âAh, that one? Itâs Dionaea muscipula -- also known as the âVenus flytrap.â Most people know what it looks like fully grown, but itâs interesting as a seed, too, isnât it?â They gaze gently at the shiny, black seeds.
âPspspspsps...â Theyâre trying to get a cat out of some of their flowers.

âOoooh, lotus.â Rue beams at the plant in the otherâs hands. âItâs pretty, right? Did you know itâs quite useful, too?â
princeps-obumbravitâ:
He canât help the small chuckle he lets out. Thats Rue for you. A bit of a one track mind, and a very loud personality.
Luckily, Alin knew the answer to this question. He learned it pretty quickly after a certain⊠Incident⊠That had happened a few weeks back.
âAlright, so youâre gonna want to use some of this stuff⊠I donât remember what itâs called. Varian gave it to me and said it was some big long word. Anyways, Iâve got some in one of the closets back in the castle. Youâll put a few drops of it directly onto the stain and scrub it with an old toothbrush you arenât going to use anymore. That should get most of it out, but if not, then use some dish soap and baking soda. Once the stain is all out, just run it through a proper wash!â
Yeah, Alin couldnât be bothered to learn the words âhydrogen peroxideâ.
There we go, thatâs the information they needed! Rue grins towards their cousin before giving a salute and leaning forward and shouting --Â âGot it!â
But, well, that is just how Rue is. A little, tiny -- bit of a noisy, rambunctious gremlin -- and, well, they beam happily.
âYouâre gonna show me where it is then, later, right Alin?â They smile, patting their cousin. âAnyways, itâs pretty soaked through this one comfy shirtâa mine so thatâll help tons nâ tons!â
princeps-obumbravitâ:
âExcept. That it is.â Alin sighs.
âKeep your voice down. Someone yelling loudly about how to remove blood stains from anything is bound to raise suspicion. It makes you sound like a murderer!â
âYeah, but you know I ainât! âSides, itâs my own blood -- anâ you know I get tonsâa injuries and stuff!â Still being loud -- but a shrug, they quiet down.
âBut fine, can yâtell me quietly then?â

Starter for @bonpyre
It had been a simple question his cousin had asked him, but it caught him off guard all the same. People donât just come right out and say things like that. Especially not in a public space.
Well, apparently Rue did at least.
Making a âshhâ motion with his finger to his lips, Alin quickly nudged the other over to a nearby alleyway. It was as private of a space as they were going to get during their current outing.
âOkay, Iâm gonna need you to clarify what you meant, because What the Hell, Rue.â
Rue was a little off their rocker. Everybody kinda knew that -- but, well, sometimes the things they say are a little worse than others.
âWhaddya mean, Alin?â Itâs still noisy -- Rueâs not exactly the quiet type. âAll I asked was how ya get blood outta fancy clothes. Canâtcha tell me? Iâm sure yâknow, cuz, like, everybody bleeds sometimes.â
A shrug of the shoulders, âIt ainât that big a deal is it?â
princeps-obumbravitâ:
âThe floor is way too rough for my royal feet, so shoes are a must.â
âAll of you guys are weirdos. Just wear socks. Itâs that easy.â
princeps-obumbravitâ:
âTwo words: Bathroom Shoes.â
âOne word: Cursed.â
princeps-obumbravitâ:
âYou said it.â Alin canât help the small chuckle that escapes him, before shifting topics.
âI almost forgot. Itâs your turn to pick what we want for supper. Iâm hoping we avoid cyanide and belladonna as a meal choice, though.â
âWait, really? Itâs my turn?â Theyâd actually entirely forgotten! A gasp, and a smile.Â
âNo, no poisonâs nâ stuff. I want some good ol, french onion soup!â It sounds. Really tasty and warm right now. âWith one of the big funky-lookinâ bread rolls!â
princeps-obumbravitâ:
âI would hope you were just kidding. My untimely demise would be terribly inconvenient not only for the both of us, but for the kingdom as well.â
Someoneâs modest.
He had a point though, with his parents and sister missing, his death could be a bit of a problem for everyone involved.
That aside, he gives a slight smile. âLetâs avoid poisoning me, okay?â
âYeah, yeah, Iâm aware, Alin. Besides, you ainât the one I really wanna poison.â A dismissive wave of the hand. Though, theyâre sure their cousin is well aware of their feelings on that regard, at least. They seem to have a bit of an understanding.
âYâknow how it is --Â âsides, I ainât the kingly type, you ainât the cyanide-and-belladonna type.â
Cruel? Perhaps the both of them are, a bit. Hurt, though, mostly -- family like themâs gotta stick together.
âItâs real hard to believe weâre related sometimes, huh.â

"I'd just prefer to keep my dignity is all. If it's really that big of an issue you may use it in private."
Alin rubs his forehead with a hand. He's been stressed out lately. He didn't entirely mean to get snippy with the other, but it doesn't matter much, he supposes. Rue would get over it eventually, right?
âOh, I will.â Given the option, the choice seems pretty obvious, no?
Rue shrugs. Their cousin is quite snippy, absolutely. âJust be careful what you say, or I might put digitalis purpurea in your drink instead of nutmeg.â
Itâs not a real threat, though, clearly, as they grin and laugh, âJust kidding!â ... But it could be.
"How do the people of this kingdom always manage to be such a headache..."
"Aww, they're jus' a little 'ccentric, Alinlin!" Is that a nickname? Absolutely.
"Please never call me that again."
This strange child was supposed to be his cousin? He still couldn't quite believe it.
Hah! As if Rue ever listened to anyone. Ever. Or could be stopped from doing things that they wanted to. "Make me, Alinlin."
"You seem to forget that in the absence of my parents and sister, I'm in charge." He rolls his eyes.
"So I say don't. You are to address as Alin, Prince Alin, or Your Highness."
Yeesh, talk about a bossy older cousin.
"You're in charge, sure." A laugh, "But like, what are you gonna do? Send me to jail for giving you a nickname" Yeesh, Rue's considering slipping something poisonous into the Prince's drink. "But, fine, since you hate nicknames so much, I'll just call you Alin." Mumbles. "Stupid..."
"How do the people of this kingdom always manage to be such a headache..."
"Aww, they're jus' a little 'ccentric, Alinlin!" Is that a nickname? Absolutely.
