blue light glowing dimly like a dying fish in the ocean’s depths,
the world awoke to them, and they awoke to it.
Anger and pain breathed into the air, [b r e a t h l e s s],
Shock blue eyes seek to swallow the universe whole…
A catalyst to all they meet. Breathe deep, this is only the start.

Yeah so... Had to hard reset it all. So... That happened. *sigh* Anyway, I'll figure out what I can and try to come back. I'm just exhausted being sick and dealing with everything life keeps throwing at me rn. But! That's sad talk and I'm trying not to be :3
It was impressive that Dragon was so proficient with Italian though it were not her mother tongue, and at quite the young age as well. Perhaps only a small number of years her junior, she was quite learned. A rarity for women of this era, especially among the common folk.
Of course, given her current state of dress, she could hardly be considered one of the common folk. Again, her hair comes to view once more as a curious antithesis to whatever quandary crossed Fiore’s mind. Perhaps, she was someone of rank who was travelling from outside of Italy and had come across some pains. Where exactly from, Fiore hadn’t the slightest of ideas, but that wasn’t of importance at the very moment.
“I could certainly understand the notion of shorter hair being more convenient, though in direct opposition of societal norms.” Whatever the stranger meant by ‘lifestyle,’ Fiore wouldn’t press the matter. It was unbecoming of a proper woman to be too curious into the lives of others lest she be cast as a gossiping tart.
“Oh my, Dragon is quite the imposing name. A pleasure to properly meet your acquaintance miss Dragon. My namesake comes from flowers, as the hopes was that I would grow to be a beauty like a flower garden blooming in the middle of spring.”
Whether her parents truly believe she became such was another story entirely, but that was no story to recount to someone you’ve only just met.
“Well, I do believe I can navigate you to the nearest establishment or which you could rest your weary feet. As for purchasing a change of clothes…” Fiore gives Dragon a once over, “I don’t suppose you intend to barter your jewels for clothes? You would gain much unneeded attention from miscreants should you pawn too many jewels at once.”
It wasn’t that well known, but Fiore did work as a seamstress in a small shop tucked away from the bustling of the city. “You are quite tall for most women in this area, but perhaps we can find something suitable for you at the shop. Please, follow me.” Fiore stands up, dusting off the skirt of he dress before leading the way to the shop she worked at, briefly explaining to the shop owner of the situation before allowing Dragon inside.
Fiore motions for Dragon to sit in a seat, pouring her a cup of tea before she goes to where the store owner was. “She is rather tall, I don’t know if we have anything that would be of proper length.” That is, a skirt that would go to her ankles. “We could add on some fabric, though less refined, it would suffice as an emergency measure.” Certainly better than nothing.
“Miss Dragon, would you mind if I were to get your measurements? If you’ve any requests or preferences, we can see what we could do.”
Yes, they had intended to barter their gemstones, but maybe they had gold on hand that would be fine? Holding back a sigh, unsure what to do, they grasped the little purse at their side, small as a coin purse it held lipstick and a few gold necklaces and chains within, as well as bracelets and spare gemstone covered rings, one surely missing a stone within… Dragon always tried to keep items available for barter on hand, but knowing what was safe to barter and what wasn't was always… hard. Still, they dutifully followed after, heels clicking against the ground, and they tried their best to not stand out by walking with direct purpose. Usually if someone walked like they knew where they were going, not many noticed them. Though, that could hardly help given their unique attire, height, and over all appearance. Once inside, they seemed to relax a little, blue eyes scanning over the room with caution. Then came the questions. Damn…
"I do hate to be difficult but… Would it be possible to receive pants instead of a dress?"
Shut up, this is an awful idea to say. It may be smart for you, but you can just tell it's unsafe to suggest that to these poor people!
Still, their mouth plowed on, speaking faster than they could give themself time to silence. "I fear with my figure, I could pass easier as a male among your society, than I would ever look appropriate as a female. And, forgive me for saying so but, would it not be safer for me to be assumed a man than a woman?"
Dragon stepped forward to be measured, waiting in what they assumed was the appropriate spot. Already adjusting to the stance that was often suggested by seamstresses of their time. Of course, their eyes stared forward, seemingly stalwart in their choice of words, but inside Dragon was basically festering with nerves at having said something so blatantly out of the normal. They were a walking talking contradiction to the timeline they clearly slipped into, and given the familiar curl of flames inside them, this was… surely a timeline they could fuck up more than intended. What if they said something… or did something wrong? Augh, this was going to be a mess for sure! May as well try to do a little damage control?
"If you can't, that is entirely adequate. I am perfectly alright with a dress that is extended at the bottom. I understand propriety in your culture is different from my own, and that some things are, unacceptable and could endanger your business should it be traced back."
Dragon no… King, didn't want to endanger a woman that so very obviously had good intentions in her heart. Or maybe it was her vague resemblance to someone she knows exists in the future… Also a woman that helped King when they were in need, and as such, King, knowing that timelines can alter others, especially in this world, was hesitant to endanger this Fiore Rossi, even if she had no connection to Haru Muira…
Sorry I haven't been here. I've been wiped. BUT. I have other methods of communication. Liiiike disc.ord or IMs. I'd love to plot with some of y'all or just yap. I miss writing King, and I miss writing with y'all.

Bless you. XD You asked this earlier. :3
King has a few nicknames. Such as the following: King, Ryuu, and Tiny Dragon. Also- "Fox's Dragon" or "Dragon" in the criminal networks.
With King it depends on the criticism and who it's from. Generally though, the words of the masses do not bother the powerful. Or something like that. However, if someone needles them repeatedly, and keeps at it long past an acceptable duration, King is likely to snap. King does have a temper after all.
How many languages do they know?
What are their hobbies?
Do they have any pet peeves?
[accepting so long as this works - here's the source for reblogging.]
They know, currently as of this year, 10 languages. 2 non verbal languages, and 8 verbal languages. King is definitely a polygot. As for languages that aren't existing in their world like in FMA/FMAB Amestrian and Xingese they know via their 'curse'. ^.^
I've answered this in a previous ask. [Link]
King can't stand when people shuffle their feet. The noise is annoying and the activity of dragging your feet bothers them. Step with purpose or don't step at all. Or something like that.
What type of person is your character most likely to be drawn to?
[accepting so long as this works - here's the source for reblogging.]
This is long so... ^.^
King is indeed a good liar, it's lying for survival vs lying for superficial reasoning that stops them from lying effectively. For things like keeping someone safe, they can lie with ease and boldness. But for things like what their favorite flavor of cake is? Horrible. Absolutely wiggly lips or whatever other ways are fairly obvious. :3
It really depends on the world, but honestly, if King doesn't have to wake up early, they'd rather not. They have trouble falling asleep, and they have trouble staying awake.
It, once again, depends on the world... Generally King is conscious of themself, but not self-conscious. Like... in the FMA/FMAB world they are, in fact, self-conscious of their legs being automail. ^.^
King is superstitious only for good luck things, they believe luck is inherently good. Bad things aren't fault of karma or something like that, but merely happenstance of the universe. Good luck is earned or given. Things that 'ward off bad luck' like tossing salt over your shoulder, or something, are nonsense but if someone near them is superstitious, they'll do them to appease that person.
King used to be a half full person, but lately they're a half empty type. I do not see them changing back to a half full sort of person.
King has a lot of hobbies, it's honestly probably best to ask them what hobbies they don't dabble in. King likes cosplay, weapon training, linguistics, cooking, dancing, reading fiction and non-fiction, and watching animations and dramas, as well as their all time favorite- traveling.
King's favorite holiday is actually Imbolc, a holiday that is their birthday but is also the celebration of the return of spring after wintertime. Aside from that, they love Halloween because it is a popular celebration time to dress in costume and it's fun for any age.
I have a playlist for songs that describe them but... No Roots by Alice Merton. It has a line that's "If you ask me where I come from, I'll say a different land" and it's just... peak, ya know? :3
They like confident people. Confidence, even if it is only momentary, is an attractive trait for them.
Someone who puts those around them first, the willingness to keep in mind the thoughts and feelings of those around them.
Sorry I've been silent, having a really rough time with life lately but doing my best to get past it. Anyone is free to message me if you want, I'll answer back, I just can't really dedicate time to rp replies rn. I'm sorry.
