hoping to lessen the anguish of all that's going on presently, adisorn lays out a spread in their sitting room of treats from café do paço, freshly made hot cocoa placed on respective coasters. " you know, i've heard from the finest physicians that cocoa is excellent for those with child. excellent for the mind, too, " is there any scientific truth to those statements? not that they're aware of, but underlying worry for his sister is enough reason to play it up. " so have your fill, as i fear i may no longer be welcome. "
" — has any harm come to you? " words are said with haste, yanfei's hands ghosting over the princess's frame meticulously. while she did her best to get kai-ming out of the hall without getting caught in the crossfire, their knuckles ached with the promise of bruising due to preventative actions taken, dagger tucked away. when a response isn't immediately received, eyes meet kai-ming's before they're stepping forward, pulling her into a grounding embrace. " take a deep breath. you are safe here. "

the events of the pre-tribunal remain a heavy weight on the sultana's heart, normally bright disposition cloudy with something different. she tries not to let it show upon delicate features as she turns her head, the emperor's entrance into the gazebo immediately causing the light in her eyes to flicker once again. " you came, " nazlı offers a small, soft smile, the twin soul courtyard they currently occupy providing a more soothing atmosphere. " i hope my request to meet wasn't troublesome— " the concern she feels for kaito's wellbeing settles in her stomach as she invites him to sit beside her. " i only . . . wished to see you. " to offer her support, her understanding. anything he may need.
we are so glad to see you safe, SULTANA NAZLI ABDUL of TURKEY! it's dangerous out in the world these days, but i hear that you are RESILIENT and ALTRUISTIC enough to handle it. just don't let your INSECURITY bring you down! stay on your guard, because with your secret being at risk for exposure, you wouldn't want everyone to find out YOU ARE STRUGGLING TO FIND YOUR SENSE OF SELF AGAIN.

a very soft person through and through despite being brought to life in a more intense family basked in glory. there were some struggles with this while growing up, differences in personal character and motivations not difficult to spot, though that has never once caused difficulty with loving her family with all of her heart ( no matter it currently being torn in two ).
has always done everything she can to pull or carry her weight within the family by means of expanding upon their status, though her methods have always been much more simple. as someone who has always been fond of travelling, networking and making new friends via alleys of kindness has always been her choice, as well as exchanging knowledge with those she comes across during those travels. the human connection is something she treasures greatly, especially with people she would've never met otherwise.
often struggles with self doubt, even more within the past year. nazlı is the type of person that can make or give strong advice to others and provide support where it's needed, but when it comes to herself, she second guesses every decision, every thought, every feeling. she's unsure what the root of this problem is and how to get it under control, how to " fix " herself without causing worry for the people she cares about.
has a total eidetic memory, which is definitely something she happily used to her advantage when she was younger to tease her siblings and get them into light amounts of trouble. nowadays, it's the perfect aid when visiting new places and learning the languages, along with reading over written texts and tales — she can be the perfect storyteller.
we are so glad to see you safe, LADY YANFEI ZHU of CHINA! it's dangerous out in the world these days, but i hear that you are AUDACIOUS and DEVOTED enough to handle it. just don't let your STUBBORNNESS bring you down! stay on your guard, because with your secret being at risk for exposure, you wouldn't want everyone to find out YOUR POLITICAL LOYALTIES HAVE SHIFTED.
birth name : yanfei zhu. nicknames : fei. meanings : swallow bird to fly. age : twenty five years old. date of birth : march twenty second. zodiac sign : aries. gender identity : demi woman. pronouns : she & they. orientation : bisexual & biromantic. status : unwed, unbetrothed. known languages : traditional chinese, mandarin, japanese, english.
positive traits : audacious, devoted, self-assured, meticulous, persuasive. negative traits : stubborn, temperamental, gossipy, confrontational. temperament : choleric. moral alignment : true neutral. interests or hobbies : gossiping and / or snooping, solving puzzles, playing ( winning ) games, flirting, knife throwing, swimming, calligraphy, kite making.
born to well respected officials of the chinese court, yanfei grew up knowing little about any real struggle. with everything made available on a golden platter, teachings and preparation for where her duties would reside as they aged quickly became second nature.
a jack of all trades and well versed in most things due to her teachers, yanfei is knowledgable on a variety of subjects, especially in the regard of healing. herbal medicine and personal experience relayed from her father in case of injury remain imbedded in her mind.
is someone who naturally gravitates to others. no matter the connection, she has no problem talking, and talking, and talking, until someone tells her to shut up ( even if it doesn't always work, as she also finds arguing to be a form of entertainment at times ).
has always possessed a fiery spirit, though it's safe to say it's doubled since princess kai-ming's banishment, yanfei's immediately following suit. the anger for the princess being abandoned for having a bigger heart than most remains a tended flame, the loyalty to the imperial family — a loyalty yanfei was born into — falling away like ash until nothing remains, while gratuity to the place to take and give kai-ming protection grows.
coming to terms with the severed connection with the very people who brought them into the world has weighed heavily on yanfei's shoulders, but they do not look back. only forward.
we are so glad to see you safe, PERSONAL GUARD TO THE QUEEN, ADISORN SAENGKAEW of THAILAND! it's dangerous out in the world these days, but i hear that you are SHARP-EYED and PROTECTIVE enough to handle it. just don't let your CYNICISM bring you down! stay on your guard, because with your secret being at risk for exposure, you wouldn't want everyone to find out YOU WISH TO REMOVE THE KING FROM YOUR SISTER'S LIFE ONE WAY OR ANOTHER.
birth name : adisorn saengkaew. nicknames : adi ( reserved for family only ). meanings : master, educated. age : thirty years old. date of birth : december eleventh. zodiac sign : sagittarius. gender identity : nonbinary. pronouns : they & he. orientation : bisexual & biromantic. status : unwed, unbetrothed. known languages : thai, english, mostly fluent or passable in languages or dialects native to surrounding areas of thailand.
positive traits : sharp-eyed, protective, adaptable, loyal, courteous. negative traits : cynical, ( can be a ) know-it-all, resentful, vindictive, judgmental. temperament : melancholic. moral alignment : neutral good. interests or hobbies : muay thai ( boxing ), krabi krabong ( traditional thai martial arts ), sword fighting, archery.
has trained in martial arts from a young age at their father's suggestion. while adisorn was not at all thrilled at first, throughout their teen years they grew to appreciate what they were doing and how it prepared them for defending and protecting others, or himself, if needed.
while adisorn originally had aspirations of pursuing a quieter noble life ( the exact role to take on being . . . something they never got very far with in terms of thinking :eyes: ) but when aranya requested their joining her, they didn't think twice.
the years spent in court has made them an acute observer of people. reading cues and body language well, no matter how subtle.
slight trust issues stemming from younger years have now developed in full, making it difficult for him to form close bonds with anyone outside of their immediate family. always quite skeptical and naturally assumes the worst in people's motives, whether it's toward the queen or adisorn himself.
proud dog dad of a blue thai ridgeback named tapi. one of the only possible times to see adisorn with a smile these days is when she's nearby.
disdain for their brother-in-law, the king of thailand, began the moment aranya came to them with her grievances for the first time. she was unhappy, which made them angry. with their parent's marriage as an example, they didn't understand how someone could be so cold to the person they married. their personal feelings remain their best kept secret, even now, despite their sister's choice in staying - they'll play the perfect support role as long as it's needed, though convincing their sister to reconsider staying with him is still the goal.
