♣ — a fading memory

He had been young still. Not yet beholden to any house. It was just shortly after he had begun his training with his father.

Still he was going to be a knight! Bruises and cuts were minor in comparison. He wanted to be like his father and grandfather. He wanted nothing more then to serve his family and his nation. To make his family proud. Thoughts of serving a High House were the last thing on his mind at this age.

However he had wandered down towards the Brume a bit too far today while lost in his thoughts. Soon he found himself surrounded by four Brume kids. All taller and rough looking. He was a upper class kid in the wrong side of town. Lance only had his wooden sword for training with him. Something his father insisted he should carry. To get used to the weight of a weapon.

He tried to defend himself. Tried to fight back. Four on one for a yet rather untrained boy were odds he didn’t stand a chance with. Yet suddenly they scattered like rats. Lance wiped at his bloody nose as he looked around to see what had caused them to suddenly run off. He caught sight of his father’s displeased face. Though that look was not directed at him but rather the kids who had run off.

Lance tried to fight off the urge to cry to his father. His father expected him to be tough. To take the blows and keep on fighting. So Lance stood up and tried to hold his head high despite the pain and blood. Vairemont finally turned to look at his son with a soft sigh. He took Lance’s chin in his hand and began to inspect the damage done to the boy.

“Nothing too badly it seems. We shall have to work on your skills against multiple opponents I see. Come let’s go back to the house and get you cleaned up. There will be no training today.” Vairemont said as he took a cloth from his pocket and began to gently wipe the blood away on Lance’s face.

(Thanks @kindlingdusk Sorry for the long wait.)

29: What do you notice first about another person? (For all!)

“I am afraid to admit it but I tend to notice first how a person looks overall. Most definitely their physical appearance. Of course I am no fool to believe just because I find someone attractive that they are a decent person. I do not judge the book by its cover.” She lowers her voice and looks away shyly before continuing. “While it is a bit shameful to admit… A part of me wants longs to find bits of Leon in those people. His eyes or skin tone or hair. An it ends up getting me teased on occasion for having eyes for Duskwights or darker skinned Wildwood. Not that I have actually gone looking for a long while. For reasons.”

“Eyes. I tend to notice the eyes first. Even those of us accustomed to wearing a mask can not always hide what our eyes show. The eyes are said to be the windows into one’s soul. They are sometimes more expressive then we are willing to openly show. Physical appearance matters less to me then who a person is on the inside. So I would rather look to a person’s eyes to determine what they might be like. If they are worth my time. If they possess that fire and passion I am looking for.”

(Thanks! @ashoix & @kibuto since you both asked the same question. :D)

24 for everyone. o uo

24: Do you think love can last forever?

image

“Sometimes. However I also feel it can be just as fragile as it is strong. I think whether it lasts forever or not depends on the person or people involved. Love is much like the future. It is not stone. There are so many small variables that can affect or change it. However if you find the right person I feel it is possible that it can. Finding that person though is the real challenge.”

image

“I think it can. Yet I am still waiting for the right person to come along and test that though. At least as far finding my other half goes that is. The love between family is another story entirely. I think what has begun between my cousin and I will become a bond that is unbreakable. The love for the rest of my family… It is strained though still there.”

(Thanks! @skysteelsun I still owe you a teamwork memory ask too. XD Just trying to come up with something good.)

4: Have you ever changed for someone?

“In a way yes though not nearly the way one would think.” Destiney smiles warmly at a memory of the person she spoke of. “I changed for him more then for myself. Though he would scold me if he knew that. I was broken when we met. Just a fragment of the girl I used to be. His actions and care. The general warmth he provided made me want to be less broken. So I changed for his sake. However fate separated us not long after I began to slowly find myself again. Leon has still been the best thing that has ever happened to me besides finding my home among my current free company.”

(Thank you for the compliment and the ask. ^///^ I’m not really that awesome of a writer but I do appreciate the compliment very much. ❤ An I seen you reblog the V-Day prompt but you don’t have asks turned on to have any sent to you. Just to let you know. @klou98 )

☽ — a memory of their father

Destiney knew she was in trouble before she had even made it in the door. Her clothes were covered in dirt and mud. She and Atix had gone off on their own in the woods. Even though the guild leader had warned them against wandering too far. To show for their venture Atix had hurt his leg and they were both filthy.

She had left Atix outside with her mother where she could tend to the injury he had gotten in the fall. Now she had to face her father who had more then likely already heard of their adventure from the guild leader. She knocked lightly before entering, not looking up to see how much she felt her father would be disappointed in her.

“Destiney.” She flinched at the sound of her name said by her father. Though her eyes widened in surprise as he embraced her warmly. “Don’t ever do that again. When the guild leader came back to tell me you and your friend had vanished… Your mother and I already lost your brother. Please don’t worry us like that.”

“I’m sorry, papa.” Destiney rested her head against her father’s chest. She knew her parents were considering her brother dead for as long as he had been missing.

“You realize this means extra chores as punishment yes?”

“Of course, papa. I didn’t mean for anything bad to happen. I just wanted to have a bit of fun and explore.” Destiney said when her father finally released her from the hug.

“Things are dangerous, dear one. I’m glad the two of you came back safe enough. There is talk of even more dangerous times ahead. I just want you safe. Both of us want you safe.” He affectionately ruffled her hair as he smiled warmly. “Now go get cleaned up. I’m sure your friend is in good hands with your mother. I have work to get ready for. We’ll discuss your punishment further when I get home from duty.”

(Thanks! @ikara-esho and @ghostly0rigins for the mention. A sort of continuation of this here.)

Tataru: What does your character find cute?– Pick whichever you like! :3

On By destiney1984Leave a comment

(Lots of things. XD As long as they aren’t trying to kill her. If they try to kill her they are no longer cute. Like Mandragoras… She does think dragonets are cute. As are baby chocobos. Wolf pups. Certain clothes that she can turn into an outfit to wear. Flowers she can wear in her hair. Certain people like Ikara. I would say Nate but he’s not cute. He’s more towards handsome rather then cute. His behavior of acting knightly towards her is cute though. XD I could continue but I’ll leave it at that.)

Riol: What’s my character’s greatest success?

On By destiney1984Leave a comment

(Finding her way into the ranks of the Order. Or at least I think that has been her greatest success. She had been finding her place in the world with them and healing from her past. With them she feels safe and happy most of the time. Even if Oni does sometimes turn her hair blue with his antics. She would probably consider not failing the Order so far as her own greatest success in her point of view.)

image

(Lance’s greatest success is hard. He’d probably say surviving this war and the Steel Vigil. While I think it’s more just surviving the things his family has been putting him through recently and what is to come.)

Merlwyb: Can my character swim?

“Of course I can swim. I grew up in the Twelveswood. It might not have the ocean but there are enough bodies of water that were deep enough for a kid to learn how to swim. I very much like the water.”

image

“Sadly no. My father wasn’t big on us learning things that were not needed as I was growing up. An then Coerthas and Ishgard froze over because of the Calamity. I do not fancy the idea of learning to swim in icy waters. Otherwise swimming has never really come to mind. Never seemed like something I needed to know how to do.”

image

(Karigan knows how to swim but won’t go near water that you can’t just safely stand in. Not after she nearly drowned once. That was all the more she needed to avoid going anywhere near boats or water again. Not that it was her fault. It was stormy and the ocean is never friendly in a storm.)

(Thanks! @kindlingdusk)

👶 – As a kid, what were they like? – Karigan

On By destiney1984Leave a comment

(Oh gawd… She isn’t one to talk about her past. An highly unlikely to discuss what she was like as a kid. So I guess I’m answering for her. 😛 Stubborn catte. Karigan was nothing like she is now. She was quiet and very much a loner. I mean she is still sort of a loner but she is far from quiet now. She was definitely not as active as she is now. She more enjoyed sticking her nose in a book an being left alone. Things happened in her teenage years that changed her from the quiet catte to the bold and sassy thing she is now.)

(Thanks! @ethereal-anomaly Sorry for taking so long to answer this. Karigan has been particularly stubborn recently.)

💢 – Something other’s do that gets on their nerves – for Lancefer!

“I try not to let what other people do bother me. At least not so openly. I’ve gotten pretty good at pretending things are fine. Unless that person is bullying someone or insulting the Haillenarte name. Then I am highly unlikely to keep my mouth shut.”

(An people who make his cousin cry gets on his nerves too. XD Though he’s not going to openly admit that. But he did challenge Nate to a fight because of it. Even though Nate wasn’t really Nate at the time of the incident either. ^_^; Heh.)

(Thanks! @neoma-eltanin Sorry I took forever to answer this.)
