Arcanus City - Central District

It had been mere moments since Líf had found himself standing before a mysterious tower… since someone approached him and handed him a bonsai, key, and… whatever in the hells that odd metal slate was.

If he were being honest, it all was quite confusing but he had not let that bonsai go ever since he got it. He was terrified to drop it to the point where he was now holding the pot the small tree rested in close to him with one hand while the other hand held the key he was given. Carefully turning it over, he found a number and two words emblazoned on said key.

201, Seaside Province. He didn’t know where that was… really, he didn’t know where anything was which was the reason why he had barely moved from the vicinity of the tower. He didn’t wish to get lost more than he already was however, after several moments, he caught sight of something moving past.

Curiosity taking hold, he started to wonder… who or what exactly had run past. This eventually led him to leave the tower, being careful to not drop the bonsai he was given. However, this move only ended up with him getting more lost than he already was in Arcanus City’s central district… As if the last rays of sunlight weren’t bad enough, now he had to deal with retracing his steps.

The last thing he wanted to do was make his situation even worse so with a sigh, he opted to remain where he was, now gripping onto the bonsai pot tightly…

⚔️ // it wasn't every day , but every so often , byleth found herself face - to - face with a newcomer . when the lights of the aurora faded and left behind SOMEONE NEW , it was all too easy to become disoriented . so byleth made time to visit . so it was that the street lamps overhead flickered on , and the streets of the central district began to empty . in the midst of the soon - to - be quiet , byleth spotted him . seeming just as out of sorts as she and so many others had felt on their first days .

"good evening," byleth said , stepping forward . she gestured at the little tree in the young man's hands . "i take it from your appearance that you're new here . if that's the case , i'd it would be my honor to welcome you ." hand to chest . byleth gave a short bow in greeting . "my name's byleth eisner . and you are ?"

"  .  .  .  closest  ? "  he  repeats ,  wonder  bleeding  through.

pulled  into  her  orbit  by  mere  curiosity ,  myst  peers  over  byleth's  shoulder  and  onto  the  pages  of  her  journal  with  a  raised  brow.  penned  with  a  host  of  careful  notations ,  a  neat  passage  of  pastry  returns  to  him  :  saghert  and  cream.

a thoughtful  hum  sings from  his  throat as he tries to make sense of it ,  finding  ingredients  unknown  amongst  those  familiar  (  . . .  noa  fruit  ?  )  ,  before  coming  to  an  inevitable  conclusion.

"  —  something  unique  to  your  land ,  then.  "  a  pity.

the  abbadon  purls  away  with  the  sudden  weight  of  a  disappointed  huff ,  shoulders  wilting  in  tandem.  but  OF  COURSE  —  the  pie  in  question  will  undoubtedly  be  an  imitation  to  it's  original  concept ,  limited  by  this  realm's  own  harvest.  it  could  never  TRULY  be ;  just  as  how  he  could  never  replicate  a  pie  of  memory ,  a  wine  of  oblivion ,  jarred  jam  of  lost  time.

. . . to  think  a  slice  of  the  enigma  of  byleth's  home  could  have  been  reached.  . . . 

what  a  thorn  in  his  side.

"  i  don't  doubt  your  judgment ,  but  what  makes  you  believe  we'll  win  ?  "  myst  asks.  left  alone ,  lithe  fingers  would  begin  to  tap  an  ERRATIC melody  over  a  surface  they  could  find.  and ,  despite  the  journal ,  he  neither  knew  what  to  prepare  for  saghert  and  cream  first. 

so  he  simply  keeps  his  arms  pinned  to  his  sides  and  quest  for  answers:  "  . . .  would  bonds  still  strengthen  if  the  pastry  is  NO LONGER what  it  once  was  ?  "

⚔️ // "i'd wager that cucumber would be inclined to think so ," byleth said , twining her arm beneath myst's . "and i believe they would . my student mercedes once told me that it's not really about the baking . or the end result . it's about the time spent with your allies that truly matter most ."

or , something like that . byleth had been all but FIGHTING FOR HER OWN LIFE at the time of mercedes' sage advice . her tongue had not forgotten the true danger of one too many spices . or flayn's hand on the rack , for that matter .

"though it wouldn't hurt to be a little competitive ." byleth tugged myst towards their baking station , then twirled around him towards what ingredients they had at their disposal . over her shoulder : "i believe our best tactic would be to divide and conquer . while one of us works on the filling , the other can prepare a syrup with the apples . "

seven seas .

lips swirled and twisted around how to respond to such a swift shutdown . no sense of whimsy with this one !! and , well , maybe that was to be expected . byleth was not the first to insinuate that anna was not of wise judgement . but then again , anna made no such claims to the actual use of the blades .

she just thought they were pretty to look at .

" i mean , sure . that's probably true . but also , in combat , you could put anything in my hand ( dull , sharp ; perpendicular . . . er , parallel ?? ) and suddenly -- whoopsies , there goes both our eyes !! " hand flung to cover one pupil , canine peaking through a split in her smirk , " my point being : something can be impractical and still worth wanting , right ?? "

[fellstcr]

⚔️ // impractical but still worth wanting . . . byleth hummed a quiet note and considered that . once , byleth may have FIRMLY DISAGREED . in a mercenary band , there was simply no place - and no time - for things that had no use . there had been no point to wanting for idle things . and so , byleth had not wanted for much , back then .

her students had since taught byleth the beauty in mindlessness . even impractical things could have a reason to exist , even if they had no obvious use ; sentimental value could be value enough . byleth raised a hand to her cheek . maybe anna was trying to explain something like that , but these swords really would get a person grievously injured at best , EVEN IF HER HAND WAS SKILLED .

"i still feel that in this case , the purchase of a functional weapon would be more wise . . ." she began . over the bumps of her curled fingers , byleth peeked at her companion — unable to quite help the silent flurry in her breast ; the acute understanding that her scope for anna's worldly things was terribly small . unpleasantly so . this was one of those mindless conversations , wasn't it ? the window shopping kind annette had taught her about . thus , perhaps she had misunderstood frivolity for utter senselessness .

"what exactly interests you about these . . . 'swords' ?"

when i say "i send an ask and immediately forget the content of the ask and that i sent one at all" i mean people reply to asks i sent twenty minutes ago and i go "???? oh yeah", if it's been a while and you're stressed that i'm "still waiting" i promise you. i am not. all asks are little gifts i bring to you like a cat brings a mouse to your front step, a gift, a present, i am depositing affection in your direction, love when it is returned but also i am simply trying to be affectionate and thinking nice things about you and sure, wanting to write with you, but as a rule i don't think you "owe" me anything at all. i am never under any circumstances sitting here resenting that i got to write for you and enjoy thinking about our internet barbies for a little while 💖

Once Upon a Time : season 2 … sentence starters

"I was abducted."

"No. Not magic. Science."

"Who was it who bested you?"

"Well, I've had many a man's wife."

"That thing out there is dangerous."

"I thought you didn't wanna see me."

"Oh, no. But it might come in handy."

"What I create is not from this world."

"No! Because humans killed them all."

"Promise me and we can be together."

"This is a 'see you in five minutes' kiss?"

"What you can do is tell us what you did."

"All these years, you've been here… alive?"

"So, uh, you didn't get what you wanted?"

"An ogre? I'm pretty sure I've dated a few."

"Now, what are you doing aboard my ship?"

"You have to tell me what happened to you."

"Why am I doing this? Who am I protecting?"

"That could've stopped it. Maybe it was fate."

"Seeing the inevitable can be a terrible price."

"Your mom. She's a piece of work, you know?"

"You said magic was bad, and you were right."

"Oh, because you took such good care of him."

"I cannot let this stand. I will not let this stand!"

"Time's come for you to start trusting someone."

"We have to move camp. They're coming for us."

"I can see I just launched you on a heroic quest."

"I'm done reading about heroes. I wanna be one."

"I know, I know. It's just… sweetheart, I'm dying."

"Despite what you must hope, I'm still a monster."

"I hurt his heart. (name) is just where he keeps it."

"You're dying. And right now, I am your best hope."

"Well, that is quite a list of grievances, now isn't it?"

"Hey. Don't worry, all right? It was just a bad dream."

"I might be a pervert, but you're definitely a car thief."

"Don't you see? That's exactly the reason I have to stay."

"Because I have the benefit of a little more… life experience."

"Guardian angel? I'd say you've been doing a pretty crap job."

"Just because your father was a coward doesn't mean you are."

"I know, sweetheart. It's a curse. It's not meant to be pleasant."

"Is that why you did this? Why you wanted magic? For revenge?"

"It's not all it's cracked up to be. Especially when you run a hotel."

"Frustrated, are we? Serves you right. You earned every bit of this!"

"I know that things don't always happen the way we want them to."

"This would have been enough. You… you would have been enough."

"You find goodness in others, and, when it's not there, you create it."

"Maybe I don't need answers. Maybe I just need to punch you in the face."

How do you do it? Live with yourself, knowing all the bad things you've done?"

"As long as you hold the spirit of goodness in your heart, I shall never leave you."

"Promise me. Promise me you won't give into your hate. Promise me you won't kill her."

"Everyone who loves you will lose you. But there's something worse: you'll lose yourself."

"It says that you can see the future. Why can't you just look and see what's going to happen?"

"The future is like a puzzle. With missing pieces. Difficult to read. And never, never what you think."

"So even if I don't believe in his methods, I'm going to honor his wishes. I'm going to keep you safe."

"We said we were gonna take the kingdom back and we can't do that with our tails between our legs."

"The way you treated me wasn't an accident. You made it so no one believed me. You made me feel like I was crazy."

"Well, you tell yourself you did the right thing. And, if you say it often enough, one day you might actually believe it."

"Everything he does, he does for you. And now he's going to die for you. Love is sacrifice. Something you clearly don't understand."

"When I look back at everything I've done, I want you all to know what I feel, and that is regret… regret that I was not able to cause more pain, inflict more misery, and bring about more death."
