05: A memory that your character wishes to erase 

“A memory to erase huh?” Destiney looks away, her expression melancholy. “I… Occidens. Definitely Occidens. It has left the most lasting impression on me then any other memory. At least as far as bad memories go. Killing them. Trying to get myself killed. The lasting effects I suffer for it. Yes that would be a memory worth erasing. Though not the act itself. What’s done is done. I might have ended up somewhere different in life if the actually event was erased. But just the memory… Yes that I wouldn’t mind.”

16: What your character does on a day off

“It varies depending on what is happening in my life at the time.” Lance says with a shrug as he places his sword and shield on the table of his bedroom. He tugs his chainmail off over his head an leaves it on table as well. “Before? I used to wander about Ishgard. Sometimes go to the occasional party for my family’s sake. Sometimes just work out an try to keep myself in good shape. Now? I explore more. I’ve come to realize just what all lies beyond Ishgard and Coerthas thanks to the things that have been happening. Sometimes I go down into the ruins in the South Shroud checking on the rumors that Lord Chlodebaimt’s spirit haunts those halls. Other times I spend time in the company of my cousin or the people she has come to call her family.”

08: Something that makes your character laugh 

“Laugh? Hmm.” Karigan taps a finger against the side of her face in thought. “Jokes. If they are good jokes. Accidents sometimes make me laugh as long as no one gets hurt. Like accidentally hitting someone in the head with an apple.”

17: What kind of books your character reads

“A wide variety actually.” Destiney gestures towards the two tall bookcases lining the wall over towards the fireplace of her house. “I have more in my private room at the company house even. History, Research, even Novels.”

She walks over an pulls a book off the shelf, opening it up. “As far as novels go… Adventure, Heroics, and even sometimes Romance. Really depends on my mood when I am interested in reading something.”

Destiney couldn’t help but laugh. Not that his words of him being blinding without a shirt were funny. Merely because she was sure she knew someone who could top him in that. “I bet I have seen someone more blinding then you without a shirt. We do a different beach at the end of each week. Imagine getting to see that once a week. I’m surprised I have any sight left.”

Her easy demeanor faded a bit the closer they got to Wineport. Eyes drifting towards the northeast more then once. Yet she managed to hold onto a smile even if it was not nearly as bright anymore. “Hard to believe it’s been a little over three years since I left here an became who I am today. Though for the better I will admit.”

Riski glanced down at her, not answering immediately. They walked in silence for a little ways before he shook his head, saying, “What is it about three years ago? It seems like everything terrible that happened to most people was either the Calamity, or three years ago.” There wasn’t much humor in the chuckle he couldn’t stop. “We’re all stronger for it, sure, but the timing is just… weird.”

There was a sort of melancholy that was trying to creep in, but Riski shrugged it off. He grinned, skipping ahead again and looking back at her. “Hey, look on the bright side. If you ever want a coeurl kitten, you know where to find one now.”

“Maybe it was something the Twelve had planned in a larger scheme then just individuals. Maybe it is merely the fate of each soul at that time. It is really hard to point a finger at any one answer on the whys of something so complex. There may even be a completely logical answer even if one was to dwell deep enough into the events that happened. Yet something so complex might take years to unravel if one could at all.” The words were mostly to herself though they were in response to Riski’s words. Her brain tumbling over the reasons or possibilities like a puzzle needing solved. She probably would have continued pondering over the answer until Riski skipped ahead of her again.

“Oh I doubt I want a kitten running about my house. I already have a wolf pup and on occasion a dragonet when she is visiting. Adding a kitten to that mix would be absolute chaos.” Destiney laughs brightly as she tries to imagine her house with another pet running about. A cat of all things paired with the wolf and dragonet. No that was one scenario she was not ready to endure.

“Hm, it does sound like you’ve got a pretty full house. I’m something of a cat person, myself.” Riski’s grin softened, but the way his eyes lit up with a wicked gleam was in direct contrast. “Nothing like stroking a happy cat that’s sitting on your lap and purring at you.”

He beckoned to Destiney as they reached the gates of Wineport. “So a wolf pup and a dragonet, huh?”

Destiney couldn’t help but laugh at the look on Riski’s face, blushing softly. Her mind was already making guesses based on that look in his eyes. Though she had a feeling he definitely wasn’t directing that at her. But her mind could definitely make assumptions.

She pushed the thoughts aside as they reached the gates of Wineport and he asked about her own pets. “Tucker and Lady. Tucker is my wolf pup I found abandoned. Lady just seems to like to follow me out of curiosity now that things are less tense between Ishgard and Dragons. She hates being called a pet though. Will bite my ear if I do it. I can’t speak her language but she is very vocal in actions.”

“I’m nowhere near responsible enough to take care of another living creature,” Riski admitted easily with a shake of his head. “A few hours, maybe, if it’s tied up and left in my care, but…” He shrugs. “I can see where some people really enjoy keeping pets for their company and antics.”

He glances over his shoulder at her and lifts his eyebrows. “How did you manage to come across a dragonet? Especially one that doesn’t want to maul your face. I mean, I sure wouldn’t admit to having one that followed me around in Ishgard of all places, relaxed attitudes or not.”

“I don’t mind having a pet. I wouldn’t say I am terribly good at it though. But I couldn’t just let him starve on his own or become prey for some other creature. I have taken a liking to him though. I usually just leave him in the care of my mother a lot of the time. I think it makes her feel like she has kids again.” She smiles fondly at the memory. Introducing Tucker to her mother for the first time. “He likes my mother a lot. I think she spoils him too much though.”

“As far as Lady goes… I actually avoid Ishgard when she is with me. I don’t trust most of them not to try an kill her. She’s been back with her mother for the last couple of months though. I found her in the forelands while doing some freelance work.” Destiney laughs lightly an rubs her right ear. “I thought she was going to take a chunk of my ear off. Lady is very curious an young. I don’t think she had time to build a hate for people yet.”

Destiney halted a moment at the suddenly chilly tone to his voice. Damn it. She had stepped over a line again she had not realized was there. Was not the first time she had done so. Though the last time was a different friend. She moved to stand before him, holding her hands up in a surrendering posture, a hurt look to her expression for a moment.

“I apologize. I meant no ill will. I merely meant you should not speak so poorly of yourself.” She looked sadly down towards the ground at their feet, dropping her hands to her sides finally. “You shouldn’t make yourself less. I should not have jested about it. However I can see I have worn out my welcome. I truly am sorry, Basteaux. An I would still enjoy a chance to get drinks with you sometime if you would forgive me for my words.”

She sighed heavily an turned to start walking towards Quarrymill. “I have some work I needed to do over towards Quarrymill anyways. The Wailers needed some reports on Redbelly activity.” She knew she shouldn’t have said it. It was almost like a silent appeal towards the man’s work of clearing this part of the Shroud of bandits. She wanted him to forgive her but she wasn’t sure if staying an expecting it would make things worse or better. Probably worse. She slipped the familiar mask out of her pocket and slipped it into place. She looked back towards him one more time, sparing him a warm smile.

Got the new layout for my tumblr up. Much better then the last one. Profiles an such still need updated. XD As do the tags. An I am working on asks an drafts (RP responses) when I am not distracted. XD

However I was bored an the brain too tired to think last night. So I made new asks images for each of the kids. Including the three I’m not ready to answer asks on. (Well technically I could on Alexois but I want to get his profile done a bit first.)

There’s the main three kiddos. An then the three unfinished kids.

An the other three who are still WIP. I’ll probably end up redoing Keaira’s eventually . Did not have many images to pick from for her. Didn’t have many for Alex but he at least had better choices. Adel has been a fairly quite kid until last night. She’s just been chilling an watching the main three in their chaos.

Dest’s still turned out the best of all of them though. XD Though I do like Lance’s too.

11: Describe your character’s childhood friend (Destiney)

(Totally had to answer this one first. @ghostly0rigins and I have actually been working on something between Dest and Atix that this covers. :D)

She was more wild and active. Constantly finding something fun to do. Something new to explore. While his nose would rather be buried in a book an being left alone. He was always so passive and quiet compared to her more outgoing nature. Somehow though the two of them had become friends regardless of being near opposites.

Dest would often drag Atix off to see something she found. The two of them connected by their archery and their mothers both being botanists. However she lost touch with him when her parents sent her to Ishgard for a time.

Of course she also had her husband as a childhood friend but he wasn’t nearly as fun to drag about on adventures as Atix had been. He was far less likely to allow her to drag him out into the Twelveswood. An definitely didn’t understand the first thing about archery.

There’s a deep peace in the snow-covered forest at early dawn. The sun is trying to show its face, fighting through the clouds to sparkle where it strikes the crisp coating of snow and ice.

The first notes hang in the air, shivery and cold just like everything else. They are tentative, unsure. The sound fades, the artist pausing to adjust the tension of the strings to account for the chill before he draws out another piece of the melody.

Even in the stillness and cold of the early morning, he knows the vulnerability presented by this one act. But it’s more than a desire – it’s almost a calling, a need pressed on him by an outside force stronger than himself. He’s purposely far from home, deep in the trees of the Twelveswood where no one in their right mind would be at an hour such as this. Even so, his bow is strung and ready beside him where he can reach it in an instant.

Basteaux draws a bow of another kind over the strings of his violin, his fingers moving with deceptive ease to coax notes from the instrument. It sings under his touch, a soaring tribute to the brilliance of the shining world around him.

As the final strains ring through the stillness, he opens his eyes. She’s the first thing he sees, and he immediately drops one bow in order to reach for the other. But there’s recognition after that initial jolt, and he bends to retrieve the abandoned object from the crust of the snow at his feet.

(From here)

Destiney didn’t mind that he was out of practice. He certainly didn’t play like he was. Though the difference in the two pieces was clear. As was the tension in his form. Either way it was still a pleasing piece. This piece was still less… Free then the last. It lacked the same heart and soul. Not that this piece didn’t have a heart of it’s own. It was just less. Too structured.

“I’m sorry, Basteaux.” She hadn’t missed that look on his face when he finished. Maybe she shouldn’t have asked him to play for her specifically. But there was something about it that she couldn’t resist. Now she felt guilty for ruining his mood. Never had it been her intention to disrupt his morning in this way. “I did not mean to ruin your morning.”

The instrument fit into a small, padded case that he slung over his shoulder alongside his quiver. With it taken care of, Basteaux turned the full weight of his attention back to Destiney. “You did not attack me, nor did you request anything I did not choose to give freely. If there is any blight on this morning, it would be one of my own making.”

He looked past her, up to where the sun was beginning to make its climb in earnest. “I must be going. Though I wish you well on this morning, and hope whatever task has brought you out here is one that does not bring you trouble.”

She watched in silence as he carefully took care of his instrument. Somehow his words really did little to soothe the feeling of guilt over the sudden change of his playing. But she kept that opinion to herself. He would probably just blame himself again. That was far from what she wanted.

She stepped up beside him, a soft smile on her lips. Intentions perfectly clear that she meant to follow him for a bit. “Where are you heading? I could walk with you for a bit. If you don’t mind of course. I was mostly out here for a bit of peace. My company can be quite chaotic at times. An the woods are calming.”

Piercing blue-green eyes softened slightly as he looked to her again. There was something about Destiney that reminded him of Elle, somehow, and it made it difficult to shrug her off the same way he did with most people. “I was going to find a place to make camp for the day,” he admitted, ducking his head as the sun found its way through the trees to strike him directly in the face.

“Surely you have places you’d rather be than the middle of nowhere with someone like me,” Basteaux added with a small shake of his head.

Kind blue eyes stared back at him. There was a certain amount of joy in that look, mixed with just a tiny bit of mischief. Her hand raised to shield her eyes for a moment as they walked through that patch of sunlight. Dropping that hand back to her side once they were no longer in that patch of sun.

“Even I am allowed to have nothing to do on occasion. Well… Correction. I have things to do but I don’t want to do them right now. They aren’t something that needs to be rushed.” She shrugs an waves a hand dismissively at the thought of the work that needed done. “I needed a break honestly. Work for the Order isn’t bad but it can be stressful at times. On top of my other work even. Is it wrong to want to merely enjoy a bit of a walk with someone you want to get to know better? An do not talk of yourself that way.” She shakes her head before going to mimic his last few words in a rather comically bad attempt at a male voice. “Someone like me.”
