Duncan Stuart, 29 years old, Crowned Prince of Scotland

[fromdusk-toausra]

It had been a long day already and it was only half way over. After checking her watch she frowned, realizing there was still so much more daylight to keep working. Still, she needed a moment, so she excused herself from assisting the rebuild effort in the west wing. Winding through the corridors she wasn’t sure where she was going until she spotted an empty room with a large open floor. With a grin she walked in, hesitating a moment before she lowered herself onto the floor. It did wonder for her back, and as a plus, she wasn’t tying up room on a sofa if someone wanted to sit.  With a relaxed sigh she let her eyes drift closed. That was, until she heard foot step approaching. Craning her head back she grinned at the approaching figure. “It’s actually very good for your spine, laying on the ground that is. Would you like to join me?”

Wordlessly, Duncan shrugged to himself before moving to lie on the floor next to Ausra. However the Scot was quick to groan. “G’d on the spine aye, ‘m abou’ eigh’y percen’ sure tha’ yer spin is no mean’ to be straight.” definitely not comfy in the slightest - and he actually enjoyed camping. Head turned to look at the princess. “So why’re ye’ on the floor?” he asked curiously before sitting up on the splot.

“I think there might be a storage unit somewhere where people keep the tapestry they aren’t using,” when people had that amount of money, they liked to make sure that even the rugs and draperies coordinated with the party’s theme. He was sure this wasn’t any different from it. “If we’re lucky, there might even be a settee or two,” he added. “But that’s a great idea. I’ll make sure to pass it on should anyone come across those bottles,” something Klaus had to hope would happen sooner rather than later.

Of course there was, frankly every castle had one, but back home, that was more to do with his mother than anything else. His mother always wanted to be prepared for every occasion. “Aye, I’m sure there is.” Where was the big question though given they were currently stuck where they were. Perhaps once they get out of this room at least. He was gld the other thought it was a good idea, the last thing they needed was to be trapped without proper drinking water because plummeting temperatures froze it all.

Rosa & Duncan

Rosa: Oh, I didn't know! Do you need anything? I can bring it with me when I meet you? Rosa: In that case, not so embarrassed anymore. She was a sweetheart, she made it easy. Rosa: Even if I was the best I'd never tire of hearing it from you <3 Duncan: I'm good, don't worry, I have my orders in for a lot of things and just waiting on them arriving. Duncan: Good, you shouldn't be, who wants to be a boring stiff as a board princess? I'll have you know too that Skye is a great judge of character, and she likes you. Duncan: Well I'll be sure to remind you as often as possible ;)

“Yeah…I can’t imagine what it was like here. It was all over and done with before we even found out about it back home. I didn’t even have a chance to worry about anyone,” Casper replied, eyes lighting up as a plate was placed in front of him. “Pretty good, I’ve mostly done small things and some clean up from the avalanche. So far though it’s looking good.”

Duncan nodded, it was nice to know that despite the isolation that the village and castle offered, that news of what happened had reached home, so their parents and siblings still at home would have checked in with the staff to make sure they were okay. “Aye, no’ so much the village, bu’ I’ve been tryin’ t’ help wi’ the repairs in the castle. If only t’ ge’ m’ room back.” he joked.

“Blacks, navy blues, deep purples, got it.” She repeated, writing the colors down on her phone, making a mental note to write it down somewhere else so she won’t forget. “You’re welcome,” Lilli told him. “If you need anything else, I will make them for you, just say the word.’

“Pefec’. I look forward t’ workin’ wi’ ye!” Not only was Lilli extremely talented which he’d seen form her shop before the natural disaster and the time she fixed his shirt for him; but she was definitely easy on the eyes and he enjoyed her company.

Rosa & Duncan

Rosa: We could make a night of it? Movie and popcorn?

Rosa: Okay now I'm embarrassed and I feel like I should apologize. I can't help myself around animals haha.

Rosa: I was thanking you for making me feel good about myself and your sweetness. But I'll make sure to keep my gratitude to myself from now on :p

Duncan: Sounds like a plan, but lets utilise the cinema for a bit? I lost my stuff in the destruction, so I don't have any movies of my own right now until I start a restock.

Duncan: Don't be, it's one of my favourite memories of you. It meant a lot to me that you got on with my baby girl.

Duncan: You're already the best, you don't need to thank me for pointing that out Rosa ;)

when: greer’s first night, past midnight where: duncan’s rooms who: @princeduncan​

Under the very best of circumstances sleep had always been elusive for the youngest Stuart. Insomnia, maybe, or trauma - perhaps she’d always been a night owl, happier in the inbetween hours when the rest of the castle slept. A little pocket world for Greer and her ghosts, insulated in a protective solitude. Tonight she tried to blame jetlag, the time change, asked for her favorite tea from the kitchens - but nothing worked. It was just too fucking quiet, too cold, too strange. 

So she sought out the one bit of home she could count on in this strange and new place, her brother. Greer crept through the halls silently, as if she were a spectre herself, before finally coming to knock on what she hoped was his door.

“Duncan?” She whispered, “Are you awake?” 

[princeduncan]

Due to the avalanche, Duncan was misplaced from his room, all his possession destroyed aside from the ones that had been on him - like the useless damn phone that he couldn’t even call out to home one due to the shoddy signal in this place. Though at least the phone had his pictures of his sisters and his dogs on it. A small consolation truly. With Greer here, he couldn’t help but worry about his younger sister. Given everything she had been through, the inane isolation that the castle in the middle of the Russian mountains offered was going to bring up from bad memories.

His room was changing quite often, between where there was space, but he had to hand it to Greer being able to track him down regardless to the fact he felt a little homeless without his own fixed room. “Course, wha’ d’ye need?” he asked his sister as he leaned against the doorframe, arms open to give her a hug as the crowned prince yawned.

She jumped up and down again once more. She was so excited to get started on this project that she wanted to find her sketchbook and start sketching. “Oh…alright. No pastel pinks. Though-” Lilliana stopped as she pictured him in a pink shirt, then realized how bad he’d actually look in it. “You’re right, no pinks. Maybe darker colors?” she asked while tapping her chin. 

“Blacks, navy blues, deep purples - blacks.” He offered the colour palette suggestion with a lopsided grin. Though anything but Mia’s suggested pastels would be most welcomed. He trusted Lilli though, she seemed to have a good sense about these things. “Thank ye’ kindly, Lilli.” the prince smiled at her warmly. “i’s a big favour yer’ doin’ me by helpin’ out.”

Tell her…just tell her that he does like her…”I would like to tell her,” Valentin answered slowly. “But when I’m around her, I start to sputter and say random facts about normal things-like snow. I told her that snowflakes aren’t the only form of snow, and before we got saved I nearly said something about looking out the window and the snow and how it can be romantic with hot chocolate.” 

A familiar concept truly. Take a girl to bed and Duncan was the most confident guy in the world. Take a girl into his heart? Then suddenly no words could be enough. “I ge’ tha’, I do. Bu’ ye’ dinnae want someone else hittin’ on her.” thought personally he didn’t see anything wrong with the lines that Valentin had considered using, talking about the snow could be romantic, even if it didn’t come out that way, it would have been at least a topic of conversation - he talked about the snow with Rosa after all.

Rosa & Duncan

Rosa: I would love to see them. I would invite myself to see them right now but it's late and I don't know how you would feel about that.

Rosa: Did I? I tend to do that a lot and the worst part is I never realize when I do.

Rosa: Thank you 🥰

Duncan: Always welcome to come over Rosa, you know that.

Duncan: They weren't used to princesses outside my sisters rolling on the floor with the dogs you know. The look on their faces were priceless.

Duncan: Never thank me for being honest :)

It took Casper a moment to realise it was indeed English the other was speaking, in an accent from the UK was his guess, and even longer to be able to decipher the words. Which he felt a little guilty for, but then again he would’ve been the same if the other had answered in Russian anyway. “Oh, well we’ll just pretend I definitely got it right,” he said with a nod, toying with the glass in front of him. “Up at the castle, it was my first day today. Hence treating myself to a meal and a drink.” 

“I’m happy t’ pretend tha’ man.” Duncan nodded, he probably should started teaching himself Russian given he’d been stuck here long enough. He’d hoped that he wouldn’t end up being here too long, but alas. “Well welcome, be’ yer glad ye’ missed the avalanche?” he asked with a small smile. He had to wonder what it was like though, as a non-royal coming to the castle - did they feel as trapped in this town as some of the royals did. “How did yer firs’ day go?”

[princeduncan]

lillianaxcarlisle​:

Lilliana wanted to jump for joy (actually she did, along with a squeal) and gave Duncan another huge hug. “How about next week?” she said once she pulled back. “I can measure you and pick out the perfect colors and get started making the clothes.” she was too excited to get started that her mind started to sketch out the perfect outfits for him. 

“Nex’ week sounds perfec’.” the prince assured the excited young woman as he gave her a hug back. He couldn’t imagine how hard this whole thing was for her, so helping her seemed natural - plus she’d be doing him a favour by clothing him before his cousin actually did try clothe him in weird pastels. “I’ll leave it all in yer capable hands - jus’ no pastel pinks, it’s no m’ colour.” he teased thinking of his conversation with Mia.

“I think you would look amazing in a cute outfit,” Emilia countered. “We could get you in some very lovely pastels, Duck. Some pastel blue and pink would look wonderful on you and would be perfect for the Spring season.” While she couldn’t force him to wear clothes like that, she was already planning on having something sent to his room. “Any lady would be amazed to see it,” she teased. 

“Course ye do.” Duncan mused, but his nose crinkled at the mention of of pastels. Times like this he missed an entire country border between them. “I’m no wearin’ pink. I’ll push t’ a pastel blue bu’ I draw the line at pink.” he protested. “Awk aye, I can see the list o’ betrothal requests comin’ int’ m’ parents as soon as the lady’s see me in pastels.” he teased right back.

Rosa & Duncan

Rosa: Of course! We need updated pictures of the love bugs, I kind of want to see them too. Promise to gush about them and show them off once you get them in a month or two?

Rosa: The one that I sat on the floor with and pet for about twenty minutes straight? She was very sweet and I think I fell in love instantly.

Rosa: I only speak truth, it's improper to lie. Especially about stuff like this. I will say, if you're smiling as much as I am I love knowing that I can do that to you.

Rosa: It means a lot to me too. You mean a lot to me.

Duncan: I wish the post here didn't take so damned long, but aye, I promise. I have some on my phone I took before I came here last year, if you want to see them.

Duncan: Think you gave my staff a fright when you did that, but aye, the one that was using you like a dog bed.

Duncan: Definitely smiling :)

Duncan: You mean a lot to me too Rosa.

Taking a deep breath and following him, he lets out a little laugh before sighing. “Well one, I’m doing just fine, actually. I was about to write to my father, see how life is back home before everything went to shit. Annd on top of that I was really close to tell the girl I liked that I really liked her, but I didn’t.”

“Maybe ye’ need t’ tell this girl ye’ like tha’ you do?” He asked as he moved over to s whisky decanter and poured them both a healthy couple of fingers of the amber liquid. “If you dinnae tell her, ye’ll end up regrettin’ it. Yer’ pa on the otherhand can wait given how slow the mail is here, ye’ know?”
