THREE YEARS
* ☽ / HOSHIUMIES·.
❛ make no mistake , i am not here out of concern , or anything . ❜ tooru meanders his way next to his fellow soldier’s side , his pegasus reined to a tree nearby . he hands the other a bowl of … well , it’s something ? ❛ everyone was getting very rowdy . i did not like the noise . and i thought i might as well get two tasks done ; find some solace , and hand you tonight’s rations . ❜ despite what he’s said , it’s quite evident that he’s made himself quite comfortable in that spot already . not like he’d reveal this aloud , of course . and should it be brought up ? well , he has plenty of ways to deflect such inquisitions . / @astraed
❝ I DID NOT ASK YOU FOR THIS. ❞ still, with the bowl shoved into his grasp, it made refusing difficult. one hand leaves his blade — which he was sharpening moments before — accepting the gruel. the beige lumpiness seems reminiscent of potato stew and evokes a rather content huff. ❝ but ... thank you. ❞ his routine usually demanded he eat in solitude once the halls cleared. at least on this evening, he would not dine at midnight. ❝ if you come seeking solace, not conversation, you’re in luck. ❞
* ☽ / EXALTFATE.
❛ i will not ignore those who are in pain. ❜ voice firm, words forced out in one heavy exhale. he scolds with purpose. ❛ that includes you, lon’qu. the injuries you’ve sustained during our last battle might not seem troublesome to you, but i will not allow you to overwork yourself. ❜ a pause for another intake of breath and to shift his stance. ❛ you need to fully recover before you hurt yourself even more. ❜ / @astraed
❝ MY PAIN IS SOLELY MY BURDEN. ❞ he answers curtly, lon’qu’s eclipsed scowl fixated upon the bandages he continued to wrap around his sliced bicep. ❝ it is my weakness which caused this. ❞ by his feet, the killing edge lies in wait. the barest inclinations of a wince pinch at the corner of his eyes as fresh blood seeps into the bandages. saddled with a reopened wound, he sighs, reaching towards a nearby table for more cloth. ❝ and i did not ask to be coddled. ❞
' train with me. '
❛ we haven’t had an opportunity to train together, have we, lon ‘qu? ❜ melancholic as his words may sound, there is a hint of a smile at the edge of his features —— a ghost ‘pon his lips, if you will. there is a sense of fondness when he is able to spend time with his soldiers, his army. after all, these people are not just simply awaiting a gruesome martyr’s death for their nation —— no, chrom would never have it that way. ❛ khan basilio speaks highly of your skill. it would be an honor to train with you. ❜

* ☽ / LAEVITICUS.
calamity meets at world’s end —– there, ironically, he finds peace. and it is but the same fog that lingers on the cobblestone streets; in fortresses and corridors, drapes the innocents and exorcists in their beds with a soft veil —- peace, tranquility, solace. it finds its place here. ❝ i would be lying if i said you didn’t. ❞ a tug at his lips, a small smile. the truth was he often thought of all those he left behind. it was —- until now —- another secret thrown atop a pile of many others.
a sudden ache and constant pangs of his chest would render him speechless. eyes close and he looks not at the hand that now caressed his own. receding now would only stir up regret —— and he couldn’t muster enough energy to even move his own hand. the long lectures and scoldings that he would earn if such act was public, it tempted him to take back his hand. but he doesn’t. ❝ it’s been awhile. ❞ ( i missed you, he meant to say. )
THE FULL MOON CUTS THROUGH, dripping in a pale moonlight — his smile, thin but so familiar, evokes a similar softening upon lon’qu’s expression. but even so, it only remains for a few stray moments before his gaze hardens. the regret comes first, spilling out into his chest and, face now reddened even further from shame. their station, their scriptures of their shared duty, echoes through the stone hallways, shadowing him.
❝ MY APOLOGIES. I WAS NOT THINKING. ❞ he forces out quickly in a gruff voice, face still stained with rose. his embrace is retracted, right hand resting upon the comfort of his blade’s hilt. ❝ how long are you here for? perhaps we could — ah... ❞ the voices trails off, brown eyes unsure, drift downwards. their garden of flowers had bloomed, he had thought, but never was he so adept at keeping secrets.
* ☽ / LAEVITICUS.
❝ admittedly, i heard word of more units dispatching —— i’m just … surprised to see you were among said units. ❞ home long since abandoned, he became inspector only to leave behind the family he cherished. the familiarity in the other’s company, alone, is as unnerving as it is relieving. a paradox of his own making, of course. ❝ forgive me, i doubt you’d want to listen to me ramble. ❞ he sighs, lifting a weight from his chest : ❝ i am glad to see you are safe. ❞
A CRESTFALLEN DROP TO HIS GAZE, brown meets crimson and his breathing staggers for a mere moment. he’s forgotten how striking they were, dripping a elderberry ichor into his veins, his spine shivering. ❝ i... am also so glad you are safe. ❞ and despite the rumors that surrounded his latest assignment, the only solace he could find were in link’s skills, his vaunted abilities. it somewhat sated the pangs of worry, a weakness leaking into his joints. ❝ i pray i haven’t caused you worry. ❞
HESITATION CLOUDS HIS ACTION, but without warning, his hand ghosts forward. selfishness, a flaw he cannot seem to swallow, as he grabs for link’s hand. callouses run against back of his hand, soft, familiar. he opens his mouth but only a silence follows, eyebrows pinching together — yearning, and submerged in the folly of man, of flesh.

“Chon'sin is one of many small countries in Valm. Most of its citizens are Myrmidons and Swordmasters, but the nation is generally peaceful. Many of its aspects parallel feudal Japan in terms of culture and customs. Chon'sin houses an ancient crypt where the bodies of many famous swordsmen lay to rest. According to Say'ri, genealogy is important as every citizen can trace their lineage through the legendary names of their ancestors.“
anyways so lon’qu is korean thanks and chon’sin aka japan colonized his homeland

HEADCANON DUMP ( 1 / ?? )
001. LON’QU IS ILLITERATE. this is rather straightforward but lon’qu raised himself on the streets. he explains to his child that as a youth, he was forced to act rather dishonorably in order to secure a meal. he has never received a proper education and once becoming a feroxi pit fighter, found no need to develop that skill.
002. WHILE HE IS FROM CHON’SIN, that is not a tangible part of his identity, hence why he leaves and adopts regna ferox as his home. in chon’sin, a citizen’s ancestry defines their placement in society. it is stated that citizens of chon’sin can track their familial legacy through centuries of generations. however, lon’qu lacks any sort of traceable ancestry in chon’sin and because of that, was forced to grow up on the streets. despite being born in chon’sin, he and his parents are not from this nation. rather, their’s was a nation colonized by chon’sin.
003. LON’QU HAS A STRICT MORAL CODE. during the shepherds’ exploration of an outrealm littered with innocent villagers struck down, despite having fought in countless battles, lon’qu notes that he cannot stop the trembling of his hands at the sight of such violence. he tends to compartmentalize the horrors of war, but it deeply affects him. while he views himself as a weapon, ready to fight and kill for the khan of regna ferox, that does not necessarily mean he is willing to take a life without question or remorse.
004. IN A SIMILAR VEIN, lon’qu has a deeply - instilled sense of honor. this falls in with the culture of chon’sin, where even small offenses seem to fall onto the shoulders of the individual. despite the fact that he was a starving child, he mentions that he still regrets stealing food, and promises his child that he will try to not disgrace them in such a way. he sees favors from others, be it a cleric healing his wounds or an ally watching his back, as an act he must pay back by any means.
