Forever A Mother Never A Slave

Aelia, an escaped elven slave of Magister Cassius Nerva. Mother of Valerius Nerva. Currently hiding in Lowtown working as a tavern server to support herself and her son.

You have one ask to make my Muse break down crying. GO FOR IT!

She looked down at the boy and a small smile curled her lips. “Ah, well it is true that we are hardly common here in the south. If your son has questions I would be willing to answer a couple,” Ataash told her.

[protectmyboy]

        "You are very far south, my lady." Aelia wondered on whether it was polite to ask the woman if she was tal-vashoth. She'd only ever met those and kossith slaves, never a proper qunari, and this woman still didn't quite fit the description she had heard. Leaning down she whispered a few cautions in her son's ear before listening to his question in Tevene, ready to act the translator between the two.

        "He wishes to know, ah, where your horns are, my lady."

“Shanedan, serah. Is there something you need?” Ataash asked softly, trying not to accidentally intimidate the smaller woman.

[protectmyboy]

        Aelia smiled nervously as she gripped her son by the collar. Her was babbling incessantly in Tevene about the 'Qunari lady' before them. "I apologize, my son has never seen one of your kind, my lady." She did her best to look thoroughly apologetic while still attempting to admonish Vale for his rudeness.

Sometimes, on her way home from the tavern she works at Aelia goes to the Gallows and just stares up at the impenetrable building and wonders if she's doing the right thing trying to raise Vale by herself or if he'd be safer in the circle. She knows that if she does her son will grow up without a mother, yet it also means he will grow up out of his father's grasp forever.

She strays there often enough that she's started a rumor of the ghost of mage who haunts the very edges of the gallows courtyard.

Seriously though, everyone look up the Barbary pirates they're super cool.

[qwetasgxccgawaww-deactivated201]

protectmyboy replied to your post:Well, people of Rivain are definitely people of color as see by Duncan and Isabela. They look more Hispanic than anything and that’s not something that’s European.

|| Moorish spain. They’re moorish spain. EVERYONE ALWAYS FORGETS ABOUT THE MOORS. If anything those two might be considered either arabic or north african. ||

[I never actually thought of Moorish Spain! I dunno, Isabela seems very Hispanic to me but Duncan came across as possibly Arabic?]

[protectmyboy]

|| As someone who is hispanic that is a very weird thing to say, considering hispanic covers a much broader cultural spectrum than calling someone moorish. Like, people who are Peruvian are just as hispanic as someone from Guatemala but their culture are still vastly different. Besides, if we're going by historical basis there were very well known moorish pirates akin to what Isabelle is, the big whole lot of the barbary pirates for one. ||

Harass my muse with sexual innuendos.

      It was his first time seeing an Alienage. He’d hardly gotten down the steps when he stopped; staring wide eyed and partially open mouthed at the sight of it. There was a small twinge of nostalgia and one of hurt; this was not unlike the homes of the lower class Elvhen of Arlathan. But while there were some similarities, it seemed in far more disrepair than he’d known his old home to get. These elves seemed more weary, apprehensive. . He could only imagine that it’d come with being under a human’s thumb for so long.

   Slowly, he descended further down the stairs, prying his eyes off of the tall buildings that seemed to encase the Alienage. He’d come here for a reason; he had wanted to check with the barmaid he’d met a few days ago. See if she was well. Fortunately, he knew her name so he could ask some of the elves standing about if they knew where she lived. …If they were inclined to speak with him, at least.

        Nearly noon, it was still far to early for Aelia to head to work so she was spending her precious few hours with her little boy. Vale was more than happy to play with his mother, though he clearly wanted much more labor-intensive playing as he tugged at her sleeves to play tag with him. "Easy, Vale. Matrem, non potest persequetur te." She slipped into Tevene quite easily around her son. Her mother tongue easily flowing where the trade language did not.

        Still, a day with Vale was a delightful one no matter how tired she was. It wasn't as if she had ever slept long, leisurely hours. Three hours of sleep a night was not ideal but she could continue on with it for a few weeks yet. Then perhaps she would be able to ask the tavern owner to give her different hours, put her on day shift as opposed to the night one. Though, she knew it was unlikely she would actually ask, she did like to think about it.

        However, she was startled out of her reverie by her son tugging once again at her hand but this time pointing towards the entrance of the alienage. "Mater, vide!" The little elf-blooded boy insisted, tugging still on his mother's sleeve. He only paused when he seemed to realize that he was speaking in Tevene, something his mother was trying to ease him out of. "Mater, l-look." He mumbled, uch less confidently, pointing to the strange looking elf standing in the entryway to the alienage.

        Aelia's first instinct was to run, but that always looked to suspicious so instead she was quick to pick up her toddling son, ignoring his fussing at being treated like a baby. She ignored the rush of panic and slowly made her way just close enough to the stranger to get a good look. The relief that washed over her when she realized it was simply the foreign elf she had met a few days prior. Shushing Vale, she moved into his line of sight and waved him closer, "Avanna, my friend."

❝ I don’t know why, but every now and again in my life - for no reason at all - I need you. ❞

❝ The way forward is sometimes the way back. ❞

❝ It’s very rude to stare! ❞

❝ What did you have to go and do a thing like that for? ❞

❝ What’d you expect fairies to do? ❞

Put one in my ask box! [TRAPPED/KIDNAPPED VERSION]

"What’s going on?"

"Hello, my pet."

"I’m afraid you’re a bit ‘tied up’."

"I’m sorry, I couldn’t hear you."

"There, that should keep you quiet."

"No one will find us here."

"You’ll be mine forever."

"Don’t bother to struggle…"

"How are we getting out of this?"

"You got a plan?"

"Now would be a good time to plan our escape!"

"The ropes are too tight!"

"The door’s locked!"

"Stop screaming or I’ll shut you up!"

"There’s no way out!"

[protectmyboy]

"You look like you're in pain."

     Aelia likely wouldn’t have realized the comment was directed at her if she hadn’t been aware that she and the other elf were the only people in this gloomy corner of the tavern. “Do not trouble yourself, m’lord.” Aelia told the customer with a gentle smile as she continued to clean up the table beside his own. She appreciated the concern, to a certain degree, but she was working and with mouth to feed at home stopping because of old wounds wasn’t an option. “It is only old aches from old injuries acting up with the weather.”

[lethendralisandvengeance-blog]

Fenris frowned, watching her work. He’d seen her in this tavern before; always keeping to herself always quiet. There always seemed to be something on her mind. As hard as she worked, Fenris had a few suspicions. “I’m sorry to hear that. I hope you feel better, serah,” the elf murmurs, sliding a few extra coins toward her.

[protectmyboy]

Aelia's eyes widened, slightly disbelieving of the coins pushed her way. It took several moments of staring at them before her hands reached out, not quite snatching them but definitely quicker than normal "Bennefar--Th-Thank you, thank you very much." She told him--quickly correcting her Tevine, too excited at the prospect of new clothes and fresh food for her son that this coin meant.

Aelia can speak three languages fluently and has conversational understanding of about two more. She is however, very tight lipped about this fact and the only two she claims to know are Tevine and the Trade tongue.
