square up and fight me

Avalon Adler 29 Guardian to Charlene Grimaldi in a constant state of (ง’̀-‘́)ง

He stared at her for a moment, then two, before stepping aside wordlessly and letting her lead the way.

The silence enveloped them once again, and she felt her chest loosen. Ava didn’t know she’d been holding her breath. Soon the air was filled with a variety of grunting sounds and the noise of metal hitting metal. The training room. Her second home. She strode across the matted floor towards the Chief of Guardians. “You needed me?” She asked, not minding his authority nor the presence of her ex-husband standing beside her.

“Well that’s unfortunate. You look good. Now I’m upset that you don’t look that way for my sake.”

A smile etched itself on the girl’s features. “I didn’t know you were in the castle, Sienna.”

[stcrchilds-deactivated20160831]

His eyes followed her gaze. Her fists were shaking. That was never a good sign. “Ava…” Nox said softly, almost apologetically, even.

[avalonadler-blog]

She could feel her nails digging into her palms. “We need to go to the training room.” The guardian wanted so bad to punch his teeth in. She didn’t need his apologies.

“I don’t have girl problems.” Declan retorted, denying the allegation. “Can’t a guy come to see his apparently half naked friend?” 

[avalonadler-blog]

“Please. You’ve seen most of me already anyways.” She said, raising a brow. “So... boy problems?” Avalon asked teasingly.

[stcrchilds-deactivated20160831]

They were close to the training room when he stopped her, unnerved by how she was treating their situation. “Are you planning on talking to me anytime soon?”

[avalonadler-blog]

Her breath hitched as he stopped her. Bile started rising in her throat at the thought of talking to him and she tried walking away, but Nox was in her path. “I don’t know.” Ava muttered, her eyes lowering to her clenched fists.

[stcrchilds-deactivated20160831]

He expected an answer. For a few seconds they were submerged in an awkward silence. The guardian cleared his throat. “Really good for an outdoor walk, if it weren’t for the rampant killings.”

[avalonadler-blog]

A small sigh escaped her lips as he persisted. She rubbed her temples and continued walking wordlessly. His voice was too familiar and tuning him out was the best decision if she wanted to keep her sanity.

[stcrchilds-deactivated20160831]

They walked alongside each other in silence, taking long strides towards the training room. He wasn’t sure who wanted to get away from the other faster. The quiet made him feel antsy. “Good weather today.” He said in a lack of better things to mention.

[avalonadler-blog]

The silence settled well with her, but not so much for her ex husband. Her lips pressed into a thin line when he spoke. She looked ahead and ignored his efforts at small talk.

[stcrchilds-deactivated20160831]

Nox couldn’t help but look at the back of her head as she turned away. He kept quiet, looking around as he waited for her to come back.

[avalonadler-blog]

“Come on.” She said quietly. Clad in training clothes, the girl motioned for him to follow her out the door. The girl pressed her lips together. She had no plans on speaking to him anytime soon.

[stcrchilds-deactivated20160831]

Nox lowered his gaze. “You’re needed in the training room.” He pronounced, his attention anywhere but on his ex-wife.

[avalonadler-blog]

“Nothing you haven’t seen before, Nox.” She said, her brows furrowing ever so slightly. “Let me get dressed. I’ll be with you shortly.”

“I’ve seen better” he shrugged

[avalonadler-blog]

“Please. I can practically taste how salty you are.” She replied, rolling her eyes.

[healingmarcus]

“Well now you’re being an ass” he scoffed

[avalonadler-blog]

“I can’t hear you over how good I am,” Avalon joked.

[healingmarcus]

“And that was just luck” he mumbled under his breath

[avalonadler-blog]

“Or maybe...” She raised a brow and sent a dart flying through the air again, making it land a breath away from the previous.”— it’s just talent.”

[freddyofpoland-blog]

“If you’re that enthusiastic, you can go first.”

[avalonadler-blog]

The guardian pulled one last time at the rope to make sure it was safe, before launching herself into the lake. She hit the water with a large splash and she emerged, laughing. “Jesus, it’s freezing.”

[declanofnorway-blog]

“I wasn’t expecting to see so much underwear…” The prince mumbled under his breath as he shifted his gaze away.

[avalonadler-blog]

Ava grabbed her robe and put it on before turning to face Declan. “More girl problems?” She asked, dropping onto a chair across him.

[avalonadler-blog]

“I wasn’t expecting company.”

[helenaoffinland-blog]

“—Who is this he you are talking about?” The Queen peeled the blindfold off her eyes and blinked rapidly to readjust her sight. She stared at the tall blond in front of her, arms folded demanding an answer. “—Well…?” 

[avalonadler-blog]

Avalon’s mouth went dry. She was too excited to be part of what seemed like a marriage proposal that she’d forgotten to ask for a name. “I’m— uhh... I didn’t catch a name, your highness.” She admitted.
