Blaminster in Winter | Dominick & Danyl

The days were growing shorter, already, as if things were not bleak enough in Blaminster, already.  Dominick noted the dark clouds scuffing by overhead without judgment, however, merely accepting it as a fact of life.  The north was the only home he’d ever known and in truth, he considered any trip more than fortnight away a long trek, indeed.  It was, after all, the furthest away he’d ever been.

Trudging through the snow as he always did, his tools in a sack slung over his back, he moved towards Soarhall where he was constructing a scaffold for Rowlin’s coming of age ceremony (a day of which the entire north stood in dread).  It did not take Dominick terribly long to clear his path, accustomed as he was to the entire ordeal.  Familiar faces coursed in and out of the great manse about their work and Dominick smiled to a few as they passed.

Coming through the servant’s entrance, Dominick inhaled the sensuous scent of Tom’s cooking, his lips looping into a smile as he ducked into the room and gently let his sack of tools onto the floor.  Glancing around the room, he didn’t see Tom or Isolde, a fact that took him by surprise, but quickly spotted Danyl and instantly shook his head, a smirk touching his features.

“What?  Did you run everyone else out of here?” he teased.  “Alternately,” he added, glancing dubiously towards the stew.  “Did...?  You didn’t cook this, did you?  It smells delicious, but I’m in no mood to be poisoned,” he joked, grinning brightly.

Cabinet in the Woods | Dominick & Tom

Dominick grimaced, yanking what was left of the cabinet door from its hinges.  He quirked a single glance towards Tom, half-jocular, half-apprehensive.

“What did you do to this?” he inquired.

The cabinet was admittedly rather large.  Large enough, Danyl had once joked when the topic had come up, a man could live inside it.  It was also under the tender care of Tom Reston who, up until this moment, Dominick had always known to be careful and conservative with the goods under his care.  However, Tom’s urgent - anxious - request that Dominick come in and fix the cabinet door at once had shattered all expectations when Dominick had arrived to find the cabinet door not only splintered but also off-kilter.

Wresting the broken piece away (and staggering backward with the effort as it broke off), Dominick shook his head.  “This was Danyl’s work, wasn’t it?”

It was clear to Dominick, whose mind was half-suspicious and half-perceptive, that whatever Danyl was up to, it wasn’t entirely on the up and up, but Dominick wasn’t one to pry.  In cases such as these, he found, it was generally better not to know.  Still, this was a story and he had to admit he was rather curious.

“Something about tearing doors off their hinges just seems...more Danyl to me than you,” he chuckled, shaking his head.  “Unless Danyl was flirting with Isolde, again?” he added, glancing towards Tom with an arched brow.  “Couldn’t really blame you for taking a shot at him, if so.  Besides,” he added with a smirk.  “That might still qualify as his doing, you know.”

It was very clear to Dominick that Isolde and Tom were both - whether they realized it or not - very much in love with each other and he, for one, was quite eager to see them finally come together.  They were two of the best people Dominick had ever met, and if they didn’t deserve a little happiness, Dominick frankly didn’t know who did.

Shadows on Water | Dominick & Amia

He drifted into the tavern around closing, wading past the patrons who dutifully filed out, acknowledging those who acknowledged him.  Mostly, however, even as the lights were slowly put out, his eyes found Amia, the brilliance of her smiles eliciting small beams of his own.

Dominick wasn’t here to eat or drink or make merry - though such inducements did occasionally draw him there.  He was there because he’d noted the drifts of snow piling up along the walls and the trees, and he’d noted they did nothing but grow and grow and grow.  Any true northerner knew how to cope with such extremes, but a westerner?  He’d thought of Amia instantly, his heart clenching and, with Gresilda’s blessing, he’d decided it might be best that he walk her home.  Even if he couldn’t get her that far in these conditions, he was certain he could get her somewhere warm and safe to wait out the worst of the storm.

He did not rush as he came forward, enjoying the heat that suffused the tavern, even as it seemed almost to scald his skin by comparison to the frigid outdoors.  Coming up to the counter, opposite Amia now, he smiled softly.  “Good evening, Lady Amia,” he began.  “I was working at the castle today,” he began, gesturing towards the edifice, hoping his nerves would melt away in the heat of the room - and finding they did not.  “Your sister dispatched me to see you safely through the storm.”  

He glanced around at the scurry of closing activities.  “Perhaps I can help you, here, until you’re ready to go?” he added.  “I have enough experience with washing up and such that I think I could make myself useful if you just point me in the direction where I might be of most use.”

OOC | Dominick & Annie

[asselyanathorel]

HAHAH, Annie is internally like THANK G O D b/c she’d be soooo mortified if he ever found out. I feel like she can be kinda obvious and I think that Baldwin, at least, suspects and probably teases her about it and she’s like “um no not at all what are you talking about” (~face getting ridiculously red~)

Um, but yeah I think the fact that he is such a nice guy and obvi loves their family and is protective over them and everything is basically why Annie likes him like WHY IS HE PERFECT?!?!?! Also she’s just swooning whenever he does something for her and icry she’s such a mess. 

Also, do you think it’s obvious that Dom likes Amia?? I mean, obviously Amia will be pretty clueless, but I wonder if Annie will know?? If she does, she’ll be sooo torn b/c she really likes Amia and basically wants both Amia and Dom to be happy??? And she’d def know that Amia isn’t thinking about Dom that way and she’s like ~i should feel happy but I’m not b/c Dom isn’t happy~ and basically “I don’t want my feelings anymore, can I sell them on ebay??”

Although, tbh I don’t think that Annie could ever legit see her and Dom getting together?? Like she’s got a hardcore crush on him and really cares about him and def daydreams about him sometimes, but i think she does know that he doesn’t think of her like that and probs never will. 

I DON’T KNOW WHAT DAN DOES BUT HE CAN BE THERE TOO OMG. (Dan’s like excussseeeee me! I will steal us all the other stuff we need. ;DD) 

[dominickfletcher]

Ughhhhh poor Annie, I CRY bc if she were a little older he’d probs notice her but as it is I don’t think he does, since she’s 7 years younger and that difference is shrinking now but all their lives she seemed younger to him, yknow?  Since I’m assuming they’ve known each other all their lives?  I’m thinking Dom and his parents an their parents etc have always lived there and yeah.  I’m assuing Baldwin probs doesn’t tease her about that in Dom’s presence?  Bc obv that would probs tip him off...

Either way, obv Dom has never been around her when Dom isn’t around, so he’s probs never noticed the difference in her hahahaha so he’s like, “Oh, that’s just Annie...” basically whenever she acts weird, essentially bc he has no clue the problem is HIM  And I facepalm bc he’s like always trying to do little things for the Thorels to make their lives easier and I feel like he’s one of those guests that just swings by the Thorel place at, like, any old hour, unannounced and uninvited bc he basically has a standing invitation (at least from her dad) and he feels v at home there and he’ll just hang out for awhile hahahah

Hmmmm, I feel like Dom is pr quiet and kind to most ppl, (unless you’ve crossed the line in which case he’s tooootally different, bc he hardcore believes in justice) so I’m thinking if you don’t know him well, it’s probs not obv, but I also think it may be to ppl he ~does know well (which makes me sad bc I feel like the Thorels know him better than most).  At least, I think Warin suspects, at any rate.  (He’s like, “...Well, that’s not good,” basically bc like hell that’ll ever work out.)

I mean, I’d say there’s some level of potential there, on his end, like he’s just kind of an idiot with his head in the sand and still thinks of her as a kid, but she’s close to NOT being one anymore and so yeah I mean, I feel like it’d take something to show him she’s not a kid anymore and then some time after that, sort of getting to know ~adult Annie~ and thinking of her in adult terms instead, but I don’t think it’s completely outside the realm of possibility on his end.  Something would just need to change for it to work out, if that makes sense?  The irony is, by the time he notices she’s not a kid, she’ll probs have moved on HAHAHHA

Dom is like, “Can you steal some sense?  Bc I think we could use some more of that” ;DDDD jk jk

[lizzydobbs]

OOC | Dominick & Isolde

This is Dom!  He’s the local carpenter and tight with both the Restons and the Thorels (possibly the Martels as well at least by extension?) so I think he’d def know and like Isolde a lot and is probs v Team Restel and just yesssss

[isoldemartel-blog]

!!!! <3333

uGH. And I think Isolde would really like Dom like a lot. Plus I could see him working with her brother-in-law anyway, since Warin’s the local blacksmith and he’s a carpenter, they probs have some dealings??

Plus if he spends time with the Restons, there’s a hIGH chance he’ll be around Isolde as well, since they are sort of her only friends outside of Alia and her family. So it’d be extremely easy for them to make friends as well and oh man, there is a great need for someone who is Team Restel!

Tom needs someone on his side who isn’t himself or y’know, Isolde bc Isolde is clueless about herself 9/10 because she’s too focused on everyone else. ahaha.

[dominickfletcher]

Hahaha oh yeah he's really tight with the Thorels, actually. His best friends are Dan, Tom, & Warin and yeah so he's absolutely in her circle. I do think he'd have mad respect for her and yeah he's def like "Come on, man, tell her how you feel. She's not a mind reader and you'll both be happier for it," etc etc to Tom bc - I haven't talked to Lizzy yet but I feel like Toms pr obv about his affections hahaha Warin & Dom are also working together on rebuilding Castle Valles which is a huuuuge job...and in the future on building the Northern Resistance. An even bigger trial.

OOC | Dom & Sysley

Ok so Dom would like Susley a lot like he's quiet but he drf still appreciates ppl who aren't and like she's so honest he's like #respect

[dominickfletcher]

OOC | Dom & Renfry

The true bromance here tho

[dominickfletcher]

OOC | Dom & Rowlin

Best Warden evaaaaaa

[dominickfletcher]

OOC | Dom & Alia

So I'm not sure how much these two would interact but I know Dom's feels terrible for her, having a brother/uncles like that, and def wishes her well. He's the local carpenter ummm so if she needs any carpentry he's her man HAHAHAHAHA

[dominickfletcher]

OOC | Dominick & Amia

So Dom’s grown up with Rowlin and the Morans as his overlords and obv that’s what you want ;DDDD  And then there’s Amia who comes here not really knowing what she’s up against and not judging any of them and working side by side with them and she’s a real lady and she just wants the best for everyone and she’s sooooo outside of his expectations and so good hearted and he’s just ~heart eyes~ everywhere and I def see him doing what he can to help her out and look out for her and cover for her if/when she makes beginning her mistakes and he knows nothing will ever come of it but that doesn’t really stop him from the heart eyes tbh hahahaha (also I just realized that most of this was one sentence SORRY INCOHERENCE ALKDJFKLJDSAKLFJ)

[dominickfletcher]

OOC | Dominick & Diccon

Hi, there!  Kate, again.  :3  He’s the local carpenter, so he might work with Diccon on, like, building and/or repair stables etc sometimes?  Either way, he’s close with the Thorel family, so he may be tied in the the Martels as well?  And I can certainly see him really liking Diccon.  Thoughts?

[dominickfletcher]

OOC | Dominick & Isolde

This is Dom!  He’s the local carpenter and tight with both the Restons and the Thorels (possibly the Martels as well at least by extension?) so I think he’d def know and like Isolde a lot and is probs v Team Restel and just yesssss
