Scholar's scroll pile!! @castle-scholar - Tumblr Blog

Guh... I can't possibly go to this ball...

*Their Majesty awaits their companions at a a table, sipping on wine occasional, greeted by men and women of very high status, seemingly uninterested.*

(More nervous than ever, Scholar peers into the ballroom. It's massive - obviously - and he doesn't see anyone he knows. He hesitates for a long moment, wondering if he should just go back to his rooms, before finally deciding against it and stepping out of the shadows of the doorway.)

*their majesty, sitting at a table, a duke from a faraway kingdom trying to talk his way to the crown* *their majesty spots Scholar from across the ball room and waves at him, a look akin to an SOS written on their face*

(Blinking in surprise as he notices them, Scholar looks back and forth between Their Majesty and the man next to them. It's obvious Their Majesty wants help - but what is he to do...?)

(He thinks for a moment - then, in a rare moment of bravery, hurries over to the table.)

*their Majesty has to hold back an audible sigh of relief when they see Scholar making their way to the table*

Scholar, my love! *their majesty exclaimed, trying to scare off the duke*

(He nearly chokes on the air he's breathing, but realizing what Their Majesty's attempting to do, he returns the greeting.) Ah, there you are, my dear!! I'm sorry I missed you at the doors, I had a bit of trouble with my outfit. (It's much fancier and flowier than usual, with many golden pins and such.) You look positively amazing, by the way.

*their majesty holds back a smirk that would ruin their whole act*

Yes dear, have you met the duke of (insert fantasy place idk just cal it faraway) he has been telling me of his plans to expand his kingdom!

*their majesty looks Scholar in the eyes and winks quickly when the duke is not looking*

(He winks back, feeling slightly braver, and turns to the Duke to speak to him.) Reee-ally now!! And what is His Dukeness getting out of this situation? (It's in a mocking tone, but he isn't too worried; there's no reason to give a mere scholar grief for something like this.)

*their Majesty chuckles and quickly covers their face when the other two look at them*

Duke: "I was hoping to have their majesties hand in marriage..?" *he looked expectantly towards their majesty*

*with all the attention on them now, they uncovered their face, looking at Scholar*

I had someone else in mind..

(By all the gods up there. It is taking everything he has not to drop dead on the floor.) Well then! It seems as though you're out of luck, Your Dukeishness. Have fun at the ball, now.

(duke walks away scoffing, off to rant about a Scholar with an attitude to his fellow friends)

*their Majesty bursts into a fit of giggles, taking Scholars hand*

That was AMAZING! most fun I've had at a bell yet!

*they smiled, giving his hand a squeeze*

(This time, he can't stop the bright flush from filling his face.) R-... really...?? Haha... I'm glad!!

...I've never actually been to any of these before today... it's very... (He searches his mind for a good word to describe it.) Big.

ive been going to balls since I was but a child..

*their majesties face darkened a little before they shook their head, snapping out of it*

Belive it or not, there has been bigger..

...Really? That sounds... busy. Especially for a child. (He absentmindedly fidgets with their hand, still holding his.) I don't regret not going to any before now... it's so chaotic here...

would you...would tpu like to go to the gardens with me? They are closed off to the public right now..

*their majesty regretted bit as soon as they said it, why would scholar ever want to be alone with someone like them?*

...the gardens? That would be lovely! (He's flattered, smiling - but he knows it's most likely to be polite. Why would Their Majesty ever want to be alone with someone like him?)

But... I don't want to keep you away from here... you were attempting to find a suitor, no?

*their majesty leaned in to whisper in his ear, lips just shy of brushing the shell of his ear*

If I'm being completion honest everyone here is boring me..

(He goes still.)

(This is... this is new. What are they... doing...? And what is his heart doing?)

...boring you...? What could- (he stumbles over a breath-) what could you possibly mean? I'm- I'm sure that at least someone here must be- must be interesting...

well..I guess there is Jester and Duke, but they've been drinking all night..besides..you saved me...knight in shining armor..

*their Majesty giggled, poking him in the chest. Their own face was equally as flushed, but they had chosen to ignore it*

M-me-? I- I've never even worn armor, I-... (He feels drunk, too, with how many emotions are pounding through his chest.) ...You really want to go to the gardens with me?

yes its quite overstimulating in here. *they pick up the ruffles on their outfit as Scholar walks next to them*

Have you soon Jester and Duke? The way they look at each other is almost envious.

...Why, yes, I have. (He casts a searching look over to them, hiding his emotions under a polite smile.) W-...why?

I wonder if Jester has found someone? *their Majesty watches with a curios glint in their eyes*

I... well... I'm not sure...? (He laughs nervously.) I haven't... I haven't spoken with her very much recently... I'm sorry, Your Majesty...

*the two of them a have reached the gardens, their majesty lending over one of the stone railings, looking among the flowers*

She has been coming to me for advice about Duke for a while now...I'm glad she's happy.

She's... she's with the Duke? (He raises his eyebrows.) I must say, I haven't talked to him much either...

Yes it seems to be that way..do you have your eyes on anyone?

*they rested their head on a hand propped up on the stone fence, gazing up at the moon*

#I HATE MY STUPID LOSER SON ahaha sorry had to get that out #unrolling the scroll #scholarmajesty

(It's easy to ignore the way the moonlight glanced off their face, Scholar lies.) I... I... wouldn't... know myself, haha...

Guh... I can't possibly go to this ball...

Scholar! How are you enjoying the ball so far~?

Ah - Jester, hello!! It's quite... (He looks around.) Big.

Yes, quite…

*She giggles*

Is this your first time? I would presume so based on your expression, no offense.

…and.. your outfit looks *cough* very nice..

...Unfortunately so... I prefer to stay in my quarters during events like these. ...Hey, what did you say...??

Oh, I didn’t say nothing! Your ears going out already, old man~?

..Have you ever danced with someone before? I’ve been told I’m a natural at it..

Hey!! You're my age. Or, at least, you look it... I don't think anyone here knows how old you are? It's just loud in here.

No, I can't say I have... (He shakes his head.) And I'm sure you are; you're so graceful all the time!

..Oh.. yeah.. Hehe, guess I stopped counting~! *She flushes slightly at the graceful comment*

Would you… like me to teach you?

Teach me? To what? I know most everything there is to know. (As soon as he says this, he chuckles nervously, and his face burns with shame.) ...That was- that was a joke. I-... what do you want to teach me...??

To dance! It’ll be fun, I promise!

*She grins, her smile very very wide.*

#unrolling the scroll #scholarjester

Oh!!! Really...?! You'd teach me to dance?

...if so, could I teach you a few of the steps they used in my village's theatre...?

(More nervous than ever, Scholar peers into the ballroom. It's massive - obviously - and he doesn't see anyone he knows. He hesitates for a long moment, wondering if he should just go back to his rooms, before finally deciding against it and stepping out of the shadows of the doorway.)

*their majesty, sitting at a table, a duke from a faraway kingdom trying to talk his way to the crown* *their majesty spots Scholar from across the ball room and waves at him, a look akin to an SOS written on their face*

(Blinking in surprise as he notices them, Scholar looks back and forth between Their Majesty and the man next to them. It's obvious Their Majesty wants help - but what is he to do...?)

(He thinks for a moment - then, in a rare moment of bravery, hurries over to the table.)

*their Majesty has to hold back an audible sigh of relief when they see Scholar making their way to the table*

Scholar, my love! *their majesty exclaimed, trying to scare off the duke*

(He nearly chokes on the air he's breathing, but realizing what Their Majesty's attempting to do, he returns the greeting.) Ah, there you are, my dear!! I'm sorry I missed you at the doors, I had a bit of trouble with my outfit. (It's much fancier and flowier than usual, with many golden pins and such.) You look positively amazing, by the way.

*their majesty holds back a smirk that would ruin their whole act*

Yes dear, have you met the duke of (insert fantasy place idk just cal it faraway) he has been telling me of his plans to expand his kingdom!

*their majesty looks Scholar in the eyes and winks quickly when the duke is not looking*

(He winks back, feeling slightly braver, and turns to the Duke to speak to him.) Reee-ally now!! And what is His Dukeness getting out of this situation? (It's in a mocking tone, but he isn't too worried; there's no reason to give a mere scholar grief for something like this.)

*their Majesty chuckles and quickly covers their face when the other two look at them*

Duke: "I was hoping to have their majesties hand in marriage..?" *he looked expectantly towards their majesty*

*with all the attention on them now, they uncovered their face, looking at Scholar*

I had someone else in mind..

(By all the gods up there. It is taking everything he has not to drop dead on the floor.) Well then! It seems as though you're out of luck, Your Dukeishness. Have fun at the ball, now.

(duke walks away scoffing, off to rant about a Scholar with an attitude to his fellow friends)

*their Majesty bursts into a fit of giggles, taking Scholars hand*

That was AMAZING! most fun I've had at a bell yet!

*they smiled, giving his hand a squeeze*

(This time, he can't stop the bright flush from filling his face.) R-... really...?? Haha... I'm glad!!

...I've never actually been to any of these before today... it's very... (He searches his mind for a good word to describe it.) Big.

ive been going to balls since I was but a child..

*their majesties face darkened a little before they shook their head, snapping out of it*

Belive it or not, there has been bigger..

...Really? That sounds... busy. Especially for a child. (He absentmindedly fidgets with their hand, still holding his.) I don't regret not going to any before now... it's so chaotic here...

would you...would tpu like to go to the gardens with me? They are closed off to the public right now..

*their majesty regretted bit as soon as they said it, why would scholar ever want to be alone with someone like them?*

...the gardens? That would be lovely! (He's flattered, smiling - but he knows it's most likely to be polite. Why would Their Majesty ever want to be alone with someone like him?)

But... I don't want to keep you away from here... you were attempting to find a suitor, no?

*their majesty leaned in to whisper in his ear, lips just shy of brushing the shell of his ear*

If I'm being completion honest everyone here is boring me..

#YIPPEEEE #unrolling the scroll #their majesty #scholarmajesty #i'm gonna be honest i love how their name is just Their Majesty by now #*points up at this interaction* chat is this nonbinary yaoi

(He goes still.)

(This is... this is new. What are they... doing...? And what is his heart doing?)

...boring you...? What could- (he stumbles over a breath-) what could you possibly mean? I'm- I'm sure that at least someone here must be- must be interesting...

Scholar! How are you enjoying the ball so far~?

Ah - Jester, hello!! It's quite... (He looks around.) Big.

Yes, quite…

*She giggles*

Is this your first time? I would presume so based on your expression, no offense.

…and.. your outfit looks *cough* very nice..

...Unfortunately so... I prefer to stay in my quarters during events like these. ...Hey, what did you say...??

Oh, I didn’t say nothing! Your ears going out already, old man~?

..Have you ever danced with someone before? I’ve been told I’m a natural at it..

#my clueless stupid idiot loser son <3 #NO its VERY clear. he's just a fuCKING MORON- *is shot*#unrolling the scroll #scholarjester

Hey!! You're my age. Or, at least, you look it... I don't think anyone here knows how old you are? It's just loud in here.

No, I can't say I have... (He shakes his head.) And I'm sure you are; you're so graceful all the time!

Guh... I can't possibly go to this ball...
