“Well it’s only fair,” Alfyn laughed, “I was messin’ with theirs after all! ‘Sides, flowers are nice. They look good on anyone if you ask me. Put a couple posies in your hair and you’d be even more of a doll than ya already are, y’know.”
He listened with a more subdued manner to her story, though, and once it was done he put a hand on her shoulder gently. “Your past has nothin’ to do with who you decide to be from here one, yanno.” he said, “And aside from that, you’re a way better person than most anyone I’ve met. You got shoved into a lousy situation with lousy bosses who were awful, awful people, Prim.”
He said his next word emphatically. “But you’re nothin’ like them. Any kid who knows you is lucky to have someone with so much experience and wisdom to offer them advice if they run into troubles. Okay?”
“Yes, I was confronted with terrible people... And I killed them in cold blood. Does that really make me any different?” Primrose cannot help but be bitter.
“Enough about that, though.” She put her hands on her hips. “There you go, complimenting me again. You called me ‘doll,’ too... If I didn’t know any better, I’d say you’re rather fond of me.”

On a more positive note, I hope to get to know my partners better and write some amazing threads with you!
Saved by the change of topic, Alfyn coughs and adjusts his collar (it doesn’t help the floppiness).
“Oh, y’right there, for sure. I’m not sure Therion ever combs his, but H’aanit’s got a real nice braid! I seen Ophilia do it up for her once or twice too, I think. Ain’t braided any hair myself since I left my village, though. Used ta do it for my pal Zeph’s little sister and her friends. Since I got long hair an’ all…”
“That was very sweet of you,” Primrose said. A thought occurred to her, and she giggled. “Did you let them mess with your hair, maybe tuck some flowers in it? You seem like the type to do that.”
The dancer’s smile faded into a slight frown. “I had my childhood innocence taken away at a young age, when my father was killed. I had to grow up quickly to pursue my vengeance. I would not wish that pain on anyone.”
“At the same time... Though I adore children and wish to protect them, I feel I should not be around them due to my former... Occupation, if it can be called that. While I was in Sunshade, I ran into a young girl who wanted to be a dancer like me. She called me beautiful, like a princess... She had no idea what being a ‘dancing girl’ really meant, obviously. Her father was beside himself with shock and worry.”
“Aw, shucks.” He huffs, looking appropriately bashful. But he isn’t that easily dissuaded.
“I sure do ‘preciate that, Primrose, but y'know what I said before about you versus Ogen…ain’t no one got eyes prettier than yours, okay? It’s no contest, and…all that.”
He’s suddenly feeling awkward and loses steam. In his effort to be sincere he feels like he’s gone overboard. That isn’t uncommon with him- his overtly genuine nature is also his downfall at times. But it isn’t like he’s lying about his thoughts, right? Even so…
Primrose knew better than to pick fights she could not win.
“Whatever you say, I suppose...” The tone of her voice indicated her lingering disbelief, but her face retained its crimson color.
That was as close to her accepting the compliment as Alfyn was going to get.
“If we consider hair, though... Therion and H’aanit win, wouldn’t you agree? Therion’s looks as fluffy and soft as a cloud, and H’aanit must teach me her secret to braiding.”

(for the attractive feature meme) "Well I think you're great all over, inside an' out! But speakin' frankly, Primrose, You got real nice eyes, yanno? They're pretty, but they're also kind, and that's what's best about 'em!" He nods sagely.
What’s Primrose’s most attractive feature? ~ accepting
Normally, Primrose would be used to hearing compliments. One would be hard-pressed to find a pickup line that a customer had not tried on her; she had received everything from outright declarations of love to badly-written poetry to crass remarks about her figure. She took all of these in stride, her focus on her goal of revenge unwavering.
When someone who had quickly become a dear friend of hers gave her a sincere compliment, though…
“Surely you are mistaken, Alfyn. If anyone has kind eyes, it’s not me – it’s you.” The dancer’s cheeks burned as red as her dress. “But… I do appreciate the sentiment. Thank you.”
Sorry I vanished off the face of the Earth with no explanation… I’ve been super duper busy lately with school, and I’m still in the process of settling into my new routine. Please bear with me while I try to figure out a regular update schedule for my blogs.
As always, feel free to hit me up on Discord (pegasuslover#4826) or IMs if you want to chat about roleplay or video games or pretty much anything!
“I wish Therion would open up more so we could become friends. He acts tough to discourage people from getting to know him, but I get the feeling he doesn’t mean half of the things he says. In some respects, he reminds me of myself.”
“Also, his hair looks so soft. I want to touch it, but I value my life…”
I’ve finished every Ch. 1 in Octopath Traveler and I’m starting Ch. 2 of Primrose, so here are my thoughts so far! It’s really fun, though my party is hilariously low on levels for the next phase of the story... I guess my next step is finding some good places to grind experience.
This ended up being pretty long and of course there are plenty of spoilers, so I’ve put it under a read more. I’ll be using the tag #lark liveblogs for all posts like this -- please feel free to blacklist it if you want to remain unspoiled.
Favorites (from most to least): Primrose, Tressa, Cyrus, Therion, H’aanit, Alfyn, Ophilia, Olberic.
Primrose is still best girl.
Tressa is a cinnamon roll, while Therion’s secretly one.
Ophilia and Olberic are nice characters, but I feel they’re a little on the generic side. Hopefully things will improve in later chapters.
I think the main characters’ English voices are very good, but some of the side characters were a little annoying at times. (Looking at you, dancer girls from Prim’s story.)
Speaking of VA’s, I looked some of them up and now I want so many crossover interactions!!!
Olberic and Hector sparring (Germany can officiate)
Alfyn teaching Ike, Lukas, and Ephraim about herbs
Therion and Helios being... complete opposites I guess
Ophilia befriending Rei/Sailor Mars and Marinette/Ladybug
H’aanit, Hinoka, and Minerva being warrior queens together
I’ve finally found a good setup for my main party’s subclasses. I’m focusing on three mains and one semi-main who will be switched out if I need a certain character for the story.
Primrose looks SO CUTE as an Apothecary and she has better physical attack than Cyrus. This class lets her function as a buffer, dark + ice magic user, dagger + axe wielder, secondary healer, and status effect remover. I’ll temporarily give her Sorcerer if I need another powerful magic attacker for a boss.
Cyrus pretty much needed to be the Cleric, otherwise I would have given it to Primrose (because this is another cute outfit for her). It augments his already high elemental attack and defense and gives him access to light magic.
Tressa keeps the other two topped off on SP by stealing and sharing. The Rest ability from Merchant also helps. With this class combo, she can use wind magic, fire magic, daggers, swords, spears, and bows! Thus, she’s also in charge of helping the other two break shields. If I need a dedicated tank, Tressa will switch to Warrior.
Semi-Main -- Dancer Therion
This combo means he has very high speed and evasion, along with the ability to buff allies or debuff foes. If Tressa’s busy being a Warrior, he can switch to Merchant and be the SP battery.
Alfyn/Zeph is the best ship so far.
How ironic that one of Prim’s old friends/servants ended up at a brothel, while she became a dancing girl...

You respond to physical touch.
For you, love is as simple as a caress. Wherever it happens, however long it lasts or how it is: it could be just holding hands while walking about, having a quick cuddle once the kids are in bed, stealing a kiss here and there, exchanging touches while passing each other in the hallway, and of course making love, particularly in the warming up phase – body to body, skin against skin… Physical touch is security and reassurance for you and makes you sure that your partner loves you. On the contrary, the absence of physical contact hurts you deeply and you can feel ill treated or rejected and you close down emotionally. But when your partner communicates in your love language, it touches you deeply inside, creating strong emotional intimacy that opens you to yourself and to your partner. Some advice: Every person has his or her own geography when it comes to bodily touch. Don’t think that touching them in a way that pleases you will necessarily please them and vice-versa. It’s important to verbally confirm the touches and caresses that you like, ‘You know I love it when you hold my hand…’ ‘I like it when you brush against me while passing by’ or ‘I adore when you take me in your arms’. You can invent a couple’s game to make your partner guess which styles of caress you like and which zones of your body are more receptive (Getting hotter, getting colder… ) If you are seriously lacking contact, begin by explaining to your partner how you operate in sensorial terms and perhaps invited them to find 5 different ways of physical contact during the day.
