He had just eaten, and honestly he wasn’t expecting a near attack to the face via door again. It had startled the teen so much, he’d backed away catching his breath. Fritz was a naturally clumsy male, but he knew for a fact that he didn’t just swing the door open hard. Not to the point of smashing in his face. Thankfully his answer came in seconds.

It was an older male. Oh boy did he get hurt every time he met someone new, or almost hurt. Man, was the world out to get him. Thankfully Fritz was extremely forgetful, so this event would be forgotten in a day luckily for the older male. Still, there was one thing bothering Fritz. Well… Not bothering per say, but making them feel lesser than the male in front of them. He seemed much more accomplished then themselves. He’s so formal I don’t know what to say! “O-oh. No worries. I usually get hurt anyways!” CRUD! NO! FRITZ BAD! HE’S PROBABLY GETTING THE WRONG IDEA!  “Never been in em’, don’t got the time to. Heard they’re pretty rad. Either way I don’t hold any grudges…. Whoever you are? Sorry I don’t know your name. Mine’s Fritz.”

Hurt? To be honest every day even now he was hurt, but that was just from work. His back was killing him these days, yet Fritz never wanted to go to the doctor. If he went he wouldn’t afford rent, so that meant going to the doctors was a no go. The teen was poor, which was why he worked at three jobs. One of them he just quit, because he was killing himself traveling from Leuda to Arcadia everyday. “Nah, I’m fine. I’ll bounce back anyways. Guess I should move. You’re going in aren’t you?”

Amir blinked at the man in front of him, and although he seemed like a rather cheerful fellow, he couldn’t help but honestly feel...a bit concerned following his words. He...usually got hurt? Was he one of those people who just had bad luck, 

His expression gave way to said feeling of concern. “That’s...that’s terrible, honestly. I hate being another statistic in you getting hurt.” He said before smiling slightly. “Yes, the baths and springs are pretty great. I’d recommend trying it sometime.” 

The white-haired man smiled and dipped his head a bit. “Well, that’s good to hear. Pleasure to meet you, Fritz. That’s understandable, since I have not been on the island terribly long. My name is Amir.” He said happily. 

“Well, if you’re sure about that...” He said hesitantly, and then shook his head. “Oh, yes. I apologize again.” He said. “How long have you been on Arcadia? If I may ask.”  He added curiously. He honestly was curious about all the people in this town, and he didn’t want to pass up the chance to get to know someone a little bit better.

Amir let out a relieved sigh as he walked out of the baths of Gigant Inn and Springs; he honestly was so happy to have a home and to be able to work there as well. As of late, he had been working non-stop and hadn’t given himself much of a break- to have a bath and maybe stroll around a little bit sounded nice. 

Upon changing, he decided that he’d hit Sweetie Bakery for a bite to eat and maybe some tea or hot chocolate- it sounded particularly refreshing at the moment. 

But as he walked out the door, he clumsily had not been paying attention and someone on the other side opened it at the same time, causing him to almost crash into the other person. 

“Oh! My apologies. I am usually a bit more...attentive than that.” He said, rubbing the back of his neck awkwardly. “I just got out of the springs, so perhaps the heat got to my head.” He said, feeling embarrassed. “You..you aren’t hurt, are you?” He asked quickly. Although he hadn’t actually bumped into the person, that didn’t always mean anything.

@definitelynotaprince

•｡ ❀ Although her distrust of humans remained prevalent and never wavered, the young woman understood the reality that life would be easier if she were to achieve some capacity of normalcy amongst the Arcadian population. Iris Noire never sought to become unified with the humans, for she maintained a sense of pride towards her lineage and origin of the vampire tribe; however, the idea of coexisting with those who had a history of betraying her and antagonizing her left a bittersweet taste in her mouth. Granted, she thought, not all humans are the same… but then who could she trust? She sighed, quickly losing hope in discovering any commonalities with the fellow residents of the island - especially given her nocturnal nature, it made interaction with those around her even more difficult and inconvenient - on both of their behalves.

The vampire strolled through the park in the midst of the darkness that shrouded her, holding a cup of hot chocolate as the moonlight peeked through the leaves that persevered on the branches of the dying trees. Autumn – one of the most gorgeous seasons of the year in spite of everything dying – call it a beautiful tragedy, but ‘tis the cycle of life. She sighed, watching a misty cloud of hot air forming from her lips and floating away – dissipating in front of her eyes. Meanwhile, the sight of a gentleman sitting quietly on the bench startled her – to an unusual degree.

“Oh…!” Iris Noire halted in her path - her face flushing with warmth from embarrassment. “My apologies. I… wasn’t expecting to see someone here at such a late hour.”

[definitelynotaprince-blog]

Amir sat on the beach, looking up at the stars and let out a happy sigh. He was loving it quite a bit on Arcadia; the fresh air, the diverse people, and the overall calmness of it were incredibly refreshing. 

He was surprised and a tiny bit startled when he heard someone behind him, and turned around to see a girl approaching him with a slightly flustered expression-- looks like she had been a little bit startled herself. 

“Ah, hello. No, certainly no need for apologies! I apologize for startling you.” He laughed a little bit. “Yes, not a lot of people are out at this time of night, hm? There is a certain charm the night offers that the daytime cannot, though. They both have their unique qualities.” He said with a smile. “Care to join me for a bit? I’m rather new to this island. Of course, if you were to decline, I’d understand wholeheartedly. I mean not to take you from your original course.” He added amicably. It was always interesting to meet other people who shared an appreciation for the beauty of night as well as day.

Ruining Garments || Amir & Violet

[definitelynotaprince-blog]

“A-A little…” Violet admitted shyly. It was even sillier to think that she shouldn’t have a reason to be scared. People traveled all the time. It shouldn’t be a big issue. But it was, for her. She wasn’t good at talking to people, so it would end up badly, wouldn’t it?

“O-Oh, t-thank you…” Violet gave a small smile, “Y-Yea…I-I’ve always wanted to be one since I-I was little. I-It was the only magic I-I was really good at, too…s-so it worked out, r-right?” She possessed the ability to make pacts with summon spirits - though she had never tried them - and some weak water magic…but healing was her specialty.

Amir laughed a little bit. “No, it is not as silly as you might think. It’s natural to feel anxiety and fear of new things, especially something as big as traveling. And if you haven’t done it your whole life, it only amplifies that, correct?” He said with a smile. 

“Wow! That is amazing. I hope to try and become a healer myself now that I am here on Arcadia, but I have to admit that I have little to no experience with magic. That will be quite the journey for me.” He said, laughing a little. “Plus, who knows, I may end up sucking at healing and excelling in something else. I guess I’ll find that out soon enough.” He said, then stood up and looked down to the girl. “Oh! Excuse my manners. How much do I owe you?” He asked.

On The House? || OPEN

[definitelynotaprince-blog]

She could easily tell, he was a foreigner. Not just by his looks, but because of his accent. “I see! Well, it’s going to be quite the experience for the both of us!” Sephia clapped her hands together with delight, a new villager is always interesting! “Well, I do hope you enjoy Arcadia! I do recommend visiting the church sometime.” Sephia wanted to sly that information in, doesn’t hurt to promote yourself every once in a while!

“Amir, the pleasure is all mine.” Sephia bowed slightly with respect. “Well, I hope I bump into you more often! When you’re in a good mood of course.” She joke, it’s a skill she recently learned from the humans! “Thanks! Oh, I can’t wait to eat.” Sephia picked up the menu from the table, eyeing the pictures. “I’ve lived in Arcadia my entire life.” Her eyes suddenly widen when she found out they sell… Crepes. “Oh! Could I order four of these? And Thai Milk Tea sounds wonderful, too!”

Amir laughed, pleased with this woman’s attitude. “Yes, I agree!” He said, and then blinked, almost in surprise. “O-okay! I will!” He added. He honestly hadn’t thought about the church, but since the woman he was buying a drink for recommended it, he might as well do her a favor for her and check it out, at the very least. “Will do, m’am.” He added. 

He laughed a little bit. “Of course!” He said with another chuckle. “Yes, I’m a bit hungry myself, but I’m just ordering a drink for now.” He added, and then grinned at her response. It wasn’t often that you got someone who wasn’t simply modest about what they wanted. “Of course! It’s all on me.” He answered. “I’ll make sure to let the waiter or waitress know right away.” He said with a smile, as the waitress came right over and her let them know.

“So? How long have you been on Arcadia, Seph?” He asked the kind woman, curious about her.

[definitelynotaprince-blog]

On The House? || OPEN

[definitelynotaprince-blog]

Sephia stood in front of a cafe, blinking with curiosity… “Hmm… I wonder what they have…” Definitely taking advantage of the whole mortal situation, she decided to have a day… Off. Yeah, that’s what it is. She’s been working hard practicing and visiting the church lately, a good meal sounds only fair!

When she swung the door open, the smell of delicious coffees, teas, and other delicacies hitting her face was overwhelming. “Woah…” Her stomach growled with anticipation, all she had to do was order… However, a man caught her attention, a smile spreading across her face.

“Really? Thanks a whole bunch!” She consider it as an offering for the Goddess. She made her way towards the stranger, taking a seat next to him. “I’m not too familiar with this… Cafe. But I do fancy some tea. Ah– Where are my manners?” Sephia smiled nervously, quickly composing herself. “My name is Seph. Thanks for buying me a drink!” Having a few secrets here and there never hurt anyone.

Amir stared at the blue-haired girl who walked in and simply nodded in response to her thanks. “Yes, you are most welcome!” He added, pleased that she had to decided to take a seat next to him. 

“To be honest, I am not very familiar either. This is one of my first times here, actually. You see, I just moved here not long ago at all, so I suppose it will take me awhile to get used to everything.” He answered, and then dipped his head a little bit in politeness. “It is a pleasure to meet you, Seph. My name is Amir. And of course, it is no problem whatsoever. I enjoy paying it forward a bit, especially when I’m in a good mood.” He laughed, leaning back. “Feel free to order whatever you like- even some food, if you would like that. I don’t mind paying.” He answered in his thick accent, taking a sip of his coffee. 

“So. How long have you been living on Arcadia?” He asked. Although she said she was not familiar with this cafe, that did not necessarily mean that she hadn’t been here for awhile, but either way, he was curious.

Ruining Garments || Amir & Violet

[definitelynotaprince-blog]

“A-Ah…I-I haven’t,” Violet admitted shyly, “N-Never to Leuda, either. I-I’ve been meaning to…b-but…” It seemed silly to admit it, seeing as it was a boat ride away. She saw the pictures in books, as well as pictures of many other amazing places, but actually going? That was beyond her comprehension. She wanted to go…but she was still too hesitant. She knew she had to leave Arcadia eventually for a visit, but whenever she went to order a boat pass from the guild…she would stop short.

Violet felt her magic begin to disperse around the wound, and her eyes darted to the now-closed wound. She slowed her magic, concentrating to feel for any infections that may have made its way inside, but found nothing. She slowly lowered her hands from his arm, giving him a small, shy smile to confirm that she was done.

Amir looked to her for a moment then nodded in understanding. “I’ll be meaning to visit one of these days as well, but I figure I should probably get settled down here a little longer before I do any travelling just yet.” He said with a small laugh. “But you should really give it a shot. Are you a bit scared to go?” He guessed, smiling lightly.  

He looked to his arm as she finished and then moved it around- sure enough, it felt all better, and there was hardly even a mark to let one know it was even ever there. “That is amazing work you do.” He said with a smile. “I mean to be a healer as well- although, with just arriving here, I’ve had little to no experience.” He said with a small laugh. “Have you always wanted to be a healer during your life, or?” He asked curiously. Although the girl was shy and quiet, she was still rather interesting.

Learning From The Best || Ludus & Amir

[definitelynotaprince-blog]

Ludus was deeply focused on the task at hand. Besides repairs, the Kauila Carpentry also did various woodwork projects. He chipped at the wood with the carving knife, his brows furrowed in concentration. This kind of work built up up a sweat, but at the same time, it was calming to him.

He heard the door open, but didn’t glance up immediately, at least until the newcomer spoke. Amir Ranjit Raj…?  Ludus raised a brow, his attention now fully drawn to the man. He was clearly a foreigner, based on the accent and the garb he wore.

“E komo mai,” he greeted, trying to see the man as a customer and not wonder too much about his backstory, even though he was admittedly interested. “Well, what d'you need? I’m, uh, the boss so I guess I could be who you’re looking for.”

Amir smiled at the friendly greeting he had heard once before- so he at least knew what it meant at this point, if context were somehow not enough. 

Amir bowed in an apologetic manner. “I apologize for disturbing or distracting you. I just thought I’d have a quick word.” He answered, standing up straight again.

“See, I was hoping  you could perhaps help me learn more in the field of carpentry.” He said, waiting for a moment before waving his hand. “N-not right now of course! But if you are a busy man who wouldn’t have time for such things, I understand that as well. I just thought it might be worth a word with you.” He said, a polite smile on his face.

Trying New Things || Iluka & Amir

[definitelynotaprince-blog]

“I would hope I like working here, I own the place!”

She laughed. Iluka took pride in her work and loved to let people know it. There was a lot that went into this business when it started and even more once she decided to take it off the island of Lulukoko and bring it here. There was a lot to be proud of at her young age.

“My daily goal is to have everyone leave with a smile on their face. So far, so good.”

Iluka left the menu with him in case he wanted something else and gave him a short nod to excuse herself.

“I’ll be back with your shake.”

She walked back to the counter, gathering all the ingredient and tools she needed. Everything in the café was made to order and all creams, whips, and sauces were made in the morning before the place opened. It was very important to her that everything was fresh, which is why her shipments came twice a week every week. For her customers, she would give them nothing but  the best.

“One Coconut Pineapple Shake.”

“Oh, I see! So you are the owner. You must be very proud of yourself, owning such a successful business.” He said with a smile, and looked around. It really did seem to be thriving; it truly was admirable, seeing someone as young as her already owning a successful business. 

He waited until she had come back to continue any conversation- plus, he didn’t want to keep her away from other tables, so he figured only brief questions and small talk were truly permissible.  He took a sip of the shake that she had brought back to the table and his eyes widened- good lord, that was good! 

“It is delicious! And did you come up with all of these recipes yourself?” He asked, smiling. “Also....I am curious. What made you decide to own a business? Has it always been a dream of yours or did it kind of just come to be?” He asked, taking another sip of his shake.  

[definitelynotaprince-blog]

Ruining Garments || Amir & Violet

[definitelynotaprince-blog]

“O-Oh, r-really?” Violet spoke, more than a little surprised, “I-I hope you like it here. I-I’ve…um…a-actually lived here my whole life. I-I’ve never left…a-actually.” It was a little embarrassing to admit it, especially to someone who came from outside the island. Normal people seemed to travel around with no trouble. Herself, on the other hand? She had considered leaving to go elsewhere to complete her education…but the concept of leaving was so scary. Leuda just seemed so foreign to her, after all. And that was only just a boat ride away!

Amir dipped his head in a gesture of thanks. “Thank you. Well, I am certainly enjoying what I have seen so far, so hopefully that is a good sign.” He smiled.

“Is that so?” He asked nonchalantly, looking over to her. “I suppose some are more attached to their home...and don’t get me wrong, I am as well. I love my country. But...staying there would just feel....too suffocating, to say the least.” He said, smiling and brushing it off. “So when you say that, do you mean you have not been to Leuda either?” He asked curiously, as some people spoke of the islands kind of as one unit, while others did not.

Seafaring || Kai & Amir

[definitelynotaprince-blog]

Kai was a little embarrassed how long it took for him recognize Amir, but it had been a long day of moving tables, chairs, cooking utensils and everything in-between.

“Ahh, I just know what I like to do.” He scratched his neck sheepishly. “Don’t feel really ingenious right now. I sunk all my money into this.” To say that he was broke right now was an understatement. Kai would be living in this boat for awhile yet.

Amir, though, looked as great as ever. “I’m surprised to see you here, though! Does your family have a home here or something?” He glanced around briefly as if he might see it. Or was Amir here for more royal related business?

“Do not be so down on yourself, Kai.” He said in his somewhat thick accent, smiling. “It seems pretty ingenious to me. I have not heard of anything like it. And it should bode well, being able to go between two islands. And if you do what you like to do, you will surely excel.” He said. He felt terrible that his friend was essentially broke now, but if he knew him at all- he was a hard worker, and he would end up even better on the other end. He knew that Kai had tended to doubt himself sometimes, but Amir certainly didn’t.  “Well, let’s remain confident in the fact you’ve put that money to good use. If you ask me, I believe you have.” He said confidently, almost matter-of-factly. 

“Oh, me? Well...” He started a bit awkwardly, rubbing the back of his head. “Actually...I am here alone. I moved here and am living here now. At the Gigant Inn.” He said with a slight laugh. “I’m sure you will be shocked to hear that one.” He said, sighing a bit.    

[definitelynotaprince-blog]

Seafaring || Kai & Amir

[definitelynotaprince-blog]

There’s still so much to get onto the boat. Kai had drained all his savings just to get enough tables, decor, glasses, plates, cooking utensils and more. It seemed like so much more now that he had to get it all on the boat and setup. He didn’t expect anyone to approach him, save maybe Ludus or Iluka if they happened by.

Using the interruption as an excuse to take a break, Kai leaned against one of the tables. “Ah, it’s going to be a restaurant I’m opening up!” Despite his fatigue, Kai grinned proudly. “A floating restaurant. I’m calling it The Frying Pan.”

Wait. Kai tilted his head. “Wait, aren’t you…” He pointed at him in recognition. “Amir!” It was wild how many people he knew were turning up on these islands! It only took a few steps for Kai to reach him and give him a hug.

Amir listened and smiled as the man talked, and then his eyes widened as the man in front of him turned around and he realized he was....familiar! And not just a little bit! It took him a moment to truly process, but not long at all to recognize him. 

The pale haired man dipped his head in a nod. “Kai. It has been a good while.” He said with a smile, happily though somewhat awkwardly returning the hug since he wasn’t particularly used to them. “You were on quite some reputable ships, and now you’ll be running your own restaurant on the sea? You’ve always been an innovative man.” He said, and nudged him a bit with his elbow. “Making your way up there. Cannot say I am surprised, with your ingenuity.”

On The House? || OPEN

Amir made his way from the Port; he had been busy looking out at the ocean, and just, well....contemplating. After all, everything was different now. He couldn’t help but grin to himself as he turned away. Even though he was already feeling energetic and full of excitement again, a cup of coffee sounded wonderful right about then. Sometimes it would be a cup of tea, but tonight, it was definitely coffee- with arabica coffee beans, preferably. 

He made his way and eventually stepped into the cafe, ordering his coffee and then just sitting back and letting out a sigh. It felt so good to be here- everything was so vastly different from where he was from, and he was loving every moment of it. 

The doors to the cafe swung open, and Amir grinned. He was in such a good mood that he was going to pay for whatever this person planned to get. “Hey! Whatever you get, your drink is on me, okay?” He called out before leaning back again happily. The person didn’t have to talk to him if they didn’t want to....although, he would admittedly probably introduce himself at the very least if they didn’t.

[definitelynotaprince-blog]

“N-No, i-it’s fine!” Violet immediately spoke up, shaking her head, “I-It’s my job.” Once he sat down, she immediately went to work, taking his injured arm with one hand and raising it up, the other delicately raising up to his injury. She began to concentrate her magic, and with a soft glow of her hand, it began to slowly work on the man’s injury.

“O-Oh, i-it’s nice to meet you, M-Mr. Amir…” Violet greeted with a small smile, her eyes still focused on his injury, “I-I’m Violet. A-Are you staying on the island for a v-visit?” Most people came to just see the island, never to actually move in.

“Yes, I see, but I have come in so close to after hours.” He chuckled a bit. “I do not know. I still find it rude on my part, but I am glad that you do not think so.” He said, and watched carefully as she worked her healing magic on his arm. 

“Many thanks. It is wonderful to meet you as well, miss Violet.” He answered, still watching intently as she moved her magic around and up the wound. “No, actually, I just moved here. I’ll be living at the Gigant Inn & Spring.” He answered. “What about you? How long have you lived on Arcadia?” He asked as she worked.

Trying New Things || Iluka & Amir

[definitelynotaprince-blog]

His unique looks had Iluka curious. And as much as she wanted to ask him about where he was from and a few other questions, she decided against it. It’s not very often that a customer is willing to talk about themselves when they came in for a meal. It’s more likely to come off as annoying and intrusive than friendly.

“Our drinks listed here are our best sellers.”

Iluka stood next to him and pointed to the bottom of the last page. There was a variety of drinks listed with their prices.

“During the summer, the colder drinks and shakes are most popular. However, we can make anything you ask for. Please keep in mind that the price will vary depending on the ingredients used.”

“Hmmm...” He muttered, thinking for a moment. He didn’t want to take too long pondering. Although he had had some things with coconut before, something about a coconut pineapple shake sounded appetizing. Like Iluka had pointed out; something cold sounded particularly refreshing.

“I think for the moment I will take the Coconut Pineapple Shake.” He answered. He looked to her with pale sky blue eyes and smiled. “You seem to like working here. It’s nice to see people happier when they are working rather than down. Not that there is anything wrong with that personally, but I tend to feel sorry for people who just....really loathe their jobs but have to keep them, you know?” He muttered, thinking about people he had seen like that back on the mainland in his home country. To see them made him feel, well....guilty, honestly. 

“I guess that’s a weird thing to say.” He laughed a bit. “What I mean to say is it’s good to see you at least don’t mind your job.” He said with a smile, hoping that he hadn’t really said anything too strange.
