it was always after sundown, the local apothecary noticed, in which her quaint shop would form a life of its own — the herbs and remedies lining its walls suddenly became overshadowed by the sordid potions and spell books buried in locked cupboards and under loose floorboards that everyone knew about, yet would remain hitched in their throats. they would only dare ask after the hum of daytime hours would fade away, leaving a setting sun and a bitterly tired shop-keeper leaning over her front counter. “ you had better be experiencing HELLISH pains to be asking for a healing spell of this kind. ” val commented, heaving a sigh. “ take a seat — and don’t even think about speaking of this to anyone else, or i’ll give you a free HEX to go with your purchase. ”

“i’m not experiencing any hellish pains,” lúthian mumbled, taking his place in the chair as she ordered. he took quick glances around the shop, before looking at the other as she spoke. he grimaced, before crossing his legs. “hex? --and since when was i buying anything? i thought we were trading?” he removed a cloth from his sack, unwrapping it and revealing the stalks of a rare plant only found from bothen. he knew of it’s healing properties, and it was used to create salves for traumatic injuries. “unless... you’d rather money as opposed to this.”

“ see, the thing is, i just don’ really care…” wolf muttered, his eyes rolling as he looked before him. “ look, s’not you, really. i promise. ” the royal continued his speech, tapping his fingers on the wood table before him. “ i just can’t help you, don’ have the means, m’fraid. sure, m’a prince, but that doesn’t mean i can just go a wastin’ the palace’s money, now does it? you’re gonna have to find your means somewhere else. ” for a split second, wolf wished he felt bad, but the feeling faded just as soon as it had manifested. 

“my means... right.” the blonde prince sighed, rolling his eyes at the other, a hint of annoyance displaying atop his eyebrows. “listen, prince budget, royal to royal, just because you’re unable to access your kingdom’s funds doesn’t mean i’m paying for your meal.” he muttered as he used his fork to stuff a piece of chicken in his mouth. “we’re splitting --end of story.”

sat relaxed  in front of the ocean    ,   breathing in the salt and seaweed   ;   the only place she could truly feel at peace   .    strawberry sigh   ,    servants bringing in a few sweets and pastries that she takes the time to savour with a glass of champagne in one hand     .      from the corner of her eye she notices someone who appeared to have caught her gaze   (   or perhaps she imagined   )       ,       arm raising an eager wave                       better company than being alone     !            `        there’s plenty for everyone   ,   so please help yourself       !         `

the prince took his place next his friend, echoing the sigh she let out as he gazed into the azure waters. it had been awhile since he could just sit and think, amidst the commotion of his schedule. he plucked a random pink pastry from the selection, popping it the entirety in his mouth and swallowing it before reaching for the sofia’s glass. “hullo, princess.” he grinned, eyeing the princess of khynth with playful eyes. “long time no see.”

The big fountain. It was beautiful, if you asked somebody to describe it, they’ll be sure to include how the water almost shoots out hitting the ground, the center was crave in what looks like a mermaid. Korra sat in a bench in front of the fountain while the wooden base made it hard to sit and the mental handles feeling super cold as it touched her skin. She had a children’s book in one hand in which she guided towards the child, the child named Abby, age 6, was reading it silently to korra. Being a teacher included many sessions with kids, but being something DIFFERENTmade it hard to do something you really love. So she always had this extra sessions with kids, if they want it, after school at the fountain. ‘The tales of peter rabbit’ it was one of korra favorite books! The one she recommends to all of her students. “Once upon a time there were four little Rabbits, and their names were–” Abby said as she was beginning to read but was cut off by someone hovering them, blocking the sunlight from hitting their faces.“You seem too old to get a reading session from a 1st grade teacher” Abby said to the other while a laugh from korra escaped her lips. “You seem to be looking for something, how can I help?” Korra said while flashing a smile to the other.

the prince stared with a mischievous as the girl began, wondering when she would notice that he was there. when she finally did, he crossed his arms, stifling a laugh as he smiled warmly at the other. he had just finished the extensive meetings in ardramalia with the leaders of the surrounding kingdoms, and was finally on his journey home to bothen. though he was eager to finally catch up on some rest, he knew he had to visit korra before he left. "jokes on you, korra. i was actually here for a reading session.” he hummed, taking a seat on the nearest stump available. “you know, i just happened to be in the kingdom-- how could i leave before visiting my favorite teacher?”

          once upon a time, in a kingdom long forgotten, there was a twenty-three year old elf who went by the name of lúthian aleksander greengrass. they were known throughout ardramalia as being perhaps one of the most well rounded and benevolent persons you’ve ever met, however there is a pesky rumour running amok the village that they are rather ingenuous. they do a lot for the kingdom as a prince of bothen, and we’re eternally grateful for all they do.

hi, hello! i’m jay, and i’m extremely excited to be a part of this beautiful rp !!! as you can probably see, i spend way too much time becoming invested and i have so much muse for this elven prince that i went crazay on the photoshop bahaha. anyway, i’m at work right now (unfortunately)  but if you would be interested in plotting with my little prince, send me a message or like this post and i’ll eventually come and light up your inbox! 

anyway, about my little one —

lúthian aleksander greengrass is the crown prince of bothen. (i totally stole the crown of thranduil from ‘the hobbit’ and used him as my guide/photoshop base lol). **and yes, that is an elk. lú is definitely an elk rider.

he was raised primarily by his mother and her maidservant, as his father was busy always tending to the kingdom. as a result, he and his father are not close by affinity, but rather proximity. they barely interact, only as needed, like when the king has to give lú some sort of assignment or council to attend. other than that, they are two strangers who happen to be part of the same family. to him, his father was a careless figure — neglecting the needs of his family for the kingdom. his mother, who was always warm and good-natured, made sure to remind him to grant his father grace, since being the royal leader meant great responsibility. while lú never showed his resentment outright, there was always that feeling tucked away in the crevices of his heart.

to add to all of that, lúthian was once betrothed to an elven princess, something his father actually took pride in seeing. his son was finally going to bring a contribution to the greengrass name in the form of little heirs… that was until the king found out that the crown prince preferred princes. woops. his father eventually got over the initial shock and embarrassment of cancelling a betrothal, but lú never really felt like the king accepted that detail of his life.

being raised in a kingdom focused on the preservation of nature and it’s creatures, lúthian has had a natural affinity for the healing aspect of magic. even from his younger years, he was known for his advanced abilities in healing magic and potions/salves. of course, being the crown prince also meant rigorous training with weaponry and offensive magic, and though he developed an adequate proficiency, he always prays that he never has to use it. 

lú sees himself as unfit to be the heir of bothen. if being king is being his father, then he doesn’t think he could ever fit the role. still, he plays the part and while he loves the people of bothen and makes an effort to always be kind and just, there are times that his naivety and inexperience show. his mother reminds him that things come with age, but lú could name younger generals or cousins that would fare well as king. still, he enjoys the duties of being the prince, it’s just that he would rather remain prince for the rest of his days.

speaking of his inexperience, he’s literally ALWAYS asking his maid/manservant (whoever the character is) for life advice. if ever he felt like he was in a bind, he would excuse himself for a minute to “use the restroom” and pull his maid/manservant aside and compel them for an opinion.

honestly, he is just this happy go lucky child that just wants to ride elk and heal people all day, so plot with him.
