slumbering princess

You were the place that I could always rest my head when my world had come u n d o n e. 'Cause I've been wrestling with my demons, telling me I have NO CHOICE... How I wish that I could lean upon you now. Amidst the chaos and the noise, your light buried the dark, a constant unwavering heart. You have carried me through more than you could know... I still feel your hand in mine.

Seth grimaced slightly as Cethleann rightfully reprimanded him. “I hadn’t meant to interfere,” he replied honestly. There was no point trying to deny what had happened. Even if he had wanted to lie to her she surely would have seen right through him. “He came into the store and I had seen you two and… his reputation does precede him,” he sheepishly explained. He knew full well that Cethleann was an adult and was more than capable of protecting herself but he couldn’t help worrying regardless. It wasn’t fair to impose it upon her but he nonetheless could not avoid an ever present fear that something terrible was only ever a moment away from causing him to lose her, and while he tried with all his might to keep a lid on his more over protective qualities inevitably he would occasionally slip. “I’m sorry, Cethleann.”

          Her anger deflates just as quickly as it had flared up at the apology. Despite everything, he really is a good father, and she can’t keep being mad at him if he knows that what he did was wrong. 

          Besides, even though he doesn’t know where his fear of losing her comes from, she does. And she can’t really fault him for that - her blood may not be so useful in such a peaceful town, but they’ve become accustomed to him being the protector and her being protected. Maybe it’s his memories beginning to surface - or maybe that’s her wishful thinking. She sighs.

          ❝ I had it under control.  I was just in              the  middle  of   telling  him  not  to              try anything, in fact.  Please let me              reiterate: I can take care of myself. ❞

          ❝ That said, I do forgive you. All I              ask is that you place a bit more              trust in me. I promise, if trouble              does arise, I will tell you. ❞

          She opens her arms slightly, a silent request for a hug - and a reconciliation.

do you think your dad will ever remember?

          ❝ I believe that one day, he will - or maybe that is just my own desires speaking for me. It is not as if much will change if he does, anyway… though now that we are in a world where my blood isn’t so desired, I would love to take the opportunity to freely call him ‘Father’. ❞ // @bcdytemple.

[sleeprincipessa]

where do you spend most of your time?

          ❝ Oh, I love going to the beach !! It is the closest thing the town has to Rhodos Coast, after all. My brother and I try to go fishing there, sometimes, and I highly recommend taking walks along the shore. The sound of the waves, the feeling of the sea breeze… it is truly an otherworldly experience. ❞

          ❝ Brother...  I thought I told you time              and time again not to meddle with              any of my affairs. ❞

          She says this, but really, she shouldn’t be surprised. It seems that no matter how many centuries that pass, no matter what era or world they end up in next, one thing remains constant: her father will never get rid of his overprotective streak. If it wasn’t such a headache she’d even call it nostalgic - she’s sure they’ve had multiple conversations that went along exactly like this. 

          That doesn’t make it any less annoying. 

          ❝ I understand the rumors surrounding              the man are concerning,  but please,              I  think I am mature enough  to  form              my own judgment without you trying              to interfere. ❞

                    PORTIA  IS  SMALL.  there  is  no  other  way  to  put  it.  her  legs  can  only  carry  her  so  far  and  so  fast  at  once,  and  it  doesn’t  help  when  there  are  other  students  trying  to  head  the  same  way,  most  of  them  taller,  bigger,  and  stronger  than  her.  still,  there  is  at  least  one  advantage  to  being  small  —  having  the  ability  to  weave  her  way  through  a  crowd  of  people  without  any  incidents.  a  light  push  or  jab  here  and  there  is  all  she  really  receives  as  she  makes  her  way  down  the  pathway.

                    ❝  cethleeeaaaaaann  !!  ❞  she  calls  in  a  loud,  high-pitched  voice.  she  does  finally  reach  her  destination,  upon  which  she  grins  and  stops  to  catch  her  breath.  running  while  dodging  moving  obstacles  (  read:  people  )  isn’t  always  easy.  ❝  there  you  are  !!  ❞

         She already knows to stop and wait once she hears that distinctive voice calling out to her. The university is always so crowded, and it wouldn’t do if her Portia got lost trying to reach her. She stays put until eventually she spots her friend emerge from the crowd - she’s already giggling at the sight, at the way Portia needs to catch her breath.

         ❝ Indeed, here I am. I know you are             excited  for  the  sleepover,  but  it             wouldn’t do if you tire yourself out             before we even get there !! ❞

         She is, however, just as excited. It took a long while for them to pick a date they could do this that won’t clash with either of their schedules, and now that the time is come she’s excited to simply have fun with her best friend.

( hailee steinfeld, cisfemale, she/her, fe3h ) * &. i know it must be scary for you, flayn, after surviving the takeover. to turn into someone like cethleann jade, a nineteen year-old student at castle town university, right here in castle town. just remember that you are as sweet as you are naive, and to be wary, be safe, be true to who you are : heroic through and through. ( liv!! )

SHE IS BABY! (fe3h spoilers,,, like a lot of them) (war tw) (death tw) (murder tw)

BEFORE CASTLE TOWN.

i’m jumping RIGHT into the spoilers

flayn is actually saint cethleann, one of the four saints. As a survivor of the massacre at Zanado, she and her father allied with Seiros during the War of Heroes. Injuries she suffered in the same battle that killed her mother would cause Flayn to need to enter a dormant state for many years in order to heal. (me just copypasting this from the wiki: this is fine)

Seteth, her father, decided he needed to hide her and her identity in order to protect her from those who might harm her for her Crest. this is how she picks up the name Flayn instead. they decide to stay at the monastery together, allied with Rhea, and pose as brother and sister instead of father & daughter.

After being kidnapped by the death knight but thankfully rescued by Byleth and the Blue Lions, she decides to join Byleth’s class as an official student, as she thinks that the safest place for her to be right now is at the monastery surrounded by capable fighters.

she comes from the azure moon route so she does stay w the blue lions during the war!!

IN CASTLE TOWN.

cethleann - her true name, she notices, is something she doesnt have to hide anymore - has only known her brother Seth as her only guardian figure, and while they actually ARE siblings in this life she still nearly calls him “Father” from time to time.

waking up in CT was a lot like waking up from her thousand year slumber, so really it feels like nothing has changed, besides the fact that there’s no more war - which she’s very thankful for. 

she’s a nursing student in Castle Town University, and is known for her skill and knowledge in medicine - she is, after all, still a healer through and through.

she might honestly be even happier here than in Fodlan. there’s no war to think about, no fighting. there’s only re-learning all of her old friends (and there are so many of them here!), meeting new friends, bonding with her father brother without having to worry about her safety... this is good. life is good and she’s happy

she probably tries to fish in the beach but like.... let her live please
