75. How patient are they?

(Destiney’s patience tends to vary depending on the topic or event. As well as her mood. The darker her mood the less patient she is going to be. She tries hard to be patient though. She sort of needs to with being a healer. Overall Destiney has a decent amount of patience most times. Especially with people she is trying to get to open up an talk to her. That is when she seems to have the most patience.)

98. Something that they regret? 

(Oh goodness… Killing those Imperial soldiers outside of Castrum Occidens. Her first an only time killing actual people. While she doesn’t want to change the past anymore she does still regret that choice. She still can’t even go near the place. Yet. She just need a bit more time to come to accept what happened.)

44. Why might someone love them? 

(Dest can be a very good listener. Caring and kind when she is around people she trusts. I know Chee considers her like a sister. So despite still working to repair the parts of her that are broken emotionally, she still has some rather endearing qualities as well. Heck those broken parts are what has made her into a more caring person. Especially towards others like Nate and Quarcy who she finds herself drawn to. Because she understands the pain even if it is not the same causes.)

75. How patient are they?

(Lance is actually really patient in most cases. At least more patient then Destiney. Unless it’s battle or dealing with heretics/dragons. He can be goaded into being less patient while fighting. Especially when he had his spar with Raiden. XD Raiden just kept pushing his buttons. But being from upper class society in Ishgard, he learned patience is sometimes better then rushing. It’s all a matter of how you play the game.)

98. Something that they regret?

(Lance regrets he wasn’t able to do more to aid in the fighting at the Steel Vigil. He was still in many ways still a novice at the time. Now he uses it as a driving factor to fuel his desire to see Haillenarte restored.)

44. Why might someone love them? 

(Lance is honorable and respectable. He treats everyone fairly until they have given him reason to be any different. He is also a hopeless romantic when it comes to the person he decides to date. Which to this day has not been very many serious relationships.)

image

75. How patient are they?

(She’s not a patient kitty. Not one bit. She is headstrong and brash. Which sometimes gets her hurt or into dangerous situations. An sometimes her impatience will lead to her saying things she doesn’t really mean.)

98. Something that they regret?

(She regrets the words she said to her father before she ran away. Not that she will openly admit it. She does wish she could take back the things she said and did. But she’s stubborn an won’t.)

Destiney just had to smile. He had a point. What did it matter as long as she enjoyed herself. Not like she had ever cared what the other kids had thought back then anyways. She had come to care a bit more what some people thought now but… Nope still didn’t care what people who didn’t know her thought. Daisy decided to take a seat on her shoulder as she was walking with Riski.

Her eyes were more on the toads then the dimming of his smile. Ugh she hated those toads. Definitely did not want to get pulled in by one of their tongues so she made sure to remain close to Riski as they passed by. She looked back to him as he gave an answer that was evasive. She could tell as he avoided answering the question completely. It was still an answer though. Well that or he had misunderstood but she was leaning more towards evasion. Obviously something about it wasn’t something he wanted to discuss. She wasn’t about to pry though. “I’m originally from Gridania. Spent several years in Ishgard and now live in Ul’dah. So we’re both a bit of the traveling type I’d say. I don’t do near the amount of freelance work I used to though. So I see less of the world then I once did.”

Riski put a protective arm around Destiney as they skirted the toads, releasing her again when they were in the clear. It wasn’t that he didn’t respect her personal space, it just seemed like the right thing to do when she crowded in on him for shelter. “I like the freedom travel provides. I never have to stay in the same place twice if I don’t want to, and the faces change with the locales.” He chuckled and offered her a wink. “Except when destiny plays a hand,” he said with mock seriousness, violet eyes sparkling at the punnish phrase. It had additional meaning to him as well, which made it even more pleasing.

“Ul’dah is an interesting place. A little too hot for my taste, but I’ve had a few jobs out there. And learned some interesting dance moves.” It had been a while since he’d last visited the desert city. That, he mused, would need to be corrected sometime in the near future. “How do you deal with the heat, living there?”

It had been tempting to lean into that protective arm. Though not quite tempting enough. Mostly because she was relatively unarmed for combat against toads and maybe because the thought of toad tongues made her squeamish. That an the actual physical contact wasn’t so bad once she was past the initial blushing an shyness about such actions. His pun made her laugh merrily. Usually she just groaned at the ‘Destiny’ puns that were made but she was enjoying hearing them from Riski. Probably cause she could make puns in return. “Well sometimes the Risk is worth taking too. I must admit though that seeing everything the world has to offer is always a nice perk.”

A casual shrug at the mention of the heat on Ul’dah. It was never really something she gave much thought to. “I just do. I think maybe it doesn’t bother me very much after living in Ishgard for five years in never ending winter. Not that the snow isn’t pretty at times. I’d rather enjoy it from inside in front of a fire with a good book though then actually be in it. Not that I am interested in going back to Ishgard either.”

“I’m always up for taking a risk,” Riski agreed cheerfully. “And I think maybe you’re just a special person. Lucky, too!” He skipped a few steps ahead of her, turning around to walk backward while he faced Destiney. “So what’d you have to live in Ishgard for? Not a typical place to just move to for the sake of it.”

He turned again to face the path ahead just in time to avoid tripping on a fallen tree branch. He hopped over it instead, showing significantly more bounce than he’d had while stuck under that tree. Amazing what a difference it was when one was no longer partially paralyzed.

His cheerfulness was infectious. Heck just watching him behave like this was. It was like he enjoyed being so carefree. “Depends on your definition of lucky and special.” She chuckled softly. “Bad luck? Oh I have plenty of that. Though I guess I have my share of good luck at times too.”

“As far as Ishgard…” Her expression was hard to read, almost a blank mask. An automatic response for the most part. She reached into the pouch at her waist to pull out a white half-mask. Like those worn by the Woodwailers or Gods’ Quiver. She held it up to her face an gave a weak a smile before continuing. “I went to live with some relatives for a while right before the calamity. My father was a Gods’ Quiver. He had to join the fighting. My mother went with him because she was a conjurer. She was born an raised in Ishgard but left to become an adventurer before she met my father.” Carefully she lowered the mask an tucked it away once more. “I got shipped there for safety. Not that dragons and heretics are much safer then Garleans.” She shrugs casually.

(Okay fine I’ll bite. XD Though it’s hard when none of my characters are very mean. There was only two there that Kari might say. So meh. I’ll try to be helpful. XD) “It’s all your fault!”

It was supposed to be a simple yet kind gesture; accompany the Miqo’te through a dangerous area. But so much had gone wrong and the two barely escaped in one piece at the end. Stressed from the run and frustrated at the temporary companion the Miqo’te had shared her thoughts to him in a single short line of blame.

Dusk flinched to the comment. ‘His fault?’ He repeated in his mind, feeling anger rise to have the blame put on him even after he was the one who managed to get them out of the danger in the end. His brow furrowed and his visible eye turned dark as he roared back in defense to her statement, equally frustrated as her. 

Turning quickly on his heel once he made his thoughts clear he left the Miqo’te there. Being alone on his way however and thinking of the situations they just made it through he slowly came to realize the mistakes he had made which ultimately had put them in the dangerous situation to begin with. 

Rage turned into regret and the frown turned into an expression of sadness. He just wanted to help but had failed, then just made things worse by leaving. Suddenly feeling the need to make up for his mistake he once again spun around to hurry back in hope the girl would still be there. Of course she wasn’t. 

With a heavy sigh and troubled eyes he scanned the area around to try find the Miqo’te without result. Dusk turned his gaze to the ground, disappointed in himself and sad he wouldn’t get the chance to make things up.

(Thanks @nebula1984 ! From the Sentence challenge meme !)

Karigan had hated the idea of asking for help if she could avoid it. This job though was more then she was ready to handle alone. So naturally she had had to look around for someone willing to help a young mercenary. Managed to recruit a sturdy looking Au Ra gentleman. Not that she knew much about the race or their clans. She just knew he looked tough.

Of course if things could go wrong they did. When they were safe she had shouted at him. She was angry an frustrated. More at herself then at him in general. They had both made mistakes. What she hadn’t expected was his roar of response. She managed to avoid flinching. Just barely. She held onto her anger like a blade, sharp an dangerous. At least until he stormed off.

She scaled a nearby tree that had a good solid branch to perch upon. A heavy sigh as she fished a faerie apple from her bag, staring at the ruby color. He had had every right to yell at her when she had blamed him. They had both been at fault for their mad dash to safety. Her ears drooped as she took a bite of the apple. Normally she wasn’t one to be so mean. Vocal yes but never truly had she ever blamed someone helping her. Though it was something she probably would have done eventually to someone.

Her ears perked up as she heard footsteps nearby. Apple half eaten hanging from her mouth. Her eyes widened in surprise. He had come back. Though part of her wondered if it was to yell at her again. He did have every right to since she had let her anger get the better of her.

“If ya came back to yell some more, get it over with.” Karigan called down from the branch she sat on, looking at the apple rather then at him. She thought about dropping it down towards his head but had chosen rather to speak instead. He didn’t really deserve a half eaten apple dropped on his head. “I deserves it. I was wrong to treat ya like that.”

His head perked up at the voice, startled and looking around to find the source before realizing it came from above him. Surprised to see the Miqo’te up in the tree yet relived that she was still here. Now he just hoped she would let him be her companion again to make up for the mistake.

With slumped shoulders to show his shame he shook his head lightly to dismiss what she said as he looked up at her with concern. “I’m sorry for getting us in trouble…” He said with a sad tone. “Can I still help you?”

Nervous about the answer his gaze turned to the ground, ready for a rejection and having to travel alone again.

Blue cats eyes stared down at Dusk, giving him a long assessing stare. Her tail swished back an forth gently behind her, ears twitching ever so slightly. It was a long moment of silence from the seeker in the tree. She leans forward slightly to better look down at him.

“I don’t see why not. I can’t very well finish the job on my own.” She shrugs an takes another bite of the apple. Inside she was actually very relieved that he had offered to help still. It saved her the time of finding someone else to help her finish. As well as he hadn’t been all that bad despite the chaos they had gotten into. Not that she couldn’t get into enough trouble on her own of course.

Of course she had leaned a bit too far forward an upset her own balance on the branch. Her arms pinwheeled to try an regain her balance. In the process… Whoops. There went the apple sailing up into the air for a moment before dropping down towards Dusk’s head. Karigan came tumbling down after but not towards the Xaela. She did land on her feet first but only to wind up falling backwards onto her butt.

“I meant to do that…” Her cheeks turned pink in embarrassment.

So during a bit of RP last night Aimee might have mentioned something about Dest dying her hair black to hide the blue. I wasn’t sure black was really fitting on her. Thought her skin tone might be wrong for it. It actually doesn’t look too bad. So she’s going to have black hair for a bit. 😛 Just cause she can.

As well as the Order had an impromptu snowball fight instead of doing the mission they were supposed to be doing. Yay for snowball fights. (And of course more Destiney & Nate.)

28. Are they happy where they are currently? and also 33. Do they own any objects of significant personal importance?

(Destiney is mostly happy where she is currently. I say mostly because she is still working through some problems. However the causes of those problems she no longer wishes she could change cause then she might have ended up somewhere else entirely then with the people she now calls family.)

Destiney runs her fingers over the rune carved into the light green stone. Eyes drifting away from it for a moment to the small handheld harp on the table. She reaches over an trails her fingers softly over the strings. It had been around three years. Still she held on to them as if it was the same as him still being here with her. She clutches the stone to her chest an takes a shaky breath. No tears came though. She missed him but… She had cried enough the day she lost him. Now these physical items were more of a comfort then a sadness. Something else had upset her today an she had come to her room just to be near these items. To remember his warmth an presence. He had always been able to make her feel calm again.

image

(No. Lance isn’t truly happy where he is right now. For various reasons. Though his life has gotten a bit brighter then the never ending winter of Coerthas and Ishgard. Leaving Ishgard territory to follow his cousin around has proven to be a change for the better. So he’ll eventually find a way to be completely happy.)

(Lance doesn’t really have anything he holds that is significantly important. Not physically anyways. Coming from an upper class family he put less value on objects then memories. Maybe eventually but for now no.)

image

(Of course she isn’t happy. But that doesn’t stop her from trying to find happiness. For her that would be finding a good team of mercenaries to take her in. Oh an being successful. She wants a better life. It’s a part of the reason she ran away from home. She wasn’t happy then an she still isn’t happy yet. But she knows she’ll get what she wants eventually. If she doesn’t run out of patience first.)

(She has one item she keeps regardless of everything in her life. A simple gold ring. It used to belong to her mother at one time when she was little. Her mother passed away and she kept the ring close. So even if she and her father are currently at odds, that ring never leaves her hand. If anyone tries to take it they better be ready for one hell of a fight. She’ll go all out to get that ring back or to protect it. It’s the only thing she kept when she left home.)

91. What is their sense of humor like? (Lancefer), 69. Is there anything that they find really gross? (Destiney), 8. What’s the weirdest thing they’ve ever eaten? (Karigan)

On By destiney1984Leave a comment

(His sense of humor is about average. He will sometimes make jokes but rarely does pranks. Doesn’t really do running jokes with puns. So his cousin is actually the one with a better sense of humor. However he tries to avoid joking around with people he barely knows, afraid of offending someone accidentally.)

image

A panicked scream. A flurry of movement. Destiney was bolting back away from the repulsive creature as her allies moved in to the fight. A Pudding had tried to sneak up on the group from behind.

“KeepItAway! KeepItAway!” Destiney rambled off as she hid behind the rest of her team. “Ew ew ew! It touched me!” She frantically rubs the sleeve of her jacket across the bare skin of her leg where the creature had touched her for just a moment.

(Anything slimy! Slimes, Puddings, Octopus, Toad tongues. 😛 If it leaves a slimy feeling behind by touching her she is going to freak out an panic.)

image

“Uh…” She hesitates at the question, ears flattening against her head. “I can’t turn down food even if it’s weird. When you spend some days living off what meager stuffs ya got then you rarely turn down food. But the weirdest so far is Tree Toad Legs. I don’t much like the stuff. But as I said, food is food.”
