Notice of Dropping Muse

Hey everyone,

After about a year of threads, I’ve decided I will be dropping Niles and Ryoma.

My interests have definitely shifted throughout the months, and it has slowly become more difficult to come back and try to find my writing muse for these two. I feel bad that I tend to reply to threads inconsistently, and I apologize to anyone who has been waiting for a long while for any response.

To those who wish to continue threads outside of FERP, I’d be more than happy to discuss doing so through Discord. My DMs are open to everyone, and you can find me at JettoTanku#1118.

I feel bad suddenly dropping my threads like this, but I do hope to hear from you all in the near future. If not, it was fun threading!

Happy RPing!

- Jet

“Ah, you mean the Dusk Dragon.” Niles knew where that was, and turned his heels to walk towards the statue. “Yes, the land of Nohr was founded upon humans who worshipped the dragon. Some members of Nohr learn to become wyvern riders. My master’s sister, for instance.”

The outdoors was an overcast for now, giving them a good chance to see the dragon statue more up close. He glanced up at it, seeing it many times before.

“The history books proclaim the dragon gifted humans the ability to live and flourish here. So, yeah, I guess we’re pretty fond of them.”

“Yes, thank you for the obvious statement. I already knew nobody would care.” Well, at least Hector was learning. It wasn’t easy having to keep so distant, but it had its benefits. Less illness, less responsibilities, less nagging. It was lovely.

But, before he could even open his mouth to tell Hector what he knew, he saw someone turn the corner into the alley, and he knew exactly who it was. Quickly, Niles grabbed Hector and pulled him closer.

“Just stay close and make it look convincing,” he hissed in a whisper. “No time to ask.”

That truly was more  than he bargained for. He was expecting maybe a battle or something that he could help prepare for. No, this was bigger. He hummed and twirled some of his snow hair around a finger. 

“So, you’re no longer really a prince then if your father passed...” He rest his back against the bench, crossing a leg. “Why are you so worried when the summoner brought us all here?”

From across the area, Niles could see many brave warriors, familiar and new, fighting and sparring to become stronger. He would take part, but he’d rather learn by watching.

“Isn’t that reassuring to you?” One more glance at the ‘prince’. “Or is there something wrong still?”

“You would be correct. You are not special enough to be the only one. Everyone deserves my attention, wouldn’t you agree?” Niles would wink, but instead gave an ear to ear, shit-eating smirk in return. He stood upright and rest his hands on his hips, near a small dagger in case things got serious and this was a trap. As much as he likes to have his fun, he cannot let his guard down.

“Yes, of course, let’s spend all the time together.” It may waste her time, but he gets to have fun in the process. Maybe get some intel without knowing. He was excited, to say the least. “Now then, where shall we go...”

Niles gets that one a lot. Mostly, he gets that since he was a thief, himself. Leo will occasionally throw that as an insult, or a “joke” when they’re in town. “Don’t be thinking about snatching anything.” Still, the man laughed, a hand on his chest.

“Really?” His voice was low with a purr. “Only thieves? You don’t come across to me as someone who only finds street rats a bother. You come across as someone who has many burdens that plague him. So let’s start being honest with me, shall we, prince?”

The way Alfonse talked about being a prince - how it was how he was “Designed” - it made Niles so curious. He hummed and strolled to the bench, sitting down and, well, not leaving much distance.

“Oh, well, you piqued my curiosity of course, young Prince.” He turned his head so his only eye could meet the other’s face. “Such a prim and proper piece of porcelain like yourself must have a breaking point. Nothing bothers you to the point of a breakdown? Surely you jest.” He chuckled and rest his arm on the back of the bench.

“There must be something that makes you mad...”

“You tell me.” Niles rest his arms behind his head, relaxing where he stood. “There are those who benefit from loneliness and not having people to worry about. And, there are those like you who find it so necessary to have someone who loves you and be all over you when you come home at the end of the day. Who truly wins? Well, if you asked me, I think we both win.”

There was a shrug. “But, you made this a competition for some odd reason. Tell me, then, why is your life better than mine? I could name...well, a few things,” He ended with a smirk.

Odd Encounters >Niles

[sins-and-bows]

Niles almost expected that she would bring up a mysterious lover waiting for her brave return. He’s heard that one many times, and he merely chuckled when she brought it up.

“That never stops me from chatting with people, dear...Oh, do you consider this flirting?” That made him laugh again. “Goodness, you must be so touchy if you thought I was flirting. Why, I was just trying to talk to you. Relax a little, enjoy your time in Nohr why don’t you? I’d be glad to help you settle down~.”

He leaned down, smirking and looking at Mercedes’ face. “We can spend plenty of time together...Companion.”

How did this porcelain prince manage to keep saying more and more things to mess with? Niles smiled ear to ear at “Companionship.”

“Goodness. I wasn’t expecting an offer of skinship from your majesty...Well, how can I say no to that?” He clapped his hands together. “We can have so much fun. Besides, there’s much I’d like to learn about you, myself.”

Usually, he learns these things by simply bothering them until they break, or crack in Alfonse’s case. However, he decided to play it nice for now. Let his guard down. 

“Being a prince must be so stressful and busy. How do you do it?”

[prince-of-askr]

[sins-and-bows]

“Sorry” and “Apology” are two words he never heard directed at himself. In fact, those are words Niles has been forced to say to other people instead. To be told “I’m sorry” by someone else was rather shocking. If anything, like hell froze over.

What made things even more interesting was who, exactly, was apologizing. Ah yes, the perfect piece of porcelain. The one he’d love to put a few cracks in. Life shouldn’t be all about being a perfect, goody two-shoe prince. It’s okay to let loose now and then. Oh, how he’d love to show Alfonse that.

As Alfonse got his apology out, the mysterious man slicked his hair back, chuckling and smirking to himself.

“Dear Alfonse, why are you so tense? That was nothing close to uncouth. You know I wouldn’t mind if you accidentally tripped into me or anything of the sort.” A smug smile was aimed at the prince’s direction. “Now, what brings you here?”

Yes, good, she fell for his fast walking. He smirked to himself, but his voice sounded ‘sincere.’

“Oh, my apologies. I just assumed you’d like a fast tour to be on your merry way, that’s all.” Niles slowed his footing down just a little, enough for the two to continue on their merry way through Nohr. Now and then, he’d mention what the locations were.

When it came to grabbing the front of his shirt, it was obvious to anyone Niles didn’t mind. He chuckled behind the back of his hand and looked over his shoulder at the guest.

“Oh, it’s alright, my dear. If anything, you could have grabbed a little harder.”

Not only does he get to mess with this newcomer, but he gets paid for messing with a newcomer? Count Niles in. He smiled ear to ear.

“My Lord is busy with meetings right now. He would not appreciate if I was breathing down his neck every second as he tries to provide war plans. That would be rude of me, don’t you agree?”

At the acceptance of a guide, Niles turned his heels. “Now then, let’s go this way. I will show you around~. Try and keep up, love. I do walk pretty fast.”

Intentionally, he walked fast, just to test her.

[sins-and-bows]

Niles was taken aback. He’s always been told otherwise. That he didn’t deserve friends anyways, or that he’s always going to be a loner. To be told he should surround himself with people worth protecting, it...made him speechless.

He chuckled through his nose, shaking his head and shrugging. “You really are a  touchy one, aren’t you? I didn’t plan on saying much else about him, and you’re here getting so defensive...I don’t know if ‘protecting others’ means to be ready to lunge at the throat all of the time. But if I actually had people around who tolerated me, I don’t think I’d protect them the same way.”

Niles folded his arms, looking over at some people that had peeked into the alleyway amongst the arguing. He gave them a wave and a ‘wink.’

“Well hello there! Would you guys like to join us?” Only to watch them walk away.

One pet name and she already made a remark about it? Jackpot. This will be a fun way to pass the time, Niles was certain on that.

“Ah, did you say Mercedes? A lovely name.” Still, he took her hand, giving it a gentle kiss before looking at her face once more. “You can call me Niles, or whatever you’d like. I don’t mind, I’ve been called everything under the sun.”

He let the grip of her hand linger before letting go. “Ah, so you are here to study. So perhaps you desire a tour of sorts? Do you need a guide?”

Language Barrier | Niles & Leanne (Modern AU)

[sins-and-bows]

Even though Niles kept a tough front that his scar never bothers him today, the second he felt some pressure from Leanne’s fingers, he tensed. He kept his lips sealed to hide his gritted teeth. A sudden flashback of when it all happened. When that damn kid...

“Yeah, it’s pretty painful, but I’m over it. Won’t be the worst to happen to me, right?” 

He regrets lying to Leanne now. Seeing the scarring, hearing her story. He sighed and shook his head, folding his arms.

“Well, I sure think you are tougher than me. You had a family and you lost most of them. I don’t remember even having a family, so I didn’t have such a hard burden like you...”
