Louis Vastic - Queen

[louisvroyal]

Bhavan had just finished a guest lecture on one of his favorite topics to a group of students and was returning some materials to the university library. Whilst in the stacks, someone jostled him and he dropped the book he was carrying, only after he was lifting it from the ground did he see it was the Queen of Rohrm.

“Not at all, your majesty, the fault was mine,” Bhavan smiled warmly and inclined his head with respect to the monarch. He wondered if this was a purely innocent call to the university, or if there was an agenda here. After all, rumors and speculation stood that his father was rethinking his childhood betrothal to Matai. “Yet, if you were wrapped up in your own thoughts, were they for good or ill, may I ask?”

“Good, good I promise.” Genuinely good, “I had some personal dealings to wrap up here. I have family you see and thought I shouldn’t play favorites, a nephew of mine has recently married one of this Kingdom’s fine men.” It was rare for Louis family to get him to travel, he felt secure within his own Kingdom. Still, he found himself able to make the journey out for a select very. A very select few.

“I still have some free time and I’ve chosen to spend it at the University. I did attend here though...” That was many years ago. “But it’s still good to keep oneself knowledgeable and I’ve always loved the architecture, I think I enjoyed that most as during my time as a student.” It was only natural that he studied here, lacking any magic like some of the members of his family. “I’ve always enjoyed my time in the country, so I find myself simply exploring.”

Brint’s lips pulled up into a grin as he heard the other man’s words. “Ah, another guy who can see the value in simplicity as well?” Brint asked with a chuckle as he peered at the other man curiously.

Brint let out a chuckle and shook his head. “Well, if that’s truly what he is doing? Then he appears to be a fool from the little I’ve spoken to you so far.” Brint says with a nod of his head. “Oh for sure. If I have to choose between my friends and the kingdom? Friends come first.” Brint jested with a chuckle and a shake of his head. Obviously not meaning that. He wouldn’t have had this position if that’s how he truly felt. “Yes, yes. The stress of work makes me long for relaxing with others. Should it lead to something else? Well, no complaints.” Brint said with a chuckle and a shrug of his large shoulders.

“One would hope, to not lose the sight of simplicity...it help keeps a person settled.” A little bit of clarity. For some, it was something that had to be developed.

“That being said, I can not deny that I do indulge in a bit of extravagance.” By nature of how he grew up, by nature of his role. It had become apart of him. “Still a fool?” Louis let out a chuckle, “That is admirable, it shows character.” Was he a little more shrewd? Maybe. “You’re friends are lucky to have you, though I hold none nothing against my own for missing a drink. I’ll just make sure to have a few extra ale’s on his coin.” One only could only think about what the what else could lead the other too but Louis was sure he had a good idea as he looked over the other’s room. “I work ask about your work but I am interested to know the various ways the night can end for you. I’d like to learn more about my new friend.”

Louis was truly a vision as he departed the water and approached Launce closer. An incredibly toned, muscular physique, draped in beautiful dark skin with a head of curly hair… no wonder the king took a shine to his queen. He had a feeling that most of Rhorm could agree that Louis was possibly the most attractive man in all the kingdom.

“If their job is to ensure that you’re overprotected and claustrophobic, then perhaps they should not be doing their jobs,” Launce chuckles. “I would gladly escort you wherever you wish to be escorted, your highness—” he adds, throwing in yet another bow as a show of respect. “I’ve got no plans for today, so do not worry about my time… I am here to service you and you alone.”

That wasn’t entirely an intentional innuendo, but…

Louis held back a laugh at the other’s words. “To do that, I think they’d have to take it up with the king, a position. Maybe it takes a man made of sterner holdings.” For that, his eyes lingered on the other. He had said something that tickled Louis and so boldly. It was an unexpected statement but one he agreed with, maybe that was why he enjoyed it so much. “To me and me alone?” Charming. 

“Not to the king or the kingdom but me and me alone?” They had finally made it back to the Louis’s small clearing. What he considered his own private space. His things still laid near to the beach, his guard knew better than to it. Speaking of them, he happy to note that he didn’t see them at all. “I find that very interesting.” He found himself interested in testing it out, that part though he kept to himself.

He made his wave over to his things, rummaging around as he waved the other man over. As Launce approached, he finally fished out a bottle of wine. “I only brought one cup but we can share the bottle, would that be agreeable?”

“Thank you for making the time to see me your majesty.” Seeing as who it was Louis found himself speaking too, there was some warmth in his tone. “I’ve found myself in Nok for personal matters and I thought I would take the chance to see you before I left.” Louis didn’t have much personal contact with other royals and nobles, he did have fairly close friendship with Arman and a working relationship at least with the other Queens. He waited until the servants left the room, bringing the tea they to his lips. 

“The country has been as lovely as always.” He did enjoy his time here, his time traveling overall. “And you look well, how have you been these days?”

There was no particular reason that Louis found himself at the University of Eita. All of his peroneal business had been wrapped up and he still had a day and half before he returned to Rhrom. He settled on visiting the university, taking in the architecture. There was also a chance to explore and further his knowledge on a few things that he had taken a personal interest in. 

So, lost in thought, Louis found himself gentle bumping into someone. “My apologize.” He said quickly as he took a step back, it was lucky that neither of them hit the ground. Once he realized who he bumped into, Louis gave his apologies again. “Forgive me, Crown Prince. I was lost in my own head and paid no attention to where I was going.”

It wouldn’t be a stretch to say that Launce’s knight status often made him feel a bit, well, superior to others. Gave him the impression that he could simply waltz wherever he liked and face no pushback for it. To some degree, others often proved him right in assuming as much; knights could get away with a lot of annoying behavior. Not that often behaved in such a way, of course. Not Ser Launce of House Aeson, slayer of fiends! 

He didn’t know the king and queen of Rhorm that well personally, but as an admirer from afar, he definitely noticed that Louis seemed to favor the waters of Rhorm enough to get away and swim in them… which, naturally, meant she needed an entire security detail to keep him safe from harm. A entire fleet of guards who probably equaled one Ser Launce of House Aeson.

As it just so happened, Launce also felt like going for a swim today, and what better opportunity to endear himself to the queen a bit by escorting her? He wasn’t seeking a promotion to the high court or anything, but maybe his act of pure, selfless kindness for his queen would come in handy later someday. No way to know other than to try.

While Louis clearly tried to ignore the commotion and fuss of her security, Launce made quick work of his natural charisma and managed to convince them all that actually, the king had personally sent he, Ser Launce of House Aeson, to supervise his spouse’s swim time. By the time she’s returned from underneath and got her bearrings, she would discover the two were now alone.

“Your highness,” Launce says, making a big show of greeting the queen with an exaggerated courtesy. “I was just passing through and noticed that those men were likely bothering you, so… I whisked them away on your behalf. I do hope you will not consider this an imposition of your privacy—”

Louis did have to come up at some point, though he couldn’t hear any muffled knows and that had to mean something good. Indeed it was. 

When he resurfaced, the guards were gone, a fleeing sound in the distance. It was perfect really. He made his way to shore, it was a short trip, pushing his hair out of the way as the water dripped off of him. It took wiping the water from his eyes, waiting for him to focus before he realized who he was speaking too. “I consider it no imposition at all, in fact I should be giving you my place Ser Launce.“ They didn’t have a close friendship but as a knight and a nobleman Louis knew of him at least. 

“Though, I suppose, my guards would just complain that they were trying to their job. It just so happens that the job they have to do sometimes bothers me.” He stopped a few feet away from the other man, bowing his head in thanks. “I’d be even more grateful if you escorted me back to my original swimming place. I did get a little ways away from them.” That wasn’t the sole purpose though, “And if those around the ground see me with being safely escorted, I won’t be bothered for a quit sometime. I wouldn’t dare to take up anymore of your time after-that.”

Brint let out a chuckle and nodded his head. “You should. It may not be as ‘high class’ as most of us are used to…But it’s a nice place to just relax and simply…Exist.” Brint said with a nod of his head.

Brint let out a loud laugh. “that definitely makes it a bit easier! Knowing you’ve been stood up for the kingdom and not because they don’t want ot be around you is definitely a bit more comforting.” Brint said with his grin coming out once more, the dimples coming out full force. Brint took his own glass and pressed it against the other man’s, nodding his head as he did so. “To a good night and making new and better friends.” Brint says with a chuckle as he clinked their glasses together before happily taking another drink.

“Then it’s perfect for me.” Nothing against ‘high class Louis did enjoy it from time to time. Sometimes he also just liked something a little more. To simply exist as the other man said. 

“One would hope but you might be onto something, what if standing me up for the Kingdom code for, he doesn’t really like me? Some food for thought.” His tone was light compared to his words and there was a smile on Louis face. Not that he truly believed that, this was one of his closet friends, someone he put up no image around. “Better friends?” Louis raised a brow. “You’re saying you’d be a better friend? I’ll keep that in mind.” He took another drink. “So, it is simple relaxing and existing that brought you here tonight?”

Brint gave the other a big grin as he heard his words. Brint let out a chuckle and shook his head. “Well…You should. Totally helps calm one’s nerves and brightens the mood. In my eyes, at least.” Brint said with a shrug and a cheeky grin as he looked at the other man.

Hearing the man’s words, Brint couldn’t help but to scoff. “I hate when that happens. Everyone goes through the effort of making plans and getting there, just for someone to decide not to come and not even have the decency to tell anyone? It’s a shitty thing to do in my opinion.” Brint said with a shake of his head. Brint’s lips curved up. “No, I don’t,” Brint admitted. “But friends make just about anything better.”

“I’ll make a note of this place, maybe I’ll find myself returning again.” What the other said wasn’t untrue. It wasn’t as rowdy as some places he had been, that already was of interest to Louis. 

The other man’s enthusiasm to condemn his being stood up was commendable and cute. “Would it make you feel better to know, I knew there could be a chance that this would happen? My friend, his duty is to our Kingdom first.” Sometimes he would be called away and sometimes, Louis had to deal with it as best he could. “I’ll return to the favor to him one day.” He finished his ale in one go, waving his hand for another. “I’d say, that is the best type of person, being able to have fun on your own...that being said, you aren’t wrong.” A time out with friends, it could be a wonderful experience. Another drink was set down in front of him and Louis picked up the glass, holding it out to the other. “A good night to make friends? no?” 

[louisvroyal]

It was time to relax. 

It was a process. There was getting everything set up in his own private chambers. Yes, he did sleep in the one had with his husband but this place was special to Louis. It had a just large enough balcony that overlooked the sea. Never too hot, never to cold and hidden from the average view. Perfect. And it was a night to relax, he had made his way back to Rhorm for a spell, just to check in while he awaited news of the coronation. 

A chance to unwind from being around the other nobles and royals. There music, having paid an extra amount to a servant to play him something down below. His candles had been light, thankfully, there wasn’t too much of a wind and the flame was holding strong. Next to him, a glass of wine with a pitcher next to it. The smell that filled the air was lovely too, a combination of the oil’s he had chosen to run over his body. 

Louis relaxed on his settee as his body relaxed, splaying out as he touched himself softly. He was unsure if go anywhere but it was also comforting to explore his body. (And if he wasn’t careful, he’d fall asleep in no time.) Just as he felt himself in a mixture of doziness and hardening, Louis paused and took a sip of his wine, holding the glass in his hands as he spread his legs a little more, his free hand drifting down. 

Some fun wouldn’t hurt. 

Until he noticed that there was someone with him. Louis heard Daemon’s voice but his reaction was slow and a flush cross his face as he quickly pulled his hand back but kept his grip on the drink. “Oh...” He cleared his throat, it wasn’t his fault, despite his more formal nature, he never minded if his kids walked into his chambers. “What can I do for you? I thought you were still in Dele?” If he didn’t address his state of undress, who could blame him. The sound of music caught his attention and Louis walked over, sticking his head over the balcony. “You are free to go.” The sound of movement could be heard then silence. He wasn’t sure what the nature of this conversation would be and sensitive information didn’t need getting out.

Brint let out a small and content sigh from his spot at the bar of the tavern. The right hand had his head resting on the counter top with a mug of ale still in one of his hands. When he tilted his head up, most people around could see the large grin on his face along with a pair of cute dimples on his cheeks. Brint needed a break. Needed to just not worry about politics and doom and gloom for a moment and just get wasted. And right now? He would say that was a successful mission. Currently he's just enjoying the results. Relaxing peacefully in a haze.

He looked off to the side and offered the man who just took the stool a grin. The ex-warrior allowed his eyes to roam up and down the other man's body for a moment, trying to see if this is someone he should recognize. "Well hello there, handsome," Brint said with a small chuckle, his words having a hint of a slur to them.

"You come here often?" Gods knows Brint does. He's never been one to turn down a fun time or a good mug of ale.

[louisvroyal]

Louis knew he had to interact with the outside world and he had a few friends he could lean on to do that. The plan had been to meet, enjoy the night but it seemed like he was on his own. Instead of a table, Louis opted for a stool at the bar, signaling that he wanted a drink. The ale was given to him just as he heard a voice in his ear. Louis turned, taking the man in front next to him. He smiled at the compliment, raising a brow. 

“No, I don’t.” His reply was short but not unfriendly. They would pick random tavern’s to meet up, never staying in one place for too many visit. “I had plans to meet a friend but it seems I’ve been stood up.” Not unexpected, work could keep them away some times. Maybe he had too much time on his own hands. “Though you don’t seem like the type to need friends around to have a good time.”

[louisvroyal]

There was nothing Louis loved more than the sea. 

Any body of water really, as long as it was open. There was a sort of freedom that the land couldn’t grant him. It also made it extremity tricky for his guards. The same scene happened many times before but they did not learn. Louis had more than a little fun constantly reminding them. He wanted to swim, he couldn’t go alone, this was as obvious as it was annoying. He stripped quickly when they finally made it to open water. On the inside, Louis couldn’t help but smirk as the guards squirmed, some looking away. 

Today at least, he had did some form of garments on. To cover his lower half at least. Then he dove in and for a while, Louis swam around, letting himself be scene before going under. And as always they waited, panicking when he didn’t come out and started to search, Louis though, he had been long gone under the water. Today was a little different. 

When he resurfaced, a little bit of a ways away, there was someone standing on shore. He could hear his guards yelling for him, foot-steps coming closer. Louis locked eyes with the mystery person (he wasn’t too far out but it was a little hard to see) and made a motion of a whisper before ducking back under. Hopefully, the mystery person understood and would get the guards to go away, then he could resurface and allow them to time to panic a little more.
