Saskia hummed as she strolled through the park, admiring all of the wildlife and people who brought it all to life with their presence. The dark-haired woman grinned as she reached into a small bag tucked inside her pocket, sprinkling some bird seed across the pavement and the beautiful green grass that blanketed the world around her. Every weekend, the woman volunteered her time at the local animal shelter and did her best to care for and rescue the little critters that needed help. Ever since she was a young child, she had a gift for interacting with animals. It was a true calling to be at their assistance. The woman never understood how anyone could show any unkindness towards an animal. “Hello, little friend,” she cooed, extending her arm as she stuck out her pointer finger, allowing the gentle, flying creature to perch amongst her digits. “Why aren’t you pretty!” she exclaimed, a soft chuckle leaving her lips as she was greeted in a mixture of soft chirps. “Off you go, eat up!” Saskia grinned, setting her new-found friend off to join the small crowd of blue jays and sparrows that stood in a circle, greedily attacking the ground for their daily share. She tossed another handful, bidding her farewell before continuing on.

Often times, she would stop at one of the few apple trees that were planted throughout the park. She figured this would be a good spot to sit and get lost in her book for a little while. Saskia plopped down, eyes glued to the first page. She inhaled deeply, savoring the fresh air that so graciously filled her lungs. It was moments after the woman heard a soft voice, almost in despair. Saskia lifted her head up, furrowing her eyebrows as the tips of her fingers toyed with the corner of the page that was to follow the last that she read. Slowly, she stood and peeked behind the tree, only to meet another woman who seemed rather concerned. “Excuse me, are you alright?” She asked softly, raising an eyebrow out of curiosity. Saskia carefully followed the other woman’s gaze, her eyes falling upon the wounded little bird that was in need of assistance. “Oh my goodness!” She exclaimed, dropping to her knees to get a closer look. “Oh, poor little thing,” she gasped, her fingers gently reaching out to gently brush against it’s wings, cautiously searching for any broken bones or other injuries. “Is this your friend?” Saskia asked, lifting her head up as her eyes traveled to meet Elsa’s.

Elsa’s startled eyes flashed up when the other woman spoke. She hadn’t even realized there had been someone behind her, so suddenly hearing another voice had surprised her a bit. Fortunately the stranger looked about as intimidating as a cloud and Elsa didn’t feel any reason to put her guard up. Well, more than it was usually. “I’m fine, it’s just…” Her gaze fell back to the small bird on the ground below the tree. Elsa quickly moved over when the woman kneeled down beside her, allowing for at least two or three feet of distance between them. Out of habit she preferred not to stand (or sit) very close to people - especially those she didn’t know.

“Oh, um, no,” Elsa shook her head lightly in response. Was the bird her friend? What a peculiar question. She supposed the woman must’ve been very fond of animals if she considered a bird to be a potential friend. The way she gently inspected the small creature made her wonder if she worked at the local animal shelter and was thus used to working with injured animals. “I only just came across it a little bit ago. It must have fallen from the tree,” She glanced up, trying to locate a potential nest from where it could have come from.

[fairestofthemallx]

Saskia gently inspected the wounded creature, a lips curling into a frown as she carefully found the courage to lift it to rest within the palms of her hands. “That sounds about right. There’s many birds that fall out of their nests, mainly during storms or high winds. Or, even worse, baby birds who are trying to learn how to fly,” she spoke, her chest heaving as a sigh escaped from her lips. The dark-haired woman shook her head, glancing over at the other who remained beside her.

“I’m so glad you found him. This one isn’t off too badly, and I’m sure with a little TLC and some medicine, he will be back to normal in no time,” she suggested, her fingers gently petting the distressed little bird. “There, there. It’s alright, we’ll take care of you,” she whispered.

Saskia then looked at Elsa, flashing her a warm and comforting smile. “Thank you for this. Also, I apologize for sneaking up on you like that. I just heard you and wanted to be able to help if I could. My name is Saskia, Saskia Wiegand,” she introduced. Saskia was always more than happy to befriend others, especially animal lovers or those who seemed to prove themselves as genuine human beings. To her, Elsa seemed quite lovely. “I kind of volunteer at the animal shelter on the weekends in my free time, hence all the bird seed and whatnot,” she chuckled. “I’d shake your hand, but this one kind of claimed both of those at the moment,” she lifted the bird in her hands, carefully drawing them to her chest to ensure it wouldn’t fall out. “Would you like to accompany me to the shelter?” She offered. “It isn’t too far from here, actually.”

Our beautiful Snow White

Elsa wasn’t really a ‘stroll through the park’ kind of woman, especially not in summer, but when the weather was unexpectedly nice like it was today she didn’t mind a short walk. She felt most comfortable and preferred being side her apartment, but her legs would start to cramp if she didn’t get moving and use her legs more. Gray clouds blanketed the sky above her, providing protection from the typically brutal sun. She was halfway through the park when she spotted something very small and brown that stuck out against the bright green grass at the base of a tree. Upon closer inspection she realized it was a bird - still fairly young - that appeared wounded and unable to fly. 

“Oh no,” Elsa spoke quietly as a look of sadness overtook her features. She was afraid to pick the poor thing up, both because she might hurt it more and because of the magic that flowed through her hands. What if the gloves weren’t enough and the bird felt the cold beneath them? Elsa was so focused over her concern for the little creature that she neglected to hear someone come up behind her.

[failedhuntsman]

Alaric had been spending the day training within the forest. He knew he technically didn’t need to train anymore after he had run away from his family however it was drilled into his head. Also if he ever wanted to return he had to be in tip top fighting shape.

Turning around fast, he accidentally knocked over the lass that he wasn’t aware that was behind him. “I’m sorry!” He quickly exclaimed and offered her his hand

[fairestofthemallx]

The dark-haired woman yelped as she tumbled to the ground, ending in a slight ‘oof’. Before going down, she hardly had a moment to really see what happened. “No, get!” she flailed her arms above her head before taking a moment to gather her thoughts. Then, her eyes raised up only to meet those of a man in front of her, carefully reaching out and taking his hand. Now, also embarrassed by her behavior, the woman bit her lip. “Oh, no, no. It was my fault. I wasn’t really paying attention to where I was going. Clumsy me,” she mumbled, her cheeks furiously glowing a deep pink as she got onto her feet. Oh, lord. How embarrassing. Saskia dusted herself off, a sigh of relief escaping her lips as she scrambled to gather the small bird cage that laid on the floor. “I was just out setting one of our bird patients back into the wild.”

The woman then shook her head, almost having a slight conversation with herself. Did what she say even make sense to this stranger? “Where are my manners? I’m Saskia,” she smiled, extending her hand yet again. “I, uh. I volunteer at the animal shelter on the weekends,” she stated awkwardly, pointing to her now crinkled temporary volunteer badge.

[failedhuntsman]

He was a little taken back by how the women reacted when she hit the floor originally but he smiled as helped her up. He hadn’t managed to say anything further before the women was rambling and honestly, he found it adorable. With a smile plastered on his face he listened to her talk, almost lost in thought when he realised it was his turn to talk. That’s how conversations worked right?

“I’m Alaric” he smiled before tossing the long stick he had in his hand on the ground. “I was just fooling around really. Nothing a heroic bad working with animals” he chuckled but not in a way that would be seen as him mocking her. “May I be so bold as to say that you look beautiful?” He asked. Not sure where he was getting this bravery from but he just went with the flow

[fairestofthemallx]

“Hi,” Saskia grinned, shaking the now named male’s hand. “It’s lovely to meet you, Alaric,” she said, more confidence hinting in her voice. Already having thought it was impossible, the woman’s cheeks grew a darker red again and again by Alaric’s compliment. “I — Oh. Thank you,” she squeaked. She went to give a slight curtesy in acknowledgment, even though she hasn’t seen many people do that within the town that they each called home.

Long before arriving to Porthaven, Saskia was a princess. She had grown up being used to proper manners and learning to hold her head up with the kingdom’s finest jewels. However, she did spend quite a bit of time adventuring out on her own - both for her sake and her sanity. She was often told how beautiful she was, but hearing those words come from Alaric felt differently. “I haven’t seen you before. Are you new?” She questioned, but now realizing how stupid that sounded.

[failedhuntsman]

“It’s lovely to meet you too” he smiled bashfully before giving her a little bow. “Of course, well I’m just telling you what I can see” he chuckled blushing slightly.

“Yeah. I am new around here actually” he nodded and ran a hand through his hair. “I honestly don’t really know much of this play or what really to do around here. You’re actually the first person I’ve met around here!” He couldn’t help but smile around this women

[fairestofthemallx]

The dark haired woman couldn’t help but allow her lips to curve into a smile, trying her best to conceal it as she tipped her head down modestly. “Well, you are far too kind,” she laughed at the compliment. God, what is he doing? Her cheeks were now an embarrassingly deep red, no doubt.

“Really?” She asked, her voice coming out in an unpredictable surprised yet eager tone. Immediately, her eyes widened slightly as she knew she had to tone it down. “I mean, really? That’s great. Um, if you ever need someone to show you around, let me know,” she slowly and hesitantly offered. “It’s really nice here - everyone is very friendly.”

[failedhuntsman]

Alaric looked at the women as she spoke and honestly he was enchanted by her beauty and by how kind she was. To her he was only a stranger and yet she was offering to take him for a tour of the place. “I would honestly really appreciate that!” He smiled and ran a hand through his hair before keeping it rested on the back of his neck. “I honestly I don’t know much about this place other than these woods and where I live”

[fairestofthemallx]

“These woods are pretty wonderful,” Saskia grinned, nodding her head in agreement. “I tend to come out here quite often. It’s a nice place to escape and to be with yourself, be in touch with nature. Plus, there’s always little animal friends to meet!” The woman was pleased to have somehow formed a new acquaintance, and by the looks of it, perhaps a new friendship. Although it was very simple for her to make friends due to how outgoing and kind she was known to be, she always enjoyed those very close bonds with people and looked forward to more and more.

“Right, new places. Well, again, welcome. You’ll love our little town. It is quite special. You’ll see! Um, when works best for you?” She rambled, again, feeling quite idiotic. “No rush, just — Whenever, where ever.” The woman reached into her pocket and fished out a tiny stack of business cards, handing one over to Alaric. “Here. If you ever would like to meet or something, you can find me. This is just the school that I work at, nothing exciting,” she laughed.

[failedhuntsman]

As she spoke about the woods he couldn’t help but smile and nod. He agreed with everything that she said about it. It was a nice place to be in order to chill out and think, and also it did hold so many magnificent creatures.

Taking her business card he looked it up and down, smiling as he did so. “I’ll definitely send you a message if I can ever get used to using this phone” he chuckled softly before looking up at her, locking his eyes with hers. “Thank you again. For even just stoping and talking to me. It’s been nice to have some company”

[fairestofthemallx]

Saskia couldn’t help but stare deeply into the man’s eyes. They were beautiful — blue. As blue as the skies and the seas on a clam, peaceful day. Just like them, they could take her to lands far, far away if she stared deeply enough. His voice echoed in her ears, but muffled throughout as her thoughts simply took over her brain. “Huh? Oh. Oh! Right, of course,” she laughed, tilting her head slightly. “Phones, they can be tricky, right?” She gestured to her own, sliding it out of her jacket pocket as she ran her fingers over the glass front. “You know, if I’m being honest,” she began, “It took me a while to get used to, too. Don’t worry, you’ll get there.”

“I’m sure I’ll see you around. I don’t think a week goes by where I’m not in these woods at least twice.” Saskia sighed softly before turning slowly, glancing back. “It was a pleasure meeting you, Mr. Uh, Alaric,” she grinned, giving him a polite nod before beginning to walk off. He was lovely — rather charming. Saskia couldn’t help but allow her lips to remain curled into the biggest smile, squealing quietly as she started to wander off.
