … no. you’re wrong, ❞ she hummed softly, voice echoing through the small cabinet. ❝ there is  ghosts in here. I’ve heard them. there is. they have parties at night and eat all of our vegetables. ❞ she paused, finally pulling her head out of the cabinet and looking to her older sister. ❝ i think they’re mini-ghosts, too, though, because i can never see them --- and how else would they fit in our cabinet if they aren’t mini ?? ❞ ⌟

        ⌜ BETTA SIMPLY STARED at her brother for a moment before letting a soft sigh fall from her lips and running her hand through her silver-blue hair. ❝ what i mean, fox, is that i shall never feel confident in anything that any man ever does, ❞ she explained simply, giving an easy shrug of her shoulders, ❝ for i have learned that if you want something done --- and if you want it done well --- you must do it yourself. that is all. ❞ ⌟

        ⌜ ALULA DIDN’T SO much as lift her gaze to look at sapphira as she spoke, eye fixated on her matte black nails as she grimaced at a chip in the paint. ❝ who’s to say i can’t be both ?? ❞ she hummed, though her tone held an absence to it; she sounded disinterested. ❝ i don’t believe the two are mutually exclusive anyway --- they can go hand-in-hand, can coexist. the world will keep turning, sapphira, i assure you. ❞ she was arguing just for the sake of arguing, truly. ⌟

          IT HAD BEEN almost two weeks. two weeks since valentine’s day had come bad gone and two weeks since carys had vowed to not return home. she’d destroyed her bow and arrows long ago for firewood during her first week on her own and the past few nights she’d kept warm by curling her wings around herself. they’d worked to some degree, but she knew she couldn’t keep it up.

          she didn’t know which plants were poisonous, but she took her chances on them anyway, not wanting to shoot down any birds or capture any animals to eat. she couldn’t and wouldn’t hurt a fly.

          that was quickly becoming her downfall, however, as her stomach rumbled and she swallowed, desperately searching for something within herself to quench her thirst. she didn’t have the energy to get up anymore, and she could feel her eyes slowly closing, exhaustion taking over.

        ⌜ IT WAS VERY seldom that vista ever went out into the forest without being accompanied by another skull boi, for she most commonly found herself tagging along with finny or dusk when they went out. she didn’t like to be alone, especially not in the forest. it brought back vague memories of when she was abandoned by her parents with nothing by her unicorn stuffie in her hands and, although she knew that the skull bois would never abandon her, she still preferred not to be separated from them.

            there seemed to be a thunderstorm approaching, though, and finny had gone out to steal more food from the supermarket down the street, but vista had gained the sudden urge to go out and collect flowers, to surprise finny and dusk and the rest of the skull bois with something pretty to brighten up the mood that the storm was sure to bring.

            she had collected a handful of wildflowers, holding them tightly in her hands, and was about to head back home when she thought she spotted a human-like figure amidst the grass and the bushes. so, without so much as a moment of hesitation, she dive down through and between the trees and tumbled onto the grass beside the figure.

           ❝ oh !! you’re a girl !! with wings !! ❞ she exclaimed, a small smile upon her lips as she looked over the other. ❝ you’re not a faerie, though ... are you all right, even ?? you look quite ... not all right !! ❞ she chirped, standing over the winged girl. ⌟

          TITANIA DIDN’T SHOW her face in town if she could help it. there were too many variables, too many things that could go wrong if she bumped into somebody that she used to know from back in her school days, and she didn’t want to take that risk. she was a loner at heart and being around people wasn’t something she was good at. the only reason she was here in the first place was for groceries, as fawn hadn’t had any crops to spare that morning, and so she’d had to wander into town.

          she was making her way home, shopping bags in hand, when she finally started thinking she’d make it through this alive. she hadn’t seen anyone she recognised yet, and she didn’t think she would – at least, until she managed to bump into someone while rounding the corner. she stumbled back and dropped her bags.

          crouching down, she avoided eye contact with the person and began picking up her groceries as quickly as she possibly could. ❝ s-sorry, ❞ she muttered.

        ⌜ KAIUS HAD ONLY gone out into town that morning as a favour to marcel, seeing as the other boy had helped him with his potions work, so he had promised to return the favour by picking him up some more of his favourite tea. it had been about a week since such a promise was made and the faerie prince felt guilty for continuing to put his end of the deal off, so he’d forced himself out of bed bright and early that morning to assure he got it done.

            he was quite the absentminded boy, especially when he was fluttering through the sunkissed air, which caused for him not to entirely pay attention to where he was going as best as he probably should. he clutched the shopping bag in his hand, but his eyes and mind were on the sky, his attention only managing torn away from the fluffy clouds when he unexpectedly went crashing into someone.

            ❝ oh ... o -- oh. i’m so --- i’m so sorry. i should have been watch ... i should have been watching where --- where i was going, i wasn’t --- ❞ he quickly reached for the other’s bags, almost dropping his own where he was at it. ❝ i -- i hope you’re all right, i really --- ❞ he stopped mid-sentence, hand extended as he held out the previously fallen grocery bags to the❛ stranger ❜, but a light frown had come to his lips as soon as he gaze fell upon her; he failed to let so much as another sound fall from his lips. ⌟

          ELINORA RAISED HER eyebrows at the dismissive response. she knew that hearts could be strange sometimes ( both physically and metaphorically ), but not being aware of how loud your heart is beating ?? that was weird. perhaps it was just a side-effect of viveca’s species, a drawback. or perhaps it wasn’t considered a drawback at all, depending on how you looked at it. ❝ i don’t think that’s how the human body works, even if we’re not completely human. ❞ faeries were similar to humans in a lot of ways when it came to biology, but even they had their major differences. ❝ what ?? dying would be the perfect reason to get out of a test. don’t waste that opportunity. ❞

        ⌜ VIVECA HARDLY BOTHERED paying elinora any mind, simply continuing to look over the abundance of papers that were scattered in front of her. it was intentional, of course, her attempt to ignore the faerie princess’ concern or confusion --- she didn’t want to talk about the heart that didn’t belong to her that was pounding against the ribcage that also didn’t belong to her. ❝ it’s a good thing we’re not human, than, huh ?? i mean, hearts are weird. that demon boy of yours doesn’t even have a heart in his chest, so ... who’s really to say how they do or don’t work ?? none of us really know. ❞ excuses, excuses. she was just saying whatever she could to draw attention away from herself, truly. ❝ but if i die here, than i might be stuck here --- i think i’d rather take the test and get out of this place as soon as possible. ❞ she hummed, as if she wasn’t already dead. ⌟
