๐ฐ๐ก๐๐ซ๐? bartholomew fair, games of chance (archery)
"mother does not need to know, sev. it will just be a little bit of fun, do you know what that is these days?" a boisterous laugh fills the air, the swedish prince patting his guard on his shoulder with a solid pat as he makes his way towards the archery game. his mother loved him to death, but she did not care for gus' interest in bows - often she stated that a king need not know such horror, he has an army for that. gus loved his mother, but her mind was narrow and clouded.
rolling his shoulders out, gus waves severin off to stand further back - allowing the prince some time to be a simple man and enjoy the fair. he hands coins to the stall keeper before bumping shoulders with the person beside him. gus was tall and broad, years of horsemanship, jousting and archery would do that to a person and coming from a family of giants, spacial awareness was nowhere to be seen. "my apologies, i almost took you out before we had chance at the game." a toothy grin, charming and princely, gus offers a hand to steady the other.
๐๐ฅ๐ฎ๐๐๐๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฌ - Bluebells symbolize humility, constancy, and everlasting love. They are also deeply tied to fairy magic, gratitude, and nostalgic memories.
๐ฆ๐๐ ๐ง๐จ๐ฅ๐ข๐ - Magnolia flowers symbolize perseverance, dignity, and nobility.
bluebells represent gus' inner self. he is selfless in his life and seeks to support others than care for his own wellbeing - hands are often torn and bloody from the perserverance of working a horse and curling rope over and over to save the elderly stablehands physical state. he holds no care for using his station as a means to cull others, to rule with an iron fist like his father was forbidden in his mind. he did not wish to be king.
magnolia flowers represent the person gus presents to the royal court of england and sweden, the noble and charming man with a witty response waiting on the tip of his tongue. he was trained under great teachers and was doted on by his nursemaids, he would be a great king.
