Outside of battle, Alcryst rarely has a reason to summon Lyn. Today, as he fits the ring on his finger, a question burns in his chest and the only way he can think to relieve it is to ask her, "Do you remember anything from the day King Morion was captured?" "No" she responds mournfully. She remembers the cold haze and darkness, remembers clinging to the little warmth that King Hyacinth had left in his heart. Fulfilling her duty, so she thought. "I see." The burning in his heart doesn't stop. "I'm..." Alcryst clutches it, nauseated. "It's not your fault." -- from Alcryst & Lyn drabble series

Thankfully Forsyth is upon Python immediately, granting Lukas the chance to hide his ugly reaction into his beer before it shows on his face. Soul of tact, that one. -- from backstreet's back, alright!

Lukas runs a hand through his hair. “Yet I think it’s fair to say that we are ill-prepared for whatever dangers might face us. And if all roads lead to death… what truly separates these choices for us? What really matters?” What difference does it make? We have nothing more to lose. But Lukas keeps that to himself. He’s no king, no one of consequence. -- from winners stay winning

“…He’s gone?” The gravity of the words, the consequences of this new reality going forward, threatens to knock Alcryst off his feet. His once-invincible brother, the new King of Brodia, breathes no more. To think the day would come… To think the day… would finally come…! -- from ask meme: [diamant] just died, [alcryst] finds out (but make it fell au)

The big boar that was wheeled into the castle was certainly impressive, but what truly made Alcryst happy was the sound of his brother’s voice calling out to him. “Deemont!” Alcryst dashed away from his mother’s side, completely ignoring his father as he threw himself into his brother’s arms. His father’s protests fell on deaf ears. (“Oh, come on! Nothing for Papa? Didn’t you miss me?) -- from ask meme: 10. holding their hand (flashback to when alcryst was 4 and diamant was 12)
